the bakelite legacy 6.3

[furbyq]

we start off with the most recent renovation of onyx, bismuth, and zircon's shared room. i think it turned out okay for how much build burnout i have lol.



jasper: wow that one doesn't even have a fucked up face like the other one

peter williams: how dare you, all of my children are beautiful angels



quilk impregnation successful! or so i would assume.



peter williams's hand gets stuck in the claw shape, like many a bakelite and bakelite spouse before him. it does look ominous though, doesn't it?





i have to say this house is always spotless thanks to professor kari and jasper's never-ending battle against filth and grime.



tucker: i don't even know this lady but i hate zombies so i guess i hate her



bookshelf lobotomy



the grandparents aren't useful for much other than skilling the toddlers. ofc i'm using smart milk, have you seen how many of these things there are?



the animation of the toddlers dancing to the radio is still so cute.





opal: want to play doctor?

endica: no thank you mrs. bakelite



primadonna: i'm so fucking hungry and this bar isn't helping

have you tried um. getting a drink instead of fusing with the counter?





primadonna is a more hands-on parents than endica and peter williams. she does a lot more autonomously than they do, and i can't even remember her aspiration but i'm pretty sure it's not family!



endica bolt stalks prima while she does this stuff though.



our girl jet becomes a child! she looks a lot like onyx but maybe with a different nose?



she's very glad her mom taught her how to talk. like super fucking psyched.





i don't want anymore kids after quilk's spawn so... uh... *birth controls up*



peter williams: yeah!! WOO!! YOU PISS GREAT SON!!



peter williams: sapphire?! in sapphire's bed?! how can this be



jasreen: hahaha, that baby passed out on the floor.

sapphire: maybe like... help him?

jasreen: no



so close yet so far.



vivi from the rainbow survivor challenge is perplexed by these two. she just stared at them for a bit.



professor kari: YOU MAGIVESTIGIUMING IS SO LOUD

jasper: what? i can't hear you my magivestigiuming is too loud



jasreen is still into talking to her plants. she spends HOURS doing it every day.



i had her greet this random townie in case i need spouse fodder later on. if jasreen even lives that long (foreshadowing??)



and then it was time for a party! we have kids to grow up. anniversaries to celebrate. idk these fuckers throw a lot of parties.



moonstone: can you move maybe a little to the left?

garnet: no but i can stand here and you can watch my ass



people are more concerned with garnet being a werewolf than the children they came to the party for. idiots.





oh yeah this happens some more. it sure does happen.



i hate it? i hate it. fucking romance sims and their love quadrangles.



i believe this is obsidian. nope, he didn't grow into his face.



tiberius barnacle there is literally a cake in front of you why are you eating chips



diamond, who has resting bitch face.



obsidian, who has resting face face.



and pearl! whose face still has the most tangled geometry out of the three. he might look identical to obsidian but i swear his cheeks are more fucked up.



peter williams: i need to go downstairs.

jasper: hold on, i need to call all of my kids one by one



help with homework pays off! primadonna is the only one with enough free time to teach her spawn any life skills.



i give zircon a different hair because i feel like it suits him better.



and then it was labor time! skylar is absolutely thrilled to be involved.



we get another black-eyed child that i choose to immediately age up. i'm tired of babies, man.



aaaaaaand he got the face. why would i think he would get any other face that this face that everyone has except diamond and zircon.



these brats are lucky that the face is strangely endearing and cute.



jasreen: maybe opal and i could move out into an apartment building or something to put less strain on the house.

you're not going anywhere.



diamond, pearl, and obsidian's room after a small makeover.



what in god's name is this icon and why have i never seen it before

i usually just get toilets as the icon for children's stories.





quartz and prima go on a date!! because quartz rolled a want. no, not a want to go on a date but...



this want. public woohoo.



everyone collectively lost their shit, even spinel who was visiting the lot.



even this tiberius, i can't remember which one he is, but he was there



onyx becomes a teen! and i sort of love her. she's a reliable firstborn.



thanks inaccessible beds for always working for me and never contorting my sims into exorcist-like nightmares oh wait



of course they had a dream date! they fucked in front of aunt spinel and tiberius IV, how is that not a dream date?



opal: i have many plans for this child. just wait.

i have no idea why anyone would choose pearl for anything but i guess here we are.

also diamond gets a portrait on the wall because he's my golden boy.



