Simstoryteller drabbles: Tenderly and Condom

[strangetomato]

To get myself into working on the next chapter, I decided to do a couple of the weekly drabbles from the list at Sim Storytellers.







Prompts: Tenderly, Condom
Characters: Ophelia Nigmos, Ripp Grunt
Word count: 100
Pic count: 2

Note: Condom follows directly after Tenderly, as I have arranged them here.






Tenderly




As they waited for the cab to arrive, he reached for her hand, and she allowed him to hold it. The oddness hadn't quite worn off yet, and her heart still leapt a little whenever he touched her like that, with obvious tenderness.

She looked over at him, and he turned his head to meet her eyes. He smiled, but neither of them said anything. Words weren’t necessary. She could see that he was happy for her, and happy to be able to stand there, holding her hand.




Ophelia smiled. After several minutes, she spoke.

"That look really suits you."




Condom




Ripp loved compliments.

Sure, most people did, but him especially. It likely stemmed from all those years where he heard Tank getting praised while he was only criticized. He loved to get attention in any form at all, but never more than when it came from Ophelia. He all but lived for her approval.




They were easing into something more than just friends, and those small things were significant. Holding her hands was thrilling enough, for now. The rest could come later.

Still, he kept a condom in his pocket, just in case. You could never be too ready, right?

Yay! Good for them!

I know it's supposed to be a bit spoiler-y, but I'm not surprised. ;) I sort of thought it might happen.

Squee!

I GOTTA TELL YOU. As much as I love Johnny, I just lakjdflskjflksdjflskd smush over Ripp and Ophelia. SO MUCH. THEY ARE SO CUTE and I'm SHIPPING THEM COMPLETELY. They aren't together in my own game, but I forsee me changing that in the future *cackles*

Too too too too cute, these two.

And, I noticed that we don't really get a good look at Ripp in these (well... aside from the ass shot, but Ripp ass shots are always a good thing!) so I'm going to guess that someone got himself a new look perhaps? I love the long hair, but he's one of those sims that looks good no matter what!

Being that I love both Ripp and Johnny...Ophelia does look really good with Ripp, but she looks nice with johnny too. My brain is racked. No matter the outcome, the story is going to be good.

Ripp and Ophelia are so cute together! And OOOH!!! Somebody cut their hair! ;)

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

Ah. Beautiful, succinct writing... evocative screenshots. I'm entranced. ^_^

[simgarooop.livejournal.com]

That was so sweet, very tender too :) (yeah, pun intended).

While I get the warm fuzzies (is that even a word?) seeing the three of them together, and getting used to the idea of being more than friends, I can't help it but wonder how is the rest of the town take the idea of that kind of relationship. I think the three of them couldn't care less, though.

Yeah, but that was a bit off topic. Yup, I also noticed the "real" spoiler in this drabble. Is there a play coming up in your story? ;)

So cute! And I love that one drabble is more about Ophelia and the other is more about Ripp and they're both still unsure, but getting used to the togetherness. And he loves her so much and she knows and it's all good. Love these guys!

Also, I wish to see Ripp's new hair! I know he has new hair!

Final Comments: NEEDS MOAR JOHNNY.

[amaryssobellus.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm loving Ripp and Ophelia together too. They're just so sweet.

HAIRCUT! I caught it. :D

:( Nooooo...not ANOTHER girl stealing Ripp from Jill. SIGH.

...still though, it's _sort of_ cute. :)

[meetme2theriver.livejournal.com]

Yay. I like these. :) Ripp and Ophelia are so cute together. And after reading the others' comments, I really wanna see Ripp's hair now. Did he let Jaxy at him with the scissors after all?

[simfulacts.livejournal.com]

Heh, that last line is just so Ripp. I can't see these characters as different than the way you've imagined them anymore.

[madame-ugly.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I notice you don't show us Mr. Grunt's HEAD. Could there be a makeover hiding there? (Ophelia's words make me think so--that and Ripp wanting to change to make daddy Johnny approve of him and hopefully "allow" him to bone Ophelia).

(sorry, I just grossed myself out with that part in the parenthesis--I still see the mommy Ophelia and daddy Johnny thing with Ripp and "daddy" allowing "son" to bone "mommy" is. . .yeah. . .too freaky even for me)

Ripp must have been a boy scout. He's always prepared.

That was so beautiful! <3
I can't wait to see where all this is going now... :)

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

They were both great, I love the scenery used. I like Ripp/Ophelia as a couple. :)

[saunasims.livejournal.com]

Oooooh! Tell me you gave him that sexy short roman haircut, yes yes? :D I think it came with FreeTime or Bon Voyage or something. I've lost traaaaack. But it's short yet not uber-tidy and I have yet to find a Sim that doesn't look good in it. And Ripp'll *rock* it.

[sim-insanity.livejournal.com]

Ripp got a haircut!!!1!!one!!!elventytwo!!!

[zepheera.livejournal.com]

*begins to wonder if Strange is teasing us and Ripp hasn't done a THING to his hair!!!*

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

Oh, Ripp's probably got the big ol' Nervous mohawk behind that artfully placed cutoff on the pic.

Who am I kidding... he'd never take the time to maintain those perfectly chiseled points. :P

I still only like Ophelia in your game. In my game I hate her. *hates*

Edited to add that I only like Ophelia in your game :P
