That night was Thorn's 1st birthday. Derrick was still at work so Iris and Nimue celebrated on their own. Iris helped Thorn to blow out the candles...
... and he aged up! Such a cutie! And I finally remembered to start rolling for glasses in Round 8... 😄 They make sense for him though and look really adorable!
When Derrick got home from work, he was responsible for putting Thorn down. I loved Thorn's little pink pyjamas to match his hand-me-down pink crib and Iris' all pink room! Smash those stereotypes, Thorn!

LK 106: You Miss 100 Percent Of The Shots That Don't Fire Around The World
(pt1)(pt2)(pt3)(pt4)
I have a headcanon he nearly gets shot and it sets off a panic attack, because all approximately 37 of us in this fandom have agreed that James is a PTSD Anxiety Child and I love that for us.
Like could you imagine if these lines were delivered as he was having a moment.
Blaming it on your men? tsk. Typical.
Colonel Smith coming in here with Tru Fax.
Girl just woke up from her panic attack at the first sign her family's in trouble. I love it.
oh my god she ships it, too
oh man he's gonna lose that leg.
Cousin. Tom. Is. A True. Leader. Of Men.
You dummy. She's a Phillips and therefore a True Leader Of Men, too, its in y'alls blood.
Okay but you know she's an adrenaline junkie, right? Like y'all seem close, you probably grew up together, you know this about her.
You can't talk a Phillips out of Ride or Die.
She really does have that True Leader Of Men impulse. Did she get it from just her father or from both her parents? Oh man my brain is coming up with so much filler backstory. Phillips Family my beloved.
...I'm not twelve years old I'm not twelve years old I'm not twelve years old...
...oh man, and now there's sarah/james angst bubbling up! God I forgot how much character development is in this episode.
Well its not like they have lot of strength to conceal.
Cousin Phillips didn't take alot of arm twisting to accept Sarah Phillips not only coming along, but being a journalist.
I wonder if he's always known she'd end up doing something like it and was always supportive of her living a life against the grain, perhaps because he's gay and understands what its like to be different from what proper society expects from you. Maybe they both can relate to each other chafing under society's restraint, and also both relate to the freedom and self-discovery they are experiencing in this new world (Tom finding his calling as an officer and finding his love, Sarah finding her calling as a journalist and finding her love,) though they went different paths to find that freedom. Maybe that's one of the features of the Phillips family - her dad seems to have run away to the new world for freedom, too, although in my head he handles it poorly.
Anyway back to the PBS Kids' show.
Back her up hell yeah, True Leader Of Men!
Cousin Tom: "Wait that worked?"

thinking about the way ghost doesn't hesitate to start killing shadows when graves betrays them but soap only takes one hostage
you can almost hear the voice in his head telling him it doesn't have to be this way; they can still talk it out
"i'm calling shepherd"
his first instinct when confronted with betrayal is to play it by the books: to go up the chain. that goes against everything we've seen him do. he bucks authority at every chance except for the one time he's confronted with the barrels of his allies' guns
he wants a peaceful resolution; for the first time we've ever seen, he doesn't want violence to be the answer. there has to be another fix, a solution that doesn't end with him killing the same men he's been working with; his friends
nothing's happened yet
it doesn't have to go this way
but ghost has been betrayed before. he knows the way this ends; either with him six feet under or his enemy
he doesn't hesitate
it's only when they knock alejandro out that soap shoots; when they spill the first blood and cross a line they can never come back from
only when ghost orders him to run and he has to cover his retreat
and somewhere along the line, between civilians’ screams and taunting voices, between his shaking breath and ghost steady in his ear, that naivety is stripped away; his trust turned to teeth that he uses to sink into throats of men he'd have given his life for
"be careful who you trust, sergeant; people you know can hurt you the most"
he's learned the price of trust
just like ghost did
but unlike ghost, he has someone to guide him through the aftermath
"good advice, It"

Price: I raised four perfectly functional adults
Graves: … don’t you still make doctor appointments for Ghost?
Price: Well-
Graves: or call Soap every other day to make sure he remembers to take his medicine?
Price: I-
Graves: Or call Roach to make sure he doesn’t sleep in his contacts and makes sure he replaces the solution
Price: Listen-
Graves: And doesn’t Gaz still go shopping with you and freaks out when you walk out of sight?
Price: Phil please-

(after Buck has introduced his parents to Tommy at the wedding)
Buck(with a mischievous grin):...Hey, would you be down for me telling them we're engaged too, after only dating for a few weeks?
Tommy: Evan, don't be mean!...It's your sister's wedding day, don't take this away from her! Tell them tomorrow.

Round 8 - Autumn 2 - The Phillips Family
ROS for the Phillipses (formerly the Grimsbanes) is a power outage for two days of the round. Nice and simple. Let's go!
The round began with Frost moving out. We'll catch up with him next.
Iris started her morning by snuggling with nooboo Thorn. I don't blame her - he's so cute! I'd forgotten how much I missed having babies and toddlers around. We haven't had any since Sage!
Nimue, meanwhile, moved straight into Frost's room. She redecorated it to suit her colours and much preferred the bright orange room even though she had to keep the furniture.
(Really it's just that I finally caved and downloaded a bunch of @poppet-sims' brightly-coloured wallpapers. I've spent 19 years trying to decorate houses with the vanilla game floors and walls and everything just looked so bland all the time. It's much better now!)
