The True Story of the Villareal Family [3.1]
prev // home // next
It was finally the weekend at the Windenburg community pool, and it always started with a certain sound.
Flip.
Flop.
Flip.
Flop.
Flipflopflipflopflipflop.
Savvy poolgoers knew to get out of the way when they heard the march of the flip-flops, because it meant the Paragons were coming.
The Paragons descended in concert, perfect skin and teeth gleaming in their coordinated pink bathing suits.
Their entrance at the community pool was a power statement.
Normally, Luna would bask in the attention, but today she was daydreaming about someone: a mysterious knight she had recently met. Her little crush was still a secret from the Paragons, but she was sure they’d approve of her Prince Charming – once she figured out who was in that suit of armor.
The Paragons turned the corner and seated themselves at the front of the pool in perfect synchronicity. The Paragons were club royalty, and the pool was their kingdom.
But they were also benevolent, allowing Windenburg’s peasants to share the community pool even if they were less-than-perfect.
So, shall we take a tour of their kingdom?
────────✦───────
“On days that end in ‘y’, we wear pink.” - Paragons
Of course, at the head of the pool sit our favorite club in Windenburg, the Paragons. Popular, pink, and perfect, one does not simply admire the Paragons – one worships them.
“Hey, we’re not Partihaus *all* the time. Right now we’re just don’t-talk-to-us-we’re-hungover-haus.” - Partihaus
In the northeast corner sit Windenburg’s biggest party club, Partihaus. They throw the best ragers, and while they’re all hot messes, they typically don’t have beef with other clubs. (Their drama is mostly internal and probably due to the fact that they’ve all hooked up with each other at some point).
“So, would you rather fight 10 duck-sized llamas, or one llama-sized duck?” - Misfits
At the east side of the pool loiter the Misfits – townies who belong to obscure clubs, or worse, who don’t belong to any. These are the kids who bring their homework to the pool and then complain when their books get wet from people splashing near them.
Luna’s twin brother Hugo was regrettably a Misfit, but she still loved him. Not everyone’s jib is cut out to be a Paragon.
“I’m ugly and dumb and like to break things.” – a Renegade, probably
And finally, we have the Renegades. If the Paragons are perfect, then the Renegades are the exact opposite of perfect. They’re a group of no-good criminals who enjoy harassing people, breaking things, and vandalizing the city.
And the Renegades and Paragons hate each other.
So, I'm sure it'll be another peaceful, drama-free day at the Windenburg community pool...

Updating tumblr & realized I'd never posted the Villareal family!
They were forced out of Windenburg along with all the other mundane's due to the spellcaster war, & are now living in WC. Jacques stays mostly drunk, due to what he suspects a young Max did to his wife...
Luna & Hugo have been forced to be the adults in the home, keeping it clean, cooking meals, & trying to figure out how to deal with their creepy little brother.

Partner has been watching Wizards of Waverly Place in the background for... nostalia I guess?
anyways. there's a scene where Harper asks Max how he's doing and he responds with "pretty good. I ate squirrel, made some new enemies, it was a regular day."
and I will now forever have it in my head as a headcanon for Max Villereal. I can't unsee it.

The True Story of the Villareal Family [2.3]
prev // home // next
The Villareal children were in for a treat they didn’t want.
They arrived home from school, already feeling collectively below-average. Hugo staggered in like a zombie, having barely slept. Luna kept checking her phone and sulking because a certain someone wasn’t texting her. And Max – actually, Max felt ok. Maybe a little bored.
But none were in the mood for another attempted Family Fun Day, even though their father had spent the entire day preparing for it.
───────────────✦───────────────
While the children were at school, Jacques Villareal had taken the day off from doing nothing to redo the pool.
"There, much better."
“Come, offspring!” He called out to his children, cackling to himself. “I remodeled the pool. Let’s have a Family Fun Day pool party!”
“You remodeled the pool?” said Hugo. “It doesn’t look any different to me.”
“Well, it is,” said Jacques. “Now get in.”
Meanwhile, Luna was still anxiously checking her phone,
but there were no new messages. Anguish welled in her chest.
You ok? she typed woefully. Did I do something wrong? What’s going on? I miss talking to you.
There had been no response all day from her mystery knight about why they never showed up to their rendezvous, but maybe this 127th text in a row would finally do the trick.
She put her phone back and resisted the urge to pull it out immediately again. After all, she didn’t want to come off as desperate.
“Do we have to go swimming right now, Dad?”
Hugo threw up his hands in exasperation. “I’m so tired. I slept like two hours on a bench outside the Von Haunt Estate because you forgot about me and left me there yesterday.”
His father rolled his eyes. “Of course I didn’t forget about you, Hugo. I ignored your calls on purpose. Now quit complaining and. Get. In.”
Hugo groaned. Fine. He was too tired to argue. He teetered from exhaustion as he headed towards the diving platform.
Jacques turned around and set up a chair at the edge of the pool. “You kids go first. I’ll join later.”
The kids changed into their bathing suits and lined up. Hugo was first.
“You’re doing swell, Hugo,” said Jacques in a rare moment of paternal encouragement. “Luna, you’re next!”
“Ugh, whatever, Dad.” She didn’t care about anything anymore.
Little Max was last to cannonball in, and he was the only one who was having fun. Besides Jacques, that is. Jacques was still chuckling to himself, watching his children swim in circles.
Hugo’s arms started to feel very heavy, as did his eyelids. He relaxed his muscles, his head lolling for a moment, just a moment, and rested his eyes for a moment, just a moment, when
his eyes suddenly snapped back open.
Whoa! Almost fell asleep there, big guy. It was definitely nap time for him, one way or another.
Hugo swam to the edge of the pool and grasped the ledge to pull himself out.
“What are you doing?” asked Jacques, shocked.
“I’m going to bed,” said Hugo. “I’m so tired–"
“No, I mean, how did you get out of the pool?”
“… by pulling myself out over the ledge? Look Dad, I just really wanna sleep–"
But Hugo didn’t get a chance to finish, because Jacques suddenly broke into a scowl and stood up furiously, slamming his chair into the ground, mumbling under his breath.
“Guess they don’t make pools like they used to.”
And Jacques stormed off into the house, livid, leaving behind his three bewildered kids.
Hugo was baffled. What was up with Dad? He had gone real quick from being excited about the pool to having a full-blown conniption.
“Aw, does this mean Family Fun Day is canceled again?” said Max behind him, disappointed.

There’s a lot of Sims that EAxis did dirty, and Hugo may not be in the top 10, but he’s definitely top 20. Hugo, to me, is the more reserved kid whose personality contrasts that of her sister Luna. I didn’t mean for this to happen but his general outfit colour is nearly the opposite of his sister’s.
