The Flanagan Decadynasty--The Final Update (Please Graveyard)

[oshizu]

Wait, the only thing Quinn wanted to accomplish was "take a shower"? I'm obviously missing something.

Lurve Sean's pink hair! How have you decided who the pollinators would approach? Is it more serendipity than the result of strategic planning?
Awww poor Ossian!!! Would you be permitted to go into Build mode and move one of the beds before she started actually dying?
Nice longjohns, Ossian!

Oooh, looking foward to the nooboos! Sean and Ossian, work harder!

[KRae]

There are more things to do in a shower than get clean.

@KRae
Your thought had crossed my mind, but it seemed odd that Susie would be standing outside the shower, fully dressed, just...uh...looking at his mosaic.

[LivvieLove]

Yay for pollinators!

Poor Lidell; "I was just trying to look at boys!"
"Sure thing, dear."
"Honest!!"

I love the dear Quinn... but he's aging so quickly. I'll miss him. I hope he doesn't go too soon.

[PeregrineTook]

Probably how I'll go.

Death by routing issues?  I think that will probably be the end for all of us.

Oh no! They would have made some cute nooboos, darn routing issues. Since when is spouse hunting a crime? 

Right?  Darned police Sims, always doing their jobs and stuff.  I was apparently a few minutes early for the curfew restrictions, dang it.

Yes, the shower was not about cleanliness  ;=)
My approach in finding pollinators was, "Who does Susie know who is on a color slider and/or has neat colored hair and/or cool genes and isn't Mason and therefore related to the family?"
Going into build mode would have been an illegal move.  Going for HoF!

Susie just hadn't joined him yet at that point.  I just thought it nicely showed how eager he was to get there.

Yeah, the departure of Quinn was a sad thing I started preparing myself for as soon as the dynasty began. 
The pollinators have been fun.  Not gonna lie.

[PeregrineTook]

And with his (next) one true love lost to him, Ossian left the Flanagan household, but at least he could find solace in knowing he had contributed his genes to the potential future spouse pool



Sean:  Hey look, Ossian got that girl pregnant.  Oh, and there's my pregnant wife.  Oh...and here comes my mistress, Siobhan.
Pippin:  Wow, how are you going to handle this scenario?



Sean:  Full retreat!!!
Pippin:  (sigh)  But back at the household, there was some great news!



Susie:  Quinn!  We're going to have another baby!



Pippin:  Whoa!  Curb your enthusiasm there, big guy!
Quinn:  Pretty sure a calm thumbs up is the most enthusiastic response possible.
Pippin:  Eh, you're probably right.  And here's Liddell in her jammies just getting up from bed.



Liddell:  Another excuse to show off an outfit before aging up?
Pippin:  Yes, but it's also a transition.  She gets out of bed as these two get into bed...again.



Pippin:  And Sean gets into bed with his wife as well.



Sean:  I'm an attentive fellow.
Pippin:  Well, it's just a good thing that you're sleeping with your boss, or I think you'd have been fired by now.
Sean:  See?  Attentive to details.  Attentive fellow.  Me.
Pippin:  Particularly attentive in that getting into bed with Ava happened immediately after you returned home from taking her to the hospital to give birth to your daughter.



Sean:  Yep.  Took her to the hospital.  Attentive.
Pippin:  And then you invited a pregnant Siobhan over for some TV time.



Sean:  Kids channel!  Multiple births!  See?  Attentive.
Pippin:  And in the meantime, Susie was being attentive to other things.



Susie:  ...so anyway, that's the basic job of a pollinator.  Are you in?
Liam:  Sure!  I just need to take care of one little detail.



Pippin:  Did he just text-dump his boyfriend?
Liam:  ...maybe...
Pippin:  Which frees up that werewolf Nightcrawler look-a-like for future generations.  Excellent!
Susie:  See?  Attentive.
Sean:  That's my line!



