They were adapting. If a little slowly. Liam was starting to walk, an irony that wasn’t lost on Brandon as the house was adapted around him. It’d be a year before he could be fitted with a prosthetic, and in the meantime he was living in the room downstairs, out by the garage.
Arriane was glad to see everyone, and the antics of her grandchildren were enough to amuse her. It was difficult. She tried to help Brandon as much as she could, but she knew she couldn’t understand what he was going through. He missed his job, and advising at the nearest military base wasn’t the same.
Emilia had finished her exams when Brandon was away, and it was he she went to to vent her fears. Her father didn’t have to use the wheelchair as much now, and was able to go short distances with his crutch. Without work, he had so much more free time, and he tried to fill it with his family as best he could. But boredom still plagued him.
“Why did you put that photo up there, Quent?” Emilia didn’t look away from the piano, focused on playing.
“I didn’t want to make a deal of dads leg when he came back. Bran suggested getting used to it.” Quentyn settled back into hearing his older sister play, and was surprised when spoke asked again.
“How often did you notice his leg before?”
“Not a lot. But Bran said mum and dad will have to live in his old room. Downstairs.”
“Probably. You can have their room if you want. It’s bigger, and we can turn your older one into a bathroom.”
Quentyn didn’t look pleased about that.
“Where’s Liam?” Emilia had finished her song and gone onto the next one.
“Still playing with Bran.”
“You could go on a walk with Bran tomorrow,” Emilia suggested, worried her little brother was lacking adult figures, “With Rasher.”
“I’m not getting up that early!” Emilia’s laugh was silenced instantly when the throne rang.
It was later that night when their parents came back. Angie had put the two babies to bed, and had left the siblings be, not wishing to intrude. When the car pulled up, they gathered awkwardly on the front step. It took an age for the wheelchair to get pulled out, and for their father to get in. He wore his fatigues, and in the winter air he must have been freezing.
When Arriane arrived at the hospital she felt cold. The air conditioning was working in overdrive, and none of the dust from outdoors had got in. It could have been any hospital anywhere, but it wasn’t. All the staff were in fatigues.
The officer at the desk was pretty, despite her sunburn. She looked tired though, they all did. When she announced who she was here to see, Arriane saw panic in the young woman’s eyes for a moment. Her stomach dropped.
They led her into a ward. It was simple, but Brandon had been given a room of his own. Arriane could see why. He was injured badly, terribly in fact, but when their eyes met none of that mattered.
“Hey beautiful.” His voice was hoarse, but he gave her a cheesy grin, wincing a little as he did so.
Arriane sat at the edge of his bed, carefully so as to not injure him further. She wanted to joke back at him, but the words stuck in her mouth.
“I was scared you’d die.” Her voice was a whisper.
“Yeah. Me too.” His smile faded, “Lot of people did.”
“They said a building collapsed.”
“Mhm.” It was only then she noticed how out of focus his eyes were, he was on strong painkillers.
“We can deal with this. We can adapt.” Arriane drew closer, speaking with a confidence she didn’t have.
When Brandon didn’t reply, but instead looked at her with disbelieving eyes, she lent forward to kiss him. A hand hovered over his chest, terrified of hurting him even more but he took it and they clutched tightly to one another.
As tightly as he could without a thumb. He’d lost that in the same operation that had took his leg.
SORRY IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I UPLOADED <3 I’ve had a lot of exams and I’ve not been all that well recently, but I’m back on track!

