Beaker-Villareal

Ada Beaker (36) - Max Villareal (34) - Lise (7)

With a mother who loves science and a father who loves crime (and both with dastardly traits) - what will become of Lise? Will going to school make her learn to play nice, or will she walk in the footsteps of her more unscrupulous ancestors?

Max Villareal

It's not as if Max grew up in anything resembling a normal family. What had happened to his mother? What did his father actually do for a living?

Honestly, Max had never cared for the mother-part. She had probably left them. His father had always insinuated that Luna resembled her, and Luna was such an airhead - so probably their mother had been too. And Hugo wasn't much better either.

The work part however, had always intrigued Max. And his father had noticed. Slowly, he had let Max understand what a life of crime could actually mean. Sadly, Max had quickly outgrown his father's ambitions. When Jacques passed, it had been years since they spoke.

See, Jacques was a crime lord of the old times. Sure, mafia methods still worked - but Max had learned that by using technical skill and methods, you could find out so many of people's secrets. And use them against them.

Regretfully, this had for a while made Max a pretty lonely man. Sure, he had dated, and he still remembers that woman he met when he was spending time in Sulani (she must've been a mermaid! What a creature she was!) - but few women understood his genius.

Until Ada.

Now, he is only hoping her genius side keeps her focused. She doesn't have fully the unmoral character that he himself has...

Ada Beaker

Her parents don't talk much about their background. Her father, she understands, has lost his parents young and there isn't much to tell.

But her mother? There is a story there. Ada heard the word Strangetown once, and remembered it. Only years later did she find anything about it, but still there is much she doesn't understand. Something about a lab being blown up? Something about people having to relocate, and many had died? Her mother gives no answers. Now and then Ceres had talked about her father but only in passing. Saying that he was a great scientist, ready to sacrifice everything for science.

Sometimes, those stories had scared Ada. But early on she had learned the powers that lie in understanding the world around her. So no, her mother might not have been the one to whom you would ask for bedtime stories, but she had taught Ada a great deal on how to get anywhere in life.

And so, Ada was now a very good scientist.

And while getting there, she had met Max. He was charming, and she was surprised to find that he was single. He told her that thus far he hadn't met a woman who fully understood him, and his visions. Ada could recognize this feeling. She had tried to make friends when she was younger, but most teens seemed to enjoy getting drunk more than to focus on their studies. Ada never really dated, before Max.

They quite quickly fell in love, got married and had their Lise. Sometimes she sees sides in Max that makes her doubt, yet she can't help but to appreciate his focus and drive. And, her mother approves of him. So he has to be the right for her, right?

Lise Beaker-Villareal

She might only be seven years old, but Lise is no fool. From an early age, she has been taught to experiment and find answers.

And she's good at both. Her own mother might not know the family secrets, but Lise quickly learned how to find things at the darkest parts of the internet. And with a father who loves secrets, Lise is a bit surprised to find that he hasn't covered the tracks of his own. Sure, she doesn't yet fully understand everything she reads - but she is smart enough to know that she doesn't come from a family of fools, or one that lacks ambitions.

Well, apart from those cousins in Windenburg and those in San Myshuno that father speaks so lowly of.

So now, Lise just has to get through school. Apparently, it's a necessity if one wants to get the good jobs.

And oh, she has to learn how to ride a bike. It's good for independence. (and it looks like fun...)

The house is new Orleans Family House by PlumbobKingdom over at the gallery. And they're playing the fantastic Cluedo by @surely-sims!

💕 just thinking about astra & ada 💕

do you have any idea how happy i was when i rolled these two's gender preference? astra is pascal's only child (atm) and she grew up happily in the bustling curious household along with her uncles + vidcunds alien triplets. it was chaos but they were happy.

ada, on the other hand, was circe's mini-me growing up. they have the same personality, the love for science and wanted to excel in the medicine career. that is, what she made her parents believe. y'see, ada isn't the knowledge sim that her parents wanted. (nor is her twin sister annie, whom rebelled early-on) but ada kept up appearances.

she concentrated on her studies, did biology at university, she was a good girl.

that was until, she met astra.

astra was not raised to be anything other than herself, it was just pure coincidence that she was a lot alike her family (fucking nice). it took many years of their friendship-then-romance for astra to bring ada out of her shell, to make her realize that being a primary-popularity sim is a-okay. now, ada is working her way up the politics career despite her parent's dismay, but it's alright... soon she'll be a curious and they are happy to have her, as is.

