Pleasantview - Burb: Prologue #4
Tumblr media
Jennifer got to the coffee shop exactly on time, and nervously looked around for Melissa.
15 minutes went by, and still no sign of her new friend.
Where are they? She wouldn't ask me to meet here if she wasn't coming, right?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
30 minutes went by, and Jennifer was still alone in the coffee shop.
And then she heard them.
"Hey! Nice dress. Sorry I'm late. My photoshoot went over."
Jennifer giggled. "No worries. Can I buy you a cup of coffee?"
She felt so happy to be with Melissa again, that the stress of having to wait an extra 30 minutes to see her friend dissipated.
Tumblr media
"Aren't you gonna have coffee?"
Jennifer shrugged, "If I have coffee after 12pm, then I'll be a ball of anxiety all night long."
Melissa chuckled, "Seems like you're a ball of anxiety most of the time."
Tumblr media
"Excuse me—"
She couldn't argue with them, though. She truly was anxious most of the time. If it weren't for her anxiety and fear of failure, Jennifer would never get anything done.
Tumblr media
"Let's change the subject, please!" Jennifer giggled. She didn't usually giggle this much. Normally, she was pretty straight-laced. I suppose Melissa brings out a more fun side of me...
"Alright," said Melissa, "What brings you to Pleasantview?"
Jennifer took a deep breath. How was she supposed to explain her and John's five-year plan that she was only halfheartedly following along with because she didn't know what else to do with herself?
How could she tell someone who was nearly a stranger that she had hoped that moving here would make her into the person she always wanted to be, but that turned out to be a stupid pipe dream?
Tumblr media
But before she had to answer, a random person sat down right next to her and Melissa. Even though they saved Jennifer the awkwardness of having to answer that question, she still felt annoyed that someone else was intruding on her time with Melissa.
"Hey, I just wanted to say that you and your girlfriend are really cute together. And uh—if you're ever looking for a unicorn, feel free to hit me up."
"Excuse me??" Jennifer was completely shocked. "We're not—I mean—I—I'm married!"
"Oh, sorry, I didn't notice your ring. Okay, so you and your wife—"
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom," said Melissa, and disappeared in an instant.
Tumblr media
As soon as Melissa stood up, Angela sat down in her place.
"Hi, Aunt Jennifer. Didn't expect to see you here."
"Oh, Watchers," thought Jennifer, "now my niece has to witness my public embarrassment..."
"What's your name?" she asked the intrusive stranger.
"Tina."
"Tina. Meet my niece, Angela."
Tumblr media
Finally, Melissa came back from the bathroom, and Jennifer could politely escape that awkward situation.
"Wanna get outta here? There's a cool jewelry store nearby."
Tumblr media
The jewelry store was much more relaxing than the chaotic coffee shop. This place was more up Jennifer's alley. She browsed the entire shop until the sun went down, chatting with Melissa the entire time.
Melissa was so easy to talk to. Jennifer felt like she had known them for ages, which was strange, because she had always thought of herself as a pretty guarded person.
Finally, Jennifer settled on a classic pair of small gold hoop earrings.
Tumblr media
"Those earrings are so beautiful on you. You look gorgeous."
Jennifer blushed. The entire time they were in the jewelry store, she kept thinking about how Tina had assumed they were partners.
What if we were...?
Tumblr media
She was grateful when Melissa offered to walk her to her car, as it was late and the parking lot was almost empty.
She was also slightly embarrassed of her "soccer mom" van that John had convinced her to buy when they first got married. He wanted to fill it up with kids, but she still didn't know if she could give him that.
"Well—" Melissa interrupted her reverie.
She grabbed Jennifer's hand, and once again, Jennifer was shocked by how soft her skin felt.
"I know you're married and everything, but I would regret it forever if I didn't try this—"
Tumblr media
Jennifer couldn't believe what was happening—Melissa kissed her and she kissed them back, and now they were making out in front of her van like a couple of teenagers. Kissing her felt so...right, in a way that kissing men never did.
Jennifer felt as though a hidden door in her heart had been opened, and she was simultaneously amazed and terrified.

Recap: Pleasantview Round 5 (Summer)
Tumblr media
The romance of Spring certainly went to a few heads in Pleasantview - the suburb is in the midst of quite the baby boom. But now Summer is here, and school is out! Parents are scrambling to sort out childcare, teenagers are reveling in their freedom, and with the sun shining, the mood in the neighbourhood is pretty great.
But are the families as happy as they seem? Or are some on the brink of collapse? What secrets lurk in their hearts?
Tumblr media
The round began with newcomers Tiffany Sampson and Kevin Beare getting settled in. They adopted a puppy, got new jobs, and got to know the neighbours.
Tumblr media
Then as Tiffany finished her first day of work in the Education career, she learned she was already pregnant!
Tumblr media
They had a quick, slightly rushed wedding before the baby arrived.
Tumblr media
Baby Harvey was born, but it already looks like she might be expecting again.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The round ended on a happy note, with the couple already nicely established as a family in town with a few friends!
Tumblr media
The Dreamer family started out just as well, but things quickly started to deteriorate.
Tumblr media
Due to a combination of bad mental health, recurring nightmares and possible haunting, Brandi Broke isn’t in a good place. Her relationship with Darren suffers for it, too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Meanwhile Cassandra’s marriage with Don is falling apart, and Darren can’t help being sympathetic. Perhaps a little too much so.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mia Broke, obsessed with the paranormal, gets herself abducted by aliens, much to her mom’s dismay.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She’s also eager to discuss her theories about the spooky sounds in their yard, but Brandi shuts it down.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mia goes on a date with Benedick Monty, but it’s kind of a mixed bag.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Back home, Mia and Darren eventually talk about the possible hauntings at home. He admits to her seeing Darleen’s ghost, from time to time.
Tumblr media
Brandi also opens up to Mia about her father, Skip.
Tumblr media
And Mia is vindicated to finally some ghosts herself!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I played the Lotharios next since I was interested in what was going on with Cassandra.
Tumblr media
Cassandra and Don’s relationship has had its ups and downs - neither of them has been 100% faithful, but they’re dealing with it. Maybe? Between raising the twins and focusing on their careers there hasn’t been a ton of time for marriage counselling.
Tumblr media
Don’s been feeling a bit isolated, recently. Outside of his family and his coworkers, he doesn’t really have a lot of friends. That’s been deliberate, to an extent. The fewer people around him, the fewer temptations to stray outside of the marriage.
Tumblr media
For the most part, it’s been working. But a chance meeting with Nina Caliente has him feeling… confused.
Tumblr media
The kids are doing fine, the parents not so much.
Tumblr media
She’s always in low aspiration, lately, ever since her Dad passed away. It’s been hard getting on her feet since then, and Don going on about needing “me time” doesn’t help. She needs his support right now more than ever! Why doesn’t he get that?
Tumblr media
They don’t talk about it, but both of them are feeling very alone, and starting to lose faith in each other...
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, the boys age up. Bernado’s a popularity sim and Cassimiro’s knowledge.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eventually, things in the marriage finally explode and Cassandra tells Don about Darren, trying to get a rise out of him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Don immediately retaliates by woohooing with Sharon Wirth on a grocery-run.
Tumblr media
After a cool-off day, they agree to break things off, and Don moves out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He moves in, temporarily, with Bella. Who is insistant that he and Cassie try and patch things up!
Tumblr media
He’s more interested in exploring new options, though.
Tumblr media
Bella is devestated to lose her job as a party guest.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile Oliver Goth (Dina and Mortimer’s son) gets his first kiss with Ariel Capp! Later he goes on a date with Tommy Ottomas, too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At one of Bella’s parties, Cassandra and Don keep things civil, but Cassandra evidently isn’t doing well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bella goes on a date with Gilbert Jacquet. It’s not really all that serious between them, and Bella still misses Mortimer dreadfully, but Gilbert is charming and handsome enough to take her mind of her worries.
Tumblr media
Things with Bella and Don also seem to be getting a little heavy, and Don concludes he needs to move out before things cross a line. Bella reluctantly agrees, it’s obvious her plan to get him and Cassie back together hasn’t worked
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Don moves to Strangetown!
Tumblr media
Next up are the Ramaswami family, a nice breath of fresh air after all the drama.
Tumblr media
Priya befriends some of the other mothers in town, becoming especially close to Kaylynn.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And baby Ravi gows into maybe the coolest toddler ever?
Tumblr media
Sanjay survives a near death experience.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Priya finds out she’s expecting again!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Divorced once and with the girls having just graduated college, Daniel Pleasant didn’t expect to be engaged again with a kid on the way as he approached retirement age, doing it all over again. He’s far from unhappy about it, though. Mary Sue always had an independent streak, but Kaylynn adores him. Maybe it’s a bit selfish, but it feels so good to be needed.
Tumblr media
Kaylynn knows some people in the neighbourhood look down on her, think her naive, call her a homewrecker… that’s fine. If they worked as a cleaner for years and years maybe they’d consider packing it in and settling into an easy life, too. What’s wrong with wanting to be taken care of?
Notably (and much to my horror) during the Pleasant round, Brandi and John start up their affair again.
Tumblr media
Kaylynn finally gives birth, to a baby boy they call Jeffery Pleasant, after Daniel’s father. Daniel’s really pleased!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jennifer’s eager to meet her new nephew. She and Kaylynn get off to a rocky start, but eventually start to bond.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She’s closest friends with Brandi Broke, though. The two have become inseperable, with Brandi visiting all the time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Daniel invites both of the girls over to meet their little brother, but Angela is the only twin who shows. Whether that’s because they have a better relationship, or because Lilith was just busy is anyone’s guess.
Tumblr media
Then it turns out Kaylynn’s pregnant again already?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kaylynn and Daniel tie the knot!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nina and Don also reconcile at the wedding.
Tumblr media
Kaylynn gives birth to another baby boy, Luke!
Tumblr media
And Jeff ages upp!
Tumblr media
Daniel ages up, too. It’s finally time for him to retire, soon...
Tumblr media
Daniel’s definitely a bit of a dirty old man, but Kaylynn doesn’t seem entirely oblivious to that side of him, and figures as long as she keeps his needs met they should be fine. We’ll see if that holds up.
Tumblr media
Then it was time to catch up with the Shoreharts, who moved here form Widespot for a fresh start.
