Upon commencing The Politico-Sigefrithian, I immediately realized that I could never neatly summarize the historical context of early 1067 in the little space available to me at the top of the page.
Verily, I thought, Pre-Lotherian History should be an article in its own right… so I wrote one. Never dreaming how many hours it would take. *sigh*
So here you go: “The History of the Hwalas” — all the foreign kings, all the family scandal.
That's something else entirely! That's more like going on a vacation you expect to last three weeks... and then you get an apartment and never leave. I should have taken my best guess of how long it would take (a few months, as it happened) and multiplied by infinity.
Are those young versions of Alred, Sigefrith, and Matilda over there?
Why yes they are! I took some extra pictures for fun when I shot "Matilda meets the fairy tale king". Sigefrith is so cute with his sunburned cheeks. *imagines peeling nose* 
I just can't get over how well that hair suits Matilda. That's one of my favorite female hairs and I find most female sims look good with it, but there is something special about Matilda that just makes it magical. Perhaps Gwynn could use that hair if she decides to grow hers out a little? *hint*
*adjusts monocle* Could be the way it frames her bust...
I haven't reached that chapter yet 
*imagines everyone staring at Gwynn's chest, while Finn stares at her hair, thinking how much he'd love to braid it*
I approve 
That is an awesome idea... though you know, Finn would find the hair-braiding equally erotic as breast-fondling.
PS. you should read that chapter At ONCE! It's a prologue chapter so technically it comes before all of them except 2.
Yeah, I know! And Gwynn would think it's sooo erotic. And he would agree with that naughty smile of his, without ever explaining to her the actual meaning of erotic or anything. Hahaha.
Awesome! I'll read it right now then!
Finn would more likely be totally embarrassed and blush red from nose to ears. He's already wondering whether he has the definition of "erotic" correct.
Where is that hair from? I don't have it *wants*
I love the shots of Matilda from that chapter. She looks so young and rosy-cheeked and snuggable. *Loves*
Uh... I want to say it's from Rose (probably via the pirate site), but I'm not entirely sure. I'll check the next time I fire up my game, which will probably be later tonight--my downloads folder is a mess.
You know, it would be so awesome if neither Finn nor Gwynn ever learned the correct meaning of "erotic", and their meaning rubbed off on their children, and there came to be A WHOLE FAMILY with a completely different definition of the word "erotic" 
I thought Rose but I didn't see that hair in the free or donation section on the site. Possibly Peggy. Is it possible to read the creator in the game when you pick hairs? I don't remember that being possible for clothing and so forth.
I am sure the true meaning of erotic will come out sooner rather than later, since Meggie knows of Gwynn's confusion, and is bound to tell Emmie. If not also Conrad for simultaneous boy-slumber-party / girl-slumber-party LULZ. 
Yeah, if you hover over CC in CAS, it will give a little blurb which normally includes the site. This also works with hairs while changing appearance in-game, but not with clothing, as it says the price instead, which is of course totally useless for those of us who don't actually play
It would be interesting if they both found out separately, but around the same time, and then they each simultaneously tried to enlighten the other 
Heheh... they would both find it excruciatingly embarrassing, and yet they're both kind-hearted enough that they would feel obliged to do the enlightening before that poor stupid boy/girl made a fool of him/herself. And how adorable would it be if they simultaneously attempted to explain.... all stuttering and blushing...
...and then something interesting happens!! "What time is it, Gwynn?" "First kiss time!" OMNOMNOM
simultaneous boy-slumber-party / girl-slumber-party! Now that would make for an excellent chapter. Or a side story, like Lothere High. Maybe a sequel to Lothere High? Hahaha.
And boy I totally see that whole exchange happening, with Gwynn feeling all superior and grown-up for knowing and Finn being utterly embarrassed. For more reasons than one *wink wink*
Just wanted to say that it's a Raon hair, I believe; one of the earlier ones, and it's not binned.
I do love the idea of them trying to tell each other the actual meaning of 'erotic'. Imagine if they had that conversation and ended up confusing each other all over again?
Thanks Ri
It's one of their donation hairs, but here's the link via the pirate site (it's Hair #30): http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/booty/ts2/raonsims/femalehair/
Alas, it is true that it is not binned. Therefore, do not allow a sim out of CAS with that hair unless you have Sim PE. Change to that hair in game only, or terrible things will happen with the genetics.
Thanks Ri! And Van! Very awesome of you! (err... on behalf of Cassie, since I already have the hair. 
)
It would quite amusing if they convinced each other that Gwynn was actually right in the first place.
"Wait, you mean--"
"No, it's more like--"
"But I thought--"
"I know! That's what I thought!"
"That's what I thought too!"
"Erotic!"
"It just means romantic!"
"Pertaining to love!"
"You're cute when your ears are red!"
"You're cute when you shake your tail!"
*smack* *shove* *OMNOMNOM*
Too cute! Gwynn and Finn have ENDLESS romantic comedy potential. ENDLESS.
And thanks for the hair tip, dearies!
No more WIN scenarios, please! I'm dying here!
*runs to re-read their chapters*

You mean kinda like when you started this story, never dreaming how many YEARS it would take? :p
