Another chaotic morning in the Finch household.. 🤮

[steviewashere]

Playing the Sims 4 right now!

First and foremost, a lot to update on:

Steve and Eddie got married

Steve and Eddie had a child, her name is Olivia and she is the cutest little thing in the world

Robin and Nancy got engaged

They all live in their own apartments with their respective partners

Steve is still a retail worker (change impending—thinking of having him apply to college; he'll get better pay for certain jobs I have in mind for him)

Robin is changing her career from retail worker (not sure what yet though)

Nancy is a critic and writes opinion columns (closest thing I could get to journalism)

Eddie is a maintenance worker for the apartment complex they live in

Question though:

Should I have Eddie change his career now? I'm thinking freelance writer (which will put him at home with the kid, but also he can write novels and such on his own free time). The maintenance worker pay and hours are not good enough for their family; and also I really want them to settle somewhere with more room to get animals and have more children, etc etc.

Not making a poll, so....uh....just drop a yes or no in the notes or something?

Robin: Yeah. Oscar: Alright, free pass for being honest! Make a habit of it though, and I’ll find a way to piss you off. Robin: [snorts] Noted. Oscar: Boyfriend? Robin: Probably not? I don’t know, he’s in denial. Oscar: You’re clearly not-.. no big reveals planned? We could call a family meeting, throw a coming out party? Robin: [laughs] I just didn’t think you’d care-.. in a good way. Oscar: You know us so well. Robin: I guess I should tell mom. Oscar: Yeah, she’ll be miffed if she finds out you’re gay from me. Robin: Pan. Oscar: Whatever. Robin: [laughs] Yeah, whatever. [Oscar squeezed Robin tightly, tears of laughter threatening to become sappy dad tears; kids grew up way too fast]

Luckily, Celeste somehow sensed some fuckery was afoot despite being dead asleep, so she flew out the front door to confront the burglar. Rick Durwood also showed up for some reason, and the cats were very upset.

Sims In Bloom: Generation 2 Pt. 158 (The Custody Hearing)

Before he planned to travel through time, Felix Psyded, Esquire, found himself inside a courtroom on the outskirts of San Myshuno. Normally at ease inside the hallowed halls of law and justice, today his friends were depending on him. This hearing was more than a case.

Judge Robin Marlow took a seat at her mahogany oak desk, polished to perfection inside the closed courtroom. She would preside over the custody hearing to determine whether Ash would stay with the Landgraabs, or be returned to Heather and Conrad in Brindleton Bay.

The Landgraabs had a pair of lawyers - married attorneys Pete and Laura Sue. Felix thought they'd legally changed their name because their court record with successful lawsuits was astounding. No one that good at suing people could actually be named Sue!

Regardless of their real names, they were real pains in his formerly transparent butt. He was certain they'd withheld evidence from discovery, but the hearing had come up faster than he could dig and he had to trust his instincts. He knew Ash was in good hands with Heather and Conrad on a personal level, he just needed to convince the judge, too.

With the Landgraabs on one side and the Gordons on the other, Ash's fate rested in the hands of the people in this room. Heather had read somewhere that blue was a good colour to wear to court, so she'd ditched her usual yellow and green for a blue pantsuit, and Conrad wore a tie.

As the judge spoke, her voice echoed off the high ceilings of the courthouse. "We're here today examining the existing custody arrangement between Malcolm Chester Landgraab and Heather Lea Gordon, following some very serious allegations of child endangerment. Due to the sensitivity of this case and the notoriety of the plantiff, today's session will take place in a closed courtroom. And before we get started, I just want to say we're not here to determine the worst place for Ash to be, but the best. Will the opposing counsels please state their cases for the record?"

Laura Sue stepped forward with a grin. "Your Honour, thank you. Our clients want it known they only want the best for their flesh and blood. He shares their last name, after all. The custody arrangement that's been in place since Ash was a year old was a good arrangement. It allowed him close access to his mother in the early stages of his development, affording the loving father, Malcolm, basic access to his son. But our clients became gravely concerned after Ash's recent kidnapping turned out to be the result of time travelling cartel members seeking vengeance on Ash's stepfather, Conrad Gordon."

Judge Marlow smiled. "Please clarify for the courts what you mean by 'time-travelling.'"

"I would if I could, Your Honour. Our clients are concerned Ash's head has been filled with fantastical ideas about time travel and ghosts, and their fear is that all of this is due to the Gordons' overwhelming influence on Malcolm's own son."

Heather and Conrad glared across the courtroom, but Nancy wasn't afraid to arch her nasty brows right back, even as Geoffrey tried to quietly chastise her for it. The Landgraabs' second attorney, Pete Sue, stepped forward.

"Your Honour, as the police report submitted to evidence shows, Ash Landgraabs' stepfather would likely just be getting out of prison if not for our client. He wouldn't be a successful police captain, at any rate. The Gordons have always relied on the Landgraabs, and when Conrad found himself in legal jeopardy after his college girlfriend turned out to be a murderous cartel runner, his father Stephen needed help convincing San Myshuno PD to drop his case and send him through the police academy, instead."

