Disclaimer: These picture are years old, as in before infants. Like 2022 ish. I've been gone for a whiel because my laptop ran my game with its mods and gigabytes of CC like shit and it made things frustrating.
But I have a new one now!
Umbriel: Heya, Bentley. Where've you been?
Bentley: Well I fell down my apartment's fire escape stairwell which isn't great. I'm seriously worried about myself now.
Umbriel: Just stay here, dude. Make use of my caring nature.
Bentley: I wouldn't want to impose-
Umbriel: Eh. It wouldn't be. Wait, can I have your jacket? I think Acacia would look cool.
Bentley: Well let me get inside first.
Blake:...Is this weird to anyone? I feel like this is weird.
Baako: Yeah I'm not comfortable at all.
Blake: And yet you keep busting a groove.
Baako: Yeah, your auntie has good taste in electronica. Sick beats.
Blake: Oh boy! More weird men in my space, love that for me!
Bentley: Well I'm actually technically your housemate.
Blake:...Umbriel, right? She likes taking in strays. My mother and I were the first. You won't be the last.
Bentley: Yes, I'm going to die very soon.
He can have an intro anyway. Bentley Pederson is an Ambitious Goofball who loves the outdoors.
Amos: -yes, you ought to join the Scouts, young man.
Kenya: Psh yeah if you wanna be a professional suckup like you're training for.
Geoffrey: Oooh, are they gonna teach you to put on cool makeup?
Amos: Technically they did. I got a real steady hand!
Bentley as an outdoors-lover is being put to work.
Bentley: Oh boy hope I don't fall. I suppose there has to be a catch to free shelter, right?
Marcus got a makeover.
Marcus: I think I'm gonna like it here. When does Acacia get home?
...Midnight.
Marcus:...At least she left some leftovers.
Blake's dad finally showed up on his own. Only took a week of them living here.
Blake: Yeah what's the deal with that.
Caleb:...You moved and I couldn't find-
Blake: You're a vampire with heightened senses and super-speed, that's not a real excuse.
Caleb: Fine, I was waiting for you to grow up and stop being so blobby and annoying.
Blake:...Wow. Alright. Well, Mum wants you on our side, so come on in!
Caleb:...Huh?
Caleb: Sooo...how is Acacia then?
Blake: Haha! Auntie Umby! He's acting like he cares now!
Umbriel: -yes, I'm on the phone with your mother, Blake. 'Cacia, that's them. No I don't think Caleb was trying to avoid you. Yes, I'm sure he'll look out for your son.
Caleb:...I, uh, sure will!
Marcus: So...you really just live here now?
Bentley: Apparently so!
Marcus: It's just that...there's three rooms, the big one is Umbriel's, I have downstairs with Acacia and her kid, and...
Bentley: You know, I'll figure it out. Living alone at this age lead to me almost breaking my spine.
Oly: That's Umbriel, huh. Apparently we didn't have enough ghosts around here.
Bentley, offscreen: There's a little life in me yet!
Caleb: Aight I'm out *runs*
Marcus: *coughs on fumes* Do you MIND
Nice to know Acacia's boys are getting along.
Caleb: So...how did you die? Old age or some pathetic shit like that? I could have changed it all.
Dion: If this some sort of pitch it isn't fucking working, that was just cruel.
Acacia: Hey guys can you leave, this is important. And private.
Acacia: Welp. I thought it might be so.
Couldn't resist a Marcus-Acacia baby.
Acacia: Yeah, neither could I. This is kind of what I wanted, but it could blow up in my face all the same.
Acacia: Heyyyy MARCUS I'm pregnant!
Marcus: Oh wow, that's...that's...gonna be a lot of work for me, isn't it. What are we protecting you against now?
Acacia: Everything. All the time. They never stop. I'm being watched.
Bentley: So...
Oly: Yes this is your final housemate to meet. My sister.
Bentley: That must have been a fun childhood you had.
