dixie "no clue what everyone's fighting about but fuck it i'm having a good time" land

penig reblogged your photoset and added:

You can always count on Dix to have a good time.... (Aw, Goldie’s hiding from the violence! She’s going to hate Veronaville so much!)

Dixie completely ignoring everything and just having fun was one of my favourite parts of this sequence, lol! I love Dixie. 

And yeah, we’ll see how she copes with Veronaville. Widespot certainly has its share of drama but Goldie’s no fan of violence! 

penig replied to your photo “That’ll teach you to screw with my sister, you homewrecker!” Romeo...”

...and the feud's back on.

penig replied to your photoset “I’m with Hermia on this, bro, it doesn’t feel right to me.”  “You’re...”

Oh, hey, look who just walked onto the lot! Way to spoil Mercutio's big day, Romeo!

Yeah :( Thanks Romeo for creating an utter shitstorm and re-starting the feud!! You’re a real champ. 

swedishjazz replied to your photoset “What the fuck??? Hermia tried to warn me about you, but I didn’t...”

Romeo Monty found dead in miami

Shhhhhhhhhh I don’t want to spoil my ultimate grizzly plans for Romeo but justice will be served lmao

ajaysims replied to your photoset “Would you two please just stop?? Romeo and my sister are very happy...”

'a word' xD

Hermia taking you aside for “a word” is a terrifying experience. 

holleyberry replied to your photo “Graduating AND getting engaged? Congrats, bro! I’ll take a...”

Is Chazz naked?

He’s wearing pajama bottoms! Kind of an unfortunate place to cut the picture off, oops! 

penig reblogged your photoset and added:

Their children will be beautiful and athletic and not know what a feud is.

Famous last words :( Their children will definitely be cute, though!! 

penig reblogged your photoset and added:

I’m only surprised it took him this long to ask.

penig reblogged your photoset and added:

You treat her right, Mercutio!

moocha-muses replied to your photoset “Here’s the thing, though. I know for a fact I want to spend my life...”

I was so chanting "Just propose already!" in my head.

Hahaha, I was wondering if this was a little abrupt, they’ve only really been on a couple of dates after all! But they’ve both had engagement wants locked since date #1. 

I legit really ship these two and will do my utmost not to let anything bad happen to them.  

penig reblogged your photoset and added:

I wonder if Goldie grew up with cheerleaders hovering around her dad and finds them less annoying than other people do?

penig reblogged your photoset and added:

Aw, Goldie has a groupie.

Goldie was on the cheer team for a while in this hood, so she’s relatively familiar with them! The fact that this particular one followed her everywhere amused me to no end, though

scottishly replied to your photoset

ooooooooooooooh *heart eyes* so preeetty *w*

Nice! I’m always happy to learn a new word, so that’s good news to me. :) The group is a mental health/illness peer support group. mdpthatsme replied to your photo “Compersion. I’m like the King of that.”

THIS IS FANTASTIC!

THANK YOU! :D san-myshuno-dreamin replied to your photo “I’m sorry, friend. :P”

The king sought guidance from the Watcher? hehe

Haha! Perhaps. I was also thinking he might be looking up and wondering why they’re all in this weird set location again. That moment every simmer has (or is it just me?) where they start to wonder if they’re becoming self-aware. lauriempress replied to your photo “(part ten) Don’t do this, she thought, but then resisted. No, that...”

Oops I got mixed up about who Ripp's night was being shared with. My bad.

No worries. :) I suspect you weren’t the only one, just the only one who admitted it. I was hoping to play with expectations there a little. ejsims replied to your photo “(part ten) Don’t do this, she thought, but then resisted. No, that...”

Sounds like they really need to bring Johnny into this conversation.

No doubt. *nods* I probably won’t rehash it, but rest assured that will happen eventually. pleasant-lives replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Lol. I'm like Rip

Guilty as charged. :P In the both the chips and the not wanting to share my chips. And also the sulking, I’ll admit, though I’ve been getting much better at that over the years. wickedjr89 replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Aww poor Rip :(

Ripp appreciates your sympathy. lauriempress replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Hmm, from that last line it sounds like the one he really needs to talk to is asleep upstairs.

We mention this above, but I was thinking that the fact that he said this line to her would reveal the truth about whose night it was supposed to be, but I don’t think it really came through clearly until the next post. *shrugs* Oh well. thisisej replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Ohohohoho! *insert surprised Chris Pratt GIF here*

Though I do think you figured out whose night it was, right? :P I like this reaction. A lot. :) penig replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Not like Ripp to be pissy, but he's also dealing with Dad feelings right now.

