Wishkabibble update - Gen. 10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I composed the intro to this post in my head a dozen times over the last week, each version more witty and poignant than the last, and now that I'm sitting here at the keyboard my mind is a complete blank. Typical.

I think I'm the first one to get to Gen. 10 (and live to tell about it!), and so I want to take a quick moment to thank [info]laridian and [info]judith for setting up the GUCCI in the first place. This has been so much fun, both playing the game and being a part of the community, and I'm going to miss the game part, since I'm going into Sims semi-retirement as of the moment I post this. My university seems to think I should be studying or something. But I will be here often to read and comment!

------

So Wish Ishkabibble II's legacy, a journey that began last July with the untimely death of Wish I,

has finally come to an end. And not a moment too soon, either... the third incarnation of the Legacy house slowed to a death crawl as I was setting up the final pictures. Phew!

When last we visited the big pink house, Gen. 9 heir Ypsilanti was lovin' 'em and leavin' 'em, accumulating Gen. 10 babies along the way. Wish Upon a Star was the oldest, followed by Wish Come True and Three Wishes. Star, True, and Three were best friends despite the strife caused by their Romance Sim dad.


Speaking of Ypsi, he aged into a smooth-talking Casanova whose clothes were *almost* color-coordinated.


And let us not forget Mishawaka, Ypsi's twin brother. He worked his way up the political ranks but the cruel Goddess never let him marry. He took to drowning his sorrows at the telescope, and we all know how *that* turns out...




He named her Meltaway. She was all sweetness and light, except when she didn't let him sleep, when she became the Evil Green Bitchbaby from Hell. But generally, yes, sweetness and light.


So pretty!

Misha soon became a senior and with his Viagra prescription came a new outlook on life. Tosha Go benefited...


as did Chloe Gonzaga.


Now for the Gen. 10 heirs:

Star, the eldest, was working towards becoming a Mad Scientist, and was comfortable enough with her unattractive self to let it all hang out during frequent baths at the sink.

If you're the only person in the room who sees a big yellow rabbit... best not to mention it.


Jan Tellerman: "I think I need my eyes checked... is that your *daughter* spongeing her armpits?"


Shiva, disenfranchised and envious Gen. 9 child, threatens Star with a dart.


Star had an ongoing casual relationship with Alvin Futa, but she chose to dedicate her life to knowledge, not raising babies and husbands. Luckily, Alvin was always available for jet-powered booty calls.


-----
Now the middle child.
True pretended to have a teenaged attitude problem, but was actually a kind person and good student. Don't let the hair fool you!


True ages to adult in yet another Worst Outfit Ever, while her loving family tactfully looks away.


True's boyfriend Chandler Platz was much younger than her, and though others thought it was icky, True and Chandler knew that their love was a beautiful, though illegal in most states, thing.


"Dear Diary, I met a boy and I really like him so I gave him my flower."


Chandler autonomously came by to visit True and say hi to his babybump.

The family asked him to move in but his mom said her little boy would never amount to anything if he didn't finish 10th grade first. Can't argue with that.

Observe as True and Chandler, who have done enough things that there's a freaking *baby* on the way, share their first kiss. Although she's mostly kissing his eye while copping a feel.


Baby Bing! (the exclamation mark is part of the name.) Bing! has big round green eyes just like the founder. Awwww.


True and Chandler and baby Bing!



-----
The youngest daughter, Three, had to work hard to get noticed in a house full of people including a small minty child. She acted out by dating a much older man, Victor, the downtownie with the bowling shirt and the glittering green eyes and the dagger-point nose. After True and Chandler, nobody batted an eye. Not that they noticed anyway.

Well... one person noticed.

"Hello, budding rock star in the house. Hello? Hello?"


"Maybe if I climb on the appliances, someone will care enough to yell at me."


As soon as Three aged up, she and Victor ran off to Vegas and got hitched in an Elvis chapel. He (Victor, not Elvis, though wouldn't that be cool?!) moved in with tons of $$$ and a whole lotta lightning bolts.


We had to do something about his appearance, though...

Victor, your nose has what we call character. Put the knife down.

Three and Victor, both family sims, had a baby named Veronica. Hey, SimGoddess, the legacy is OVER! Quit making babies!! Sheesh.


-----
Meanwhile, Misha's daughter Meltaway grew up totally gorgeous and I love her to bits:


Unfortunately, she's not really an heir because I was playing no-alien rules. I think she's glad not to be an heir because from what she's seen (and read in Deelish's tell-all novel "ISHKABIBBLE"), heirs are kind of skanky.

She dated Ralph Raja, the DJ, but no commitments yet. She's another knowledge sim with 7 skills to max out, which doesn't leave her a lot of time for smoochies.

Green boobies!!!!! Woo!!

------------------------

Okay, so here they are: the Ladies of Generation 10. How far we've come from Wish II's big doe eyes and adorable snub nose!

Wish Upon a Star Ishkabibble



Wish Come True Ishkabibble



Three Wishes Ishkabibble



The legacy-ending celebration!

One more post to come - an overview of the heirs through the years, and maybe some commentary on the ug. The rest is silence.

Maybe it's good that it ended because my list of available names was starting to get pretty sparse. The next baby was scheduled to be named Borshcht, like the soup, and I hated to do that to anyone!

Yay! First to reach Gen 10! :D

I'll be very interested in seeing a retrospective. It can be so hard to remember who was in the middle.

so I want to take a quick moment to thank [info]laridian for setting up the GUCCI in the first place.

You're welcome! :D

OK, I goofed somehow on formatting my name and accidentally wiped out [info]judith's! Not my intent to leave her out of the thanks, honest! ^^;;

*applauds* I would consider this a challenge very well met, you have some groundbreaking ugly here.

W00teh for green neeples!

I've been trying to stay away from my legacy as well, it's also nearing the end and I'm not quite sure I'm ready to let go yet. I wouldn't call myself a sentimental person by nature, but I just know I'm going to miss the ugly little buggers.

I'm amazed at how much affection I've gained for ugly and off-kilter Sims. Now when I see legacies that are only a desperate quest for gorgeousness, I say: *yawn* Plus, I got to meet all these great NPCs that I never would have considered otherwise.

*applause* Not just for being the first to finish, but for producing such exquisite ugly.

And in females. You have set the bar high for those to follow.

(and their names are a fitting tribute to the founder, too)

I actually chose the Gen. 10 names before Gens. 2-9, but the full names were so cumbersome I shortened them right in the game.

I was irritated that I had such a run of girls at the end but I still love their homely little selves!

I have enjoyed your posts so much. I hate to see all of this end...

Me too :( But I'll be living vicariously through the rest of you!

Awww. It's sad to see it end, but wow, the ugly! It's awesome! And I've never seen green nipples before. Well done!

I didn't see her get undressed, so when I zoomed in for a pic I said "Whoa, what are those?!"
It amuses me that the prettiest Gen. 10 girl is the offspring of 9 generations of Ish, plus an alien. Go figure.

Thanks! It's funny how attached we get to our little electron people. I'm going to miss their cute little ugly faces (but not their buggy houses - argh).
