9.7: The Last Days of Bachelor(ette)hood

Hello everyone, welcome back to more chaos from the Kanto family. I hope you’ve all been well since I last posted. Last time, Quen gave birth to baby Throh, officially chose Orthopox as her future spouse, and got pregnant with Elekid’s baby, finishing her LTW. A bunch of family drama also occurred, spiraling the family into madness. Let’s jump right into another long chapter. Apologies, with so many Sims around the house, I’ve been taking lots of pictures.

Edit: Just logged into boolprop.net for the first time in months, and apparently I’ve been nominated for a Golden Plumbob award! I never expected that, I’m so honored!!! Thanks so much for sticking with me all this time, everyone. I’m excited to finally finish this legacy off with a bang soon!

The adults in the household are constantly fighting to shower the nooboo in affection.

Except Ling, of course. She has other priorities.

Deerling: Shall I or shan’t I? The green man and I are meant to be, and yet he’s betrothed to another.

Deerling: Oh, who am I kidding? I shall. Hey there, sexy green man.

Orthopox: Affection, how exciting!

Poor Mimey, he still likes Kid. He has no idea this man almost broke up his marriage.

Mr. Mime: I’m digging the tunes of this new generation.

Interesting artwork from Delibird.

Delibird: All true artists dabble in different art styles once in a while.

This should be Maggie’s last painting, and then she’ll be free to do what she wants with the rest of her life!

But first, birthday time for the kiddos! First up is Foongus, our baby plantsim.

Here’s our boy, looking super cute! He’s now insane, adding to loves the outdoors and athletic. Copying your psudo-twin, are you?

Foongus: I will not be upstaged by you, sister. Roll something lame.

Ariados: No way, brother! I’m the cool one in our duo.

Ari rolled over-emotional as her child trait, adding to insane and clumsy. She’ll be an interesting one, that’s for sure.

I let Gus keep the plantsim outfit for his everyday, but he has different outfits for the rest, I think. It’s been a while since I’ve played, so don’t quote me on that.

For Ari, I went with kind of a punk-ish look. With an insane, over-emotional girl, I figured she’d want to express her frustrations with the world through her looks.

Baby Throh also gets to grow up!

SHE’S SO CUTE!!!

Throh: That’s right, I’m the superior sibling!

Here’s a better look at her. She’s 100% Mimey, coloring-wise, aside from having a softer green skin tone. His grandparent genetics are overwhelming this gen so far. She’s got a lot of Jammie’s features right off the bat. I wish she’d gotten Jammie’s red hair, but oh well.

The adults were all busy when she grew up, so Throh gets started on her TSAL.

Does Deli have a hidden neat trait?

Delibird: Of course not. I just refuse to wallow in this messy house anymore. It’s killing my artistic vibes.

Kid’s baby is on the way!

Maggie’s LTW is complete!!! I almost feel like I cheated, using mostly self-employed careers, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish it if I did normal jobs, considering how long it took her to get promoted in journalism.

Oh Ortho, still thinking about your career while being swept off your feet.

Vespiquen: Ortho, my love, now that I’m finally done with my romantic endeavors, I have a question for you.

Vespiquen: Will you stay with me on Earth and become my husband?

Orthopox: What an unexpected development!

Orthopox: Of course I’ll stay with you, light of my life. My people will be thrilled to hear of our union.

Vespiquen: I love you, Ortho.

Orthopox: And I you.

Orthopox: On another note, I’ve discovered a new species of aquatic life.

Their relationship is so strange, but they work.

Foongus: Hey! You! That’s right, bring the camera this way!

Foongus: I am Foongus, king of the rock! All will bow to my superiority!

Ariados: Wait, hold on. Why is he doing cool stuff, but not me?

There you go, Ari. Now you’re doing cool stuff.

Ariados: I shall bake to vent my feelings.

Gus has chosen fishing as his main skill.

Foongus: Anything to get me into the outside world!

Ariados: I reject you as my daddy! Begone!

Orthopox: Gasp! I never thought the spawn might be against our marriage.

You might be wondering why I’ve kept Kid around after Quen disposed of him. I do still like him, even after all the drama he caused. I was at least going to try to keep him around until he finished his LTW.

