Because of you, I've learned a new word! Compersion! Also, don't recall if I ever saw it or if my memory fell out but what are they in a group for?
Nice! I’m always happy to learn a new word, so that’s good news to me. :) The group is a mental health/illness peer support group.

THANK YOU! :D
san-myshuno-dreamin replied to your photo “I’m sorry, friend. :P”
The king sought guidance from the Watcher? hehe
Haha! Perhaps. I was also thinking he might be looking up and wondering why they’re all in this weird set location again. That moment every simmer has (or is it just me?) where they start to wonder if they’re becoming self-aware.

Oops I got mixed up about who Ripp's night was being shared with. My bad.
No worries. :) I suspect you weren’t the only one, just the only one who admitted it. I was hoping to play with expectations there a little.
ejsims replied to your photo “(part ten) Don’t do this, she thought, but then resisted. No, that...”
Sounds like they really need to bring Johnny into this conversation.
No doubt. *nods* I probably won’t rehash it, but rest assured that will happen eventually.

Guilty as charged. :P In the both the chips and the not wanting to share my chips. And also the sulking, I’ll admit, though I’ve been getting much better at that over the years.

Ripp appreciates your sympathy.

Hmm, from that last line it sounds like the one he really needs to talk to is asleep upstairs.
We mention this above, but I was thinking that the fact that he said this line to her would reveal the truth about whose night it was supposed to be, but I don’t think it really came through clearly until the next post. *shrugs* Oh well.

Ohohohoho! *insert surprised Chris Pratt GIF here*
Though I do think you figured out whose night it was, right? :P I like this reaction. A lot. :)

Not like Ripp to be pissy, but he's also dealing with Dad feelings right now.
Ripp can definitely have his moody moments. The Dad feelings bring out the defensiveness, for sure. Getting into that head space probably takes him back to a time when that was his only recourse.

Looks like this is going to take more than just an apology. Maybe something they'll have to journal out and talk about in group.
Yes, perhaps. Definitely some communication is in order. :)

Thank you for your reactions. :)
vladora-sims replied to your photo “(part eight) “Well that was nice,” she said. “Unexpected.” ...”
I love the creative discretion shots : )
Thanks! It’s a lot of fun to figure out those shots, haha! I realized after I had done these that she was getting into her pjs instead, so I could have gone with the tank instead of the bra, but there’s no way I was re-doing it. :P

*gets out my simlish dictionary*
I appreciate your dedication. haha. Maybe I should provide a translation?

Thank you! I’m glad you think so. :)

Disappointed Ripp is disappointed. Poor baby.
I’ll answer these together. Thank you for your reactions. :)

Yes, he certainly can. And he does. ;)
pixelcurious replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”
His facial expressions are PERFECT.
Thank you so much, Pixel! :D I couldn’t ask for a nicer compliment than that.
holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part six) After checking in on the rest of the children, Ripp...”
Damn! My hopes have been shattered.
Next time, Holley. Maybe next time. *makes note to deliver at a later date perhaps* ;)
holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part five) “Alright, let’s get you ready for bed,” she said,...”
...and then Ripp walks in.
Pretty obvious, right? :P
esotheria-sims replied to your photoset “(part four) “Hey Lil, that doesn’t look like homework to me.” “This...”
The 'your other father will string me up' line made me chuckle. Gotta love Ripp.
I’m glad you like that line. :) I imagine he’s right. Johnny probably wouldn’t approve of Ripp’s rule breaking, haha. He may be a tad too lawfully good?
furryjackal replied to your photoset “(part four) “Hey Lil, that doesn’t look like homework to me.” “This...”
Hahaha I love when Sims play Sims! Even mine do too.
Yeah, it’s funny, for sure. :)

It was Buzz. I actually added a little link there for a refresher, because I’m sure people have forgotten. It’s been a while.
holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part one) “Aww, look. Isn’t he sweet?” “Yeah, and the baby’s pretty...”
I love their cute little house.
Thanks. :) I love that lot, too. I really ought to get them a bigger one, because they don’t really fit there anymore, but I’m so attached!
holleyberry replied to your photo “(part three) “Night night, little bean. How about you don’t come...”
They sure are. :) Good mommies are too! ;)

Should have scrolled down a bit more
holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part one) “Aww, look. Isn’t he sweet?” “Yeah, and the baby’s pretty...”
I'm hoping a reblog means an update soon!
I’m glad you were so enthusiastic about the update. It made me smile. :)
............................................................................................................................
And one anon ask that goes with this topic, too...
i don't get it, why did ripp get offened? why do they have a sleeping schedule (erm,,, is it a sleeping or a sex schedule?)? i have been scrolling your tumblr for a while but couldn't find anything :C
JRO have six children and four relationships to balance. There's most likely going to be some scheduling involved. Some might leave things to chance and inclination, but many people in polyamorous relationships do this. There's a lot of communication and often a lot of intentionality. This is, of course, different for every relationship(s). But even couples do this, especially once children come into the picture.
I don't imagine JRO started out that organized, but as children came along, and in the interest of fairness, this was the system that worked for them. They do leave room for spontaneity and flexibility, as illustrated by R leaving J&O to themselves even though it was unplanned. Of course, he also becomes jealous, but those sorts of things will invariably pop up too (and are not always logical), which brings us back to communication.
It’s a sleep schedule, yes. :P But woohoo often goes along with that. But then again, often it doesn’t. They're certainly not doing that every single night of the week. Well, maybe Ripp would be. haha.
