tigeranne | Bad Influence: The Brianna Files

Ohai peepz. :D This is your Narrator coming to talk to you again. The story of Brianna's way normal new life continues.

PSA: Don't try Brianna's drink recipes! You'll be dead, and they may not even taste good. This post contains bad AI poems.

Last time, Brianna had moved to Oasis Springs and found herself a roomie named Maegan. The two girls couldn't be more different. Maegan is an intelligent and sensitive woman, who's lost both her brother and boyfriend in a short span of time, and is dealing with the loss in the best ways she can. Brianna.... well. She's Brianna. The two of them share a tiny one-bedroom cabin in the desert, where they're also trying to take care of Maegan's baby daughter Morgan. It's a temporary living situation, until they can get something larger. Brianna works in the chef career, and Maegan works in tech, while both of them are trying to start social media careers.

Brianna had started a small garden outside. So far it only had sage on one side of the house, and strawberries on the other. Little Morgan liked playing between the green shrubs, which seemed like an enchanted fairy forest to someone as small as her. :)

Brianna: Oops, better water the plants. They look a bit dry.

Morgan: Don't kill pixies!

Brianna: It's not poison, just a medicine that the bugs don't like the smell of, so they leave the plants alone. Bugs can make plants and pixies very sick. :( Ouch, sorry kid! I didn't mean to spray you!

Don't worry, it really wasn't poison!

Brianna: Yeh, one day I'm gonna have a better kitchen set-up. For now, just enjoy the recipes, and don't focus on aesthetics.

There was a river below the hill their neighbourhood sits on, where fishing was good and plentiful. Maegan had told Brianna that fish was good for the brain, because it contained some Omegawhatevers. Brianna wouldn't mind becoming a little smarter.

It was very pretty down by the river, even if there was a whole neon retro situation on the other side of the road. There's also an entire huge dinosaur sculpture over there. I know I have pictures of it, stay tuned.

But you know.... To Brianna who'd spent her whole life on the flat plains of Ashmoor, it was all very natural and beautiful.

First catch!

Brianna had heard people talk about there being many strange kinds of frogs living wherever there was a source of water in the desert town. She was getting kind of desperate for a pet, and she'd always kind of liked frogs.

Brianna: Oh no, that was definitely a slug I just grabbed. 8(

"I've made cinnamon buns with chocolate frosting. This is how happy they made everyone!"

Brianna: Oh grandma Brenda, that's the poop emoji background.

Morgan was kind of a temperamental kid who got the grumps really easily. She woke up angry every morning, because she had to go potty. She got angry when she got hungry, she got angry when she got sleepy. She even got angry from playing with toys. Brianna honestly preferred her fierce little personality to the constant bawling and screeching of every baby she'd ever known before.

Brianna's family is hot-headed and very dramatic, let's say.

She was allowed to watch pretty much anything she wanted on TV, as long as it wasn't too violent or adult. Brianna had grown up the same way, and TV had caused her nightmares many times. Sometimes she felt that even though she had no right to criticise or undermine the way Maegan chose to raise a child she clearly loved, maybe she - Brianna - could do little things to add wholesome influences to Morgan's childhood. Maybe she oughta?

Maegan was an attentive parent, though. She talked to Morgan a lot, even when she was doing stuff.

I really wish TS2 had that kind of multi-tasking. Like, it's still best Sims, for what it is, but it's very 20 years old. In gaming that's like 200 million years in animals. :( If the team who made TS2 back in the early 00s had made it today, as in the exact same people had made it with current technology and experience, it would have been SO GREAT! We don't know what we'll never have.

Brianna: You should get a cat, Maegan. They are happiness and sanity. Or rather, I mean they're happiness and insanity. But their crazy keeps you happy and sane.

Maegan: I'm more of a dog person, actually. Cats don't seem to like me much.

Brianna: Then get a dog!

Maegan: Yeah, I should adopt a stray. There are many good dogs that deserve a furever home.

Brianna: M-hm. Rescue dogs can make wonderful companions, because they're so happy to be part of a family.

Maegan: There's no shelter in this area, though.

Brianna: I'll start one.

Maegan: You'll what?

Brianna: We have some space out back. I'll get some dog houses and cat trees off e-bay, and put out food and water.

