Speak Now by @firefeufuego Complete (1.4k), Jily love declarations, Rated T

The fuse has been lit. Lily can almost hear the crackling hiss of it, feel the building burn of it in the air as Sirius takes the reins of the conversation, as drinks are bought and poured down newly dry throats, and eventually as last orders are called and the four of them are standing outside and saying farewell with kisses on cheeks. Sam and Sirius apparate away. Lily and James do not. They stand, eyes fixed firmly on each other, ready to ignite. ‘Not forever, you said?’ James asks, his voice deep and quiet in a way that’s never been hers to hear before now. Follow-up to the lovely kay-elle-cee's 'silence and patience, pining in anticipation'.

i’m kind of in love with your oc’s please use this as a free space to talk about them. would it be just the bigger characters or also more minor figures or become more minor characters over the story (like how in eah it starts off with a selection from well known fairytales then as it goes on it adds in others like the snow queen (not unknown but not as big as snow white/cinderella etc)

!!!!!!!! i think it's going to expand into including more minor figures but honestly so far i've just started at my favorite little guys (minus the ones that i don't know how would be able to exist (ie. galahad) if a solid 80% of these characters are teenage girls) and built outwards from there based on who they should know

the main character, who's based on lancelot, is named adelaide. the main difference between her and lancelot is that while he's just too good at stabbing, her fight or flight reaction is "hit as hard as possible and aim at the head. preferably with a sword." she can generally be found wherever the nearest fountain is (fountain... lake.... get it?. she's convinced that she Has to be in love with my guinnevere-equivalent but they won't so much as look at each other now because that's for when at least one of them is married and they can have a proper courtly romance (mentioned this in the original post but see: apple white's whole "we can date when we're married" thing). she has the world's largest collection of hand-knit sweaters from the lady of the lake who is. literally vivviane arthuriana but i'm not sure what we're looking at for their relation bc parent-child would be too straightforward. i'm thinking grandparent-grandchild but that might imply she's lancelot's daughter so i'll figure it out later. a large amount of those sweaters are xmas sweaters but not with like. snowmen and santa and trees. like full on nativity scenes. she also has a lot of easter sweaters with jesus getting crucified on them. catholics, man. rumor has it that if you shove her in a lake she'll grow a fish's tail. i can't confirm or deny it but i can say that the rumor was started because i Like mermaids. uhhhhh it's also worth noting that she goes semi verbal a lot of the time and also is just as transgender as the original lancelot.

madeleine is our gawaine-equivalent. she's not more impulsive than adelaide, necessarily, but she sure does seem it due to how brash she is. she's just as fast-talking and flirty as the gawaine we know and love and honestly i'm having trouble describing her as anything but gawaine as a teenage girl so i'll need to work on that. she and adelaide have those matching bff heart charms. also she was raised by pirates i'm keeping that.

tristan is johanna but i might change her name later on. she's a self-described master of disguises and when not using her talents to sneak around her uncle's (who is just straight up mark) house, she actually really likes to sew. she's an archer and plays the harp, just like our tristan. she learned how to shoot while using one of those fucking. nerf bows. and begged to get a real one instead of a sword. bc she spent all her time training with a bow, however, she really can't use a sword in any capacity that doesn't involve just swinging it wildly in a vague direction.

jordan is a placeholder name i've gotten attached to, and belongs to the guy based on isolde (blonde edition). he's a (self declared) nurse with a bit of a Thing about poison. that thing specifically is an elaborate lie about potentially being poisoned and wanting to be prepared Just In Case (he really just likes poison). people buy said lie bc he is a bit of a hypochondriac. he has some sort of musical talent bc the fact that palomydes sings and tristan plays the harp and isolde doesn't do anything has always bugged me.

so far galehaut is both nameless and rough-idea-of-a-design-less. but she's a princess with a pretty huge crush on adelaide based entirely on the fact that she saw her once (the one time she tried to talk to her adelaide just kinda froze up). i wanna keep the warlord thing but also That Is A Literal Teenage Girl so idk how that'd work.

palomydes is also nameless but i have an idea at her design so she's got a leg up there. she still has two swords but all i've got other than that is that she's a particular kind of eccentric (not the right word but good enough) that pairs well with johanna and jordan's. i might name her something with a j for obvious reasons.

bertilak i just have an idea at a design for. but y'know that one dame archer post? yeah that's her but with an axe.

