Knightstone Household: Chapter 7, Part 3
Suzanna and Silas are looking forward to a new addition to the family but Adam still has some reservations. Suzanna has a pretty difficult workday thanks to mood swings and a nosy coworker. Silas has zero patience and asks his parents what birth is 😬
Tumblr media
The Knightstone family send out signals for local aliens to drop by their house for a nice pride get together where they don't have to act human. Suzanna has met some before but for Adam they're the only ones he's met apart from his wife. Silas is delighted to discover more aliens do exist.
Tumblr media
Alas the hour grows late and Silas needs a power nap. The aliens take time to discuss the bizarreness of human food and what they imagine Sixam might look like. Talk turns to Suzanna's pregnancy and they debate good names, and wonder who he will grow up to be.
Tumblr media
Everyone seems interested in Suzanna's desire to reach the top of the science career so she can find a way to Sixam. They make her promise to keep them informed, they are all curious about a place they belong to yet have never seen. The night draws to a close, everyone dons disguises and heads home.
Tumblr media
Silas: I not want to sleep, I want to see aliens
Suzanna: I know starshine but it's past your bedtime, do you want a story
Silas: Yes please
Suzanna: Nice manners, pops will come tuck you in after he finishes writing
Silas: But if I'm asleep-
Suzanna: He'll still be in
And indeed he is.
Tumblr media
Adam decides to start the week right with a workout. My sims haven't been completeing the jogs I send them on lately so TV workout it is. Silas wakes up happy, excited about his upcoming brother. He tucks into his breakfast while his parents bustle about the kitchen.
Tumblr media
Silas: Mummy will my brother be here today
Suzanna: Not today starshine
Silas: Tomorrow
Adam: Babies take time to grow son
Silas: Oh, day after tomorrow
Suzanna: *chuckles* We'll have to wait and see, birth can take a long time
Silas: What birth
Suzanna: Hmm
Adam: Remember the bird story
Tumblr media
Silas: Blue birdies loved pink baby bird
Adam: Remember how the bird hatched from the egg
Silas: *nods*
Adam: Birth is how aliens and humans hatch, it'll get your brother out of mummy
Suzanna: Many animals give birth like cats-
Silas: Mummy please don't break like egg
Adam: *pales*
Suzanna: I won't
Tumblr media
Adam: Where to son
Silas: I garden with mummy
So Suzanna sets about harvesting, weeding and watering while Silas plays in the dirt. After a while she notices he seems sad.
Suzanna: Are you okay Silas
Silas: I want my brother to have fun with me
Suzanna: He will, just not today
Silas: But I want him now
Tumblr media
Suzanna: Silas we can't have everything we want right when we want it, sometimes we have to be patient
Silas: No!
Suzanna: Well you can say hi to him even though he's inside
Silas: I can?
Suzanna: Yes, he can't hear just yet but we can still talk to him
Silas: Hi brother, I hope you are warm in there
Tumblr media
Silas: Mummy, what if he not like me
Suzanna: Not everyone will like everyone BUT you can show him you love him
Silas: I love you brother, please love me
Suzanna: Come here starshine, pops and I love you
Silas: Forever
Suzanna: And ever
Silas tells her all his plans to make his brother love him.
Tumblr media
Suzanna's first work task is to try an Ox Strength serum. She doesn't have the ingredients but there is one already in her inventory, bottoms up! And... Well there's just no moodlets at all from it. She acts nauseous but the thought bubble assures me that's pregnancy related.
Tumblr media
Suzanna: Hey Nalani, funny thing
Nalani: Yes
Suzanna: Aging is on this week and I noticed your son aged from baby to infant
Nalani: That's right
Suzanna: I also saw he's called Silas, just like my son
Nalani: What a coincidence
Suzanna: Don't copy my next baby name all right
Nalani: You're pregnant? Congrats
Tumblr media
Next serum of the day, fixers luck. Suzanna has to make it, test it and then tinker. I worry things may have gone wrong with those sparks. She's already sad from pregnancy mood swings. I'm in luck though and the serum works fine. She gets an electronic upgrade part tinkering with the coffee maker.
Tumblr media
Now to make and give away some synthetic food. I know Suzanna is sad but really hoping she can make a successful batch. No one at the lab seems to like testing her serums, especially when they appear tainted.
Tumblr media
Suzanna: Could you try this
Nalani: Will it make me pass out like Faye
Suzanna: It's not a needs fixer
Nalani: Will it make me a perma ghost like Shelly
Suzanna: I really thought that would have worn off by now
Nalani: Not last I saw her. Fine, you're my friend, I'll try it
She drinks and observations show no bad reactions
Tumblr media
Suzanna continues with her work day, trying her best despite feeling blue. When she finishes her tasks for the day she takes some time to socialise with her co workers. She has been so busy trying to be promoted she doesn't know them all. But she knows Faye who is lost in her own little world.
Tumblr media
Faye: I know you're an alien
Suzanna: What? Because I praised your work ethic
Faye: You're glowing blue. Do you think as a scientist I wouldn't believe in aliens? It was a ruse to get your guard down
Suzanna: Oh, I-
Faye: Relax, I won't tell. If I was an alien I wouldn't want people to know either
Tumblr media
Suzanna feels embarrassed and her relationship with Faye drops into negative. She felt so proud to be an alien yesterday but now new doubts are surfacing. Is Adam right? Is this world determined to make aliens feel bad? Should she be excited or guilty about bringing a new kid into this environment?
Tumblr media
Suzanna tried her best to put her worries aside once her workday was over. She was meeting Adam for their second ultrasound. Since he was panicking about their second son she didn't want to risk proving him right by expressing her own doubts. They made it just before Dr Farias shift ended.
Tumblr media
Dr Farias: I must say I've never seen anyone in their second trimester with so much muscle
Suzanna: I think the balance of the Ox serum must have been off, it looks weird for me to
Dr Farias: How are you all feeling today
Adam: Sad
Suzanna: Hungry
Dr Farias: Remember to look after yourselves
Tumblr media
Suzanna: We try
Dr Farias: Your boy seems to be developing well
Adam: That's a relief
Dr Farias: Are you still opting for natural delivery
Suzanna: Yes
Dr Farias: It will be quite different from giving birth by surgery machine
Suzanna: I know but I want to try
Dr Farias: I'll see you when it's time
Tumblr media
Adam: You're quiet, is something wrong starlight
Suzanna: Faye knows
Adam: Knows what
Suzanna: That I'm an alien, she just declared it at work
Adam: That boar
Suzanna: What if you're right? What if bringing another alien into the world is a terrible idea? Am I just condemning him to a life of misery?