The next morning...
Acacia: Um. Blake. You're getting a sibling.
Blake: In a 'next step with Marcus' way or a 'full-blood relation' way?
Acacia: Darling I love you but the thought of reconnecting with Caleb in that way makes me - and that's my breakfast coming up.
Umbriel is pregnant also.
Umbriel: Jesus Christ I feel rough. And I have this weird craving for your leftover zaatar.
Acacia: Good. Take it. I'd only puke it up.
Umbriel: There's a nonzero chance I'll do the same, dear.
The need for a second computer was growing pretty urgent. Unfortunately, the house has had a lot of new residents and we're not quite at full legacy money. Skilling spaces are a bit cramped.
Case in point.
Umbriel: OMG dude do you have to do that right here?
Marcus: Well this is the only mirror I can see myself standing at attention. So, in short...yes.
Blake asked Umbriel for some advice, which I thought was sweet.
Blake: Auntie Umby...having a half-sibling is weird, isn't it? Like it's my mum...and some new guy.
Umbriel: Yeah, well just be happy that it's the one sibling with the one new person and nothing else.
Blake: Well. I guess I'll try. Do you have any reading materials you recommend for processing this change?
Umbriel: Seriously, you have a healthy state of mind, Blake...how? Maybe we need more non-Sutherlands in the family legacies.
Umbriel: Anyway, didn't your father already have a second child?
Blake: Yes, but it's not like I'm ever invited over.
Umbriel: Oooh. Hope I didn't pick at a wound with that. Sorry, kid.
Marcus: Goddammit Umbriel there's puke flecks all over the shower glass!
Umbriel: Dude. We're all trying our best here. take it up with Acacia.
Marcus:...No. No I'm not gonna do that and you should know why!
Umbriel: Enlighten me. You think she's that unstable then?
Marcus: You said it!
Ooooof.
Marcus needs to practice giving orders for his career.
Marcus: Shape up, Private! I need you to listen! ATTEN-TION!
Oly:...Seriously?
Bentley: *snicker*
Blake: Oh boy, Dad, second day in a row?
Bentley: I swear the bar used to be higher with these things...
Umbriel: He left his plasma fruitcake in the fridge here.
Bentley: God, get that stuff out, it stinks.
Caleb: Nice to see you all too!
Blake: Anyway...I'm making friends, Mum's having another baby, and-
Caleb: Really? Who let that happen?
Bentley: In a way they're all complicit.
Umbriel had a club meeting.
Blake: Oh my LAWD. Nerds. Nerds everywhere. Is this my future?
Umbriel: Yeah, probably. How are we all doing?
Cameron:...Damn do I have to fight that big guy or-
Umbriel: Nah, they worked it out, got engaged.
Yuki: I just had my YA birthday and I am too hungover for this.
Juniper: And I'm too pregnant.
Shea: You again, huh? You've got the space for two hours, nothing more nothing less.
Umbriel: Oh of course! And it looks like we're both gonna have kids, maybe one day they'll meet at-
Shea: Who says I'm pregnant? I never told you shit.
Umbriel: Uhhh...um...fuck, I'm sorry-
Shea: Nah I'm messing with you, I'm definitely having a kid. We could do playdates?
Blake is making friends too!
Christina Tinker: C'mon. You, me, cutting the Wifi and ruining their days.
Blake:...That seems cruel and unnecessary.
Christina: 'Tis the point.
Yuki:...What is that beeping? Answer your phone or turn it off, damn! Some of us are trying to crush Oly's Blicbloc score!
Erwin: I keep TELLING people about the radar they put inside me...and I'm never believed! Life is pain...
Yuki: You sound like teenage me.
Erwin: Wasn't that like 2 days ago?
Umbriel: Juniper guess what, my baby is kicking! Isn't it such a wonderful feeling?!
Juniper: Yeah, it was good with the twins-
Umbriel: But not...now...?
Juniper: It's not happening now. How far along do you think I am?
