Introducing the Denny Royal family of Moonwood Mills. Of course, they are a family of werewolves consisting of Queen Veronica, her husband Jakob and their six kids and one grandchild. The oldest are triplets Adna, Cornelia, and Kristofer. The other three are Panagiota, Jakov, and Zsolt. I'll get to the grandchild in a bit.

But this story starts of with the Queen wanting to find a balance between the werewolves of the land who want to be more civilized, and those who want to be wild. In doing so, she decides to bring a then teenage daughter Adna to help her out with the civilized werewolves. She did discuss all things werewolf business to Kristopher Volkov, while Adna meet and fell in love with one of his kids, Jacob. Well, Veronica's plan do go according to plan, except for one thing: Adna being pregnant with Adrian. When Adna told her mother the news, Veronica was ferious. To this day Veronica did not change the rules of future of the crown since Adrian was born out of wedlock. She's still pondering about it, and also wondering if Adna will change that rule when she becomes Queen.

But since then Adna, Cornelia, Kristofer, Panagiota, and Adrian (Because of his mother) all went off into college. There will be another story featuring all five of them.

For now, this story is centered around Queen Veronica, Jakob, Jakov, and Zsolt.

--------

As Jakov embraced his teenage years, Queen Veronica took the momentous step of anointing him as Prince and naming him the ambassador to Tartosa. With pride swelling in his chest, Jakov accepted the titles, ready to step into his new role. Eager to discover his future, he went into the family room and logged onto the computer to take an aptitude test, designed to guide young Sims on their educational paths. When the results came back, they revealed his outgoing nature was a perfect fit for studies in Communications or History. It seemed Jakov would soon join his older siblings on their academic journeys.

However, the excitement of his new responsibilities was soon overshadowed by a royal obligation. Queen Veronica invited Jakob, Jakov, and Zsolt to attend a fundraiser at the local library. The evening began with a promise, but quickly took a turn for the worse.

Zsolt, feeling lonely, found himself discouraged by the absence of kids his age. In a moment of melancholy, he took to the keyboards, pouring his feelings into a soulful blues tune that echoed through the hall.

Jakov, determined to make the best of the situation, engaged with guests, showcasing his knack for conversation. Despite his efforts, the atmosphere felt stifled. The only ones truly enjoying the evening were Veronica and Jakob, who animatedly conversed with an eclectic group of attendees, including Queen Elaine Pruitt of Bridleton Bay, the enigmatic Vampire Queen Chloe Masters, and the Spellcaster Queen Ashlee Embers. Yet, amidst the royal chatter, the fundraiser fell flat, lacking the energy and excitement it had promised. The event ended with all the werewolves howling.

Upon returning home, the mood lightened as Jakov and Jakob turned into werewolves and challenged each other to a spirited game of tug-of-war.

Once inside their castle, laughter soon filled the room, providing a welcome escape from the day’s disappointments. Soon, both Jakov and Zsolt began to play-fight, enjoying their playful rivalry and lifting each other’s spirits with the fun.

As the night drew to a close, Queen Veronica went back outside to gaze at the moonlit landscape of Moonwood Mills, her heart heavy with the weight of her family's legacy. With Jakov now a prince and Zsolt still finding his place, she couldn't help but wonder: What challenges and changes lay ahead for the Denny Royal family? How would they navigate the delicate balance between tradition and the future? And how would they address the rift among the werewolves—those who want to embrace their wild nature and those who wish to be more civilized? These questions lingered in the air, echoing through the quiet of their home.

A reddit community built around a kind of counterculture over the "i'm so badass I love skeleton-and-wolf-based images" but subverting them with an eye towards being anti-gatekeeping and encouraging more positive interactions - sometimes directly, sometimes through satirizing the kind of people who would be unironically into the original images. I was never really into it, it was just enough on my periphery that I was aware of what they were doing, and generally approved of the kinds of things I saw.
