Though he's always kind of resented Helen, so... It wasn't a new thing. And yeah. He didn't need to get all "Oh no you di-ent!" with Layla, but oh well. Layla won't walk on eggshells with him forever. lol. <br /><br />I never do. :) And this generation brought out a lot of raw feelings across the board, I think. lol. Yours wasn't the first rant, and probably won't be the last. The rolls for Generation 3 took this gen on a roller coaster ride and a half. :D ShakespearesSunshynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019826982875949328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-73856572804967785232016-03-24T19:45:45.361-05:002016-03-24T19:45:45.361-05:00I'm glad I'm not the only one ready to sma...I'm glad I'm not the only one ready to smack that boy upside the head for STILL being pissed off at his mother! Grow up! She was a good mother! And so the flip what that Buck isn't his blood father. Still upset about that one. Cyrus is acting like a baby, a toddler that pitches a fit when he doesn't get his way or figures out that the world isn't perfect. And he did NOT need to jump on Layla's case about her getting excited that Helen had grandbabies. He could've answered that in a better way. He could've said the exact same words, but he did not need to jump down her throat, especially since it's all about crap that is in no way her fault.<br /><br />K, so I think Cyrus has joined my sh*t list for now. I get that Layla's happy he's back. I'd be happy if I had a long-lost brother come back, but that doesn't mean he gets to sit and talk crap. He disappeared in a selfish way and DESTROYED the man that raised him as his own. He hurt everyone by doing that. He needs to grow up because his parents, both of them, aren't going to be around forever.<br /><br />Good chapter. Don't take any of my ranting personally. :)mypalsim1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08612512921461620603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-14115821652680177902013-04-11T21:32:07.185-05:002013-04-11T21:32:07.185-05:00Yes, but Galen has Arden so he'll never truly ...Yes, but Galen has Arden so he'll never truly be alone. O_o. *snort. And Layla is still very much an escapist, so no matter how she feels, she abandons everyone when she feels like she needs to get away. Phedra included.<br /><br />They drop a lot more than that, but it took me forever to even remember to drop just those two. They also drop a lot of 'T''s and slur their words and don't move their lips and barely open their jaws. When we first moved there my brother and I were fascinated by the radio since we couldn't even understand half the deejay's. For us, it was like we had moved to a different country! We'd never lived without a Target before either. So that didn't help.<br /><br />Lol! Nope, I was a bit lost at that. 'Ta' is thanks then? I'll have to remember to use that to my BIL who lives over there. Though it might shock him to death, which wouldn't be so good. Hubs' sister might just kill me for killing him with kindness. Ha!<br /><br />Ah, Cyrus. He's got a tough row to hoe coming up. Though he's not the only one.ShakespearesSunshynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019826982875949328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-60752721544941805032013-04-11T16:06:56.828-05:002013-04-11T16:06:56.828-05:00Lol, so weird that dropping 'r's and '...Lol, so weird that dropping 'r's and 'g's is classed as 'hoodspeak' over there. This is how I talk:<br />"'I'yallritemay? Yerrimok ta, wotya do at t'weeken?"<br />Incase you didn't catch that, that was: "Hi, you alright, mate? Yeah, I'm ok, ta(thanks), what did you do at the weekend?"<br />And, for the area I live in, that's pretty normal, and not ghetto at all. Weird thing is, nobody in my family had the accent, they all talk how they do on TV, but I somehow sound like I've been dragged up on the streets.<br />By the way, *thats* why I don't write in my accent, even though thats how all my sims talk in my head LOL! I don't dare type in another accent, either, because the ones I know best are various English ones, and I don't think Americans (who make up 99% of my readers) will know what's going on. Whereas over here, we can understand most 'accents' when written because they're all over TV. Our TV programs tend to have London English, which is about as close to Queens English as the country gets these days.<br /><br />Anyway....<br />Wow, I hadn't thought of it that way. I guess Layla has effectivly been abandoned by both Cyrus and Phedra (feel sorry for Galen, just realised he's been abandoned by all his siblings!), so I can understand her jealousy.<br /><br />And looking forward to getting to know this new rough-tough Cyrus!gemly_teddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384732672776498936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-42166137277694927032013-04-11T13:44:06.763-05:002013-04-11T13:44:06.763-05:00Layla is jealous. Phedra had always been attached ...Layla is jealous. Phedra had always been attached at the hip to Cyrus (or so she thought) and when he ran away Layla was the sibling she substituted in. In the end Layla rather resents Cyrus' relationship with Phedra, past and present. She saw how Cyrus broke Phedra's heart and she's also a little scared that it might happen again. So there's a lot of emotion behind her motives for being upset with Phedra calling Cyrus instead of her. Lots of pent up... stuff.<br /><br />Cyrus has become used to a tougher, and rougher, life. One where his daily safety was in question. He's just got some very thick walls that he didn't used to have. He's not nearly so naïve or trusting any more.<br /><br />I told you about the high school I graduated from. No one spoke "Midwestern accent transfers to Nowhere, Mississippi" and it wasn't until I learned the lingo that anyone could even understand me. Actually, several kids had a lot of fun trying to teach me 'hoodspeak. They thought it was hilarious that the incredibly sheltered white girl couldn't drop her 'r's and 'g's they way they could. I bet it's somewhat universal just because of tv and radio. After all, Kanye and Snoop sell albums there as well as here.ShakespearesSunshynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019826982875949328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-53715842851546287662013-04-11T12:44:07.356-05:002013-04-11T12:44:07.356-05:00Ok, sorry that 'later' took 2 days, but he...Ok, sorry that 'later' took 2 days, but here goes:<br />On second read, Layla was worrying about Phedra irrationally. Of course Phedra is going to spend more time on the phone to the sibling who ran away all those years ago! Think how much more they have to say to each other!<br />Still, I'm pretty sure Layla was worried for a reason, and Phedra will have some dark secret. I mean, it's in the title.<br /><br />Still upset with how angry Cyrus gets just at the mention of his mother, but I'll get over it. I hope. It is upsetting that both Cyrus and Olivia are denying their daughters their grandparents, though.<br />(Also, loled so hard at the 7 C's joke. Both originally, and during re-reading)<br /><br />Anyway, I didn't know you spoke gangster! I wonder how different the UK version is? I can't think of anything to translate into UK-ghetto-talk right now, and I know the US from TV.gemly_teddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384732672776498936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-51655085254864221562013-04-09T17:28:03.541-05:002013-04-09T17:28:03.541-05:00*giggles.

