the bakelite legacy 5.3

[furbyq]

we start off with moonstone, who got a tiny makeover. his face is horrifically endearing.



i'm pretty sure jasper and kari have fucked in everyone's beds now. good for them!



professor kari: congrats on the upcoming baby!

sapphire: what? how could you tell? i literally just found out.

professor kari: i'm a knowledge sim. we're very astute.



for some reason, jasreen has gotten to this point where she communicates with jasper exclusively through bust-a-move.



jasreen: CHECK OUT THESE MOVES

jasper: why can't you just talk to me like a normal person?



jasreen: how was that?

jasper: what the fuck??



i mean there is some gossip here and there.



and then we're just. back to bust-a-move.



jasper: we're best friends now.

jasreen: yes!

jasper: stop busting-a-move at me. for the love of god.

jasreen: i make no promises.



rondie: i prefer this grandchild. its face is easier on the eyes.

amethyst: have we met? whomst?



amethyst just wants to be free so he can watch his parents sleep. that's not creepy or anything.

me: *tells him to go play the xylophone*

amethyst: no. i must watch



before sapphire and skylar's second child is born, i wanted to go ahead and have their wedding.

mainly so i can do some Extreme Canonical Bakelite Spare Management in the near future. and still have more pics of everyone.



yeah, there they are. the squad.

i'd like to point out that my formal section is a mess and most of these outfits are randomly assigned by the game, since they're defaults. what are the chances it would put coral in that dress?



sapphire: i have evil plans!

turquoise: at your own wedding?

sapphire: yes! i'm going to marry skylar and we shall never part. divorce lawyers shall despise me!



lapis: do you think this wedding is going to be trainwreck? or a travesty?

coral: disaster is always an option.

lapis: ah, yes. or a catastrophe. i should take bets.



the tradition of wedding sportsball games continues.



jasper: aquamarine is HOT.

i will slap the green right out of your hair i swear to fuckin christ



jasper: i'm way better than you. that's why i tried to absorb you in the womb.

topaz: that did not happen.

jasper: it totally did. i stole all your coolness.



jasper: i'll have you know i have like. three best friends.

topaz: oh, watch out, we got a badass over here.

lapis: *changes the channel off of sportsball*



topaz: is that like. a medieval tunic?

jasper: indeed it is. having magical powers, i constantly channel the energy of angry immolated witches from the 1200s.

topaz: that's actually neat. *plus relationship*



cinnabar: LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!

topaz: oh my god, are your legs okay?

jasper: WOO YEAH ALRIGHT



AND THEN IT WAS TIME. because we had a lot of visiting with opal and jasreen's wedding. this needs to move along.



garnet: you're in my seat.

topaz: i don't think we have assigned places.

garnet: first of all? how dare you.

sapphire: what the fuck? just pick another seat.



garnet: the wedding is ruined.

lapis: if only there was like. more chairs on the other side of the arch or something.

topaz: oh my god.

skylar: GOD I LOVE MY FIANCEE, SHE'S GOING TO BE MY WIFE OH MY GOD



lapis: don't say the wedding is ruined yet ☝️ it can always get worse

jasreen: EYYYYYYYYY



this part went pretty smoothly, which i appreciate. no romance sims here.



jasper: did i miss anything?

topaz: just your great-granddaughter GETTING MARRIED.

jasper: listen. i was busy



jasper: 1v1 me right now irl

topaz: get out of me

turquoise, lapis, and aquamarine: what the fuck is happening



aquamarine: heyyyy

jasper: go away, i'm watching the wedding.

aquamarine: the wedding is over, though?

jasper: go away



jasreen: topaz, i literally just made food.

topaz: yeah, i don't trust it.



jasper: wh. what. what the fuck??? no stop



jasper: listen, okay. i don't know what kind of impression jasreen gave you, but that's. that's not for me.

aquamarine: what? but all the signals were there!



jasper: i like you better as a great-great-granddaughter. it-- y'know-- it's complicated. you'll find somebody

aquamarine: my entire life is a lie



jasper: yeah you'll definitely find someone. have you considered bangs?

aquamarine: these signals are DEFINITELY mixed.



garnet: it's a good thing you have this mop. because these people are trash.