Tumblr media
A retired chef, Sandy’s enjoying her retirement a lot more than she ever enjoyed being a stay at home mom. Granted, all this free time has her a little restless, but it’s nothing a bit of time outdoors and excercise can’t fix. She hopes.
Tumblr media
They were honestly pretty chill! Rhett’s taken to the whole marriage thing suprisingly well, for a romance sim. Turns out, as long as he’s getting lovin’ on a regular basis he doesn’t really care if it’s with one woman or several. It’s never boring with Sandy, and he intends to keep her as happy as he can for the rest of her days. That’ll show her shit-heel of an ex-husband.
Tumblr media
Mostly they just spend a lot of time with family.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sandy’s very generious with the backrubs, but nothing goes too far.
Tumblr media
Mimi is definitely at least a little anxious about her parents’ marriage though, because she spends some of the round reading up on Couple’s Councelling.
Tumblr media
Then it’s time for her to age up! She grows into a rather cute romance sim.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then at the party the house of cards starts to crumble, as Sandy gives her ex-husband Hamilton a kiss, right in front of Mimi and Rocky.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mimi agrees not to tell her Dad, but isn’t happy. She spends a lot of time out of the house.
Tumblr media
With Sandy keeping her indescretion quiet, I’m not sure what they have in store in the future!
Tumblr media
Regardless, next are the Ramirez family.
Tumblr media
Tessa’s spent a lot of time looking afte rthe baby and she’s sick of it! So she spends some time Downtown with friends.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She later takes Bernardo on a date, although he’s not sure if he likes her as more than a friend. Bernardo likes the idea of falling in love with Tessa, who he’s always admired! But he’s a little hesitant at the same time, especially with his parents’ divorce still being so recent.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Checo has a bit of a wandering eye, but mostly he keeps himself in check.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Checo might be a bit of a flirt, but at least he’s not a hypocrite. When Lisa was dancing with Skye he didn’t even bat an eye. Or maybe he just doesn’t see an old man as much of a threat…
Tumblr media
Ugh, God, I forgot this happened
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Baby Sofia grew up super cute!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyway, that’s all from them!
Tumblr media
The Oldies weren’t too eventful, mostly just focused on hobbies!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They did finally meet Mary’Sue’s new partner, which went... poorly.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But they did have a nice meeting with their grandaughter later, and a fun night out!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then it was the Burbs! John’s recent indescretions with Brandi aside, things seemed to be going well.
Tumblr media
At least, until he made out with Coral Oldie :/
Tumblr media
Oblivious to thins, Jennifer was starting to trust John again.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They had dinner with Jen’s brother Dan and his new wife...
Tumblr media
And Jennifer discovered she was pregnant again!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lucy headed away for college...
Tumblr media
And baby James grew up, leaving the Burb round complete and Pleasantview all done & dusted!

Hey, can I get something with drunk Arthur trying to flirt with his wife (reader)? And he gets really sad when she says she's taken?
This turned out so cute! I need this in my life! 
Masterlist 
Read on AO3
Tumblr media
Party! That’s exactly what this camp needs right now. The past few weeks have been nothing short of hell. First the Blackwater heist fails and then being chased by Pinkertons and lawmen up to Colter where you and everyone else nearly froze to death. Losing Davey and Jenny along the way and still suspecting that Mac may have followed his brother out. Poor Sean, everyone thought he wouldn’t make it either. It was a good thing Trelawney was keeping an eye on things down in Blackwater. 
Uncle and Bill heave out the multiple boxes of beer and whiskey while Sean stands on the log used for chopping firewood and makes a speech about how everything will be better now that “Dead Eye MacGuire” is back. You giggle when he calls Arthur a grumpy old bastard and you put your hand on Arthur’s arm, knowing how sensitive he can be about things like this. 
Everyone’s happy for the excuse to drink and let loose, so everyone soon has a drink in hand. Karen, Javier and Uncle sit around the table, singing. Karen seems determined to get drunk before anyone else can, but Bill and Sean seem to be taking the challenge personally. You’re happy to begin drinking too, but then you see Arthur, downing possibly his second bottle of whiskey. 
“Take it easy, cowboy,” you say, patting his back. “You know how you are when you’re drunk.” 
“Hey, we’re supposed to be enjoyin’ ourselves, ain’t we?” he said. 
“Okay. But when you get a wicked hangover tomorrow, don’t tell me to stop you next time you try and get drunk.” You walk off and join Uncle, who has moved over to the fire. He, Bill, Javier and John begin singing “the ring dang doo”. You giggle, taking a swig of your own drink and join in. 
“Hey wait a second, sweetheart,” Arthur slurs, plopping down next to you on the log. He then joins in on the song. 
After the song, Dutch calls for something more civilized and turns on his gramophone, playing a classical piece. Since your butt has gone to sleep on the log, you stand up, grabbing Arthur’s hand, and ask him to dance with you. It’s obvious he’s already going a little deep on the drink, but he’s still sober enough to do so. He holds you tight against him, humming in your ear. You love it as he’s not often open about being physically affectionate with you in the camp. 
As the night progresses, Arthur gets steadily more and more drunk. You’re not doing too good yourself, but you know when to call it quits, so you do. You’re sat on the log again, trying to focus your eyes on the fire in front of you, but feeling a little weird. You haven’t seen Arthur in a while, not since before Karen took Sean into John’s tent. 