Tumblr media
Adam: My life doesn't feel miserable. I love my life with you! Does your life feel miserable?
Suzanna: Not normally
Adam: All kids have troubles right, his will just be unique
Suzanna: Do you think we could... go see that counselor again?
Adam: For unwanted pregnancies? Yeah, I'd appreciate it actually
Tumblr media
Suzanna feels lighter after their session and checks in with Adam. Turns out he has thought about this enough and is ready to accept the pregnancy! Suzanna is delighted and has a chat with the baby inside her before heading to sleep with less worries.

https://gofund.me/dc94763b I’m making an audio drama!!
Tumblr media
I am being so serious when I say: if you have the financial and time privilege to get a group of friends together and make an indie project, PLEASE do. Indie games, indie animations, indie comics etc etc
the art industries are kind of in the shitter. It’s not so much because of AI (though that doesn’t help) but because studios just aren’t hiring people and funding projects anymore. People who’ve been in the industry for decades are finding themselves struggling, and once you have a mortgage or kids it’s harder to do something as risky as making something on your own.
completing projects is hard. it takes a lot of time and effort, and most people can’t afford it. so if you CAN afford to make art, even at the risk of no financial gain, I strongly encourage you to be as resilient as you can. We’re at a point where these industries are not going to turn around by themselves, and waiting for jobs to open up again in order to get experience and portfolio work might not be realistic.
people have been making art and telling stories longgggg before we were getting paid for it, and people aren’t going to stop just because no one has hired them to do so.
for everyone else: support indie artists when you can!!!! That person who made that cool indie game or youtube animation or webcomic might be doing this full time! your support might be the only reason they’re able to keep doing it.
and if you have already started an indie project: you’re so brave and I’m very proud of you!!! in fact, drop a link to it in the reblogs if you want! 👇

📩 Simblr question of the day: Choose a sim of your own that you consider your/a fave, then choose one sim from three (or more!) different simblrs, now imagine what those sims would be like in a room together? Who's walking out first? Who's staying the longest? Who would get along? Who wouldn't get along at all? Elaborate as much or as little as you'd like :) (p.s please feel free to share this to others, anon or not, and feel free to use the hashtag " SQOTD "! I love seeing everyone's answers and reading them makes my day ~ 💛 ) (p.p.s I saw you ask for the best friend ask, be on the lookout for that sometime soon :))
Oh my gosh I have so many ideas I'll have to put them under a cut!
Brunch Date
First up we're going BIG! I'm talking time to ship up every single member of the York family to go and meet the Alegria family by @matchalovertrait! Wouldn't be too massive of a trip though since we're mostly all in Tartosa.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I suspect Devin and Dulce would get along. I think Aaron would probably be a bit too pompous for Erick to maintain a conversation with. I'm guessing Noemi would probably not mind talking to Calista since they're both family and career women. Angel would probably be the one helping Joey make sure Alfred and Rilian are having fun.
Supernatural Hang out
Sending my werewolf Samir, his boyfriend Reece, and the Knightstone's to try and make friends...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They would be meeting up with Caleb and Morgan by @marcishaun, as well as Lou and Lux by @ethicaltreatmentofcowplants.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As well as Priscilla, Tony and Moumou by @eljeebee and the Bohan family by @aliengirl.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First up Moumou (who's a cat if you didn't know) would be surrounded by all the younger sims. The youngest would probably just all be sitting there making imitation cat noises. I like to think Silas would be interested to meet Carina and Orion and have a million questions about how they manage to look both human and alien at the same time.
Blue would tell Adam how he carried a pregnancy and Adam would storm off in horror for several reasons. First off Adam doesn't want more kids. Plus he's hot headed. Then of course Adam hates UFO aliens getting humans pregnant and would probably feel like the tale hits to close to home, even though Rhea and Blue made their kids with love. Suzanna however would be fascinated to learn about the process.
Priscilla would likely try to cheer up Caleb about being a vampire while Tony would probably try to impart some wisdom about being a human in love with an immortal to Morgan.
Let's be real Samir would probably sit there brooding the entire time but Reece would undoubtedly be chatting at a million miles an hour with Lou and Lex to try and learn all he could about real werewolves.
EDIT: I forgot my main point which is I think most of them would enjoy talking about plants and gardening and nature.
Animal Get Together
Cluckton would be hanging out in a park with Matilda from @sharona-sims...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Le Chat by @akitasimblr, Nougat by @kissalopa and Daisy by @lauralovelysims
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They would get up to mysterious animal things
Universes Collide
Amiyah and her siblings by @deardiaryts4 are invited to the Chopra Homestead!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I would invite the other Rahul but I think things could get awkward if Amiyah's parents show up considering her Cassandra is best friends with the woman who married and then divorced Rahul...
I think Amiyah would spend the time trying to teach Savannah and Mercedes how to dance and would probably give them several make overs. Cassandra would find it fascinating to meet these alternate universe Rahul offspring where as Rahul would probably be a bit creeped out.
Casual Drinks!
Sending Joey to meet the infamous Ben Ben by @slightly-ludic for a night on the town! You know Ben needs a drink after that Jungle Adventure!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Of course we're also inviting Astrid by @simmerbeans and Stan and Milena by @stargazer-sims.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A lot of the talk would revolve around travel and what different countries are like. I think Astrid would love talking to Ben and Stan, Joey would do his best to comment on the conversation but secretly be eyeing up whatever single ladies are in the bar. Of course Joey and Ben would say some dopey stuff earning them eyerolls from the other three. I think the younger ones would benefit from time with Stan and Milena though, get some life lessons.

Boy oh boy this has been a long one! Sorry it's taken so long. Rotation 9 began all the way back on March 20th which means it's taken me around six and a half months to get through everyone. During this time I have also been plagued by a bad IBS flare up that leaves me fatigued so my guess is that's why things took much longer than normal.
While all households collectively aged a year and three quarters when you put it all together we've lived through 17 and a half years of sim time for a total of 70 sim days. Thank you for joining me on the journey! I'm going to be taking the rest of the month of October off from long form writing while I build SBL back up and engage in Simblreen antics. Rotations and Growing with Glenn will start back up in November.
