kjashdiuqhfjiasd, I didn't notice this before, but Hel's hair. I must have it. Where? Where. Also, maybe I'm super slow, but who is Hugi? And am I supposed to pronouncing it like the diaper brand?

I would be hoping for fashion icon as well.
rue stuff!  No one wants to be a Kardashian.

That made me laugh out loud, along with many other parts of the story!  Excellent story so far.  Will be reading  :)
Thanks!  I'm so glad you're enjoying it.

I admit, that made me laugh :P I really get that Pippin vibe from this - I mean obviously 'cause you wrote it but what I'm trying to say is you have a very particular writing style and it's awesome. I do love your sense of humour.
What a lovely compliment.  It's always refreshing as a writer to know that readers fee that I have a unique voice rather than just being one of the crowd.  Thanks for that.

This is hilarious!  ;D ;D  So what happens to Jasper?
Jasper becomes the first soldier in Loki's army...though he should probably be out of diapers first...

Her pregnancy outfit had me howling XD  Actually, most of the update had me laughing hysterically.
Such odd maternity wear!  All of my Sims seem to lean towards these outrageous maternity wear choices  Glad you're enjoying the story.

Hmm, I'm not sure where I got that hair.  I'll see if I can figure it out and let you know.
Hugi (at least in my mind) is pronounced hyoo-gee.  "Hugi" is the Norse word for thought and he appears personified in the Norse myth of Thor and Loki visiting Jottenheim (land of the giants) and Hugi outraces one of the gods' companions as no one can move faster than thought.

@Kase: PM coming your way about the hair. :)

Hel might be a tragic clown, but she still has the cape! I want to say that she's Super Tragic Clown now.

Laughed at the bit about Jasper's no-effort name too.

So I just finished reading Raia's Second Chances and thought I'd lurk around this board for other non-legacy stories. This was the first story I clicked on - rather absent-mindedly - not really knowing what to expect. (Well, to be honest, I was kinda wondering if an Avenger might make an appearance, but anyway...)

This had me reading from the first line and wouldn't let me go. Since I was supposed to be doing something else, I kept telling myself that I'll just read one more chapter and I'll stop there. Instead, I kept reading and was very disappointed when there were no more chapters to read.

I loved how serious this began and yet I found myself hanging onto very word. Then the sisters began talking - in all their unique quirks and hilarity - and I was hooked! I'd quote so many lines that made me laugh or made me smile or were just really well-written lines, but then I'd probably end up just copy-pasting about two-thirds of your story into my comment (Don't worry. The other one-third is great too.)

Anyway, I'm glad to have found a new story that will be quite the delight to keep up with. Yehi! Yehi! *hands over bag of chocolate chip cookies with rainbow sprinkles to PeregrineTook for a job well done*

It's both humbling and amazing to find such wonderful, talented writers among the sims community. *satisfied sigh*

I'll try to catch up on her other stories, Mags... I'm trying to catch up on two other sim stories right now. :( Gawrsh. I wish I'd discovered sim stories so much sooner!

Oh and please... call me Ivane. :)

Hi Ivane. Pip is actually a guy (I'm hoping a cute one else my "cute-guy-who-writes-like-a-dream fantasies are for naught lol) yeah I understand your dilemma. I sometimes get to the point where someone comments on a prior character in the story and I can't remember them because I've read so many stories!

Thanks for all of the positive input and for tracking down the hair for me so I didn't have to figure it out since I always forget such things.  SuperTragicClown so needs to be a thing!

It always seems to be the glorious situation with all the great writers here that we all have way more stories to read than we have hours in the day.

Yes, I am a guy.  Thanks for noticing.  And don't worry, I'm shockingly handsome in a down-to-earth and outrageously humble sort of way   ;=)

Helheim's outfit looks incredibly like the original armor of The Banshee Queen, Sylvanas Windrunner, from world of warcraft  ::)  ;)

LOVE IT! Totally my favorite sim so far :D

The Daughters of Loki: Valkeries
« Reply #54 on: July 02, 2014, 02:56:25 PM »
After some time spent as a tragic clown, Hel came to a conclusion:  she was not pregnant.



Hel:   NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But shortly thereafter, the effects of the tragic clown curse wore off and she was able to blow off some steam.



Hel:  Come on, fuzzy bunny.  I am gonna get the fuzzy bunny!
And while his neglectful mom was away, young Jasper had a significant life event.



