#LGG Love Notes

[lokisgoodgirl]

Loves! Friends! Lurkers! I come bearing news that it has been one whole year since I arrived on Tumblr😱 God knows how many stories read, written and 3.7k Loki-lovers later, I'm feeling rather existential about the whole thing.

I can't think of a more appropriate way to party than celebrating the comradery and community we have, and that I love. So with that in mind I present...

LOVE NOTES🤗

Send me an Ask (ideally with your name, but Anon also welcome!) saying something nice about someone else, and let's give them a cheer! That's it! Some ideas...

Someone you admire or are proud of and you just want them to know

Someone who deserves to have in b&w that they are awesome, funny, weird-as-fuck but you love them all the same

Someone who's helped you, cheered you on or just always there to be a thirsty shoulder to rest your weary hoe

An amazing story/piece of art you enjoyed recently

Someone crucial to your fandom ✨experience✨

A reader who always makes you smile

One account/special person per Ask please, but send as many as you darn like! All replies will be tagged with #LGG Love Notes

This will be very casual, let's say until June 24🌹

Thanks for letting me into your world.

LGG xx

@lotsoflokilove23 You say you aren’t important I have someone who might change your opinion. Oooh burden with glorious purpose *says in a sing song voice*.

Loki: *looks to @anukulee* Again?

@anukulee: Yes, again.

Loki: *exhales* Okay, what is it this time, and when should I expect the half rate wizard?

@anukulee: I will have you know Strange and I made an agreement.

Loki: And that was?

@anukulee: As long as I kept you from stabbing anyone especially me and didn’t mess with pre-determained events. I was fine, plus I do have some black mail on him.

Loki: *exhales once more* Do I want to know?

@anukulee: Likely not now, it’s time for you to meet the newest member of your army *pushes @lotsoflokilove23 forward gently*.

Loki: *looks over @lotsoflokilove23* I see well may I say you have fine taste in terms of gods. As for you can leave *looks at @anukulee*.

@anukulee: Always a pleasure mischief.

Loki: Must you with that name?

@anukulee: Yes, always, but I suppose I shall get to the point.

Loki: Yes, you shall *glances over @lotsoflokilove23 again*.

@anukulee: Well as mentioned before @lotsoflokilove23 is one of our newest members so I thought, we should welcome her accordingly.

Loki: *licks his lips* Welcome her, we shall.

@anukulee: *gently swats him on the shoulder* If she is a minor you aren’t doing anything with her.

Loki: To me you are all minors.

@anukulee: Yes, but unless you want to be arrested I would suggest you keep your hands off until you know.

Loki: And who said it was going to be that way. I have other means in welcoming her *wiggles eyebrows*.

@anukulee: Whatever you say mischief, I am out. Strange *calls out*.

Dr. Strange: Well then let us go, I would prefer not to interfere anymore then we already have.

@anukulee: Says the man who threw a secret party at Kamar-Taj.

Dr. Strange: I hate that you know that.

@anukulee: Yeah, yeah now let’s go before mischief does something.

Dr. Strange: Fine, *summons another portals, and looks at Loki and @lotsoflokilove23* I would say it was a pleasure.

Loki: But it wasn’t.

Dr. Strange: I am glad we agree *at this both @anukulee and Dr. Strange exit*.

Loki: *looks at @lotsoflokilove23* So what shall I do with you? Feel free to suggest anything, for I am here to serve you in whatever you might need.

If anyone wants one then feel free to request and I shall see what I can do.

[jitteryjive]

OK since i have prominent new followers: i’m going to self-promote my writing because why not LOL. of course you can read my writing on ao3 here but here’s the promotion for my major pieces (VIEW UNDER THE CUT)

let’s get groovy! is a paper mario: the origami king (pmtok as i abbreviate it) fic i’m currently writing. while it’s not 100% required you watch or play pmtok for it that’ll help with the lore. lgg! is an autistic love story essentially about king shroomses and dj toad, where i work on my theory + headcanon that shroomses froze himself pseudo-cryogenically and wakes up in late 2020 only to end up being roommates with dj to ‘learn how the century works’. the story is rated teen for canon-typical violence (fighting, injury) and swearing, also they do talk about/smoke weed at some point. this fic is my magnum opus and why i say autistic love story it’s both appreciation OF it and also. shroomses and dj being autistic. it’s also a big focus on the history and culture of early ancient egypt (shroomses is the first egyptian king in pmtok lore), so if you’re also a huge fan of ancient history/specifically ancient egypt, this story is for you! it’s more cultural aspects, like for example kissing and how affection + pda was treated in ancient times, or how shroomses views dj with spite and undiagnosed autism early in the story