Now, on to the noteworthy stuff! Main points followed by chapter summaries below the cut. Time to celebrate my sims achievements!
Five Sims Promoted - One max career!
Nine Skills Maxed
Eight New Builds
Seven Birthdays
One Wedding
Four Household Adoptions
York Household, Chapter 9
Calista and Aaron made their first nectar but mostly they were in parent/grandparent mode. Deanna was dumped by Paris and had a bad bug but still passed her first term of university. The youngest York aged up, realised they were trans, and she has renamed herself Artemisia, or Emi or Emisia to her friends and family.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2. Chopra Household, Chapter 6
Rahul worked from home all week to help with his young family. Mercedes and Savannah aged up to children and have started school. Savannah is still feeling the effects of her motor delay while Mercedes may have a speech delay but turns out to be gifted. Viola aged up into a wild toddler and the household is due another shake up as Cassandra discovered she is pregnant for the third time!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3. Romero Household, Chapter 1
Marta helped her fiance Keira learn about Dia de los Muertos as they paid respect to those in the forever save who couldn't attend the wedding. Keira began her job at the Marine Life Institute and Marta met some of her neighbours after barista shifts. Then the couple were married at Willow Creek church and honeymooned in Sulani. They are currently looking at options for having kids.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
4. Pancakes Household, Chapter 9
Eliza got promoted to level 9 of the corporate career. She and Bob decided that rather than have another pregnancy they would adopt so infant Tiana joined the family. Ginger got another fur sibling as dog Strawberry joined the household. Fergus aged up to a materialistic teen and after a week of working on their grades and cheer skills Onyx finally got their horse, named Maelstrom.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
5. New Goth Household, Chapter 4
Alexander and Milton retrieved Bella's old journals for Milton to begin reading, and the family celebrated Harvestfest with the Chopras. Alexander and James talked about having kids, and James admitted he would like to adopt a teen rather than having an infant. Milton went through a bear phase and Ariadne was adopted by the couple.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
6. Villareal Household, Chapter 6
Joey released his first video game and became a one star celebrity. Devin filmed a pirate film and her regular TV series. Luna spent most of her time trying to patch things up between her younger brother Max and his wife. Alfred broke many dollhouses and Rilian got a kiddie pool to play in.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
7. Nishidake Household, Chapter 7
It was a speedrun for this family but both Charlie and Kaori have finally reached the rock climbing skill needed to attempt to make it to the mountain summit. Clover learned to not eat trash but continued to knock the bin over for fun.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
8. Woods Household, Chapter 2
The murder mystery took a backseat this time. The couple met the Moonwood Collective and Samir ranked up to a Veteran werewolf. Reece started his biology degree and hosted some meditation sessions. The pair have also discovered they are fated mates.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
9. Knightstone Household, Chapter 9
It was festive season for the aliens in Chestnut Ridge. While Adam worked on his skills angling for that final promotion he managed to publish three books. Suzanna had a tough time with coworker Faye but reached a truce for the sake of their careers. She also finished a third collection, the My Sims trophy collection. Silas grew closer with fellow aliens Ruth and Tyree and showed off a Red Coral at show and tell. Pollock aged from an infant into a toddler and continued to learn.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
10. Foster Household, Chapter 9
Winter ended in Sulani. Harvey managed to get promoted but didn't catch any new types of fish this time. Kayleigh sold enough paintings to become a global Superstar and was our first sim to reach the top of her career! The focus was mainly on Carson who was navigating a crush while figuring out his identity as an asexual. Clumsy flirting eventually led to him officially being Ariadne's boyfriend though.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Woah that was a lot huh? I need to rearrange my navigation for this save before rotation 11 starts but any pressing thoughts? Any bits you loved or hated? How was the new bold and colour coded dialogue? Did it make it any easier to follow when multiple people were talking? Any things you wish will or won't happen next time?

Hey blog, Adam Knightstone here. You probably know me from my harsh yet truthful art critic columns. Or I'm just the friendly neighbourhood fellow whose satellite discourages alien abductions, you're welcome. Surprise surprise there's not always simoleons in complaining about stuff, and with my young family it's harder to paint without tiny hands getting on the canvas. Long story short, I'm hoping to get a side hustle as a part time info gather for Juliana Angel over at SIMVERSE (@swallowprettybird).
June means PRIDE. I've seen a lot of great lesbian, gay and bisexual sims around and am hoping to get a pile for Juliana to check out as possible magazine spreads. My problem is I want her to think I'm a professional from the get go, and there is a bunch to wade through. It would help if you could let me know if you have seen blogs with, or have posted about your own:
Transgender sims (non-binary included)
Intersex sims
Aroace sims
These groups are often underrepresented so may be harder for me to find. Hit me up if you can. Cheers, Adam
Hi, Suzanna here. Adam's wife who is aware we're living in a simulation. You obviously can't send stuff to Adam so please send it to our watcher Kirsty @changingplumbob or comment below.

Knightstone Household: Chapter 9, Part 13
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna was out gathering minerals when she heard someone approach. Finishing off she stood up and dusted herself down. The voice behind her surprised her though.
Faye: Hey boss... can I talk to you
Suzanna: Umm, you want to talk to me?
Faye: Not really. I mean... this job is really important to me. I’ve dreamed of being a scientist since I could walk basically
Suzanna: I know what you mean, it was the same for me
Faye: I got defensive but... I thought about what you said. I did overstep with Shelley. It was unprofessional. I apologised to her
Suzanna: You apologised? That’s great
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Faye: I mean, if she had tried to give me commands I would have snapped. She had every right to be mad at me. I let my personal need for success win over the need to be part of the team, it won’t happen again
Suzanna: Does this mean we’re going to be besties now
Faye: Oh heck no. I still think you got your position because you're an alien rather than you have some great talent. But I’m going to try be more of a team player. I can’t promise to like you, ever, but I can promise to do my job and follow your instructions. I hope we can move past the simray testing now
Suzanna: *laughs* Definitely
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Back home Suzanna took some time to read while Silas relaxed. Eventually they got talking though and caught up on each others day.
Silas: The substitute said we were a good class. Normally she has to work out of town and teaches disguised but she was able to be in her alien form for our class. She said it felt natural
Suzanna: That’s good
Silas: I’m glad we moved here Mummy, it’s nice
Suzanna: Yeah I like it to
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Before bed Silas sat down with Suzanna to learn all he could about his new alien for show and tell.
