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

[PeregrineTook]

Congrats to Susie for the win and for taking good care of Quinn (and good luck too). Also, congratulations for the nooboo, it was so obvious that Quinn didn't care about the gender 

I love the way you are building their relationship.

Awww, thanks!  I am absolutely adoring Quinn and Susie together.  In fact, I had an issue with my game file and had to go back to an earlier save, so I got even more Quinn and Susie time!  No worries, I didn't lose all that much game time and going back to the backup save seemed to fix everything.  I'm keeping two active backups for this file throughout so I always have my back covered in case issues pop up.

In a tiny room that used to be a guest room and was now a nursery, we found a fledgling Flanagan.
Quinn:  Loving the alliteration there, narrator.



Susie:  I'm sorry, sweetie, you're loving what now?



Quinn:  My beautiful and amazing wife, of course.
Susie:  Right answer.
Pippin:  And after a very short time, said beautiful and amazing wife took the baby to the cake.



Quinn:  Lidell, you get to grow legs today!
Pippin:  Psh, theoretically there are legs inside the burrito wrap...I think...maybe?



Quinn:  Look, dear, she's a beautiful blonde.  Whoever would have guessed that?
Pippin:  (muttering)  I was kind of hoping for a redhead.
Susie:  What's that, Pippin?
Pippin:  I said...she's beautiful just like you, Susie.
Quinn:  Nice save!



Pippin:  And here is Susie being terrified of the claw.
Quinn:  Honey, isn't the baby supposed to be the one enjoying that game?
Susie:  But look!  It's coming right at me!
Pippin:  And because we're all just big, sappy, family-oriented people here, it's a family shot.



Quinn:  We are a darned attractive family.
Pippin:  And they were so attentive to young Liddell that they even hired a trained dog to come watch TV with her when they were busy.



Quinn:  That dog was not cheap, either!
Pippin:  And thanks to two very devoted parents, Liddell soon mastered her skills.



Susie:  Really, Pippin?  We're showing the potty shot?  Not walking or talking?
Pippin:  Well...I didn't get a shot with the point value for either of those, so...
Quinn:  Maybe we can hire that dog to be our new Watcher...?
Pippin:  Hey!



Quinn:  Can you say, "I'm tired of my Watcher's nonsense?"
Liddell:  Tired!  Tired!
Pippin:  That's adorable and insulting all at the same time.
Quinn:  Multitasking, my friend.  Multitasking.
Pippin:  And on the subject of accomplishing tasks, Susie was making a new friend...



Pippin:  and Quinn was becoming an old friend.



Quinn:  Curses!  I've gained a bad back and lost my sense of style.
Pippin:  I can help with the sense of style...



Quinn:  This is better.  Hope my wife isn't too disappointed, though.
Pippin:  Don't worry, she's also aging up soon.



Susie:  Yes, but only to adult, so you're still my old man.
Quinn:  Lovely.
Susie:  Yes.  Yes I am!
Pippin:  And our household continues with excellent parenting and the throwing of parties.  Including costume parties.



Susie:  Well, husband, I notice you focusing on our daughter and not eye-balling the lovely repairperson dressed as a cheerleader.
Quinn:  Yes ma'am.  That husband of the year award is in the bag!



Pippin:  And now that Teagan has seen that said repairperson wore the same outfit, she may put her in a bag.  A body bag.
Quinn:  Birthday party time!



Pippin:  Yes.  Happier thoughts!  Strangely, you two never actually throw parties for birthdays, but throw them for no reason at all all the time.
Susie:  We like to be unpredictable.



Pippin:  And Liddell ages up to be quite a lovely child.
Susie:  Okay, that was predictable.



Liddell:  Predictable and stylish.
Quinn:  That's my girl!

[LivvieLove]

Oh that's too funny, "Husband of the year award in the bag!" Hahaha!
I know I say this often, but I really mean it when I say I laugh at your updates all the time! They always brighten my day! I'm not sure how you manage to have such a great sense of humor, Pip, but it's fantastic!

Lidell is gorgeous - especially after she grows some legs. I can't wait to see her as a teen!

[oshizu]

Another delightful update! *claps in joy
I was surprised that Quinn became elderly so quick, because I hadn't been aware he begins as an adult.
No problem--he looks fetching in the striped bathrobe that matches the room (I see the entire house has striped wallpaper, hehe). Fetch what?
Susie looks hawt as a mermaid! Not surprisingly, Liddell is lovely both as a toddler and a teen.

Tut tut, Pippin, you have eight generations of potential redheads to spawn! Is rasberry girl her future ... (I don't know what you call your child's mother-in law).
More please, Pippin, moooorrre!

[Nettlejuice]

Liddell is gorgeous, of course she is with Quinn and Susie as her parents That poor repairperson!

[peachjam]

Liddell is the cutest! I LOVE her style and I'm looking forward to seeing her personality now that she's older. Susie is so lovely when she isn't a werewolf, lol.

I'm so glad my updates bring a smile to your face! 
Lidell is, indeed, quite a little beauty.

More will be coming before too long, fear not!
I was also surprised that Quinn starts as an adult, but it just means I got to do an awesome makeover on him  :=)

Liddell is gorgeous, of course she is with Quinn and Susie as her parents That poor repairperson!