What I think Sims 2 premades full legal names are . Base game Edition

Other wise know as what I think characters middle names are. Notes will be given when I want to.

Also the Monty’s aren’t included because I don’t think they have middle names.

Pleasantview

The Brokes

Brandi Lynn Broke

Bernard “Skip” Broke ; I think skip is called skip because he’s names after his grandfather so the name Skipped a generation hence skip.

Dustin Jacob “Dusty” Broke

Beau Thomas Broke

Skipper James Broke “Skip. Jr”/unborn baby broke ; Skipper is named after his dead father

The Calientes

Dina Lyra Caliente

Nina Faye Caliente

Lyra and Faye l are space references. Lyra is the smallest constellation and Faye is a comet

The Dreamers

Derren Seth Dreamer

Darleen Lucy Dreamer

Dirk Bramwell Dreamer; Darren and Darleen are creative types so I think they are pulling the most random middle name.

The Goths

Mortimer Gunther Goth

Bella Maria Goth

Cassandra Marie Goth

Alexander Mortimer Goth

Don Jonathan or Donathan Lothario

The Pleasants

Daniel Marshall Pleasant

Mary-Sue Pleasant

Angela Mary Pleasant

Lilith Elizabeth Pleasant

The Burbs

John Burb

Jennifer Natalie Burb

Lucy Gace Burb

Kaylynn Rose Langerak

Strangetown

The Beakers

Loki Halfdanarson Beaker; Halfdanarson is his mom maiden name

Circe Athena Beaker; I think Circe has 2 very powerful names and I think they both work in her favor

Osiris Edward Specter “Nervous Subject” ; depicted what the sims 3 wants to think I don’t think Nervous Subject is his legal name. I think it’s a name he responds to and is ok going by. But I think Nervous legal name is Osiris after the Egyptian death because he’s Olive Specters son she would love a good death reference.

The Curious Brothers

Pascal Clermont Hogleg Curious; Pascal Chose his own name so it doesn’t fit super well with the rest

Vidcund Fausto Hogleg Curious

Lazlo Gabriel Hogleg Curious

Tycho Paul Curious; Paul is after his best uncle

The Grunts

General Buzz Anderson Grunt

Lyla Florence Grunt

Tank Nolan Grunt

Ripp Wesley Grunt

In my head Lyla wanted her boys to have softer names but Buzz rather they has strong and agressive names so Lyla made he name choices for her sons there middle names

The Smiths

Pollination Tech#9 “Poul” Smith

Ginebra “Jenny” Diana Hogleg Smith

Johnathan “Johnny” Gem Curious Smith

[trolltitan]

I mean I kinda don't know of a single guy who's ever said this in my personal life or around my circle...but I am too autistic to let it slide if someone did I would low-key just start listing off names like Marie Curie, Rosalind Franklin, Ada Lovelace, Barbara McClintock, Jane Goodall. Man or woman I don't care, I respect the fields of scientific academia too much to let that shite slide...in fact scientifically illiterate people in general are the turn off for me, it has nothing to do with anything else...the ones that can mix up!? Brains are hot. What you got in that beaker there science lady?!

:) has spoken!👑🎙

men be like "if women are really that intelligent, why are all major discoveries made by men? 🤓" as if they didn’t quite literally burn women alive if they were smart back in the day

[batratcatman]

Hmm, Vanny looks she barely grip the potion bottles

“Oh, they totally can be! That’s why I’ve gotten some help from Ada! Magic ain’t my style, but I won’t say know to enchanted beakers that can give my fingers a break sometime!”

[simsterlyrock]

Then they switch.

[flamingtoads]

[stars-hide-your-fires]

You know what. I’m starting a new aesthetic, population me.

Romantic Science, AKA Dark Academia for STEM people.

Thrifting a lab coat and embroidering it with your initials and a little insignia, whose significance is known to you and your lab partner only

Watching The Theory of Everything and The Imitation Game and Hidden Figures and basically every movie about historical scientists and mathematicians you can find

Decorating your desk with old slide rules and vintage lab equipment. Your prize possession is a set of vintage lenses you found at a thrift store

Wanting an articulated human skeleton far, far too much

Getting a set of (brand new, NOT thrifted, be safe ppl) beakers to drink from, and putting them directly onto your stovetop to boil water for tea or coffee, because borosilicate glass can survive anything.

