"DEAR GOD, I was terribly lost when the galaxies crossed and the sun went dark..."
I have a slew of Sims 3 photos for y'all, though given the numbers, I'm gonna split them into separate posts. I also have a the new "Owl City" CD, which is getting a lot of play time on my computer/in my car. Just saying.
Dysart Pershing dreams of astronauts, in true Pershing fashion.
When last we visited the Pershings, little Daisy had grown into a fine teenager and the family had welcomed a third child to the fold, little Dinah. Welp, given that Sim babies only last for, like, 3 days, Dinah's birthday quickly arrived and Daddy Dysart deposited her in the ancestral flower patch to age up.
With Dinah's presence and path to teenage years, the Pershings only need two more children before their overall goal of raising five-
Wait, hang on a second.
What
the fuck
is this?
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I was raising a family of gingers here. Did you somehow not get the memo, Dinah? BECAUSE YOU SURE AS HELL DON'T LOOK LIKE A GINGER TO ME. DID DEBORAH SCREW ODIN CROSBY? HIS HAIR IS THAT COLOR, DINAH. DID YOUR PARENTS' SHEER HATRED FOR HIM SOMEHOW INFLUENCE YOU DURING THE IN-UTERO PERIOD OF YOUR DEVELOPMENT?!
HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO YOU FAMILY, DINAH?!
...so yeah, turns out Dinah's not a ginger. Who knew? This is a great shame to her family and has thus seals her fate as the black sheep and outcast sibling. There is nothing that can be done about this.
"You are not my child."
No, seriously. Everyone already hates her-- as they should.
"Shut up, Dinah."
As devastating as this blow is for the family, there is one thing that will come from this... shunning.
One of these things is not like the others.
You see, Hebei and I have already picked out our next Sim "challenge", as it were and while I shan't be sharing the details here, it was agreed--nay, mandated-- by the two of us that Dinah shall be the one selected to participate in this challenge. But that's a distant day in the future, as the current goal must first be reached and there are still two more children to invite into the family.
Until then, keep looking like a monkey, Dinah.
In other news, Delilah grew to a teenager herself, much like her elder sister Daisy.
"Happy Birthday-- at least you're a Ginger!"
She has a very sophisticated look to her, unlike Daisy who spends most of her time hanging out in her underwear (what, she's inappropriate. Are we surprised?)
"So, do you think Mom cheated on Dad? I mean, how do you explain Dinah?"
Speaking of Daisy's inappropriateness, it has caused quite the stir in her relationship with Dimitri (so I've been spelling his name wrong. Don't matter to me so it shouldn't matter to you). She invited him over to hang out then came out in her underwear (as covered above, her favorite choice of attire) and tried to make out with him.
He did not approve.
How's that for a death glare?
Well, hopefully they'll recover from this setback. I mean, I've already made up my mind that Daisy will marry him and have Ginger-Russian babies. I won't let this deter the overall plan.
Which segues nicely to the next course of events. See, disappointed by their failure with Dinah, Dysart and Deborah were quick to go at it like rabbits again. Perhaps the next child won't be such a letdown.
"Look, I'm willing to pray extra hard for this kid to turn out right if you're willing to admit you banged Odin."
"Loathe as I am to admit it, Darling, Dinah is every bit your daughter as mine."
"Damn it."
With the new update, the act of making a child became a memory the game really wanted them to treasure forever.
Do you see that? IN A BED. If that's not worth remembering, I don't know what is.
Fortunately, they game has some suggestions of its own as to what counts as other worthwhile memories.
So many beautiful memories.
Uh-oh! Looks like Deborah is going into labor. If it's a boy? His name is Dylan. If it's a girl, Diamond. But surely, after three girls, Deborah's due for a-
FUCK, she had twins NOW? The Pershing family welcomed both Diamond AND Dana into their ranks, making all the offspring female. I'm sure by this point Dysart, who has been longing for a son since the first child was born, cries himself to sleep every night.
That is, when he gets a chance to sleep. There kinda wasn't space for more than one crib, what with the tiny house and all, so sacrifices were made and one of the beds had to be sold to allow for Dinah, Diamond, and Dana to all have sleeping spaces so that child services didn't come cart their asses off.
Of course, even that proved to be a problem as apparently only two of the three cribs were accessible. Dysart kept crying about this as he tried to put the babies down.
One of the cribs was sold, which meant that we were playing musical chairs with the cribs as well as the lone adult bed. It was a good turn of events that toddler years are short too; Dinah grew into a child when no one was looking (literally; they kept TRYING to celebrate, but I kept canceling this and quelling their desire to honor her existence).
So very lonely...get used to it. Your future is going to be wrought with hardship.
Now the twins have the run of the cribs, unimpeded! And how popular they are with their older sisters. Yes, they're destined for a happy and successful life.
...unlike Dinah.
And that's how things stand (or stood) at this point in the Pershing household. There is undoubtedly more wackiness down the line and more importantly, a key quandary to be answered:
Will the twins grow up ginger or will they turn out like Dinah?
All this and more next post.
