Chopra Household: Chapter 6, Part 10

I almost lost my mind but I took some time off to build so I didn't!

If Viola is attempting to say something it will be in brackets, otherwise you can assume it's just trying out sounds Mercedes has a speech delay and may get words wrong, correct wording will be in brackets if that is the case Savannah aka Honeybee Mercedes aka Little Ladybug Viola aka Green Bean

With everyone going through a tough time (especially the watcher) nana Lavina is having a stay over to help out.

Rahul: Thanks for coming mum

Lavina: Of course dear, I’m happy to

Cassandra: Okay Viola, nana is here. Do you think we can show her a crawl huh? Crawl to mama

The pair practice and after a while we get milestone lights!

Lavina: Oh how wonderful! Although she does look glum

Viola is up and crawling but is very pouty about it.

Rahul: Shucks, she probably needs more antibiotics

Lavina: Don’t worry, I’ll grab them for you

Lavina: My goodness what did I nearly trip on

Rahul: It’s a robot vacuum

Cassandra: We can set it to auto clean and it should take care of any dust bunnies

Lavina stomps off to the medicine cabinet grumbling about technology these days. After Viola has her medicine and is fed Cassandra gets her to bed. Both of them need sleep, here’s hoping they can get some.

Cluckton: *crows* hear ye, hear ye! We’ve survived a bad mod storm that involved sims being sick and unable to go to the doctor! Let us all thank the watcher for getting help and giving up on that module without deleting us. We came so close to DOOM!

Mercedes: Is Cluckton still crowing

Savannah: Maybe. He probably just wants to make sure we can hear him all the way over here

Cassandra: Good morning green bean! Isn’t it so much better without those nasty bugs? You look better

Viola: se na ma do (so do you mama)

Cassandra: I just finished pumping so this bottle is nice and fresh for my little guzzler

Viola tucks into the bottle with gusto, promptly finishing it. Cassandra takes her over to the changing table for a fresh nappy when Mercedes comes and sits on the rocking chair.

Mercedes: Morning mama. Did papa tell you they say I’m gifted

Cassandra: he did! But gifted or not you are my daughter and I love you for more than your brain, okay

Mercedes: Okay mama. Can you come to word class with me today? Papa can go with Savannah instead

Cassandra: If you'd like me there I’d love to

Savannah: And a drop here, and a drop there, and-

Rahul: SAVANNAH

Savannah: Huh what?

Rahul: Why did you dump this paint on the floor

Savannah: It wasn’t me!

Rahul: I SAW you Savannah, don’t start lying. No tv for a day and you will clean this up, right now!

Savannah: But… how will I get my fun need up without tv

Rahul: You should have thought of that before you made a mess. Now your mama and I are swapping after school duties and I expect you on your best behaviour for OT

Savannah: *sighs* yes papa

Cassandra streams her guitar practice this morning. Nursing has affected how much time she’s been able to spend increasing her skills and fame. While she strums the yard animals again inspect Viola. Seven in particular finds the infant suspicious. After playing with her rattle Viola sets off crawling around, the feel of grass under her fingers is a lot of fun.

Even though the yard is sheltered, with the rain Cassandra doesn’t like Viola spending too much time outside in case she gets windchill. Back inside it’s time for more standing practice. After a series of tries together Viola gurgles she wants to try by herself so Cassandra steps back and Viola looks up at the couch. She stretches her arms and up she goes! Cassandra is so excited she takes a small video to show Rahul in case Viola doesn’t feel like showing off later.

Lavina: Look at her go! She’s a star

Cassandra: Could you get her down for a nap? I have to go tell Rahul

Lavina: Oh course dear

…

Cassandra: Then she just pulled herself up

Rahul: That’s wonderful

Cassandra: It has got me thinking… she’s growing up…

Rahul: And the nursery will be empty… can’t have that…

Cassandra: shall we go try then?

Rahul: Don’t have to ask me twice

So the two head to their room and spend time… flipping pillows until their daughters are ready for after school activities.

Word class and OT went well, Cassandra does have to rush off to work pretty soon afterwards though. The girls head inside to do their homework while Rahul cooks.

Lavina: What is word class when it’s at home

Mercedes: Stuff. Helping stuff

Lavina: And this is meant to make you better at talking is it? Doesn’t seem to be making much difference so far

Rahul: Mum! Be nice, let's not teach them to be rude

Lavina: I want my granddaughters to succeed, is that rude? Now Savannah, are you sure that’s the right way to hold your pencil?

