#round robin legacy challenge

[teamdesert6]

Being a Huckleberry comes with certain responsibilities and expectations, but Lesley's determined to experience life on her own before taking Olivia's place as head of the Huckleberry household.

It took a little convincing, but after a tearful goodbye and a promise to return (and to host plenty of family dinners), Lesley signs a lease for an apartment in Copperhead City. Her first order of business?

Rocking out.

Watch out, world. Lesley Huckleberry's on the rise 🔥

Receiving 71/101 (70.3%) of the votes, Lesley Huckleberry is our sixth-generation heir! Thanks to everyone who voted-- I definitely didn’t expect to break 100. I still have to tie up some loose ends before passing the neighborhood on, but rest assured, the legacy will continue. Tune in to @ejsims’ blog later this summer for the next generation!

Bonnie: Wooo, silver fox! I know where Jayden gets his good looks.

Kurt: Ha! He's not actually mine, biologically speaking. But I appreciate the compliment. You're obviously very attractive too.

Jake: Wow.

(Slight spoilers, but this was the exact moment Bonnie was out of the running for "Jayden's future spouce" to me, lol! I don't want my poor boy marrying anyone lusting after his family members, lmao)

Game: 10 First Lines Challenge

Rules: Share the first line of your last ten published works or as many as you are able to and see if there are any patterns!

Tagged by the amazing @zorilleerrant!

So I don't have 10 fics posted, but here's what I have already and one which will be soon posted. (Just needs a round of editing before it's ready so I'm counting it)

1. Eroticism of the Everyday - Jason’s morning cup was interrupted by furious knocking.

2. Hoarding Robin - Tim’s obsession with the Robin had originally started with the quadruple somersault that had reminded him of something.

3. Awkward Family Dinners and Anecdotes - Tim didn’t have a lot of regrets in his life, but he had a few.

4. Are You a Mister or a Miss? - Danny was exhausted.

5. Legacies We Leave Behind. Legacies We Inherit. - “What shall we drink to?” Jason asked.

It was interesting to realise that I tend to introduce the character whose perspective I'm using within the first sentence itself. A lot of my writing process is less deliberate choices and more instinct so I've never thought about sitting down to analyse my own writing style. I'll have to start looking more carefully at the choices I end up making to see where I'm going with stories.

Round 3, Match 3:

Boasting an impressive seven-octave singing range, Lorelei Circe alias the Siren started out as a prominent singer and harpist before turning to a life of crime, using a special high note to put men under her control. She was first introduced aiding the Riddler, hypnotizing heavyweight champions so they wouldn’t be able to challenge his title. This seems to be what gave her the idea to deduce Batman’s secret identity, as her next appearance would have her hypnotizing those who worked with him in an attempt to infiltrate the Batcave and, when that failed, hypnotizing Bruce Wayne in order to commandeer his assets. Although her final confrontation with Robin and Batgirl seemingly resulted in the loss of her voice, Siren would later become a prominent rogue in the spinoff material, boasting a whopping seventeen appearances across mediums despite only appearing twice in the series proper.

With Julie Newmar unavailable for the filming of the movie (most sources I’ve read say she was filming something else at the time, with one or two claiming instead that she was recovering from a back injury) Lee Meriwether stepped into the role. Her Catwoman used her alias as Kitka to gain leverage against Batman, at one point even threatening to have Kitka killed if Batman got too close. Unlike Newmar’s Catwoman, Meriwether’s Catwoman did not seem to be attracted to Batman, or if she was, she never expressed it. While she teamed up with Riddler, Joker, and Penguin, she also seemed to enjoy escalating or at least watching disagreements between them, at one point even throwing her cat at them with the expressed desire that said cat would scratch them. While there is some question over whether her Catwoman should be considered the same character as Newmar’s or a separate one, the spinoff film Batman vs. Two-Face would portray her as almost a legacy character, initially a prison staff member who Newmar Catwoman swapped places with in order to escape, while the comic spinoff seems to see her as being Newmar’s Catwoman, since she never has a proper appearance in the books.

October 20th, 2023 - SDVX EG, Groove Coaster, Project DIVA, DANCE aROUND, PIU PHOENIX, DDR A3

THE TRUE DAY OF RECKONING HAS ARRIVED, NOW IT'S REALLY TIME FOR MOTL5 GAMING!!! but first, isn't this card the absolute coolest??? i got it while checking into the event, slapped a crude drawing of my fursona onto it, and now i'm geared up n ready to destroy!!!

so i went to waffle house for the very first time with my family to eat breakfast (very good experience btw, i already miss the chocolate waffles), then we set off to spend the whole day at the mall and GUESS WHO I FOUND FIRST THING IN THE MORNING

IT'S BOMBER IN REAL!!! IN THE FLESH!!! WITH HIS ICONIC LACH TOWEL!!! AND HE KICKED MY ASS AT SDVX!!! (but he gave me haruka e-amuse pass to compensate :])

always wanted to meet him in person and the dream had become REAL, SUPER COOL EXPERIENCE!!!

also random tangent but while we were playing sdvx, it turned out the PIU Phoenix kit was installed overnight and was being played while we were playing?? just last night it was XX... but i guess now i'd finally get a taste of the new system for the first time!

