☆Color My World☆ Rainbowcy (Update 5/7)

Haha, careful there. Purity isn't worth that much of a headache (even if she causes them easily enough!) :lol:

I'm working on the next chapter now (1/3 of the way done, trying to stay ahead), and I can definitely say that it's an interesting one :wink: There's an upsetting revelation for one character, a very sudden turn of events, and an ending that is something I think no one is expecting. It'll be fun :blush:

Eden has thankfully learned from his experiences how to handle Purity and her family :lol: And you can believe there will be more to the Waters family story. One of those side stories I want to do even involves them. It'll be just a one chapter thing if (when?) I get around to doing it, but I think it should be very insightful and deep. It's one that has to wait until the end of the generation anyway though. Otherwise, it would generate massive spoilers.

I was trying to make sure that Amaranth, Allium, and Frost all remained potential romantic options for Ethereal, but now that it's gotten to the point where the main focus will be on the romance I have to say that he has always meant to be that one male friend who remains a friend. He's the one where the feelings have been and will always be platonic and sibling-like, even if there's some occasional joking around (probably the only case you'll see of that is the next chapter). So, we do definitely get to see him again next chapter :lol: It's not for long, but he gets more screen time than three of the six main friends at least :blush: That's not to say anything with him is going to be devoid of romance though. He and a certain someone will be causing a little stress sometime down the line :smirk:

Yeah, I really like Cocoa :blush: She's got the same position as Sap at the moment. Likeable and totally decent in her own right, but she does stand in the way of the main ship. (Other people are picking up your ship name of Christmas, BTW.) I tried to show little hints here and there that there was a slight connection between her and Amaranth; majorly, Amaranth being closer to her than everyone else since they live in the city and Amaranth going along with Cocoa's idea of chewing on the hay at the loft sleepover.

It's fun to say too :smile:

That is true about the color options isn't it! :lol: I didn't even think about that :hushed: I've stuck with the beginning green since it's what my eyes are used to. The white seems too glaring and empty to me.

That's good then, haha :smiley:

Well, that I often go for the unexpected should be expected by now, so that kind of reveal shouldn't be to big :lol: I would love to see what you think it might be though.
I'm actually hoping I can get to it somewhat soon. There is actually one short story I want to do for Ellothiel, although it's not so much about her. It mainly consists of her talking to someone, so it should be easy to get done as long as I stop accidentally crashing the game :expressionless: After that, the ones for the Waters is next on my list. It'll be a bit more complicated as it'll start back when Glacier and Shell met, but I should have enough time between now and the end of the generation to get everything I need. I mean, I'm already working on making the houses and having the babies for Gen Two :lol: I think I'll be able to squeeze it in.

Who Frost is involved with may or may not be surprising. I've left a few very tiny hints here and there like I did with Amaranth and Cocoa. His part won't be for a little while though, and we'll see it more from a different perspective than from his.

Haha :blush: Forum? Do you mean the blog, or Simpletons?
Yeah, it has gotten rather quiet around here. Readership seems to be about the same as TGO. Honestly, I don't wander about too much in this section so I'm not sure if it's just this thread that's slowed or if the whole place has gone a little less active since some people have moved to TS4.

I won't tell a soul :wink:
The white does feel more "clean", but it's also too empty. I like how they made the angles and lines at the top different though instead of just recoloring the green design to white.

It's the most annoying thing, and I can't figure out why it crashes each time I make a change to the household. I even created a whole new world and placed down a fresh lot, but it didn't change anything. I might have to try it with a blank household and then refill it with everyone. If that doesn't work, I'm just gonna have to deal with it unless I want to rebuild the house from scratch :confused:

Ah, okay.
Simpletons is a forum @itsjulie introduced me to when I became a regular commenter on her Through Colour Blind Eyes blog. It's super quiet and small. Only a few of us comment with any sort of regularity, but it's fun :blush:
I think Sims 3 stories will be around for a while still, thankfully. It's much more conducive to telling stories (especially legacies), and the overall distaste for Sims 4 for so many seems to be encouraging people to stay with 3. I plan to keep telling stories for as long as I can anyway despite what happens :blush: I even have this silly/amusing little dream that if I can make myself relatively big as an author I can then draw enough traffic to the website I would set up by posting Sims stuff. I would keep writing normal stuff of course, but to be able to make decent money making things like TGO and CMW would be the best :lol:

Wait, you're working on what with gen who now!? O_O

Missed this part.
Yup, I'm already working on Gen Two :blush: Unlike Gen One, a lot of the houses I want to use have to be built from scratch. Since house building generally isn't my favorite thing and I'm slow at it, I'm working on it now so I have lots of time. It also makes sense to have the Sims living in that house on the lot, so I'm putting together the pairs that will end up together and letting them have their babies. It's mostly because I just can't wait to see all the babies, but getting everything set up early will help the transition to the next gen go smoother. Otherwise, there will be a long wait instead of like 2 weeks (the little break I'm going to give myself).
Not to tease, but I'm already totally obsessed with the next heir :blush:

It is frustrating work sometimes, but I think it'll definitely be worth it. Perhaps I'll even give it a try over this next week before Easter wipes me out. Of course I have to work then :tired_face:

I know the feeling. I have much in Sims, other writing, and in real life I have yet to follow through on because of distractions, tiredness, and general laziness :sweat_smile: (If you ever decide to give FF XIV ARR a try, let me know. Would always love another person to play with :smiley: )
Yeah, a good computer is crucial. If the tools don't work well, the result will be less than stellar. I don't know how I ever survived without my Alienware. Best of luck to you with getting everything set up and eventually giving a challenge or two a try. You've got a guaranteed reader in me :blush:

Frost time indeed :blush: He got more screen time than Am and the Sun combo, even if it was still only two pictures :lol: He'll be around some next time too, for next chapter is homecoming! I've been trying to work on it all weekend, but the amount of teen Sims I'm adding to the household to make sure the gym doesn't look like a total wasteland is giving me more crashing problems. Ah well.
Let's just say they both flipped to a new page to continue writing and the rest is filled with their genius works :smiley:

Well, no, technically Sap still had her first "kiss"- first person besides Eden (thus "non-related") to kiss her anyway :lol: After her 11th birthday at the horse stables, remember? :wink: Even though that's still not a kiss kiss. The Christmas kiss doesn't technically count either because it was done under the mistletoe and was half-cheek.

Glad you think what Meadow and Allium did was realistic. With stuff like that, I'm never entirely sure until I release the chapter and someone tells me otherwise if I'm pushing things a bit too far or too fast. It made perfect sense in my head though. Meadow was already struggling with the fact that feelings were beginning to grow for Allium out of nowhere, and then when she's desperate for relief when her heart is hurting she gets the chance to "redo" in a much better way what Sap wrongly took from her.
I have sympathy for Sap too. I've steadily got a stronger headcanon (although would it just be canon since I'm the author? :lol: ) growing for him. He, Bud, and Pistachio are a set of triplets, and there's almost always complications when triplets are born. I imagine that Sap was the lucky one that came out as strong as possible while Bud and Pistachio were really weak and had to spend a lot of time in the hospital. It took them a long time to catch up developmentally, which is why Mr. and Mrs. Spring told Sap that he had to be their protector both because he was the oldest and the strongest of the three. Adding onto that, because there's that sense of responsibility and a sort of guilt (he was born strong because he "stole" their health for himself) he doesn't pressure his sisters to take on pretty much any of the expectations his parents have. He takes them all himself because he feels like he has to, which is why I mentioned this chapter about Sap becoming more of a participant in his father's businesses. That pretty much means his parents' words are law to him. Even if he doesn't believe in something (like that he has to be with someone green or that he should have a relationship in Meadow), he simply can't toss away their influence since it's too important to him to be what they want him to be. Like you said though, this whole situation was a crucial eye-opener for him that he needs to sort some things out unless he wants to continue hurting himself and the others around him.
You shall see :smiley:

Haha, careful. Too much mutiny against the laws of reason and canon will result in a delay in desired scenes and/or potential relationships :naughty:

Hopefully homecoming will be fun :lol: I haven't had any strong ideas of what to do with the dance, so I'm just making it up as I go along. It might be a shorter one, but hopefully it should come out decent.

Yeah, there was no way Ethereal was going to escape the dance without some interference from her mortal enemy :naughty:
I figured it was about time to add "prissy" in there somewhere for the lols :lol:

I'm glad you're enjoying Allium's appearances :lol: You sure he's not putting any holes in your ship yet? :smirk: I've already got someone else who's converted :lol:
I'm even more glad that Frost is going up your list :blush: I know sometimes people only focus on the romantic interests, but the straight up friends need some love too :smiley: There'll be more with Frost and Meadow in the future.
What I like most about Eden and Allium is Eden's attitude change. Before Meadow really got into pursuing a relationship, he was all "Yeah! Definitely go for it!" Now he's turned into the typical protective big brother standing on the porch with a shotgun when Allium comes and goes :lol:

Thanks :blush: Getting the shots for it was tricky, because it was all about perspective, perspective, perspective. If you look at it from another view it seems like the lamest homecoming ever. And this was with the household full of teenagers too. There was like twenty of them (including the normal group) :astonished:
