Our Life: Ages

Well, as far as I can tell, this is accurate. So, here y'all go I guess!

The colours coincide with the games btw, and their respective Steps from - 1 to 4. BlueGreen for OLBA, GoldOrange for OLNF.

It doesn't have all the ages, but it has most of the relevant ones presently. I'll probably make another one later with the NF parents and extras too, but I just wanted this one for easy reference atm.

[buried-in-autumn-leaves]

I need to make everything about ME so here's what I think every our life / xoxo droplets love interest would add to your altar.

Cove: Seashells. It does not matter who the altar is for. He finds one he thinks is pretty, adds it, then asks if they're going to hate it.

Derek: I was thinking motivational notes. He wants you to be your best self just as much as they do <3

Baxter: CRYSTALS ! Like fitting ones too this loser will look up 'love crystal' on google when dating an Aphrodite devotee and think he's all that giving them rose quartz.

Qiu: Drawings !! Cute little doodles like suns and statues and trees. I can also see them getting into poetry writing.

Tamarack: Sort of like her stuff from the forest in step one, I definitely see her making a REALLY good altar for Demeter, but just natural stuff in general !

Nate: I'm gonna be real I just see him looking over your shoulder at any writings / prayers / letters and correcting your spelling and grammar. (He means well– They're for someone important, after all.)

Everett: Jewlery and other trinkets ! However he is not going to actually admit they're FOR you, he'll pretend they're his that he just doesn't like anymore, wdym you've never seen his pomegranate charm ??? Stfu.

Bae: He's the one I see bringing the food offerings. He thinks he's better at everything so he'll make food for you and act like he just did everyone in the world a favour.

Shiloh: Just... the worst (best) additions. I don't know how to explain exactly but like your Hermes altar now has a rubber chicken on it. No, he doesn't know how it got there, why would he ?

Jeremy: A little bit of a cop out but I think he'd like help clean and cleanse your offerings before they go on. He doesn't really care about the practice in general, but he also doesn't trust you to clean anything properly yourself.

Pran: More drawings but in like a darker way- I see her art fitting more on something for Ares than for someone like Apollo.

The summer Cove and Hibi met~

This is the first in a series of little sketches I first made while playing the game (for the millionth time). I'm slowly working on making them into full illustrations like these, so here's my little babies when they were children! They were so cute! They aren't in order of how I played the game anymore, since I had to rearrange them to fit on the canvas, but the order doesn't really matter anyways.

Three more to go, and then there's two DLC's for me to finish (for the millionth time).

Soon to be Wedded | Jeremy King x Reader

Short-ish fic inspired by me wishing Jeremy could’ve brought JB as his date at Cove and MC’s wedding (I know it probably would’ve been too difficult, but still)

SPOILER WARNING FOR THE WEDDING DLC!!!

“Oooh, I can’t believe we’re really here. Look at this place!” You squeal in awe, admiring the wedding decorations combined with redwood trees. Jeremy follows closely behind you, his shoulder scrunched in show of his discomfort. “Mm, it’s nice…I guess.” He sighs, he glares at you when you nudge him with your elbow. “Ha! Wow, you’re actually giving out a compliment? Huh, you must like these guys a lot. I can’t wait to meet ‘em.” You tease.

Jeremy rolls his eyes and instinctively shoos your arm away from him with a groan. “…Why did I bring you along again?” He sighs “Becaaaaause, you’d be unable to handle a social setting as big as a wedding without me.” You state. “More like you were acting like us being apart for a weekend was the end of the world.” Jeremy scoffs, one side of his mouth turning upward into a smirk. You let out a soft hum in response, “But it is the end of the world!” You gasp.

“No it isn’t.” Jeremy says bluntly “It is! How can I be happy without my precious Jerebear somewhere nearby? You are my world!” You whine truthfully. Jeremy cringes, his pale cheeks burning red. “…Gross.” He groans, you only grin at his reaction as you approach the wedding planner. “Ah! You must be Jeremy. And is this your plus one?” Baxter asks with a polite smile, taking in the two of you.

“Yep.” Jeremy says dryly “I’m his girlfriend.” You add confidently. “You didn’t need to tell him that.” Jeremy sighs, staring at the ground. “After how hard I worked to keep this relationship going? I should make us wear T-shirts. Or, who knows, this wedding might be the push I need to get the ball rolling for our future wedding.” You snort, Jeremy just glares at you in annoyance. Baxter watches the two of you, his smile unwavering. “Well, if you ever need a wedding planner I’m available.” He tell you, “Please. Don’t encourage her,” Jeremy sighs, shifting uncomfortably with a blush “Can we take our seats now?” “Yes, of course. You two are seating over there, second row.” Baxter says, not wanting to make Jeremy more uncomfortable.

