The MacAvoy ISBI - Generation 5.4!
Feb. 27th, 2017 08:06 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

Wow, it's been a year since we last saw the Macs! I don't even remember what happened last time. If you can't remember either, 5.3 can be found here.

Sadie: Shouldn't you be doing homework?
Danny: No?

Elena's skilling up for charisma, because her future lies in being part of a sinister cult.

Sadie: Son, you're almost a grown man now, and I assume you have at least thought about having children with Lily...
Stephen: Yes! :D Lily wants to have many, many children, so our decendants can take over the world! :D :D :D

I'm scared of him.

Sadie: That's wonderful! Spread the excellence of the MacAvoy name to the ends of the world!
Stephen: She insists I change my name to Nightinwolf. And my first name to Tempest.
Danny: I'm Heir now, I'll spread our name. :)

Sadie: You will do a great job as Torch-holder, sweetheart. You're so much smarter than those two other goons.
Danny: Yay, Mom noticed that I exist!
So yeah, Danny is the Heir. Sean got himself "bethrotted" to Andrina Starbloom, so he'll be moving from one wretched hive of villany and scum to another.

And guess who has inherited the single nice-point... Who was it who brought that into the family? Lora has six nice-points, so I'm wondering if it could actually be Fred. But I never saw him do anything mean. Ooor, genetic residue from Lonzo? O.o

Sadie: You're too young to challenge the reigning Alpha yet, rugrat!

Lora: I'm home from a crazy adventure in the Victorian age. There were vengeful ghosts and horrible tree-people and the lot. And nobody managed to pronounce my name right.

Elena: I wanna see what's in the fish-tannnnnk! I hate being short!!!

Elena: Only big kids can see the fishes, because they're invisible. :(

I already know what Elena's going to look like as a child and teen, but at this point I was a bit unsure if she would turn out looking normal, or be horribly awkward. She's got Lora's sharp chin, Carter's funky nose, and no upper lip.

It's too late to score Heir-points for Sean, but cooking's always a useful skill.

Despite the little tantrum about being small, Elena wasn't in that bad of a mood. She got some walk-training.
Tameron: That's ableist and, disgusting??! >:C

Watch these two being teens together later. Sean aged up at the end of the previous update, and he still hadn't worn everyday clothes yet, so he was probably just a day or so into his teens here. 13 and already engaged to get married... twice.

I was obviously worried about not having enough baby pictures of Elena.

Sadie: It's not because she's my favourite child that I'm bothering to teach her this! What gives you that idea?!

She'll need good stamina for walking, so she can be a good cult-recruiter and visit all the festivals.

So far, so good.

Elena: Tee hee, he's brainwashed now! His eyes are rolling round in his head! :D

This is Lora. Lora has the flu. The flu is highly infectuous. Look how sad Lora is. You can get the flu from stomping on roaches, or from bringing home a member of a household that has previously been infected. In order to reduce the spread of the flu, you can do the following things: 1, put a fence around your trash can. 2, cook Grandma's comfort soup. 3, not bring home friends from infected households. This has been a Public Service Anouncement.

Fighting an airway infection by inhaling a different strain of bacteria, is not a recommended treatment.

I'll grow her up a day early.

Just because I can, here is a hi-res picture of Emmy and Harriet.

Sadie: Speaking of meatballs... Don't ever tell Mrs. Swiller that it's "partially sunny." It's partially cloudy, and your homework is ten percent un-finished. It's very dark in the speciment cupboard, and it smells like taxidermy.

Danny: Once, I put glue on the floor, on the spot under her desk where she has her feet. It was sooo funny when the janitor had to come and chip her shoes off. :D

Danny: And then she decked the whole class three points. So it's not my fault that she gave me a D on my homework.

If Danny has a properly faily upbringing, maybe he'll lead his generation to the spectacular level of fail that
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Don't think there won't be cat-pictures! :D

Um, who is haunting Carter's side of the bed?

Stephen: Imagine if Lily and me could roam free like the people in this fantasy-game...
That would be scary.

Ellie: *is definitely not keeping an eye on what's cooking*

Fire-fighter who's not Maura Thompson: What have I told you??? No cooking with heat until you have three cooking-skill points!

Carter's nose doesn't look so bad on him, so I'm hoping it will look okay on Elena too, once she reaches adulthood. Else I think the... urrr, founder of the cult will reject her.

Sadie: This is where Mommy works. Mommy is building a droid-army.
Elena: I wanna be like you when I grow up!
Tallie and Lily would like that to be the case.

Sadie: Who are you? Are you one of my kids' friends?
Michelline: No, I just go home with random people every day, and see how long it takes for Mom to realise she's a kid short.

It's afternoon, and Stephen has been to school. Was he in his underwear all day?

Nothing can really make an Ottomas look good, but at least that hairstyle doesn't cut through her jaw.

Sadie: Okay, short-stuff. Time for you to evolve to the next level.
Elena: Yass, finally!

Sadie: I'm not favourizing you, just because you don't have to grow up in PJs. Don't listen to your brothers.

Does anyone have an ice-pack for Lee?