Nora:  Hi, I'm Nora.
Liam:  I'm a pollinator...I mean...I'm Liam.
Nora:  Nice subtlety there.
Liam:  Sorry.



Pippin:  Thankfully, she found his awkwardness cute.  Of course, I'm largely thankful because she's a redhead who looks like a rainbow slider version of Sansa Stark!
Susie:  Pippin, you're such a romantic.



Pippin:  Ugh, looks like Quinn gave him courtship pointers.
Quinn:  You're welcome!



Pippin:  Huh, it worked.  Well, nooboos on the way.
Susie:  Yes!  Nooboos on the way!!  Over here!!
Sean:  Be attentive, Pippin!



Pippin:  And the Flanagan household is pleased to introduce a pair of precious purple beauties:  Alice and Lenore.

[oshizu]

Congratulations on all the recent births!
A special high five to Quinn and Susie on the birth of purple twins!

I hope you will share shots of all the lovely nooboos in a future update!

Also, after reading your HoF comment, I went and read the rules for a Decadynasty!  Wooowww!
It sounds impossibly complicated and involved, but I'm confident of your witty success!

[stellybelly]

I bet that the twins will be adorable and I love that they are purple!

Stella

[LivvieLove]

Oh what gorgeous purple babies!

I love how attentive you are to everything Pip! You're just so good at watching these Sims and being... attentive.

I love Sean and Susie's parts in this, and I can't wait to see the fruits of all your pollination efforts! =) Hopefully the lines can stay going strong!

[Nettlejuice]

*gasp* Treat Sansa well or else! At least this time you have a mermaid(man) in the household and hopefully routing issue deaths don't occur again.

[PeregrineTook]

In the Flanagan household, the heiress woke up knowing something special was happening that day.



Liddell:  Umm, is it possible that my bed has become insubstantial and I'm standing in it?
Pippin: Nope.  It's your birthday!



Pippin:  What are you wishing for?
Liddell: Wishing?  No, I'm just posing for the picture.
Pippin:  Oh.  Well...thanks then!



Pippin:  I'm not lyin', witch, get to the wardrobe!
Liddell:  Nice.



Liddell:  These are my new jammies.  I'll probably never wear them again since I have a motive mobile and a skill to supermax and a job to max and friends and besties to make.
Pippin:  What a healthy outlook on life you have!  Meantime, someone else also aged up...



Pippin:  Nice, flattering pose!
Susie:  Respect your elders, Pippin!



Susie:  See?  Elder.  Can I please have a wardrobe change now?
Quinn:  And in influx of fashion, please?
Pippin:  I can make that happen.
Sean:  And I can make a healthy family dynamic happen!



Sean:  Hello, daughter!
Daughter:  You don't actually know my name, do you?
Sean:  I'm wanting to say...Steve?  Stanley?  Wilfred!  No?
Pippin:  Fortunately, there were some females who got more attention from Sean.



Sean:  What a lovely son we've had.  Let's celebrate!
Siobhan:  Maybe you could leave your wife and marry me now?
Sean:  Pretty sure you want to celebrate (uses Jedi mind trick).
Siobhan:  Yeah!  Let's celebrate!



Pippin:  They did.  Several times.  But we're going to focus on another celebration right now.



Pippin:  Birthdays for the nooboos!  First up to the cake is Alice...



Pippin:  Followed by Lenore.



Pippin:  And they actually shared this birthday with Liddell, incidentally.



Pippin:  And after celebrating the birthdays, Liddell began traveling via motive mobile back and forth from the library to the Flanagan household whenever her needs dropped and spending the rest of the time writing!



Liddell:  This is so exciting.



Liddell:  And here's another action shot for you.
Pippin:  Less sarcasm from you!  Though you're right.  These are kind of boring shots.
Susie:  Good thing she's so pretty!
Quinn  And fashionable!
Pippin:  And Sean finally got caught with both of his "lady friends" outside the theater.



Pippin:  They got along great, but he kind of hated himself.
Sean:  How did I not realize they would both be here?  That's so unattentive!
Pippin:  But more babies were on the way!



