The bad weather followed Annika to the next location. Maybe it wasn't the evil warlock's fault at all and the weather was just shitty? Not that a little rain would stop her from doing what she set her mind to do!

Growing up, fishing used to be a Big Deal to Annika. It was one of the first activities she picked up when her family washed ashore the Bay, and although it was out of bare necessity at first, she's grown to genuinely enjoy it as an activity over the years. Her family didn't need to forage or hunt for food anymore (the Bay's markets were well-stocked and anything they couldn't find there, Gabriel would bring from the city), but there were days when Annika couldn't resist the nostalgic call of the waves.

Nor did she need to! The old temple ruins proved to be a great fishing spot, and they were just down the street from the Blackbirds' place.

The new Blackbird round kicks off on an early spring morning, with father and son hunched over a bubbling cauldron. With Marcus recently coming into his powers, Gabriel had made it a priority to teach him everything he knew about magic. So each morning, a couple hours before Gabriel was due at work, they'd get up to practice spellcasting or potion making or any of the other sub-disciplines of magic that required practical as well as theoretical knowledge.

Gabriel found it was an easy task, and not only because of the familial connection: simply put, the kid was a natural. He even succeeded in performing a complex Magivestigium spell on his first try! Granted, it was from one room of the house to another, but if he kept this up, he'd be teleporting across cities and countries in no time!

Being a father as well as a warlock, the thought both thrilled and terrified Gabriel.

When you just won't accept that it might NOT be the final mesh!

It's been an honour booping you all!

It's gone 😭😭 I'll miss the boops

The round ends here. An unexpectedly bitter end to the Broke family's round. Brandi sends a check to Lord Pleasant, a mergely $200 is all the family can afford.

Brandi will incur late fees for her inability to pay her rent and taxes in full. Let's hope the next season will bring forth better fortunes.

SOLUTION TO BEING MUCH TO SCARED TO TALK TO MUTUALS:

FUgkin..... hit em with ur paws......

[tipsypixel-sims]

Character Profiles: The Baranim

Achemi Baranim (mage/true neutral)

Age: 55

Interest: Dogs

Traits: Family-orientated/Daring/Hot-tempered/Loves the outdoors/ Adventurous/ Neat

Sexual orientation: Pansexual

Mage power: 4 (from birth) + 5 (from spiders)

Mage vice: Childishness

Achemi's past is shrouded in mystery. It's not that she won't talk about it- she just gives a different version every time. However, something in her demeanour speaks of her past as a military commander. Life in exile has not been easy, but the wastelands are in some ways safer than what she's left behind.

Ansyl Baranim née Aramia (mage/chaotic neutral)

Age: 25

Interest: Dancing

Traits: Dog-person/ Loves the outdoors/ Rebellious/ Unstable/ Brave

Sexual orientation: Bisexual

Mage power: 1 (from birth)

Ansyl was married off much too young, for the sake of a political alliance which never really materialized. She's always felt like she was playing a role as a lady, an ill-fitting suit. Lost in the woods after escaping her captors, she survived thanks to her resourcefulness, before being bitten by a direwolf. The Baranim have accepted her, but only Yakon knows about her shape-shifting when the moon is full.

Yakon Baranim (mage/lawful good)

Age: 20

Interest: Praying

Traits: Dog-person/Family-orientated/Vain/Animal handler/Handy

Sexual orientation: Heterosexual

Mage power: 2 (from birth)

Mage vice: Vanity

Yakon's very sensitive about the scars left-over from the skulling disease he suffered as a child. He was almost glad when his twin was disfigured after a direwolf attack- although he would never admit it to himself. Used to live in the shadows of his mother and Marek, he was the first surprised when Ansyl took a liking to him. Although he's the least magically gifted Baranim, he's the most spiritual, and is the one in charge of appeasing The Beast.

Marek Baranim (mage/lawful neutral)

Age: 20

Interest: Babies

Traits: Family-orientated/ Angler/ Loves to swim/ Loves the cold/Nurturing

Sexual orientation: Heterosexual

Mage power: 5 (from birth) + 2 (from spiders)

Mage vice: Sloth

Marek hides his soft side under a layer of arrogance and self-righteousness. He's grown up with an acute sense of missing out on what the world has to offer, and is somewhat embarassed of his ignorance. He loves his family more than anything, but he knows, and his prophetic powers have confirmed, that he needs to leave them to make a life of his own.

It's a birthday present for the Keep, imported from Vvardenfell!

This is a default replacement of "First Mate's Desk", "Tire Stack by Autohaus Autobahn" and "Pile of Junk by You Got Muscle". These were all replaced with items from TES: 3 Morrowind converted by Daislia. Similar to all my previous defaults, you will need to right-click on the thumbnails to update them. The desk also comes with four new textures to fill out the rest of the desk's swatch.

An additional note to Simmers who use the original desk. The original desk is actually a table and chairs could be used on all sides of the desk. This is no longer the case. I have no interest in updating the original table but feel free to use my textures if you prefer to use the desk as a table.

Another upcoming BaCC pic I had to post separately because it's easily one of my favorites, if not the most favorite pic I took this rotation. And I took, like, a lot (over 40 photosets!)

Big part of the reason why I'm so partial to this one is that it was a sort-of collab. The mega-talented @gphoenixsims came to my rescue and did the hard job of adding flow and movement to the sims' hairs, giving the pic that extra something it was lacking. (What, you thought I drew all that fabulous hair fluttering about in the wind? Think again! 🤣)

Let me tell you though, editing this pic after Gphoenix sent it back to me was a trip and a half. G went above and beyond and edited both the boys' hairs as well as some clipping on Phillip's boot, but there was still some other fine-tuning to be done on the pic. Long story short, me pulling the pic into Photoshop after G had already worked her magic on it felt a lot like THIS:

Gphoenixsims, if you're reading this: I love you and your mad Photoshopping skillz. You're the James McNeill Whistler to my Mr. Bean! ♥