Danny: I don't care that it's Elena's birthday! She's not Heir, that's ME, and I'm stinky and tired and miserable!!!

Elena: Oh no, school and Mrs. Swiller... I don't wanna grow up yet!

Too late to regret it now, anyway.


Sooo, Narrator. Is she still acceptable?
Yeah, she's really pretty. She has to keep that dress, too!
It's almost winter.
But it brings out her eyes! Could you put some eyeliner and lip-gloss on her?
No. Moving on...

Sadie: Nobody can tell I'm 45!

Carter doesn't have small kids anymore, but he's still a good daddy to the cats.

Elena: I can see the fish now... I think.

They're not as hearty-farty as Lora and Fred, but these two are still a pretty good couple for an ISBI.

Stephen: Mom, why are you playing with my things?
Sadie: Because you should be in school.

Hi-res Emmy! :D

Emmy: I know he's around here somewhere...

Emmy: Don't try it, fatso. This is my sleeping spot!
Marshall: I'm not fat, I have big fur, okay?
Emmy: Yeah, we can tell that from your tail...

Marshall: I'm a little worried about Emmy's sanity.
Ellie: She's not as young as she was.

I'm sorry to tell you that I'm not sorry about spamming the cats.

It's Bailey's sanity I'm worried about. Living with an ISBI has taken its toll.

They're all crazy.


Sadie suddenly rolled the want for a guitar, and I remembered that I had one that came with a house. Um, can anyone tell me where it's from, so I can possibly download the rest of the texture?

Oh, Ellie... :(

I've decided not to get Sadie a job, and have her build bots full time. :)

That will make the Hipsters happy...

In other news, Draco still hates Ginny.

This is Emilia Crane, BTW. She's Virginia the Ingenue's younger sister, as maybe you possibly remember. Yeah, I know... there were too many new characters.

Lee: I think I see the Knowledge Aspiration in your future!

Elena: Nope, I'm running off to join a doomsday cult. Stephen has already signed up. It's run by a lady-goth.

This is Danny scoring Heir-points. He's the next Torch-holder anyway, but eh...

He's not in the mood for home-work, though.

Sadie: Tadaaa! The trash-kickers will get a nasty surprise next time they show up!

If you don't get the reference, that's okay.

The launch-pad is a bit garish, so I decided to hide it in the garage. It's not as if these bots aren't psychic, anyway.

Cats are love and joy, and this family will not own another dog!

Lee: When I was your age, we had to learn ariglacy in school. They had to take it off the syllabus because the average IQ has sunk by 20 points for every generation since then. Today's children simply don't have the mental faculties to process it.

Danny: See, Mom? It's really normal that we all fail maths!

Elena: I'm practicing my logic skill every day, because I need to have good answers thought up when I'm working for an ominous cult and people start asking critical questions.
Stephen: You will be an important asset. :)

Sadie: Stop complaining. You all have to go to school today, and I'll tell you why. See that man over there?
Danny: Sure. What about him?

Sadie: That is Ian. If you don't go to school, you could end up like him. And that's not something you want.

This is Carter. Carter has the flu. You don't want to hear that whole PSA again.

Oh, look who came home from school with the boys... (Charlotte Dimwit belongs to
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
Chaz: Sean, we really need to talk. Lily isn't who you think she is.
Sean: Yeah, uh... About Lily... You haven't told her about me and Andi, have you?
Chaz: Sean, she's cheating on you with... You're dating Andi? The so-called chosen one? She's even worse! Man, you have terrible taste in girls!

Don't worry, they're only crying because they're flunking all their classes. Lily and Andrina have nothing to do with this.

Sean: Don't feel so bad about your grades, bro! School is for sheeple, and anything we learn there is twisted and bent to fit a falsified image of the world. Our work will bring true enlightenment to the people, and it will be easier for us if we don't have too much propaganda to unlearn!

Sean: Stephen... stop it. What sort of a future cult leader are you?!
Stephen: But I want to get an A+! Just once, to know how it feeeels!

Carter: Listen, son... Remember when people thought Diaper Man was an urban legend? The truth will always come out.

Oh, look at that!

Daniel will be very well suited to head an ISBI clan.

Oh look, another Ottomas... This one's Chastity. She's basically the exact same kid as Dingo, who they have in the Edgarcy-hood. Their personalities may be different, I guess, but their faces are extremely similar.

No one ever watched the TV, so I put in a game console. Maybe the stupid boys would learn to get their fun up. The visiting kids liked it, at least.

Lee: What do you say, Lora? Should we elope to get married, and raise Elena as our own?
Lora: Maybe we should.

Elena: I have an important mission when I grow up. But I wouldn't tattle on you two if you decided to run off. This family is embarrassing.

Notice that Chaz has picked up the most psycho of the cats.


Sadie: My baby, it lives! Uh, I don't think it's supposed to fume like that...

It wouldn't be Vader if it wasn't a little broken.

Vader: HUUUUUUUUUUHHHH!