Yeah, Brianna was serious about that!

Because chefs and kitchen staff work a lot during weekends, Brianna usually had days off during the week. She went to meet Georgia at the park and hang out, but oh what's this?

Behold default replacement skins that work! Brianna, and everyone else, looks so much better like this!

Then in the next picture they were back at the park again. Morgan was excited for an adventure.

She found the courage to go over and talk to a girl named Devon, who seems like a friend Maegan would approve of. (As in she looks a bit nerdy and brainy.) Maegan was at work, so Brianna just dragged Morgan along to the park to run around and get the toddler energy out.

Oh, and this is Britta Morris. I think she's one of the generated townies that are unique to my game. Let me know if you also have a Britta who looks and dresses like this, or the Eubanks family: Beverly (teen), Cliff (adult, father) and a teenaged son/brother whose name I've forgotten.

Brianna streamed another cooking out session while she grilled chicken skewers. It has a more fancy name, I just can't remember, don't hate.

Brianna: Thumbnail for the reupload. :D

Morgan wasn't a picky eater, and she liked a bit of spice already.

Oh, and here's the blurb for that mysterious book on the table!

Meagan hugged Brianna and said that she was happy that she (Brianna) existed in the world and was her friend. People don't say stuff like that to Brianna very often, so it meant a lot to her.

Georgia came over and sampled the chicken.

Georgia: It's schnummy! I'll leave a comment on the video, rating it 9/10.

Brianna: What's the minus one, so I can work on it?

Georgia: It tastes like there's basil in it. I don't like basil.

Brianna: But that's part of the recipe.

Georgia: Yeh, just saying.

Maegan played a lot of MySims Go. It was one of her most popular Let's Play series.

I found out that toofz like Georgia has are called "Japanese Teeth." Hopefully it just means that it's something that's considered cute in Japan and they use it in art a lot, and not some racist bu11sh!t about all Japanese people having big front teeth. x(

Maegan did a lot of pep-talking to herself. Her past couple of years had been heartbreaking and hard. She hoped she was on a positive track now, with her new job and her videos.

A dog would be great, though.

Yeah. Maegan tried to fix a bug in a co-worker's code without telling anyone. It was a nice thing that turned out wrong. :(

Morgan was booooooooored.

Beverly: I recommended your channel to some of my classmates, so you may get a few new subscribers.

Maegan: Thanks, you're a pal!

Maegan: I've about had it up to HERE with this crap desktop!

Maegan could probably have fixed the computer herself, but Brianna thought they should call a repair dude in case he was cute. Uh, Brianna? Remember the repair-guy Starling got as a date from the Match Maker? Who was 700 years old and gave her a bag of poop?

Anyway, this is Freddy (Freddie?) Horton. He's not horrible, but he'd need a makeover. But if I made him over, maybe he'd stop being an NPC and become a regular townie instead, and the game would spawn another repair-person who was uglier, and yeh.

Nina Caliente randomly came over.

Brianna took Georgia (and Morgan) with her on a little explorational trip in town.

Brianna: Let's review this Mexican restaurant.

It wasn't much in the way of a restaurant, they mainly served drinks. I guess I'd need a DLC for proper dining venues. :( But I don't want to become a Sims 4 slave who gets alllll the EPs and stuff.

Morgan: Are you a clown?

Fashion Criminal: What do you mean?!

Maegan felt sadness of her soul.

Oooooh, I suddenly remembered! You peeps know why I named Brianna that, back when she was born? (In my TS2 game, in case you're a new reader.) When I was a kid, like 11 or something IDKDR, my BFF and me wrote this fanfic mega-crossover together. My OC was named Brianna, and I named Zarinda's daughter after her, because I wanted her to be as cool as (I thought) that character was. Both my friend and me remembered that story as being an awesome epic, and then we read it again last year..... x(

A self-help video Maegan watched suggested that trying art and music could be a good idea of handling feels.

Poor Quality? I think that's extremely good for a first ever painting! Especially when you see the stuff she painted later....

Maegan had been told that even young children like Morgan should be treated as if they were just short adults. She was trying to explain to Morgan why two characters on TV were very upset.

Maegan's next painting was of the social bunny she'd been really scared of seeing as a kid.

There was so little space in the house that the girls decided to get bunk beds to free up some floor. Brianna had always wanted to have a top bunk.