Silas: If it’s a Red Coral why does it look pink
Suzanna: Things don’t always have fitting names, but in this case it’s genetic
Silas: What does that mean
Suzanna: So female Red Coral are red, and much smaller than this one. The pink ones are boys
Silas: They are? But how can you tell
Tumblr media
Suzanna: MRI’s of them show their insides and let us know
Silas: And why does it have the eye stalks
Suzanna: To see. Their home planet has lower gravity and their buoyancy allows them to sort of bounce around. They spend more time in the air than on the ground so they need to see more angles, so more eyes
Silas: They’re not hurt by the gravity here are they
Suzanna: No. Remember how we can read minds? I can tell that he’s not in any pain or discomfort
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Silas: I know you found him on Sixam so how’d he get there
Suzanna: With the amount of time they spend in the air it’s easy for them to knock against each other and be propelled upwards. Their planet as far as we can tell is along a well traveled route. When they get too high they’re drawn to the ships and stick to the outsides as they approach other planets such as Earth or Sixam
Silas: And they just fall to the ground
Suzanna: As far as we can tell, they’ve never been found in vessels. They are remarkably sturdy. Think that’s enough for show and tell
Silas: I suppose. I just need to think of a good name
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fitting in a quick workout before bed Suzanna admired her art collection. Today at work she’d collected the last My Sims trophy she needed for a complete collection, and she wondered if she would get a plaque in the mail. She had recieved one for the aliens collection but not the geode collection so she was unsure what the humans counted for rewards. She hadn’t had much time to stargaze with the winter weather but hopefully next rotation.
Tumblr media
The next day Suzanna called work to have another vacation day. This time Faye was more civil and promised to share the command duties with Shelley rather than bossing her coworker around. Satisfied with that Suzanna decided to give Pollock a bath, he needed it with his food flying everywhere. Adam spent the morning at the computer working on his next sci fi novel and after cleaning up her son Suzanna headed out to the garden.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
While Suzanna tended her plants Pollock played in the snow, enjoying throwing it in the air and declaring he was making it snow.
Tumblr media
While Adam headed off to work Suzanna and Pollock had a chill afternoon inside by the thermostat. Seeing Suzanna reading Pollock decided to copy her and set about studying the pages of one of his books. Pollock was excited for Silas to get home but since the older boy had homework to work on Pollock spent his time playing with the ring stack toy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Once Adam got home the family had dinner.
Suzanna: How was show and tell Starshine?
Silas: Really good, everyone was impressed with the Red Coral. It’s funny, my class is half alien right
Adam: Yeah, and your normal teacher
Silas: But some of them hadn’t realised that other types of aliens existed. Small ones that is, they thought it was just us
Tumblr media
Pollock: We many Silas
Silas: Yeah we are. But they were interested in your other aliens Mummy, can I take another one next time
Adam: Depends if you look after the Red Coral
Silas: I will. If it can survive a fall from space to the ground I’m sure I can
Suzanna: Technically it didn’t survive the fall as I revived it but close enough
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna got the children to bed and cleaned the dishes while Adam made a final push on his book. The editor agreed that the manuscript was excellent and promised to forward it to the publisher as soon as the physical copy arrived. Heading upstairs Adam found Suzanna reading the book he’d gotten her for Winterfest.
Adam: Are you enjoying it
Suzanna: I am. There’s a gem seed in here that sounds fascinating. Of course it’s been too cold to plant anything
Adam: Not for much longer, the rain out there is melting the snow, we’re past the middle of winter
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna: *sighs* We’ve had a good holiday season though
Adam: We have. Care for one last gift under the covers?
Suzanna: *laughing* I’m not sure if I’m on the naughty or nice list
Adam pulled her close for a deep kiss.
Adam: Why not both? I love you Starlight
Suzanna: You’re my guiding star, always
After woohoo the pair snuggled close and fell asleep to the sound of gentle rain on the roof.

Knightstone Household: Chapter 9, Part 12
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna walked in to the office where Silas was playing on the computer and Pollock was having fun with one of his toys.
Suzanna: Hey you two
Silas: Hi Mummy
Pollock wandered over and hugged Suzanna’s leg tight.
Suzanna: It’s bedtime for you Pollock. Head to bed and Daddy will read you a story okay?
Silas: What about me
Suzanna: Want to go upstairs and collect your alien?
Smiling Silas shut off the computer and sped up the stairs.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Silas: Oh oh, can I have the squid? Or maybe you could clone the porcupine for me
Suzanna smiled and set down the jar from earlier.
Suzanna: You can have this guy, fresh off Sixam today
Silas stared at the jar. It didn’t escape his notice that the jar had no air holes and the Red Coral inside wasn’t moving
Silas: Mummy, I can’t take a dead alien to show and tell. That’s creepy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna: He’s only a little dead. Some types of aliens operate on a similar frequency to us and with a little manipulation...
Silas: You’re going to bring it back to life?
Suzanna: That’s the plan. It takes a lot of focus though, you may not be able to do it until you’re an adult
Taking a deep breath and concentrating Suzanna sent out pulses that resounded through the coral, making it twitch. After a short time the light returned to it’s eyes and it began to move.
Silas: Oh wow, we better get an enclosure Mummy!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Silas: Do you think he’s happy in there
Suzanna: He feels happy, yes. Don’t worry, when you’re a teen you should be able to start picking up on his feelings. Now, will that do for show and tell
Silas: *beaming* YES
Suzanna: Good. Now you better get to bed. Would you like me to spray the monster?
Silas: No, I think I’m going to try be it’s friend. Goodnight Mummy, I love you
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That job done, Suzanna set about doing some cloning. She’d gotten a new metal on Sixam today, rose gold. Figuring it might have some new elements she wanted to make copies to send to the geo council. Unfortunately the time in her inventory had messed with the calibration and initially she got a crude lump of matter. A few adjustments though and she was able to create several new minerals and gems for her stock.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Adam: You ready for bed
Suzanna: Just let me put the cloning machine away
Adam: Can it clone people
Suzanna: Logically it should be able to but I haven’t tested that
Tumblr media
Adam: You should clone Faye and freeze her clone in front of her
Suzanna: You Mr Knightstone are a bad influence
Adam: Maybe but you love it
Suzanna: I do
Giggling the pair got in bed and fooled around.