Liam:  I'm so happy!
Nora:  Are you off to pollinate elsewhere now?
Liam:  No.  I just want to be with you.
Pippin:  Well, that's fine, but you can't move in so she'll have more room in the household for babies (fingers crossed that one is a Nora clone).
Liam:  Deal!

[LivvieLove]

Oh, Liddell is so pretty! I love this household so much!
Is it just me though, or is Quinn living a very, very long time?
I'm not complaining AT ALL... just an observation of mine.

Good luck with all the requirements for the move! I've never attempted a DecaDynasty before, so I can't imagine how difficult it might be.

[oshizu]

I love Liam's tight snakeskin pants with the flesh-revealing lace-up sides, lol. Whose fashion decision was that!?

Liddell is lovely! What a surprise that Susie became an elder!
Does Liddell having siblings make the Decadynasty requirements easier to satisfy?

Great to see the pollinators doing their jobs so enthusiastically! Crossing my fingers for some redheaded daughters!

Quinn does end up being a very long-lived Sim (in real-time, I'm into generation 2 and Quinn has passed).
I've actually failed at Decas more times than I care to admit, so fingers crossed that tis is the magic attempt that somehow succeeds!

The fashion statements made by Liam are exactly what he came with.  I changed absolutely nothing (and simply shook my head and laughed along with the rest of you at the snakeskin tights).
The siblings were more just because I thought Susie and Quinn had glorious genes, so I wanted more babies from them  :=)
You'll see random pollination results in future updates  ;=)

[PeregrineTook]

Fatherhood is a glorious thing which cannot be described by mere words.

Sean:  Hey, hot stuff, wanna go have another baby?



Pippin:  Way to ruin the narration, Sean.  Of course, his cheating and poor reputation seems to have gotten in the way of his relationship with his young daughter, Lisette.



Lisette:  You're a jerk, Dad!
Sean:  That's no way to talk to your father, Stanley!
Lisette:  My name's not Stanley!
Pippin:  Fortunately, nothing is getting in the way of Liam's relationship with Fiona.



Pippin:  Well, nothing except for her sister, Morrigan.
Morrigan:  All the kisses are for me!
Pippin:  Meantime, Liddell keeps writing.



Liddell:  I'm so exciting.
Pippin:  And when she's not doing that, she's chatting up potential spouses.



Liddell:  Eh, I guess you're passably attractive.
Lawless Kid:  Yeah, I suppose I am.  I work out, you know?
Liddell:  Sorry, what?  I stopped paying attention to you after you said, "yeah."
Pippin:  And Fiona went into labor.



Liam:  Oh my Watcher!  Someone's at the door!
The Rest:  You're right!  Someone is at the door!
Fiona:  Umm, having a baby here...
Pippin:  And elsewhere, little Alice and Lenore were learning their skills.



Susie:  ...and keep your name out of the tabloids, dear.  That will just reflect badly on our family name and the dynasty.
Pippin:  That's just good parenting right there!  And meantime, Liddell chats up another potential spouse.



Potential Spouse:  ...so, yeah, I think that's basically why I would be a fantastic fit in the military.
Liddell:  Oh.  I'm sorry.  I wasn't actually listening.  Your purple hair is really cool, though.
Pippin:  And in other news, Liddell's formal wear is really awesome!



Liddell:  It's so true!
Pippin:  And while that was happening, a 100 day old Quinn maxed the journalism career.



Quinn:  Why did we never make my work outfit more fashionable?
Pippin:  ...good question...meantime, more baby-making was happening.



Pippin:  And Liddell invested more time into practicing her magic.



Liddell:  I'm guessing we're killing time while we wait for another BlackOp?
Pippin:  ...maybe...but look at what an awesome picture this made!
Liddell:  If we're hurting that much for BlackOps, why don't I just travel abroad and do a few odd jobs?
Pippin:  Because...hmmm...that's actually a really good idea.