harsh bro. also stop interacting with the gnome mop please.



aquamarine: GIVE ME THE MAGIC WAND

jasper: NO. NEVER. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU

aquamarine: DAMN IT, GRANDPA JASPER.



for some reason, vivec showed up. and i didn't even invite her.

for reference, she's topaz's daughter and i brought her over from the old save because she's purdy.



jasper: hey, zombie wife. whom i love and adore.

professor kari: what did you do this time?

jasper: i have no clue what you mean.



aquamarine: *aspiration failures hard*



aquamarine: THESE HANDS. THEY SHOULD BE FISTS. AND I SHOULD BE WRIST DEEP BY NOW BRO

i support your dreams but not your choices.



opal decided to have her baby during the wedding reception. that's always great.



coral: oh my goodness!!!!!

skylar: could you not be so excitable behind me while i am also excitable?



baby! this is quartz. who is thus far, the only child of gen six with blonde hair.



literally everyone had to come to see. and believe me, it was a lot.



vivec: who are literally any of these people? that one dude looks a lot like uncle jasper so i assume they are related.

you're technically related to all of them.

vivec: ........dear god



aquamarine: oh, mr. mop, you're the best boyfriend EVER.

turquoise: this? terrible. not okay

skylar: I AGREE

cinnabar: yeah this baby is CRAZY

jasper: i will pay you to do something about aquamarine.

coral: i'm not touching that. good luck.



for some reason, opal having her baby pushed the party rating way up to a Good Time. i guess i won't question it.



jasper: DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A "GOOD TIME" TO YOU???

jasreen: objectively yes.

jasper: shut the fuck up.



jasper: you need to get your life together. or go try topaz. either one. he's a little beta renfair nerd, not an ALPHA like me.



jasper: oh, yeah, before i forget.

opal: wow magical powers! :D

jasreen: i'm also here.

jasper: i refuse to acknowledge your existence. you repulse me.



moonstone is weirdly well-adjusted for the spawn of a demon and her great-grandniece.



jasreen's face is so distorted that the inside of her mouth doesn't even, pick up the inner mouth texture on her skin.

it's just like a blackhole from which there is no escape.



peridot: i love being old and not having to worry about nuclear war in xanadu.

rondie: to be fair, at least two of our grandchildren already look like they've been in a fallout.

peridot: rondie, that is so rude. but so correct.



opal: grrrr i don't agree with that move.

moonstone: what if i moved this, here, instead

opal: GRRRR I DON'T LIKE THAT EITHER



i can't remember why jasreen was on the trampoline. it was probably of her own volition.

she's like a trust fund child/trust fund spouse, so skilling isn't really necessary.



peridot: can you move faster

professor kari: excuse you, i am a zombie



we have very child-appropriate art in bakelite house.



sapphire: SKYLAR THE BABY IS COMING

skylar: i literally just laid down

sapphire: it's TIME



skylar: jesus fucking christ okay i'm up

sapphire: AAAAAAAAAAA

skylar: i don't see why i have to be up for this, it isn't even twins

sapphire: SKYLAAAAAAAAAR



another baby! named druzy. who seems to have the same genetics as amethyst except with skylar's skintone instead of sapphire's.



skylar: i'm at least gonna make the bed first before i acknowledge the baby

sapphire: skylar can you hold this baby so i can slap skylar



jasreen gets fit in the bedroom. i'm not even going to comment on that one.



jasreen: check out this funky move!

peridot: whoa. damn. that's funky.

jasreen: thank you.



there is no lack of fun-increasing objects around these parts, but rondie still plays in the bathtub.

i guess i'll just let him do it. he seems to be having fun. just. less fun over a longer period of time.



jasreen: hey, son, nice nightgown.

moonstone: thanks, mom.

jasreen: i'm gonna eat these bills.

moonstone: maybe don't do that.



sapphire: yeah my wedding was slightly more of a disaster than opal's, so naturally, i win.

aquamarine: i'm never going to get married :(

sapphire: remember your thing with unicorn centaurs? that was pretty funny

aquamarine: how dare you bring up one of my many future husbands without my consent



jasreen: yeah, mom, skylar is painting. it's average.

skylar: i will strangle you to death with my paintbrush.

