Strangetown Extras: Hot Lobsters

[strangetomato]

Man, I have this silly pic that I really need to share. It would make a GREAT teaser pic, but it's not really a good summary of the chapter it relates to at all. So now you just get to look and LOL with me, if you want. It has Ripp and lobsters in it, so you know it's good.










Kendall: Ripp, baby, you're hotter than this steaming hot plate full of lobsters.

Ripp: REALLY?! Thanks, Kendall. I thought you hated me...


She does hate him, but that's the power of the FT romance aspiration bonus speaking. Ripp still throws up in his mouth when Kendall enters the room, but she's just sliding off her chair.

Seriously, I nearly pissed myself when Kendall showed up with the lobsters she autonomously cooked (this scene isn't taking place in a kitchen or even a dining room), and the heartfarting put me over the edge, to say nothing of Ripp's face. *snicker* The context is very funny too, but I'll have to stay quiet on that for now. ;)

This one seems like it would be good for a caption contest. I'm sure someone has something better than what I came up with. The presence of seafood is just asking for trouble, though...

Ripp: "What's that I smell?"

Sorry, it's the first thing that came to mind. :P

That is a cute picture. What was Ripp doing to get that face? Hee.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

*snerk* The boy does love his seafood.

He's pleased at himself for pounding his chest at someone. XD Surprise, surprise.

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

LOL, BOO KENDALL! I can't even think of anything for it.

And now I'm wondering why Kendall is there...

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Heheh. Get used to it, you'll be seeing plenty of her in an upcoming chapter.

... and where is there, anyway? It's not where you think it is. ;) It just has the same paint job (and there's a reason for that).

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

Naw, to be honest I'm starting to have a soft(er) spot for Kendall. I feel bad for her. (Well, I haven't seen your Kendall's backstory yet, but I feel bad for my Kendall.)

And now I'm trying to remember where there is... *resist urge to look through previous chapters to find out*

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

You'll feel for her a little more as you see her getting drawn into the mess that is the Grunt family. :P

I've had a scenario planned for her and the boys for almost forever, and I've been on the edge of reconsidering it as too zany, but I've decided that I don't really care if my story just spirals into self-indulgent absurdity. It's bound to jump the shark sometime, right? ;) Or has it already done that? Oh well... at least I'll have fun.

It's a new location, but it will seem very familiar. *hint, hint*

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

Aw, now I do feel bad for her. xD

No, it hasn't jumped the shark yet. I promise we would let you know if it did. :P

(Although it does depend on what exactly is going on. Is it a dinner? Does she invite Tank over to discuss their relationship and then Ripp and Buck just *happen* to be there? *whines*)

YOU'RE TORTURING ME. Is it The Grunt house redecorated? (For some reason I keep thinking of Stella and Jayne's place, but that makes no sense.)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Heheh. Is that a good thing? :P Now I'll just be waiting for the memo that I've jumped the shark. Or is there anything to really wreck here? It's always been a bit all over the place.

Lately, I feel like mashing things up and taking them less seriously, just to give myself a reason to pull back from it a little. Getting really deep into the characters is enjoyable, but I don't know... I feel sort of self-conscious about it now too.

This thing... it's really out there, and I think it's funny, but it's a bit WTF too. I'm still not completely sure I'll do it.

It's something like the Grunt house. It has the same paint on the walls. ;)

"Yay! Free dinner!"

He looks ridiculously excited, though I'm aware it's not because of the lobsters.

And this is one example of how the funniest sim pictures are the ones you don't plan at all! Free Will is an amazing comedian :P.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'd be excited if someone just showed up with some lobsters for me. :D They had a big lobster-eating party after this shot. "They" being Tank, Kendall, and Ripp (and one other).

I know. It's great, isn't it? Unless I'm doing something really complicated with a large number of sims, I try to leave free will on. Some of those things are just comedy gold.

"Kendall, has anyone spoken to you about your feminine hygiene needs?"

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

*snerk* Is Ripp going to give her a talking to? Seems like he'd be the wrong person to get hygiene advice from. :P

[naughtydolphin.livejournal.com]

ah, but he'd be an expert in feminine hygiene!

And since he's not facing her, it could be *sniff sniff* "Kendall? is that you?"

it'd work better if it was a plate of fish, but you can't have everything!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

It's so wrong, but... yeah, I'm going to. :P

"Smells like salmon, keep on slammin'"

"Smells like trout, GTFO!"

It really makes no sense, but I laugh every time. XD

[naughtydolphin.livejournal.com]

lolol those are great!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I know. LOL - How do I tell the difference?!

[petite-sim.livejournal.com]

"Kendall, what do you plan to do with those lobsters?"

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I really don't want to know what Ripp would use lobsters for, besides eating... but now I'm so thinking about it. *snicker* Thanks for that!

[dothesmustle.livejournal.com]

Kendall goes through 8473847 different hairstyles. (Or just..three)

I don't have anything to caption, because the second I look at Ripp's face, I crack up. It's like...8DDDDDDDDDDD

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Can't a girl get a new haircut for every new life stage without being judged by you? God, you're SO JUDGEMENTAL! O>: (LOL - I messed up the smilie, but I like it that way.)

I know. His face is crazy. I love his gleaming white teeth and how you can see EVERY ONE OF THEM.

[swhedonberry.livejournal.com]

Kendall: "Be still my heart, the manwhore of LFT."

Ripp: "What's that you got there, sweetie? Ooh,lobster. you must really like Tank. All you ever gave me was crabs."

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

*snicker* Crabs...

Good one.

[franwi.livejournal.com]

Hehehe, I like that.

[franwi.livejournal.com]

Um... something about Ripp getting tail. Lemon butter, baby!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. He likes the tail. ;)

Garlic butter is good too. This could get messy...

(Seriously, though... eating lobsters is the messiest thing ever.)

[tanathir.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha oh man that's a great Ripp expression!

And ya know where my mind went when you said "hot lobsters" is the B-52 soung "Rock Lobster." I have no idea why. Just a little peek into the mind of Tanathir. It's a bit strange and sticky in here.

Bandwidth exceeded, so I will have to check it out later to see the picture.

[sofieamalien.livejournal.com]

Bandwidth exceeded.... aww... I'll check back later...

[foxy-princess.livejournal.com]

I'm too late!! ;__;

[showercapfrog.livejournal.com]

Nooo! There is no picture! And from reading the comments, it sounds like it was funny. *cries, and awaits the beginning of the next month*

[a-gates.livejournal.com]

So cute and funny! Ripp definitely has a way to make me smile, even when it's too early in my opinion to be doing anything but sleeping. (over here) lol. Oh Ripp, I love you! :)