But, this kind of thing keeps happening, and it was just a matter of time before he and Maggie started up their flirting again. Plus, the extra space in the house would be nice. So…

Goodbye, Kid! I hope SP treats you well.

Now there’s nothing to get between Mr. and Mrs. Mime anymore.

Deerling: I don’t care that he’s gone, he and that Maggie are still homewreckers. My son is just too dumb to see it.

Ariados: I really don’t care about your adult drama, Granny.

Deli found Ari’s muffins! How are they?

Delibird: Honestly, they’re really not bad for the first attempt of a six year old.

Three generations of Kanto women at the table together.

Vespiquen: Stay away from my man, Grandma Ling. I will fight you.

Deerling: Who, me?

Scizor: This is just like the plot of My Immortal Lovers. How juicy.

Vespiquen: Baby 🙂

Deerling: Ortho deserves better, you floozy.

Delibird: Why do we have to do homework anyways?

Scizor: Because we have to keep our grades up and graduate from school!

Scizor: Unless, of course, the school burns down. That would be nice, huh?

Delibird: Geez, sis. You’ve gotten kinda sociopathic since you became a werewolf.

Time for Scizor to grow up! There will be such a big age gap between her and the final baby of the generation, geez.

Scizor: Time for me to truly flourish as a woman of the moonlight.

Well, you certainly turned out pretty. As far as flourishing in your teen wolf years though, that might be difficult since you’re now a coward.

Scizor: Me? A coward? Oh, bother…

She adds this trait to good, couch potato, and genius. Truly, all traits befitting a werewolf queen, I’m sure.

Her teen appearance confirms that Scizor is a clone of Quen, coloring and all. The only thing different is her eyebrows. I still love her though.

Foongus: Who cares about that loser when I’m on a high speed chase?

Looks like Ari was also playing pretend, since she’s wearing a helmet. Must have missed it.

Ariados: It was just too rainy, Granny. I couldn’t see, so I had to stop the car for the safety of everyone. Only a nutcase would endanger the populous by continuing to drive.

Deerling: Weirdo say what now?

Foongus: That’s right, gaze upon my cool dance moves.

Ariados: Look at me, I’m a stupid boy and I think dancing will make me the Simmer’s favorite.

Ariados: I’ll show him, oh yes I will. Gaze upon my glorious formal dress.

Please excuse her scales, I keep forgetting to change some of the kids’ scale colors. I get around to them all eventually.

Margaret: Now that you’re a teen, Scizor, you’ll notice that you’ll start feeling certain…urges. They’re perfectly natural, I assure you.

Scizor: I know all about the urges, Grandma. Don’t you worry.

Scizor: Awww yeah, time to go on the hunt.

Not the kind of urges she meant, Scizor.

Scizor: Oh, did she mean mating? I like guys.

Noted.

Quen’s going back and forth between athletic, logic, and charisma. Since her LTW wasn’t skill or career based, I’m just going with her wishes, mostly.

This is your idea of hunting?

Scizor: Oh, I hope nobody sees me….

Delibird: I sense something weird is about to happen.

What’s a university keg doing on the lot, you might ask? It’s time for….a bachelorette party! Ortho wanted to throw a bachelor party as well, but I my game could only handle one party. Sorry, bud.

Foongus: Who are these strange men?

Those are your uncles! Hey boys!

I have missed these two. Mimey and Maggie sure made some fine children. Who else was invited?

Some of Quen’s conquests, including Jammie the Genie.

Cousin Hypno.

Cousin Sandshrew, with snacks!

And…some guy. I really have no idea who this is. Gotta love the mandatory party crashers.

Scizor: Eww, what is some rando doing in our house?

Beedrill: I really should visit more often so my nieces and nephew know who I am…

And here comes the entertainment.

Himbo: Where’s the lucky lady?

Nobody really cared much for the stripper, nor for Jammie’s maid of honor speech.

Jammie: Come one, come all, for the day you thought you’d never see! The day Vespiquen Kanto settles down!

Vespiquen: Ugghh, who made you my maid of honor?

Beedrill: This music! Is not appropriate! For dancing!!!