“Great. Come on.” Jeremy says “Go on, without me. I need to get Mr. Wedding Planner’s number-” Jeremy grabs you by the hand and drag you away from Baxter without another word. He knows you’ll put up less of a fight because him touching—let alone holding your hand is super rare.

……

“—Cove…thank you for always being there. I want to thank you for…everything.”

Jeremy watches the scene with a blank expression, only reacting when he hears a sniff beside him. He looks at you knowingly, “…Seriously? You don’t even know these people.” He sighs with a quiet voice as he turns his attention to you “I know. But they just seem so pure. It’s adorable.” You whisper back, tears pricking your eyes. Jeremy stares at you with a dumbfounded frown, but eventually force himself to return his gaze to the actual focus of the wedding.

…

Jeremy sips his drink, quietly listening to you ramble on about how nice the wedding was and how groovy it is to have the reception in an aquarium of all places. “I hope you’re taking notes, Jerebear. I’m hoping we have our wedding at the archery range.” You state, Jeremy frowns at the thought, “That’s awful…” He groans “You’re not gonna ask why?” You huff.

“I don’t need to know the reason. I already know it’s gonna be stupid, cheesy, and pointless…” Jeremy grumbles, but that doesn’t stop you from telling him anyway, “It’s because the archery range was where you first said you lov-” “Ugggggh.” Jeremy groans, dropping his head into his arm. “I should’ve left you at home…” He sighs, “Love you too, Jerebear~” You snicker, making the poor boy’s eyes widen even more than before. He sighs with a blush spreading all over his face.

Out the corner of his eye, he sees Cove and MC approaching. Jeremy sits up with an exaggerated sigh, eyeing the couple awkwardly, secretly hoping they didn’t hear any of this conversation. The pair greet the two of you with matching smiles of admiration and curiosity. Jeremy awkwardly stands to be closer to the couple and further from your flirting. Cove speaks first, “You came!” He says happily, his blue eyes lighting up. Jeremy’s tired pout remains, “Happy wedding, you insane people. Why did you invite me to this?” He asks.

You watch in amusement as MC smiles kindly, “Because we wanted you here. Thank you for coming. And thank you for actually bringing a plus one. We were hoping to either meet your girlfriend or Pran.” They chuckle. Jeremy shifts uncomfortably before MC pulls Jeremy into a hug. His shoulders tense and his eyes are wider than ever, “Let me go.” He hisses out, his cheeks becoming an intense red. MC smiles apologetically, “I’m sorry. Are you ok?” They asks. Once he calms down, Jeremy only sulks more, “Whateveeeer…” He sighs. Cove smiles, the two of you make eye contact. Suddenly his familiar smile drops into one of curiosity and amazement “O-oh! You’re Jeremy’s girlfriend, right?” He asks. “That’s right. I’m Jeremy’s other half,” You say with a toothy grin that Jeremy knows far too well “Glad to know he talks about me.”

“Yep, still forcing him to be happy?” MC asks jokingly, “Pfft! Yeah, it’s my favorite past time.” You laugh. Jeremy rolls his eyes, opting to pay attention to anything other than you and MC’s conversation. Cove turns to him joyfully, “Thanks so much for coming. It wouldn’t have been the same without you.” He states. Jeremy scoffs, “True. It would’ve been better.” “Well, it’s nice of you to want to come and share the suffering.” Cove chuckles, earning a smirk from Jeremy.

“Misery loves company.” He teases dryly, Jeremy raises an eyebrow at the sight of MC giving you a number. He sighs knowingly and shakes his head. Jeremy gazes over the wedding once again, taking in the reception. Cove soon joins you and MC in the rambling about your lives and relationships. “I guess this is one of the better functions I’ve been too.” Jeremy sighs. Despite his quiet voice, he catches everyone’s attention. “Better than our prom?” You ask, Jeremy rolls his eyes “Anything is better than that.” He smirks. “Scum. Heartless scum.” You huff.

Meanwhile, MC and Cove look at Jeremy in shock, “You’re saying something nice about our wedding?!” Cove squeaks out in surprise, the noise almost makes you laugh. “It’s not earth shattering.” Jeremy says “Pfft! Yeah, right. If I look outside, will pigs be flying.” You joke, Jeremy shoots an annoyed look your way. “I appreciate that, Jeremy.” MC says sweetly, Jeremy looks away in discomfort. A sharp gasp is heard a distance away.

“You guys are here too?! That’s so cool!”