And apparently, some gender confusion?



Midy:  Who's my pretty little boy?  Who's my pretty little boy?
Jasper:  Pity!
Hmm, that might be accurate, Jasper.



Hel:  Dang it!  I didn't get the bunny.  I just got this head-size chunk of gold. 
And speaking of getting things, Sleipnir got this certificate for maxing the logic skill.



Sleipnir:  Yeah, I'm kind of the smartest person in Moonlight Falls.  No big deal.  I'm just awesome.  That's all.
But it seems there are some other people in Moonlight Falls who are a bit clever as well.



Dahlia:  So, my husband started acting all sorts of cocky and self-absorbed right after meeting you and that was shortly before your sister had a baby.  Anything you need to tell me?
Fennie:  Fufu!  I said no visitors!
Fufu:  Whine.



Dahlia:  So, is your sister having an affair with my husband?
Fennie:  What?  An affair?  Oh, that's all you're worried about.  No, they aren't having an affair, just a baby.
Dahlia:  Wha...?  NOOO!!! 
Fennie:  Why are you running away crying?  Isn't it good news?  They're not having an affair!
Fufu:  Woof.
Fennie:  I know, right?  It's not even like she's still making babies with him.



Yes, she was now trying to have babies with Branch.  Again.  And without the tragic clown curse this time.  And immediately sending him away.
Branch:  I'm such a stud!
Hel:  Aren't you gone yet?
And shortly thereafter...



Midy:  Umm, did you just break the door?
Hel:  Blurg!!
Midy:  Okay, we'll talk later.



pregnancy is confirmed.
Hel:  Hopefully, I'll actually have a pink fairy girl this time instead of another worthless non-pink, unfairy, anti-girl.
Speaking of the non-pink, unfairy, anti-girl, he'd already learned all of his skills and is now enjoying some book time.



As reigning queen of literature, you'd think Sleipnir would approve.



Sleipnir:  I have now completed the entire Jimmy Sprocket series and I must say the character development is lacking and the plots are so thin you could slice them to pieces with a toothpick.
Jasper:  Pity!!
Sleipnir:  Yes.  Yes it is.
And Sleipnir got in some time with the other youngster in the household as well.



Sleipnir:  Wait, so who did you say has been eating your food?
Fufu:  Woof.
Fennie:  *Om nom nom*
And that same part of the yard was a nice spot for some socializing later that night.



Hel:  I'm pregnant!
Flint:  Umm, then should I really be whacking you with a pillow?
Hel:  And you're old!!
Flint:  Alright, it's on!!
But it seems pillow fighting is an entirely safe activity for a pregnant Sim as this happened shortly thereafter...



Hel:  Owww!!!
Hugi:  Oh good!



Hel:  Good?!?  You try squeezing a watermelon through a garden hose and then tell me this is a good thing!
Sleipnir:  Hey!



Sleipnir:  Quiet down!  Some of us are trying to read and your silly labor pain noise is extremely distracting!  Stop being so selfish!
Hel:  Sorry.
And a baby girl was born...



Hel:  Ugh.  A pink girl, but not a fairy.  I have no use for this one.  And I already gave her a cool name:  Brynhildr, like the Valkerie.  I'm going to go pass this burden on to Midy.
But as Hel put the first baby in the crib, a second arrived...



Hel:  A pink girl...and sparkles!!  She's a fairy!



Hel:  You are the child I...can tolerate!  I will name you Sigrun, like the Valkerie.
And so, we have two soldiers for Loki's army and one of the four necessary babies to complete this challenge...and the odd scent of wet dog...



Fennie:  I would bathe, but my back's just so sore...

Yes, you totally nailed the outfit.  I found it as CC and thought it really fit for the queen of the realm of death, so I went with it.  Glad you're enjoying her.

Welcome Sigrun and the rest of Loki's army.  This is really hilarious.  Don't go too fast on getting the other three to fulfil the challenge Pippen, each new chapter just makes my day.  ;)

Yes, these girls make great sense to me!

Thanks.  I was surprised I stumbled upon that first one quite so quickly.

Well, I actually already had three more fairy guys ready to be the next few daddies as I expected it to take much longer to get this first one.  Of course, the household will now have five girls, so the open spots for babies has just decreased.  That in and of itself will prolong the challenge a bit  ;=)
