A Decade Through Time: The Alderberg Legacy: Year 1614

I finally finished writing year 1614! It’s getting harder to write these updates 😅

From the Beginning I Currently

It had been a stormy night in 1614 when young Stephen , the firstborn of Garitt and Avigail Friswell, married Jenefer Isley at the age of 17 and 15 years old. 

Lady Jenefer Isley was the daughter of a minor noble , who owned land scattered around the SimEngland. 

It was a union that made Garitt very happy and he hopes by the end of the year , he would be a proud grandfather. 

By the end of the 1st quarter , Hannah Wolfeden , the youngest daughter of Myles and Catherine, turned 13. It was a quite affair

By the 2nd quarter of the year , Marion and Galwell’s relationship bloomed like flowers in spring. They had secretly courted one and other for little over a year now.

Perhaps not so secretly , as village folk would see them together , whispering of young love and scandalous youths. Although shy , Marion felt brave with her gallant Galwell by her side and did not care about the meddling. 

When Griffyn was asked for Marions hand in marriage , Marion felt a pang in her heart as her beloved father had a stone face when Galwell poured his heart in-front of him, only to be relieved when he agreed to the betrothal, but that they needed to wait for Marion’s 17th birthday. 

Meanwhile at the Crawford tailor shop , little Ruth aged up to a beautiful toddler. She had her fathers hair and eyes, and was the apple of her mothers eyes. 

Jane knew how disappointing Rodger had no son yet , but she also knew that he wouldn’t trade Ruth or Agatha for one either. Children were blessings of the watcher and they love them equally,  Jane would often quote to him. 

6 months after their betrothal was approved by her father , Marion Alderberg and Galwell Marston joined hands in holy matrimony at the struck of midnight, just 3 months shy from her 17th birthday, witnessed by Marions entire family. 

The father of the bride was very quite during the wedding. It was not because he was unhappy for his beloved daughter to marry a man she loved , it was because he realized that his children were growing up. That he was growing old , as he had surpassed the death-dates of his mother and father by 3 and 7 years , but how long will it last? Will he be able to see Caleb , Lucy , James and even little Piers getting married? It was hard to say , the watcher’s dice were as cruel as they were benevolent. 

In the end , it wouldn’t matter , for time will always continue forward and never backwards, for youngsters like Marion and Galwell time was irrelevant as long , as they are together. 

9 months after their wedding night , Jenefer went into labor. To the shock of everyone involved in the deliver that it was not just one but two baby boys. 

Garitt was frilled over the birth of Septimus and Shadrick. For years it had just been him , Stephen and Theodora in this big house , and to have new little ones under his roof made his heart swell with  joy. 

Yet unknown to them , the twins would be the only children born out of Stephen and Jenefer’s marriage... 

Sadly , with life , death will always be lurking somewhere...

By the end of 1614,  Catherine Wolfeden , the daughter of Anne and her 1st husband John , past away from conditions of the heart at age 40, dying in her childhood home surrounded by close family.  

It was decided that Hannah and Silas would be staying in their grandmothers home alongside her family. “Uncle” Geoff and “Aunt” Parnell were also willing to look out for the younger Wolfeden children , in case of Anne and Mark’s foreseeable passing, knowing that Jane was a mother now and that Beatrice had other responsibilities. 

I love the name Shadrick lol. The gen 5 kids has the best names so far XD.

A Decade Through Time: The Alderberg Legacy: Year 1612

It’s been almost a month since the last update , so here another one! Mostly a side house update though. 

From the Beginning I Currently

It was a rainy , dreary day in 1612 when the 18 year old Jane Wolfeden went out to the tailor shop by the orders of her mistress to pick up a new dress she had been commissioning. 

It had been many years since the former tailor , Isaac Stanwix , owned the shop and it was now in the hands of a handsome 21 year old man named Rodger Crawford. 

However , it didn't take long before Jane and Rodger started to see one and other , although secretly at first. 