If something wasn't available to you as a child, you can still have it as an adult and enjoy it. :) My teacher said that the other day.

Morgan had to eat a bowl of peas sometimes, to get proteins and vitamins, and other stuff that's important for vertical expansion. She was really interested in the social bunny, because where they live now it's just a legend, and Morgan liked forest animals. Maybe not as much as she liked dinosaurs, but still a lot.

In the terrarium box is the frog Brianna found in the log with mushrooms, and her first fish (actually a plaster cast of it) hangs above it on the wall.

Maegan was really happy that morning. Art therapy had done her good!

She wasn't even bothered when the sink broke.

Freddy Horton came over to fix it, and looked depressed. Brianna has questionable taste in men, just saying. In the past she's dated Gilbert Jaquet, but that's the kind of thing she's come here to move away from.

Freddy hung around and started painting. O.o

It actually turned out pretty cool, though. Morgan would probably love it and state that it was a dinosaur.

Morgan's a smart kid. She probably has it from her mom. Maegan refuses to talk about Morgan's father, so nothing much is known about him other than being dead.

This is the back of their lot, where they're going to have a veggie garden in time. LOL and there's the dinosaur! Guess how Morgan's obsession began. I'm so sad it's an inaccessible area of the map. :( There's a town in TS3 that has a dino statue too, only theirs is a t-rex, and Sims can go all the way up to it. I hope the devs are going to update the Oasis Springs map to open up more areas, but that's a foolish thing to actually expect. Sometimes playing TS4 makes me want to play TS3 instead. :( And a lot of the time it makes me wanna play TS2, so I've been doing that too!

Here's the view from across the road. This is p much the whole neighbourhood. The accessible area starts right down the road from their house, around a small bend. Georgia is their closest neighbour. Then there's an empty lot next to hers, and a small Spanish type house you can't see in this picture. Johnny Zest lives in the blue mobile. His lot is quite big. There's a v smol park up near the top right corner. They can go down to the river to two fishing spots on this side, and to one across a bridge from the little park. The quarry-looking thing is off bounds to the public because of deep mineshafts and dangeroo.

There's this trail on the right side of their lot, where people sometimes walk by.

Brianna got promoted to Line Cook. Which I think means that she's basically on an assembly line and does one job all day, like cutting all the veggies, or making pots and pots of sauce.

Maegan had the weekend off, and goofed around with her kid.

Georgia asked to come over, but when she showed up she was ANGRRRRY. :O

Brianna managed to talk her down, but in the process Brianna got v angry herself! And you really don't want to see Brianna angry.

"Grrrrrrrrrr...."

"Frzzzzzzzzzzzzt!"

It was best to send Georgia home, before Brianna got herself Banned from the Community, or said something she couldn't take back.

Oh no, had Brianna lost her second-best friend?

Also, the censor-bots thinks she's naked because the dress is a similar colour to her skin. SCANDALOUS!

Brianna: Go home and cool off, and I'll see you in a century of first Mondays in February.

Morgan: She mad?

Maegan: Oh yeah, she's MAD.

Random Bella Goth sighting. She's not actually missing. I don't know why she came over to talk to Maegan though, because I don't think they'd ever met before.

Then Maegan met this pizza delivery guy, named Farhan Wilsonoff, as he came sauntering back from a delivery. For a townie he wasn't half badly put together, and Maegan, well, she liked him on first glance. A lot.

He must have liked her too, since he was willing to talk about.... uh.

And bondage.

Maegan's kinda difficult, because she can't stop doing things that make her uncomfortable. Like gardening. And this! But she's got high Mischief Skill, because she spends so much time trolling online. *facePalm*

Suddenly Maegan realised that she was an adult woman, who wished to be seen as intelligent and spread enlightening messages, and she was there, talking about underpants in public with a rando dude she'd never seen before. She had to run home and hide for a while. The shame was extreme.

Brianna came home, looking grown-up and dignified in her new work outfit. :)

Confidence and assuredness radiated from her while she was livestreaming her breakfast.

How can a chef be as skinny as that, though? Look at her, she's almost hollow!

They finally found a nanny service they didn't think sounded too dilapidated, and a woman named Jillian Patino made contact.