Tumblr media
Silas wasn’t sure why he’d woken up. He felt the clink of simoleons and cheered at the gift from the tooth fairy. Then he heard it. The growling and plopping under his bed, the monster was back! Taking a deep breath, and trying to channel some of his favourite book characters he sat down facing the gap.
Silas: Umm, hi there. I’m Silas. Are you... comfy?
Monster: Comfy? Yes. I just like the dark
Silas: Oh not me, I have a fear of it actually
The pair talked for a while and Silas felt like he had befriended the monster.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Silas: Mummy you’ll never guess
Suzanna: You got a visit from the tooth fairy
Silas: Well yeah but- I made friends with the monster under my bed
Suzanna: You did? Oh that’s wonderful Starshine
Silas: I’m going to tell everyone at school about it! Even the humans accept there are monsters under the bed or in the closet. Can we watch Monsters Inc this weekend?
Suzanna: *smiling* Sure, Pollock might be old enough to watch it now
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After walking Silas to the school bus Suzanna tended the garden and got the mail. The rose gold had indeed contained a new element for her display and she couldn’t wait to slot it in. She took a moment to enjoy the crisp winter air, to think she’d missed out on snow all those years in Oasis Springs.
Tumblr media
Suzanna: Hey Faye, I think I fixed my calibrations
Faye: *scoffs* Not again. Look I have actual work to do
Suzanna: You’re on your lunch break, and it will just take a second, hold still
Faye: Have I ever told you I hate you
Suzanna: Not in those words but it’s implied every day
Faye: Good
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna: I feel like maybe your skin tone has shifted slightly
Faye: Wow, that’s some cutting edge science right there boss
Suzanna: Your sarcasm is noted
Faye: Right well I’m going to get back to my lunch now

Faye Harris, the closest thing Suzanna had to a work rival. The woman had first started off by telling Suzanna she didn’t believe in aliens. Back in Oasis Springs Suzanna was never confident enough to go to work in alien form, and Faye didn’t help. Eventually the woman revealed she did believe in aliens and had been saying that to get Suzanna to trip up and reveal herself, when she was pregnant she couldn’t hide her happy pregnancy glow even in human form.
Suzanna: Faye, can I have a word
Faye: I’m busy ignoring you actually
Suzanna: Well I need someone to help out with my simray testing
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Faye: I’m not going to do that
Suzanna: I’m afraid as your boss I have to insist
Setting the simray to transform she pointed it at Faye and powered it up.
Tumblr media
Faye: Oh it tickles, ouch that was pinch
Suzanna: I hear you were giving out orders when I was at home
Faye: It’s called taking initiative
Suzanna: Well I don’t want to hear that you’ve been doing it again, not to others who have the same role you do. I hope this brush with the simray reminds you of your role
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Faye: *scoffs* sure it does
Suzanna stared at her blankly. It didn’t make sense. The ray was set to transform, why had nothing changed?
Faye: You okay there Suzie? Oh don’t tell me, the ray was meant to make something happen. Like most your hack brained ideas it failed. I’m going to be going back to work now
Tumblr media
Suzanna didn’t understand why the ray hadn’t worked. It should have changed her skin shade, or her hair colour at the very least. But Faye left the conversation looking exactly how she did at the start. Sighing she tried to put her out of her mind and focus on her own tasks. Make a few flasks of snake oil, check. Examine the latest microscope slides, check. Calibrate the wormhole, check. Eager to have some time away Suzanna stepped through to Sixam.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As usual the planet was eerily quiet. There was the faint sound of wind blowing through the trees and mountains but that was it. No birdsong, no hum of traffic, nothing but the sounds her boots made on the ground. Adam had said once that it was a dead planet. Suzanna didn’t agree, plants were life after all, but she had yet to locate any kind of creature here.
Tumblr media
There was the occasional crater with an alien in, usually deceased. That just confirmed her suspicions that the alien specimens that crashed on Earth were from a planet other than Sixam. Putting the limp Red Coral in a jar she moved on to the many rock piles on the planets surface. There were gem deposits, as well as mineral samples, and of course the beautiful geodes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The air felt heavy but it was breathable. If the aliens who abducted and impregnated sims were of the same species as the babies they created, they can’t have chosen to leave because of pollution. Suzanna had done various tests of the environment and there was no sign of radiation either. Why did they go? What made them start implanting humans rather than grow their own species? Her and Adam had no difficulty getting pregnant, so the species couldn’t be infertile. With the same questions swimming around her head she finished up her gathering and headed for home.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Adam: You’re home! How was work Starlight
Suzanna: Not great. Shelly said Faye had been bossing her around so I tried to reprimand her but the simray didn’t work
Adam: It couldn’t freeze her
Suzanna: I wasn’t trying to freeze her, just change her hair colour
Adam: Should have frozen, then she’d know not to back talk you
Suzanna: if I could do it without worry of getting sued I would
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna: Have the kids eaten
Adam: Yep. Both have been fed and had baths. They’re just in the office
Suzanna: Oh how was your work today
Adam: Still just me and Alexander. He was telling me about this teen he and his husband have adopted, bro still looks like a teen himself, but it’s getting me prepared for when the boys get that old
Suzanna: I’m not ready for that
Adam: Don’t worry, they’ll be young for a while yet

Knightstone Household: Chapter 9, Part 10
Tumblr media Tumblr media
CW: Low level sim spice - Guide to Content Warnings
Silas did not have a good school day. He didn’t want to explain what happened but he got a very sad moodlet. Luckily for him he’d already arranged to have his friends, and fellow aliens, Tyree and Ruth come over after school. It was too cold to do anything outside so the three took over the living room and started a video game battle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ruth: Important question, what are you two bringing for show and tell
Tyree: I found this cool leaf that looks like-
Ruth: Boring! As aliens we have to set the standard in cool stuff. Silas can you bring an alien
Silas: What? We’re aliens
Tumblr media
Ruth: I meant from your mum’s collection of critters
Silas: Oh, maybe. She doesn’t really like people touching her science stuff
Ruth: You don’t have to ask her, just bring one
Tyree: Like you would steal from your mum’s
Ruth: I would if they had cool stuff for show and tell
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Silas: Maybe I should just borrow a geode, Mummy has a bunch. I think she said the whole collection but she never got a collection plaque? I don’t know
Ruth ends up winning the game leaving the boys annoyed. She and Tyree head home while Silas takes a nap until his mum gets home.
