media with healing magic really ought to get more in the weeds about it tbh
get kinda Icky and Medical about it, how does the healer stitch flesh and blood vessels and nerve endings back together, does it hurt when those nerves reconnect? is it euphoric? is it a little bit of both?
if the healer can manipulate the living body like that, what stops them doing it in reverse? can a sufficiently skilled healer yank the nerves out through a victim's pores?
if 'necromancy' exists as a concept in the setting: how is that any different? should it be? is schlorping a severed limb back onto its owner's body _really_ meaningfully different from resurrecting the whole body as some kind of undead creature?
can healing magic be used to do ~weird shit~ with the endocrine system of a person? could a healer just juice someone with a shitload of estrogen, for fun or pleasure?

What features would your ideal cozy sim include?
Just been thinking about Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, and all the other cozy sims I've encountered, and I've been trying to figure out what features are most important? Idk, I know I don't have the power to spark discussion, but if anyone's got thoughts, I wanna hear em.
Like, what's most important? The growth? The relationships? The way things change over time? The real-time features? The decorating or customization?
Or to put it a different way, what are your favorite things in your simulation games? What makes them special?
#reblog#a really good daily gameplay loop#and great characters with growth for both the player and the town/world at large#I'm kinda being vague here but that's what springs to mind the most#on top of making sure each season is distinct with specific festivals that add to the world building#Day and night too need to be distinct with character schedules hinting at their connections to other people and their job#but yeah seeing the town change over time with the characters having character arcs throughout the game is my weakness#but make sure to separate town events from heart events#I love seeing characters interact with each other but it kills my interest if they never interact with my player character in exchange#And I don't just mean romantically. Have the local asshat try and screw up my fields with an option to beat them into the dirt for it.#player choices with consequences my beloved#oh and since it's a cozy game idea I'll leave out the dark politicking/themes with yearly hidden timed events at the doorstep#why yes I'd like to bring in a random stranger left frozen in the cold outskirts to the local clinic#or hear about issues plaguing neighboring towns that later show up as new NPCs with character arcs#or just having crafting become an integral part to world building based on the country at large needing them for certain reasons#but now I'm just speaking about what I'd personally want from a farming sim#like a bathhouse to restore stamina every day that is used by the town at large#Yes I know I'm weird for liking that my character can clean themselves each day instead of going to bed covered in fertilizer each night#The entire town is a stage for telling character stories - make sure to use it in its entirety#through both schedules small talk and all types of events

Hopper is actually not always mean, only most of the time :) The scarecrow got the brunt of her attitude here.
The Swordfish and Hopper Heraldic pins are still here for a week! They’ve found almost 400 homes by now, which I am so grateful for. Here’s the link if you’d like to grab the pair too:
