Outtakes

Pic above: I never noticed that there is a creepy skull on the back of this spider ö.Ö'

After I moved Francine in for our last episode, she got attacked by a spider!

Lets hope Saiwa won't waste his 'impressionable formative years' and 'continues to gain positive impressions of romance' - preferably with Jeb!

We found a pizza made by Satu. But when she lived here, the pizza oven wasn't released yet ö.Ö (And I never get pizza delivered) Or do the delivered pizze have that quote too? Plus: I've never seen that 'Melody of the Undead' moodlet. Does that appear when they hear the spooky music station? I don't even remember choosing this station... What a weird place.

Переменив свой статус на «альтернативно живую», Франсин осталась верна своим прижизненным привычкам.

Неугомонная бабуля по-прежнему продолжала глушить кофе литрами, убирать грязную посуду за домочадцами и часами сидеть на сайтах знакомств.

Встретив во дворе Гидеона, страдающего от бессонницы, Франсин постаралась приободрить внука и рассказала ему в своей обычной дурашливой манере о том, что после ☠️⚰️ жизнь только начинается.

Франсин: Зацени, как я теперь умею!

The Harris family. I had so much fun dressing up Francine, the grandma on the far left 👀 She still thinks she's 20 & can take your man with the snap of her fingers!

After my brain exploded from that hidden Nervous theory I made yesterday, I decided to turn my focus back on Sims 4 families. You might know I sometimes draw that kid with the bag on his head, Jeb Harris. Well today I'm focusing on his grannie that lives with him, his brother, and his parents. It's been theorized that she has a sister due to them having the same last name. Lydia Spencer is the mother of Alice Spencer-Kim and ex-wife of Dennis Kim. She's never seen in the game, so it's assumed she passed away before the game started. I think they're sisters, cause I doubt Francine ever married as she has the noncommittal trait

Francine Spencer has always been rebellious. Her older sister Lydia was often praised for her achievements, like her winning the district spelling bee. When she tried to be as skillful as her sister, it wasn't even close to the level her sister was at. However she was pretty good at playing the piano, but this did not turn her parents attention on to her. This left Franny left out, and she saw acting out the only way to get her parents attention. She'd get in trouble most of the time. She'd end up running away at the age of 16 and never graduated from high school. She would take odd jobs and would get fired after a month of working. She'd also go out with a lot of guys and break it off after a couple months of dating. However, with one of them, she ended up getting knocked up with her son Cletus

Sorry if any of you don't like me drawing Sims 4 stuff, I know the game is not everyone's favorite, hell it's not even my favorite out of the series. I just think some characters are actually interesting to look into. Like the Harris family, even their house has some clues on what their family is like

“I’m the star! I’m the big shot around here! Nobody tells me what to do!”

Francine is about to leave and asked Jeb to accompany her to the gates. Jeb loves his grandmother but he loves it more when she's not around. More often than not Jeb ends up in embarrassing situations when she's involved... He's still shocked about the 'handle happening' and he still doesn't know what Sai intended. And Francine wouldn't be Francine if she didn't instruct Jeb to make it up with Sai. Jeb: "What if he needs more time?"

Francine: "Why do you give such incidents so much power over your relationship? I understand Sai needed time to overcome all this stuff with Kiyoshi. But it's over a half year ago, Jeb. And it won't get any better with you two just brooding, each on his own. Talk to him. He needs you. You know how much he struggles to be your leader and to be responsible for everything. Don't burden him additionally to also lead your relationship, hm? Make the first step and be there for him. Back him (at this point she winked twice at Jeb... oh my...)." Francine is due to leave but she quickly dragged Jeb over to 'Ye Olde Magick Shoppe' to make some last purchases of stuff that's only provided beyond the Veil. Vendor: "Oh, hey Francine! Long time no see! Hope you are still satisfied with our monthly 'Spicy Surprise Sac'?" Francine: "Of course I am! It's stunning what you always come up with! Each month new surprises to spice up our lives. Say, do you maybe also have a monthly box for beginners? Our Jeb here needs some support." Vendor: "Ah! Is he finally getting back together with his Vanië? Yes, we offer sweet monthly boxes especially for our unexperienced." Jeb just wants to vanish into the ground and never crawl up again. There are no secrets in this world... How do they even know he's calling Sai 'Vanië'? Francine: "Wonderful! Let's subscribe for this. You can always upgrade to the sophisticated boxes once you prosper, Jeb." How embarrassing! Jeb knows he can't stop Francine from ordering the box for him. Nothing can stop Francine. So he needs to make sure to let them quickly vanish before Sai and the others see them... ö.ö'

After they left the shop, Francine had a quick chat with the owls from the post office. To make sure the boxes also reach Jeb in the Otherworld... Big Owl: "Don't worry! We're as eager as you for him to make it up with Sai!" Small Owl: "I'll make sure to deliver as soon as the shop is ready with packing!"