She didn’t wish for Widow Dagworth to know about their little romance , she was scared to lose her job and housing if she knew that she been seeing the tailor on her days off. 

But it didn’t take long until Rodger asked for her hand in marriage , which she accepted in heartbeat. 

This was chance of a better life for Jane , hopefully filled with stability ,safety and love. 

The same can’t be said for Philips household... 

By the time she was 6 years old , little Philippa Alderberg knew that her parents were unhappy together. 

They had always something to argue about- laundry not being done , food being uncooked , not having enough coin for the month... Philippa was thankful to the watcher that they at least didn’t argue about her that often.

Her father adored her , in his own weird way. He was nice yet overprotective , wanting her to stay home or go with him to the market to sell whatever they had made that winter. He would have outbursts if he didn’t know where she was. It was exhausting. 

It’s like he didn’t trust her mother , although Emma was also very loving , yet not as smothering as her father. She let her go out on her own and play with other children.

If  Philippa was to be honest to the watcher , she preferred her mother to her father but she would never say those words out-loud as she didn’t want the watcher’s dice to have any ill intent. 

By the end of the 1st quarter of the year , the Calott’s had a nice , peaceful night after a long days of treating the ill. 

Ursula Calott , now 30 years old,  had put her daughter Hester to bed for the night. 

It was at night Ursula and Magdalene could breathe at easy and enjoy one and others company without worry. They been together for 10 years now and hope that they will continue to be by each other sides for many more.

3 months later , at the Kellogg Farm , Geoffrey and Parnell Mildmay welcomed their 3rd child: A little baby girl. 

Avery , now 2 years old , was very curious over the small babe in swaddle. He took in everything about Christiana, that she was tiny and very sleepy , that when she cried she was hungry. A very smart lad they had , his parents agreed. 

3 months after Christiana’s birth and Avery’s second birthday , Silas Wolfeden aged up to a toddler as well.

Silas and Avery were very close in age , and the 1st cousins were more like brothers then anything else.It was a good thing , as the boys needed the company. 

The Wolfeden girls were too old to play with their baby brother and Christiana was “too little” to play with for Avery. The family hopes that the boys will continue to be good friends. 

It has been 6 months since Jane and Rodger’s wedding , and the couple finally got the confirmation that she was expecting their first child together. 

Rodger was very happy and wished for a son , so did Jane, although jokingly said that boys were rare in her family- it took her mother and father 17 years to have a son after all. 

At beginning of the 4th quarter of 1612 ,  Barbara Horthall had arranged a meeting for her oldest son , Jasper , with a sorted someone. 

Tieica Brokhil was the daughter of a dear childhood friend of Barbara's , and the one she been eyeing for her son to marry since Tiecia became a young lady.  

Jasper liked Tiecia , she was a fun and loving lady who adored dogs and silly games. A good heart and light head.

When Tieica first kissed him after giving her yellow blooms, Jasper knew that he would fall in love with her.

If he already was not by the time wedding bells ring for their union. A much happier couple then that of Abel & Barbara... 

Shortly after Jasper Horthalls marriage to Tiecia Brokhil , Jane Crawford went into labor. 

Jane had the support of having her mother , her grandmother and younger sisters , as she was scared of giving birth alone. 

Just like her mother and grandmother before her, Jane’s first child was a daughter- Ruth Crawford. Although she knew Rodger wished for a son , she was happy and content to hold her baby girl close to her. Besides , they will be able to have more children, one surely has to be a boy. 

Across the green hills and dales of Outland , a young man was running with a sprint in his step. It was no other then Caleb Alderberg , Griffyn’s eldest son with his 1st wife.  The now 13 year old boy was a handsome man , inheriting most of his features from his dear departed mother. 

Caleb was a very stern boy: He didn’t show much of his thoughts or feeling other then grumpiness , but he was not unfeeling. He liked beauty and could easily find it in the world around him with its flora and fauna. 

The attic room has become his sanctuary , there he would write and draw from memory of the things he saw and discovered from his adventures. He was good with the quill and words for a man who never said much. 

