Someone left a comment on the tags of the Rose compilation I posted last night suggesting that the Roses should have slightly different names which I actually like a lot, especially so I can differentiate between the two rose strilondes, sooo have the (unofficial) names for all the alternate Roses + their chumhandles and weapons! Subject to change if I feel like I found something more suitable but here are now.
Just in case the text is too small, here they all are in order from left to right;
Rami Egbert / tabooTroublemaker / Planchettekind
Rhys Strider / thornlikeTemperament / Bowkind (as in, violin bow)
Rose Lalonde / tentacleTherapist / Needlekind (I mean you already know)
Ruby Harley / towetTranscription / Wandkind
Rory Crocker / trivialTurnabout / Needlekind
Rina Strider / tacitTheocrat / Dollkind
Rhea Lalonde / toxicTragedy / Poisonkind
Rian English / tyrantTestimonial / Crossbowkind
Nobody asked me to give them all chumhandles and spend two hours looking at words that start with T but I did it for them

There's technical in fandom terminology for all of this but I don't know it, sorry for being a cringefailwaifu or what have you.
I am trying to keep a family alive for 10 generations of short lifespans. This is a known style of play, but IDK the word.
Anyway, I'm on Gen 7, it's going so good, I just wanted to note everything down before I forget.
Gen 1 (founding family):
I decided to populate the world with rainbow pastel sims, and began play with a werewolf version of @arionwind, who ultimately bred out with a pink pastel sim. Conveniently, because werewolves can achieve immortal status, this Ari sim is still alive.
Meanwhile, the pink sim turned out to be a witch, a genetic trait allowing the character to use cheat codes "in universe" as magic.
This meant all children would be either genetic witches or genetic werewolves.
Gen 2 (banananananana):
The first child of G1 would ultimately be our throughline. Because of my exceedingly, violently modified game settings, this one came out a trans man autonomously on age up, so that's fun. Although born with human skin, I modified him to have pastel yellow, beginning a trend throughout the subsequent generations of picking a theme color for all of the kids skin, hair and eyes in a generation. All other genetics were left unmodified.
His name was Syrene and he was the first one to be named Serrano as well. A real trendsetter, he determined a lot of things about future generations' play styles.
He also had 7 children, including 2 sets of twins. My man was Never Not Pregnant.
He was so happy about being a parent that he funded the family money tree, which rapidly became the primary source of income in the game. A money tree is a garden object you can buy with reward points for making your sim happy. At higher levels, it pays 22,500 dollars a day.
He personally funded 3 of them.
Cheerful as fuck.
Gen 3 (grape):
Ultimately I elected to follow the youngest of the younger set of twins, Rori. Her twin, Augustin, was the last natural born werewolf in the family line, as he never had children himself. However, he remained Rori's close friend throughout her life.
Rori sired many children in her life as a world travelling magical duelist, and ultimately raised a handful of them while paying double child support to the rest.
Gen 4 (bluet):
The 5th of Rori's children, a retiring homebody who ran off to a rural village when she got pregnant. She spent her life making Unusually Strong Potions due to sims of this generation and later having the Ancient Bloodline trait. She also raised llamas and kitted a lot.
A very chill woman overall, which makes the Dramatics of her child... impressive.
Gen 5 (brown on brown IDK she was born very pretty but not very fruity):
Maricela Serrano, you beautiful bitch.
Maricela died at her adult birthday of Having Too Much Fun, a known cause of death in the game.
She had recently, as in the day before, finished marrying her wife, Sidney Lalonde, of the Newcrest Lalondes (when I first populated the game in gen 1, I put in a homestuck house on an unused map and forgot about it entirely until this point).
Because both were born with the double fertility trait (heavily modded game!) both of them were able to sire and carry children over the course of their engagement, and ultimately they had 6 children together. And oh man, what children they were, raised by the ghost of a dead mom, and an Actual Lunatic Immortal Witch because oops somewhere along the way Sydney drank an immortality potion.
Gen 6 (peachy teens!):
The eldest, Romeo. The twins Viola and Sebastien. The twins Lady and Othello. And the youngest, Ariel.
Of them, Ariel quickly seemed the loveliest and the most worth pursuing genetically, however, Ariel proved the first of a dramatic calamity about to befall the family line.
Although both Maricela and Sidney were witches, Ariel proved to have no magical ability. So I set them up to be a comedy focused NPC and moved on to Othello.
Othello was an over acheiver (which is a type of teenager you can play, with specific goals) who quickly graduated high school and entered college as a teen, a thing I did not know you could do in this game until he did it.
This is of critical importance.
He went to college and on the FIRST. NIGHT. AFTER. CLASS.
He died of studying too much in the library. His brain exploded into computer symbols.
In addition to not knowing teens could go to college I also did not know they could die.
I relented to my next backup, Lady. Lady is a mean, evil, romantic sim and almost immediately dies of being too angry, another known cause of death in the game.
I am rapidly running out of peachy teens!!!!!!
I fall back to Romeo, who is at this point an adult with the goal of becoming world famous, so I make him an actor and off we go.
As part of the bit, I have him sire as many kids as possible. Every time an NPC asks to date him, he knocks them up and breaks up with them immediately. He did this himself the first 2 times, but I make it an enforced rule from then on.
He gets world famous, becomes old, and decides to meet his many children.
Gen 7 (cherry red and spring green):
All of Romeo's children were born without magic, so I picked the prettiest one and had her run away to live at the beach. She became a mermaid because I think they are pretty.
She lived an extremely uninteresting life of being a B list youtuber and raising her only child, a daughter she had via IVF with her best friend from high school.
Super chill, very normal.
Gen 8 (strawberry pink and dark green):
No idea why her child came out human and evil, but that happened. Anyway, while bringing Romeo's gravestone to the family graveyard, Sidney (the immortal Lalonde) was just like, "hey Siobhan, stand still, you're a witch now."
So I guess my vague plans of making her be a vampire are over, since you can only be one kind of magic thing at a time.
But she can still be a supervillain so that's fun!
And that's where we're at.