Umbriel: Damn I can't win today can I.
Shea: Seriously think before you speak woman.
Cameron: Oh esteemed club 'leader'..this doofus has been whining the whole time.
Umbriel: Beat it, Cameron, you're worse than Marcus and your code looks like shit.
Erwin: I'm sorry...I'm just constantly worrying. Looking over my shoulder. Thinking...knowing...they're coming for me.
Umbriel: You do sound like someone I know.
Erwin: Now how have my thoughts been duplicated?! I almost always wear my tinfoil hat!
Cameron:...Is this a bit or something? WTF.
Back at home, Oly wanted to catch up with an acquaintance...
Liberty: That's my dream, you know. Fly to the stars. That one right there.
Oly: Hey if anybody can do it...my Umbriel probably can!
Liberty: The...asteroid?
Umbriel hung out with her...friend? Surrogate granddad figure? Random old man who lives here now?
Umbriel: Oh my GAWD I just love my freelance clients so damn MUCH I get to hack the national security agency and everything!
Bentley: You probably shouldn't go round yelling that. I mean I'm no snitch, but not everybody's me.
Umbriel: *sigh* Oh you're right, Bentley. I'm just so genuinely excited about my life right now!
Bentley: Psh. Treasure that feeling, dear.
Marcus:...WHY am I being disrespected by a ROBOT now?
Marcus: Is there something wrong with me? Am I not a commanding presence? Must I lift more?
Liberty: Honestly you look 'roided-up enough. Maybe don't be so desperate about it.
Marcus: You're right. I just need to be secure in myself.
Liberty: Any Hallmark movie could have told you that.
Marcus: Eh, well it's good to be reminded of it all the same. Just 'cos I made Lieutenant by accident doesn't make me worth less!
Liberty: By - I now feel less secure in this country.
Another half-sibling for Blake.
Blake: *whines* So many! And isn't Mum's kid gonna have a bunch already as well! It's confusing.
Yeah, Marcus has other kids. From Lilith Pleasant (now Lobo) and Eva Capricciosa (now Talla). It's not surprising.
Acacia: Hi hon-
Marcus: No can do! I'm off to show that robot who's boss! Liberty taught me that!
Acacia: Like the concept...
Oly: Nah, she's just on her way out.
Acacia: I see.
Went through Neighbourhood Stories. The save killed off Strangerville's evil mayor.
Based.
Acacia: *squee* It's working! My online friend can finally save the town!
Bentley: Well. This has been a very interesting couple of days. I do like them, but if this is how youth are I'm glad I didn't ever actually have kids.
Marcus: Right, come on guys! Let's clean this house!
I guess he's putting his order-giving into practice.
Umbriel, through mouthful of zaatar: Piss off.
Bentley: I have told you of my extensive back issues, no?
Marcus: So...what do engaged people talk about? Weddings? Takeaway orders?...Promotions?
Acacia: Hush. HUSH! There's something on the air, I can hear it!
Marcus: Are all our dates going to be this way.
Blake: Yeah can't you guys like, leave the house for that.
Marcus: So, kid, what do you...do.
Blake: Right now? Busting a move. More generally? I read, talk to strangers, and think about how I couldn't keep my parents together.
Marcus: Damn, I don't love books. I do love people.
Acacia: Let me get those knots out, sweetheart.
Marcus:..Yeah, I'm always tense now that we're engaged.
Blake: HAHAHAHA did he seriously just say that?
Umbriel: Why are you getting the massage? Who's growing a whole person?
Marcus: Hey, I worked on her back plenty behind the scenes!
Umbriel:...Sure, OK.
Martina: Ugh, these toys suck!
Blake: -AHAHAHA I'd rather laugh at my mother and maybe-stepdad than talk to that brat!
Umbriel: Smart choice.
Brant: Hey guys, I know it was a bold choice but...I bought a new hat! From an ex-member of Guys and Dolls apparently.
