The Lilac Legacy 2.4
Caution: Language, adult themes, derpiness.
Notes from the author: You guys will be happy to know I FINALLY, after 10+ updates, figured out how to size my screen caps properly. Thanks for bearing with me. :)
Last time on the Lilac Legacy: Alain and Lavender became elderly voyeurists, Cyan proposed to Plum in the kitchen, the Lilacs had an engagement party, Plum and Cyan had a private wedding at the Science Center, Cyan lost no time getting preggers and first baby of Gen 3, Sky Lilac, was born.
Sky recently evolved into a toddler.
Speaking of, you didn't get your daily recommended dose of Sky spam last time. Let me help you with that.
There, that's better.
She was lucky enough to get Plum's eyes and skin tone, and her mother's lovely hair color. I think she's gorgeous. QwQ
Cyan: Once upon a time there was a beautiful red-headed princess who lived in a castle.
Sky: :)
Cyan: This princess dreamed of more than being a proper lady and having tea with the other royalty for the rest of her life.
Cyan: One day she planted a magical seed outside of her tower window and the next morning a giant plant had bloomed! The princess climbed down the flower and ran away.
Sky: Fower!
Cyan: Her father, the ruler and boss of the kingdom, was furious when he found her gone from her chambers that afternoon.
Cyan: But it was too late. The princess had fallen in love with a great knight questing from another land and they lived happily ever after. The end!
Sky: Love!
Cyan: Now you stay here and play while mommy goes and makes us some lunch okay?
I am quickly learning that we may have another Amethyst on our hands. This kid does not understand the concept of patience. She's friendly, but definitely doesn't hesitate to let people know when she's unhappy.
Monkey: Somebody turn her off, there's got to be a button somewhere.
Nessie: Hide me! I don't want to go back into her mouth, please don't make me! She's teething!
Cyan: Okay, okay, I hear you! You're grumpier than Plum when he hasn't had naughty snuggles in a while.
Also, how cute is this high chair pattern? <3
But at the end of the day, Sky is still pretty much adorbz. Hopefully she'll grow out of her Godzilla behavior traits.
Sky: Waaaaaah!
Plum: .....
Cyan: ZzZ who's bright idea was it to have a baby ZzZ
Or maybe not.
Plum: HOLY acrylics! It smells like sweaty bum and mom's leftover sushi in here.
Sky: Yes, well, maybe you shouldn't feed me Beanie-Weenies for dinner. Please enjoy scraping this diaper off with roofing equipment.
Yes... milk is probably safer. Well played Plum.
The next morning Lavender was looking super cute and making some pancakes. She still hasn't retired yet because I wanted to grant her life time wish, but she's getting there. I'm She's a bit lazy about interviewing people for stories.
Lavender: Who's my little teddy bear then? Come have some pancakes with grandma and then we can make a pillow fort in the livingroom. What do you say?
Best. Grandma. Ever.
Alain: But I just don't understand why I have to brush my dentures! They're not even REAL TEETH!
Weirdest. Grandpa. Ever.
I forget if I mentioned this last update because I'm a baddy SimOverlady, but Lavender planted an apple tree in the backyard for Amethyst right before she moved out. Through the magic of Sim Crops it is now a grown ass tree and Lav likes tending it.
She's also still working away at her painting skill. That portrait of Alain is pretty cute! I just wish her paintings didn't have that watery quality to them.
Tah dah! If you squint and pretend you're not looking at a portrait through an aquarium, it's really well done!
Lavender: *dig dig, dig dig*
Fox: LAVENDER! I didn't mean to complain about your lack of interviews, now get back to the house before someone catches you and thinks you've escaped a nursing home!
Oh. My. God. YOU WERE DIGGING IN MR CERULEAN'S TRASH?
Mr Cerulean: Oh, Mrs Lilac, lovely to see you again. Charmed.
Lavender: Evening Bluejay! [His first name I never mentioned.] Just checking bins for recyclables! Eheh...
Thankfully he just invited her in for a cup of tea and she went home, but that could have gone far, far worse.
Meanwhile, back on the ranch, Sky was up to her usual antics. I'm serious, this kid has FULL NEEDS.
Clearly both parents are duly concerned.
Sky: Maybe the blue ones taste of blueberry. What's a kid have to do to get some food around here?
FULL. NEEDS.
Cyan: Maybe she just wants some attention.
Cyan: C'mere you little rascal. It's 6AM on mommy's day off and I need to keep myself from handing you to grandma and going back to bed.
Sky: :O
\
Cyan: Very good! Now, let's go find daddy and tell him he's babysitting today. I need to do some shopping.
Plum: OH MAH DARLIN, OH MAH DARLIN, OH MAH DAAAARLIN CLEM-
Alain: Plum, it's so early! Can't you wait until my pills kick in before you start yowling?
To Plum's surprise, Violet phoned and invited him over to her new house so she could visit with Sky. No one had seen much of her since she moved out with Jet.
Daaaang. When I said "Violet moved into a comfortable ranch home across the street" I wasn't lying. This is almost as nice as the Legacy house!
Plum: DAMN sis, is Jet a drug dealer? This place is amazing!
Violet: Haha, no. My music career is going really well. I lucked out and got signed to do the soundtrack for a couple of big films. Now, where's my little niece?
Violet: ♪ Let's have some fun, this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your disco stick! ♪
Sky: Disco stick!
Plum: Okay, I think that's enough bonding time with Auntie Violet for now. Let's go home before she starts singing Poker Face.
Sky: :)
Plum: Sorry I keep going into your room to play, I just like the ambiance in here- dad. Are you okay?
Alain: I don't... feel so well.
Alain: Uh.... that new heartburn medicine has some wonky side effects.
Death: Yeah, I'd definitely check the label next time. Tums is the better way to go for occasional heartburn. Anyway, come with me please.
Plum: What? NO. HE'S NOT EVEN THAT OLD. WHY ARE THE SIM GODS SO CRUEL?
Fox: Ahem. I had nothing to do with this.
Lavender: Honey? What's going on here. Who's that figure in black? What's happening?
Cyan: Oh no... the same thing that happened to mom...
Death: Mr Alain Jade? Your soul is now free. Please follow me to the After Life and enjoy your complimentary peanuts on the way.
Lavender: YOU CAN'T DO THIS. I was supposed to go first! NO! I WONT ALLOW IT!
Alain: Lav, please. It's okay. I'll wait for you. Tell everyone I love them.
Guys, this is my first Sim death ever. I was tearing up like a baby. :/
I wasn't the only one who thought so. :[
Lavender: ... this was his favourite side of the bed. I can't sleep here... I can't sleep anywhere. Oh, Alain...
I made a little Legacy plot for them in the backyard. It may look quaint but I think it suits them.
Plum: Aww, you can't sleep either? It's okay little Sky, grandpa's in a better place now. Oh, dad...
I have never been so torn up about a little bundle of pixels. You will be missed, Alain.
Sky was growing up so fast. She started walking.
Sky: Maybe if I hide in the toybox, daddy wont give me a bath.
And talking.
And spending a lot of time with grandma. If Lavender was doting before, she's even more so after Alain's passing.
Cyan threw herself into becoming a good mother and wife to keep her mind off more somber things.
The whole household had that expression. It was like a big gray cloud was hanging over the Lilac Legacy home.
I bought Lav some new clothes hoping that it would cheer her up, but she quickly let me know that even her insatiable materialism wasn't going to make her forget about her lost love.
Lavender: Alain... would have loved this floral print.
I went downstairs to check on Cyan and... Alain was reading one of Lavender's trashy novels. In his underwear. Oh, and HE'S A GHOST.
Cyan: Oh. My. God.
Cyan is a coward so this did not go over well with her.
Cyan: It's not nice to scare people! Be gone, spirit!
Lavender: Honey? Is that you?
He then proceeded to completely ignore them and float around the house.
Sky: That was my cake. :I
Sky: Hey grammy? Grampa is playing the GameStation.
Lavender: That's nice, honey, I have a deadline to mak-
Lavender: ...what?
Yup. Alain ghost gives no effs.
Why have I joined the legion of folks who snap pictures of their SimKids pooing? BECAUSE SHE DID IT BY HERSELF! I never knew they could do that, I usually just age them up when they're finished learning their childhood skills.
Cyan: Uh oh, it's somebody's birthday today!
Sky: Yay!
Lavender: We're going to have a good time. We're celebrating my lovely granddaughter's big day and you will not break down and cry during the party. Got it self?
Birthday horns unison! :D
Sky: Herple derp.
Everyone, meet Sky Lilac fresh out of toddlerhood!
Sky Lilac:
-Easily Impressed
-Friendly
-Family Oriented
She enjoys Classical music, Cheese Tofu Steak, and her favourite color is white. Her astrological sign is Virgo.
She is just cute as a button. However...
NO idea where that schnozzle came from. It doesn't look like either Plum or Cyan's nose.
Anyway, that wraps it up for this update ladies and gents. My heart is still broken over the loss of Alain, but that's how the Legacy cookie crumbles.
Thank you for reading and supporting the Lilac Legacy. UNTIL NEXT TIME!