You look over your shoulder to spot Shiloh approaching, Jeremy does the same—he frowns in pure disgust. “Shiloh? What the hell are you doing here?” You ask once he’s close enough, “Ah, right. Jeremy wouldn’t have told you. The three of us are childhood friends.” Shiloh says happily, he gestures to Cove and MC. “Huh, small world.” You say, Jeremy glares silently at Shiloh.

Shiloh stands in between you and Jeremy, “Hi.” He greets, now that he’s fully apart of the mini reunion, “Hello hello, Shiloh. Glad to see you’re still a suck up. How that’s working how for you now?” You hum. Jeremy responds before Shiloh does, “Couldn’t this have waited until that terrible ‘group reunion’ I’m certain we’re gonna have to go in six years or whatever?” Jeremy sighs. “What?!” You and Shiloh share disapproving shrieks, MC and Cove watch the scene with matching smiles.

“Come one! Once group mates, always group mates.” You whine “She’s right.” Shiloh unsurprisingly agrees with you, “We shouldn’t hold off for that. If there’s a chance to hang out, we’ve gotta take it!” He urges. Jeremy groans, “Of course that’s your perspective on things. Life is an endless series of disappointments.” He sighs through grit teeth. Cove smile drops into a look of concern, you wrap an arm around Jeremy’s shoulder.

“Don’t worry about Jerebear. He’s always like this. This is your wedding, focus on that happiness and ignore Mr. Grumpy.” You tell Cove confidently. Shiloh nods, “Yeah! And at least there’s free cake. That’ll be something, right?” He adds. Jeremy’s annoyance turns into shock, the two of you stare at Shiloh in surprise. He only chuckles and turns to Cove and MC, “Jeremy has a soft spot for baked goods. He’s probably excited about it.” He tells them. “Really?! I feel the same way!” Cove says happily.

You grin and raise a confused eyebrow, “How’d you figure that out?” You ask curiously. But again, Jeremy doesn’t give him a chance to answer, “Why do you remember that? We haven’t spoken in years. Shouldn’t you focus your efforts on remembering dumb things about her?” He groans gesturing to you. Shiloh giggles, “I’d never forget anything about either of you, Jeremy.” He states. Jeremy cringes and you laugh, “Yep. You’re definitely still Shiloh.” You say “Of course! Who else would I be?” Shiloh asks with a bright smile.

“Someone better maybe? Or at least someone less grating about how unpleasant they are.” Jeremy sighs, Shiloh’s chipper mood doesn’t fade, “Nope. I’m just me. The three of us should catch up! Let’s get drinks.” He says. Jeremy finally realizes your arm’s still around him and he shrugs you off. You pout, “That sounds like a terrible idea.” Jeremy sighs, he grabs your hand and nods goodbye to Cove and MC before he pulls you to the bar with Shiloh trailing eagerly behind. “Bye! Congratulations!” Shiloh shouts to the couple. The couple shouts goodbyes back.

…

You rest your head on your palm, watching Baxter announce the bouquet toss. “Oooh, Jeremy! You should join.” You giggle, elbowing him gently. Jeremy nudges you away from him “Uh, why would I do something as pointless as that?” He asks. “Because it’s fuuuuun! And you gotta get that bouquet! Fight for our future wedding!” You squeal. Jeremy cringes, “That’s a terrible reason…” He groans “Besides, it’s not even guaranteed I’ll catch it.”

You shake Jeremy and whine, “Just try! I’m just gonna keep bugging you until you do!” Jeremy glares at you, but ends up standing up. He stands on the outskirts of the already forming group, Jeremy ignores your cheers of support and begrudgingly holds his arms out. “Excellent. The bouquet toss begins—now!” Baxter announces. Everyone watches MC closely. MC fires a quick trick shot towards the crowd, many scramble to try to catch the bouquet of poppies, but the only person who remained still was the one to catch them.

Jeremy frowns miserably when the bouquet perfectly lands in his arms. He does his best to keep the bouquet as far as he can from his body. Jeremy looks over his shoulder to lock eyes with you, a wide grin is on your face. “Don’t you even start.” He says in disgust, you blow him a kiss and Jeremy cringes more..

“Stunning work from our winner: Jeremy!” Baxter chuckles into a mic. “Congratulations on your future wedding!” MC giggles, Jeremy glares at them while you enthusiastically shout back a “Thanks!” The other guest laugh and let out chuckles of their own. Jeremy miserably huffs and returns to his seat. “Pfft! I can’t wait to tell your parents the good news.” You tease, Jeremy rolls his eyes “I’m sure they won’t be happy to hear that I dumped you at someone else’s wedding.” He scoffs. You stick your tongue out at him and giggle.

