Snow White and the Achieved Aspirations
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
avaricesims Welcome back to 101 Disney Babies! In the last chapter we got to have a brief reprieve from toddlers, and Snow fell pregnant with her ninth child following a bit of a break. She was not happy about it.
Those pregnancy boobs, huh Snow.
Snow: you shut your mouth.
It can't help having your eldest daughter and her extremely svelte figure around reminding you of how pregnant-for-the-eighth-time you are. Mim and Cinderella remain fast friends, and Mim is still actually trying for her social butterfly aspiration. I forget this kid's name though. I'm so good at this game.
Snow is probably relieved when Kristoff invites Florian around to his apartment for a visit, and Florian takes oldest brother Simba, younger brother Fergus, and sister Cinderella (and her damnably non-fecund figure) with him. Creepily, they teleport in all facing exactly the same direction and blinking in unison. What the fuck.
Cinderella, who you may remember desires to be a serial romantic, takes the opportunity to meet Kristoff's cute neighbour. Kristoff is not happy about it.
Kristoff: stop ogling my sister, Feng.
Cinderella: go AWAY Kristoff.
Inside, Florian has discovered he's an uncle! Kristoff has married Ariana Busby, a girl he went to school with, and they've had a son named Phillip. This is Snow's second grandchild! I wonder if he spent the whole visit crying because his crib faces towards the floor to ceiling windows of the many, MANY stories high apartment building.
Snow's fur-grandbaby is also here and all grown up. Gucci is so cute and makes me sad that I can't have pets in this challenge without taking up a potential baby slot in the house. Boo.
Back home, I am just in time to send Snow to hospital to give birth. She looks miserable, as per usual. Poor matriarch...this challenge doesn't seem to be getting any easier for her.
Snow: if you joke about them "falling out" by baby number nine I will cut you.
Baby number nine is...a boy! Pictured here being cared for by the latest teenage slave, Cinderella, who now gets to live up to her namesake's backstory. Lucas Munch is the father, and I think Lucas Munch looks kind of like a mouse.
Photo from last chapter for reference. Idk man, it's the mouth I think? There is something distinctly mouse-y about him to me. I nearly named his kid Basil, as in Basil the Great Mouse Detective, but there is another rodent-based movie that I love even more (and think is one of Disney's most underrated) - Ratatouille.
So I named him Remy, after the main character. He's technically a rat, not a mouse, but close enough.
It's one in and one out in the White household, however, with Florian reaching his YA birthday! That's three children successfully raised to adulthood.
Florian rolls slob for his last trait, so it's a good time to ship him out of the house quick smart before he can make even more of a mess. Florian earned 8 points during his upbringing, managing Happy Toddler and toddler skills to level 3, an A in school as a child, and the Responsible trait. Unfortunately I didn't spend much time on Florian's social life, so like Kristoff, he has a family-focused aspiration (Successful Lineage) and yet like Kristoff, he's on his own in getting paired up and having children. I hope he does though!
Florian and Kristoff are in fact so alike that Florian moves in with his big brother and Ariana, along with his nephew Phillip of course. Kristoff's apartment is huge and very fancy, with enough bedrooms for Florian to join them and it not be an issue. Good luck, Florian!
I am determined not to let any more kids have non-existent social lives prior to their YA birthdays, so Mim has a friend over. Austen is a gloomy child, which means he always mopes sadly around the place when he visits, and yet Sally and Mim have both fixated on him for friendship. Mim looks SO happy in his company.
Cinderella, meanwhile, starts following in the footsteps of her famous father, Thorne Bailey, by taking up singing.
She even starts a teen club called The Performers, centred entirely around music and performing, inviting along some other teens she has met at school.
Including a rather cute, windswept young man by the name of Louis Amato.
Who quickly, to his immense surprise, becomes her boyfriend.
You know that little happy jig that Sims do when they agree to date? I laughed because even when doing that, Louis looked alarmed and somewhat overwhelmed. Never mind, I think Cinderella will be happy with a boyfriend who is something of a shrinking violet. She can shine in the spotlight while he fades charmingly into the background and never ever takes the shine off her!
Back home, we have a birthday to celebrate!
Remy is cute! And there is absolutely nothing mousey about him whatsoever. Don't become too complacent though - it turns out that Lucas Munch growing up looking weird and scary is a sort of Sims 4 meme, because he starts his Sims 4 life as a premade a very cute blond child. We will be reserving opinions on Remy until he reaches his teenage years. For now, though, adorable, and has taken heavily after his father in hair and eye colour. He is a wild toddler.
Florian pops over to see his youngest brother, and gets given his key to the residence.
And in visiting little brother, finds he's living up to his wild personality trait and wreaking havoc.
Poor Mim!
Cinderella, meanwhile, is embracing her teenage moodiness. She's joined the drama club, since she yearns for fame and fortune, and therefore becomes the first teenager officially allowed to do so, since they don't get paid for it. The family is still far from wealthy, but Snow is consistently covering her bills now, and slowly upgrading the furniture and appliances.