crime express is my huge oc story that is posted about a lot here, notably with ruth (protagonist), blu (antagonist), tulip (deuteragonist), so forth. new followers are here for cuphead so you’ll all be happy to know this is my complete accidental replica of who framed roger rabbit? (genuine). it takes place in an alternate 1937 where toons and humans are both existent, but toons are discriminated against (called animatism). due to the time period, required note this has no references to WWII, hence the alternate title, also because the continents are vastly different. the story’s setting is the luxury express, a leisure train that goes across the continent in seven days. (scary music) also where the luxury incident happened in 1933 where blu portobello, now known as the azure shapeshifter for being a toon shapeshifter, mutated a bunch of humans and turned them into toons, and fled with a memory wipe. (ruth remembers.) ruth dextrose, who was there when the incident happened, is paid to return to the express four years later and the story turns into a murder mystery when one of the nine other passengers gets turned into a toon and yeah that was definitely blu. the issue is that blu isn’t there, meaning ruth has to figure who they’re shapeshifting as. since it’s a mystery, i tag all the big spoilers posted here on my blog. the reason i’m promoting this specifically to the new followers is that ruth was based off of mugman and blu was based off of cuphead, both with the show and the game, and the story carries a lot of inspiration from cuphead ^_^

Love Note Incoming! 💌

Because my time management and perception sucks ass I completely missed the deadline for LGGs Love Notes - so now I’m just sending you mine directly ♥️

By now we’ve known each other for quite a time actually! I still remember when you first started answering my comments and reblogs on Mayari - you were so sweet and kind, I got so excited because I didn’t really interact with a lot of people back then🥹

You’re one of the people making our time here so awesome, I cherish and adore you incredibly my love.

to hopefully an endless time of even more thirsty fun and joy in the future 🫶

I will never forget you, my dear Sara! And I will always love you and sing your praises!

If it wasn't for you, I don't think I would have continued writing. I don't think I would've gotten the confidence to put myself out there. You are the fuel to my engine and the muse to my inspiration. You support so many other writer's out here with your positive attitude and unmistakable charm.

I am so honored that you chose me to be a friend. Thank you lovely! 🥰😘🥰

[lokiandbuckysdoll]

So I wanted to send you a love note through LGG's event going on, but I missed her deadline. I was trying to space out my requests so that I wouldn't bog her down with ASKS.

But I don't want you to think that I have ever forgotten about your sweet wonderful self! Thank you so much for sharing your culture with me! I love seeing pics that you share and especially your nails! lol. You are such a gem and a wonderfully talented person!

I love you dear! Keep on being your bad-ass self 😍

aww, mochie I love you so much!🥺🫂 thank you for this sweet and kind message I truly appreciate it and you are an incredible person and friend! Thank you for always supporting me 🫂💗💗

[sarahscribbles]

Helllooooo my lovely...So I wanted to send you love notes, but I was late in getting in my last couple of requests to LGG> I wanted to space them out, so I wouldn't overburden her...BUT then I missed her deadline...

That shouldn't stop me from sending you my love though. I don't need an event to tell you how much I love you! 🥰

When I first started lurking on Tumblr, I kept seeing your posts and your stories and I ate them up!!! I would also see your interactions with your mutuals and you were always so cool and so giving. I remember saying to myself, "Wow! I want to be friends with her!"

You are one of the most talented, gracious, and strongest women I know. Life sucks, and we commiserate together sometimes, but you always come out on top! You always stay positive and golden.

I'm so glad I get to call you a friend now. No joke, sometimes I still fangirl over you and your writing!!!

Don't ever look back, babes. Always look forward and ahead. But if you do happen to look back, just know that I'll be behind you 100%.

Mochie, I’m fucking crying into my coffee. You don’t even know what this means to me.

You are such a beautiful soul who has made me laugh so much and so often. I’m so grateful that I get to call you a friend 💚💚

LGG’s Long Gone Days Chapter 1 (pre-update) Review

A year in the making!

PREFACE

In April 2018, I played through Long Gone Days for the second time. I had more of a critical eye after my first run through, and I wanted to write down my impressions. However, I got incredibly busy and wasn’t able to publish my initial reactions. As of now, I have played through the story a third time, alternating endings all the way, and even though the game is getting a MAJOR update probably soon, I figured I might as well post my thoughts and suggestions here!

SPOILERS BELOW

THE GOOD STUFF

Let me start off by saying that the art is phenomenal. I’ve loved it ever since the first demo was released in 2016, and it’s honestly one of the best looking RPGs I’ve played in a long, long time. The characters are interesting and have lots of room for growth, the music is atmospheric and cool, the devs are responsive, the story is unique, and the community is new and exciting! There’s so many good things. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve shared this game with. One of my friends even backed the indiegogo along with me!