jasreen: good LUCK controlling a paintbrush that well.



professor kari, with her (probably) 10 creative skill points, paints sapphire's portrait. or new portrait or. i can't fuckin remember. but that's definitely sapphire.



i would be worried, but opal is actually just getting fat after eating a second plate of porkchops and not signalling the development of more hellspawn.



it's just not a bakelite update if some of them don't huddle around the mortal kombat 3 machine menacingly at least once.



peridot rolled a want to write a novel, and who am i to deny her that wish. even though it takes for-fuckin-ever. and there's no progress bar. there's only the false hope creativity progress bar, that i sometimes forget and assume is the novel progress bar. only to be soul-crushingly wrong.



moonstone and amethyst do alright in school. not above average, not below. i still have no clue how grades work in the sims 2 and at this point, twelve years in, why question it?



rondie: mailbox, i didn't get promoted! but that's alright, it was still a good week.

mailbox: pfft, come back when you have news that really wows me.

rondie: damn you, unimpressed mailbox.



jasreen: it's screaming again.

perhaps you should do something about that?



jasreen: ah, yes. you shove things into the screaming hole to make it stop. i see. i have learned.



jasreen: i don't feel qualified for taking care of sapphire's cubs.

amethyst: indeed you shouldn't. my desires are much more complex.



amethyst had a birthday! look at his face.



i know elder sims naturally have their schedules fucked with, but rondie goes downstairs at like, 2 am every night to specifically play the mk3 machine. this is getting out of hand. again.





skylar: listen, i know you're like, talking... but i gotta get at that mortal kombat.

peridot: IF ANYONE IS GETTING AT IT, IT'S GOING TO BE ME. WHY DO YOU THINK I'M TALKING TO HER?



druzy cries less than quartz, but she still definitely does. cry. a bunch.



i don't know what my favorite part of this image is. jasper literally sprinting to take out the trash or that picture of spinel's frozen face on the wall. decisions, decisions.



jasper: get out of the bathroom.

rondie: yeah? oh, hi turquoise. yeah, i can talk now. what's up?







jasreen why isn't this want cleared, you are literally playing chess.

jasreen: I WANT TO PLAY CHESS. BUT MORE



sapphire and opal's heir pictures are done. tbh i don't care nearly as much about the paintings as i did at the beginning. i even had opal painted in her pjs. i give no fucks.



amethyst: i'm having no fun and i hate it.

peridot: we'll show you some fun.

professor kari: you ever heard of golden girls?



peridot: this is the best show ever!

professor kari: i agree!

peridot: did we just become best friends?

amethyst: i choose to keep my eyes closed. for i do not want to see this



professor kari: no, not like that. more like-- goddamn it, bea arthur is blasting off into outer space.

amethyst: what?

professor kari: i'm multitasking. keep painting.



i don't know why moonstone chooses to do his homework in the darkest room in the entire house. where for some reason, lamp light will not touch the walls even when i fill the room full of them.

i choose not to question either of these things.



quartz had a birthday! and she's terrifying. no. stop.



why are you coming upstairs to serve skylar porkchops at moonstone's desk?

peridot: the man is near hunger and sleep motive failure. give him a break.



peridot: there you go, hon.

skylar: thanks, mrs. bakelite.

peridot: this pork chop will cushion your face if you pass out.



jasper: i want to play mortal kombat.

skylar: i'm already playing.

jasper: don't make me put my crab hands on you.



quartz is weirdly cute when she's in this outfit. ngl.



rondie: would you like to go skiing with me, peridot?

peridot: sometimes it's hard to ski when there's snow on the alps.

rondie: are we talking about the same thing?



amethyst is very aerodynamic and this wall is trying to eat his bed. that's just how his life is right now.



peridot: gasp! i have an idea. for my novel. that i'm still writing. and i'm going to finish.



skylar does a lot of things but like. i don't know what to say about all of them. just look at him.



random townie: FUCK THE MAILPERSON.

mailperson: wat



random townie: this TRASH reminds me of MAILPERSON. whom i HATE.

mailperson: i don't understand. do we know each other?



opal there's food in the dining room. premade. preprepared.

opal: i got a craving that only a sip of milk and random blobs of food can satisfy.