Nanny: My friends call me Pat.

The first thing Pat did was putting away books. So far so good.

Then she started cooking.

She sliced up lots of fish, and then she suffered Nanny Amnisia.

Pat: Yeh I forgot the next step in the recipe.

Pat: Neatso, a station that only shows Emmerdale!

Maegan was so ace at engineering that she got promoted to do it professionally.

Being an engineer made her qualified to fix the toilet, after it was clean enough to handle. Yurck.

Was Pat regaining her memory of the recipe? Or at least how to look it up online?

Apparently not. Brianna finished cooking it when she got home. She detectivated from the ingredients and how they'd been prepared that Pat had tried making fish tacos.

Brianna: I'll be for real with y'allz. This isn't my favourite way of preparing fish, and it's definitely not my favourite way of making tacos, but let's salvage what's been started.

Maegan: Hey, I could do empowering DIY videos. :)

Brianna: By popular request, we're going to make another cocktail. This one's called Snopey, and it's definitely not for anyone under 21 years of age. For one, it contains an unwholesome amount of whiskey.

Brianna: For two, it contains Menthos or a similar substitute, some cola-flavoured soda - I prefer Pepsi, and....

*whoosh*

Brianna: You'll want it reacting with the soda, to create a bubbling, foaming effect. Try to not get it in your eyes, because it will disinfect your eyeballs permanently. Also the candy may come flying out if you put in too many at once. This is a very good choice as a Halloween party drink for adults. You can add red food colouring for more of a horror aesthetic if your friends have a sense of humor. And if they don't, why are you friends? Hang on, I have a call from someone.

Brianna: Always encourage platonic friendships! In this age of L O V E, I often feel like people don't appreciate friendships enough. People always have to be *more.*

Brianna: Speaking of friendships with benefits, though. Being friends with me has the benefit that I'll feed you lots of delish stuff I'm cooking, to learn gourmet recipes for work. It may also have the un-benefit that your pants will fit a lot more tightly.

Beverly Eubanks wasn't having a good day. Her dad had been weird and erratic again. Although Maegan felt bad for her, she was happy at the same time that it gave her a chance to be Beverly's positive adult role-model, as Brianna had called it. Beverly was smart and geeky, and reminded Maegan of herself a decade earlier.

She wasn't quite sure if Beverly's mother was actually dead, or if she had taken off because she couldn't handle her husband anymore. Apparently he was sane enough to have custody.

Brianna: I love my job, and I'm so glad I'm not Connor Burkett or Jillian the Mailperson.

When Maegan was at work, and Morgan was taking a nap or occupied with something that would keep her from wandering off, Brianna often went down to the river to catch fresh ingredients.

Sometimes Morgan came with her, because she liked playing in the sand on the riverbank. Brianna kinda liked the idea that she helped raise a little wildchild.

Maegan really wanted Morgan to love superheroes and empowering geek culture as much as she did, so she made sure Morgan had some educational toys.

Britta Morris wasn't in a very good mood that day. I hope she wasn't mad at Brianna for telling her to go hang out with Arabella, because Arabella IS a little.... odd. You'll see her later sometime.

Brianna: It's not necessary to kick our wheelie-bin though!

Brianna: Welcome back to Brianna's Kitchen! I can't believe my previous video had over 20 views! Yeah, I know people say it's nothing, but it means 20 different people chose to watch MY video instead of all the other stuff that's out there, and that means a lot to me!

(A/N: It means a lot to me that almost 100 people are apparently still reading my stories!)

Brianna: A barely noticable sprinkling of pepper....

Then fate clubbed Maegan over the head with a tree-trunk.

Maegan: Uhh.... I'm not so sure of that, actually. You know she's dating her daughter's boyfriend, right? Plus she must be over 50 years old, unless she had her kids when she was like 12 or something, and that's a bit of an age difference. She's not going to be into our music, or culture, or share our values. Plus I've heard she's got a ghost baby.

(A/N: In my game she's had a baby, and he looks like a ghost. Poor kid. His name is Tobias.)

Farhan: Yeh okay.

Brianna was still collecting frogs. She really needed a real pet.

She also kept finding time capsules someone had buried vinyl pops of the MySims cast in.

The next day she did another livestream of cooking in public and getting random peeps to try her food.