Yass, he hasn't even learned how to study. x(

Carter: No, it's not the toilet-story. This is "The bear in the blue dungarees." It's a children's classic.
Danny: Mom reads us the toilet-story!
(If you're not the easily shocked kind, click here to get a very visual impression of what I imagine the "toilet-story" to be like. It's from a legit childrens' book that was apparently published in Sweden! The translation of the text says something like "Lots of aunts and uncles went into a room, and pooped all that they could.")

O HAI DIMWITS! CONGRATS ON THE FLU!

Sadie: This is fancy.
Stephen: It's finger-food, because the dishwasher is broken.

Sean: How dare you say such things about my brother and my girlfriend???
Chaz: OWWW! Which girlfriend???

Chaz: You're just as psycho as Lily is, and I'm sorry I ever felt sorry for you!!!

Maybe you should go home now, Chaz...

Hooray! She's doing home-work!
Suddenly the event-camera popped up and...

...Chaz was outside, getting fried by Force Lightning. At this point, I was starting to feel really sorry for her.

Vader: You. Will. Not. Kick. Our. Trashcan. Is. That. Understood? HUUUUUUUUHHHHH!

Chaz legged it home after this.

This is Daniel not going to school. But whatever, he's entertaining himself.

Red Hands boosts fun, so I had Sadie play with him before attempting to finally teach him homework.

Oh no, not this asshole! Who is he taking now?!

It was Emerald. This is the final picture of her. :(

Danny: How many homeworks do I have to doooooo?
Sadie: All of them. Chop-chop!

Then he decided it was time for bed. xC

Outside, Marshall was showing a big wolf whose yard it was.

Aaand then they started playing and ++ing.


Sean: I got a G?? That's not even a grade!!!

Stephen brough home Isobel Crane.

I was very tempted to make Elena the Heir.

Sadie: Danny, you have got to be kidding us! You slept in really late, and had barely gotten up at all!
Danny: Tired again now. :)

Elena: I don't think there can be a family stupider than this!

Thank you for still being useful, Lora!

Oh, that's right. Alice hasn't been over since the night Fred died, and Sean was born. It's time to invite her over, and give her a sentry-bot to take home.

Oh no! I forgot about the killy-bike in Lora's room!

Sadie: Congratulations on your A+, darling!
Elena: It's because I'm a girl, right?
Sadie: Of course it is!

Being a favourite doesn't spare her from getting her nose broken.

The white wolf, who once ate Liranda and Zarinda, doesn't approve of family happiness.

Sadie: When the kids move out, I'm going to become a cat-lady. :)

She still hasn't learned how not to squeeze the contents of their stomachs out of them, however.

This is how Danny has fun. He's inherited his mother's high neatness.

Wheeee...

THANK. GOODNESS!

And we're leaving off with the Macs having a little birthday party. Check back in a couple of days, to see what Danny looks like as a teenager!

Wuh-oh. A Dimwit who has grown up in a cult? Not good sign!!
I've been polluted by the Dimwits. I saw pictures of Elena whining about her aspirations and laughed.
GOWAY TAMROIN!!1
She'll need good stamina for walking, so she can be a good cult-recruiter and visit all the festivals.
You should see Landru's idea of a festival. (Sorry. Couldn't resist.)
If Danny has a properly faily upbringing, maybe he'll lead his generation to the spectacular level of fail that alittlestrange managed with Generation 5 of her Dimwit ISBI.
XD The rest of the Dimwit legacy will probably be really boring. I think they've already hit rock bottom.
Awww, the Macs' kitties. I wuv dem. I have a secret fantasy of one day naming a real-life kitty Landru. :D
Wow, all that cat interaction! Hammer and Jeeves get along great, but they hardly ever spend any time together.
Um, can anyone tell me where it's from, so I can possibly download the rest of the texture?
I don't know. I kinda like it that way. At least there's no confusion as to which part is the amp. ;)
Cats are love and joy, and this family will not own another dog!
Indeed! When Quinn dies, I shall have to be catless for a while, until I know what my life situation is going to be in the future. :( Quinn is almost fourteen, but so far he's still going strong.
I came to the picture of Ian, thought, "Who is that ultra good-looking Sim?" Then I recognized him. I feel clever.
It's really amazing how much trouble Chaz causes outside her native neighborhood. There, she defies her lack of nice points and behaves quite well. Everywhere else...! And she got zapped by two sentry bots? It's a wonder she still has flesh. I take it this is who you hinted about getting zapped? X)
Geez, Danny, why so sleepy? Do you have anemia or something?
Yaaay it was fun to see the Macs again! Not to mention your narrative instead of Narrator's narrative. (Not that I don't enjoy Narrator's narrative.) And there's another update coming! Can't wait!

Date: 2017-02-28 03:36 pm (UTC)I don't think I'm getting a cat, or any sort of pet, for a few more years either. It's possible I'm entirely done owning pets.
I once saw Douglas in one of your pictures, and I thought "Whoa ugly Sim!!! ...hang on." x)
Chazza was indeed the bots's first zap-target, buuuuut... They're not done zapping yet. I think you may possibly approve of the next victim.
Danny just really didn't want to learn homework. x(
The next update is coming in a couple of days. I think maybe on Thursday, or as weekend reading on Friday. :)