…

Jeremy silently places the bouquet on the hotel’s dresser. He glances at you as you work to blow up the air mattress, it was the only way Jeremy was going to sleep in a hotel and he wasn’t going to change his mind. At least you were able to convince him to spring for a king size air mattress the two of you could share.

“…I’m glad I got to meet your other friends, Jerebear. It makes me happy to know there are other people who know how much of a treasure you are.” You coo, “Stop hanging out with my mom.” Jeremy sighs. “Never. She’s basically my future mother in law.” You snicker, you gently poke the air mattress, “It’s done.” You announce. You stretch your arms, “Who gets the shower first?” You ask, there’s only a brief moment of silence before you quickly add “Ooh, we should take one tog-” “No!” Jeremy said firmly.

“Come on! It’s not like it’d be the first time.” You huff, Jeremy removes his shoes and leaves them by his suit case. “It’s hard enough I have to use a dirty hotel shower. Having you join would definitely kill me.” He sighs, pulling out the blankets he brought, “I’m sure the showering together wouldn’t be the only hard part.” You joke, wiggling your eyebrows, Jeremy throws the blanket over your head. “You’re just mad I’m funny!” You laugh, Jeremy walks to the bathroom with a disgusted look. He shuts the door, the last thing he hears is your growing laughter.

“Together for life, Jerebear! In sickness in health! Ooh, that reminds me. I gotta text Pran the great news~”

[otomes-and-tears]

i am so glad there is another shiloh enjoyer and even more happier that you are an analyst of this silly little creature. do you believe shiloh has the capability of a redemption arc?

We're all Shiloh scholars! Majoring in Shilohnalysis and minoring in ophiology!

I like to believe that everyone is capable of growing, they just need to be willing to put in the effort to do it.

Habits are hard to break, and changing can be a terribly cruel thing for a normal person, and I'd likely be a million times harder for Shiloh. To be redeemed he'd need to confront not only the things he did, but the core of who he has been for literally this entire life.

During the prom date, Shiloh says that he doesn't know if a "real him" really exists. And I'm inclined to agree with him. Regardless of whether he feels any remorse or shame underneath his adorable soulless smile, manipulating and flattering is all that Shiloh knows. By the time we meet him in Our Life, he doesn't have his whole shtick polished and perfected, but that literal child is already at a point in his life where he thinks that being himself isn't worth it and that he's only ever worth anything as long as he's a sidekick, always ready to please the protagonist! It's fucked up!

He's literally seven at that point.

It's roughly the age when kids start really going to school and socialising in a space that isn't home, and this is what he resorts to do fit in. And it's not something he grows out of either!

He might be more manipulative and in more "control" when we see him in XOD. However, it's still the guy who would deliberately fall over and hurt himself if JB asked him to. Shiloh's relationships being replaceable, and him always being the one to end them doesn't erase all the humiliating things he willingly does to be able to have them in the first place. It doesn't change the fact that this all started when he was still early in his development and that all those absolutely crucial socialization milestones happened with this, with purely transactional relationships as a foundational block.

It would require so much work to unpack and unlearn all of it. And it would take being vulnerable and honest with himself, which Shiloh might not even be able to do easily. Mending his relationships will also be harder-- because for Shiloh, at the same time he likely did mislead and hurt a lot of people, for many others he just... Gave them exactly what they craved. A yes man, someone to shower them with praise and flattery. It's what he knows what to do. He just doesn't want to be lonely.

But then again, he's a difficult character to read and understand, and I think it's part of the reason why so many people hate him with a fiery passion, but I've always seen him as this deeply tragic figure-- which would likely make me a prime source of his manipulation, were he real.

being petty to shiloh because i can lmao but yeah baby you tell him we're together <3

[riding-the-sunset-bird]

Do you know what influences the different versions of Shiloh that appear in the wedding DLC? Do the choices from Step 1 influence it or is it only Step 3?

It's actually completely random. When deciding on a Shiloh, the game rolls for a number anywhere from 1 to 5, as there are five different Shiloh you can get (technically four but I'll explain more below).

If that answer doesn't satisfy you, there is a way to "guarantee" a Shiloh if you don't mind going back on saves, but you need to set some things up first.

Number one, be "alright" with Shiloh by the end of Serendipity, which you can do after Liz makes him apologize by either accepting his apology (literally "I'll accept your apology.") or feeling relieved (You gave him a faint smile, feeling sort of relieved.).

