The Steele Family Album: Volume XIX
Back at the Steele family home, there's an important event taking place.
Simon is meeting his daughter Laura for the first time.
But there's also a goodbye to be said - this time to Lucy. And William is actually cheering about it! 😮 Things have been rather frosty between them, ever since he witnessed Lucy's moment of weakness with George, but this is a whole other level of vindictiveness!
And then - perhaps through divine providence - the living room furniture catches fire. Thankfully, the urns containing the ashes of Lucy and Meg on the mantelpiece survive the blaze intact!
Catherine and Simon have also been a little careless again. Or perhaps it was by design this time?
Catherine very sensibly goes into labour in the nursery...
...and gives birth to a second daughter - Rebecca. Let's hear it for recessive genes! She has her great-grandmother's eyes, passed on through her grandmother Kitty.
Shortly after, arriving home from work one evening - with a colleague in tow - karma finally sneaks up on William from behind, in the form of Grim.
He doesn't mind too much. After all, he is going to rest in peace in a tropical paradise - or maybe just to sit on the mantelpiece, next to his fiancée and his cat. Who can say?
Brie is noisily outraged at the departure of her Sim. But Independent Dolly - having no strong bond with the rest of the family - makes the pragmatic decision to try her luck elsewhere, and slopes off alone into the darkness of the night.
Of course, Catherine reports Dolly as missing straight away - she is an elder now, and Catherine is worried about her being out on the streets. But whether she will be seen again is anyone's guess. Cats, after all, are their own masters.

First Tumblr post of 2024, and it's my last drawing for @notsoblackandwhite101 - Cottagecore Dolly (featuring Diesel):
Both characters were unused for the grid aesthetic Drawcember, which gave me the grand ol' opportunity to utilize them, and this was the perfect theme for me to do that. I also decided to go the extra mile of adding a backdrop and combine ink and paint pens to color it, with the basis being the OG Dalmatian family's farm home (which would be appropriate for me to give out one of my little headcanons that the Radcliffe/Dalmatian family farm would later become the 101DS Dalmatian family's vacation home).
For Dolly's attire, I went with a flower crown as the head accessory, a pink collar with a strawberry emblem, a pinafore dress representing the colors of Dolly's original collar, and in her muzzle is a watering can shaped like a dog. Since gardening does require a good amount of digging, Diesel is there too and he is willing to help out.

The Steele Family Album: Volume XIV
Bother, another post that is out of sync! This update is going back in time, to before the latest contingent headed off to uni, but the screenshots got buried in my folder. 😣
Mozzarella has lost his (accidental) blue rinse.
Despite an unpromising start, Erasmus and Louisa have become the best of friends, and they're really pleased that they will soon be moving into the same hall of residence at uni.
He somehow always feels more comfortable outside at night, under his beloved stars, even in the rain.
Ambitious Catherine is still proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the field of medicine. But she's on another mission too...
...to instil some discipline into the wayward household felines.
Mozzarella is utterly disdainful that Meg would stoop to even considering coming when called.
Catherine's training regime is clearly not working - not with Doofus Dolly anyway.
The cats have their own ideas of how to spend their time...
...meet Brie! The delightfully hotchpotch offspring of Mozzarella and Dolly.
