Newbury Legacy: 9.4

stillonmystringLast time: Elliott decided she had finally healed enough from her husband's death to propose to her new gentleman caller, Lester. June and Caleb grew up into teens and Quinn became a child and the cute lives on! June also got her first kiss from a potential werewolf (ignoring the fact that I don't even have Pets so of course he's not a werewolf) she brought home from school with her. Caleb attempted to woo an adorable young lady he brought home from school but, unfortunately, she wasn't having any of that. And, finally, Gemma and Robbie passed. You two nuts and your non-existent parenting skills will be missed.
We start today's update off with a nice big helping of FAILSAUCE. You go to school everyday so how can you be failing, young lady?
Oh right. That might be the reason why.
June: "I FUCKING HATE SCHOOL! HOMEWORK IS FOR LOSERS! I'D RATHER BE MAKING OUT WITH MY BOYFRIEND RIGHT NOW!" *whine whine whine*
Quinn: "Hey there, sis! I'm just gonna set my homework right here so you can do it for me, okay? Thanks!"
What a sneaky little bastard. And I love it. Hahahaha.
Is Quinn's choice of dolls to play pretend with a prophecy of some sort? Should I be watching him very carefully in the future?
June: "FUCK THIS SHIT! THIS HOMEWORK FROM WAY BACK IN THE THIRD GRADE IS JUST TOO HARD! I THINK I BROKE MY BRAIN!"
Well. One step at a time, right?
LOL. Nice work uniform, Morgan.
More troubling, however, is the fact that her carpool doesn't seem to realize the road curves right there instead of remaining straight.
And even more troubling is the fact that it has no driver. DUN DUN DUN.
Headmaster: "Good evening, Mrs. Trent. So I hear you're engaged. Congratulations! But are you sure it's been long enough since your husband's death? I have to say, some of your son's behavior in school is really concerning me..."
Les: "GTFO, old man! Can't you see I'm trying to get laid here?"
Headmaster: "Well, if you insist..."
Seriously. This guy has made how many visits now and he still manages to be more inappropriately hilarious everytime.
June: "Hey cuz, whatcha doin'?"
Caleb: "Just watching my mom and that stupid boyfriend of hers tickling each other half-naked. My life sucks."
June: "Yeah, that's too bad... So, ANYWAY! Today in school, this guy walked over to me and he was all 'OMG YOU'RE LIKE SOOOOOO HOT' and I was all 'THANKS BUT NO THANKS! I'M ALREADY TAKEN!" So then..."
Caleb & Elliott: *awkward staredown begins... now*
Caleb: "Can't you see I'm not in the mood to listen to your inane babbling?!? LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!"
Elliott: "So, honey, aren't you so excited for your mother's upcoming nuptials? I'm so happy you'll finally be able to have a father again!"
Caleb: "That man will never be my father. How could you, mother, how could you?"
June: "HEY CUZ! NOOGIE TIME! HAHAHAHAHA!"
Caleb: *gets the feeling the whole world is conspiring against him*
So, yeah, speaking of that wedding, it has now arrived!
Caleb: "I cannot believe this is really happening."
Me: *puts him on suicide watch*
For some reason, Quinn and only Quinn complains about not being able to walk down to the beach everytime he tries to go there. So the poor kid has to watch the ceremony from way back by the house.
Les: "Who are all these people?!?"
Elliott: "My entire crazy family who you will probably never see again. Just go with it."
This time, Elliott gets a massive bite of cake shoved into her mouth instead of the other way around.
Allegra: "HEY GUIZE CHAMPAGNE NOW PLEASE?"
Sorry. I just love those chipmunk cheeks.
So I glance quickly up at the house to check on Quinn and I see this CREEPY PALE WHITE FIGURE standing right next to him and I'm all, "WTF IS GOING ON?!?" I'm not sure why or how this lady crashed the wedding but get away from my child right now, you weirdo!
But then I figure it out... she's the lady who Les beat up all those summers ago and she's made the trek all the way over from Twikkii Island just to ruin his party. What a bitch!
Les: "You're going down, old lady!"
Creepy Woman: "Oh yeah? Let's see what you've got, you little pansy! I'm gonna totally kick your ass!"
Quinn *senses impending doom, plots his exit*
Well, now, this is a much more acceptable party-crasher! It's actually Zachary Perkins all grown up because I had to recreate him in the game as a sexy adult for exporting purposes. As you can see, he turns out very well.
Creepy Lady: "Here's to crashing wedding parties! And the appointment I have to kick the groom's ass in about ten minutes!"
Get the fuck out of here, you psychopath!
*sigh* Well, this party has pretty rapidly devolved.
Elliott: "HELL YEAH, BABY! PUNCH THAT CRAZY OLD BIDDY'S FACE IN!"
June: "BOOOOOOO! YOU'RE GOING DOWN!" (Though I don't think she's exactly sure who she's rooting for.)
Kenny: *is excited because this is the most drama he'll ever experience in his bland existence*
Quinn: "WOOHOO! FIGHT!"
Someone take this child inside right now! This is too violent for his innocent little eyes.
Meanwhile, Fiona is stil the shittiest dancer... well, ever. LOLOLOLOL. This never fails to amuse me.
And Caleb is still striking out with Camilla. At this point I got a sneaking suspicion and I had to confirm it...
Yep. She's a fan of the ladies. I guess this is a lost cause.