Martina: Psh! Why not get the rest of the costume and look truly as stupid as you are?!
Bentley: Lol what crawled up this kid's ass.
Martina: Oh GAWD, now I remember you! You're the one with the crazy m-
Blake: Think before you SPEAK Martina, that's MY mother!
Acacia: Oh not all of us can be enlightened, Blake darling. They'll get her. She'll be sorry.
Blake: That is not my point!
Blake: We're doomed, Dino, just doomed! I've been reading up and I don't like what I saw. Everything is garbage especially MARTINA-
Paolo: Was surprised to hear you got engaged.
Marcus: Yeah I'm surprised as you about it all, really. She's got a kid too and everything.
Paolo: Honestly, Marcus fuckin' Flex, asking someone to marry him.
Marcus: Well she asked me.
Paolo: -so anyway, that's my budding bicuriosity discussed.
Marcus: How interesting...maybe I would have explored all of that, if it wasn't for the ol' rock on the finger.
Paolo: Ah, so it's just a ring to you?
Oly: C'mon. I'm right here. Eeehhhh but do I wanna deal with Acacia emotional?
Oly: Hey babe, how are you doing?
Umbriel: Uncomfortable, worried about my ability to parent, about Blake, also Acacia...
Oly: Um...anything good
Umbriel: *sigh* Having you right here, for one thing.
Umbriel: Well. I shouldn't bring myself down. I've got a great family and the best fiancee ever.
Oly: Speaking of...how about that wedding.
Umbriel: Love. I'm not getting married in this state.
Paolo: I know it's your house, your Bluetooth but did you have to play trash?
Marcus: But they did the Monster Mash?
Half this household loves spooky music. I guess Paolo here does not.
Umbriel wanted to invite Liberty over. This household seems to love her too.
Umbriel: Aaaaaah Liberty I just finished that Density Effect tie-in comic and I have all the thoughts!
Liberty:...I pointed at the parenting book, y'know.
Umbriel: Eh, I'm badass at everything without effort basically. It's kind of my thing. Why would I need that?
Liberty:...Fair enough. I read that thing two and a half times and my kid's still a brat.
Marcus: Hey Lib-
Liberty: I feel like there's a more important guest coming up to the door.
Sarah: Hi Dad, nice to finally MEET YOU!
Marcus: Ah, crap. Eva sent you, huh?
Sarah: My mother's name is Lilith!
Liberty: Dude, come on.
Marcus:...Anyway, meet your soon-to-be stepmother!
Sarah: I don't care about YOU, lady!
Acacia: And I care about getting this chicken right.
Marcus: She's fiiiiine amirite?
Acacia: See we can be a nice happy blended family and OW, too far-
Sarah: Where's the head?
Umbriel:...Am I calling an ambulance then?
Aaaand more ghosts.
Thomas: What's your problem? I never had enough time to do this in life.
it's not your HOUSE
Thomas: Well yeah, I lived on Foxbury's campus. Terrible ovens.
In the morning...
The siblings haven't been spending enough time together. Let's fix that.
Oly: Alright! You ready to lose, Acacia?
Acacia: OMG Oly I'm literally doing this to humour you I'd rather scour my forums or listen to house music, stop being a dick.
Oly:...Fair enough. I'll go first.
Acacia: Well that's not fair.
Oly:...Because I'm white! Wait, that sounds bad-
Acacia: How could you?
Oly: Put you in check? It's the name of the game, dear sister.
Acacia: You've made the Symbol! I've been told all about it, you know.
Blake: I really don't think Uncle Oly meant it...right? Right
Marcus: Lalalala I'm not hereeee
So I managed to miss this but Marcus fuckin' flirted with Oleander. Come on man.
Marcus: Get it down, bust a groove, no I didn't!
Oly: Uh. Yeah he did. He said I looked 'way too hot' in this cardigan.
Acacia: Seriously? That's not even one of your good outfits.