ROACHES. jet becomes infuriated with the things.



*aggressively sets acr's friendzone option*



endica doesn't help with practical skills, but she does teach her spawn how to excel at vido game



if el scorcho is a rockin don't come a knockin



rewinding banjo 2's age is important. because i almost forget it every time and then panic because she has a day left before becoming an elder.



i will never understand why the kibble of life doesn't touch hunger but smart milk does. am i alone in thinking either all aspiration rewards should effect motives or none should?



jasreen: did you know that beryl is dead?

jasper: no but i had my suspicions after not seeing her for 50 years.



obsidian: why doesn't father notice me

peter williams: *notices obsidian* shit why do i have so many sons



the duality of witches



look i just like onyx ok



diamond: i must study better than my brother... even though he must be able to see the lines of this book very well



obsidian finally gets dad time and diamond gets grandma time. diamond gives me the vibe of an overachiever with the wants he keeps rolling.



i forgot peter williams even had a job. but there he goes, bravely to dive where no one has dived before.







jasreen: there's a song on black sabbath's paranoid album called "rat salad" and you know what? that's metal as fuck.

opal: what do you think is in a rat salad?

jasreen: well, i would suppose rats.



quartz: hello

scarlet: hi

quartz: where did your hair go



glad to see that quartz and aki still have an agreeable relationship! that'll be good depending on how lazy i am.



quartz: politics

townie whose name i forget: wow! what a perfect topic for a first conversation.



quartz: look at them, they don't even know how tastefully metal the song "rat salad" is.



been a while since one of these. bring it on i guess.



primadonna: you saved my life and the life of my pork chops

firefighter: ma'am, i don't think you should eat those. they were on fire



it's child! you may be like "what's his name did you tell me did i miss it" but no. i can't remember what this little goofus's name is. i wanna say agate but i could be wrong.



goofus gets cuddles from his mom because his dad doesn't know he fucking exists



professor kari: so i had something important to discuss

jasreen: wow you sure are professor kari



sapphire: i think and feel absolutely nothing except the crushing ennui of existence



another update to the triplets' room. i think i added a desk to ease homework congestion.





and a photo of quartz's room. i can't get inaccessible beds to behave so every bed is sadly accessible and boring.



professor dawson dallas comes by and steals our paper. i have no clue what we did to him.





fun with alpha transparencies.





quartz: this corner sure is nice

primadonna: i can see right through you

quartz: ;)



diamond: uncle moonstone sure was nice.

banjo 2: HISSSS he is a paramour-pilfering NE'ER DO WELL



pearl does his homework in a bush. which i mean. follow your dreams i guess.



bismuth sees the problem, but chooses not to engage.



ever since adding mods that deplete my simoleon growth substantially, professor kari's income has been very useful and necessary but she sucks at managing her own energy need.





what the actual fuck story progression



endica doesn't set the kitchen on fire. she's talented.



peter williams: good news, lamppost! I GOT PROMOTED

lamppost: oh congratulations



quartz: let's see what did i do today? i went out, i remember that...



primadonna: you stood in the corner for hours very close to me

quartz: i did do that





professor kari: should one of us take the toddler out of here or...?

jasper: 1 2 3 not i-

professor kari: not it!

jasper: goddamn it *minus relationship*



child: *nervous giggling* not sure if i like this



quartz: that's my little demon child! yes it is!





onyx: i sure am fine! everyone will love me at university.

speaking of that, onyx will probably be sent away soon. she's not going to last the entire time it takes Mr. Face to grow into a teen.



and we end today's update with zircon hardcore gaming, because he's a badass gamer that stores his talent in his eyebrow bones.

no real idea when i'll get another update out right now, but hopefully before an entire year passes like last time.