Someone sits down beside you. “Well ain’t you a pretty thing?” Arthur huffs in a rough and slurred voice. 
You giggle and look at him. “You always was sweet.” 
“How-” he lets out a soft burb, “how you know what I’m like? We ain’t… never met, have we?” 
Looking into Arthur’s bloodshot eyes, it hits you that he is beyond plastered. Oh boy. But since you’re pretty drunk yourself, you decide to play along with it. 
“Guess we ain’t. But you sure are handsome, mister.” 
“Ah, I’m an ugly ol’ bastard, ask… ask anyone who’s met me.” 
“I’ve met you and I don’t think so.” 
He smiles at you, his eyes crossing a bit. “And you’d be the first. Tell me, wha’s a cute thing like you doin’ out here alone? Y-you got a feller?” 
“Sure,” you say, taking a swig of whiskey, forgetting you’re trying to sober up. 
He looks at you as hard as he can through his bleary eyes. “Y-you do? Is it just for fun or…” 
“Nah, I’m married to him. He’s the best man I ever met.” 
Arthur huffs and looks at his feet. “I’ll bet he is. After all, I bet you’re the sweetest lady ‘tween California and Chicago.” 
You giggle again. “Mister, you’re makin’ me blush! Trust me, I ain’t that sweet.” 
He looks at you disbelievingly. He smiles a bit. “So tell me about this feller of yours?” 
“Oh he’s big, strong, handsome. Best rider and shooter I ever seen. Y’know, he taught me how to shoot a gun and ride a horse? Best teacher, too. I fell head over heels for him.” 
Arthur grumbles a bit. “Yeah, I’ll bet you did.” 
You don’t hear him and you go on. “He’s got these pretty blue eyes. I could stare into them for ages. They’re so pretty. And when he holds me…” you smile, thinking about how wonderful his arms feel wrapped around you. “Pure Heaven.” 
“That so? Bet I could do better!” His squinting eyes are on you again.
“Oh yeah? Why don’t you prove it then, mister?” 
Arthur’s eyes widen a bit, as he’s clearly taken aback. “Y-you serious? Your feller around?” 
“Oh yeah, he’s around, I doubt he’s sober enough to know what I’m doing though. Don’t worry, he won’t be mad.” 
“You was my girl, I’d be mad. Seein’ some big brute huggin’ my wife.” 
“Nah, like I said, he’s off dead drunk somewhere around here. Trust me, even if he sees us he probably won’t remember nothin’.” 
Arthur smiles a bit. “Well, okay. If he comes rushin’ over though, I ain’t makin’ no promises.” 
You return the smile. He holds out his arms and leans over to you, enveloping you. Immediately you bury your head into his chest as his chin settles on your head. Man, he is warm! He’s always warm, but the alcohol has made him damn near hot. You sniff hard, taking in the intoxicating scent of his skin. You’ve always liked the way he smells naturally. 
After a moment or two, he leans back so he can stare down at you. “There. How’s that compare?” 
“Mm, pure heaven,” you say, smirking. Then you stretch up and press your lips to his. He doesn’t bolt back, and his lips move against yours. He sighs, his hand moving up to your shoulder. 
When you remove your lips from his, he smiles. “That was good, miss. But I don’t think  your man will be happy.” 
“Oh don’t worry, Mr. Morgan. He won’t remember a thing.” 
“In that case, would ya mind goin’ in for another?” 
You respond by kissing him again. 
***********************************************
In the morning, Arthur groans. He’s lying on his back in your shared cot. The only thing hiding his naked body from view is the blanket you both sleep under. He runs his hand over his face. 
“You waking up finally?” you say, knowing exactly how he feels. Damn, you drank way too much last night.
“If this is what you call awake,” he grumbles. His bleary eyes open to see you dressing yourself, though you’re not at all happy about it. 
“What… what happened last night?” he asks after he realizes he’s naked. 
You smile. “Oh Arthur, you were downright sweet last night. I didn’t know you was a romantic drunk.” 
He lets out a pleading groan, flopping back onto the bed. “I didn’t do nothin’ stupid, did I?” 
“Well, by your standards, no. Like I said, you were cute.” 
You let out a small giggle, then you lean down and place a kiss on his forehead before heading out to begin your chores. Smiling to yourself as you leave, you remember how Arthur was. If you know he’ll always be that cute and sweet, maybe you’ll have to let him get drunk more often.

Return of the Runaway - Esteem of the Middle Child - Part 1
Daria: Return of the Runaway
Esteem of the Middle Child
Lawndale, MD, September 16, 1996
A blue Lexus approached the High School which took its name from the 'burb (or town, depending on whom was asked).
“Girls, , I just want you to know your mother and I realize it's not easy moving to a whole new town -- especially for you, Quinn, right?” Jake asked.
“Did we move?” his 14 ½ year old daughter, Quinn, asked, sarcastically, from the back seat.
Jake laughed. “I'm just saying you don't make friends as easily as... uh, some people.”
His other daughter, 8 year old Veronica, turned up the radio.
“Veronica, for instance?”
“That's not what I meant... necessarily,” Jake said as he turned the radio off. “The point is, the first day at a new school is bound to be difficult...”
