Sims In Bloom: Generation 2 Pt. 59 (Celebrating Holly & Kris' Good News)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On one of Ash’s weekends with the Landgraabs, Heather and Conrad finally pulled themselves from work in Brindleton Bay to visit her sister Holly in San Myshuno.
"Holl, you look great!" Heather said, smiling down at her large baby bump. "I'm so glad we could get back to the city to see you before you and Kris are knee-deep in diapers!"
"You make it sound like it'll be a bad thing, but we can't wait!" She grabbed her stomach and laughed. "Oh! She's kicking! Want to feel?"
Tumblr media
Heather excitedly placed her hand over Holly's stomach, grinning as she felt a baby's foot against the palm of her hand. "I bet she can't wait to come out and meet you. It won't be easy, but at least you and Kris will have Mortimer and Uncle Karl around to help out."
Karl smiled. "I never thought I'd ever get to be so hands-on with a baby, but I think being Great-Uncle Karl will be pretty neat."
Mortimer smiled. "I'm already looking forward to when my grandson Michael can meet and play with his cousin Tetra."
"Tetra?"
Tumblr media
Kris returned from cleaning plates in the kitchen. "Yeah, I mean, Holly loves fishing, and Tetra's a really cool name."
If Holly and Kris wanted to name their children after fish, Heather didn't care. "Whatever her name is, I'll love her the same."
Mortimer mixed non-alcoholic cocktails to toast Holly and Kris' impending parenthood, while he and Karl chatted with Conrad about his work.
"So, Conrad, how's life as a detective on the coast? Do you see many smugglers in the area?" wondered Karl.
Tumblr media
Conrad shook his head. "I'm told it can get worse in the spring and summer, but the docks are pretty quiet this time of year."
"Smuggling was a lot worse before, but Brindleton Bay's starting to pull itself together," said Mortimer. "When Bella and I moved there after we got married, the place was pretty lawless. It fed right into Bella's depression and had us paying two nannies at a time to watch the kids. But the clinic really started turning things around, and the historical society pitched in to fix up the school and museum. One day, the town might even have a mayor!"
"Still, law enforcement can be a dangerous profession," said Karl.
"Brindleton Bay's a much sleepier town than San Myshuno, and it's a good team there," said Conrad. "I trust them."
Tumblr media
"I think he just worries about any of it ever touching his niece," said Mortimer, with a loving glance to his caring husband.
Conrad smiled. "Only our dog ever comes to work with me. I'd never put Heather or her son in harm's way."
"Uncle Karl watches a lot of true crime documentaries," offered Holly with a groan. "Lots of stories about organized crime coming after cop's families."
"I'm not working any organized crime cases in Brindleton Bay, but if it came to it, I'd lay down my life for both of them."
"It'll never come to that," said Heather quickly. She made a mental note not to tell her uncle about her trip through the flame portal to learn from the dead, nor that they still intended to pull out Bella Goth's Grimophone to summon the Reaper himself, when they finally felt ready. "This celebration turned dark awful fast!"
"Sorry, sweetie. It's just nice to see you with someone who takes his responsibilities as seriously as Conrad."
Tumblr media
They all knew he was slighting Malcolm but didn't bother to voice it, spending the rest of the weekend enjoying each other's company. ->

Wentworth Manor
Hello Simmers, get ready for a game of Beer Pong at the Wentworth Manor . A former family home converted into a Fraternity. This is a requested build which I was so excited to do! I would also like to say a massive thank you to all you guys for your support- we just hit 8k on Tiktok!
Fraternities have been impacted by the increase of off-campus housing starts in recent years. The Wentworth's examined their existing house and determined that for them to remain competitive, they needed to upgrade and increase their common amenity space.
In this area, most houses were built in the 1920s and early ’30s, affording a certain unity in design and volume, although many were altered in the post-war years. Most followed one of two architectural styles of the period—Collegiate Tudor/Gothic or Georgian Revival. This property includes a spacious foyer, 5 bedrooms, large bathroom, traditional kitchen, entertainment room, library and a casual living and dinning room. Th backyard also accommodates for a pool and deck for outdoor cooking. While majority of the features have been maintained by the Wentworth's, each student is more than free to decorate their own spaces as they see fit.
Would also like to say thank you to @alexissimsblog for her idea and name!