As with any up-and-coming Early Access title, there’s bound to be mistakes or mechanics that could be optimized better. I’ve found many things that have the potential to make a greater impact on the player if done a little differently. However, I am no video game developer, so if any of my suggestions on the technical side are impossible, just know it’s not my intention to make the team do 500 more hours of work. :P

LET’S GET INTO IT!

There are different categories of issue. They will be sorted chronologically and marked as CONSISTENCY, GAMEPLAY, LANGUAGE, STORY, or TYPO.

TYPO: A pretty crucial one! The directions tell you to press X to shoot the drones in the tutorial, but when pressed, X does nothing. Z is the correct key.

CONSISTENCY: There should be a period after the word "half". All other notes at this point end in complete sentences, so it feels strange to not end the same way.

CONSISTENCY: The lowercase b in "Power bar" should be "Power Bar" since it appears that way in the Consumables menu, and it is properly capitalized when another one is picked up later on.

STORY: It's a little strange that the Shooting Range Clerk can fix a broken elevator card. I would've never related the quest to him; I actually didn't solve it the first time because I didn't think talking to the clerk was worth it. Unless there's a briefly explained in-story reason for him knowing how to fix them, another NPC beside him or even a sign with something akin to "Repair" in the description would give the quest direction more of a hint. (Just as an aside, it would be neat to return to the Kitchen Clerk and discuss what you saw thanks to the fixed card!)

TYPO: The description should read "has run out of batteries" and not "has ran". It would read "ran" if it were simple past tense (The watch ran out of batteries), but not when it's the past participle (anything with has/have). 

LANGUAGE: You could say "The following series of exercises only take five minutes at the time...", meaning it would only take 5 minutes to do them on the field, but it may flow better with the way the phrase is most commonly used, "...only take five minutes at a time", or just shortening it to "...only take five minutes."

TYPO: Instead of "Why are we hiding for?" it should either be "What are we hiding for?" or "Why are we hiding?"

TYPO: The real hut code is 07734, but afterwards, it states in both the Quest List and the Notes that it is 007734, which is incorrect.

CONSISTENCY: The Quests for Kaliningrad are available in the menu a little early. You have access to them before you get to the stone bridge on the right and fight The Core soldiers for the first time. The player hasn’t even met Ivan at this point.

TYPO: This is the beginning of the quest. "Found" should be "Find" since we haven't actually found her sister yet.

TYPO: “Forget” should be "I almost forgot", since "I told you I'd bring cake" is past tense.

GAMEPLAY: The "find the items" prompt only appears AFTER you collect the first item for Gleb's mother. Before that, it's just "convince the mother to go to Gleb's house". It would make more sense for the description to switch immediately to "Find the items" after she tells you which items she needs. (Sidenote: If someone accidentally clicks through the dialogue too fast, they'll have no idea what they're looking for. It may help to list Flower Pot, Painting, and Toy to show what items are needed.)

CONSISTENCY: Any time you talk to a group of two people, it's the same dialogue. It sets up the expectation that I'd just get the same words over and over no matter which person I talked to or in which order. HOWEVER, in Pay It Forward, the dialogue differs depending on which woman you talk to in the Residential District. You MUST talk to the lady on the left. I couldn't figure out how to solve this quest the first time because I didn't know who to look for (I thought I had seen all NPC dialogue since I already talked to the lady on the right). This is a minor gripe in the grand scheme of things, but I felt like I had to mention it.

STORY: Pay It Forward ends with you giving Anton the Conduct Pass. Yuliya (Downhearted Lady's Sister)'s dialogue doesn't change after progress reaches 100%, and she'll keep telling you to talk to the Residential District woman. A change in dialogue could help emphasize the fact that the quest is COMPLETE and no further action is needed on the player's part, just like the Business-Savvy Woman's dialogue changes after completion of the same quest.

TYPO: Just past participle again! "An uprising has began" should be "An uprising has begun".

TYPO: In the battle before you meet up with Ivan and Adair, an 's' should be added to make "Aggressive Soldier". I posted this one on the Bug Report forums a while ago, so I’m guessing it’ll probably be fixed in the next update.

GAMEPLAY: Maybe give a warning that Adair's going to heal you after the battle? I used a ton of my food for the first playthrough because I anticipated more fighting. Perhaps include some dialogue of Adair saying something like "I'll heal you properly after we fight the soldiers inside of the house." It would save some people from using too many of their resources too early and wasting them.