And I'm losing my mind looking at her! I didn't make her this flat on purpose. She must have lost weight from all the sit-ups and push-ups she constantly does. Yeah, Brianna's a skinny stick-girl, but this is terrible. She's not the chef, she's the chopping board!

Brianna: I'm here with Bob, who lives on a diet of only pancakes. He's going to try some grilled corn on the cob, with relish.

Bob: It's not too bad.

Brianna: Could you try to describe the taste for the viewers?

Bob: It's corny, grilled, kinda vegetably.

Nancy Landgraab: I don't want to be in the video.

Brianna: That's okay, I'll edit you out.

Nancy: Good. I have a horrible hair day.

When they came home Cliff Eubanks was there, looking for his kids.

Cliff: And now: A poem.

The penultimate fate of ungrammatical crudites

But the man in the jelly always gets taller

The penultimate fate of ungrammatical crudites

I wish I was a little bit taller

Cliff: While on the walls the clocks read noon

Because she was secluded

Perhaps the muse will kiss me soon

My contributions....wan, and jaded

O HAI MRS. CRUMPLEBOTTOM! U mad today?

Said Maegan not sorry.

Maegan: I can't believe he even considered going out with someone who could be his mother!

Beverly: That's almost necrophilia.

Maegan decided to cook dinner, because Brianna was still at work and Maegan was hungry NOW.

Maegan: If Brianna can do it, how hard can it be?

Beverly: I hate my life and I have one set of clothes.

Maegan: I can take you shopping if you want.

Beverly: Thanks. Now I just gotta convince Dad to give me some money. I don't get an allowance, because money makes you evil if you're exposed to it before you're of age, according to his creed.

Maegan: What religion is he?

Beverly: He's a.... Cliffologist.

Sometimes it feels really nice to vent!

Brianna: This drink is known as The Occult Hand. It contains brandy, white rum and blue curacao. You also need a lot of finely crushed ice. The trick is to make a layered effect, so the blue and brown stay separate. This sounds like a halloween drink, and no one can stop you from using it as one, but I think it fits best as a summer cocktail. The reason for the name is because you'll not be responsible for your actions after drinking it! It's like you're in a game, played by the kind of person who likes putting mole-people in the walls. There's drunk, and there's The Occult Hand.

Morgan: Yuss, I found a nanny-whacker!

The guy with the frozen butt-cheek came over.

Mitchell?: Hi, is the girl with green hair home?

Morgan: No. She's working.

Mitchell: So you like dinosaurs, huh? I loved them when I was your age! My favourite movie was Monsters Inc. Actually, it wasn't Monsters Inc, it was this knock-off that my grandma found in a bargain bin at Wally. The main character was this dude named Scrully, who was green and had one big eye on a long stalk. Actually, I used to have nightmares about Scrully. There was this closet built into the wall of my room, and the door would never close. I used to lie in bed and be terrified that Scrully's eye-stalk would come snaking out of it. I could never watch beyond that scene where he falls into the spaghetti-squeezer, and his eye becomes this pom-pom thing.

Morgan: I don't wanna hear more.

Mitchell: One night when I was six I had to use the bathroom after bedtime. It was the most terrible thing I had ever experienced. Even if I was really scared of Scrully I kinda always thought that he wasn't really real you know? But that night I SAW him in the bathroom, shredded eye and all. I screamed and screamed, and all the lights came on. Then my parents came running out, and I was like pointing like crazy at Scrully, but he was gone. Instead uncle Mike was in the bathroom, because he'd come to spend Christmas. I never trusted Uncle Mike after that, even though he gave me his old Playstation and some of his games.

Maegan: Stop scaring Morgan. Who gave you permission to even talk to her?!

Mitchell: Uh hhi, wanna hang out?

Brainna liked a drink as much as the next person. Maybe more, come to think of it. x( But it was a chef she wanted to be.

Brianna: Viral video?

Brant: Yeah, this kid who thinks he's a stuntman is doing the Cowplant Challenge!

Brianna: What? That's not even a thing! Maegan made that up, to see how fast an urban legend can spread.

Brant: Well, she's made it a thing then.

Mrs. Crumplebottom: DISCUSTING.

Brianna empowered herself with some plumbing.