Secretly relating far too much to Henry Jekyll and Victor Frankenstein, because you too want to do a gay little science experiment that challenges god.

Thunderstorms and late nights in the lab, the light of the Bunsen burner glistening off of your flasks and scribbled chalkboard equations

Papering your walls with vintage scientific diagrams; even if you know that our understanding of the world has evolved since they were made, looking back at scientific history is amazing

Writing code late at night and feeling, in some metaphysical way, as though Ada Lovelace herself is with you in spirit

Being far, FAR too obsessed with the concept of emergent ai sentience and how it has the potential to be Frankenstein irl

Looking through a telescope on clear nights, whispering the names of the constellations and stars, painting a star chart on your ceiling in a burst of creative inspiration

Collecting and mounting samples from everywhere you can think of to pore over in an antique microscope

Bringing a field journal wherever you go, learning how to draw and label botanical samples, preserving plants and flowers for study later

Dreaming of what undiscovered mysteries lie in the deepest depths of the sea, feeling the thrill of discovery whenever you learn about a new species and one day hoping to discover one yourself

Just. Romanticise STEM.

Curious-Beaker-Marlow

Tia Marlow by BoyanaSimsYT (78) - Maximiliano Curious-Beaker (85)

Deceased: Marie Curious-Beaker

Maximiliano and his sister had always lived together, even when he married Tia. Tia and the twins created a big pharmaceutical company and the couple now enjoy a very good retirement.

Sadly, Marie passed away a few years ago - but somehow she doesn't seem to be completely gone?

Maximiliano Curious-Beaker

Maximiliano and Marie never knew their parents. They were adopted away at a young age by a woman who “shared their parent’s values”.

And so, he and his sister had been raised to be the best scientists. According to the woman who took them in, this was what their parents believed in. At the age of 12, the siblings were sent to boarding school to "perfect their skills". When they graduated at 20, they were orphans again.

Maximiliano and Marie took care of each other. They both reached top of their careers as scientists, but then Marie's brain slowly gave up. The last years, she wasn't fully with them anymore.

Marie had never dated, but Maximiliano had. He had met Tia early in his career. She was good at businesses and managed to use his research and knowledge to eventually create a big pharmaceutical company. And they raised a family! Now, their daughter Alma lived just across the road from them with her own family.

Maximiliano also became good friends with the Beaker family that moved in 30 years ago. They, at least Ceres and their daughter Ada, seemed equally interested in the sciences. And he had to give it to Ceres - she was very skilled.

(Maximiliano and Marie are twins born out of an extra-marital affair between Circe Beaker and Vidcund Curious. This makes these twins step-siblings to Atom and Ceres - who are Loki Beaker's clones. And they are cousins of Johnny, Jill and Tycho. But Maximiliano doesn't know that.)

Tia Marlow

Tia is a very good businesswoman. Even tough they are both well beyond retirement, Tia is still very active in their company. She did build it up, after all.

Initially she found it weird that her husband did not want to leave his sister, but the more she got to know the twins the more she understood. They were all they had left and had always looked out for each other.

This focus on family suited Tia very well, and she has been very happy to have had their daughter Alma close even as she started her own family. Now, their grandson has just turned 20 and Tia can't help but to hope that he might be more interested in taking over the family business, more so than his mothers...

[fallout4reactsblog]

How do you think the companions celebrated Christmas before meeting sole? (Not sure if I already sent this or not, but if I did go ahead and ignore this one.)

Ada: Ada was not much for Christmas before meeting sole. Jackson and the rest of the caravan crew would sometimes have a small celebration, where they would drink and relive the memories of past years, but seeing as she was unable to drink, she mostly stuck around for the reminiscing. She always did enjoy it, though, seeing her friends laugh late into the night, and those are memories she has always treasured.

They would often pass out around the fire, and she would make sure they were taken care of, tucking them into their sleeping bags and covering them with coats and blankets and stoking the fire. She’d be a little smug at their hungover condition the next morning, but always have breakfast made and plenty of water ready to help the headache.