TYPO: "Why are you standing here for?" should be "Why are you standing here?" or the correct phrase, "What are you standing here for?"

GENERAL SUGGESTIONS

GAMEPLAY: You mentioned planning to implement the option to switch control keys, which is great. I think the second most popular suggestion is to Toggle Shift (and add Right Shift) instead of having to hold it down every time you want to run. Both will save a lot of fingers!

STORY: Instead of “[Enemy] has fainted” you can put "[Enemy] is down". It is ambiguous yet straightforward if you really want to avoid the word "dead". The fact that the Gun Drones “faint” as well seems questionable. Using “down” or “has been downed” would eliminate the strange phrasing and make a little more sense.

GAMEPLAY: More information in the Kaliningrad Quest descriptions! In Pay It Forward, it would be good to specify within the description that the sister has red pants. In Searching for the Cure, noting the location of the pharmacy would help, even if it just mentions heading North. In Animal Rescue, tell the player to head East to find the Animal Advocate; add a sign for the Residential District! In The Lost Girl, include Lynn's hints about a sandy / dirt-filled location. The very first time I ran around starting these quests, it was incredibly confusing trying to navigate the map effectively and remember which direction things were. Especially when the descriptions are so vague; you have to remember a lot of tiny details only referenced in the Quest Start dialogue, and there's no guarantee the player will recall all of them if they're solving a bunch of quests at a time. Small hints can go a long way.

GAMEPLAY: All quests appear to be able to be completed as soon as you enter the area. However, it would make things INFINITELY easier if they were sorted in "Not Started", "In Progress", and "Completed" tabs. It's a bit of a hassle to scroll through and find which quests you're working on, especially since they aren't sorted chronologically or alphabetically. Additionally, "Locked" quests could be greyed out ones that cannot be completed anymore or ones that cannot be started at that point in the story. Some organization would be nice!

GAMEPLAY / STORY: After playing the game, my friend had this to say: "One thing I would like to see more game-mechanics-wise is the option of using stealthier methods of taking down enemies. For example, when you can sneak around the gun drone in Kaliningrad nighttime, have it so you can utilize your high vantage point (the rooftop) to snipe down enemies and avoid direct conflict."

I absolutely agree that Sniper Mode should be used more. It only makes sense. Why charge into battle with a long-range weapon? Even if Rourke has other methods of fighting, wouldn't he want to prevent close-quarters situations in the first place? That guy even has his back turned! Ambush opportunities are not used effectively.

LANGUAGE: A LOT of the dialogue could use more contractions. For example, at the beginning, Lynn saying "They are here!" would take longer rather than "They're here!", and she'd probably want to get the information across to Rourke faster. This isn't a necessary fix, as everything is readable without contractions, and some characters may just have a tendency to speak like that, but it would make the dialogue seem more realistic and flow more naturally for most of the cases.

CONCLUSION. . .

Long Gone Days is a wonderful game. I would recommend that everyone at least play the first 30 minutes, because it is definitely something else. I still get very emotional at certain points, like that scene with the Civilian Fighter where they first speak in Russian but then try to sound things out in English, finally telling Rourke "We are counting on you. Good luck." It gets me EVERY TIME. It's such a good and powerful moment, couldn't stop half smiling half tearing up when I read it the first time. The text speed and how it was presented was really effective.

I loved the Boss fight as well! The fact that the morale boosting events were saved for the very end of that chapter made it much more impactful than the consistent battle-to-battle challenges in the demo. During my first playthrough, I had to stop myself from letting the Lieutenant use his Attack because of how freakin' COOL the art and animation looked! Everyone’s cut-ins are great!

Unsolicited Advice-Giving Soldier is also hilarious, and I think sprinkling that kind of humor in is very important in a game like this. :P

Overall, I love this game. I really want it to grow. It’s a lot of fun to talk and theorize about, and Chapters 2 and 3 should have no shortage of conversation material. With a bit of polish, Chapter 1 could be an even more effective introduction to the dangers the Kaliningrad Squad will have to endure in the future!

Thank you for reading! I’m looking forward to the full release!

A big massive...

THANK YOU

to everyone who joined in with Love Notes!

To say the last week has been overwhelming with the amount of mail coming through my Askbox would be an understatement. A whopping 213 messages were sent, and so many lovely comments and mutual support off the back of those - that's some serious Love Noting right there. I have adored replying to each and every one♥️

Love Notes may be over😔...but guess what? If you didn't have a chance to send someone a message letting them know they mean a lot to you, or you make them laugh, or you appreciate their general presence you can...MESSAGE THEM DIRECTLY🤭😁🌟

If this project has shown me anything, it's that we have so much respect and affection for so many people which we don't always think to voice- especially the ones that make our day in small ways.

