9.10: Birthdays for Days

Hey everyone! I’m back again with another post. I thought I would have two more posts before the heir poll, but I didn’t think there was a good place to split up this batch of images, so instead I’ll just put them all in one longer post. Apologies for that, but I hope you’re all ready to vote for the Cinnabar heir!

Gus has discovered the guest house basement. It’s quite popular among visitors, but the Kantos rarely venture down here.

Serenity is still here from last time.

Serenity: Maybe if I hang around her long enough, she’ll realize we’re meant to be.

Ariados: Lol little blue hedgehog goes fast.

Scizor becomes the first member of the generation to get asked on a date!

Scizor: ~gulps~ I don’t know if this is such a good idea…

It’ll be fine.

This is Zero Hernandez. Yes, he’s the half-brother of our friend Serenity. He’s pretty cute! And also age appropriate. What do you think, Scizor?

Scizor: C…c…cute….

Zero: I don’t know if I should be flattered or weirded out with the way this hot chick is staring at me…

They already have a decent relationship from school, so we get right to flirting.

Scizor: This is pretty romantic, right? Being out under the stars together.

Zero: That’s kinda what I was going for, yeah. Glad you agree.

She shoots…

And scores!

And the first of Cinnabar generation locks in a love interest. Just in time, too. It’s past curfew, but Scizor managed to get him to go steady and get home without getting picked up by the psychic police.

Poor Mimey is paid a visit by some of Ortho’s colleagues.

Mr. Mime: I welcomed Orthopox as a son, and this is how you repay me?!

Maggie is typically on Groudon duty, since she has the least to do out of everyone else.

Margaret: Don’t put it like that. Of course I’m happy to care for my grandchildren and their stinky bodily fluids.

Groudon: Stop pressing me down, gramma. It hurts…

Besides the “twins,” these two have had more of a chance to spend time with each other than the other siblings had as toddlers. Not sure why that is, but it’s nice to see.

Crawdaunt: Care to join me for Mozart? The radio across the hall has been playing it for a few days now.

Groudon: I don’t want more Sart brudder. I don’t even know what Sart is.

Crawdaunt: I’m surrounded by plebeians…

Speaking of the twins, they are the best of friends.

Scizor: Way to rub your adorable sibling relationship in my face, guys…

Foongus: Wanna be best friends forever, Ari?

Ariados: You bet your butt I do.

Yay! Now they’re officially the best of friends.

Crawdaunt doesn’t have to deal with his little sister’s lack of musical knowledge much longer. It’s time for him to grow up!

Uhoh, I know what that face means…

Crawdaunt: Hehehe, yes. I have finally reached a form fitting enough to contain my true power.

He’s evil now, adding to disciplined and virtuoso. He’s shaping up to be a classy Bond villain.

I’m not sure about his eyes, but the rest is all Quen. I’m really gonna need to play around with my NRAAS settings before Indigo gen.

Crawdaunt: The world is not ready for Crawdaunt the Great!

Groudon: Get out of my room, brudder. You’re creepy.

His first wish is to paint, so he gets right to it. He can’t use the instruments and training dummy I put in his room until he’s a teen anyways.

Now that we’re finally done with our TSAL for the generation, I let Throh magically clean the house.

Throh: How does this work…? Ummm…domus purgo?

Throh: I guess that did something.

Half the stuff in our house is broken right now, so I sent Ortho around fixing everything.

Orthopox: I do hope you realize that my abilities are not infinite. My body may be more capable than that of a typical Earthling, but overuse does drain me none-the-less.

We’ll be careful. Don’t worry.

Crawdaunt: Yawn. I tire of this menial task.

Why did you paint something so innocent and adorable, you evil mastermind?

Crawdaunt: Do not be deceived. This art is merely a ploy to get Sims to lower their defenses.

Maybe I did push Ortho too hard. He chose to stick around the lot after work and make drinks instead of coming home.

Orthopox: I don’t wish to speak with you now. I need, how you say, personal time.

Fair enough.

Vespiquen: Out of my way, mother.

Margaret: Respect your elders, daughter.

Crawdaunt: Fascinating. Thank you, mother and grandmother, for allowing me to witness this failed human interaction.

Margaret: All you people who voted for Quen instead of one of my nice sons should be ashamed of yourselves!

Careful, Mags. That didn’t go so well for the last Kanto who got addicted to the megaphone.

Vespiquen: UGGHHHH! STUPID MOTHER!!!

Wow. That’s quite the face.

With so many adults in the house, I don’t make the kids help out with their siblings that much. But sometimes they take the initiative on their own.

Foongus: We all know how dysfunctional our family is. We’re happy to help our sister turn out better.

Groudon: This big brudder is nice!

Typically, Scizor seems to love being a werewolf. And yet for some reason, she decided to complain about werewolf curse to Ling.

