🍊 + 🌽!!!

🍊- If you could change one thing in the franchise, what would it be and why?

HMMMM Good question… while the series is pretty good on brown male love interests, it’s pretty lacking in brown girls?? There are only 4 in the series and 2 of them are twins, vs… at least 9, brown guys, if not more. I think its getting better, but it still has a long way to go in that regard.

I think as far as other changes go, its things that are in some things but not in other, so I don’t think that counts.

🌽- What crops and/or animals would you like to see added to future game?

PLEASE GIVE MATSUYAMA THE PET TURTLES THEY HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR FOR 25 YEARS MARVELOUS. THEY DESERVE IT.

Hibiscus is a big one for crops!! It’s one of my favorite flowers and I’d love to grow them and make things with them. I think adding the hybridizing crops function in AWL to be other games would be fun too. And those flowers that grow at night could add an interesting variation to gameplay!!

@jake-marshall replied to your post “I picked up to play Harvest Moon Tales of two...”:

I love ToTT too and I have very few complaints about it but my BIG one is how hard it is to make money and coupling that with renovations only once a season.... (and being forced into building the tunnel). Lol it literally makes it that I can't recommend the game to people as an intro to the series bc of how absolutely frustrating that is. Shop inventory being random weirdly never bothered me but I HATED when it'd start raining midday and boom shops would close like COME ON.

​I knoooow! There are so many things I love about ToTT! The colours! The music is so good! I love that you can choose if you want to focus on crops or on animals. I really enjoy scaling the mountain each day. HANDFISHING! The characters are adorable and the request board tells little stories about them. The german translation is riddled with mistakes but that is something that I have to expect from any Natsume translated game. The shops are a little less upsetting in Bluebell. But if you are in Konohana, you'll need seeds and then when you finally catch Gombe opening his shops, he sells the WRONG seeds! It's AAAAAH!

Kiss prompt #35 for Wayne/Kasumi or Frank/Miranda

Thanks for playing along! I had to do Frank/Miranda for an awkward kiss after a first date. I love those two and I wish the game did a little more with their relationship.

(Did maybe something experimental and did no dialogue with this one. Idk why it just started working out that way)

💋💋💋💋

It had been a lovely afternoon. There was at least that. If nothing else came from this day, at least there would be memories of a lovely afternoon spent in good company.

Miranda had long given up on the thought of Frank taking a fancy to her. After years of friendship, of singing and playing together, of professional partnership, of dropping hints that never got picked up, Miranda just had to accept that Frank was not interested. Whether he was disinterested in relationships in general or just in a relationship with her, she couldn’t say for certain. But she had stopped holding her breath for invitations to dinner or drinks at the bar.

But then Frank’s niece had moved in and in the process of settling into her own farm and life she’d shaken up a number of things in town. She’d revivified their sleepy little town, helping complete projects that had long been abandoned. She’d brought friends closer together and helped forge new friendships all up and down the mountain.

Miranda suspected she had Frank’s niece to thank in part for encouraging him to work up the nerve to ask her out. She’d also caught the farmer receiving pep talks from Wayne a couple of times, so the postman probably had some hand in it as well.

Still, the invitation had come to Miranda as quite a surprise. It was a quiet afternoon in the general store, Frank had ducked in to chat while he waited out a passing summer rainstorm. They’d shared the usual pleasantries and small talk until Frank took his hat in his hands, fidgeting with the brim as he stuttered out his desire to go on a picnic with Miranda.

There had been some back and forth as Miranda tried to probe out if this was a friendly picnic and Noel was expected to join, or something meant for just the two of them. Frank took a minute to admit it was meant as a date, but Miranda accepted instantly.

On her next day off, Miranda sent Noel off to play at Colin’s until dinner time, she’d put on a nice sundress, and made sure to prepare her contribution to the picnic. Frank had insisted he would take care of everything, but Miranda insisted she bring the lemonade and some fresh-baked cookies. Frank arrived promptly at one with a large basket tucked into the crook of one arm, wearing what looked like a new shirt. It was nice on him.

They walked together through town and then out heading off towards the waterfall. It was the height of summer, a beautiful day where occasional fluffy clouds crossed the clear blue sky. The greenery near the riverside was lush, flowers bloomed in abundance, birds sang in the brush and trees overhead, and when the wind shifted the cool mist of the falls blew over them, providing a moment of refreshment from the summer heat. The picnic was a lovely feast, if simple fare. Sandwiches and chips, fresh fruits and vegetables, sweet cookies, all paired wonderfully with the cool lemonade.

Their time spent together was lovely as well. The afternoon passed in easy conversation and light laughter. They treaded familiar topics, testing the waters of what this might become before they broached more serious matters. It was a first date, after all, not a marriage proposal.

As the afternoon began to turn to evening, they packed up their picnic, both Frank and Miranda had chores to do. The afternoon had been pleasant, but there was real life to get back to. Still, Miranda would very much like to have another pleasant afternoon like this.

Frank escorted Miranda back to her store. They paused on the sidewalk outside her door, lingering over a goodbye, over how to say it. It was Miranda’s turn to be brave.

She leaned in slowly, giving Frank the chance to pull back if he wanted to, and pressed a gentle kiss to his lips. He was clearly stunned by the kiss, freezing up beneath her, so Miranda didn’t linger. She looked into his eyes as she stepped back, he was surprised, but pleasantly so.

