Strangetown extras: Feeling the love

[strangetomato]

Let's take a moment to remember the many faces of love on this, the 14th of February. As our friends in Strangetown have shown us, there are many types of love out there. Whether in an established relationship, one just starting out, or with someone you barely know, an unrequited crush, self love, or love of family and friends. Love comes in so many forms.

Sometimes it's the little things that show the greatest love of all...

Happy Valentine's Day! Go ahead and enjoy your favourite sort of love.

I like how you didn't just show kissing, but the little things, like helping a friend when they're sick, doing the dishes, reading a romance novel. :P

I think one of my favorite shots was Vidcund getting thrown from the spaceship. LOL!!!!!!

But, of course, you can't mention the word love, without including Ripp looking at the mirror and taking pictures of himself. Will that man ever love anyone else more than himself?

(Update soon, yes?)

Awww! Very nice. I think Pascal and baby Mint is my favorite. Lol'd at Olive and the sexy Mr.Death. ;) Who is that with Bella? And the one below Lazlo and Crystal at the Restaurant... is that just them with makeovers?

Boo for working weekends! I vote for two-parter, that way we might get something to read over the weekend. But you know, no pressure. ^_^

That was so sweet!
This montage actually moved me!

And I agree that sometimes, the greatest forms are love are not the ones that holidays like today's and the mass media often tell us about. Romantic/Couple love is nice, but so is to feel surrounded by good friends and a warm family. And to love your-self, as Ripp showed us in the pics (LOL, although I'm not sure his self-steem is as high as he tries to make you think) .

You don't need to do big things either. The pics of the omelette, the bath, the comforting and playing with younger siblings. Those are subtle but strong forms of love. I was reminded of my little sisters :).

And just to note that Tank is not as "newbie" in the romance matters as Ripp might think. I'm reading your last update (I was in the middle, but then the electricity went out for a while) and now that I've seen your pics, I'm giggling.

Thanks for the update! :)

*snicker* Vidcund's sweet alien loving!

And I agree, it's more than just the romantic love (for Nocheat, I had to just do the kissy stuff or I'd STILL be sorting the pics!).

Ooh, Pascal, I see you staring longingly at your Nervous. (great, now I'll have to go into my Strangetwon when I get home and let my Pascal/Nervous get their smooch on again)

Reading to little Buck! *sniff* This was a great way to celebrate the day!

Are those the romantic photobooth pics? I adore the one of Rip with his arms over his head.

Aww, how beautiful. I loved Olive and Tank with the romance novel! Just adorable, all of it.
Wonderfully put together.

Aww, I thought this was so cute. I was listening to Damaged by TLC and it made it all the much cuter.

I just about squeed when I saw Buck staring at Jill when they were children.

Then when I saw Nervous and Pascal I HAD to squee.

The Johnny and Ophelia pictures, they are so sweet together. I hope he chooses her and they stay together and be adorable and such. Leave Stella to do the pollinating. And Lola.

Aww this was so great!! :D I loved it. :)

I especially loved the Jill/Ripp pictures, but you already knew that. :D

The pictures of Ophelia/Johnny made me laugh cause Ripp is always just there watching them. :P

Happy V-day to you too. :)

AWWWWW!

After experiencing my first ever Valentine's Day yesterday (we don't celebrate it in Denmark... ) I was so happy to see a Valentine's Day post! With all our fav. Strangetown residents!! HURRAY! For some reason I really like the one with Loki and Circe...

I finally got to read chapter 21 too - I've been sick and haven't been up foir reading anything too long, because it hurts to look at the screen - biut it is as always a pleasure to read your work! I really love this place!!

OMG I'm going home in a week! I better start packing! I've been here (USA) for 6 months already and that's all the goverment will allow - if you're just a visitor/traveller like me. I've had a WONDERFUIL time and I'm SERIOUSLY gonna miss the people I met here and to be in the same timezone as everyone else.. It's gonna be good to go home too, though. I got a job now!!! And things have been turning out really lucky for me the last year or so.

I'll continue reading your work when I get home - but I will also be playing my own sims! HURRAY!

I'll be looking forward for the next update!

Love
Sofie

I was laughing at all the shots of Phi/Johnny with Ripp in the background or watching them, lol. Loved seeing the "kiddy" pics again from when they were younger. Buck was so adorable! ;) Is that Chloe and ERIN making out on the bed? LOL. Must be my imagination.

*sigh* Wonderful post! :D

I'd forgotten all about Kendall Lawson! Aww, Tank's first love. Now that I think of it, Ripp must have done quite a lot of psychological damage when he made out with her to get back at Tank. I think if he'd had a romantic partner back when he was a teen, it would have made it easier for him to loosen up more! :/

Awww, Buck as a child! I missed that. So cute! Not that he isn't cute now, as a teenager, of course. I love Buck no matter how old he is. Darn, why didn't you post the pics of Lyla interacting with her sons? That would have made me go 'awww' some more! XD

I love that pic of Buck & Jill in the hot tub! Those two need to get married and have babies NOW! :D:D:D

LOL, Ripp seems to almost always be around in pics of Ophelia & Johnny together. Just check out that one with all three of them in the hot spring (Is it a hot spring? Wait - you don't have Bon Voyage, so I guess it's CC?), Ripp seems to be staring intently at the two of them! XD

Oh yea, and LOL at the picture with Ripp and his photobooth picture! I'll bet that's the person he really and truly loves.