By looking at the mess around the counter, Jeb just hopes a few boxes will get lost...

And then finally, finally it's time for Francine to leave! Francine: "Talk to Sai. Do not waver. I love you. Bye!"

A few hours later, after they'd spent another few hours in the potions classroom in the dungeons of the tower to share their research, Sai sat in the common room, absorbed in one of his gay romance novels again. He didn't even notice the others already left to go to bed. Sai is the oldest and their leader and - still a virgin. His fantasy is going wild. How would it be to make love with Jeb? To feel him? To share it all? To do all the things with him they do in the books? Over the last two years, when they were still together, they had a few make out sessions (e.g. at Tartosa (twice), in Tomarang, in Rider's Glen (twice)...) but they never went all the way.

It's late, eventually Sai finished the final chapter and went upstairs. To find Ji Ho sleeping alone in their room... Where is Jack again? -.- Skully: "Where do you think he is? Upstairs, of course!"

Yes, Jack is in the tops' room again. Because he refuses to let Sai dictate where and with whom he can linger and where not. Jack: "Oh, look there is a box from the 'Ye Olde Magic Shoppe'!" Kiyoshi: "Maybe for our next lessons?" As the small owl promised, they delivered so fast, there isn't even a label on the box with the recipient on it... And Jeb didn't pay attention. He's pondering for hours already about how to accomplish to start a conversation with Sai about their relationship - and it stresses him out beyond measure... He's so afraid to do something wrong again. And then Sai would get upset and he wouldn't speak to him for weeks - or months - again...

Jack curiously opened the box: "What kind of stuff is this?" He'd never seen such things before. (Well, except for the wand and polish set Kiyoshi gave to Saiwa months ago...)

Kiyoshi learned a lot of things at the Temple, so he explained all of the items to Jack. And how to use them. Jack listened curiously: "Ah it's almost a shame I'm never supposed to try them..." He gave up on love.

And then - of course - Sai charged in. He saw the items from the box before Jack was able to put them back in ö.ö Sai: "Are you seducing them? Again? I'm going to kill you! RUN!" This time, Jack didn't run. It's time to stop Saiwa on his downward path: "We did nothing wrong, Sai. Why do you even care what we are doing here? If you don't want to see it, just knock before you enter."

Sai left the room and slammed the door so hard the walls shook. Poor Jeb. How is he supposed to talk to Sai about getting together again when he has the craziest ideas of what they are doing here with Jack? ö.Ö'

'Now if you feel that you can't go on (can't go on) Because all of your hope is gone (all your hope is gone) And your life is filled with much confusion (much confusion) Until happiness is just an illusion (happiness is just an illusion) And your world around is crumbling down, darlin'

Come on girl reach on out for me (Reach out) Reach out for me

Hah, I'll be there with a love that will shelter you I'll be there with a love that will see you through'

The Four Tops - Reach out I'll be there (from 1967!) And, as a bonus: Indestructable (from 1988) - 21 years later! Such a heartwarming MV. Levi Stubbs had such a powerful voice. Amazing.

После того, как Мрачный Жнец пришел за Франсин, все семейство Гаррис надолго впало в скорбное настроение. Уход любимой бабушки глубоко затронул даже маленькую Иви — девочка стала часто плакать и плохо спать по ночам, то и дело просыпаясь от кошмарных снов.

[simblr-diary]

[satureja13]

Francine travelled beyond the Veil to teach the Boys another Potions lesson in the dungeons of the Tower. Like Herbology, they already learned the basics at Belgraves Institute, also from Francine.

And like with the other professors, Francine's time beyond the Veil is limited. So she's going to teach each group another recipe and method and they can share what they've learned with the others after Francine has left.

Group 1 does not demand much attention from Francine. Vlad is in a group with her grandson and potion master Jeb.

Same for Kiyoshi and Jack. Kiyoshi learned a lot from his mentor Dtui while he served at the Temple. Jack is happy they can work together.

So Francine can mainly concentrate on teaching Sai and Ji Ho.

Francine made sure they understood how a potion is made - from scratch. Not just simple recipe memorizing or following the process from a book. After these Herbology and Potion Making lessons, they should be able to create their own potions.

Then Francine called Sai and Jeb over to the big kettle. Saiwa: "Huh, this spoon is huge!" Francine: "Do you want me to pass you a smaller one?" Saiwa tightejed his grip around the girth of the handle: "No! No, I'm sure I can handle it!" Jeb cursed internally. Francine obviously dragged Sai into a salacious allusion. She must somehow became aware of that Jeb fears to hurt Sai because he's too huge... And why is Sai playing along? ö.ö' And why oh why can't Francine be like other grandmothers?!

Jeb was glad when the lessons were over. Did Sai just wanted to make fun with Francine or is he still interested to be with Jeb? After all that happened? He left the classroom deep in thoughts. Francine asked Vlad and Sai to stay a bit longer to clean up. Sai looked after Jeb. Did he get the hint that he isn't afraid?

Of course Francine didn't keep Sai and Vlad in the dungeons to clean up. Well, that too, but she needed to talk to them alone. They talked about Kiyoshi and how he's doing so well after he was allowed to be around Jack again. Ji Ho's feelings and Jack's heat. And all the other administrative stuff. Francine isn't allowed to intervene (they always turn it to their favour lol) but she hopes the education here will give them a few tools at hand so they can improve to solve their issues by themselves in the future.

Then she asked Vlad's permission to go all in in the next Defense against the Dark Arts lesson. Ms Coombes will need to find out what Ji Ho is capable of and maybe also if he really is under a Siren's Spell. Vlad's answer is always the same. If it is for Ji Ho, he will endure everything. Even death.

After Vlad was dismissed, Francine and Sai had a talk. Of course the three old hags witches had noticed how much Sai struggles to be the leader of the Boys. How much of a burden it is to him. And so Sai poured out his heart to Francine. That this burden torn Jeb and him apart and that he doesn't know how to deal with it, should it happen again. That he would have to decide to give it all as their leader or as Jeb's partner.

Francine listened quietly. And then she spoke: "Saiwa, did you know that you're the leader of one of the largest sub units within the Resistance? And the youngest at that. Most of us act alone or in a pair. And you're doing so well." Sai: "Really? No, I didn't know that." Francine: "And try to see all the issues you already solved. You're the only one of your friends that has Jack under control. None of the others could keep him at bay. They just laugh at his antics and let themselves get dragged into his nonsense. He only listens to you. You're a great leader, Sai. The others respect you and listen. And they are willing to share the burden with you, hm? Think it over again and if you still want to step down, we'll find someone else and add him to the group." Sai: "Someone else would lead us then?" Francine: "None of the others feel confident to take over. So we'd need to find someone who is willing to join you. This might take a while. Tell us your decision by next week, ok?" Sai: "Uhm ok."

Sai wanted to get up and leave but Francine isn't done with him yet. Francine: "We need to talk about Jeb." Saiwa drew in a deep breath and tried to prepare for the talk to come...

Francine: "I still remember how broken Jeb was when he couldn't rescue Jack and you from the Lab. He didn't even know who you were. He just heard there are two kids in despair and he ran off to help. This is Jeb. He won't change. He will always leave anything behind to help others. As he did to help Kiyoshi. And I know you would have done the same. As you did to help Kiyoshi. Right?" Saiwa sighed: "Right." Francine: "Have you never thought that this makes Jeb a great partner for you? He'll never keep you from being a leader. Never keep you from doing anything to help the others. Be it your friends or other creatures in need. You could accomplish so much together - if you'd only find a way. He'd keep your back free and help you carrying the burden of leading the Boys. You are not alone, Saiwa. Promise me you try at least. Not because Jeb is my grandson. Because it would be the best for both of you and your group and our little community." Saiwa promised. He loves Jeb - and there must be a way.

After Sai left Francine, he went to the ocean. Francine knows a lot. Does she also know if Jeb is still interested in him after all that happened with Kiyoshi and after all his screaming and overload and breakdown and all these months they'd spent apart? How can Jeb still want this? Sai rather wants to protect Jeb from all of this madness. Their crazy life, all their issues. Jeb could have his best life without them back in Copperdale. Sai feels like a fish on a hook... It hurts, it's ripping his flesh apart and he can't breathe - but he got cought in this and there's no way to escape... No way he's going to leave the Boys and no way he can live without Jeb.