Quinn leaned forwards and turned up the radio. “Speak up, Daddy! Can't hear you!”
“Uh, where was I?” He turned off the radio. “Oh, yeah.”
The Lexus arrived at the school.
“Don't get upset if it takes the other kids a little while to warm up to you,” Jake said as Quinn got out of the car. After Quinn got out, he left, going towards Lawndale Elementary School.
Stacy Rowe noticed the redhead getting out of the Lexus. “She's so cute,” she said.
“Stacy, should I draw your attention to the fact that she's wearing all black?” Sandi Griffin pointed out.
“Oh yeah,” Stacy said.
“She may end up hanging out with that Kristen, or something,” Sandi said.
Jake arrived at Lawndale Elementary School and walked Veronica to the office. “See you this afternoon, Ronni,” he said as he left.
“Bye, Daddy,” 'Ronni' said. After a few minutes an older student came along to help her to her class.
“Hi, I'm Chris. I'm here to show you to your class,” the boy murmured.
“You don't sound too happy about it,” Ronni said.
“Punishment!” Chris said as he led Ronni out of the office.
“What did you do?” Ronni asked. 'He seems nice,' she thought.
“Fighting! But he totally asked for it!”
There was an uncomfortable pause. “Um, okay... You fight a lot?”
“Mostly with my older brother. He sucks!”
“At least you have a brother to fight, I guess. My sister wants nothing to do with me.”
“I have a sister, older than my brother. She sucks too! She's always talking about fashion this, make-up that!”
“At least she didn't run away,” Ronni murmured.
“What?” Chris asked.
“My other sister ran away before I was born.”
“Oh!” Chris said, finally silenced. They came to Ronni's classroom. “Here it is, Class 3R.”
“Thanks! I'll see you around, I guess,” Ronni said.
“No doubt, bye.”
Ronni entered the classroom.
Quinn entered the school psychologist's office. “Will this take long?” she asked in a monotone.
“Not long,” Mrs. Margaret Manson said. She held up a picture. “What do you see here.”
“A herd of ponies running free across the plains.”
“Uh, there aren't any ponies. It's two people.”
“Last time I took one of these tests, they told me they were clouds. They said they could be whatever I wanted!”
“That's a different test, dear. In this test, they're people, and you tell me what they're discussing.”
“Fine! I'll tell you what they're discussing!” Quinn said, her voice rising with tightly contained anger. “They are a married couple, and they're discussing how their past failures have caused one of their daughters to run away many years ago. They are also discussing the fact that they can barely spend two or three days without rehashing that discussion, not realising that their other daughters can't live up to the way that the runaway was before she got it into her head to run away!”
“Oh!” Mrs. Manson said.
“Can I go to class now?”
“Sure.”
Quinn then dashed out of the room.
Kristen Leung and Cindy Brolsma walked home from school.
“What do you think of the new girl?” Cindy asked.
“Which new girl?” Kristen asked.
“Quinn Morgendorffer.”
“The one in all black with flame red hair?”
Cindy nodded.
“Well, I tried to approach her between Maths and Language Arts, but she told me to 'get lost,'” Kristen said.
“She did?”
“Yeah, Maybe Andrea would have a better chance,” Kristen said.
“Maybe she was nervous about being at a new school,” Cindy said.
“Possibly...” Kristen said. They then talked about their plans for the evening.
“...Then they asked me to join the track team. But I said "Look, I'm new here. Give me a chance to get used to things." So, for now, I'm vice-president of chess club and that's it,” Ronni said.
“Sounds like a well-thought out decision, honey,” Jake said.
“So long as you can join the track team later – if you want. We never how much we can handle till we try, though,” Helen, Jake's wife, said.
“What about you, Quinn? How was your first day?” Jake asked.
“Let's see, the Language Arts teacher is a wimp, the Science teacher is a misandrist, the Maths teacher can barely hold the attention of the class, the Economics teacher draws incomprehensible diagrams...” Quinn began.
“I see. Did you make any new friends?” Helen asked.
“No, there was this goth chick, but I wasn't interested!”
“That's great!” Jake said.
“Jake!”
“I mean...”
“Quinn, your father's trying to tell you not to judge people until you know them. You're in a brand-new school in a brand-new town. You don't want it to be Highland all over again.”
“Not much chance of that, that duo isn't here, are they!”
“I'm talking about you making a friend or two. Don't be so critical. Give people the benefit of the doubt,” Helen said.
“So, it boils down to trust?” Quinn asked.
“Exactly, show a little trust.”
Then the phone rang.
“I hope it's not the chequers club again!” Ronni said.
Helen answered the phone. “Hello?” a pause “Yes.” Another pause.  “Uh, yes, she's my daughter.” Yet another pause.”I see. Listen, will this require any parent-teacher conferences or anything, and if so, is this the sort of thing my assistant can handle?” Another pause. “Okay, great. Bye!” She hung up and turned to Quinn. “Quinn, you took a psychological test today?”
“So?”
“Quinn, they want you to take a special class for a few weeks, then they'll test you again,” Helen said.
“You flunked the test?” Ronni asked.
“She didn't flunk anything. It seems she has low self-esteem,” Helen said.
“What! That really stinks, Quinn!” Jake said.