Meanwhile at the Friswell house , the now 40 year old Garitt had exciting news to share with his oldest son - that he has now found a betroth for him to wed in 2 years time. 

The 15 year old Stephen didn’t share his fathers enthusiasm, for he did not wish to marry at 17, that was way too young for his taste.

 But his father insisted that Lady Isley would make a lovely bride and mother to his children and that it was something his mother would have approved of. 

If your wondering about why Philippa is referring to the watcher and the dice so much , its because she has the never nude trait = pious/religious. I think if a sims has supernatural skeptic they will also be religious , but so far only 1 has that trait. 

Next update we will spend more time with the main family.

[anxiously-sidequesting]

I think I've already said this once before but I really wish there was a feature in Wizard101 where important events, lore, and dialogue in the game were documented somewhere so we can view them whenever we want. like unless we video record the events while it happens, take pictures, or just go through the whole entire fucking plot with another wizard character there's no way to ever revisit those moments and that SUCKS??????? like wizard101 has some of the best lore ive ever seen and I don't wanna have to level up my wizard all the way to level 100 just to see that iconic grandfather spider scene or grind through azteca just to find that one epic fourth wall breaking moment 💀 i want to revisit all the incredible and funny and weird shit we've all gone through Immediately. Like damn remodel the library so that it actually keeps records and dated films of the things we've gone through so it can actually be useful instead of it being Just A Building (rants about this for so long that even Jesus smacks His lips)

#remember that azteca moment? where the wizard is like carrying a huge chunk of boulder or smth and the narrator legit goes- #''why the fuck are we doing this. we're famous for fucks sake we got shit to do'' #and literally i could watch old cob going through his arc with us and his kids and grandmother raven alllllll day please. #''i can be as petty and absurd as i want.'' CAN I WATCH THAT MOMENT 15 MORE TIMES PLS THANKS #also the fact that theres so much lore and it spanned out for more than a decade?? theres a lot of shit to take in and 90% of it i forgot #itd be really useful for fanfics and stuff too #and even ive gotten some things wrong on this blog with my posts just because i FORGOT or misremembered the shit that actually happened LMAO #sorry for repeating myaelf but like. this needs to be a thing by yesterday #wizard101 #w101 #wiz101 #text posts

Dean should bury his face in Cas’ chest more often and maybe then he’d calm down

#listening to his heartbeat through the soft worn cotton of a hand me down tshirt #falling alseep to the rythmic rise and fall of his breathing #feeling safe and sheltered and loved #for the first time in decades #Cas’ fingers absentmindedly tracing patterns on his back #no I’m not projecting shut up why would you think that #I just think it would be neat #:’) #txt

[sabines-wrens]

can’t stop thinking about what a wildly fascinating dynamic din djarin and sabine wren could have 

yes there’s the whole shared experience of having the darksaber and complicated family/clan history but consider also

sabine, literally vibrating: let me paint your armor please - 

din, looking at her armor: absolutely the fuck not

#sabine wren #din djarin #the mandalorian #star wars rebels #din: it physically hurts to look at you #sabine: you're a literal walking disco ball #she's plotting to drop a bucket of paint on his head next time he walks through the door #they're what within a decade of age?? #getting big adopted siblings vibes #text tag #she speaks

Continuing the "I can't believe I never posted this here" series, back in early 2017 my default baby gift was crocheted baby converse and I've always liked making monsters, which led to this photo that I think looks like a very dramatic start to a quest

#crochet #handmade #monster plushie #crocheted baby converse #I've been making plushies out of one medium or another for ten years #and the entire time I've liked making monsters #I find that more than a little funny #like. there is no other consistency across that decade #well okay there are a few consistencies #I like bright colors and I like making monsters #okay and I like giving gifts to babies #other than that I go through crafting trends #right now is beads! #before that was quilting #next is probably floppy quadrupeds #things change but monsters are my constant craft theme lol