Maegan couldn't believe that her silly joke had been taken seriously, and now people could DIE because of her. She had to hide and cry for a while. Sometimes that helps, but not really when you feel like a murderer. :(

Maegan: BAWWWW!

Farhan: It's okay, Maegz. Someone would have had that idea sooner or later anyway.

Maegan: Yeah, but I made it happen!

Farhan: Maybe you didn't. Someone else could have thought of it first.

Maegan: *SOB!*

Farhan: And besides, you've already told parents all over social media. Or Soccer-Mom Heather did, but whatever. You've already taken a stand against it. People who read your articles listen to what you have to say. You're the hero here, Maegan!

Beverly often came over to borrow the computer, so she could get information without her dad demanding to see her browsing history before she could delete it. To repay the favour, she said she'd help spread anti-Cowplant-Challenge awareness in her online spaces.

Someone else who had kids gave them a deck of picture cards to help children learn to express their needs. Morgan could already talk a lot, because the adults talked to her all the time, but she loved the "new game."

Morgan: Nanny-whacker!

After Morgan had promised with sprinkles on top that she wasn't going to whack any nannies, they discovered they had a visitor.

A little black tuxedo cat had suddenly appeared. He looked really happy, despite the fact that someone had crammed a top-hat down over his ears. A tag on his bow-tie said his name was Mayor Whiskers.

Don't put stuff on your cat's head that squeezes the ears. They hate that!

He'd brought a friend, a floofy white furball named Bartholomew A. Bittlebuns Senior. These two cats didn't look like strays, but Brianna was happy to see that her shelter was attracting the right kind of attention.

Then a very sad dog came shuffling up the road. She had a collar on, but she looked so lost, neglected and heartbroken that if she'd once had a family she probably didn't anymore. The tag on her collar said her name was Blue, and she definitely looked it.

Another big dog showed up right after. Instead of a collar he wore a bandana, and the name Captain Whitacker was embroidered on it.

Brianna: This is so much better than frogs!

Pat: So all of these animals are up for adoption?

Brianna: No, I think some of them have owners. I'll post pictures, in case someone's searching for them.

(A/N: You can't trust what the game says about an animal being a stray or not. Sometimes all of them have the red "stray" tag on their name bubble, even though you know one of your other families owns them. Other times it's missing from an animal that's an actual stray.)

The mayor got onto the top of the fridge and started counciling.

BTDubs, Agnes Crumplebottom has a much nicer sister named Agatha, who runs a flower shop.

Blue the sad dog was really interested in bath time. :)

Maegan was always trying to find something to occupy her mind with. Something, anything, that kept depression and guilt away.

Maegan: ♭♬♯ La-la-la, I hate gardening. ♪♩♫

Two new cats, without collars, showed up at night. One was a female grey tabby, who they named Brenda, and the other one was a shorthaired orange and white tom with floppy ears. They called him Zip.

Next morning the Captain brought more of his friends. One was a greyhoud who had run away from owners who forced him to wear a shark costume for likes. Brianna tried to take it off, but the straps had been super-glued in place. The other new dog was a little bean who Morgan named Cookie.

Brenda was very fluffy!

(PS: I got pet eye-defaults p soon after getting the EP, so they'll all look much nicer eventually.)

I've never had a computer that has fried as often as the one Maegan had. :O

Maegan had no idea who Lexi Belcher was, so she told Pat that she had to think for herself.

Another cat showed up. This is Elliott, and he's male despite being a Calico.

And this is Maddie. It gets confusing with all the colour-point cats that eventually start hanging out, but Maddie can be identified by her white feet.

Maegan punished herself by studying the plants. :C

Sigrid Lewis: Cheer up, Devon. I'm sure you've studied enough for the test.

Maegan got promoted again. She was doing really well in her career.

Brianna discovered that someone had opened a food stall in their neighbourhood. There's so little going on around there that this was kind of fun. It could be a place to hang around and meet people. And the stall did sell pizza.

Yeah, another colour-point had already shown up. Her name was given as Mama Kitty, because Morgan thought she had to be Maddie's mom. She has black paws.

Brianna: Nice! Snopey has over 30 views! And the video with Pancake Bob has almost 50!

BTW, I put in a light mod. :)

Brianna: Welcome to Brianna's Kitchen. Tonight I'm not in the kitchen, because we're surprising my roomie with a picnic.