since all the dance game cabs (except DaR) were occupied for tourneys, i decided to warm up with the alternative... the busted old unused cabs! gc is so broken whyyy

bonus: HAPPY FAMILY feat. moca and uli!!! (the tiny kohammy is mine)

but now, after all those exhilarating meetings and fun times, it's time for the real deal, my personal action moment of the event... it was TOURNEY TIME!! STARTING WITH PIU PHOENIX!!! warmups were simple, trying out the new songs and getting used to the pads,

but then, it was the real deal vs MajinnTy in a waterfall-style bracket... and after almost getting wrecked with the top-right arrow dropping continuously... i managed to beat him 2-1 and took 2nd place in the pool!!! but since it's waterfall format (i didn't realize this until later), i got thrown into the redemption pool with everyone else and wouldn't get to play until later... but in retrospect that was STILL such an impressive victory.

so once the redemption pool started, i got put up against EMCAT, who had been slowly upgrading from level 2 up to here. it was a weird match, but i hypothetically managed to 2-0 in my set, getting this sick 985k on beat of the war! but once again, it wasn't enough to beat the acc gods in the pool, PacRob and Ty, and i ended up 3rd out of 6 in the bracket, which left me a little dejected to see i wouldn't have my dark horse moment in my first tourney... but in retrospect i worked against the odds and managed to do really well!!! such a nice showing personally, and i'm excited to train some more and try again some other time! (also the 2nd image is from the commentary that my friend watched when i was up which is why i mentioned the dark horse moment, forever alone...)

but NOW!!! IT WAS TIME FOR THE 2ND AND LAST TOURNEY OF MINE FOR THE NIGHT, THE ONE THAT WOULD SEAL MY POTENTIAL OVERALL LEGACY, THE DDR A3 TOURNAMENT!!! unlike the previous PIU tourney, this was a round robin format where all 4 players got to play against each other once in a best-of-three set. and after a set between two others in my pool, i was up for some back-to-back sets, starting with LUBANAHHHH

having warmed up already with pump, i decided to pick long train runnin' challenge for my warmup to confuse the commentators, but then the REAL action began. our first song was lubanah's pick, New York Evolved (Type A) DSP-13 (fucked up), which i dominated solely thanks to MA! and then when it was my pick, i PFC'ed Yoidore Shirazu ESP-13 on-stream once again, taking the set 2-0!!

next up was against KINDLADY/Zaphine, where we both went in without warmup and played Xepher CSP-15 (Zaphine's pick) and Mess With My Emotions ESP-12 (my pick), and i took the set 2-0 again!! except with such a close call on Mess With My Emotions...

and finally in my pool, i played against MisterGuy in both Step Machine ESP-14 (my pick) and Healing Vision (Angelic Mix) ESP-13 (MisterGuy's pick), where i would just barely win Step Machine by 2 points (even got clipped on the Ohio DDR channel), and then PFC Healing Vision to claim my 2nd in-tourney PFC, taking the set once again 2-0 and advancing to level 9 with a perfect performance!!!

level 9 came and i was put up against SnowStorm/SIM, thejurok, and gabbyjay, which would be where my demise would come... only before a bunch of cab crashes! no scores for most of these unfortunately, but i was bested 0-2 by SnowStorm on Revolutionary Addict ESP-13 and PARANOiA Revolution DSP-14 (my MA wasn't quite up to par on either songs, probably exhaustion from only eating before my pump tourney...)

for my set against jurok though, i won my first pick; roppongi EVOLVED Ver.D ESP-15, even despite forgetting to disable my sudden+ before the speedup!!! i forgot what his pick was, but i lost it and lost the tiebreaker too, MAX 300 DSP-12, in order to lose the set 1-2...

then lastly, the final and most ultimate set... the one against longtime Black Flag Academy admin and potential rival, GABBYJAY!!! this set was super funny because we both won each other's picks (he won Bang Pad(Werk Mix) ESP-13, i won osaka EVOLVED (TYPE1) DSP-13), and for the tiebreaker we got New Gravity CSP-14...

and after such an intense battle not shown on stream due to the sheer intensity and vulgarity (actually the stream was what was causing the cab to crash repeatedly), we finished the song and looked at each others' scores to see the results, and...

...by two points. i got a PFC up from a 988k, on-stream, not having seen the chart before, and yet i fell short by such a tight margin, losing the set once again 1-2...

but overall, super satisfying performance from both ends (and super funny reaction)!!! i loved this experience even if i didn't advance twice (which is fine, level 9 was more of a victory lap anyways LOL i was just a silly little teen playing against intimidating adults). but that did indeed conclude my tournament run at the mistaketh on the laketh, so until next time! thanks all who tuned in and cheered me on in chat, the support was so nice to read back at the hotel! but there's still 2 more days of the event to enjoy, so let's enjoy 'em!

I'm reading so many great Uberhood content atm again and it's itching me to lay my hands on one again. I know it's stupid and I can't commit to it anyway but I just love to see those huge 'hoods developing an intervined story and relationships between sims I'd never think of. I have set up a minimal cc game for my part of round robin and I think I'll use that game for the uberhood AFTER finishing my generation. I'm pretty hyped on the whole thing but don't get your expectations too high xD
