The Gorey Legacy Part 5
Aug. 1st, 2008 12:49 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
doronjosimaI've determined that between work (two jobs), life and all that, it's nigh-on impossible for me to do big updates with hundreds of pictures (or even get to play TS2 that much). Thus, I'll be doing mini-updates when I can squeeze them in around everything else. That way, I don't feel like a complete loser for leaving all three of my readers hanging. XD Anyway, on to those wacky gothy Goreys.
As I mentioned at the end of my last post, I'd managed to track down the missing Enayla skintone. Huzzah!
Epergne models her proper fishbelly white skintone to start us off. She's actually pretty cute, giant lips aside.
Boggerslosh back in his proper skin, in what is possibly the most unflattering snapshot ever taken of him.
And of course, our Founding Father, Friedrich in his usual whiter shade of pale.
Naenae fails as a family sim as she tries to put one of the twins through the kitchen floor.
Having helped raise my twin brothers, I can honestly tell you that finding two babies emitting green stink clouds and screaming is completely par for the course.
And what is the rest of the family doing while the babies reek and shriek? Why, Naenae is spoilering some movies, Epergne is stuffing her face, and Friedrich is sensing a major disturbance in the Force.
It's here that I realize these gothic types are too poor to afford much in the way of lighting. It also lends a rather sinister cast to this snapshot of Boggy coming in to find Epergne playing with his toys. You can almost hear the plinkety piano music of doom.
Boggerslosh: Hey, hit the road, sis.
Now it's goofy face time!
Boggy, while watching sports. How can such a gothic child have sports as his One True Hobby?! I guess even he doesn't believe it, since he makes this face every time he watches sports, yet keeps rolling sports-related wants.
Friedrich, playing chess. He makes the best chess faces of anyone, I think. Especially since he's only ever playing himself.
He also likes to tend their sickly apple tree in his jammies. He sometimes is a complete failure as a goth, no care for his personal appearance.
Naenae dotes on her children. She and Epergne dance together quite a bit.
Epergne: Ewww, kissing. I'm outta here!
No Naenae! It's not a peach, despite the color! Don't eat the baby!
Naenae utilizes the "talk through" action to make some cutting remarks about how the family seriously needs cash. Way to be passive-aggressive there, lady. Epergne just wants to get past them so she can avoid this tense adult conversation.
Naenae:Oooh, honey, you're so hot when you change the baby!.
Inappropriate much?
Boggy demonstrates a precocious understanding of the family's economic situation when he brings up how both parents could use a promotion.
It's birthday time for the twins and Naenae couldn't be more bored.
The arcane baby-flinging ritual is completed!
And... what the hell is going on with that hair?!
On the other side of the house, Friedrich has assisted the other twin with her flinging and unusual hair choices seem to be the order of the day.
Baby makeovers are done (essentially, just hair changes, babies don't need makeup), and little Embley is cute as a button.
Naenae does the honors for Eepie, and she is likewise very cute. They got different hair colors so I could tell them apart, honestly. Also, Naenae favors Eepie, while Friedrich favors Embley, so the haircolors each match their closest parent.
Eepie again, because she is darling.
And Embley, for the same reason.
Boggy and Epergne play Red Hands. Again.
Meanwhile, Naenae has no idea why the nanny is STILL THERE. Go home already, lady!
Boggerslosh comes home from school in a fine fettle.
He brings home a little girl caked with blusher. Uh, whut?
Epergne also comes home from school quite cheerfully. Maybe she's brought home a little friend from the baby beauty pageant circuit as well!
Nope, just that same kid who's time travelled from the Dust Bowl in the 1930's. Why on earth is that kid in this neighborhood too?
Eepie and Embley are clearly going out for the synchronized screaming team.
Meanwhile, Blusher Girl and Depression Era Kid make a love connection over chess, and completely ignore the children who actually live in the house they are in.
Boggy continues his love/hate relationship with sports, and Naenae teaches Eepie to talk, then bolts from the room.
Friedrich teaches Embley to talk, and she tries to bust out of thebathroom nursery (the potty confused me!) as fast as possible before he tries to teach her anything else.
This bodes ill, she fell asleep a mere foot or so away from the easily accessible baby blanket. Please don't be dumb, Embley!
Epergne likes to tinker. In the dark. Fortunately, not in leather pants. (Sorry, very bad fanfic/fandom reference...)
It's Boggerslosh's birthday! Clearly, he is wishing that his sister would hurry up and get off the computer so he can have some damn cake already.
Boggerslosh: Oh, the pain, the pain!
Epergne: Shut UP! It doesn't hurt! Does it? MoooooOOOooooom!
Boggy is surprised to see he still has hands.
His clothes were perfectly fine, so he just snagged some piercings and a little eyeliner.
And way to go Mom, carrying baby poo through the living room when he's trying to take a good MySpace picture. SO EMBARRASSING, GUH! Anyway, Boggy turned out pretty cute, I think.
And that's all for now! I hope I can get another mini-update done soonish, if life will just stop getting in the way of my game.