Picture Perfect Pose Pack I-VI by TheaiNyx
It. Is. Done. It. Is. Huge.
Uh, I’ve been on tumblr for 2 years today, and I figured that for this joyous occassion I would actually upload these family photo poses I’ve been making since February. These are parts 1-6 of a ”series”, I plan on making 10, and as such when you press download you’ll get an archive containing all 6 pose packs and you can choose to keep whichever ones you want. I’ve also included all the preview pictures for them so you can quickly identify the poses, as well as a .txt file with the names rather than listing them here. The names are a bit complicated because I just used short codes rather than words as names, for example cpl means couple, ff means the pose is for two women/sims with female bodies etc.
You can of course use these poses however you want, several are made for each other but with some cheats you can probably fit them together with other poses – as I did in the first preview pic. As they currently are they all snap in place so you don’t have to try to place them yourselves, just put them in the middle square of the sofa and they’ll find their spots – if you want them placed some other way you can of course do that as well. The sofa these are all made for is from Showtime, and some poses do touch the back of it so they may not fit other sofas without clipping issues, but you can probably place other sims in front of the clipping area or something to hide it.
Some poses have minor issues because I was too lazy to fix them, but you should still be able to hide them if they bother you.
The single female pose in Picture Perfect V has a middle finger with odd rotation. I forgot to fix it before I made the pack…
The sitting poses in Picture Perfect IV were made with the rigs scaled down to fit the height of a TEEN, and as such, when used with an adult body they appear to hover slightly above the seat. I had forgotten about that so I fixed the arms on a_thr_ffm_m_PP4_NYX with the adult-sized rigs and as such I believe they will probably clip through the back if you use it with a teen…
Not an issue, but pose a_cpl2_ff1_PP_NYX is ”holding” a wine glass, you can use whatever glass you want, I used this one for the picture, and placed it with OMSP.
I didn’t label the preview pics seen here, but they are in order.

“How is he?” Arriane spoke after a moment. The young Lieutenant had been her only way of contacting Brandon since the internet at the base went down.
“He’s sick. I won’t lie. You need to go to him.”
“Where is he?”
“A hospital. You’ll have to be out there for a few days. Maybe a week.”
“Is he injured that badly?” She could barely get the words out.
“The building collapsed during the night. I haven’t heard a lot more than that.”
“What about the children?”
“Surely your eldest could look after the others.”
“Yes.” She paused for a long while, “I’ll go on the next flight.
“Hey babe.”
“Is the signal okay? I know some of the others had their calls cut out.”
“I can see you. Did you get hurt?”
“Oh that... No, not really. How are the kids?”
“Bran decided to grow his hair out for the wedding. He got it relaxed the other day.”
“How come? He’s always kept it cropped.”
“Says he wants a change. But he said that when he got his ear pierced when he was 15, and that didn’t last very long.”
“Em? Quent?”
“She’s fine, still revising. And Quent is liking school a lot more now, I’m glad we moved him. But what about you? Will you be back for the wedding?”
“Yeah. I should be. I’m advising the locals here, and it’s going well enough.”
“Bran would really appreciate it, and Em wants you back before she moves out.”
“God. Yeah. Can’t believe they’re growing up so much. Hey I liked the pictures you sent. It’s nice to see everyone.”
“Good. I did try and get the kids to take a decent one, but you know what they’re like.”
“It made me laugh, I think I preferred it to a formal one. Sorry, I best go. There’s a queue for the computer you know.”
“I love you. Stay safe.”
“I always do.”
Arriane: “Can you pose nicely for your father for once.”
Emilia: “Mum chill. You know this is more realistic.”
Brandon: “She has got a point.”
Emilia: “Exactly!”
Arriane: “Thank God Quent is better behaved than you two.”
Brandon: “Oh, I’m sure he’ll continue the great family tradition of knocking someone up before you’re 21.”
Quent: “What knocked up mean?”
Emilia: “Hahahahahahahahah.”
Arriane: “I give up.”

“Em will have gone by the time you’re back.”
“It’s only a few months. I did it before.”
“When the kids were young.”
“I know what I’m doing.”
“What about Bran’s wedding?”
“I’ll be able to come back. I’m only an adviser. And I can’t back out now, they’re depending on me.”
“So long as this is the last time.”
“It’ll be the last. Now can we please get back inside?”
I’ve been collecting CC for the upcoming wedding, but it’s a big job. I’ll try and post some everyday things in between then and now <3