Tumblr media
Suzanna had a stressful workday and returns home with a bad headache. After waking up Silas she grabs her dinner, Adam votes they eat in the lounge in front of the TV tonight.
Suzanna: Good day?
Adam: I leveled up my guitar skill and Pollock and I sent a book off
Suzanna: That’s great!
Silas: Mummy... can I... have an alien?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pollock: We aliens
Silas: I know. I mean one of the ones upstairs
Suzanna: Why? As like a pet?
Silas: Not exactly. I’d like to take one for show and tell. Please
Adam: I don’t think that’s a good idea, but your Mum and I will talk okay
Suzanna: You don’t want to take a crystal? We have plenty of those
Silas: Maybe. If I can’t have an alien
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Adam and Suzanna worked in tandem that night getting their sons to bed. Adam read Pollock a story while Suzanna sprayed the monster under the bed for Silas. When they got upstairs they got in their sleepwear.
Suzanna: Why don’t you want him taking an alien
Adam: I don’t want us to be the local weirdos
Suzanna: But Adam you know the alien population ratio is high here, that’s why we came
Adam: I know. I just... we got so much unwanted attention as kids. I don’t want that for him
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna: I know but he seems bright and he’s got friends
Adam: So I need to stop being so protective
Suzanna: I wouldn’t tell you that. But he should to be able to share something he’s excited about
Adam: Would any of them even survive a trip to school and back
Suzanna: The porcupine might. I can check with it tomorrow
Adam: For now would you get on the bed, I’ve missed you today. Let me show you how much
Suzanna: I think I’d rather convince you of my view
Adam: I like the sound of that
Suzanna: *giggles* Close your eyes
Tumblr media
The next morning Silas can’t wait for his parents to get to the breakfast table. Bringing an alien was Ruth’s idea but he would like to be able to talk about one, his mum has found so many.
Adam: Morning sport
Silas: Daddy did you decide
Suzanna: Your dad wants you to take an alien
Silas: REALLY
Adam: Hold on there are some ground rules. Don’t let anybody else touch it, keep it in your sight and listen to your Mum when she tells you all about it
Silas: Huh
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna: If you want to take one we need to go over my notes first. Otherwise you won’t have anything to say other than what colour it is. Show and tell is Friday right? I should have some time after work tomorrow
Silas: Yes, thanks Mummy, thanks Daddy
He happily washes the breakfast dishes and gets ready for the bus.
Adam: Thanks for convincing me. Anytime you want to do that to me again-
Suzanna: Shh, he’ll hear you! Let him be young and innocent a while longer
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Silas headed to the road to wait for the bus to come. Rather than just stand and freeze he decided to make some snow angels. Suzanna meanwhile headed to her garden to harvest and care for the plants. Slowly some were evolving into better plants under her care.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Arriving at work Suzanna was confronted by a grey sky and an angry Shelley.
Shelley: Thank the watcher you are here, I need to talk to you
Suzanna: What about
Shelley: When you had your vacation day-
Suzanna: My son was sick
Shelley: And as a mother of a Silas I sympathise but Faye did not
Suzanna: If you’re going to tell me she hates me I’m well aware
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shelley: Doesn’t that piss you off
Suzanna: It comes with the territory of being an alien
Shelley: She was lording it over me all day, barking orders, I have the same rank as her
Suzanna: I’ll talk to her about it
Shelley: I wouldn’t mind if you did more than just talk
Tumblr media
Shelley stormed inside and Suzanna groaned. Personal management was her least favourite part of the job. She just wanted to be a scientist tinkering away but no, since she was “the best” she was expected to control the behaviour of others. She set about her usual morning tasks thinking hard, how could she talk to Faye without it becoming a full on confrontation?

Knightstone Household: Chapter 9, Part 9
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Adam wakes up in a good mood. It’s his day off meaning he can take some time to work on his skills. First up though, food for the family. He cooking away but actually thinking about the painting he wants to finish when he feels things get hot. The food caught fire! Smiling through the chaos he took steps to douse the flames and, leaving hot breakfast for his family, heads upstairs to shower.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna: Good morning Silas
Silas: Morning Mummy
Suzanna: Are you feeling well still? You didn't catch a chill from the snow?
Silas: Yeah I’ll be fine
Silas speed eats his leftover pancakes so that he can do some reading before school. He’s been feeling like mysteries. Suzanna leaves him to clean the dishes and do other chores while a freshly showered Adam sits down. He’s not too sure about Silas reading such a big book when he’s not even eight but Adam read plenty of books he shouldn’t have when he was young. Seems silly to tell him off for curiosity that’s harming no one else.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After he’s finished Adam heads back upstairs to the veranda. He has a set of easels up here, the surrounding views often inspire him. Thinking hard he begins to paint. His day job is critiquing art but he enjoys creating his own works. When he finishes he congratulates himself on another excellent art piece and after some thinking decides to sell it to the local gallery to increase his fame.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna: Silas if you don’t leave now you’ll miss the bus
Silas: Sorry mum. Can I invite Ruth and Tyree around after school
Suzanna: Sure, I’ll let your dad know. Have a good day
Silas: Bye Mummy, love you
Tumblr media
With one son at school Suzanna went to check on the other. Pollock had been having a sleep in but was happy enough to get up and be put in front of food. While he ate Suzanna carried on with her chores, four people made a lot of laundry.
Pollock: MUMMY
Suzanna could hear him from the bedroom and went back to get him out of his high chair. Before she put him down however she gave him a big snuggle.
Suzanna: What are you going to do today
Pollock: Not no
Suzanna: Whatever you do you let Daddy work when he needs to okay Moondust
Pollock: Yes Mummy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
While Suzanna started tending her garden before her shift the frost slowed her down and she didn’t manage to finish. Going to find Adam she asked if he could finish it, kissed him on the cheek, and sped off to work. Adam went outside and watered some of the plants, although it was a bit tricky to tell what needed a drink in the snow.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Adam checked the machine but the washing was still spinning so he got out his guitar and practiced a few songs. Pollock, who had been reading inside, came out at the sound of music.