Every Christmas afterward, she always takes some time to reminisce about those times, as a gesture of respect for them.

Cait: Cait probably never celebrated Christmas. Her parents definitely wouldn’t have shown her or had a tradition of gift-giving. The slavers most certainly wouldn’t have shown her any kindness around this time of year. Cait probably grew up with a deep-seated resentment for the holidays, since they were supposed to be a time for family and happiness, neither of which she had in abundance.

With the raiders, she only saw Christmas as a time where she could rake in a few extra caps, because people were a little more drunk and a little more liberal with their betting. Safe to say that before she met sole, Cait had no celebration of Christmas, and had no interest in one, either.

Codsworth: With sole’s family before the war, Codsworth loved Christmas. He loved the company and the cooking and the holiday spirit that surrounded everyone. It was always a joy to trim the tree and hang a few sprigs of mistletoe with sole’s spouse to surprise them. He especially appreciated that they would always get him something like a nice buff or a new tool to help with the cleaning.

After the bombs drop, he still has the Christmas protocols, but it’s just not the same. No tree, no family, no holiday spirit in the air. He ends up just hanging a stocking on Christmas so the protocol is technically fulfilled and then taking it down the very next day so that he doesn’t have to think about the better days.

Curie: Curie would celebrate Christmas with the scientists before the war, except they always celebrated on Christmas Eve so that the scientists could spend the 25th with their families. They would all get together and do a little Secret Santa game and drink eggnog out of sanitized beakers.

After they died, Curie didn’t really celebrate Christmas. It was just another day for her, though it did feel a bit more melancholy. She missed having her human companions around for the season, missed their excited chattering about what they were getting friends or spouses or children. It was one of the more painfully lonely parts of the year for her.

Danse: Growing up, he had a small celebration where he and his friends would try to scrounge up gifts for each other. However, being poor, there wasn’t much to go around, so it was always a rather useless gift, the idea being that it was the thought that counted more than anything. Someone was thinking of you, that was what mattered.

After joining the Brotherhood, that changed entirely. Suddenly, there were things he could actually afford, and the Brotherhood would always do a gigantic game of Secret Santa or White Elephant to put the adults in the holiday spirit. Each of the older knights or paladins would also be assigned a young scribe to be “Santa” for. On Christmas Eve, the kids would hand a stocking off the edge of their bed frame, and their assigned adult would fill it with whatever they thought the kid might enjoy. Danse loved Christmas in DC. It changed when they got to the Commonwealth, and became a more serious, less celebratory time, which he always slightly resented.

Deacon: With Barbara, Deacon absolutely loved Christmastime. They’d decorate one of the trees in their backyard with tinsel and berries and call it their Christmas tree, they’d hang stockings over the fire, they’d even scrounge up something that vaguely resembled mistletoe to put over the door. He loved to get her gifts, and was always excited for Christmas morning to watch her open them. His gifts were always perfect and much appreciated.

After her death, Deacon wasn’t excited about Christmas. Anything he tried to do to get in the spirit just made him feel empty and miss her more. He stopped celebrating the holiday for a while, to avoid missing her so much. When he joined up with the Railroad, he started getting back into the spirit of things, but never to the same degree as before.

Gage: His family on the farm would always make a big meal to celebrate Christmas, but it’s been so long since then that he hardly remembers it. The park, unfortunately, had an automated Christmas protocol where all the lights would go red and green and Christmas carols played from the speakers instead of the Nuka-Cola jingle all the time. The variety was always appreciated for the first few days, but by the time Christmas actually rolled around he’d be counting the days until the jingle would come back.

As far as celebration, the raider gangs always had a shockingly good time. They’d have a huge party and get blackout drunk, then wake up the next morning and try to figure out what on Earth they had gotten up to last night.

Hancock: Goodneighbor is the pinnacle of fanatic Christmas spirit. Hancock makes sure to get the whole place decked out with wreaths, trees, and lights everywhere. He wears a ridiculous pre-war Santa hat that’s a little singed on the edges, and coaxes Fahrenheit into wearing one, too, despite her protests. They have a huge countdown clock in the square, and when it’s finally Christmas day the whole town erupts into the biggest party ever. Hancock is wearing a fake beard and handing out bottles of booze and chems with bows as presents, and everyone gets drunk off their asses and has the time of their lives. Magnolia sings Christmas carols in the Third Rail everyone drunkenly sings along, and overall it’s a great time had by all except the unfortunate soul who has to clean up the mess in the morning.