Help! Someone is making a punk movie based on the 1995 Rancid album ... And Out Come The Wolves. It's supposed to be about the East Bay but there's a casting call here in Portland.
I was a punk in Salt Lake City and remember the casting call for SLC Punk. It was done on the local alternative radio station and they told people to show up dressed like punks so a bunch of people showed up dressed as 90s punks for a movie set in the 80s. Also some of the most obnoxious fashion punks.
The annoying thing was after I moved from Utah in 99 everyone always asked how accurate it was. I was aware of that scene, but only the tail end of the 80s, was more into the goth scene and early 90s punk in SLC.
The most frustrating thing is that movie is the legacy for all the things we real Salt Lake punks later built, a movie about selling out not about building community or taking punk ideas into other areas of life.
There are a few things like the token Mormon in your group, beer runs to Wyoming, and a few others things I have probably forgot. It was a strange place to grow up non-Mormon and all the weirdos stuck together.
So, anyway, my little sister who I was taking to shows when she was 12 says she wants to be an extra and is trying to get me to be one too. I guess I can wear my Discount shirt and Tilt jacket? But there's no way in hell I'm wearing giant pants again.
I have a deep respect for the 80s and 90s East Bay scene. Not just the music but the whole culture of activism, zines, culture, and The Gilman St Project has so much to do with that. I just don't know how they keep that integrity.

Thinking about why DBD managed to hit me so hard in the Older Queer feelings place.
I went to high school from 2002-2006 and it fucking sucked. For reference, YouTube wasn't founded until 2006, and this was before smartphones and social media and thus easier access to ~*~socially transgressive~*~ material.
The only queer characters I remember seeing on TV while growing up were punchlines (Will & Grace) or grimdark suffering and tragedy (Queer as Folk, The L Word, Nip/Tuck). The biggest slur hurled at us was gay ("Dude, that's so fuckin gay, don't be such a pussy!"). I never actually came out of the closet in high school, but I was still bullied for being perceived as queer because I dressed goth and, at the time, goth was still enough of a subculture to get mashed in with 'everything else society considers fucked up.' I knew two 'out' queer kids in high school, both gay cis boys who leaned effeminate, and dear god they were not treated kindly. Matthew Shepard's brutal torture and murder was still fresh in our collective memory. I also made the classic mistake of falling in love with one of my oldest, and straightest, girl friends. 🙃
And this was near the California Bay Area, traditionally considered one of the most queer-friendly regions!
So anyway, fast-forward to today, and here's Edwin, being unabashedly effeminate in all the ways that I learned to associate with getting a fast fuckin beatdown, and he's...treated with respect, both by other characters and ALSO the broader narrative. He's the recipient of multiple different kinds of love and attraction. None of his flaws have anything to do with being effeminate. And even the surface-level dynamic of Charles being his self-proclaimed protector has nothing to do with Edwin's own abilities -- that he is, in fact, able to endure in ways that no other character has been shown capable of yet, and again, not for any reasons that have to do with the narrative itself punishing Edwin for daring to be gay.
And then: the confession in Hell. When I eventually confessed to my best friend, she hemmed and hawed and put me off without a concrete answer, only that she was happy with her current boyfriend. Fair enough! But then she strung me along for a couple of years until I finally pushed for an answer on whether or not there was any hope, and only then did she said no, she's straight. In retrospect, both of us could have handled it better than we did; we haven't spoken since.
So when Edwin confessed, I found myself getting tense, bracing myself for the inevitable brush-off and awkwardness, which is a common reaction IRL, just...not the fictional wish-fulfillment one from a viewer, y'know? Except that's not what happened! It's not that Charles didn't give Edwin a hard 'no' (no one is ever, ever obligated to return affection), it's that Charles gave Edwin an HONEST one, AND it was kind, and there wasn't a sense that their friendship had lost any trust or anything!
And I'll be honest, that made my cracked, stoic heart cry just a little bit and healed something from my late teen/young adult self.