Deerling: I agree! ~person person minus~

Jammie: Ehh, it works for me.

Foongus: What do you think, Ari? Should we go make an appearance at the adult party?

Ariados: Nah. Sounds lame.

Delibird: Your loss. This is a blast!

Says Miss Loner.

Deerling: You. Teenage boy. Can you feel the love tonight?

Party Crasher: Eww. Get away from me, you pedo.

Himbo: Ooh, spicy.

Party Crasher: She looks pregnant, should she be drinking?

Margaret: I’ve given up on the morals of my daughter, honestly.

You’re one to talk, Maggie.

Jammie and Ling do a keg stand.

Mimey dances. Not sure where his custom formal outfit went…

Scizor avoids the party, and dotes on her current youngest sibling.

Scizor: Somebody has to be responsible.

Throh: Are you my mommy?

Himbo decided to stop dancing and took a pit stop in the sarcophagus.

Then he played some darts.

Then yelled at a child.

Himbo: Somebody needs to put you to bed, little girl! This party isn’t appropriate for someone your age!

Delibird: An adult acting like an authority figure for once? This pleases me.

Quen really isn’t that bad a parent, I promise. The kids are just dramatic.

Everyone surrounds the bar in Mimey and Maggie’s room, while our power couple have a makeout.

They do make a nice couple.

Then an inebriated Quen proceeds to pass out on the sidewalk. I weep for this new baby.

Throh really is adorable. I love the kids this gen.

Throh: Don’t mind me, just teaching myself to count while I’m ignored by the adults.

They really make the parents this gen sound worse than they are.

Aubergine: I don’t know, the adults around here seem pretty irresponsible to me.

If you really felt that way, you could interact with your daughter a bit, give her some guidance.

Aubergine: Nah. I’d rather drink.

The next morning, Ling gets sent to the library to throw more elixirs at people. Hypno was there with his son! I think he’s called Asher or Archer.

You’ll notice the library populated by Sims already affected by Ling’s shenanagins, including vampiric old woman and the Simbot.

This poor woman gets zombified.

Oh look, is this Aubergine taking my advice?

Ariados: Daddy? You’re talking to me? But Grandpa Mimey said left and wouldn’t come back.

Aubergine: I mean…I kinda did. And I probably will again. Sorry kid, I’m not really cut out for this.

Jammie: This situation could use my dance skills.

Stop. Baby time!

Jammie: Does this mean that my baby won’t be the baby of the family anymore?!

Vespiquen: If that makes you finally leave my house, then yes. It does mean that.

Speaking of, Jammie’s baby starts learning to walk during all this.

Gus is the first (I think) to find this little nook on the balcony. I think it’s a nice reading spot.

Orthopox: Oh, Plumbob! I am not prepared for the arrival of another child!

Margaret: Let’s see, how many does this make?

Vespiquen: Why is my face not in this picture?

Vespiquen: How could you make this birth about people other than me?!

Sorry, Quen. We have another boy! And he’s green again…yay…Welcome to the world, Crawdaunt.

Crawdaunt enters the world as a disciplined virtuoso. A classical musician in the making? He likes Egyptian music, cheese tofu steak, and hot pink, and he is a Pisces.

Birthing dispensed with, it’s time to get our couple married!

Guys? Anybody want to sit? Did I build this wedding pavilion for nothing?

Sorry for the lack of proper wedding party, I couldn’t handle it after the bachelorette the other night. Also, our lovely couple decided it was too cold to get married in their formalwear. Oops.

Vespiquen and Orthopox: ~are in love~

Margaret: It’s so nice to see her settle down.

Aubergine: Yeah, I guess this is kinda cute.

Repairman: What a beautiful moment!

Time to get the final baby of the generation cooking!

Orthopox: I have entered into marriage…what a glorious occasion!

Vespiquen: I knew you’d be mine, Ortho. This pleases me.

Now that Ortho’s officially a part of this family, time for his Saffron makeover!

Vespiquen: He looks even more handsome than before!

Hooray for the happy couple!

That’s all for this time, folks. Thanks so much for reading, and hopefully I’ll be back with a new chapter here shortly. In the meantime, Happy Simming!
