Strangetown Extras: Ripp's amazing week

[strangetomato]

I came across this screencap, and thought I'd share it. I was going to save it for an extras post, but I seem to be really bad at getting into those lately. I have tonnes of material, but I can't muster the energy to post it, since trying to be funny is hard. I'll post one eventually, though, I promise. I have stuff that goes WAY back.

For now, here's one that just made me smile.

More of the same, huh? I'll see what I can do, Ripp.

Yeah, not a bad week at all. Nice haircut too.

I'm such a sucker for Ripp and Ophelia together. It's a bit ridiculous really. The way he constantly rolls wants for her doesn't help at all.

That's so weird, I *just* went through your sim story directory and saw the outtakes post and the "coming soon" thing and I got excited.
I always love your outtake posts. :]

Ripp and Ophelia are cute, but I'm so attached to Johnny(I wrote Jimmy as a typo..o.0) and Ophelia. They're so adorable and djhsdhjs. Ripp's adorable puppy dog smiles at Phi make me want them together, though. :x IT'S ALL HIS FAULT.

That IS weird. You're psychic, I guess. I feel bad for some of the hollow promises in that story directory, like the Llama Spit Cove prosperity challenge thing. That hasn't made much progress. One day, though... I'll give it another try.

Yeah, I'm attached to Jimmy too. :P And Jimmy and Ophelia together. I found a screencap of his want to "have very first woohoo with Ophelia', which I thought was super sweet. I had to give him what he wanted, so I locked it.

I guess I am psychic. :P A prosperity challenge seems like a lot of work. It will still be awesome to see Ripp and his trillion alien children. XD

Haha, did you mean to typo Jimmy on purpose? I agree that they are sweet together, but then Ripp has go and be all adorable and in love with Phi and it makes my decisions on the whole thing torn. :P

Yeah, the prosperity thing takes some time to play out (which is actually great for slow-moving plot farmers like me), but my main problem with getting that started was going too detailed in plot and character. If I have any hope to actually do that one, I need to use a lighter touch. I was going for humour, and I remember getting some decent results with the "Tank" character, aka James Davenport. I just need to complete the writing of the first week for the other characters.

Ripp's alien kids are really great, and super cute (can you guess who the pollinator was?). I really should get back into that hood. Playing old man "Ripp", aka Dick, was way too much fun.

Yeah, I called him Jimmy on purpose. :P Jennys and Jimmys - sounds like De La Soul lyrics.

As for being torn... I'm a little torn myself, but I do have a plan for that part of the story, and as of right now, I don't think it will change, no matter how appealing the alternatives may be.