#srry this took so long i started writing this on my lunch break but then had to go to class when i was halfway through johanna's bit #and then i was going to finish it when i got home but i ended up passing out on the couch instead #i'll come up with an oc tag for them later #romeo.txt #combeferrewasright

So, it looks like the roaring success of a wedding party added to Brandi’s reputation. You sure you don’t wanna roundhouse kick your BFF Dina there for smooching your firstborn son?

(John Burb – lover of drama, sitter of fences, gossip extraordinaire and never met a dirty joke he doesn’t like – glides by without a word but a mental note to regale his wife with all the sordid details.)

I still don’t know which of the two of them initiated that, but I guess this is what happens when you combine cute blond Fortune sims, one of whom has recently reached an... eligible age?... and our old friend ACR.

youtube

Darren had at least five of those six beers, so this doesn’t surprise me in the least. Dreamer, I’m cutting you off!

Time to celebrate the transition of the terrible twins, the perfect ending to this... interesting wedding.

Growing up next to a rain puddle, is it everything you ever dreamed of Skip Jr?

Sadly, it’s also time to say goodbye to the Mortimer Goth cosplay and the buzzcut...

... and hello to... this! I’m pretty sure given he’s Sloppy and Playful, SJ’ll be a Nature sim, so it’s not even like this is hobby-appropriate costuming (it’d be better for his sister, she’s bound to be Sports or Fitness with her personality points).

There’s something so ritualistic about the way they stand around cheering somebody aging, I love it. It’s even better in weddingwear.

I’m also a big fan of how different Skip Jr looks to his older brothers. And this genetic correctness! I’m not sure how we ever put up with the gender-reversed Brandi clone EAxis stuck in the vanilla game. THANK YOU @meetmetotheriver 💟

I’m excited that he grew up well, but scared of what kind of child he’ll be. Nowhere near as terrified as I am re: Suse though.

Darren finally told one dirty joke too many? And in front of A CHILD?! No wonder he and John Burb get along so well.

Beau: Hey I’m gonna be a teenager in like a day, I can take it.

We’ll be the judge of that.

Oh god, I don’t know if I even really want to do this, but here we go.

Yo Bran, when did you change into your afterparty gear? (Seriously, I had no idea she had that maternity formalwear lurking in her wardrobe.)

Susie: *stares at fire* Yes, yes, consume the souls of my nemeses...

Skip Jr: Uh, Mr Dad, I think you’re supposed to put her down.

Beau: This is gold.

Skip Jr: Seriously DreamerDaddy, I really think she’s meant to be on the floor...?

Skip Jr: I can’t watch.

(Legitimately though, at this point I was hiding from the screen and peeping through my fingers to take these screenshots. I love a good glitch, but this was beyond terrifying.)

OH MY GOD.

THEY’VE MERGED INTO SOME KIND OF MONSTER.

Oh thank heavens. I just had Darren do the ‘put Susie here’ action and while her arms did get stuck like this for a while, everything went back to normal and she was a child and not some warped giant baby. Good bloody lord! Darren, had you forgotten how to transition a toddler? Dirk’s not that old!

Hey Suse, you’d better not be hunting bugs just to set fire to them.

Susie: Well I won’t be setting fire to anything if my stupid jar stays this empty.

While I’m kind of loving Susie’s blazer and jeans, gotta get those twins into the colors they were in as tots. It’s my rule! (When feasible.)