Savannah: *sighs dramatically*

Rahul: Mum! Don’t fuss. They’ve both done well today

Savannah: If I’ve done well... can I watch TV?

Rahul: No. I said no TV for a day and I meant it

Mercedes: But Savannah did good

Rahul: Yes but she still did bad this morning

Mercedes: She cleaned it

Rahul: After being caught and trying to lie about it

Lavina: And she should consider herself lucky. Any time your papa made a mess it was no TV for a week. He learned not to and so will your sister

Savannah: *fumes in silence*

Rahul: I’m sorry if you are upset Honeybee but your punishment was for earlier. Consequences are tied to our actions. When you’re grown you’ll understand

Mercedes: I thought we were grown

Rahul: Not yet little ladybug. Think of it this way Savannah… If I sheared some wool off Seven and cut her by accident, I could bottle feed her all I like but it wouldn’t change that I cut her. There’s only 12 hours left and you’ll be asleep for most of it

Savannah: Oh... I forgot about sleep

Mercedes: I guess I can’t watch TV either

Lavina: Why not?

Mercedes: Sol.. solid… together. We stick together (solidarity)

The Gilded Pinnacle- Del Sol Valley, Election Night

Guests of all life states flock to support the Salas campaign as the votes trickle in. Other notable political figures, fellow vampires, celebrity advocates, and enthusiastic supporters eager for progress all converge, their presence reflecting the overwhelming support for Tatiana's candidacy.

Tatiana: Sandra, sweetie! I can hardly contain my excitement. Looks like we're in the lead! Now where is that Mr. Vespertine? [Scans room] I'd like to thank him for his hard work. It really looks like things are looking up for us. I do wish that all three of my daughters could be by my side tonight. Mira is still coming, right?

Sandra beams with pride for her mother, while trying to mask the increasing anxiety surrounding the whereabouts of their missing campaign manager. Sandra: Yes. I still haven't heard from Mackenzie. But Mira will be here soon, she confirmed. Frieda, not sure what her excuse is, guess she couldn't be bothered to make the trip. Nancy Landgraab: [Sigh] It's such a shame when children are ungrateful.

Malcolm Landgraab: [Rolls eyes] Not now, mother.

Markus: Looks like they're looking for the little freak. Kat: What if they start asking too many questions? Miss Hell: Pretty soon the results will be in, and when they are, no one will give a damn about him anymore.

Sims In Bloom: Generation 2 Pt. 51 (Unflirty Heather Said 'No More Free Love!')

Brindleton Pawspital was always a hotbed for local gossip. More than once, Heather caught her employees and her customers cheating on their spouses in the lobby - sometimes even in the exam rooms!

Heather was so unflirty, the town's hands-off approach to extramarital romance had started to get a little disturbing. And now she had a boyfriend in town, so the last thing she wanted to think about was "free love."

None of it should have been any of her business, but she could get drawn into salacious rumours as much as the next person - especially if they were making out right under her nose!

But she had a hunch one such rumour would interest her mother, and called her one morning to pass on what she'd learned.

"I heard a rumour about the old creature keeper and grocer from Henford. You remember Hayes Harms and Abby Goldbloom, don't you?"

"Of course! They moved to Brindleton Bay and had three children together! It was a lovely happy ending to all those years of pining."

"Apparently it wasn't always happy ever after once they got here. Do you remember that old vet tech who used to work here when I was in high school? Our pets loved her, but then she left town without a trace and no one ever heard from her again."

"Emi Kudo! She was so sweet. I always wondered what happened to her!"

"I overheard someone at the clinic say she left town pregnant with Hayes' baby when he chose his wife over his mistress!"

(She had twins, and she lives in world. I know where she is and she will be back. Less so for her and moreso because one of those twins is evil and I've earmarked them to be hated by all of us for good reason in the future, so that'll be fun!)

Daisy gasped. "You're kidding? He did that to his wife?! He was always so quiet and unassuming."

"It might not be true. I'm not about to talk about it with the Harms, but if it is true, he might've been influenced by the free love action plan. It makes people flirty with people they barely know, or know are married. They're practically possessed. And all for influence! I can't imagine seeing someone else flirt with Conrad!"

"So maybe you should try to repeal it," suggested her mother. "Your father spearheaded a couple campaigns to get rid of things like public fighting here in Henford, and with how popular you and your clinic are, you should be able to get enough signatures in no time."

