Worst break ever...

[strangetomato]

So, despite being completely unfocused on writing lately, I've found some renewed interest in my sims. I had some time to play the game today (as all of my silly posts attest) and now I'm very excited to move forward with the story, especially where Frances is concerned.

Sorry to spoil so much here, but I'm just so excited for him.

This is, indeed, a romantic moment for Frances (and double spoiler on the new hairdo, but you surely saw that coming). The cafeteria worker is a peeping tom. *snort* How many times will I crack up at that framing hands animation? Surely, a billion times.



I'm still a little out of it where writing is concerned, but I'm thinking that I might be able to get an update moving sometime near the end of the week. I know I must seem a bit crazy lately, but thanks for putting up with me. I really appreciate all of you being there for me, even if it's just the impersonal internet. I feel lucky to have this right now.

I was saving some pics for an outtakes post (which doesn't seem to be getting off the ground either), but here's a little glimpse:



That's some scary shit, right there. :P

Oooh, I wonder if you're right. I have already left a bit of a foreshadowing hint in my wake. ;) (Obvious storyteller is obvious. :P)

Do it. Make the drawing. :D

WOO! Frances is finally going to get some! You do your thing, Frances, you and your cool, new hairstyle.

Haha, I laughed at the Cafeteria worker being a peeping tom. Oh, those pervy cafeteria workers.

Lately I've had a Maxis Curious screaming in my ear to get my update out too. He's getting really irritating!

Before your story I never knew what to do with the poor guy. I'd usually just have somebody move in with him since he had such a nice house, give him a makeover (that was definitely the first thing I always did, don't know why) and then I would just always leave him uncontrollable and he would just do what he wanted and I never needed to take care of him at all- It was rather boring. But now, you have made me grow to love him. He's definitely one of my favorite maxis sims too.

I'll be happy? Does that mean me in particular or everyone? You keep emphasizing it, so I'm getting curious. ;)

Speaking of some of my favorite boys, here's another set that I dearly enjoy

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

LOL. It's like he's swimming in the mattress!

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

Here's another for your amusement.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Aww! :) Grunt love.

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

That. Is. Disturbing... Especially where the left hand is located. o_O (They need to have a way to lj-cut in comments to protect the eyes of the innocent! Lol.)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I love the mouth-to-crotch action in this one. XD

[zepheera.livejournal.com]

I tried to keep them close to how you have them dressed, but I didn't have the scar for tank's cheek *cries!*

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

Heh. Sorry. With any luck, Photobucket will delete it... :D

But maybe his arm's just under his butt?

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

From the smile, I think Bao-Dur loved it, too. :D

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

And we thought that woohoo was so innocent... LOL!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Man, I'm so excited... I want to just spilled the beans right now, but I'll have to wait. You'll see it coming a mile away, though, I'm sure. :P

Frances rules with his new 'do. He seems so much more confident (and a lot more like Rufus Wainwright, but that's only natural. ;D I plan to push the resemblance.)

Seriously, check this out:

Very Worthingtonesque, don't you think? He plays the piano too. ;) Very beautifully, I might add. *loves Rufus Wainwright too*

*also loves Leonard Cohen*

Never trust those cafeteria workers. They're mega creepy.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

This is the album version, and it's much clearer, but there's no visual to go with it.

I think I've pretty much connected Frances and Rufus in my mind, but I have no problem with that. They're pretty similar, really.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Nah. Photobucket seems to miss the truly pervy stuff, as long as they have undies on. :P

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Just beautiful. XD

LOL!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I love the insane grin on his face. :P

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm happy to have played some part in awakening you to the potential of Frances. He's just great, isn't he?

It's not so much you in particular (if I get what you're implying correctly), but I think you'll be pleased with the outcome.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

If you want the scar, you can find it here:

I love the crisp button-up shirt on Tank. I see him dressing like that when he's a bit older, for sure.

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, he's enjoying himself. But I still think he looks like he's swimming... like he's doing the backstroke. Or is that the breast stroke? That's Buck, right? The hair's right, and the eye color, but I can't tell if his nose is Buck's or not because of the angle.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's Buck. This was taken during his deflowering with Jill, as a teen.

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

Well as long as dear, sweet Frances is happy, then I'm happy!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Oh, he's happy. :) No worries there.
