"remind me again as to why i decided to become a doctor rather than an actor? i could be laying on a beach in caicos right now." instead, he was in a hospital, finishing two back to back surgeries. a knee replacement followed by acl reconstruction. "it's definitely not the coffee." he says as he pours himself a cup from the pot in the break room. as he takes a sip, his face screws up in what can only be described as disgust.

From Lily Graham's Simstagram

After waiting for so long, our great day has finally come. I am Mrs Baker Graham and I couldn't be more excited! I was so worried that the weather would ruin everything, but our wedding day dawned bright and unseasonably warm, and I was so relieved. As you can see, our venue was an outdoor venue, and rain really would've put a damper on the mood! But everything went so well, and truly, it was everything I could've ever hoped for and dreamed of. The best day of my life, just like I had imagined it since I was a little girl dreaming of white wedding dresses!

My dad walked me down the aisle in my dress (made modest by a little alteration that still preserved the simple lines and overall style) and seeing Baker look towards me, tears in his eyes because he was so moved, was such a wonderful moment. My dad then gave me away, and Pastor David Johnson gave a wonderful sermon on how wives should submit to their husbands and husbands should love their wives the way the Watcher loves his flock.

Of course, things could not go off without a hitch - impossible during an event that involved so many little children and toddlers. My baby brother Adair did what he does best, and created chaos. He took off his pants during the most important part of the sermon and then streaked down the aisle, and everyone jumped up to catch the little tyke! But boys will be boys, right? And honestly, it made all of us laugh so much, it was a sweet addition to the service! Children are the Watcher's greatest blessing, after all!

In no time at all, it was time for our vows, and I vowed to submit to my husband - as a good, Watcher-honoring wife should - while Baker promised to love, cherish, and protect. It's such a comfort knowing that a strong, level-headed man as Baker will be making the decisions and calling the shots in our marriage, and I don't have to worry about big decisions! And then... our first kiss. Our first kiss ever, as we'd both been saving ourselves for the one the Watcher has for us, and it truly was such a wonderful, magical moment that I don't have words to describe it. And waiting made everything so much better!

We'll spend our wedding night at a hotel nearby, then say goodbye to our families in the morning and leave for our honeymoon in Tartosa. I can't wait!

THE MILLER FAMILY TREE

THE GRAHAM FAMILY TREE

(And so the happy couple has finally made it to the altar! This was a really fun ride to write, but I'm really glad that after a little storyline round-up, things will settle into a more predictable rhythm again!)

Bower birds, please!

Their nests are fascinating and beautiful. I love that they are crow-like in collecting pretty objects. IMO, decorating their nests is more than a seductive trail of rose petals leading to the boudoir. It demonstrates the male bower bird's ability to build a sturdy structure, keep a clean and tidy home, and has exquisite taste in home decor.

What do you think?

Thanks for keeping up with requests. You are awesome!

Oh yes, bowerbirds are awesome. Here are some cool bowerbirds for you...

Can we plz get a Benrey and Tommy family lore drop/explanation

OH BOY. well here’s the complete rundown to all that I have figured out.

The Benrey Lore:

Benrey Nilabi was born a runt in a place called Cerutina, one of the many places that connects to Xen. (Cerutinans are blue-eyed shapeshifting beings that all hold a sort of deep subconscious hivemind. Bc Benrey is a runt he isn’t connected to this hivemind and is less empathetic/emotionally connected than his family and peers but still tries to through sweet voice. He also lacks the faster healing factor/ extreme shapeshifting that other Cerutinans have.)

He used to live there with his mom, Momma Moola and his abusive older brother, Arden Ardven, and his 16 other younger siblings on a farm until his Arden got a bit too abusive and which resulted in Arden losing his eye in a fight with Ben, which then turned to Ben leaving the farm off to Xen then to Earth.

Momma Moola then died to to a chronic illness not too long after with the rest of his siblings choosing to scatter across the galaxy to pursue their own careers (which is typical for Cerutinans, as most are nomadic and love to integrate themselves into different cultures.) Few stayed on the farm. Arden ended up getting arrested and locked up in a galactic prison bc of his less than savory/ violent preferences on how an alien society should be.

The Tommy Lore:

Thomas “Tommy” Coolatta was adopted into a family of 3, that of his strange yet caring Father (G-Dad), his two-faced eldest sister Evelyn “Evie” Chiller, and his older brother, Graham Chillatta.

Evie was unintentionally raised as a bit of a megalomaniac with a strive for perfection with a hint of businessman savvy. After Tommy was adopted she got extremely bitter of her father’s different methods in raising him, feeling negatively towards the both of them.

Meanwhile Graham was raised in the shadows feeling inadequate about everything, including himself (he’s got a list of medical conditions, one of them causes him to feel he can’t quite emotionally connect to other people. When he isn’t working on projects, he often surrounds himself with paid prostitutes and hype men so he “feels some sort of connection” even if it’s the artificial kind.)

Evie saw this in Graham and as the two got older they distanced themselves from G-Man and Tommy to pursue their own business ventures. Graham sees Evie as the only person he has a real relationship with (the familial kind. Not the gross kind lmao. JUST TO BE CLEAR.) which makes Evie just take advantage of him easily.

Their lore gets wonky from here but just know that Evie and Graham run a business where it seems all hunky dory from the outside but is really just a coverup so Graham can experiment on life forms. (OH and that the trio are reincarnations of a being that was made of light that created the universe but exploded that resulted in the creation of planets and such whaaaat?)

AND THATS AS MUCH AS I LORE I COULD GIVE. COMPRESSED. If there’s any specific character/ thing you want to know more about just ask. I’m tired lol
