Ooooh good thread idea.
Submitted by Lothere on Mon, 12/22/2008 - 20:07.Ooooh good thread idea. MERRY CHRISTMAS!! With much leaping and candy! And KISS-ing! And giant screenshot desktop wallpapers with non-period ponsettias! Your choice of sad Hetty or no Hetty at all.
And also some fun images that never happened, but we can dream...
Nothelm Christmas 2008: Hetty smilesNothelm Christmas 2008Nothelm Christmas 2008: Finn wishes for peace on earthNothelm Christmas 2008: That's THE RULE!Nothelm Christmas 2008: KISS-ing! During AD-vent!
Yay, pretty Nothelm
Submitted by Van on Mon, 12/22/2008 - 20:53.Yay, pretty Nothelm Christmas wallpapers! And Finn and Gwynn's first (albeit non-canon) kiss!
Hey, are they going to be mistletoe buddies this year, by any chance?
How do you get your sims of different heights to look like they're actually kissing? Just playing with camera angles? I can never seem to cover up the fact that mine are actually just puckering their lips at the air between them...
cool backgrounds.

Just camera angles, sadly.
Submitted by Lothere on Tue, 12/23/2008 - 05:49.Just camera angles, sadly. Estrid and K are almost exactly the same height so I finally got some real kissing action there. I don't know what I'm going to do when Gwynn and Finn start making out for real.
Finn is going to get some kissing in during this Advent season, but I'm not telling who with.
Oooh...Margaret?Gross. Connie

Merry Christmas (Eve) everyone! And if you don't celebrate Christmas you still probably get off work/school so happy that!
Can't wait for Christmas at Nothelm. I'm sure that whatever happens it'll be far more exciting than my Christmas, haha. Love those pictures, too.

I almost took a picture of Cedric & Cubby beneath the mistletoe, but Mr. Lothere wanted dinner just then. D'oh!
Nooooooooooooooooooooo! Then
Submitted by Tiffany on Wed, 12/24/2008 - 12:23.Nooooooooooooooooooooo! Then who will Anne have? Diana?
We do not need Connie-Gwynn love going on. Cearball would kill himself.

Submitted by Van on Wed, 12/24/2008 - 13:40.Heheheh, I kind of just imagined Finn getting smooched, not actually being a willing participant...
Poor Cubby though. Who knows? Maybe he'll smooch Cedric, who will be slightly more willing
Will Cedric have any
Submitted by Lothere on Wed, 12/24/2008 - 13:45.Will Cedric have any mistletoe opportunities in his future? I wonder if Sigefrith (or should I say Eadie) allows mistletoe in the castle. Maybe not during AD-vent. Eadie should really get Father Matthew to come rule over her parish and let Alred get someone a little more fun.
But Cedric and Cubby do sleep alone together in the same room. In separate beds, unlike the girls, but still. The opportunities are infinite.
If anyone would have been
Submitted by Tiffany on Wed, 12/24/2008 - 14:20.If anyone would have been adventurous, I'd think it would have been Matilda.
Adventurous with other women
Submitted by Lothere on Wed, 12/24/2008 - 14:36.Adventurous with other women you mean? (Lately all our threads are turning into discussions of homosexual activity for some reason.)
Yeah. I've noticed that.
Submitted by Tiffany on Wed, 12/24/2008 - 14:51.Yeah.
I've noticed that.
But, yes, I meant women. Can't you see Naughty Tillie with Alred and some other woman?
Ohhhh, threesomes!
Alred would never. Not
Submitted by Lothere on Wed, 12/24/2008 - 14:56.Alred would never. Not saying Matilda would, but that would break Alred's heart. I don't think Matilda would, though, anyway. Matilda never liked women much, in any situation or position.
What about Maud? I wonder.
Alred is the perfect
Submitted by Tiffany on Wed, 12/24/2008 - 15:03.Alred is the perfect man!
He'd be hurt with another man or woman!
Yeah, Matilda always liked men...
But how would it break his heart?
The same way her
Submitted by Lothere on Wed, 12/24/2008 - 15:07.The same way her relationship with Leof broke his heart. Alred wouldn't have wanted to have sex with any other person (man or woman) so the hypothetical threesome clearly would not have been his idea. And if it had been Matilda's... breakage.