Pollock: Daddy play
Adam: Sorry buddy, I need to practice
Pollock: No Daddy. I play. Daddy watch
Adam smiled as Pollock began the task of moving himself down the stairs and jumped in the snow. He was glad Pollock was content to entertain himself.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eventually the washing was done and Adam hung it up before collecting Pollock to take inside.
Pollock: Why in Daddy
Adam: We were outside for a while, don’t want to get too cold. Can you feel the heater inside
Pollock: Yes. Daddy can play?
Adam: You want to play or you want me to play with you
Pollock: With Daddy
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The pair played for a while but Adam wanted to work on his writing so he took Pollock in to the office room with him.
Adam: Alright Pol, stay in here where Daddy can hear you okay
Pollock: Kay Daddy
So while Adam worked on his latest book Pollock happily played with the toys, enjoying scuttling through the tunnel especially.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pollock: What Daddy do
Adam: Hmm? Oh I’m writing my book
Pollock: Huh?
Adam: It’s a science fiction book called We Came From Sixam
Pollock: Did Daddy
Adam: No Daddy didn’t. Mummy and Daddy came from earth carriers. But when you write books you can make up your own stories. My main character comes from Sixam
Pollock: Oh. Kay
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pollock grabbed his tablet and sat by Adam as he did his final edits. Eventually Adam felt like the book was good enough to go to the publishers. With Pollock escorting him he went to the mailbox and posted off the manuscript. Later in the evening his publisher called to let him know the book had been nominated for an award, very exciting!

Knightstone Household: Chapter 9, Part 6
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna and Pollock called Adam and Silas out of the office to open some more gifts.
Adam: Pol, what happened to your costume
Pollock: Not know
Suzanna: He wanted to get in his overalls after his bath. We’ve already taken the family photo
With gifts to each other out of the way the family examine what Father Winter has left for them. Pollock gets a Blarfy, Silas gets a model train, Adam got a common gem and Suzanna got a painting. It’s like Father Winter doesn’t know Suzanna is the one collecting gems and Adam is the one who likes fine art, weird.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pollock: Mummy, can we book
Suzanna: You want a book
Pollock: I lo books
Silas: Can I listen to Mummy
Suzanna: I guess we’re reading a book then. Let’s go in the lounge, it’ll be comfier than the table
The trio move to the lounge and Pollock grabs the spot beside Suzanna.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna: Okay let’s see. This one is about a train
Pollock: Does train have name
Suzanna: They just call it the engine
Silas: We should call it something cool like... Harold
Suzanna: What do you think Pollock
Pollock: Yes to Silas
So Suzanna reads them the story doing her best to substitute in Harold for engine whenever she can.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After the story Silas jumps online to play with Ruth and Tyree.
Suzanna: Now Pollock, did I see you hit Sydney today
Pollock: No Mummy
Suzanna sighs. She did see it which means it’s likely Pollock is an aggressive toddler. They’ll have to find some way to channel that before he ends up a hot head like Adam.
Suzanna: Want to play for a bit Moondust?
Pollock: Yes Mummy
It seems Suzanna decides the best spot to play is right in front of the TV that Silas is trying to use...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Silas: Do you have to play right there
Suzanna: I would move but I can’t find your brother
Katherine: He’s on your back Suzie. Die, clay, die!
Suzanna: Oh there you are
Pollock: *giggles*
Suzanna: Shall we fly like a rocket ship huh? Zoom
Silas: Stay on the right please Mummy. My character is on the left
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
At dinner Pollock finally gets his serving of the grand meal while the rest of the household has some fish and chips.
Adam: Silas are you alright? You look a bit pale
Silas: My stomach doesn’t feel good
Suzanna: Ethelyn was saying she felt sick, maybe he got the bug off her
Adam: Yeah that would- Pollock! Do you have to spill so much. Try to eat over your plate
Pollock: I do
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Silas: Mummy can I stay home from school tomorrow
Suzanna: I’m not sure the mod lets you do that
Silas: Can’t you let me do that
Adam: Silas we both have work tomorrow and your brother will be going to daycare. There’ll be no one here to watch you so you’ll have to go to school
Pollock: *thinking to himself* I made a pretty mess
While Adam and Suzanna take care of the dishes the boys nap on the couches, not quite ready for Winterfest to end.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Adam: Did we do Winterfest right then
Suzanna: There is one more thing... mistletoe
Adam: And it’s a tradition to kiss under it?
Suzanna: Yep. Can’t remember why but it is
Adam: Humans and their nonsense. Come on then Starlight
The two kiss and feel their hearts flutter. It's one of those times they both feel grateful to have found each other on this lump of rock.
Suzanna: Think we could have a quick jaunt upstairs before the boys wake up from their naps
Adam: Oh absolutely
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Heading back downstairs Adam starts a TV workout while Suzanna shepherds the kids to bed. Pollock is keen for another story so Suzanna reads to him while Silas falls asleep quickly with his tummy bug. Once Pollock is snoring Suzanna tucks her two sons in and is about to leave the room when she remembers the monster under the bed. She’s not too sure if Silas needs to see her spray it but she gives a precautionary spray just in case.

Knightstone Household: Chapter 9, Part 3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After completing his column before work Adam was taking some time to play his guitar while Silas used his mum’s computer to play arithmetic attack.
Silas: Have you written any songs dad
Adam: Have I? Ah, no, no. You need to be super good to write songs. That's why I like art, anyone can have a go at painting
Silas: What’s 4 times 2
Adam: Son you won’t learn if I tell you
Silas: Can’t you give me a hint
Adam: What’s 4 plus 4
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the bathroom Pollock is making a right mess...
Suzanna: I’m not sure how the puddle ended up quite so far from the potty... the glitches in this game I tell you
Pollock: Mummy I make... pud del
Suzanna: Yeah you did make a puddle! Next time we’ll try get it in the potty though okay
Pollock: I make... not pud del
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna: Don’t worry Moondust, you’ll learn
Pollock toddles over and throws his arms up for a hug. Laughing Suzanna pulls him close.
Suzanna: What should we do now
Pollock: Mummy I... ap... na...
Suzanna: Nap?
Pollock: YES
Suzanna: Okay but kisses first
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna heads out to tend the garden which needs some desperate attention. The trees are mostly okay but...
Suzanna: Stupid plants reverting bug... and actual flying bugs as well... seriously?
There are a lot of bugs to spray and most things need watering. Luckily Suzanna has high enough gardening skill to bust out a weed vaccum though!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After his nap Pollock feels energised and starts searching through the toy box for something to play with. He’s busy with a triceratops when Silas comes to find him having had enough of the computer.