Blake: Welp, this is a mess.
Oly: Acacia...
Acacia: No no I know, I will deal with this when I have the headspace. Thanks to the 3rd trimester and your evil symbol, there was already a lot on my mind!
Oly rejected the flirt ofc. Considering he was also in a flirty mood I'm surprised. Normally Sims take anything in a flirty mood.
Oly: Cos that's my girl right there. Looking gorgeous Umbriel!
Umbriel: Thank you dear. Now let me plot out this entire chess game based only on my predictions of what Liberty will do.
Blake:...Damn. Auntie Umby's pretty cool, huh?
Oly: Yeah. Hell yeah she is.
Acacia: MARCUS you piece of utter shit oh my GOD-
I guess this is how Acacia's handling this.
Both girls got the Fear of Being Cheated On, unfortunately. But Umbriel wanted to talk through her fears, and I guess it went well.
Oly: Never, my love.
Then they went back to their skilling.
Umbriel: Hang on - Oleander Straud put on your safety goggles for the love of GOD.
Bentley: Heheheheheh she'll never know.
Umbriel: No I do know, but you're, y'know, pretty old, so I'll let you have this one.
Umbriel wanted to make a friend, so I brought an acquaintance over.
Umbriel: Hey girl, you look good, loving the winter outfit!
Ulrike: Save it I look like a goddamn life boat.
Umbriel:...Anyway how are you doing?
Ulrike: Shouldn't I ask you that? Since when were you going round getting pregnant?
Umbriel: Since I decided to, with my fiance?
Ulrike:...Oh. It really has been a while then.
Umbriel: How's motherhood going for you then?
Ulrike: Oh it's fine. She's right there in fact. Little shit stole my gloves.
Darlene: Heheheheh.
Umbriel: Why are you the one freaking out?
Oly: Because! We made a whole human and it has to come out of you! Oh my God are you in pain? You must be! Am I ready for this?
Umbriel: I dunno, probably? Stop being an idiot and drive me to the hospital, there's a start on getting ready.
Blake: OK, English homework. Tell me what a meta is phor, old man.
Bentley: Or I could walk away from you. I am an old man after all. Too old for your bullshit.
Blake:...Fine. Can you test my vocab? I'm sick of not knowing words in my books.
This looks like Umbriel's skintone. But we will have to see.
Anyway this is the heiress for now, Pleione.
In terms of heirs and naming, I'm going for 'random'. Pleione is named after a fake company from my accounting exam practice questions. As will her cousin when Acacia has that baby.
Random is also the succession law. So every time a new kid is born I'll use a random number generator to decide who will be the heir. This will last up until the eldest kid is a teen, because the rules require two specific traits for each heir.
Obviously for now that doesn't matter because Pleione is the only eligible baby, and might end up staying that way. The house is pretty full with 2 couples, one old man, and Blake.
Oly: OMG. GUYS. I'm a father now.
Bentley: Well this little guy was just worried that you wouldn't have anymore time-
Blake: Oh my God Bentley you snitch.
Blake: Hi there! LOVING the orange.
Ulrike: Well you're a charming little guy, aren't you?
Blake: Yep! I've read all the charisma books, don't get me wrong!
Blake: Um...Auntie Umbriel, help?! Also I didn't do it!
Umbriel: *grumbles* Blake let me sleep I just birthed a whole human.
So Bentley fixed it up lol.
Yuki: Hey Oly heard you became a father today! How's Umbriel?
Oly: Sleeping upstairs with the baby. Pretty boring, right?
Yuki: Weeeell that's your life now!
Umbriel: Do you really think I don't talk to the members of my club? Why would you tell Yuki I'm boring now?
Oly: Well I didn't say it like that-
Umbriel: Why would she text it to me like that?
Oly: I dunno. Stirring the pot? Trying to-
Umbriel: Oh piss off you are not that desirable-
Oly: Maybe she wants to go after you is what I'm saying.