Submitted by Tiffany on Wed, 12/24/2008 - 15:41.Happy Holidays everyone!
Submitted by Nimue on Wed, 12/24/2008 - 19:51.Happy Holidays everyone! This whole year reading (comments included) has been a wonderful joy!
Right. As for Cedric, well...I suppose I would not horribly mind his being gay but...he seems to like girls in my mind. Ladies, I have a sneaking suspicion that when he grows up we will want him to be straight! Or again, that may just be me. Still, it is debatable if he will be hot in a habit or not...
And Hetty, poor dove. Such a shame too, in one of those pictures she looks so pretty when she smiles. And she was looking in Alred's direction in that one too! Which could be secret-awesome foreshadowing that maybe, just maybe, things could start getting better between them. And if not them, then between her and a Cedric Sr...I mean, Leofric.
The smiling Hetty picture
Submitted by Van on Thu, 12/25/2008 - 01:41.The smiling Hetty picture was awesome in many ways, with Alred and Hetty smiling at each other, Finn's hand reaching under Connie's arm and seemingly brushing against Gwynn's, and Cubby and Cedric beaming at each other
I don't think Cedric is gay though. Maybe bisexual, but I think he prefers women. He might just make an exception for Cubby
If Connie and Gwynn hadn't
Submitted by Lothere on Thu, 12/25/2008 - 05:24.If Connie and Gwynn hadn't been staring off into opposite sunsets, that smiling Hetty picture would have been THE picture. (My current desktop wallpaper, alas, is the kids-only one due to Poor Hetty.) Hetty is so beautiful when she smiles, and Alred is grinning away at her. Meanwhile, Finn is definitely taking advantage of his cousinship with Connie to almost touch Gwynn's arm, and Conrad is staring fondly at Margaret (which seems to be giving Margaret pause), and Cubby and Cedric are cuuuute together even if they are just best friends.
Oooh darnit why didn't I put Baldwin in that shot? Shows you just what a forgettable fellow he is, I suppose.
Nimue, you are far gone if you think of the monumental personage of Leofric as "Cedric Sr."
FWIW I too think Cedric is straight. Cubby is the one I am mystified about.
Cubby is straight as a

There. It's settled.

Submitted by Lothere on Fri, 12/26/2008 - 06:37.Do you have siblings by chance Tiffany? That comment sounds like an exasperated Mom: "No one is getting the last cupcake. There. That's settled."
Maybe Cubby likes boys AND girls! Now everybody gets a cupcake!
Nope, I'm an only
Submitted by Tiffany on Fri, 12/26/2008 - 09:00.Nope, I'm an only child...technically.
I'm my mom's only kid, but my dad has 6.
And they were never married...
So, yeah, I'm illegitimate.
(OhmygoshgaspI'msosorryforyou!)
Whatever though. I've come to terms with my existence. Or my illegitimacy.
Which is why I wonder how Leia will develop.
But anyway...
My friends fight a lot and stuff, so I tend to be a referee. Maybe that's just my inner ref coming out?

I'm a bastard child myself,
Submitted by Cassie on Fri, 12/26/2008 - 11:51.I'm a bastard child myself, Tiffany! My parents did marry (when I was about 4 months old and my brother was about 3 and a half) but I was born out of wedlock! (Something I'm fine with, especially since my relationship with my dad is very...not good. To put it mildly.) My best friend was born out of wedlock, too - her parents were kinda hippies and just didn't bother getting around to it for awhile, I think. WIN.

Submitted by Sonia on Sun, 12/28/2008 - 12:28.I'm the oldest of 11 children, although only 8 of us survived. I'm a little like Lylaine, a foster kid, living with my aunt and uncle until they both died. I have no inclination to return to my blood family as they are a nasty piece of work (shall say no more there). Besides, I've 'found' my family, in my hubby.

I think it has been fixed now, though deleting comments on non-chapters still doesn't work. That will take a wee bit more effort, and I have a chapter to write, dangit.
As long as I had an excuse to update the site, I also uploaded a picture of Colburga's mom, the famous Baroness, so you can console yourself by looking at her if you like.

I think I will celebrate with you, Sofie. I was up before 4 AM this morning... there's no way I'll still be awake at midnight my time. Boring, I know.
You were up before 4 AM??
Submitted by Cassie on Wed, 12/31/2008 - 11:48.You were up before 4 AM?? I know you said you were a morning person, but DAMN. Girl, that is EARLY.
In that case, I certainly wouldn't be able to stay up until midnight either. That does sound like a pretty cool schedule, though, I must admit. I always liked being up to watch the sun rise.

There's something about
Submitted by Lothere on Wed, 12/31/2008 - 12:18.There's something about making coffee in the almost-dark, watching the daily fog fade... even about walking to work before the sun rises. One of the many reasons why I don't like summer is being forced to share my morning with light and all that brings -- crows and seagulls, construction crews, and junkies shambling through the streets. The night belongs to all the ordinary people who go to bed late, but the morning is mine.
The one advantage to early summer sunrises is the walk past all the churches on Quadra and seeing the sun shine in through one stained glass window and out another. But that's only for a couple weeks on either side of the summer solstice. Then I just want it to be autumn again.
That is the complete

Submitted by Sonia on Wed, 12/31/2008 - 16:33.Happy New Year folks, hope this year will be a memorable one for all of us. Who knows what's around the corner.... maybe some nice surprises or such.
That schedule does sound
Submitted by Cassie on Wed, 12/31/2008 - 16:58.That schedule does sound awfully nice when you put it like that. I love having the feeling that the whole world is sleeping except for me while watching the sky get light. Something I used to do quite often back when I was an insomniac.
Happy New Year, everyone! May it bring wonderful things for all of you. For me, it's the end of my last full year as a teenager. Now THAT is really something to celebrate.

Submitted by Lothere on Wed, 12/31/2008 - 18:42.New Year's Eve is one of those days where I think it would be really cool to live in NYC. I don't know, maybe it's just the way network TV shows it, but it seems like the epicenter of where the new year actually happens -- as if Australia and Europe and all the rest of the world was just trying to be interesting by having their little parties before, but the new year doesn't ACTUALLY start till that ball drops. (Probably my childhood impressions were aided by the fact that I grew up in the eastern time zone. If I had lived on the west coast I might have figured out that there was something fishy going on there. )
