Ghost and Aaron: Master List | Next Update

Oh my god, I'm addicted. If you're sick of these posts already, then I apologize for bombarding you flist. If you're enjoying them—well, I have more! Things with Aaron and Ghost continue apace—foosball, kissing, and a little incident with the TV...

Trash talk
Trash talkin' over foosball.
Not that it did Ghost any good—he lost this round.
(Aaron nearly lives in his boxer shorts.)

Still affectionate
The next morning begins with a kiss or two... but nothing more.
(Thusfar, all romance remains autonomous.)

Aaron plays chess alone...
When Ghost goes to work, Aaron runs errands and visits a park...
He plays chess alone because yeah, he stole the other chair.

Yes, the sprinkler again
Yes, it's another damn sprinkler. Even the resident ghost loves it!

Mornings begin with a bit of cuddling
Morning cuddles become tradition.

Snorgles
Snorgles! They are so adorable.
Those are Ghost's paintings in the background. He's, er, improving. Slowly.

Aaron graduates from petty larceny
That evening, Aaron graduates from petty larceny to grand theft auto.
Oh well. They need a car anyway, and sure can't afford one.

This is actually sort of creepy
I've grown rather fond of Gertrude, the resident ghost...
But when she hangs out in Ghost's bedroom it's still a bit creepy.

And this is rather gross
And this is a bit gross.
Aaron is a slob, but there's no excuse for standing in a puddle of water and unclogging a toilet while wearing tubesocks.

This can't be good
Well this can't be good.
The boys break the TV, and Aaron tries to repair it with poor results.

Ghost: Oh my god, a fire!
Ghost: Dude, you set the TV on fire!

Aaron: Oh my god, a fire!
Aaron: Dude, I set the TV on fire!
He's a bit slow on the uptake.

Where some folks upgrade...
So where some folks upgrade, the boys manage to destroy their house a little more with each passing day.
(I'm actually hugely in love with the house, which I have been modifying bit by bit to render more of a shithole. I should take pictures sometime.)

I don't even know what to tell you
I don't even know what to tell you.
Ghosts have needs too, I guess—which includes chatting on the computer.

Yeps, more touching
Ghost has the next day off ... so there's time for more snorgles.

Ghost and Aaron hold hands in the park
And a visit to the park.
(I just love this photo—but it's best large.)

...and then Ghost wanders off
But Ghost soon wanders off—this is a developing trend:
Whenever things heat up, Ghost wanders away (or goes to work), or Aaron chickens out.
And I think Aaron is starting to find it frustrating.

Ghost learning guitar
Ghost uses the time to practice the guitar.
And, er, it's a pretty picture?

Aaron up to no good
Ghost leaves a few minutes before Aaron—giving Aaron, his sticky fingers, and another park chair some time alone.
Current klepto treasure trove: four lights, one bench, two chairs, a coffee table, a vase, two tombstones and, oh yeah, a car.

That didn't go so well
Once home, Aaron tries to cook dinner. It doesn't go so well.
(Ghost ate it anyway.)

I'm beginning to suspect Aaron has family problems...
I'm beginning to suspect that Aaron has family issues...
It's the only thing he critiques in Ghost, but he does so often.

(The backstory here: Aaron and Ghost are cousins—their mothers are siblings. Ghost had an unremarkable but decent childhood—he still turned out a little strange, but would have done so in any family. Aaron—messy and rude, dyed and pierced—is still rebelling against his well-intended but overcritical, overcontrolling family. Aaron projects his family troubles onto others, and constantly picks fights over Ghost's mother and how complete strangers raise their children. OR AT LEAST THAT'S HOW IT ALL IS IN MY HEAD god I am a massive geek.)

(And if kissing cousins squick you, then the previous paragraph does not exist.)

Luckily Ghost is forgiving
It bothers Ghost, but he's surprisingly forgiving (even when Aaron doesn't think he deserves it).
But after kissing and making up...

And then they played foosball
They head off to play more foosball.
Yeah, I think Aaron is getting frustrated.

And for that matter, I'm tending that way myself. With my mods, the boys have the option to take their romance as far as they want it to go—but there's only so much time in the day around Ghost's work hours (he only works part-time, but may quit anyhow—they can scrape by without the income), and it's easier to splash around in the dingy little pool or play another game of foosball than commit to a relationship. But there is something very sweet about their fumbling advances from friends as close as brothers—into lovers. So for now, I let them set the pace ... but the powers that be have an itchy clicky finger.

Humanizing and obsessing over my sims? You bet! But I've more or less accepted that at this point, these two are telling a story—even if they are just a simulation.

Meanwhile, I also bear pretty and pointless pictures.

To test out some piercings on a wider range of sims, I switched households for a moment (and didn't save after, because I just can't bare to abandon Ghost and Aaron right now)—and went to Tomi's household to find Dominic:

I just liked this shot of Dominic, is all
Chatting to a townie and looking like the handsome devil that he is.

For all my love of Tomi and my fondness for Robert and Jacob's household, I find it's Dominic that I miss playing most. He's not as obviously distinctive but spend a few minutes around him and he's just hilarious. Dominic is a demanding snob with an ego the size of a nation-state and a suspiciously dark heart—and yet he's surprisingly personable and a very convincing flirt.

I've seen him burn waffles to crumbling charcoal, and then turn around and brag to the next passerby about his culinary prowess. I've seen him reject a woman's advances until they shared a long conversation about their shared love for cold hard cash—and then he started hitting on her. I've seen him try to pick up complete strangers, express perfect confusion when they turn him down—and then use another pickup line. He's intelligent and sociable and can't see an inch beyond his own remarkably well-shaped nose, and he is delightful. I miss him.

Oh yeah and he takes pretty photos.

Just Ghost
Likewise Ghost. Aaron is more striking and photogenic, but Ghost—Ghost can be stunning.