I'm a little worried about his stability as well.

Really, he blames her for his running away too. It would probably take a lot of mellowing for him to finally see that it was his own doing.<br /><br />Ah, Phedra.

Ha! <br /><br />And yes, he's not just closing out Helen, but also Buck. Simmering resentment and misplaced blame and all that mumbo jumbo. All Helen's kids blame her in one way or another. Except Galen. In that case Arden would be the one blaming her since he doesn't think without her permission.<br /><br />As to Phedra, yup!

And what's up with Phedra, talking to him so much, when she only occasionally called her parents? <br /><br />I guess personal experience with my own mother makes it not so surprising that Cyrus is so bitter and adamant about not having anything to do with Helen. Helen was a good mother, but she did insist on dictating a lot of her opinions and prejudices when it came to the kids.<br /><br />But enough of that, now I want to see more of Ned and the Whistling Stranger! {ℳ}https://www.blogger.com/profile/02869880226899470327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-3753811629234405842013-04-09T14:11:53.976-05:002013-04-09T14:11:53.976-05:00I'm glad Cyrus is staying and it was nice to h...I'm glad Cyrus is staying and it was nice to hear about his kids.

I would have thought by now that Cyrus could have forgiven Helen. It's sad that he won't even register that she's his mother, because she was a good mother. I know, I'd be hurt too if I found out my dad wasn't my dad, but you'd think he could forgive his own flesh and blood after this long.<br /><br />And, Phedra, you bitch. Clearly she's lying about something. Not happy.<br /><br />Phew, bitches everywhere!! :p<br /><br />I had something else to say, but I've forgotton at the moment.

I loved hearing about what ...Yay! Cyrus is staying!<br />I loved hearing about what he and Olivia did to survive. Especially the queen of the zombies part, lol.<br />So, I feel like there's something fishy about what is going on with Phedra. You know, that she has time/money/access to a phone when it comes to Cyrus but not so much for her other family members...<br />I hope we get to hear from her again.<br />I don't blame Cyrus at all for wanting Helen out of his life. But I feel bad for Buck that he won't know his grandkids.<br /><br />Oh, and, whenever I see someone type 'Thank the Maker' or something like that, I hear it in Alistair's voice, lol.yangthecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083940950118677312noreply@blogger.com
