madden legacy 1.4

hello everyone, and welcome back to the madden legacy! now, to be honest, i've already played ahead to when the third generation's oldest kid becomes a teenager, so while this chapter and the next are standard size i think, the next couple will either be heavily cut down, or way longer. who knows!

look who came to visit, vanila! i miss you baby...

however, i couldn't just let dumpling be all by her lonesome, especially with a child and three toddlers hanging about. she needed a playmate, so we got one!

don't have night vision? well, alright...

they're already getting along! this is carlie madden, a cutesy little poodle. however i won't lie, i didn't take many photos of her, or of dumpling, since they were mostly meant to be playmates with each other.

wren is growing so quickly, he's already bursting out of his toddler clothes.

i'm thankful for out butler -- she provides a helping hand for these kiddos.

and apparently i missed her aging up, but avani grew into a child!! a very... derpy... child...

ah, that's better!! she's so sweet looking...

avani is probably the most normal kid so far, which... is saying a lot, since the triplets are only toddlers still.

avani's new big girl room! since she's the oldest, she gets to have her choice of top or bottom bunk. eventually, she'll be sharing with tivkah.

BELA PLEASE DON'T HOLD TIVKAH THAT WAY.

there we go, that's better.

they decided to throw a party for spooky day or some other reason, and wanted to spend most of it outside, but of course, the weather decided to say 'screw you!' and rain.

thankfully, emilio had tons of lifetime happiness stored up, so we got this neat little doodad. it can change the weather, so in lickety-split, the sun was shining.

meanwhile, avani decided to start getting to know some of kiddies of her own age.

their matchy matchy shoes are too cute.

ahem, this is karie means, avani's new bff.

avani: peek-a-boo, wren-wren!

wren: holy shit!

okay, this totally broke my heart, and was super random -- i guess tending to kids all day every day tends to kill your lustful urges, huh?

so i decided to let them go to the love festival in town, and leave the kiddies with avani and the butler.

love meter: you have taught love meter what love truly means. beep - boop.

maybe a day out and about was just what they needed.

they were happy and loved up once more as soon as they got home.

apparently at some point, uncle paden decided to come over and take care of the tots as well. he's not the best babysitter though, and avani had to step up to give the kiddos their dinner milk.

WHERE IS EVERYONE?? i know the entire family is home!!

that's better, thank you. anywho, it's the triplets' birthday today, thank fucking goodness. let's get them on two legs, because i'm tired of taking care of TRIPLETS!

this is tivkah

this is wren

why are you looking at me that way?

and micaiah. but there's something you should know about her....

SHE'S EBIL!!!!!

but she's also friendly, so she's constantly smiling and being sweet as well. it's an interesting mixture.

even though avani technically had first dibs, she's nice enough to play rock, paper, scissors with tivkah to see who gets what bed.

the triplets immediately rolled wishes that pretty much told me what they were like. tivkah wanted to paint, micaiah wanted to learn logic, and wren, well... he wanted to write.

WHAT.

GO HOME!!

why am i being plagued by ghosts who don't even live here?! or have gravestones here?!

ugh. at least i can rely on the kiddies for some cute, normalcy. i wonder how long that will last...

avani is the ideal big sister. she's bffs with all of her siblings, and can always find some way to play with them, whether it's sitting and gossiping with tivkah, playing blocks with wren, or playing tag with micaiah.

however, no one is closer than tivkah and micaiah. they're always talking and playing, and doing things near each other -- they're basically inseparable, but they don't have a strong relationship with wren. even though he doesn't have the trait, he's the loner out of the kids.

not long after, it was bela's birthday!

adults basically look the same as young adults, just with extra wrinkles, and for some reason in my game, they tend to lose their eyebrows???

either way, welcome to adulthood, bela!

emilio is still chipping away at his lifetime wish, which often distracts the entire goddamn household.

he also does silly things like eating outside in the hail.

we interrupt this update to bring you bela slapping the shit out of a local for absolutely no reason.

ah well. bela may not like anyone else, but she's always loved up feeling with emilio.

i just thought this was so cute

with all the relics and souvenirs that bela has brought back, i decided to make a little basement to show off her collections so far.

wren: times tables are so hard... can't i just copy you, tiv?

tivkah: if you copy me, the teacher will know, 'cause you won't be able to do the five minute exercises.

wren: ugh.

emilio: times tables are super hard...

i mean, a sarcophagus in the basement wouldn't be my first choice to sleep in, but who am i to stop him?

bela also brought home a cute little bluebird, which i named aegon.

wren: why do i have to sit on the floor?

micaiah: you don't.

tivkah: you chose to sit on the floor, dummy.

avani: there's still, like, three other empty chairs up here, too.

micaiah: i love you, mommy.

bela: i love you too, sweetie. the only child who inherited my evilness...

bela: now let me show you how to use it!

emilio: that's my wife!

emilio is the best sport.

and her i shall leave you, with a cute picture of all the kids playing video games. aren't they sweet? for now, at least!
