I just thought that this picture was too awesome not to include in some shape or form.  There are times when I am easily impressed by my mad photo skillz 😀

This will be the final chapter before I launch my second heir poll.  I’m so ready for it to be ‘make babies’ time… It feels like forever ago since we last had babies.
B A B I E S.  Anywho, onwards and upwards.

When last we visited the MacTavishes, Griselda was getting older…wiser is debatable.  Here she is in all her elderly glory.  As I said, she’s somewhat appealing as an elder.  I’m not sure why however.

Pascal:  “Mmm this spaghetti smells like sleeping in warm fluffy sheets…”

Yeah not sure if that is a good or a bad thing.

Griselda continues to experiment with her painting techniques.  I call this one ‘I am so awesome at painting I don’t need to look at the canvas.’  Sadly the resulting portrait was less than satisfactory.

Meanwhile at the other side of town…

Destiny:  “OMG so my brother talked about you…ARE YOU SINGLE??”

Maximus:  “Uh…yeah.”

See what I did there?  No?  Take another look at the title of the chapter 😉

Destiny:  “So you’re really a big teddy bear aren’t you?”

Maximus:  “Uh…yeah.”

Maximus:  “There pookie, that feel better?”

Destiny:  “Mmm your hands feel so niiice.”

So yeah given that her love life has been rather neglected, Destiny launches into this courtship full throttle.

Maximus:  “Whooooa!  Hold your horses there missy!  We’ve only just met.”

Maximus lives on the farm in Riverview, so I think he’s some kind of cowboy.  I dunno why, it makes sense in my head.

Destiny:  “But… But… But… I think I love you.  I want to give you kissies…”

Maximus:  “Don’t worry little darlin’ they’re be plenty of kisses after a nice long RESPECTABLE courtship…Now let me walk you home.”

I didn’t get this far in my legacy by letting my Sims accept the dictates of fate.  Destiny will try again. And again.  And again… She will not rest until she gets the results I want!

The next day after school…

Destiny:  “Oh Maximus!”

Maximus:  “Oh Destiny!”

Maximus:  “Hmmm…”

Destiny:  “I don’t think this is right…”

Romantic slow motion running fail!

Who the heck are you???

Destiny:  “It is I, Destiny!”

You didn’t just happen to watch ‘Grease’ did you?

Destiny:  “Hey if it worked for Olivia Newton John, it’ll work for me!”

Well. Don’t go around multiplying chills and loosing control okay?

Destiny:  “So…?  Hehehe.  I need a man.”

Maximus:  “Teehee!”

Score!  First kiss for Destiny!  Looks like Operation ‘Sandy Dee’ worked!

Ginny (Ma) McDermott:  “That hussy better keep her mitts off my boy, else I’ll be calling the police!”

It appears that Destiny was too pre-occupied to hear that particular threat.  See, an off-the shoulder top and skinny pants are teen-aged boys kryptonite or something…

It appears that Ginny McDermott doesn’t make idle threats.  Interestingly enough, while I took this picture while the car was moving, and I can see Destiny..BUT NO COP!  WTF?

At last Destiny makes it back safe and sound.  It looks like she is taking this bad-girl image seriously.

Marsh:  “And what time do you think this is young lady…?”

And Marsh, of all people is the one to give her a lecture…actually out of the two, he’s probably the disciplinarian, despite Griselda being a Master Thief and wearing a ninja suit.

Marsh:  “…And what do you think you are wearing?  You aren’t going to bathe in body glitter and become all Goth are you?”

Destiny:  “Whoa!  Now you’ve gone too far!  I’m no Twihard!  Besides, this outfit got me to first base with your potential son-in-law.”

Marsh:  “I can make a new friend?  Awesome!  Bring him over tomorrow.”

This is the first time I’ve had any child stay out past curfew.  All in all the experience was fun, without negative moodlets.  I may have to do it more often now.  I know, I’m such a bad-ass!

Later that evening…

Aww man Travis!  Not you too!  All my ghosts want to do is work out vigourously.  It sucks :(.

Meanwhile upstairs…

Yay!  Bliss has made us a magical inventing gnome, and in honour of our current naming scheme he is called ‘Thermaplugg’.  Bonus points if you can guess what the theme is 😀

Speaking of Bliss, she had a particular wish that I felt I could grant unto her.  Yep, she wanted ‘a’ tattoo.  So I got her to get 2.  The one one on her arm represents the transcendent and sparkly nature of her and Pascal’s love…and on her stomach, I think I’ll let Bliss explain it.

Bliss:  “Well as an avid gardener, I know a plant has to flower before it bears fruit.  So, I got a flower on my tummy so that I can bear fruit sometime soon!  *squee*!”

No fruit yet!  My plans are far from fruition!

Destiny:  “I can’t believe that my dad grounded me…Thank you so much for coming over Max!”

Maximus:  “Anything for my number one girl!”

See nothing can stand in the way of true teen-aged love!

Destiny:  “So I was about to ask you something before the cops so rudely hauled me away…Do you want to go steady?”

Maximus:  “Do I ever!”

After this they pretty much just made-out for a while then Max had to go to work.  That’s okay, Destiny’s mission has succeeded.  Max is putty in her hands, putty I tells ya!

So a while ago I had Marsh take up the sculpting skill after I realised he didn’t have a money making hobby.  The only reason he was making a metal sculpture was because he had a commission opportunity.  As soon as I saw it, I thought:  No way is he giving that away!  And so it now sits outside the dining area looking AWESOME!