So if you appreciate someone, even if you've never spoken before...I humbly suggest that you tell them 💌

Friends, go forth, and I hope that Love Notes has inspired you to see the good in our corner of this hellsite♥️ Thank you again for making my one year anniversary so special.

LGG xx

Not writing but @theshateredsilhoutte is so so talented. With all the AI going around, it's easy for artists to get disheartened and they are just...so so talented.

YOU ARE SO TALENTED IT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY @theshatteredsilhouette 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰please never stop drawing.

I am intimately familiar with @theshatteredsilhouette 's work and you are correct - it is...breathtaking. I've planted my flag pretty tight in the anti-AI camp, and I totally agree - nothing beats the passion and talent that comes from the care and attention of an artiste. Like THIS

Relinquish the Crown is amazing. It really puts me through all the emotions and I love you for it. I don’t know if I’m going to be horny, crying, or both with each new installment.

Love you ❤️

Love that you guys have your own little book club😂😂😂 Nothing warms me more than some good ol' tumblr writer/writer appreciation. You guys (hugs)

Thank you for sending this gorgeous Love Note for @muddyorbsblr 💖

Ooh! I can’t forget @tricksterlokilaufeyson ! Her text/image combinations always leave me misty-eyed and weak-kneed! 🫠💚

HARD. AGREE. OH . MY. GOD. @tricksterlokilaufeyson I don't know how you do it but sometimes I'm just scrolling minding my own business and then I'm a sweating mess after one of your filthy/emotionally charged picture combos 💐😘

You are such a blessing I swear to god. I love your work, truly and deeply and madly. They always make my day (and give me lots of violently intrusive thoughts...for which I thank you verily)😂😂🥵🔥

Thank you so much @ladyofthestayingpower for shouting out this legend with your Love Note - they deserve the world and more for their service! ❤️🌍

Love Notes #6: To @lotus-eyedindiangoddess 💌and #7: To @nildespirandum 💌

Both of you were there for me during a really bad time, and I'm so grateful for it.

@lotus-eyedindiangoddess Thank you for patiently listening to me, helping me come to terms with what had happened, and giving some very sound advice. We were complete strangers and yet you were so kind and completely altruistic with your time and energy. I appreciate it so, so much. 🩵

@nildespirandum Thank you so much for reaching out that day. I was overwhelmed and needed a good cry and you made it happen. I felt so much better after our chat. I was beyond touched that you reached out. I'll never forget it. Thank you 🫶

These are two such genuinely beautiful Love Notes and I'm so touched you shared them @lovelysizzlingbluebird 😭♥️

Things like this are a reminder that while most of us are here for the fanfics and the feeling part of, some things go so far beyond that ❤️

@nildespirandum and @lotus-eyedindiangoddess - thank you for being so wonderful to a person in need. May your kindness and warmth be repaid a thousand times over 💐💖

Disregard if not allowed but my love note #3 is to anyone who has been reading the love notes and has not yet received one. There are probably many people in our corner of fandom who have a hard time making friends, who are quiet, who are too tired for human interaction, etc. etc. and I want the lurkers to know they are loved too. You are just as important to the existence of fandom whether or not you're a social butterfly. ❤️

❤️💐You're such a sweetheart @litaloni

I know this 'project' has limited reach, that we're a small pool and this is the best I can do to attempt something like this. Results will be skewed, but no less important ❤️

Probably something like 5% of users on tumblr actually interact on a big scale (my made up number, but I imagine it's small)

And I hope that in some way, showing that we do genuinely appreciate each other in different ways and for different reasons highlights that this can be a safe place if you want to interact, that friendships and respect can form, or that you don't have to be the loudest voice in the room for others to smile when they see your username.

And if a lovely fandom lurker ever wants to pop out and say hello to someone, I hope they know that a friendly welcome awaits.

Thanks @litaloni for sending this, you're a treasure 🥰

A whole year 🥺 and you’ve managed to start and lead a cult 🥹🥹 that’s such an achievement! And we’re literally the best cult, Scientology has nothing on us 🥰

Honestly thank you so much for being here 😊 you mean a lot to me and I love you and our little discussions ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Girrrrrlllll you don't know how much you mean to me. You honestly make me laugh so much in between getting violently intense flashbacks to your stories. I absolutely adore you and you are SO LOVED HERE. SO FCKIN LOVED. Your energy and passion and level-headed attitude are infectious. Thank you for being my friend and for dropping into my ask box with the most incredibly random shit I love it🥰

Thank you for this sweet Love Note, it made my day when I saw it💕