Snow is surprisingly close with her first daughter in law, Elena, who is married to eldest son Simba. Elena invites her out fairly often, then looks grumpy when they decide to sit outside in the rain. Snow hasn't met Kristoff's wife Ariana yet, nor her youngest grandson, so a visit is definitely in order sometime. Right now though...green mohawk has caught my attention.
His name is Ariel Goth. A Goth! Not quite Mortimer Goth himself, but his son...good enough. Let's take this inside, shall we?
He and Snow hit it off right away, and are soon flirting up a storm.
So naturally, the next morning, Snow invites him around.
They tuck themselves awkwardly into the corner of the entrance way, by the door to the kid's bedroom, for kissing and whispering sweet nothings.
Mim: Hey Fergus, can you hear that?
Fergus: the muttering and sucking noises?
Mim: yeah.
Fergus: I'm pretending I can't.
Snow: as wacky as this whole ridiculous challenge is, the jumping into bed with an attractive man part is my favourite.
Good for you, Snow.
Unfortunately, Snow has been so busy courting her next baby daddy that the latest baby is in a right state.
Ariel: What have I stumbled in to.
Poor Remy expresses his displeasure by destroying yet another school project. One of the twin's this time, I think.
Snow does get the kid cleaned up, but the house is another story.
Simba: this place is a mess, Mum.
Snow: sure is.
Simba: you don't seem worried?
Snow: ♫ I just had sex . . . ♫
She's not actually being a useless parent and homeowner though, she's been busy trying to earn a bit more of a steady living. After publishing around five or six books by this point, she's now earning roughly $600 a day in royalties, which is nothing to sneeze at and by far a more reliable income than the garden alone.
All work and no play makes Snow a dull girl, however. Worried that Ariel hadn't managed to do the deed the first time around, and with Snow rapidly heading for her twilight years (even with aging freezing in pregnancy), it was time for a little oasis spring's seduction.
And bonking in a bush, like the classy lady she is.
Before winding down with some fishing, as the family haven't had any fish in the fridge for a while.
Snow: ooh, what a pretty fishie. I shall make you into tacos.
Why does Mim get this picture, you ask? Because she becomes the FIRST child of this challenge to complete a child aspiration! Embarrassing, but whatever. She is officially a social butterfly.
I don't bother giving her a new aspiration because she is right in time for her birthday.
Normally I only bother with a post-makeover CAS shot, but you get to have this one because the randomizer saw fit to give her frosted white lipstick and cake on enough face makeup she looks about forty. Lord save us.
That's better! Mim is deliciously curvy, like her namesake, a witch, also like her namesake, and absolutely freaking stunning. I love her so much. Darrel always gives his kids his really strong nose in my experience, and often his freckles as well. She adds cheerful to her loner trait, and wants to be a Master Mixologist.
Also, Snow is pregnant to Ariel Goth! Success!
Around about this time it was Harvestfest, which Simba joined the family for. He then cleaned the house, apparently feeling things were really falling apart without him
Simba: teenage labour ain't what it used to be.
Remy doesn't like Cinderella constantly practicing her singing, shushing her.
Oh my God, what is that face for? Are you in labour already?
Snow: I completed my aspiration!
What? Really?
As it turns out, Simba and Elena have had a second child at long last! He welcomes another son, called Jordan. Almost at the same time, Florian - who has settled down in record time with a woman named Gladys, ALSO had a son who he named Kurtis. So that gives Snow her four grandchildren! It's a nice moment - her three oldest all have kids of their own now, and I give her Super Parent as her next aspiration.
I celebrate with a lounge makeover. Not quite sold on the colour of the rug, but otherwise I love it. No more boring dark blue on the walls!
We haven't seen much of the twins this chapter, but Jack has been diligently working away on his aspiration and has achieved Artistic Prodigy! What is this, two child aspirations and an adult aspiration in one chapter?!
And more birthdays, of course. Fergus is becoming a young adult! He decides he's a perfectionist, as well as being a self-assured cat lover. Fergus earned 9 points - toddler traits to 3, Happy Toddler, A as a child in school, and both the Responsible and Emotional Control traits! He's our first to earn two of the Parenthood traits.
He celebrates by inviting Stella over.
Stella was a teenager until recently too, because she was in Cinderella's teen Performer's club. What I didn't realise until I browsed through Fergus' social relationships is they have a maxed relationship from working together as baristas.
It doesn't take much to turn a friendship into romance.
Then it's a picture (Snow is sick, delightful) and time to fly the nest.
Stella manages to nab $19,000 from her family (leaving them with like $900 haha oops), which is enough for a sweet starter in Windenberg for her and Fergus. They summarily adopt a cat they call Hubert (Fergus is named after the Dad in Brave, so the cat is named after one of the triplets from the same movie). Fergus and Stella are merely romantic interests, so it will be up to them where their relationship goes from here, but I would not be surprised if babies come along soon.