Goth-Pod Ep 7:  Metropolis vs Gotham
Welcome back to goth pod! Will Juda Boone see a city rivalry put to rest? Seems unlikely in a 4 minute episode! But join us anyway for the question: Metropolis or Gotham?
[goth-pod is a fictional, in-universe podcast based on the DC comics universe. Juda Boone is an original fictional character, not based on any real person or known comic book character.]
Transcript under the cut
Hello everyone and welcome back to Goth-Pod! Your Gotham based podcast. I am, of course, your favorite unconquered tri-state area and host, Juda Boone
I can't believe I'm about to say this, but this episode is sponsored by Wayne Enterprise. Wayne Enterprise is a multi-faceted company based out of Gotham. The rebranding of their tech line is scheduled for the first of the new month, so keep an eye out for that. They sent over an entire box of Wayne Tech recording equipment and I am more than stoked to try it out. 
Whoever got our last joke episode on the desk of Bruce Wayne or Bruce Wayne's Team, I am simultaneously mortified and honored. 
Now, onto today's episode. 
Metropolis is Gotham’s sister city. Some say they can see the glittering skyscrapers from across the bay on a clear day- but I have never known a clear day in Gotham in my life, so I don't know where they got that. 
But, if she’s our sister city, why the ever-so-loud rivalry? 
Before we continue, I am noting that I will not be touching on the Superman / Batman debate. That would be a whole different episode. 
We posted a poll on our socials with the simple question: Metropolis or Gotham? This poll resulted in 139 votes. 21% voted Metropolis. 79% voted Gotham
But I think that's to be expected from our audience. We're Gotham based. Before I'm a host, I'm a Gothamite. I've had 23 years to develop my bias for my home city, something I think our listeners can relate to. 
And it comes down to that key word: Home. The pride and possessiveness that comes with a sense of belonging. I'm sure the results would've been different if we were Metropolis-based.
Really, I get it! I’ve heard just about every verbose rant about “How could anyone live in a city like Gotham?” And there are points I agree with! I understand the deep, deep flaws that my city is trying to find solutions for. 
Just like I’m sure Metropolis is dealing with Lexcorp running more than half the city with Lex Luthor’s selfish, greedy charm. While you’re handling your gentrification, we’re celebrating the preservation of our historic district.
Or how Gotham U beat the Metropolis Bulldogs this past sports season! Maybe it’s all the sunshine getting in the players eyes? Good luck next year, everyone.
“Oh but I would be afraid to walk home at night!” Well that's the difference between us! You’re afraid to walk at night. We know how to punch a clown in the face by the time we’re 10! 
[Clears throat] 
What I meant to say was. Um...
People can feel.. Protective. When something feels like a kindred spirit. Gotham City is a place few people understand. But we, its citizens, it’s children are what makes it. We too stand tall and strange alongside our buildings. We too have our shadows and our secrets that we dare not share with the rest of the world. 
Metropolis is a beautiful city. And so is Gotham. To me, Metropolis is beautiful like a sister. Shining with potential, smiling while leaving you behind. Gotham is beautiful like a mother. Old and scolding. Giving a type of tough love that takes time to understand. 
I love my city. I hope my words, in this episode and others, can help others love it the same way. 
Thank you for joining me. I’m Juda, you’re listening to Goth-Pod. Until next time, stay safe, Gotham.

Day 7 of 7, Fall 2007
The scent of citrus fills the air as Cassandra carefully prunes her lemon tree, humming quietly to herself. It’s been a peaceful morning in the Goth household, Timaeus giggling nearby with his toys, Phil baking cupcakes, Gus and Alijah working out, while Mortimer paints - the house is a little bit emptier with Alexander officially living in the Bay with Cecilia, but the warmth inside the home is no less depleted. When a sharp, familiar pang suddenly grips her, Cassandra drops her shears. It’s time. She feels it unmistakably— the baby is coming.
Tumblr media
Quickly, she finds Alijah inside, her voice calm but urgent. “It’s happening. I want to go to the hospital this time.” Without wasting a moment, they leave Timaeus in Mortimer’s capable hands and rush to the hospital. Alijah phones ahead, only for them to be greeted by someone she wasn’t expecting—their doctor for the night: Count Vladislaus Straud, a vampire. He appears before them not in his human guise, but in his dark form, fangs visible and eyes gleaming in the moonlight.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cassandra freezes for a moment. She’s read about Occults, learned about their existence in school, but nothing had quite prepared her for meeting one like this, face to face. The night feels colder, more eerie, as he steps forward, his cape billowing behind him. But, with a reassuring glance from Alijah, she steadies herself. This is who she will have to trust tonight.
Tumblr media
Doctor Straud, despite his appearance, is nothing short of professional. He guides Cassandra inside, past a ghostly receptionist that only deepens the surreal nature of the night, and into the delivery room. Alijah, left to pace in the waiting area, can only sit in anxious anticipation. Hours later, he finally meets their newest family member — Apricity Goth.