Yeah we get it guys, you love each other because you’re both pretty awful. Had enough of this yet Beau?

Beau: Urgh. I’m disappearing into a place where I can control everything, thank you very much. This here dollhouse.

That sounds like a strangely familiar concept.

Ah, back to some semblance of a (relatively) normal life! Skip Jr’s already making good use of those Playful Grouchy traits by beating Beau to death with a pillow, and Susie’s slyly charming her way into an older brother’s affections just as she did with Dustin.

This loading screen will look rather different... imminently. Room for two more?

Oh yeah! Remember Dustin’s strange schoolfriend who marched brazenly into the Broke trailer and randomly picked up and snuggled the twins when they were but babes? Skip Jr clearly does, and now that he can articulate this experience, is telling Beau just how traumatic it was.

Back to plate-making, you! Yes I know you want a vacay, and you’ll get one when you sell several more of these. Also what’s that ‘get caught cheating’ fear? Why is cheating even crossing your mind? You literally just got married and it upped your chem with Daz by one whole bolt – three is the magic number, don’t mess with perfection!

With Susie being an active-grouchy sports lover, I got her a nice Goal of Paul to play with. Of course the first thing she does is stand in it and jeer her brother.

Skip Jr: Listen sis, this is your game not mine.

I’m fine with whatever happens as long as that ball doesn’t hit poor Darleen’s gravestone.

Susie: So what we got going here.

Beau: Well we have this whole saga, see. Shirley here has been struggling with her feelings towards Muriel for quite some time now –

Susie: So she sets fire to Muriel’s hair in a passionate fury and then these two ladies over here come and chop her good with samurai swords to avenge Muriel?

Beau: Uh, no –

Susie: ‘I curse the day Shirley was born!’ ‘As do I, we will demand blood for blood!’

Beau: *sighs* Not really what I was going for. How exactly are we related again?

Susie: This is great! Do you have any of those little green army men? Let’s have them explode the house in an act of WAR.

Oh hi! Tinkering Lady is COOL! Dirk finally bagged the elusive invite to go play with cars and trains and robots. I think he’s our first too.

I am going to aggressively marry her into one of the families at some point, I have to. Boho style, badass purple streak in her hair and pink eyes too? She has it all!

Brandi, that is not acceptable. You have a pottery badge for crying out loud.

Oh okay, you’re going into labor. I suppose that’s a fair excuse.

Even cool Tinkering Lady is running to see the miracle of life!

Darren: Oh, you’re having the babies, love? That’s nice.

THE MOTHERFUDGING VERTICAL RING GLITCH IS BACK AGAIN ON HIS SECOND FRIGGING MARRIAGE

Susie?

Susie: Astarte and Proserpine are busy avenging Muriel and fending off acts of terror, god, leave me alone.

Dirk looks like he’s singing a power ballad and I’m loving it. Meanwhile Beau is like, this ain’t my first rodeo.

Here we go... again. AGAIN.

The cramming into the doorway while Brandi gives birth in the narrowest place in the whole house is a treat tbh.

And here they are! We gots two gals. Not saying they’re not lovely, call me a picky sim breeder but I was expecting them to be... at least S3? The genetics in this game confuse me sometimes.

Speaking of genetics, look at this brown-eyed babe! Take your pick, they could be from Brandi’s dad or either or Darren’s parents. I’ve named them after surrealist artists (because I figured their parents’d be into that), so we have little Frida here...

... and mere seconds younger, her sister Remedios!

As per usual everybody cheers the firstborn twin and poor Remy doesn’t get a look-in. Even Susie dragged herself away from her macabre soap opera to say hi.

Susie: Who run the world? GIRLS! Who run the world?

Skip Jr: Bang bang!

Beau: No. I only have three Playful points. I refuse to engage in your nonsense.

And here are the twin ladies in their matching rubberbabybuggybumpers. Next up, we have our dearest Beau hitting teenhood! I’m gonna miss him as a kid.