Taking her mother's advice, Heather started working to convince the locals to repeal the provision and replace it with something less scandalous, like support for performing arts.

Campaigning was going well, and she was happy to see Cassandra's brother Alexander one morning when he arrived with one of the Goth family cats. "Al, hi! How was the honeymoon in Sulani?"

"It was incredible. Lydia didn't want to leave."

"I hear it's beautiful there. But I expected to see your mother with Frankie today. Is she alright?"

"Oh, she'll be fine. She's just packing up Diego's things and she'll either be throwing them into the bay or taking them over to the Chopra place down the road. I don't think she's decided yet."

"What do you mean? What happened?"

"She found Diego in bed with Rahul Chopra. She broke up with him on the spot and I heard Diego and Rahul ran down to the courthouse to get married the same day."

"I'm stunned," said Heather. "Who gets left by their partner for another man twice but your poor mother? I'm so sorry."

"Don't be. She was fine after my father left and she knows she'll be fine again. She has no intention of being anything less than fabulous this time around, too. She's already talking about taking a trip to Ciudad Enamorada to test out the singles scene."

Heather chuckled. "I believe it." She grabbed the clipboard next to her espresso machine. "I'm not sure if you checked the community board on your way in, but I'm actually sponsoring a repeal of the free love action plan this weekend. It won't stop everyone from unnecessary public displays of affection, but it might be nice if your mother's next partner is a little less focused on scoring romantic influence points around town."

Alexander reached for her pen. "I know my mother can take care of herself, but I'm happy to sign it. Lydia's the only one for me as it is."

Once Alexander signed the petition, she had enough signatures for it to pass. Though a few of the town's randier residents were unhappy, most Brindletonians appreciated that their marriages were now much less under threat.

Heather returned home to find her son and Conrad laughing and playing helicopter upstairs, and she smiled with gratitude. ->

<- Previous Chapter | Gen 2 Start | Gen 1 Summary | Gen 1 Start

NOTE: Diego really did this and I was so annoyed. I went out of my way to hook up this randomly generated townie spawn with THE Bella Goth after she thought he was handsome, and spent way too much of my time during Cassandra and River's wedding building up their friendship and flirting. The one thing I didn't do was get them married because it felt way too soon. And he repaid me like this!

One might say it was the final straw in the Watcher's tolerance for the Romantic Aura neighbourhood action plan that had been on by default since Heather moved, and set my unflirty sim in motion. 😂 Although I'm big on control over sims in-world and that's the real reason I don't like this action plan, Heather's negative moodlets from catching the cheaters messed with her work so it had to go. When she was upset she couldn't be warm with animals, so she couldn't start exams unless she was rude, which meant exams were taken by her less-skilled vet techs and didn't help the rating I'm already struggling to raise!

FUN(?) FACT: I never got any good screenshots of the cheating because it always happened out of nowhere with sims I had no control over, so I tried to stage some to set up this post (AFTER the repeal because I'm so good at this!) and Liberty (Lee) Huntington understood the assignment just enough, but this is how Brant Hecking reacted to getting hit on by Mitchell Kalani 🙉 😂:

I have seen a few posts and articles/reviews where folks describe their disappointment with the film because the love story between Sweety and Kuhu was not shown as much as they would have liked. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and you are allowed to feel that way. That being said, I do not understand why people are bashing the film.

The point of the movie is not about Sweety and Kuhu falling in love - it’s about Sweety learning how to accept herself, be herself, and hoping that will help others accept her for who she is. It just so happens that in that process, she fell in love. This movie is not meant to be the gay DDLJ, and for good reason. The team went into this knowing that they could suffer some serious backlash, but they went ahead with it anyway. Why? In hopes of educating people, of changing their perspective. So I don’t understand why LGBTQ people are not supporting this film for what it has to offer.

This movie gives us so much more than we have EVER gotten from a mainstream Bollywood film. It gave us a montage of two women falling in love with the title song playing in the background; it showed Sweety coming to terms with her sexuality in a real and relatable story; it had her standing up for herself and taking control of the situation when others tried to tell her how to live her life. But most importantly, it gives us representation.

The purpose of this movie is not to be a fluffy and romantic tale of two women falling in love. The goal of Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga is to share an authentic story that reflects our life and experiences. You know what also makes this movie so great? It gives us all the things we love about Bollywood movies and slips Sweety’s story into it. But folks, if LGBTQ people don’t stand up this film, then how are we ever going to get a full-fledged wlw romantic comedy/drama in Bollywood? We need to take what this film has to offer, support it, and continue to fight for the representation that we rightly deserve. Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga may not have been the movie some of us wanted it to be, but it is definitely the movie that it needs to be.