About two hours later, SURPRISE OF ALL SURPRISES, Les finally showed this woman who's boss.
YES, PLEASE, NEVER SHOW YOUR FACE HERE AGAIN!
Fuck you, you stupid bitch! This is not staying away! You were gone for an hour at most!
Shut your face. It's your fault their yard is being infested with roaches in the first place!
OMG I AM GOING TO KILL YOU. HOW DARE YOU CAUSE MY JUNE TO CATCH THE FLU!
GET. THE. FUCK. OUT.
For the record, this is the third time in the same night she's stopped by. And it's still the same night of the wedding party so she's really only had about three or four hours.
Elliott: "I swear to God, if you ever show your face here again I will feed you to our pet cowplant! GOT IT?!?"
That must have sufficiently scared her off because it was actually the last time she showed up.
Elliott: "Listen, honey, we had a beautiful wedding and all... but I really didn't appreciate that fight you got into. Now I know that old lady's a bitch but you need to learn how to control your anger better, dear."
Les: "HOW DARE YOU EVEN BRING THAT UP?!?"
Les: "I'M TAKING ANGER MANAGEMENT, WOMAN, GOD! DROP IT!"
Now what the hell is your problem, blue hair? Are you one of that old lady's cronies? She's too afraid to come back so she's sent you in her stead? WHOEVER YOU ARE, GO AWAY!
This picture is just here 'cause I like it. 'Nuff said.
WELL HELLO THAR! This is another of the kids' school friends. We've got to wax those manbrows but I bet she'll clean up very nicely.
Told you so! I just love that flat little nose of hers. So cute. And her name is May. Also cute!
Les: *has been given a concussion by the piano lid*
June: *does not even notice*
Caleb: "Yeah, I'm totally a teenage doctor! I'm, like, a kid genius, you know? Not to brag or anything..."
May: "Are you serious right now? I've seen Doogie Howser, you idiot, and you're definitely no Neil Patrick Harris."
OH HAI LOOK WHO'S PREGNANT ALREADY.
Aww. Les is going to be such a good father!
He and Quinn are kinda BFFs. Though you'd think that creepy clown costume would send the kid running for the hills.
BB TIME!
Quinn: "Hey, guys, what's going on?"
Everyone Else: *freaks out*
It's a (blond!) baby boy named Noel. I'll admit, I had Elliott give birth about twenty times in an attempt to get Les' freckled skintone but I finally gave up because it wasn't happening.
At this point, I decided that I wanted the house to be less crowded (or, er, I wanted more opportunities for Les+Elliott babies) and I had already pretty much crowned Caleb heir when he was born, so I had Jack and fam move out. But if you're interested in how the kids turned out as adults:
June is trying to give me a fucking heart attack with the amount of adorable she possesses. If not for the fact that I really wanted red hair this time (even though it ended up not mattering because of the spouse Caleb ended up with), I would have totally picked her.
Story: When I sent June to college, I decided to add her to my dorm of "rejects" (which also consisted of Fiona, Elijah, Simon, and the long forgotten Nico) and finally get all of them through. And the antics that occurred during that time frame are exactly the reason why you should not let Sims run loose for too long. I pretty much kept the game on speed three the entire time and let them do whatever they so desired and this is what went down. As soon as June moved in, before she even had time to step foot into the dorm, Simon started macking on her. And then he also began a blossoming romance with Fiona. Meanwhile, June is two-timing with Eli and Nico was dating his grandfather's fuck buddy, Cathy, before she was scared to death by a ghost - because there are about seven thousand gravestones on the lot (I actually had Nico save her from death the first time but then she was so stupid that she lounged in bed for hours instead of taking care of her needs which were in the crapper so she got scared again and I let the idiot stay dead). For comfort, he retreated into Fiona's arms and now the two of them are crazy over each other too. Also, Eli is a total asshole and hates Fiona's guts and the two of them are fighting each other 24/7. Fiona's so distracted by the fighting, in fact, that she somehow skips her final exam and ends up on academic probation for a semester. And this was all in their first two years. Eli also despises Harlan (though who doesn't?) and Ashley May (why, who could hate that adorable little thing?) so when Fiona's not available he's tormenting them instead. The two of them both ended up kicking the bucket (yes, people, the seemingly invincible Harlan has finally been conquered) and I'm sure Fiona would've too had she not been a controllable Sim. Basically, it was the most entertaining experience imaginable. In a train-wreck sort of way.
As far as Quinn goes, he remains rather baby-faced into adulthood. Oh, and that girl is the high school sweetheart he managed to procure in the three or so days he was a teen and she was cute so I let her go to college (probably eternally) with him.
OMG GEN 10 IS SO CLOSE! I am both relieved and saddened because I am ready to spend some quality time with another family but I also will miss all of the Newburys greatly!
P.S. Not Sims-related but this is kind of kick ass:
That's pretty fucking sweet. I kind of love Lady Gaga and am not ashamed! Also, I love her even more now that I've seen her proclaim her love for Jenny Lewis and sing part of "With Arms Outstretched". FUCK YES!
However, the censoring on The Fame Monster is really ticking me off. "I'M A FREE BIT, BABY!" What's that, Gaga, which bit exactly are you referring to? Oh, right, it's supposed to be bitch but some stupid record label felt the need to protect the world's fragile ears from that naughty naughty word.
