The following post is just because I love Bridgeport and can't stop taking pictures in it. 😋

An aerial view of Bridgeport on a rainy day.

The rain is gone so here's a look at Randy Kingston's house, up on the hill, with the city of Bridgeport as background.

This is the view from the rooftop of the Kingston's house, if it had a rooftop, lol.

Bridgeport in the background again, but now viewed from the pool area.

The front of the house where the Kingstons have lived for generations, ever since young Roderick married Tiara and started their extended family. Lot is amazing Rhodes Holiday Villa, by Aspen Creations (MTS).

Another view of the courtyard, with the trailer house and the bar, behind which is the jacuzzi.

Pool area, with Bridgeport in the back, but at sunset.

*End of the Bridgeport spam. 😉

ALF - Squad Headcanons

Chapter 2.2: Families

The ALF - Family Squad, back at it again with some nice(?) Headcanons about the Family of the infamous Jay Kingston! (Seriously though, nice may not be the best word to describe what you’re about to read. We always talk about loving Angst, so know we’ll unleash it. Enjoy - or maybe don’t).

(A quick Disclaimer: In our Headcanons Jay’s autistic (He has Aspergers). We aren’t, so all of our knowledge is from the internet or stuff we may have heard about the topic. Please, correct us if anything is wrong or some of Jay’s characteristics are not fitting for someone with Autism, so we can change it and learn some interesting things along the way)

To be honest, we don’t have much on Jay’s Family

His Parents died when he was still a little kid (about 9 years old)

It was a car accident

Jay was sitting in the back of the car when they crashed

Their names were Josephine and Christopher

Jay has some memories of them, but overall it’s very blurry

Who he remembers tho, is his Brother

Adam

He talks a lot about him, actually

Adam, who raised him after their parents died

Adam, who was still a teenager when he lost his Parents, leaving him to take care of his autistic little brother

Adam, who still tried so hard

Adam, who after realizing how the meat industry treats most animals, immediately joined their local ALF Group and before that, already went on rescue missions to free animals from Torture and Mass Production

(They took care of the animals together after that, getting them back on their feet, err....paws)

Adam, who teached him about the importance of ALF’s belief

Adam, who always called him ‘Jay’ when he was younger instead of his real name because little Jay’s favourite Animals were Bluejays

Adam, who died when Jay was about 16

Ironically, it was in a car accident too

Unironically, it was Jay’s fault

Basically, Adam was on a mission for the ALF, when Jay was on the brink of a meltdown and called him

 Adam was distracted by Jay freaking out over the phone and managed to hit a tree in the worst possible way

Jay heard how Adam died, because the line didn’t die during the car crash

He screamed Adam’s name, clutching the phone in his hand, but didn’t get an answer, only pained moans

Later on Jay blamed himself for not having called an ambulance, or the police, or anyone really, just because he couldn’t bring himself to hang up

He was unable to move, paralyzed by what was happening

Instead, he listened to his brother taking in his last, shuddering breath, before leaving him alone in this world

Because of him and his stupid ticks and his worries about nothing

He tries to surpress his symptoms after that, because he doesn’t wanna be a burden

But his issues (especially after Adam’s death) are material for another post

What’s for sure tho, is that Jay didn’t go to Adam’s funeral because he felt so guilty. Which leads to a lot of pent-up anger and guilt, because he didn’t get to say goodbye, see Adam one last time

And he can’t stand his real name anymore, because he rather be called Jay and think back to days where his brother ruffled his hair or carried him around on his shoulders, then Adam’s voice coming through the phone, screaming his real name in surprise and pain and anger (at least in Jay’s ears)

And later in a whisper, voice broken and seemingly far away, begging for Jay to do something, anything

But he didn’t

There was a time where Jay had a family

Then he only had a brother

Now, he has no one

And those were (a few of) our ideas about Jay’s Family. If you got any questions, just ask and if you wanna contribute with own headcanons, feel free to do so.

What do you think is Jay’s real name btw? Got any ideas?

How do you feel about the Angst? Next will be Red and Silver’s Family, so prepare for more.

Until next time!

Shortly after Randy and Elspeth moved in together, their baby was born. It was a boy! They named him Ryan, following the Kingston family tradition, started by Roderick, of giving all male children names that start with an R.

As a bonus, l'm including this photo of Josephine, (one of Randy's daughters), and her husband Jett Atkins, with their little baby Jessica. I took this photo while testing the mod Sims Can Hand Over Babies by The Sweet Simmer, which I love because the interactions are so cute! 😊💗

Roderick and Suzy, living the high life at their penthouse. At that time Roderick had covered his gray hair, so it looks slightly darker. Suzy had grown hers long and for some reason her skintone wasn't the original one, I've since changed them both. 😊

Arriving at the supermarket, a deluge poured down. And the sun had just come out, that's how fickle the weather in Bridgeport is. 🙄

Just great. First all that snow, and now this.

Going back home. Looks like the visit to great-grandma Lala will have to be some other time.

Before I start posting about my current Sims 3 game, I want to tell you a little bit more about Roderick, since the Bridgeport save where he lives is one of the saves I play with on a daily basis. So here is, in broad outline, Roderick Kingston's profile:

RODERICK KINGSTON

Age: Elder. Traits: Flirty, star quality, great kisser, charismatc and ambitious.

Main Skills: Charisma, writing, athletic and cooking. Of course, as a musician, he knows how to play bass, piano and drums.

Career: He used to be a bass player in a band, but now that he's a retired, he decided to start a career as a Photographer. He's currently at Level 4, Social Network Profile Photographer. He still continues to play music but only as a hobby.

Lifetime Wish: He has already fulfilled a few, but currently he dreams of becoming a Blog Artist. - Reach Level 10 of Social Networking - Create a Five Star Blog.

Status: Married to Suzy Strummer. Has three children, all of them adults now, from his previous marriage to Tiara Angelista. Their names are Randy, Melissa and Bonnie, they are all married with children, we will meet them in due course.

Zodiac Sign: Scorpio.

Roderick, or "Roddy", as his friends call him is very sociable and outgoing. As a typical Bridgeport citizen, he loves bars, clubs and nightlife in general, but there is this quiet part of him that likes to read, write, cook and even paint. He really enjoys home and family life. 💖

*Note that he spends most of his life wearing a tuxedo, he chooses it autonomously, and he doesn't even have the Proper trait, lol.

Although the day wasn't very good, the night was because Randy and Elspeth went out together and had a great time at the Prosper Room. He took the opportunity to propose to her.

Elspeth said yes, though she's not quite sure they're compatible. I mean, Randy is an Angler so he loves the outdoors, nature and water; Elspeth hates the outdoors, she's hydrophobic and a vegetarian. Other than that they get along pretty well, and think it's worth a shot for their little Ryan.