"And where did he go for that help?" Laura wondered rhetorically, playing off her husband like a vaudeville duo without the song and dance. "To the then-CEO of Landgraab Corp., Nancy Landgraab. She was pleased to do this favour for someone who worked loyally for her father for decades, but records were sealed. Not even Mr. Gordon himself knew his freedom was thanks to her until discovery for this very hearing, and now he thinks he can provide a more stable home for the Landgraabs' own grandson."

"Our clients vehemently beg to differ," continued Pete. "And they demand a revision to the custody file granting Malcolm Landgraab primary legal and physical custody. They feel their position and security will provide him with the tools he'll need as he approaches adulthood, while his mother and stepfather engage him in fantasy roleplaying as a lifestyle."

Heather and Conrad squirmed from their corner of the courtroom. Discovering that Nancy was more or less the sole reason they'd ever had the chance to meet had been a difficult pill to swallow, but considering the position they were in when they'd discovered it, they saw no reason to thank her.

Judge Marlow nodded, turning to Felix to hear the defendants' make their case. "Your Honour, my clients are as surprised as anyone to be here today. As surprised as they were the night Ash was uprooted from the home he's known since birth. Ash was born in Brindleton Bay, and for more than the first year of his life, his biological father didn't call. He didn't visit. He didn't care."

"Objection!" argued Laura. "Counsel can't know our clients' feelings nine years ago."

Judge Marlow nodded. "Sustained. Facts only, please."

"My clients have been there for Ash day in, day out, for close to a decade. Heather Gordon has provided for Ash from the day he was born, and she did it alone before she met her husband. She's a successful vet, stood as a surrogate for two of her closest friends, and a doting mother. On top of raising a well-adjusted son and daughter, Mrs. Gordon ran her clinic so successfully, she was able to buy out the Landgraabs and become completely independent within seven years of signing the lease."

Judge Marlow listened intently as Felix spoke for his clients. "They've provided a safe and stable home despite Captain Gordon's line of work. Ash has regular appointments with counselors and they've all submitted statements to the record. They attest to him being responsible and emotionally mature. Besides, Ash wasn't kidnapped while under the Gordons' care in Brindleton Bay, but while he was staying with the Landgraabs in San Myshuno."

"Counsel, is it true your clients' met because Captain Gordon was investigating a hack of Landgraab Systems perpetrated by Mrs. Gordon?" Judge Marlow raised an eyebrow and Felix nodded.

"It is, Your Honour. She's a very successful app designer, and Malcolm stole her app code before they broke up. She discovered it months later and orchestrated the hack to delete the stolen files, but the Landgraabs declined to press charges and everyone has moved on. At least, that's what my clients' thought. But perhaps my clients should have known the Landgraabs wouldn't honour a contract. It's not uncommon for Landgraab Corp. to stiff their contractors, daring them to fight their considerable resources in court or take a lesser deal. Now, it seems, they're trying to do the same to my clients, and they're using the well-being of their own flesh and blood to do it."

Across the courtroom, vicious Nancy laughed, as though Felix' words were useless against her influence and wealth. Malcolm and Geoffrey chuckled with her.

"And Your Honour, I'm not a judge, but it seems to me that Ash's own testimony - recorded by Officer Camden Romeo the night he was escorted from Brindleton Bay - should be strongly considered. He said he wanted to stay at the Gordon home with his mother and stepfather."

"Objection, Your Honour," said Pete. "It was an emotional evening and children's testimony can be unreliable."

Judge Marlow shook her head. "Overruled."

Once the attorneys had made their cases, Judge Marlow stepped away to make her decision. The wait for word felt agonizingly long for Heather and Conrad, but they waited eagerly when she called the court back in session.

The Gordons and Landgraabs waited with baited breath as Judge Marlow smiled. "I would like to start by saying, despite events, I don't believe Ash is particularly unsafe with any of his legal guardians. That being said, the testimonies from everyone, including counselors, discussing time travel and ghosts with shocking complacency is alarming. It's an atypical and potentially dangerous way for a young, impressionable person to be raised, and it does raise questions about the suitability of his primary home."

Felix anxiously pulled at the chain on his navy vest. He knew what was coming but he couldn't interrupt the judge.

"Stability is the most important thing for any child whose cases cross my desk, and the Gordons' situation is less stable than the Landgraabs, especially with another child on the way and no way to know what this will do to the family's dynamic. As such, the court sides with the plaintiffs, and I'm ordering a reversal of the current custody arrangement."

Heather and Conrad gasped, their faces pulling in anguish as the judge continued. "Primary legal and physical custody of Ash Neal Landgraab is hereby awarded to Malcolm Landgraab, with visitation granted to Heather and Conrad Gordon at the Landgraabs' sole discretion."

Nancy grinned like a cat who'd slaughtered a mouse while Heather and Conrad suffered, the judge's voice fading in and out as both sides of the courtroom processed the verdict.

"Court will reconvene in a year, at which time, I will hope the Gordons have settled into a more quiet life for the sake of all their children, but for the next year it seems quite clear the Landgraabs' will provide Ash with the best possible care."