MacCready: Little Lamplight really liked Christmas. It was a time for sweets and games and as much sugar as you could possibly cram into your body at once. It was a good time, if not very healthy.

He and Lucy always had a small celebration with a few gifts and a nice meal, but never any decorations or anything. It was nice and quiet, as long as it was just the two of them. When Duncan came into the picture, things changed. They went all out with decorations and the spirit of the holidays, and that kiddo absolutely loved every second of it.

After Lucy died and Duncan got sick, Christmas became downright miserable for MacCready. All it did was remind him of happier times, so he pulled down his hat and pretended not to see the decorations or hear the carols or acknowledge anything about the holiday. He cried a lot around that time of year, and smoked a lot more than usual, and denied he’d ever been emotional by the New Year.

Nick: Diamond City always decks the halls around Christmas, and the holiday finds Nick, without fail, holed up in the agency. He’s really not big on Christmas, because the old Nick was so excited about it. He and Jenny would always have a party with all their friends and relatives, and the holiday season just pulls all that old pain back to the surface.

The only celebration he has is a gift exchange with Ellie. She always gets him a pre-war tie that she’s managed to find in good condition, and he finds a piece of jewelry to exchange with her. Despite his protests, she always stays in with him during the general Diamond City revelry. She says she’d rather be in with him than out in the noise and chaos anyway.

Old Longfellow: The last twenty Christmases Old Longfellow has spent drunk out of his mind, and not in any good way. It’s an ugly, face-down sobbing on the floor kind of drunk as he realizes how lonely he truly is. He thinks of his lost wife and child, how this holiday should have been spent with them, how he’s probably going to be alone for the rest of his life now. Everyone knows better than to try to venture out to his cabin on the 25th, and most will avoid it all season long, just to be on the safe side.

Piper: Piper absolutely adores Christmas. She publishes a regular countdown in the paper, helps set up the city decorations, you name it. It’s honestly her favorite time of year. She and Nat always exchange gifts, and she tries to get her sister as many presents as possible. They make a fake tree out of newspaper that they’ve glued grass onto and prop it up in the corner of their house.

The day of, Piper curls up with a mug of tea and sits with her sister and opens gifts. There’s never much, but the time spent with Nat is, of course, the best gift of all. She’s always a little melancholy, because unlike Nat she can remember the years they spent Christmas with their parents, but she tries not to let it affect her. After all, it’s Christmas, and that’s a time for happiness and joy.

Preston: Christmas with the Minutemen was always fun when Preston was younger. They’d decorate the Castle and sing Christmas carols, and always have a Secret Santa game that they took a little too seriously. Most everybody ended up with fusion cells, anyway, but it was fun to try to dig information out of your partner’s friends to see what they really wanted. It brought the Minutemen together, made the whole group feel like family, and Preston always liked that.

With the Quincy survivors, however, Christmas kind of fell out of Preston’s focus. The Longs always spent it alone, and Mama Murphy did the same, though she’d never say why. It was usually just him and Sturges. They’d sit around and talk about this and that. Sturges would ask about the upcoming Kwanzaa, he’d ask about Hannukah, depending on if it was over or ongoing or what. It wasn’t quite the same, and he missed that feeling of having a big family gathering.

Strong: Super mutants never celebrated Christmas, though Strong will insist he knows what it is and has celebrated it before. No matter what, he’s unusually quiet around the holiday season. Just don’t mention it, because he’s strangely defensive about the subject.

X6: Christmas is not something that’s officially observed by the coursers, and technically they’re not supposed to celebrate it at all. However, some of the early models saw the scientists having their party, and decided that they wanted one, too. So, on the 25th, all the coursers that are in the Institute sneak in boxes of Fancy Lads Snack Cakes and have the equivalent of a Christmas feast. It’s a time of year X6 strangely treasures. It’s the closest thing to family he’s ever had.

When Christmas rolls around and he’s out on a mission, he’ll still try to track down a box of snack cakes and have a mini celebration, sort of as a moment of solidarity with all his brothers and sisters he has to be away from. It’s a strange, private moment that they shouldn’t be allowed to have, but they’re coursers. They know how to be sneaky.