“Easy, Jake, Focus.” Helen turned back to Quinn. “We tell you over and over again that you're wonderful and you just... don't... get it!” She slammed her fists on the table. “What's wrong with you?!”
“Nothing!”
Helen sighed. “If only Daria were here.”
“That's all I hear. Daria, Daria, DARIA!” Quinn exclaimed. She left her lasagne half eaten and dashed out of the kitchen.
“If only we didn't fight about her. We wouldn't have lost our little girl!” Jake said.
“Da-ad!” Ronni said. She, too dashed out of the kitchen as her parents started into their blame game  about Daria's running away...

So, it looks like the roaring success of a wedding party added to Brandi’s reputation. You sure you don’t wanna roundhouse kick your BFF Dina there for smooching your firstborn son?
(John Burb – lover of drama, sitter of fences, gossip extraordinaire and never met a dirty joke he doesn’t like – glides by without a word but a mental note to regale his wife with all the sordid details.)
I still don’t know which of the two of them initiated that, but I guess this is what happens when you combine cute blond Fortune sims, one of whom has recently reached an... eligible age?... and our old friend ACR.

Tumblr media
Darren had at least five of those six beers, so this doesn’t surprise me in the least. Dreamer, I’m cutting you off!
Tumblr media
Time to celebrate the transition of the terrible twins, the perfect ending to this... interesting wedding.
Tumblr media
Growing up next to a rain puddle, is it everything you ever dreamed of Skip Jr?
Tumblr media
Sadly, it’s also time to say goodbye to the Mortimer Goth cosplay and the buzzcut...
Tumblr media
... and hello to... this! I’m pretty sure given he’s Sloppy and Playful, SJ’ll be a Nature sim, so it’s not even like this is hobby-appropriate costuming (it’d be better for his sister, she’s bound to be Sports or Fitness with her personality points).
Tumblr media
There’s something so ritualistic about the way they stand around cheering somebody aging, I love it. It’s even better in weddingwear.
Tumblr media
I’m also a big fan of how different Skip Jr looks to his older brothers. And this genetic correctness! I’m not sure how we ever put up with the gender-reversed Brandi clone EAxis stuck in the vanilla game. THANK YOU @meetmetotheriver 💟
Tumblr media
I’m excited that he grew up well, but scared of what kind of child he’ll be. Nowhere near as terrified as I am re: Suse though.
Tumblr media
Darren finally told one dirty joke too many? And in front of A CHILD?! No wonder he and John Burb get along so well.
Beau: Hey I’m gonna be a teenager in like a day, I can take it.
We’ll be the judge of that.
Tumblr media
Oh god, I don’t know if I even really want to do this, but here we go.
Tumblr media
Yo Bran, when did you change into your afterparty gear? (Seriously, I had no idea she had that maternity formalwear lurking in her wardrobe.)
Tumblr media
Susie: *stares at fire* Yes, yes, consume the souls of my nemeses...
Tumblr media
Skip Jr: Uh, Mr Dad, I think you’re supposed to put her down.
Tumblr media
Beau: This is gold.
Skip Jr: Seriously DreamerDaddy, I really think she’s meant to be on the floor...?
Tumblr media
Skip Jr: I can’t watch.
(Legitimately though, at this point I was hiding from the screen and peeping through my fingers to take these screenshots. I love a good glitch, but this was beyond terrifying.)
Tumblr media
OH MY GOD.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
THEY’VE MERGED INTO SOME KIND OF MONSTER.
Tumblr media
Oh thank heavens. I just had Darren do the ‘put Susie here’ action and while her arms did get stuck like this for a while, everything went back to normal and she was a child and not some warped giant baby. Good bloody lord! Darren, had you forgotten how to transition a toddler? Dirk’s not that old!
Tumblr media
Hey Suse, you’d better not be hunting bugs just to set fire to them.
Susie: Well I won’t be setting fire to anything if my stupid jar stays this empty.
While I’m kind of loving Susie’s blazer and jeans, gotta get those twins into the colors they were in as tots. It’s my rule! (When feasible.)
Tumblr media
Yeah we get it guys, you love each other because you’re both pretty awful. Had enough of this yet Beau?
Beau: Urgh. I’m disappearing into a place where I can control everything, thank you very much. This here dollhouse.
That sounds like a strangely familiar concept.
Tumblr media
Ah, back to some semblance of a (relatively) normal life! Skip Jr’s already making good use of those Playful Grouchy traits by beating Beau to death with a pillow, and Susie’s slyly charming her way into an older brother’s affections just as she did with Dustin.
Tumblr media
This loading screen will look rather different... imminently. Room for two more?
Tumblr media
Oh yeah! Remember Dustin’s strange schoolfriend who marched brazenly into the Broke trailer and randomly picked up and snuggled the twins when they were but babes? Skip Jr clearly does, and now that he can articulate this experience, is telling Beau just how traumatic it was.
Tumblr media
Back to plate-making, you! Yes I know you want a vacay, and you’ll get one when you sell several more of these. Also what’s that ‘get caught cheating’ fear? Why is cheating even crossing your mind? You literally just got married and it upped your chem with Daz by one whole bolt – three is the magic number, don’t mess with perfection!