Ripp can definitely have his moody moments. The Dad feelings bring out the defensiveness, for sure. Getting into that head space probably takes him back to a time when that was his only recourse. holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Looks like this is going to take more than just an apology. Maybe something they'll have to journal out and talk about in group.

Yes, perhaps. Definitely some communication is in order. :) jaydesims replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

Look at that face. :(

jaydesims replied to your photoset “(part six) After checking in on the rest of the children, Ripp...”

Poor Ripp. :(

Thank you for your reactions. :) vladora-sims replied to your photo “(part eight) “Well that was nice,” she said. “Unexpected.” ...”

I love the creative discretion shots : )

Thanks! It’s a lot of fun to figure out those shots, haha! I realized after I had done these that she was getting into her pjs instead, so I could have gone with the tank instead of the bra, but there’s no way I was re-doing it. :P holleyberry replied to your photo “I was thinking about the actual details of JRO’s weekly sleeping...”

*gets out my simlish dictionary*

I appreciate your dedication. haha. Maybe I should provide a translation? w-sims replied to your photo “I was thinking about the actual details of JRO’s weekly sleeping...”

This is so adorable!

Thank you! I’m glad you think so. :) timberwolfoz replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

Awwww. :(

nicbemused replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

Disappointed Ripp is disappointed. Poor baby.

I’ll answer these together. Thank you for your reactions. :) mdpthatsme replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

Oh snap!

I like this reaction. heehee. :) holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

I agree with Peni.

penig replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

You can share.

Yes, he certainly can. And he does. ;) pixelcurious replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

His facial expressions are PERFECT.

Thank you so much, Pixel! :D I couldn’t ask for a nicer compliment than that. holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part six) After checking in on the rest of the children, Ripp...”

Damn! My hopes have been shattered.

Next time, Holley. Maybe next time. *makes note to deliver at a later date perhaps* ;) holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part five) “Alright, let’s get you ready for bed,” she said,...”

...and then Ripp walks in.

Pretty obvious, right? :P esotheria-sims replied to your photoset “(part four) “Hey Lil, that doesn’t look like homework to me.” “This...”

The 'your other father will string me up' line made me chuckle. Gotta love Ripp.

I’m glad you like that line. :) I imagine he’s right. Johnny probably wouldn’t approve of Ripp’s rule breaking, haha. He may be a tad too lawfully good? furryjackal replied to your photoset “(part four) “Hey Lil, that doesn’t look like homework to me.” “This...”

Hahaha I love when Sims play Sims! Even mine do too.

Yeah, it’s funny, for sure. :) holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part four) “Hey Lil, that doesn’t look like homework to me.” “This...”

Oh, I wonder who it was.

It was Buzz. I actually added a little link there for a refresher, because I’m sure people have forgotten. It’s been a while. holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part one) “Aww, look. Isn’t he sweet?” “Yeah, and the baby’s pretty...”

I love their cute little house.

Thanks. :) I love that lot, too. I really ought to get them a bigger one, because they don’t really fit there anymore, but I’m so attached! holleyberry replied to your photo “(part three) “Night night, little bean. How about you don’t come...”

Good daddies are sexy.

They sure are. :) Good mommies are too! ;) holleyberry replied to your post “Okay, so story posts. It’s been a while. I have quite a bit ready for...”

Also...Yay! More JRO!

holleyberry replied to your post “Okay, so story posts. It’s been a while. I have quite a bit ready for...”

Should have scrolled down a bit more

holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part one) “Aww, look. Isn’t he sweet?” “Yeah, and the baby’s pretty...”

I'm hoping a reblog means an update soon!

I’m glad you were so enthusiastic about the update. It made me smile. :)

And one anon ask that goes with this topic, too...

                                                                                                                              Anonymous said:                                                                     

i don't get it, why did ripp get offened? why do they have a sleeping schedule (erm,,, is it a sleeping or a sex schedule?)? i have been scrolling your tumblr for a while but couldn't find anything :C            

My response:

JRO have six children and four relationships to balance. There's most likely going to be some scheduling involved. Some might leave things to chance and inclination, but many people in polyamorous relationships do this. There's a lot of communication and often a lot of intentionality. This is, of course, different for every relationship(s). But even couples do this, especially once children come into the picture.

I don't imagine JRO started out that organized, but as children came along, and in the interest of fairness, this was the system that worked for them. They do leave room for spontaneity and flexibility, as illustrated by R leaving J&O to themselves even though it was unplanned. Of course, he also becomes jealous, but those sorts of things will invariably pop up too (and are not always logical), which brings us back to communication.