[agnapalace]

maybe the next one

Ashley peers down at Leon’s unconscious face. “You think he’ll be all right?” she frets, resisting the urge to prod and pull at his eyes to check if he’s still in this world.

The woman in red doesn’t even bother giving him a once-over. She’s more interested in the machinery gathering dust in the corner of the lab. “He’ll be fine. Wouldn’t you know, he’s been through worse.” Ashley’s gaze lifts from Leon’s face and follows the woman in red. With sleek black hair and sporting something she definitely recalls seeing in a past issue of Vogue, particularly the Dolce & Gabbana Spring 03′ runway, it’s hard to ignore her. Plus--Ashley can’t help but compare how put together she looks, to her own “went through hell, lost my designer blazer, and now my hair looks like shit” look.

“You’ve worked with him before,” she says.

The woman in red picks up an empty, broken beaker and appears to examine it. “A lifetime ago.”

She doesn’t want to leave Leon’s side for an instant, but her curiosity is getting the better of her. Still, she’ll hold strong.

“Thank you for saving us, from before,” Ashley says, unable to think of anything else to say.

She turns away from the trashed materials and regards Ashley, hands clutching the seat of the chair Leon is sprawled in so hard the blood has drained. The telltale signs of infection has gone. Ashley’s eyes are clear and bright but frightened yet clinging on to the last shred of hope.

“It would have made my life harder if I hadn’t,” was her reply.

“Will you, um, come with us? Leon, he’ll be...” Ashley begins, but the woman cuts her off with a look that says: No way, little girl.

“You’ll take care of him, won’t you?” The woman says. “He needs a friend.”   

“Well, what about you?” Ashley asks. “I, uh.. I think you’re so cool,” she blurts. “You’re your own person, you can defeat these guys... you shot the guy in charge of all this! That’s amazing! Also, if you ask me, I think you’re more than someone he worked with...maybe a friend? You have to leave with us. It’s only fair.” The woman’s mouth quirks. “Hah. Fair. You’d do well to learn the definition of that word.” She steps away from them, Ashley swiveling her head in her direction, a last ditch plead ghosting her lips.

“Miss--”

“It’s Ada. See you around, Ashley Graham.”

The name sugarcoats her lips. Ashley tries tasting it. She doesn’t even wonder why Ada knows her name.

Pagi-pagi udah kecipratan peroksida 20%. Aku safety lho. Cuma yaa maklumin aja. Jas labku udah 10 tahun haha. Jadi agak ngatung tangannya. Terus asemnya pas buka tutup si botol tuh kok cipratnya ke bagian yg kebuka.

Untung sampe saat ini g kenapa-kenapa.

Udah kena peroksida, karena 18 sampel, peroksidanya labil, jadi harus dikerjain cepet. Kejar-kejaran waktu. Belom lagi harus ngganjel membran, terus nutupnya kadang handscoonya suka kesangkut diantara botol sama tutup.

Udah beres gitu harus bungkus si botol lagi pake alufo. Biar nggak ads gangguan lain kaya cahaya. Terus dimasuki ke loker pula wkek. Rempong. Bahu, tangan, sama ketekku pegel karena harus satsetsatset.

Beres ngerjain, kok yo nggak sengaja jatuhin beaker glass 50mL. Aseem aseem. Lab masih agak sepi. Terus adik-adik ya mingkem aja, nggak riweh. Tak beresin. Untung pas gitu tuh lagi gda keinginan self harm juga.

Udahnya ketojos jarum pentul. Ntap betul, ada-ada aja. Akhirnya ke psikolog jam 8.45. emang tadi ngelab dari jam 6.45an karena ya itu, janjian sama mba meganya jam 9. Jadi yaa diusahakan bisa dikerjakan. Alhamdulillah bund, keburu.

Beres konseling balik ke kampus lagi. Ngelarin data Ea, terus dhuhur, trus bikin laporan ke Bapak. Tak kirim jam 2. Udah ngekonfirmasi ke Bapak, tapi bapak nggak bales dan nggak bilang minta ketemu jadi aku pulang aja.

Kepalaku mumet. Nyuynyitan gitu. Aku tuh abis konseling pasti nyutnyutan. Belom ketambah ngerjain data buat bapak pembimbing, nambah nyut-nyutan lagi pokoke