Tumblr media
With Susie being an active-grouchy sports lover, I got her a nice Goal of Paul to play with. Of course the first thing she does is stand in it and jeer her brother.
Tumblr media
Skip Jr: Listen sis, this is your game not mine.
I’m fine with whatever happens as long as that ball doesn’t hit poor Darleen’s gravestone.
Tumblr media
Susie: So what we got going here.
Beau: Well we have this whole saga, see. Shirley here has been struggling with her feelings towards Muriel for quite some time now –
Tumblr media
Susie: So she sets fire to Muriel’s hair in a passionate fury and then these two ladies over here come and chop her good with samurai swords to avenge Muriel?
Beau: Uh, no –
Tumblr media
Susie: ‘I curse the day Shirley was born!’ ‘As do I, we will demand blood for blood!’
Tumblr media
Beau: *sighs* Not really what I was going for. How exactly are we related again?
Susie: This is great! Do you have any of those little green army men? Let’s have them explode the house in an act of WAR.
Tumblr media
Oh hi! Tinkering Lady is COOL! Dirk finally bagged the elusive invite to go play with cars and trains and robots. I think he’s our first too.
Tumblr media
I am going to aggressively marry her into one of the families at some point, I have to. Boho style, badass purple streak in her hair and pink eyes too? She has it all!
Tumblr media
Brandi, that is not acceptable. You have a pottery badge for crying out loud.
Tumblr media
Oh okay, you’re going into labor. I suppose that’s a fair excuse.
Tumblr media
Even cool Tinkering Lady is running to see the miracle of life!
Tumblr media
Darren: Oh, you’re having the babies, love? That’s nice.
THE MOTHERFUDGING VERTICAL RING GLITCH IS BACK AGAIN ON HIS SECOND FRIGGING MARRIAGE
Tumblr media
Susie?
Susie: Astarte and Proserpine are busy avenging Muriel and fending off acts of terror, god, leave me alone.
Tumblr media
Dirk looks like he’s singing a power ballad and I’m loving it. Meanwhile Beau is like, this ain’t my first rodeo.
Tumblr media
Here we go... again. AGAIN.
Tumblr media
The cramming into the doorway while Brandi gives birth in the narrowest place in the whole house is a treat tbh.
Tumblr media
And here they are! We gots two gals. Not saying they’re not lovely, call me a picky sim breeder but I was expecting them to be... at least S3? The genetics in this game confuse me sometimes.
Tumblr media
Speaking of genetics, look at this brown-eyed babe! Take your pick, they could be from Brandi’s dad or either or Darren’s parents. I’ve named them after surrealist artists (because I figured their parents’d be into that), so we have little Frida here...
Tumblr media
... and mere seconds younger, her sister Remedios!
Tumblr media
As per usual everybody cheers the firstborn twin and poor Remy doesn’t get a look-in. Even Susie dragged herself away from her macabre soap opera to say hi.
Susie: Who run the world? GIRLS! Who run the world?
Tumblr media
Skip Jr: Bang bang!
Beau: No. I only have three Playful points. I refuse to engage in your nonsense.
Tumblr media
And here are the twin ladies in their matching rubberbabybuggybumpers. Next up, we have our dearest Beau hitting teenhood! I’m gonna miss him as a kid.

Everything I ever wanted - Bill Skarsgard Imagine
Tumblr media
Requested: No
Warnings: A lot of cuteness!
Word Count: 1688
~~~~~  (The baby in this story is a boy, but I couldn't find a gif of Bill with a baby boy)
''You're so good with him'' I told Bill as he layed our son Aron, in his little teddybear blue carseat. Bill shot me a smile, and strapped Aron in. It was the evening after Aron was born, and we were free from the hospital. Bill went to the desk and informed that we were going home, and I looked at Aron and saw he was wearing this cute fur jacket with ears on it, and cute little shoes. He looked so much like Bill it was scary. Bill came back in, and he helped me up and grabbed the carseat, and we walked out of the building. When we got to the car, Bill held the door open for me, and I got in. He closed the door and opened the back door and carefully placed Aron in the car not to wake him up. He closed the door as silently as possible, and crawled into the driver seat. He started the engine, grabbed my hand and we drove home.
When we got home, it was past 11, and we were both dead tired. ''Why don't you go inside and get comfortable? I'll grab Aron'' Bill smiled. I nodded, kissed his cheek and walked out of the car and unlocked the front door, and felt the comfortableness of our home. I let the door open, and walked to our bedroom, and got changed into Bill's flannel, and left my underwear on. I tied my hair up into a ponytail and I heard the front door close and I heard Bill come up the stairs. I followed him and walked to our son's bedroom. When we got to know we were expecting a boy, Bill was over the moon. He always told me he never minded what we'd get, as long as our child was happy. Even if it was a girl he would love the baby forever and protect the child. We discussed having 3 or 4 childeren, but we wanted a couple of years between it. We talked about it and wanted our first kid to be around 2 or 3 before we start on more childeren. We walked into the light baby blue bedroom, and I smiled as I saw how it looked like it. The walls were blue, and Bill's friend was an artist and painted a beautiful Mickey Mouse painting on the wall, along with his name. Bill placed the carseat on the dresses where Aron's clothes layed in, and pulled the straps off him, and carefully grabbed Aron out of the seat. I smiled at the sight. ''There we go little man, save and sound at home'' Bill coated and layed him down on the dressing table, and unzipped the jacket. I helped Bill change the diaper, and changed him into his little pyjama's and we carefully layed him down in bed. I played the little music he had above his bed, and he tried to grab it, and we watched smiling as he did so. Bill wrapped his arm around my shoulder, and I rested my head on his chest and wrapped my arms around his waist. We saw Aron's eyes slowly close, and I carefully put the white blankets over him, and put the night light on, and we walked out of his bedroom.
