The Gorey Legacy Mk. II Part 6: Baby Time!
So, last time I posted, Epitwee was about to give birth to her second set of twins. Her previous three children had no outward signs of getting any of her husband Hal's DNA at all- she pretty much managed to steamroller over his genetics with her own, 100%.
The first of the babies is born, and spitefully closes her eyes the instant I snap a picture. Is it Twee's genetics only all over again...?
Success! Baby girl #1 gets Hal's eyes! Score one for the Halster! Baby girl #1 is named Louise. (Again, all names are taken from the works of Edward Gorey.)
Baby girl #2 also has Hal's eyes! Two points to Hal! Baby girl #2 is named Ortenzia.
The minute the babies are put down to sleep, Epitwee and Hal attempt to make another one. Thanks, ACR!
Celia's upstairs room is finished while she sleeps! The decorating elves came in the night!
Her autonomous bed making is unexpected; she doesn't have many neat points.
Celia is also mega bitchy, since she grew up fairly poorly.
.... Ooooorrrrr not, you know. Bipolar, maybe? One minute she's flipping her shit over nothing, the next she's quietly and calmly playing with dolls.
The dolls were not enough to calm her down, apparently, as she's still pissed about growing up poorly later. And, yes, the refrigerator is the best thing to complain to in the house, clearly.
I love how Epitwee's stompy boots are squarely planted on the rest of the homework stack while she helps Celia with hers.
Meanwhile, Quentin and Thump are quietly getting along swimmingly. It's cute, but as legacies go, it's pretty boring. But then, so are Quentin and Thump.
Hal seems to dote extra hard on Louise and Ortenzia, possibly due to outward genetic proof of paternity, yes/no? (Also, I have no idea which one this is. Identical babies are identical.)
If Quentin can make a muffin without failing, it might render him more exciting...!
Oh, Quentin. So close, and yet so far.
Epitwee: Is that Fail Muffin I smell?
Quentin: Yup!
As proof of his dullness, Quentin constantly rolls wants to do his homework. Not be helped with his homework, just to do it. Odd.
Celia is given an easel so she can work out some of her "issues" creatively, and discovers her One True Hobby is Arts & Crafts. Well, good, someone has to do heir portraits...
Quentin meets Bottom Summerdream, who is apparently completely colorblind. Or, a low level character in World of Warcraft. Works out to look the same, really.
I lose track of time yet again, and Quentin's birthday sneaks up on him. He tries to duck out from under the confetti, but no dice.
Yeah, I'd make that horrified face too if I suddenly found myself in that outfit.
Hal was sent to work on his logic skill for his job, but instead decided to attempt to summon aliens. He wants another baby, by any means necessary! (His summoning failed, no one else was there to click on the portal... ho ho, more WoW jokes! I am such a wit!)
This family really loves pancakes. They eat them constantly.
Finally, a nice clear shot of Quentin's teen makeover. He's got slightly odd features somehow...
The older set of twins get on like a house on fire. Endless games, from red hands to Mary Mack.
Quentin is still a fairly sober and responsible kid- autonomous baby-tending is always welcome.
These two really are great friends.
A makeup-caked teen comes home from school with Quentin. This is with my makeup replacement defaults. Girl, you best hope your mom doesn't see you went to school looking like that! (To be honest, I would have gone to school looking like that- but I'd have washed my face before I went home!)
Whoops! Surprise baby pop! I wasn't paying attention to Hal & Twee's sex life.
Finally, the girls are no longer infants. Louise goes first, and grows up into a very fussy dress.
She's cute, and seems to have inherited her mom's totally evil eyebrows! :D
Twee goes to bring Ortenzia to her cake, but it doesn't quite take for some reason. Thus, Ortenzia gets dumped on the floor by her exhausted pregnant mother who goes to bed.
Luckily, Quentin has nothing better to do going on, so he helps Ortenzia grow up.
Ortenzia is also an adorable toddler!
That's all for now, just a short update. I'll be going to a big anime convention this upcoming weekend (for work, not for fun, alas), so my time's been pretty eaten up with prep for that. That also contributed to the shortness of this update, but I wanted to get one out at least since it'd been a while. Thanks for reading!