Pascal:  “It is amazing non?  We both like ze music…and we both have ze ‘ot bodies…If I ‘adn’t met your sister first you would be my soul-mate non?”

Chance:  *thinking*  “Oh god… Just concentrate on eating and ignore him.”

Bliss is blissfully ignorant.  😀

Marsh:  “Hello?”

*Insert squiggly squeaky TV telephone talking noises.*

Marsh:  “Actually I’m quite happy with my internet service provider…”

*Insert more squiggly squeaky TV telephone talking noises*

Marsh:  “Hey sonny!  I have a chisel in my hand, and I know where you live!”

*Insert dial tone*

Marsh:  “Hello…  Hello?”

Normally Marsh tells the bestest jokes, having a great sense of humour and all.  Then again if I got a response like that when I was a telemarketer I probably would have run away crying as well.

Marsh:  “If a chisel scares them…just imagine what a chainsaw will do!”

Make them piss their pants?

Marsh:  “Precisely!”

I have issues with the chainsaw…namely when I hear it I excitedly zoom around the lot looking for whatever supernatural beastie is making that noise…then I work out it’s the chainsaw and I feel oddly dissappointed…Can’t wait for Late Night!  At least then I’ll have me some vampires!  (Of course Vampires were the only supernatural Sims I had in TS2, I made a zombie once and liked it EVEN MORE than I liked Dean.)

Can you guess what time it is?  Yep that’s right, it’s the ‘I can’t wait for certain teens to age up naturally so I’m going to throw a massive party and have lots of cake’ time!

That being said, it is actually Destiny’s birthday today.  I just didn’t feel like waiting another 5 hours for her to grow up.

Destiny:  “Hey lady!  Have YOU heard about personal space?”

That lady is your Aunt Delta, you should be nicer to her…

Destiny:  “And she should get outta my face!”

And here she is, the last child of Generation 3 a child no longer.  I’ll wait until after the party before I give her a make-over, there are like 16 Sims on the lot at this point in time and I don’t want to risk it.

CAKE JAM!  There wasn’t enough cake for everyone at this stage anyways…

Griselda:  “Do you want to hear something funny and sad at the same time?  Your daughter is going to settle for my son!”

Marsh:  *thinking*  “Divorce is okay in some situations right?”

Betty:  “Thank you crazy lady for checking the stove.  It is my turn to grow up now.”

Betty:  “I wish to become even more beautiful and fabulous!”

It appears Betty got her wish.  At least she will once I get my little hands on her and give her a make-over.

This is Fatima, Betty’s mum.  It looks as though gorgeous runs in the family.  Speaking of family, that dress doesn’t quite disguise her condition now does it?

And finally, it’ is Max’s turn.  Blow them candles out boy!

Maximus:  “I’m a big kid now!”

Destiny:  “Wait, he sparkled, but are you sure he’s the same age group as me…?”

Yeah, he looks pretty much the same as he did as a teenager…Quick!  Lets go check this out.

Destiny:  “You are a gentleman and a teddy bear, and photogenic enough to make the perfect trophy spouse!  Say you’ll marry me and support all my dreams and wishes…Including the ones that include world domination…”

Maximus:  “Oh my gosh!  Yes you silly woman!  YES!”

It appears Max was grown up enough after all.  Yay!  2 out of 3 children are now engaged…I wonder what is holding up Chance?

Destiny:  “Step one of my plans for world domination is complete!”

Got a job at City Hall?

Destiny:  “Yep!”

Well make sure you close the door properly okay?

So I got to roll the random dice to choose Destiny’s final trait, she got ‘perfectionist’.  Which fits, considering she’s been wanting to become the Leader of the Free World since she was a child.

Oh gawd!  Take me back to the Face1 epidemic NOW!  I like my maids nice and disturbingly attractive.  Ah well, I guess Man-maid is proof that AwesomeMod is working awesomely.

Destiny:  “That’s right honey.  Keep on practising that smile, I’ll need it come election time.”

Here are Destiny and Maximus in all their made-over glory.  As much as I wanted to keep Max in cow-boy themed threads, he suited this look so much more…and research shows its more appealing to voters!

Lady, that’s just rude!  He’s just a poor boy from a poor family… or something.  Also, that chick in the aqua?  That’s Mission de Pascal, the stunt woman we sent to France to clone Pascal, hopefully she makes babies too.

I just included this shot to show that while they are very similar (You can so tell they are Kaylynn’s grand-daughters) they do look different. Honest!  I think there are subtleties in the shape of their facial features that make them different to each other…or something.

Chance:  “Finally my love, you grace me with your presence!  I’ve been waiting two days.”

Betty:  “Yes, worship me more!”

I may have mentioned Chance grew up and was assigned the hopeless romantic trait right?  Yeah little did I know it would make him prance around like a little girl.

Chance:  “So my love, you were the first person I met when we moved here.  You are the love of my life, say you will marry me and make me the happiest man in Riverview!”

Betty:  “OMG!  I can’t even see the ring for the glare!  Yes I will marry you!”

Chance:  “Now that we are engaged..kisses?”

Betty:  “No more kisses until we’re married Chance MacTavish!  I’m an old-fashioned girl!”

Chance:  “*Sigh*  You’re so romantic!”

Tune in next time, when I attempt to make my computer explode by having all 3 children get married at the same time, in THE SAME PLACE!

Awesome!

ETA: FIXT!