Pollock: SILAS
The toddler rushes over and hugs his brother.
Silas: Did you learn my name huh?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Silas: Do you know your name
Pollock: I... I... Moo du
Silas: Nope *pulls funny face*
Pollock: *giggling*
Silas: You’re Pollock remember? That’s what Daddy calls you
Pollock: I Pol?
Silas: Close enough
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The two boys play for a bit, with Pollock showing off some of his favourites, before they move to the lounge. Silas spends some time with his doctor playset and Pollock tries to stack some blocks. When Adam gets back from work he passes them and says hello before heading to the kitchen to make dinner.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna: Alright, dinner time Moondust
Silas: Mummy you have to call him Pollock or he won’t learn his name
Suzanna: I’m sure that’s not true, Daddy calls him Pollock
Pollock: I Pol
Suzanna: Ah ha, there we go
Silas: Yes but I taught him that
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Silas: Will he eat what we eat yet
Suzanna: Soon. Applesauce for now
It soon became apparent that Pollock was now a messy eater. Very messy. Throws food on floor unintentionally messy.
Suzanna: How did that get-
Pollock: Yum yum
Suzanna: *sighs* I suppose you are eating at least

Suzanna Knightstone (She/Her)
Tumblr media
My Sims and their Spectrums
Romantic Orientation: Alloromantic, Biromantic Sexual Orientation: Allosexual, Bisexual Gender Identity: Cis Female
Suzanna has always known she's bi. Growing up she was fascinated with planet earth, hence her love of science. She finds all humans fascinating in their own ways, and sees herself as attracted to more than one gender. As a scientist she was thrilled to discover the labels that humans use for their identities and to find one that fits her.
She can be attracted to humans as well as aliens, a fact which drives her husband Adam crazy. Really he should be glad because it was his human disguise that drew Suzanna to him in the first place before they realised they were both aliens. She told Adam she was bi on their first date as she wanted to be open with him.
Most people are unaware she's bi as she's in a straight presenting relationship. She doesn't seek to hide it, but since she doesn't see it as the most fascinating thing about herself it's seldom mentioned unless the topic comes up. She's going to tell her kids as they get old enough to start getting crushes though.

Knightstone Household: Chapter 9, Part 8
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The good thing about a day at home? Suzanna could normally fit in a workout. She hadn’t been able to run with the heavy snow but in the afternoon it cleared up. She had rung Ethelyn and convinced her to come and keep an eye on her sons, since it was the other alien who had passed along the bug. Suzanna was growing to like Chestnut Ridge. As well as the strong alien population the vistas were beautiful, and looked incredible covered in snow. She felt herself get the self discovery pop up and urged the watcher to choose yes, she was an active sim now!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When Silas had finished his piano practice he returned to his spot on the computer. It was his childhood ambition to max his mental skill and he wanted to get some practice in. Pol had picked up his tablet and followed his older brother. He was happily chatting away while Silas listened to his stories and theories about the human world.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Adam had a pretty slow day at work. Normally the winter months would see an influx of art to critique with sims trapped indoors but with the holiday season most artists were taking time off to be with their loved ones. After he finished his very brief list of tasks and done some self appointed research he’d headed to the office lounge. There he met Alexander and the two spent the afternoon discussing the latest festival turnouts and playing paper football. When he got back home Suzanna was busy in the basement but he heard laughing coming from the office.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Adam: I think too much fun is being had in here
Pollock: *almost dying of laughter*
Silas: Ah phooey, I was just doing my Donald Duck impression
Adam: Not bad son
Silas: Daddy, do you think we’re better at voices because we have to put on human voices?
Adam: That sounds dangerously close to a biology question and you know your Mummy is the one to ask for that. Come on, dinner time
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The family grouped up in the dining room and Adam got a plate especially for Pollock so he could eat the same as them.
Adam: Are you feeling better now Silas
Silas: Yes Daddy, the stomach bug is all gone
Suzanna: Did you have a good day at work
Adam: Honestly me and this guy called Alexander were the only ones in the whole office, it was weird. He seems okay for a human, although he tried to ask me what my salary was about a dozen times. I think he’s a bit money obsessed
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After Suzanna had given Pollock a bath and put him to bed Silas came and asked if they could make a snowpal.
Suzanna: I don’t know, you’ve only just gotten over your bug
Silas: I’ll wrap up warm, I promise
In the end Suzanna relented and the pair headed out the front door to a nice patch of snow.
Silas: Mummy did you make snowpals when you were my age
Suzanna: I’ve never been your age, I came into the world as a young adult with a backstory
Silas: *blinks in confusion* ...Mummy did you make snowpals when you were my age
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The pair have managed to get a three level snowman by the time Adam comes outside.
Adam: Looking good
Silas: Daddy, Mummy has been telling me all about the watcher and mods
Suzanna: Just as concepts, not truths. I said it’s what I believe
Silas: What do you believe Daddy
Adam: That this world is far to complex to have been created by just one person, and if someone was deliberate about it then they did a bad job not leaving an alien colony on Sixam
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna: But you can choose to believe what you like about how we came to be Silas
Adam: Indeed. It’s what feels right to you
Silas: I think I need to think about it more, but not now, because we made a snowpal!
Tumblr media
Adam: And a very fine one it is to. Hey Silas do you think you could take a quick photo of your Mummy and I
Suzanna: Oh Adam I’m hardly dressed to impress
Adam: You always impress me, no matter what you're wearing, now come and smile that beautiful smile
Tumblr media
Silas: Can we have a snowball fight Daddy
Adam: Sure, but no ice balls
Suzanna: I’d be careful Silas, your Daddy can have a short fuse
Adam: I’ll try to breathe. You don’t want to play
Suzanna: Definitely not. It’s much safer for me to lie here and make snow angels
The snowball fight was short. Silas’s third snowball hit Adam square in the eye and he called foul. He still gave his son a hug before sending him to bed though.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna: I love you in winter light, it brings out your blue
Adam: Well I love you in any light Mrs Knightstone
Suzanna: Flattery will get you everywhere
Adam chuckled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. He ran his hand across her cheek and she swooned. When he pulled her in for a kiss she suggested they head upstairs to share their body warmth. Well Adam was not one to turn down a scientific proposal from his wife.