TL; DR: LGBTQ people need to stop slacking on their support for Ek Ladki because it’s not the gay DDLJ, otherwise how are we going to get the romantic story that we all deserve?

📩 Simblr question of the day: Choose a sim of your own that you consider your/a fave, then choose one sim from three (or more!) different simblrs, now imagine what those sims would be like in a room together? Who's walking out first? Who's staying the longest? Who would get along? Who wouldn't get along at all? Elaborate as much or as little as you'd like :) (p.s please feel free to share this to others, anon or not, and feel free to use the hashtag " SQOTD "! I love seeing everyone's answers and reading them makes my day ~ 💛 ) (p.p.s I saw you ask for the best friend ask, be on the lookout for that sometime soon :))

Oh my gosh I have so many ideas I'll have to put them under a cut!

Brunch Date

First up we're going BIG! I'm talking time to ship up every single member of the York family to go and meet the Alegria family by @matchalovertrait! Wouldn't be too massive of a trip though since we're mostly all in Tartosa.

I suspect Devin and Dulce would get along. I think Aaron would probably be a bit too pompous for Erick to maintain a conversation with. I'm guessing Noemi would probably not mind talking to Calista since they're both family and career women. Angel would probably be the one helping Joey make sure Alfred and Rilian are having fun.

Supernatural Hang out

Sending my werewolf Samir, his boyfriend Reece, and the Knightstone's to try and make friends...

They would be meeting up with Caleb and Morgan by @marcishaun, as well as Lou and Lux by @ethicaltreatmentofcowplants.

As well as Priscilla, Tony and Moumou by @eljeebee and the Bohan family by @aliengirl.

First up Moumou (who's a cat if you didn't know) would be surrounded by all the younger sims. The youngest would probably just all be sitting there making imitation cat noises. I like to think Silas would be interested to meet Carina and Orion and have a million questions about how they manage to look both human and alien at the same time.

Blue would tell Adam how he carried a pregnancy and Adam would storm off in horror for several reasons. First off Adam doesn't want more kids. Plus he's hot headed. Then of course Adam hates UFO aliens getting humans pregnant and would probably feel like the tale hits to close to home, even though Rhea and Blue made their kids with love. Suzanna however would be fascinated to learn about the process.

Priscilla would likely try to cheer up Caleb about being a vampire while Tony would probably try to impart some wisdom about being a human in love with an immortal to Morgan.

Let's be real Samir would probably sit there brooding the entire time but Reece would undoubtedly be chatting at a million miles an hour with Lou and Lex to try and learn all he could about real werewolves.

EDIT: I forgot my main point which is I think most of them would enjoy talking about plants and gardening and nature.

Animal Get Together

Cluckton would be hanging out in a park with Matilda from @sharona-sims...

Le Chat by @akitasimblr, Nougat by @kissalopa and Daisy by @lauralovelysims

They would get up to mysterious animal things

Universes Collide

Amiyah and her siblings by @deardiaryts4 are invited to the Chopra Homestead!

I would invite the other Rahul but I think things could get awkward if Amiyah's parents show up considering her Cassandra is best friends with the woman who married and then divorced Rahul...

I think Amiyah would spend the time trying to teach Savannah and Mercedes how to dance and would probably give them several make overs. Cassandra would find it fascinating to meet these alternate universe Rahul offspring where as Rahul would probably be a bit creeped out.

Casual Drinks!

Sending Joey to meet the infamous Ben Ben by @slightly-ludic for a night on the town! You know Ben needs a drink after that Jungle Adventure!

Of course we're also inviting Astrid by @simmerbeans and Stan and Milena by @stargazer-sims.

A lot of the talk would revolve around travel and what different countries are like. I think Astrid would love talking to Ben and Stan, Joey would do his best to comment on the conversation but secretly be eyeing up whatever single ladies are in the bar. Of course Joey and Ben would say some dopey stuff earning them eyerolls from the other three. I think the younger ones would benefit from time with Stan and Milena though, get some life lessons.

Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, 2019

[slutfortoast]

So it's been over a day since I saw ELKDTAL on Netflix and aaaaaaa my love for this movie is endless

they used my favourite Bollywood tropes to make something so beautiful?? and while my heart cries for more screen-time for Sonam-Regina, what truly, TRULY broke me during the length of this movie is the little girl watching the play in the audience. I didn't think much of it at first, but they showed her a couple times and she was close to tears while seeing the play. I don't know if she was simply moved by the play, or if it was because she felt trapped too, or because she knew someone else who did. Maybe it was her story, maybe it was someone's whom she knew or maybe (definitely) it was a story worth moving one to tears.

I want her to know, she's my story too. I've been her, too.

Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga Review

February 5, 2019

by Inakshi Chandra-Mohanty

3/5 stars

Everyone has the freedom to love. Everyone has the ability to have their own distinct identity. And everyone has the right to be accepted with their differences. Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Lagais all about acceptance and building the confidence to break out of one’s shell. Promoted as “The Most Unexpected Romance of the Year”, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, tells the story of Sweety Chaudhary (Sonam Kapoor), a woman who has kept her sexual orientation a secret from her family, and how a chance encounter with playwriter, Sahil Mirza (Rajkumar Rao), leads her to reflect and muster the courage to come out of her bubble and stop hiding from reality.  The film was definitely unexpected and unique, but it was less a romance and more a coming of age drama. The focus was entirely on the growth of Sweety as an individual and how she navigated her layered relationships with her father, Balbir Chaudhary (Anil Kapoor), and her brother, Babloo Chaudhary (Abhishek Duhan), both who cared for her but were unable to cope with what they believed to be an eccentricity, or a “disease” as Balbir refers to it.

Early in the film, Sweety tells Sahil that his play doesn’t have any “feelings” because there is no “siyappa” (complication) in it. That is exactly what my opinion is of this film. The obstacles exist but they are not emphasized enough to make the audience feel the intensity of the emotions that the characters go through. There is nothing wrong with creating a light and happy film but the conflicts could have been explored more so that the impact was not as fleeting as it seemed. Writer Gazal Dhaliwal and Writer-Director Shelly Chopra Dhar have conveyed a much-needed story that will hopefully make way for more mainstream films about the LGBTQ community. However, they did not flesh out the strain and difficulties that the relationship between the two women endures as a result of societal struggles. There was a brief moment when this dynamic was explored as Sweety and her lover, Kuhu (Regina Cassandra), got into a small argument when Sweety’s insistence on referring to herself as abnormal angered Kuhu. But that was it. I wish there were more scenes like these so that we could see and believe in the love these two had for each other. Yet, there was barely any screen time devoted to the couple. The audience knows nothing about Kuhu’s background, her personality, or her lifestyle. Her role is to be there as a support to the evolving character of Sweety.

The film, however, has some beautiful sequences such as the nuanced portrayals of pure one-sided love that is not reciprocated because of the sexual preferences of the other person. Sweety’s realization of how much distance there is between her and the rest of her classmates occurs when she notices that the girl she likes is attracted to men. On the other hand, Sahil’s understanding of true love, which creates the inspiration for his writing stems from his love for Sweety, which he later realizes cannot be reciprocated as she cannot love men. The key linking these two instances is how both cases help the individual gain a better grasp over their identity. It is an uncomfortable situation but they handle it with such grace and maturity, displaying a level of understanding and support that is necessary in society today.

All the performances are brilliant. Anil Kapoor with his effervescence and Rajkumar Rao and Juhi Chawla with their impeccable comic timing keep the audience engaged throughout. Even Regina Cassandra who had an important part with little screen time, had such strong screen presence. However, the film is entirely dominated by Sonam Kapoor. Despite one or two scenes where I felt she wasn’t able to capture the emotions fully, Sonam Kapoor is able to beautifully portray Sweety’s pain, her struggles, and her emotions. The scene when Sweety breaks down in the theater is in my opinion the most powerful scene of the film and one of my favorites of Sonam Kapoor’s career.

The film is too safe, and afraid to get into the gritty realities of what the LGBTQ community in India face, but that does not take away from it being a brave attempt at mainstreaming a concept that is often avoided or made a mockery of in Indian cinema. It instills the audience with hope, which is something that society needs in order to face the negativity. Unfortunately, due to the serious nature of the concept the hope seems superficial at points, especially towards the last 30 minutes when the film gets preachy and far too unbelievable to be taken seriously. But the important fact is that this film has got us talking about issues that we would have earlier considered taboo and that is a huge step forward for LGBTQ rights in India.
