I'm back! Took longer than I expected, but the laptop is in good shape now.

lmao oh God, poor Roxxi.

Imagine finding out that your new, twice-your-age boyfriend not only has children... He's got a son born the same year as you! And then that he has a MIL who's an ugly-tempered vampire. You're going to live in a tiny shack with them, and you're about to become a teen mother of triplets. And you still don't even know half of what you've gotten yourself into... Here's to Roxxie, for still being a good person after all that!

"Is there anything else you've kept from me?"

Ask that one again, Roxxie!

Glad to see you're back, Nat ^^

I loved the chapter as usual ^^

The looks on those kids faces in that ninth picture. Saraya clearly unhappy, Ellis nauseated, but Aria: there's a seething rage there that doesn't belong on any child's face. But who could blame her, listening to all that bovine cack? Tate missed his calling in life, he should have been an actor! He just lives the part of a long suffering, patient and devoted father, doesn't he?

If I'd been any of those kids I'd have lost it at: "I want this to be a happy household again, ok?".

WHAT? WHEN WAS THAT? DID I POP OUT FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND MISS IT? WHEN, YOU SUPPURATING PUSTULE OF A MAN?

But, oh Ellis! You dropped the ball that time I'm afraid. I realise you were desperately trying not to hurl, but maybe later you could have had a quiet word with Roxxi. Something along the lines of: "You do realise what a fetid tuft of arse hair you are marrying, don't you?".

(Ah, a good rant - I needed that).

Glad you're back. Nat. Great post, as ever.

It's never too late! I mean, he does know someone who may help him set up a career in... uh, acting.

Thanks guys

Well of course. He hadn't fully tied down Roxxi at that point - though carrying the babies certainly helped cement it for her. Trap her with the pregnancy, now she feels she can't change her mind. Perfect time to drop all those bombshells.

That might be the best description of Tate yet

Poor Ellis is well and truly ground down at this point. He feels completely stuck as well. At 18 he could technically leave himself, but he wouldn't abandon the girls. He doesn't have the strength to try fighting for them himself. After all, who would believe him? The same applies to telling Roxxi the truth. I imagine it remains one of his biggest regrets.

LOL does anyone want to see that? Raise your hand if you do.

I want to frame this and hang it on my wall. Marry me.



*raises hand*

*Starts to raise hand*


Naked Tate... Do I really want that mental image? Again?

Oh, and those poor "co-stars"...Would I really to see anybody inflict THAT on them?

Never mind... They probably have clauses in their contract to preclude torture scenes.

*puts hand back down*

Any of you who seriously want to, picturing you like this:





Also check this out, I commissioned again:

I never gave you permission to publicly post pictures of me.

Oof, what to say about this one? I'm sorry the execution isn't perfect. It wasn't easy. You probably shouldn't read it in company, either.

Good chapter, Nat :D

Oh, poor Ellis, he sure didn't need/deserve that
Damn aliens and their experiments

At least, we know Charon will be a good kid.
And things will get better bit by bit later for Ellis and his sisters even if for now, it don't look like so ^^

Ha ha ha, if only Brie knew she'll be with Tate years later, maybe she wouldn't have acted the way she did XD

Literally. That will, in the most literal sense, be her one day. She'll be walking around full of multiple babies from the man whose face she finds so nauseating. What was she even thinking when she...

And well... I was wrong. Roxxie didn't give birth during the reception. Because there was none.

It was a great chapter, Nat.

Maybe he should talk to Krypton and see if he knows if the aliens would like their kid back.
I mean . . . in space . . .
You can't get any farther from Tate!

Great update Nat .

You know what tailors say about weddings and funerals? Same thing - different suit. And any wedding with Tate as groom was going to have much the same emotional effect as a funeral on nearly everybody invited - and unfortunate enough not to have an excuse to give it a miss. It must have been a positive relief to everybody (except for Roxxi) when she had to be rushed to hospital. Because if the service was a puke-fest, think what it would be like after everybody had been stuffing their faces and getting rat-assed. It doesn't bear thinking about! Still, a little disappointing it didn't degenerate into a drunken brawl, because they're always fun. I'm sure Aria would have enjoyed the opportunity to fetch Tate a quick kick in the gonads when he was down. But that's just me being a sentimental old fool.

On a brighter note there was the advent of a certain butt baby we have all come to love.

I sometimes think it would have been fun if Tate had been abducted and impregnated by aliens - fun for everybody who got to watch him give birth rectally at any rate! But it's a fate I wouldn't wish on any butt baby.


And now, rather later than promised, time for an update from me. I thought this one would be easy compared with the previous one. I was wrong!

The Scumthorpe Inheritance: Chapter 16 "Flaming Thursday"

It's a good chapter, Elynda :D

Ooh, it seem these fires are from a surnatural origin if the inhabitants of the castle have something to do with it ?

Thank's Linesa.

And yes, they are indeed supernatural: the aftermath, or the 'backwash' if you will, of Aubrey's recent conjuring. Well, all those fire elementals had to go somewhere.

You're welcome, Elynda ^^

Ooh, I see :o

Good thing the firefighters managed to put these fires out ^^

Thanks, all. You give me life.


The aliens' timing could definitely have been a lot better! But he raised a good son in Charon.



I'm sure Brie herself never could've anticipated that being her future. I was glad to get the chance to redo this wedding with Roxxi's family there, given that they didn't even exist in my head the first time around. But since I've developed Roxxi and her story more, I know now all the reasons behind why things happened the way they did.

The story of how Brie became so bitter and hypocritical is yet to be fully explained. But one day, she'll tell it.

Very good point!

Can't disagree there! A reception might've been a fun disaster, what with Roxxi's parents talking a load of bollocks about their ~brand new son~ (who's literally only a year or two younger than them - yes, amazingly Tate is only 41 here), Tate and likely Roxxi too sneaking looks at that one guest's ample cleavage (thanks @BL00DIEDHELL for her sim!) and Ellis passing a green BM. And who knows what Olivia would've done.

Y'know, she still hasn't managed to do that. Something that ought to be rectified.

Fun in a trainwreck kind of a way - utterly terrible, but impossible to look away. Still, considering Bryan's triplets, too much trauma might've already been inflicted on alien youth.

Anyway, your update was good too. Some great staging, and I definitely see the improvement in graphics.

Look what you've done, Aubrey! As if resurrecting an evil woman wasn't bad enough.

Oh of course! I totally forgot about them! Goddamn son.

Damn it Aubrey! :P



A cleavage you could ski down, one might say.

Fun fact: that lady is brand spanking new, made for that post specifically so she's still pretty underdeveloped, but I imagine she's a fellow pornstar.

Shame Tate didn't know Abraxas at this point, he could've completed the set.



Imagine if it'd been videoed.

Imagine being one of those triplets and watching your birth.