opal: wow, what an impressive gnome bucket. what if i was to... touch this bucket.

the pit was jasper's thing. but i'll bring it back, i swear to god.



skylar: do you have any handcuffs we can borrow?

opal: what you think because i'm married to my monstrous great great parent sibling that i'm some kind of freak?

skylar: absolutely.

opal: ...what size do you need?



peridot: this is a big call. breathe, peridot, it'll be okay... hello?

opal: your book is going to bomb.



peridot: WHAT NO

opal: i told you. you wrote about vampires and it's current year, not 2008.



this delivery person makes me feel weird because her clothes and skin match. i thought i'd share.



yes, peridot. read "gay vampire book" to your toddler grandchild.



at this point, i realized i had forgotten to re-add banjo. so i looked really closely at her pictures and remade her likeness.

listen. ok. my eyes aren't great



jasper: does. does banjo have wings?

i'll have you know her name is banjo 2, and she does, in fact, have cat wings.

jasper: i see.



professor kari: something's going on, can i smell your back.

rondie: what the fuck



what. what? there's no one in the kitchen what

did the stove spontaneously combust i don't

BANJO 2 WHAT DID YOU DO



banjo 2: shit, that's a fire. i'm gonna fly away.

GET BACK HERE AND CONFESS TO HAVING PYROKINETIC ABILITIES



goddamn it i just gave them this cat



sapphire: my cat went missing. what does she look like? where do i start...? wings. ...yeah, i'll hold.



jasreen's call didn't have anything to do with banjo 2.

also i should clarify banjo 2 didn't actually start the fire. it was always burning since the world's been turning.

hehe just kidding. it was jasper. "retrieve fuckin pork chops" was in his post-fucking-professor-kari queue.



we'll end this update with druzy becoming a toddler because she's adorable and she is categorizable as a bakelite i would not put in a pit. 10/10 no pit required.

Comments

[(Anonymous)]

No no no. Her name should be "Banjo Tooie!" XD

Anyway, this update was worth the wait. I'm torn between wanting to see Druzy Quartz as heir now. I think Quartz' black eyes really helps her face.

[hotaruthodt]

Crap I didn't realize that I wasn't logged in. That was me in the comment above. >.<

And that should be "Druzy or Quartz".

[furbyq]

dreamwidth is really bad about randomly logging out and tbh i don't understand it. XD

you're right that banjo tooie would've been a better name for banjo 2! i should've considered that.

i'm glad you liked the update!! tbh i'm also torn between who to choose, i was already having trouble picking between moonstone and amethyst and now i have twice as many candidates. hopefully i'll figure it out, if not i may end up doing an heir poll.

[hotaruthodt]

Well, it's not too late to consider it. A poll would also be interesting. Would you be willing to do double heirs again?

Also, in my hood look who decided to make like Dion Wariwck and walk on by:

[furbyq]

i probably would be willing to do that, opal and sapphire have been interesting. i'm honestly not sure what my voter turn out would be. if only four people read this legacy and each of them voted for a different heir candidate, i might be in trouble.

that is exactly how mawreen snuck into my legacy. XD i'm pretty sure she walked by and i moveobjects'd her into the pit with jasper.

[hotaruthodt]

Well, you'll have my vote. I've really been enjoying the antics of the Bakelites. I've been reading since the beginning...I just lurk a lot. ^.^;

Yeeeeah...Mawreen's not joining any of my households anytime soon (at least I hope not anyway). I don't think I've ever seen her on a community lot and that pic was taken (when I was thinking townifying some of my Good Genes Chalenge sims) the second time I've ever seen her.

[furbyq]

yeah!! i understand, i've lurked on a lot of legacies too. i'll definitely consider the poll.

i honestly don't blame you ^^; i can't imagine what my legacy would've been like if i'd moved mawreen in. it makes a lot sense she'd be lurking near good genes challenge sims. XD

[hotaruthodt]

Not to mention I feel like I WCIF...a lot. But yes, a poll would be great.

Well you know I was hoping Mawreen would actually move in, but I was glad to see Preofessor Kari return. I wonder if it could work to see Professor Kari as an adult again, but still remain a zombie. :P
Mawreen needs to stay away from my Good Genes sims. I worked really hard to get those good genes.
