I don't think it was cold at all! It was really touching, how she didn't want to even though she knew it was the right thing to do. The picture where she is crying, especially.
I love all of the kids! I cannot wait to see them when they get older! And Jonas leaving for college...that's going to be very interesting for the family.
Thank you so much! :D Jonas won't be going to college until they are on the last town, tho (I counting around one week per kid and teen stages), but it's the natural thought of any mother when their kids become teens, right? ;) (and In game I'm already thinking what college he'll go of course lol)
I thought it was nicely written, and the picture of her crying and cuddling Obea was really descriptive as well. :) It's a difficult situation for everyone, but in the end I think it might be the best option. Of course, I wonder what the twins will think when they get older?
I think Jonas might be a Knowledge sim in the making? :) And I'm gonna guess Family or Popularity for Lander...
Thank you so much! I was hoping the picture would help with the emotions. :) (honestly every time I read the text alone in my head sounds like "well tough luck. the baby had to go. the kids will get over it. Moving on..." ROFL)
Bu the twins will meet when they grow up a bit more, and then we'll see how things go. Maybe then can spend some time in each house. Sim-world isn't that big after all :P
As for aspirations, imo, Jonas has been knowledge since toddler. Not a very obsessive knowledge, but his wishes have always been all about learning and trying new things in one way or another. Lander instead it's all about his family and playing so he'll definitively be Family, and Maya is all popularity. Since becoming a kid, all her wants had been about making friends. :)
I love how you pay such close attention to things like the kids' wishes affecting their future aspiration. So many players just roll a dice and call it good. Your affection for yours really shines through. :)
Honestly, I never gave much thought to it, but I do that all the time. :) I can't imagine choosing asp. any other way, or at least not if I can avoid it. (tbh, I tend feel a bit frustrated if for any reason there wasn't enough time to play the kid at least a day, to see what he/she wished for and behaved, before giving them aspirations lol I try to go with personality on those cases, but don't like the dice)
JIC, when the girls were born, I quickly aged them up to see if they had pointy ears, and posted a few spoilers of them, so if you want to see them (as tods and kids) check out this post http://aledstrange.livejournal.com/87493.html
Oh! Hehe! They are super cute! :-P They really are twins! Surprising that they both have the same skin color too! :) They're cute! And I love that you gave one away. It was meaningful. :)
Thank you. I wanted twins with the Summerdream from start, but the part of giving one way or not was hard to decide. The fact that both twins were so similar actually made it easier, tho I'd miss the uber-cuteness of both of them growing together XD
I agree with the other comments. Blossom doesn't seem cold. She's torn but it's not like the Summerdreams would take "no" for an answere, right?
I like how you added the bit about the older children, how it's not a secret and how not much at all (concerning the children's fathers and such) is a secret.
My only complaint about this update? More Maya! I can't wait until she gets to be the focus of an update. (that may not really be your goal, but I like how one child seems to stand out per update--it adds to how you're writing Blossom, showing how she's fair with all the kids but never shorting any of them--each gets a good turn at being the focus).
I look forward to seeing the twins as toddlers (and more Maya, of course).
I can't see Blossom as the kind of mother who'd hide reality from her kids, and not like she could with the type of life they have either, imo, certainly not as they grow. Kid are not fools, and Jonas especially is more aware of everything, than he lets out.
I'll try to add more Maya next time, but it's harder and harder to focus too much in one kid when there're so many others, and so much going. (And that goes for writing and playing lol)

I love all the detail about the kids and their relationships, and that shot of the boys with the fireflies and the starry sky is lovely! :)

The Summerdream are so happy with their baby. Puck and Bottom are both adults, so she's going to get all the cuddles! :)
