This post kind of makes me a lying lier who lies, about the "I'm not really playing sims anymore" thing. I still can't promise I'll stick with it for long, because I really do have better things to do, and I get bored with it SO FAST.

but whatevs I am doing this, so DEAL

I started a new legacy. I know, my attention span. It's over before you can say "attention span". In order to sort of deal with this, I actually started TWO new legacies. In the same neighborhood. Named, rather arbitrarily, Marshmere. I've decided to just post these legacies together. Unfortunately, I have... 80 photos, all told, for both legacies, and I believe that's rather too many for one post. So I'll post 40 of them now and then in a couple days I'll get around to the rest. So - we begin!





Here we have Mirieille Dubois, our first founder. She's a very outgoing, if rather lazy and sloppy, Romance sim. Her favorite color, in case you couldn't guess, is red.
(The red hair in the foreground belongs Rivkah, a sim based on a character of mine. She shows up a few times later.)





Little legacy shack. She did pretty well, for the amount of money she had.



Er, this picture is important, because it's the only good picture I have of Dorian, the, uh, future father of two of her children. Honestly, I didn't really take many pictures of her romantic goings-on, and theirs was a somewhat one-time affair.



Rivkah decides she'd better leave them to it.







...yeees. Naked gardening. This happened with surprising frequency.



Did a little inexpensive decorating. Mirieille's LTW is to top Artist, so I'm sort of pretending that those paintings (which are actually by an artist named Sylvia Ji) are her own.



She went out to the bakery (because it was the only community lot I had in the 'hood at the time) where she found Rivkah and Karina - er, I say Karina; she's a book character and I named her something I can't remember for the purposes of simhood - being very affectionate, probably much to the appreciation of the cashier.

...actually, let's get a better look at that cashier.



Dear god. It's like Howard Moon and Vince Noir had a lovechild with very poor eyesight.



Pregnant naked gardening! Even better. Fantastic. Marieille, she's a classy lady.

(I couldn't figure out where to censor this since nothing actually shows, so let's just hope Photobucket doesn't pull it.)



And lo, a baby was born.



Oh, and then another one. Yes, that's right, the Romance sim got natural twins. Oh, the irony. It's hilarious. And I use the word hilarious quite wrongly.

(yes, I've been watching Stephen Fry talk a lot lately. What of it?)



Anyway. We have twins. This one, the firstborn, is named Adele, and appears to have her father's eyes...



As does this one, who is named Dorianne, after her father Dorian.



Aaand with that lovely shot of the slightly expanded house in the snow, we move on to our second family.



Her name is Jenny Dresden, which gives you the general idea of the naming theme for this family. I mean, it's not "names used in Dresden Dolls songs" because I would run out of those really fast. It's just names in songs that I like, generally. A lot of them are gonna be DD songs at first, tho.

(if you don't know what I'm talking about, this is Dear Jenny, by The Dresden Dolls, where Jenny's name comes from.)

Jenny is an outgoing and playful family sim. Luckily, she's not really your usual "must pump out lots of babbies" family sim, because I made her and I hate playing those sims.



Jenny's shack. Girl likes her grafitti.



Jenny also visited the bakery. Yeeah, that spot right in front of the cashier seems oddly popular.



Jenny: "Oh, yeah, that girl with the blond hair is really hot."
The... straight girl? Making out with a guy?"
"Sooo?"



Jenny did finally find a girl who she liked and was of the most convenient sexual orientation, pictured above. Her name is Yasmine. (The brunette with the ridiculous hairstyle. Oh wait. Okay, the one with the ridiculous ponytails, not the one with the ridiculous helmet bob. Not that I don't love both those hairstyles.)



Jenny: "Yeah, I totally did all this graffiti on my house. Awesome, right?"
Yasmine: "Wow... you're so impressive."



Jenny lost her job in the army. :/ Why'd you get fired, Jenny?

Jenny: "I don't know, they were just really unreasonable. I mean, they were all, 'No, you cannot wear bright red lipstick during training.' And they wouldn't even listen when I tried to explain to them that a key tactical element of attacking was surprise..."



"...and what could be more surprising then a battalion of transvestites? I mean, it's brilliant! But the fools wouldn't listen! And then they kicked me out."

I can't imagine why.







Luckily Yasmine came over and cheered her up considerably.



Ah, the life of a legacy founder.



I really adore these two together. xD





Yay, proposal!



It's the meeting of the founders!



Marieille attended their wedding that evening... (as did some townie guy)



...buuut Marieille honestly looked a little too happy for the couple.

Marieille: "Bwahaha, what a fool she is to get married! Down that path leads dispair! Clearly, I will rise victorious in this battle, for my opponent crafts her own defeat!"





Jenny: "Woah, that was fast!"

No... no, that one is from the time you woohooed yesterday, dear.



Yasmine cleaned up rather nicely, I feel. She's a knowledge sim.





Yeah, there, that's the one from the wedding night.



Yasmine: "Woah, my belly got bigger."

Jenny: "OOOOW MY BELLYYYY"



Jenny: "Hey look, it's a baby!"

Yasmine: "Huh, I think it's snowing on the other side of this wall! That's fascinating."





So, this is Blake. (Blake Says by Amanda Fucking Palmer.) He's got Yasmine's eyes and a skintone all his own.



Aaand the very next day, Yasmine gave birth to Sally! (Sally, by Gogol Bordello.) She's got Jenny's eyes, and judging from that picture, Yasmine's skintone.

That's all for now, folks. Hopefully it provided you with some sort of brief entertainment.
