Akira Cyrus - Tony Adams

Before I start writing about Aeon Adams, I guess I have to introduce his parents first.

Akira Cyrus is the daugther of Sheena Cyrus and Rae Shadowbane. She met Tony on the growing-up party of her younger brother Antonius. Read more about the beginning of the couple in the above link.

This is where we left them:



 

Tony got invited for dinner, and again, one thing led to another ...

Tony, who had been living with Richard for a few years, decided to leave him and buy a big house where we both can live ... If I was a sculptor, but then again, no ... wait a minute, that is a different story :-) [Elton John, Your Song] Anyway, Tony bought a huge house, and Akira moved in with him. She did not care that he was a criminal and involved with some dirty affairs.

They look like two cute superheroes :-) Akira is in the Sports career, this is her training suit.

Although they loved each other dearly,  Tony was a bit reluctant to the thought of marriage and having kids. Akira was content for a few years,  she was busy studying for her career and having fun.

But eventually she longed for a bigger family. And they married - another one of those Last Minute Marriages just before the first baby was born, Elaine.

Don´t ask me why Nero is dancing in the back stark naked. At least he is dancing with his fiancé Adrian (who wears the most outdated suit, maybe to compensate Nero´s frankness). Most of the guests had just left the party, when Akira gave birth to Elaine. Mom Sheena and Dad Raeburn stayed to witness the event.

Shortly afterwards, Aeon Adams was born.

 

I was happy they had the Servo/Robot Roberta around to help with the kids.





 

 Tony is a very caring father. Just ignore the Supervillain costume :-)




Akira loves her family. Her brother Antonius, and her Dad ...

 as well as her Mom and her half-brother Dorian.

When she reached Platinum permanently, she invited her family out to a Beach resort.

Elaine grew up into a real cutie.

Aaah, and Aeon ... don´t get me started on Aeon :-) Aeon gets a post on his own. As well as Elaine, but it takes time to write it.

Both kids have now moved to college, and I haven´t paid Tony and Akira a visit for a while. Even though it is kind of hard, I decided to let my Sims age and play the households legacy-like, so that at least some kids will return home. I think Elaine and her fiancé Ziggy would like to move in with her parents. They just have to finish college first. See you, then!

Lewis Riddell - Dorian Cyrus

 Lewis grew up as the very troubled son of Alice McGee Riddell. If you´ve ever played American McGee´s Alice, you will know why he was troubled :-)

Initially, I wanted to add Matt Hatter to the family, but never got around to it, so Alice became a single mom. I used a premade house which was just perfect, Hovel Haven Factory by oph3lia. It was cluttered from top to bottom, with alcohol bottles lying around, so the troubled, alcohol-addicted Mom was born.

Lewis rather indiscreminately sought the attention of older men, here he is with Ode by mouseyblue. Despite his poor social background and lack of support, he managed to make it to college, where he met Dorian Cyrus.

Dorian was the love child of Sheena Cyrus and Edward Black.


 

Sadly, Dorian was so incredibly ugly as a kid, I did not take any pictures, and he had to undergo plastic surgery later.

So, Dorian had everything Lewis never had, loving, gentle parents, a safe environment to grow up, lots of encouragement and a good education. Nevertheless, when the two met, it was love at first sight.

By that time, I learned how to redecorate dorms (boolprop dormspecifictoolsdisabled false), and their dorm received a huge makeover, turning it into a Victorian/Steampunk era university. Here are their two respective rooms:

Dorian is a real hunk :-)

All was well, until Lewis felt Dorian didn´t love him enough. If you have had such a difficult upbringing like he did, eventually the old pain resurfaces. He decided to become a Romance Sim and had various love affairs, but could not really leave Dorian, who stayed surprisingly calm in all this turmoil. Lewis was very upset when Wynona moved in, feeling very jealous and afraid to lose Dorian.

The issue was not really resolved when both finished college, and despite that they decided to stay in a place together, the House of Five Gables by katalina. It received a makeover, but is not yet finished because the two don´t have that much money yet.

Both were not really sure if they wanted to stay together. Dorian was getting a bit tired by Lewis´ indecisiveness and his capricious attitude. Nevertheless, both rolled wants to hug each other, kiss each other, make-out with each other ...

One thing led to another on one beautiful winter day. Both had come home from work, it was snowing outside, they cuddled on the sofa, when suddenly I heard this lullaby tune and thought: Oops! Someone just got pregnant unexpectedly.

It turned out it was Dorian! This was the second unplanned pregnancy in the game (first was Carlotta). If I remember it correctly, I had the Autonomous Casual Romance Adjuster not yet spawned on both occasions. Lewis did not hesitate a second and proposed to Dorian, and they threw another of their famous parties on the same day to celebrate the wedding.

Aeon Adams, son of Akira and Tony Adams, now grown-up and in college, was one of their guests. I thought he looked stunning, just like his grandfather Raeburn Shadowbane.

Here is an older pic of the Shadowbane clan, Rae in the back, Akira and her mother Sheena Cyrus in the middle, Elaine Cyrus, Akira´s daughter in the front. In between you can see Aeon, he is Elaine´s brother.

Did I mention I think Aeon looks stunning? :-) The Shadowbanes/Cyruses make very beautiful kids. No plastic surgery ever needed :-)

Other party guests, Luna Hatter, Wynona Carrion, Dorian´s father Edward. Totally love the girl´s dresses! Wynona looks a bit as if she just bit into a lemon.

Dorian pops a belly soon after ...

Ah, great choice of colors, program :-)

And when he was all alone one afternoon, the baby came. Poor Dorian, but he managed well, and at least he did not have to deal with his partner giving him the "Bleh!" afterwards, like Count Maxim with Cissy. It is a girl, and I named her Stella.

Dorian looks so proud :-)

The house is not very big, so it was a bit of a hassle to find a place for the nursery. Lewis insisted on more Steampunk style.

While going through my folders, I just stumbled over this image of Lewis mother, Alice McGee. I want to participate in a contest over at DeviantArt organized by TheSimsWorld, "Fairytales and Folklore", and picked "Alice in Wonderland" as my theme. Alice had already received a heavy make-over, because she was just too troubled. So, I sent the poor woman into rehab, got her some beautiful clothes from Zauma, and invited her to Wonderland, a community lot owned by Matt Hatter.

I took about 300 more shots, and will participate with another image, but I kinda liked this one very much:

More images from that shoot can be found here.

That´s it for today :-) Thanks for reading!