The Landgraabs left in a hurry while Felix apologized to his friends. "I'm so sorry. I hate to lose a case and this one...We have a year, but we can try a lot of things to get an earlier hearing. I'll try every single one of them."

Heather and Conrad embraced, fighting off the numbness threatening to swallow them both. "We're going to get him back, I promise," insisted Conrad. "There's no way it's gonna take a year." ->

Shout out to @matchalovertrait, who said some very nice things about all Heather has accomplished right while I was writing this post. You helped write Felix' defense without even knowing it, so thank you!! I'm sorry it didn't actually help *ducks*

WCIF Poses, Landgraab Attorneys & Judge Marlow? Several of Heather and Conrad's reaction shots were taken with Akuiyumi's Sadness poses, but a lot of this was staged by getting characters to sit or stand in one place and practice singing. They look expressive and it saves me when they're standing or sitting too far away to have a conversation. (Fun fact, I also did this when Conrad met John Brindleton at the prison for his confession, because I could not get them to sit in those chairs and have a conversation because they were technically sitting in different rooms.

I found Pete and Laura Sue on the Sims 4 Gallery by user mgq15, and it looks like they're part of a series, and yes those are the names they were uploaded with! I'm sorry they're playing attorneys for the bad guys but I thought they just had that vibe! Likewise, I found Robin Marlow by Gallery user Beths1990 while looking for a judge and put a robe on her. I really liked them all in the scene and we'll see them again - there's another custody hearing scheduled in a year, after all!

The courthouse came from a redone koomasterpc build by KPOPfan07-09, and I liked that the fourth floor looked a bit like a big city courtroom, different from the courthouse in Brindleton Bay because the Landgraabs had jurisdiction on this one, unfortunately.

What videogames the Batfam play, I will take absolutely zero criticism.

Bruce

- Mortal Combat

- Explicitly the old arcade cabinet version.

- He sometimes copies moves from the games.

- Claims it's good for improving instincts.

Dick

- Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

- Played all of the Pro Skater games as they came out.

- The sort of person to try and launch themselves halfway across the map.

- Tried to get Tim to show him how to skate, didn't go well (he broke his nose trying to do a trick).

- Despite being an accomplished acrobat, it hasn't transferred well to doing skateboard tricks.

Jason

- The sort of guy to play Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing religiously.

- He will be sitting on the sofa, with unbridled rage on his face while he stares at a switch. Everyone thinks he's struggling with a stage in Doom (it was Animal Crossing, Tom Nook can go fuck himself).

- Has dipped from patrol before cause he realises it was a Sunday and had to sell his turnips before midnight (he will not change the time, that's cheating).

Tim

- Portal 1 and 2

- The puzzles aren't exactly difficult for him, especially after he's completed the game so many times, so now he speedruns the game, seeing what he can exploit.

- Constantly switching between no. 1 and 2 on the leaderboards (the other person he's switching with is actually the Riddler, he was allowed 1 video game in Arkham).

- Managed to rig up controls so he can play multiplayer by himself.

Damian

- Has no such time for childish wastes of time!

- How dare you assume he would sully his mind with such trivial acts!

- I mean really, he spends his time pursuing actually meaningful stimulation such as reading or research.

- It's Pokémon.

- He wanted to play Doom after seeing Jason play it, but he's like 12.

- He has played every single Pokémon game and knows all the meta.

- He has qualms with the idea of animal fighting, but Dick told him that Pokémon like to fight, like how dogs and cats will play fight.

Barbara

- Any of those CCTV horror games.

- Since her work as Oracle, these games are a piece of cake, so she plays them while doing other stuff, just in the background.

- She has completed Fnaf UCN 50/20 mode multiple times now, sometimes while monitoring the Bats in patrol.

Stephanie

- Sims

- She has made all the family and the rogues in the Sims.

- She has made Bruce and Clark 'woohoo' multiple times.

- When someone pisses her off, she will torture them in the Sims and send footage to the group chat.

- Tim has been locked in a 1x1 room for 3 weeks now (he still doesn't know what he did) (he didn't bring her anything from Batburger when he went).

Cassandra

- Story-based games like What Remains of Edith Finch and Life is Strange.

- Any competitive game is out of the questions as it's too easy to read her component. She has beaten Bruce at MK soooo many times.

- Like these games cause she finds it half way between reading a book and watching a soap-opera at times.

- Doesn't need to "be the best" as there isn't a goal, so she can just relax and enjoy herself.

- Also likes playing DDR with Duke.

Duke

- Beatsaber

- In training for We Are Robin, he used several rhythm games to improve his reaction time as it's a good way to practice without actually getting into danger.

- Absolutely dominates at DDR with the Batfam, like him and Cass will be at an arcade and it'll be like one of those scenes from a movie where they switch sides, do tricks, and are so in sync, it's insane.

- Beatsaber is fun cause he will project it in front of him as well to physically hit the blocks. He needs VR when he can just make it exist.

- The others swear he uses his powers to cheat at it cause he's so much better than the rest of them (he does on occasion when one of them annoys him).

Alfred

- Master Bruce, I do not have time to play video games and have no such interest. These things are for the younger generation anyway.

- Bloodborne.