Umbriel: Hmmm.
Umbriel: Honestly Oly. I have a whole child and a houseful of weirdos to guide. I don't need shit from you.
Oly: Yes, yes. I understand. Shall I work some of that tension away?
Umbriel: God yes.
Umbriel: Ohhhh that's the spot - you're not off the hook - keep doing that, feels so good-
Oly: Well I'm getting somewhere.
Marcus wanted to make a friend.
Marcus: I suppose you're one of Oly and Umbriel's geek friends? Don't touch Acacia's Facebook account by the way.
Yuki: Good to know. Shut up now I'm killing this boss.
Why is Acacia such a stupidly beautiful Sim?
Acacia: I'm about to pass out, I'm unsure of my relationship and - oops, yeah, that's labour.
Acacia: I'll keep you very safe, my sweet little girl.
This is Thalia.
Marcus:...Do you need help over there.
Acacia: *yawn* Just...a little rest...*thump*
Marcus: What happened to the bump?...And who's crying?
C'mon man.
Dennis Kim died today, so of course we've got a new ghost.
Dennis: Damn these people have hella limescale, don't they clean?
There's been a lot going on recently DENNIS.
Bentley: Ah, first snow of the winter. And the last I'll ever see!
Honestly I'm tempted to Youth Potion this guy. He's very helpful and likeable.
Bentley: I know how the cycle works. At best your potion'll get me to summer, let me enjoy my last snow.
Dion, who pretty much haunts every night, is a happy ghost.
Dion: This place is chaos but it's kinda my chaos now, you know? Also I like watching them sleep.
Way to ruin it.
Blake: Mum and Auntie Umby say I should make the best of this house being cursed! So hi, curse! I'm Blake!
Dion: I'm not the curse, boy. The curse got me. And now I'm dead. It could always be worse.
Blake: Hang on, Auntie. We can chat when I'm done formulating this recipe. Mum says we should smear it on our bedposts.
Umbriel: I love your mother but this stuff reeks. So no. How about we have some fun? Do you wanna build a snowman?
Blake: They're snowpals now, Auntie, gosh. Don't you know about the advantages of gender-neutral language?
Umbriel: Well I've taught myself plenty of programming languages!
Brant Hecking: Aw man, I should have listened to Brent, huh? At the same time...bet somebody appreciates the gun show!
Marcus: Awwww, aren't you adorable? You look just like me...like your other sisters? Brother? Kind of forgot.
(So did I)
Thalia:...Great.
Oly:...Why are you watching from over there?
Acacia: Why aren't you minding your business?
Oly:...I'm just saying, the sofa's free.
Acacia: Fine. You know there's gamma waves that they put in these TVs-
Oly: OK stop, you're making my poor little engineer brain break.
Acacia: Ugh. Naturally.
Bentley actually made the first snowpal of the season.
Babushka: Hi! Who wants a hug and some stew?
I then decided to extend the house a little.
Bentley: A lot! Hell, we can all breathe now!
I also decorated everybody's rooms.
Acacia: I've got space on my bedside table for all my documents now! Enlightening reading for nighttime!
Marcus: Your 'table' is an old apple crate.
Acacia: Yours is a pile of suitcases! With clothes in them.
Bentley: Y'all are so healthy around here.
This also meant the little under-roof area got extended a bit.
Umbriel: Good. Oly nearly set me on fire last time I was out here.
Marcus: *grunt* Less talk, more treadmill!
Umbriel: Yeah whatever dude, aren't you cold?
Oly: Check out this spin! You can't handle this.
Marcus: Uh yes I can, I was in Partihaus. You think I can't dance?
Acacia:...No? Sure you can dance.
Blake: Doesn't mean it'll be a good dance.
Acacia: Blake.
Blake: We were both thinking it.
Why are they all in formalwear?
Because it's double wedding time. Or elopement. I can't be arsed to do a whole wedding ceremony proper.