That repairperson is just a touch obsessed with Quinn, actually.  She's popped the little, "hey, you're attractive," heart interaction a few different times.  She on a completely different lot with no member of my household interacting with her one of the times!

Liddell is the cutest! I LOVE her style and I'm looking forward to seeing her personality now that she's older. Susie is so lovely when she isn't a werewolf, lol.

Liddell is great!  She's a fashion icon unto herself  :=)
Agreed,non-wolf Susie is a beauty!

[KRae]

Thanks for imbedding the idea of legless nooboos in my brain - even lovely, pale teal legless nooboos.

And Dragon Valley's school system now has embraced a new student upon whose small shoulders rests the hopes of an entire dynasty.
Susie:  Wow, no pressure there, narrator.  I'll just be out here practicing magic if you need me, dear!



Liddell:  That's okay, mom.  You're really allowed to go home if you want.
Pippin:  And eventually she did head home to spend some quality time with her old man.



Quinn:  Okay, Pippin, that's enough with the old jokes.
Pippin:  Sorry, are they getting old?
Quinn:  ...seriously?
Pippin:  And Liddell handles important heir-related things.



Liddell:  So, I'll pretty much never need to sleep thanks to mom getting a motive mobile.  The downside?  More time for chores. 
Pippin:  But on the bright side, her mom helps her with the homework.



Liddell:  Mom, you know I'm a genius and actually understand this better than you, right?
Susie:  Well, sure, I just thought you might get lonely.
Liddell:  Oh.  Well thanks then.
Susie:  I'll also help you find spouse options!
Liddell:  Umm, I'm a child...?



Pippin:  The Mithrilen house is quite nice, and they have a child-aged son.



Liddell:  Hi.  So, is your dad always all...furry...like that?
Roland:  Yeah, pretty much.
Pippin:  Meantime, the teenaged Mithrilen son decided to bore poor Susie to death.



Roland:  Umm, your mom kind of collapsed and her eyes are all glazed over...?
Liddell:  Yeah.  Wanna play tag?!?
Roland:  Sure!!



Pippin:  Umm, don't worry, kids, I'm sure Susie will be fine.



Pippin:  And after her recovery, the family went to a party at Bradan's.  Of course he's having a swimwear party.



Liddell:  Barkeep, make it a Kool-Aid, and keep 'em coming!
Pippin:  What a rough life you have, little one.
Liddell:  No, not really.  I just like Kool-Aid.
Pippin:  But shortly thereafter, her life did get harder.



Liddell:  Is this a horror movie?
Susie:  Oh.  Oops.
Pippin:  Okay, not much harder.  Though she was tutored in the snow.



Liddell:  Again, I really don't need the help.
Susie:  But look at my new formalwear!  Isn't it divine?
Liddell:  Sure, mom.



Pippin:  Well, at least Quinn appreciated it.
Quinn:  Well, your husband is a lucky and immensely handsome man, young lady.
Susie:  Indeed, but since he's not here, I guess you'll have to do.
Pippin:  And while young Liddell continued to do important heir things...



Susie:  You missed a spot there, sweetie!
Liddell:  You're not even looking!  How do you do that?
Susie:  Magic, sweetie, magic.
Pippin:  And with that great moment of parenting, we bid adieu to the Flanagan household.

Homework in the snow? I'm surprised they didn't freeze to death  I can't help but notice all the rippling muscles during the party, oh Sims 3 I do miss playing it. The contest for Liddell's future hubby has already started!

[KRae]

Yes, the muscles were impossible to miss. I volunteered at my kids' schools - a lot. I was not scoping out spouses though.

[LivvieLove]

Liddell is adorable - though that's no surprise given her parents.
I must say I love Susie's method of parenting - especially the collapsing on the floor. Teaching those children empathy, of course.

Are the Mithrilen's your top choice right now for spouse for our dear Liddell?

They had just gotten home from school when I clicked for Susie to help Liddell with her homework and I foolishly expected them to head inside.  Crazy Sims!

I found it rather amusing that local braggadocio Bradan wanted to show off his abs at his own party.  I nearly picked him as founder just for the self-absorbed personality being fun to write  :=)

I don't have a specific spouse/household in mind for Liddell, but I'm trying to make sure she has all the connections in place for whenever that time comes around.  Gotta keep the options open  ;=)

[oshizu]

Quinn:  Well, your husband is a lucky and immensely handsome man, young lady.
Susie:  Indeed, but since he's not here, I guess you'll have to do.

Hahahaha!!!

Once you've finished enthralling us with your DecaDynasty, please pick Bradan for your next challenge! Please!!!

@KRae  When you mention volunteering at the school, I hope you are talking about Sims and not real life. 

At Bradan's swimwear party, I spent some time looking at the blond guy gazing at the barkeep/Susie and wondering what his thought bubble expressed.

If you want to keep Liddell's options open, does that mean you are going to share with us your exploration of the local talent?
Your dialogue is always so witty--love it!

[KRae]

@oshizu , I did volunteer at my kids' school all the time - talent shows, building haunted house, helping kids who had trouble with reading. I just didn't scope out spouses. My kids are 41 and 33 and never married...hmm.