Tumblr media
I smiled at my outfit, and I put on my white fluffy vest. I ran my had through my beach waves, and looked at the nightstand, and saw it read 10:30 in the morning. Bill and I decided to go shopping for more clothes and stuff for Aron. I decided to let Bill sleep for a little while, and I walked to Aron's bedroom. I saw he was awake, and he was looking at the ceiling. I smiled at my baby boy, and walked to him. ''Hello handsome'' I coated in a baby voice, and Aron gave me a toothy smile. I giggled, and picked him up. I decided to change him into this little cute outfit.   
Tumblr media
 I smiled as I saw the shirt. Bill's sister gave it to me and I was so happy when she gave it to me. She was really happy to be a godmother because I had a good bond with her. 
''Let's go get you fed darling'' I coated and I carefully put him in a playboy in the livingroom to make a bottle. When the bottle was done, I picked him up, and but a burb towel on my shoulder. I carefully grabbed Aron, and begin to fed him. After 10 minutes he was done and I layed him over my shoulder, and carefully tapped his little back. He gave a burp, and I giggled. ''Good boy'' I coated and I continued tapping his back just to be sure.
Bill yawned and slowly stretched. He stroked the side of the bed, and felt that his fiance wasn't next to him. He decided to stand up, and he quickly put on a black top, and shorts and went to his son's bedroom. When he got there, he saw his son wasn't there too. Worry begin to fill his body, and he rushed downstairs ready to call his fiance, until he saw a sight that warmed his heart. The love of his wife was feeding his son. He was so glad that he found her 4 years ago. He was just starting off his career, and he lost friends on the way, ececpt Landon, but most of his friends from Sweden he lost along the way. He was depressed, until one day he ran into a woman that chanegd his life. She was there along the stress, tears and anger. She stayed with him even if he was gone most of the time, cause Bill believed and still does that love wins everything. And he was right. Now he was here, watching his soon to be wife and his son. He couldn't be happier than he is now.
''Babe, are you ready?'' I shouted to Bill. I heard him drop something, until he ran down the stairs. He looked fine as hell. He had his hair slicked back, a black shirt, making his biceps pop out, and jeans. I think I was starring to long, until his voice snapped me out of my thoughts. ''Take a picture babe, it will last longer'' He smirked and I blushed. ''I can't help it you look fine'' I smirked back and he strolled over to me. He wrapped his arms around the back of my thighs, and lifted me up. I yelped and we both laughed. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and kissed his lips. ''Say's you hot stuff'' he winked and put me back on my feet, and playfully slapped me on butt. I playfully shot him a glare, and he winked. He grabbed the baby wagon for Aron, and I picked up Aron, put my sun glasses on, and headed out of the door. We had a little step at our door, so we had to out Aron in his baby wagon. After we had put Aron in his wagon, Bill grabbed the wagon, and we walked to the mall.
When we got there, I knew people recgonized Bill, but they also knew he was a dad now, so they kept their distance and that was super friendly of them. We saw a baby store, and Bill immidiatly walked in. I giggled at his excitement, and I took over the wagon, and he immidiatly went to the boy clothes. He was like a kid in a candy store. ''Freshly parents?'' I heard the woman at the cashier say from behind me. I turned around and nodded at her. She also knew who Bill was, but she stayed calm. ''Yeah, he is in the clouds now he is a dad. He couldn't be happier'' I giggled and she smiled. I decided to walk over to him, and saw he had a whole basket full of baby clothes, and now he was at the toy and stuffed animal section. ''Babe? What did you put in the basket?'' I giggled. He turned to me, and he had both his arms full with stuffed animals and toys. ''Not much'' He said, and I shook my head giggling. I saw him turn to a huge teddybear and I meant huge! If we put it in Aron's bedroom it would come to the ceiling! He gave me his puppy eyes that I couldn't resist. ''Ma'am, do you also deliver?'' I called to her, and Bill cheered.
''Thank you so much guys'' I said to the two men who dropped out stuff off. The woman of the store, gave us everything for free, and Bill took a picture with her and a autograph for her daughter. He also promised when he would come back, he would call the store and that she would take her daughter, so she could get a picture with him. I layed the stuff in the hall, so we could do this tomorrow, and I put the huge teddy bear in the hall also. I walked in the living room, and I saw Aron in his cute little pyjama's, laying on Bill's chest. I took of my shoes, and I crawled next to Bill, and he layed Aron on my chest, and Bill wrapped his arm around my shoulder. ''I'm so in love with you'' Bill said to me. I blushed and felt my heart flutter. I looked at him, and cupped his cheek and kissed his lips. ''I love you too Bill'' I said and he rested his forehead on mine. We enjoyed the rest of the evening, watching movies, and watching our son peacefully sleeping.