Miranda smiled and winked, and then turned for her door, promising Frank she’d see him tomorrow.

You actually can add emojis in comments (or summaries or anything really); obv the emoji buttons on mobile but on laptop/desktop, using the windows button + the . (Period) button will open a menu w emoji/kamojis among other things

:O

I tried using the windows key method, but it seems selecting the emoji doesn't do anything ^^;

But when I'm on mobile I'll definitely keep that in mind :D

For the WIP word let's go with "terrible"

Getting back to my computer this evening! Thanks for playing!

Terrible crops up several times in my current WIPs (almost to the point where I'm sitting here going "oh no am I overusing it?" but not really, not when two of the uses are in the same sentence lmao)

Anyways this one's from my Hobbit WIP, How Far Ahead the Road Had Gone.

She had made a terrible, terrible mistake.

repeating the word for emphasis. Emphasis!

WIP Guessing Game: Send me a word (or more) and Ill share the sentence it shows up in from my WIPs!

🍉 and 🎈for the fic asks!

🍉in what ways has writing helped you process trauma and/or navigate through your own life? OH BOY, this is a topical question! I often find my writing contains undercurrents of whatever trauma I'm currently being Most Affected By, occasionally on purpose but most frequently by accident.

Sometimes this is because I'm not actively aware that I am going through something traumatic, such as how the vast majority of my Ace Attorney fics from a decade ago about either generational trauma or internalised queerphobia, or occasionally, both! Other times, I'm just slow on the uptake. For example, survivor guilt is one of the running themes of my most recent Dragon Age fic, and I knew this from the outset! But it was only in hindsight that I realised it was very specifically about survivor guilt in the aftermath of a suicide, and I was writing it at the time of year that my own survivor guilt about such a situation is at its height 🥴

Or, in other words:

In terms of navigating my own life, the biggest impact of writing upon my own life (outside the aforementioned processing of trauma) is in the exploration of my queer identity: as many other people my age, I wasn't exposed to many queer characters in mainstream media, and the ones who did exist weren't relatable to me at all. It's really through fandom that I found, and later created, stories that were relatable to my own feelings and relationships. 🎈 describe your style as a writer; is it fixed? does it change?

Answered here!

AceAttober day 27: Wound

[ID]A portrait oriented, sequential illustration based on dialogue spoken by Lana Skye from Ace Attorney, which is written in capital letters across the piece. At the top, it reads "Even though he was already dead", next to Lana's hand, gloved, which is gripping a knife. The background is black. Underneath, the same hand illustration is duplicated, with higher saturation and motion blur created with raking brush strokes, accompanied by the text "My hands were shaking at the thought". Underneath, the hand illustration is again duplicated, again at a higher saturation, without motion blur, now with the knife handle visible on the other side of the thumb (indicating that her hand slipped). The text reads "of stabbing him." The background is still black, but in the foreground in front of the hand, beams of light lead into a white background, on which text reads "That's why", above dripping blood. Underneath, the background fades to black again, with Lana's hand in the foreground again, saturated blue at the fingertips and drawn much more roughly, with a double-vision effect on the outline, which is thick black raked lines. There is a red raked line across her hand, and underneath it a cut across her palm is visible, which has also cut open her glove. Some of her palm skin is visible. Across her hand, it reads "I ended up cutting my hand." She holds her right hand at the wrist with her left, her thumb pressed into the base of her palm. Her wrist is visible underneath the glove, with a blue vein visible down the middle of it. [End ID]

Bonus: inspired by a piece by Theo van den Boogaard (and this picture)

[zephyr-bazaar]

Even tho I know some of your favorite ships based on the Exchange, would you like to share any fave HMSoS rarepairs/crackships? :3 (esp. STH/HoLV/MM related since I've been balls deep in StH the past 3 weeks.)

HM… I saw a Kurt/Gotz pic a while back and I REALLY liked that!!

It’s kind of hard to think of rare pairs specifically, but I also think Carl/Katie and Louis/Ann are cute!! Way cuter than their canon pairs (Sorry Joe and Lyla LMAO

When I was a teen and Desperate For Yaoi I liked Mikhail/Ivan as well, but that’s fallen by the wayside since I just straight up started self inserting as Oliver.

Wayne/Ludus is also cute!!

WAIT ALSO: Wayne/Frank I CANT BELIEVE I ALMOST FORGOT THAT ONE. Just a twink and his daddy making it through the world… I hate when people marry Wayne because they’re doing their uncle who let you into his home when nobody else would dirty.

Is Huang/Zack rare?? Because I always loved that and I think the same of people who marry Wayne but with Huang LMAO

Also Rod/Allen!! Or Rod/Neil actually probably Rod/Neil

WAAAAAAAAAAAY back in middle school I liked Julius/Luna but now I prefer Julius and his canon beautiful transgender wife.

OH idk if it’s a rarepair or not but a close friend just said Giorgio/Marian I LOVE GIORGIO/MARIAN SO MUCH ITS ONE OF MY FAVE BOKUMONO SHIPS PERIOD

Those are the biggest ones I can think of!! My big ships are usually more common ones like Luke/Gil (luv Luke/Gil) or Dia/Gina

(also wrt your username I love Kazuma/Sherlock in DGS)
