So I was going through my old screenshots, and I was reminded how I'd forgotten to include a shot of Byron talking to the bartender in chapter 5 but was too lazy to update both my forum post AND my WP post, so I just said to heck with it and left it out. Look familiar?
@cshaner Poor Birdsongs, so easily forgotten...and they even had a cameo in a certain recent-ish Lysander chapter!
It's funny that Saul was in the story from the beginning but that a mistake on my part kept him out. Like many of my characters, he's the descendant of a couple I made on another save file, so I'm extra fond of him. San Myshuno is populated by almost all babies from that file...and speaking of nooboos, I just found out what Reed and Mina are having. Poor Saul, rofl--he's lucky he got out of there when he did. And for some reason Bianca is already showing and Mina isn't, despite Mina getting pregnant first--weird!
If Bianca took a pregnancy test, and Mina didn't, that might be why she's showing. Taking the test speeds things up by a day. Maybe Saul was moonlighting? Either that or he rose quickly through the ranks of the police force --probably because he's the manliest.

That happens if your sim uses the pregnancy. They will show faster. Well, that's what I've observed in my Amazon tribe.
I am not looking at any of the comments in this thread, just wanna share my excitement that I'm only 10 chapters away from catching up! I can finally join in the discussion here this weekend. Can't wait!
I made Bianca take a pregnancy test or not. I usually don't bother since I know what everyone's having with MCCC, though I wanted to be surprised by Reed and Mina's--but I checked to make sure the pregnancy was still a thing. When I found Mina, she was still in her "work clothes" from Graham's shop. ROFL. Proud mama, everyone!
And congrats on almost catching up, @CitizenErased14! You're so close! There's a lot of lobster thermidor in your future... Oops, don't look at that spoiler, Citizen. Forgot you're not caught up, ahahaha...
Finally I had some time to continue reading, and oh boy were there many new chapters waiting to be read.
And so I did! I enjoyed every single chapter since the last time I commented.
I love how you handle the intimate scenes in your story, the screenshots are so good!
Loved these screens...I loved the others too tho, its hard to pick a favorite.
So cute!
The one with the mirror was absolutly hilarious oh my god.
Also I am glad to know Bianca is expecting, I am reaaaaally curious to see her and Lysander's child!!
(Well honestly there were also many sentences and other screens which made me scream in the middle of the night, I am glad I didnt wake up anybody.)
I love how bold Penny is, and how she is chasing Byron.
Poor bat...
This screen killed me:
I am also very interested to see how Daya's request will go and what will happen of Isla.
Love the way you write, the dialogs are so good and witty. The characters are all loveable. I am having a great time reading your story.
Cant wait for the next chapter!!
@LadyLobster now I could look under that spoiler I wonder also if there's some kind of story progression option in MCC that's maybe slowing down the progression in households you don't currently control? I've noticed the pregnancy test thing as well, so that's also a possibility! (Or the Blackwell curse is tied to the Rosebrook curse and its multiples so she's showing a lot more )
@CitizenErased14 Where's the trophy emoji when I need it? Or would you prefer a Byron Buttshot like some other people would? Congrats on catching up! I don't think the pregnancy has to do with MCCC settings, since Reed and Mina are marked played too. But I don't play them like I do Saul, who's currently living in that motel with Daya.
@Keks_Milch OMG, thanks so much for all the sweet comments and compliments! I loved those screens too, but the mirror one made me cackle like a hyena with a headcold. I've already seen what the contents of Bianca's belly look like, ROFL. I'm so impatient! I think I really am going to start a second save file and let my characters raise their families before I actually get to that point in the story, which will take FOREVER. Penny's and Lysander's chapters were so much fun to write, so I'm glad you enjoyed them (and those particular screenshots). Lysander seems to hate Count von Batstein as much as Byron loves him...strange! I'm so glad you're enjoying reading.
I know that some of my chapters in particular (the infamous Chapter 26: Lysander in Fairyland) have been crashing phone browsers or at least making it very difficult to read them. I've gone back and resized the images in that chapter as well as a couple others--apparently having screenshots in a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution and not resizing them before uploading to imgur isn't the greatest idea...whoops. So if anyone notices any phone-killing chapters in the future, please let me know! It's a slow process to edit them all, but at least I conquered that one.
@CitizenErased14 Saul will not be happy, LOL. Sauron can (probably) be arranged...at least half of Sauron will enjoy the manliness!
Omg PLEASE. My guilty pleasure ship must live. Even if it's in some crazy fantasy or an out of context/gratuitous screenshot. I'd be able to die happy (Though... would our eyes be able to handle such manliness? )

And ooh, you're offering Byron butt shots? A much better reward than I was expecting... (Saul shower shots are also an acceptable trophy... hehehe)
New/better request: "Sauron" That ship will forever live on in my heart (and Byron's wet dreams, I hope )

Ahhhh! *swoon* that was a beautiful moment, wasn't it?! Especially with Lysander standing there sputtering.
Thank you, Momma Duck, for that Saturday morning Throwback Thursday moment of bliss and squee'ing
