Not So Charmed

I'll be writing a story based on the Charm family, because I've got a real fascination with them. Hopefully everything goes okay with this, but Chapter 1 should be up soon!

The story starts with Darrel, Emilia, and their three kids already living in another house in Glimmerbrook - but the expectations the family has weigh heavy on everyone. Minerva, the matriarch, is determined to preserve tradition and bloodline.

Sounds like half the family is having a tough time! What a great chapter!

I love how Darrel is so supportive of Maranda, even though she wasn't born a spellcaster. That would have to be a big bummer. Rhea sounds like a good friend. Chanel probably doesn't feel very special.

I really wonder what else was bothering Emilia? Even Rhea could taste it in the macaroni. (I love how perceptive she is!)

Aw, poor Gemma! I hope she doesn't feel too discouraged - I know she can master it if she puts her mind to it!
This isn't really related, but I thought I'd share some of my Charm kids.

They're the daughters of Gemma Charm and one of my sims, Turner Poole.

I feel so bad for Emilia. I have a relative who's kinda like Minerva, always subtly putting people down. "How often do you bring the kids here? Some of the crystals are overpriced," definitely means "You have no idea what you're doing. Why don't you do things my way?" That sort of thing just destroys your confidence.

Emilia really seems to like the sunshine. It's a shame that it's always so rainy in Glimmerbrook. Maybe Emilia could do with a family vacation to Sulani or Selvadorada? If she and Darrel can afford it, that is.