Acacia: I just love weddings.
Umbriel: Ready to be legally mine, Straud?
Marcus: Nope, nope, no I'm not.
Acacia: Get back here, Marcus. I didn't even say anything. Are you really so freaked out you forgot your own last name?
Marcus: Of course not! Um, love you Acacia, you and all your theories-
Acacia: Theories? They are after me!
Umbriel: Awww. You have such a cute little face. I'm glad I met your geeky ass, strange sister and all.
Oly: Yeah. You're the best thing that happened to me. Best relationship of my life, including my past legacy-
Umbriel: Ah...I still can't figure out if you're truthful about that.
Acacia: Oh no, he is.
Bentley: No way am I standing up to watch this shit.
Blake: This is...fun? Just hope they're not all making catastrophic mistakes and all :)
Acacia: What if he has a point:? Do I want this?
Marcus: We could just roll it back. Decommit and all-
Acacia: Nonono, I need this. My one true romance, it's all to plan!
Right.
Oly: With this ring, I take - why are my hands so slippery - you, Umbriel Sutherland-
Umbriel: Oh my God just hand it to me.
Acacia: -__-
Blake: DAMN get it Uncle Oly.
Marcus: Fine! Fine! I'm doing it. Let's just get this done!
Acacia: You have to hand me the ring first!
Blake: C'mon Marcus even I know that.
Marcus: See Umbriel I told you I'd go through with it.
Umbriel: Fine! I'll pay you the damn $50!
Marcus: And a bag of chips!
Acacia: I did it! I got married to my soulmate.
'Twas her aspiration after all.
Anyway Bentley and Blake went to have a snowball fight.
Bentley: What is it you young people say? Yeep?!
Blake: It's supposed to be 'yeet'. But I think I prefer yours.
Blake: OW why was it so hard and there's snow up my back now-
Bentley: This old man always has another trick up his sleeve!
Blake:...Can you help me up at least?
Blake: So. Congratulations, mother.
Acacia: Thank you, son. I'm very happy with my choices. Now make sure you say the codewords before bed, because there's definitely monsters under there.
Blake:...Will do. So about Marcus-
Acacia: You have a stepfather now. That's all there is to it.
Bentley: Hey so Umbriel wants me to drink this?
Acacia: Well that should be fine. Umbriel's a safe person. I think she just wants to help you out.
Acacia: Mermaids be like 'oooooh I'm half fish and smell like it, I have siren powers and drown people for fun'-
Blake: Mama we are mermaids. Did you forget? Or are you trying to threaten me? Cos I'll clean my room tomorrow, OK?
Here's Blake's little room. It actually has more than one bed in it now.
Blake: Yeah, good job. Loving everything but that weird hand statue that Mum says doubles as an alarm.
In the Morning...
Marcus: What's the confetti for? For the love of God tell me you're not pregnant again-
Acacia: No, silly. It's Winterfest!
Bentley:...Morning. By the way Umbriel, thanks for the drink I feel 65 again.
Umbriel: That's...that's great. By the way I thought I was the only person awake-
Bentley: Well I wouldn't want to be shaming a young woman for her attire-
Umbriel: No seriously I should probably wear clothes.
Umbriel: Tournament life never stops, not even on Winterfest...ohhhh fuck what was that shortcut? I must be out of practice!
Umbriel: That cannot be within the rules, this is completely unf - Acacia you're not helping!
Acacia: But this is my supportive dance!
Oly: Come on, second place ain't nothing to sniff at.
Umbriel: It isn't. But I would have won had it not been for the cheating, so I'll use my hacking skills to break this man's account.
Oly: That's my girl.
Acacia: We must be very careful on this day, Blake! They sniff our joy. They know it. They want to kill it.
Blake:...Yes, of course.
Bentley: That's it, boy, just smile and nod.
Umbriel: I just love this little family we've built!
Acacia: *shakes ornament* We gotta check each one, OK?