Scizor: I can’t believe you did this to me, Grandma Ling! Dealing with being a werewolf and going through puberty is too much for a girl to take!

Deerling: Cheer up, weird wolf girl. At least I protected you from the Fairy Lord’s grasp.

Scizor: By giving me over to Hircine?!

Scizor: Whatever, granny. You just don’t understand.

Deerling: No, I just don’t care.

Delibird: I love the smell of discord in the morning.

Ariados: What a beautiful corner. I’m drawn to this corner more than any other in the house.

Delibird: Take a picture, it’ll last longer.

Ariados: What a splendid idea! Then I’ll be able to lay in bed and stare at my corner instead of floating down here each time I wish to view it.

Delibird: There are a lot of freaks in this house, but she might take the cake.

Foongus: Hey baby sister! You’re just in time to see your mom’s garbage dancing.

Throh: I do not claim that woman as my mother.

Jammie: Just keep on dancing, Jam. They’ll accept you eventually.

We don’t see them together too much, but Quen and Ortho are still very much in love.

They have their fair share of romance, but they actually talk with each other more than any other Sims couple I’ve had. It’s nice.

Orthopox: And so that is how I perfected your Earth recipe using culinary skills from my home planet as well as a bit of science.

Vespiquen: I love when you talk shop with me, Ortho.

Of course, Ling isn’t giving up so easily.

Deerling: You’re looking fine as always, sexy alien.

Orthopox: Please, do not make me blush.

I would just like to show off these weird paintings Mimey painted during his attempt at mastering the skill.

Mr. Mime: Only by becoming a master painter will I be able to assure my family’s financial security.

Oh please, as if you haven’t been rich for generations now.

Ari had a school opportunity at the science lab, and she chose to swim there instead of taking a cab? At least she didn’t get glitched out of the water.

Ariados: The Glitch Gremlin and I have an understanding.

Crawdaunt: How unsightly. And she thinks she has the right to the great Kanto name?

Deli found her way to her grandpa’s bar while I wasn’t looking. Little lady looks like she can’t hold her liquor.

Delibird: What are you talking about? I’m sober as a….sober Sim. ~eye twitch~

These two are becoming horn-dogs in their old age. They both rolled the wish to increase their woohoo skill at the same time.

Foongus: Look at me, I’m an old person and I think I still have a woohoo drive.

Sometimes I forget he’s insane too. He doesn’t show it as much as Ari does.

Birthday time for Groudon!

She rolled vehicle enthusiast, adding to loves the outdoors and heavy sleeper. I dressed her kinda tomboyish. Maybe when she’s a teen she’ll get more of a biker chick makeover.

She has mostly Quen’s features, but she does have Ortho’s lips.

Her first skilling wish was to fish, so I sent her out with Gus to get started.

Foongus: You ready for some sibling bonding, baby sister?

Groudon: Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea…

Scizor is sent out hunting every once in a while. Since she doesn’t have a pack yet, she never comes back with much.

Crawdaunt: Fear me!

Ariados: Gasp! What was that?

How Ari managed to get scared from the front, I’ll never know.

Oh, werewolves. How you amuse me.

Ari finished her first sci-fi novel, and it was a big hit! Good job girl, most of my Sims’ first novels tend to flop.

Remember when Mimey was abducted at the start of the chapter? Yeah. Surprise!

I will likely regret this decision, but welcome to the family baby Zapdos.

Zapdos was born good and athletic. He likes indie music, ceviche, and the color violet and he’s a libra. It was probably a terrible idea for us to raise this baby, but I haven’t had an alien abduction baby since Deoxys and I kind of missed them.

Deerling: It was so nice of you to give my son another child to raise. I know it’ll keep him young and spritely at the end of his life bar.

Orthopox: I had nothing to do with that decision, but I’m glad it pleases you, my dear.

Groudon: Should we tell mom? Or maybe cook that home wrecker into a pie? Something?

Foongus: We’ve all just kind of learned to keep our heads down at this point.

Delibird: Stupid step-father…mother should have stayed with my dad. He was loyal enough to move to a new town with her, and he hasn’t been with another woman since.

True story.

You’re too late, Quen. That one’s not yours. Yours are all grown.

Vespiquen: Maybe I’m just feeling nostalgic for my younger days.

I guess her nostalgia can be excused. After all, another one of her kids is about to reach her teen years!

Throh: Yay, birthday!

Throh: Finally, I can begin to make my family of Plumbots who will never abandon me!

Her new trait is family oriented, adding to eccentric, genius, and bot fan.

Throh is 100% a Jammie clone. She’s still gorgeous though! That’s all for this chapter, everyone. An heir poll will be posted shortly after this! I’ll leave it open for a while so everyone who wants to vote will have a chance. Thanks so much for sticking with me, guys! I can’t wait to get this final generation underway!