Rude commenter: Who ran over you with a steam-roller?

Anyone else getting OCD by seeing Maegan's finger touching the dressing on the corn, and feel like wiping their hands? Only me?

TS4 is so PRETTY and I'm so mad that no mod will ever exist that will allow TS2 to have scenery like this!

Brianna wanted to try out the fishing spot on the other side of the creek.

If you think it looks like Maegan has increased a bit in dimension, it's because Brianna keeps feeding her super-calory gourmet foods, LOL!

Just showing receipts that Morgan is actually cared for!

Beverly: I wanna run away from everything.

Maegan: Yeh, me too sometimes. I don't like living in the desert, and this house is so small. I have none of the things I need here, no privacy, no spaces that offer growth, and not much contact with people more like myself. You're the exception, although you're still very young.

Beverly: Why do you stay?

Maegan: Because of my brother, mostly. He lived in this house before the.... accident. Mason was always the family member I got along the best with. I wanted to know more about the life he'd lived, and the people he'd known, but there's barely any trace of him to show he existed. Brianna talks about getting a bigger place, now that we make actual money, and I think that's the only plan I have.

Beverly: I want to go to San Myshuno, or Windenburg.

Brianna came home and noticed that one or more of the animals was sick and had thrown up everywhere.

Brianna: It's not you is it? Are you ill?

Blue: * M I S E R Y *

Brianna: Aww, poor girl! :(

Brianna: This is my life now! :D

Since there wasn't much space inside the house, they got some patio furniture and a BBQ, so they could extend their living room outdoors. You must be SO tired of pictures of Brianna cooking though, but it's what she does a lot of the time.

BTW, it's spring. They have seasons now!

Brianna: Hi, Brant! Do you want to adopt a dog?

(Brant and his husbando Brent already have a dog, but they can definitely have another, or a cat. Some time I'm going to look into every single household, and see if anyone has a high relationship with any of the strays, and I'll "adopt" them into that family.)

This is Maegan. Maegan has no fun. That is because Maegan's free will leads her to voluntarily choose to do things she hates, like anything to do with plants. Don't be like Maegan. Do things that make you happpy when you can.

Brianna had gotten her hands on a weed-vacuum. It made tending the garden a lot easier. :)

Yeah, a lot of the plants died, because Brianna didn't take proper care of them.

Brianna for reals wanted a pupper, and she was working on socialising Captain into maybe being a family dog. She'd brought him to the park, so Morgan could play and bond with him, while Brianna was doing whatever it is she does.

Brianna:

Let's look at some scenery!

So pretty. >:(

Morgan wasn't scared of big dogs, so that was something.

Brianna: This is like Pokemon Go, if everything was frogs!

This is Beverly's brother. I can't remember his name.

Brother Eubanks: That your dog?

Morgan: Yeh.

BevBro: Does he bite?

Morgan: Yeh!

She didn't want another Big Boy telling her about monsters that turned into his uncle.

This is Teddy, and he's seen some s h i t e. He's a breed called a Weimaraner. They're a real breed and look kind of like that, with silvery-brown fur and blue eyes. I think they're kind of rare.

Brianna: Today on Brianna's Kitchen we're making flambéed omelet.

Brianna: If you can't stand the heat you can't be on a cooking channel!

Brianna: I can't remember what it was I planted here. Maybe it was a lemon, maybe it was an onion. I keep waiting for something to come up so I can see. Let me know down in the comments if you want to see gardening videos!

LMAO I THOUGH SHE WAS TOPLESS! I was like "Oh no, have I deleted some CC shirt already?!"

Notice that the bots can see that THIS is a shirt, but not that Georgia was wearing a dress!

Britta spontaneously started spraying the bugs. How nice! :)

Brianna: She may have a ghost baby, though. But it's your decision, of course. You're used to kids.

Also, I think Katrina is entirely a Man's Lady, but who knows.

This is Annie, a Bichon Frisee.

And Tanner, a "Toy Spaniel." I think that means he's the kind of dog most people call a King Charles Spaniel, which is NOT the same as the Cavalier KCS. The Cavalier is going extinct because of heart problems and a brain disease that almost all of them have. :'(

Tanner is a little horror, LOL! But he's so cute!