Marcus: And I am SO HAPPY about it too! I love being tied down to teh same career and woman!
Bentley: Oooovercompensating a bit.
Oly: *sneezes* I think I'm allergic, can I-
Umbriel: Nope you're not getting out of this.
Marcus are you serious. Again?
Acacia: I KNEW you weren't really sorry.
Umbriel:...Why did he accept this.
Acacia: And I knew my brother hadn't changed!
Blake: OK I left for half an hour and there's some weird tension now, huh.
Bentley: Kid don't sweat it. Just open your presents.
Umbriel: Wow cool I got a...lamp. I've always wanted one.
Marcus: What are you, a moth?
Acacia: Better a moth than a little-
Bentley: How about y'all do this in private after the holiday.
Marcus: Who the FUCK got the collar? I don't even like cats.
Bentley: Acacia said it would be funny.
Acacia: Dammit Bentley you absolute rat.
Acacia then immediately forgave him. OK then.
Acacia: I mean you did get me that perfume I asked for. And it's probably Oly's fault anyway.
Marcus: Haha yeah definitely him. I'm sorry babe.
Acacia: I choose to forgive you, because they're still after me. I know you got them military connections.
Meanwhile Umbriel...
Umbriel: I'll show him. He's not the only one who can engage in flirtation. Who's the worst guy I know? Who would actually come over here and leave his family on goddamn Winterfest?
Baako: Damn girl was I happy when you called? By the way, what's a credible work emergency that would actually happen today?
Umbriel: Ooh I'd judge you but I'm doing something just as bad so...let me think about it.
Baako: Ah. I see we're the same in the end.
Oly: Umbriel I know why he's here.
Umbriel: Yeah and?
Oly: You don't actually want to get with this guy? Pick someone better next time you're mad.
Umbriel: Next time, stop flirting with Marcus!
Oly: He flirted with me! If anything it's your fault for being friends with the guy.
Umbriel: That is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard.
Babushka: I have baked apple pie for the children.
Evie Delgato: Thank the Watcher! My mother picked vegan carob cake this year!
Acacia had two whims - yell and be mean. She isn't actually happy.
Acacia: Stand to attention and look at me you motherfucker!
Marcus: Wh-
Acacia: Did you think I'd actually forgive you? Stop flirting with my brother! You married me!
Marcus: And most of the time I flirt with you!
Acacia: MOST of the time? Is that supposed to be a good excuse?
Marcus: I thought we'd talked this through-
Acacia: And I've decided you need to be kept on your toes! Screw you!
Baako: Haha I'm gonna get this thing! Hard setting, let's go.
Brant Hecking: *sobs* Brent would have said that...I just don't understand where it all went wrong.
So I had Umbriel try to fix a bad relationship. The only person who came up is Brent. His husband.
Umbriel: Oh, I get it. Relationships can be tough. What exactly is the problem-
Oly: I don't know. Maybe his brother-in-law is hitting on him and he's getting the blame for-
Umbriel: Shut up Oly, Brant you can tell me anything.
Brant: Uh, *sniff*, don't you guys have something to work out?
Blake:...Are you SERIOUS. What love and effort? I've seen you like 4 times in my life! Come over here if you like, dude.
Caleb: You're the stepfather then.
Marcus: And you're the guy who never comes round?
Caleb: I have specific sun-based needs-
Blake: Guys, guys. Don't fight! None of you are up to par!
Later Marcus and Blake built a snowman together.
Blake: Yeah this is Marcus. He doesn't know how to build snowpals.
Leon: LMAO I can see that.
Marcus: C'mon I was trying to be different.
Finally the babies got aged up.
Acacia: Wow, you look a lot like your father. Be better than him tho.
Thalia:...OK?
Pleione: *slaps* Mama. Mama. Put me down pls.
Umbriel: Well this one looks like me. Good.
Pleione: Pleaseeee.
She's an Angelic bean. Thalia is Silly.