If you choose neither, then you'll have to be "unsure" instead ("Were you pretending to have a good time with us today?" or You couldn't give him a straight answer.) and then choose to stick around when Liz asks (followed by either "I still like Shiloh." or "I'm kind of interested to see what'll happen next. I'll stick around." or "Well, it's not as if I was that surprised."). The last option only appears if the MC knew that Shiloh wasn't an honest person back in Step 1 and said "I knew it. I knew you weren't being honest back then." after Shiloh admits to what he did when you were kids).

Next, during the ending of Step 3, call Shiloh (after you're done at the restaurant with yours and Cove's family). The actual details of the call don't matter as long as you called him. You'll need to do this regardless to be able to invite him to the wedding.

Once Step 3 ends, choose Cove's Step 4 and keep going until you have the option to say "Actually, you wanna know who else being here would make this extra perfect?"

It's once you choose to bring up "Shiloh" that the game rolls the random number, so you can save right before that happens.

After you pick it, if Liz says "I'm really not so sure about that. This is a big crowd and Shiloh is… an acquired taste." then you got Shiloh 1.

If Liz says "You know, it might actually be fun to have him join in with the full group. Too bad it's not gonna happen." then you got Shiloh 2.

If Liz says "Honestly, I'm not so sure about that, [MC's name]. You know Shiloh's an acquired taste and this is a big crowd… and it's not like he'd ever come anyways." then you got Shiloh 3.

If Liz says "Ah, [MC's name]? I know me and him aren't really talking right now, but I did learn that he doesn't go by Shiloh anymore. He only responds to his middle name, Leon." then you got Shiloh 4.

If Liz says "This is a big crowd, [MC's name]. I'm not so sure that he'd like that and… you know, Shiloh is a bit of an acquired taste." then you got Shiloh 5.

If you don't do these steps, then your Shiloh will be randomized the moment you start the Wedding DLC and there won't be any way to check until you actually get to see him.

Shiloh 1-4 have a set personality. Shiloh 1 has the "Shiloh" personality, Shiloh 2 has the "Mr. Fields" personality, Shiloh 3 has the "Shy" personality, and Shiloh 4 has the "Leon" personality. Shiloh 5 can have any of the others' personalities, as the game does another dice roll from 1-4 with him specifically and picks one of the four personalities I listed. Each personality also has a set appearance, so if you got Shiloh 5 then this is how you know which personality you got from him.

From left to right, the personalities go Shiloh, Mr. Fields, Shy, and Leon:

The rough differences between the four personalities go like so:

The "Shiloh" personality, predictably, is the closest to the original Shiloh. He is described in Step 4 as being part of "some kind of entrepreneurial venture" and adopted a dog named Roger. During the Wedding DLC, he will be settled in and talking comfortably with other guests when you approach with Cove and will greet you with the same enthusiasm that he uses with Liz.

The "Mr. Fields" personality is described in Step 4 as "studying to be an accountant" and has become more honest about his feelings, thus less difficult to figure out than he was as a kid. During the Wedding DLC, he'll be talking with other guests but with some level of discomfort, though will greet you and Cove more affectionately.

The "Shy" personality is described in Step 4 as "pretty internet famous" and "extremely hard to reach." He's called "Shy" by his fans and he's even less transparent than he was during Serendipity. During the Wedding DLC, he won't be talking to other guests despite paying attention to their conversations, greeting you and Cove with some restraint (similar to how Shiloh preferred Liz over you in Step 1).

The "Leon" personality is called as such because Shiloh is going by his middle name now. Not much is said about him in Step 4 besides the fact that he's distancing himself from the past. Likewise, during the Wedding DLC, he'll be entirely distant from all the chatter amongst guests and not even look at you and Cove when you approach.

Shiloh 5, despite being able to have any personality, is notable because he's the only Shiloh who has a girlfriend. If that's what you want for him but you also want a particular personality for him, you'll have to wait until the Wedding DLC when you're making your rounds and talking to people, saving at the text "Cove skipped ahead, buoyed by the brief, but fun interaction, and you went right along with him." and then resetting if you don't get the Shiloh you want.

Shiloh 1 (not Shiloh 5 with the "Shiloh" personality) will also set Jeremy to having the girlfriend instead, though this can be true of any Shiloh if you didn't call Shiloh at the end of Step 3 (though this is only relevant if you invite Jeremy to the wedding since by not calling Shiloh, you won't be able to invite Shiloh). Basically, by not calling Shiloh, Jeremy will have a girlfriend.

"Shiloh" and "Mr. Fields" will also have a blast with Liz at the end of the party rather than simply not minding attention from her, and they're the only ones who will participate in the bouquet toss (and will push Jeremy into participating if you invited Jeremy), whereas Baxter will single out (or group with Jeremy) a "Shy" or "Leon" Shiloh as "having a bit of snark" when speaking to you and Cove about how lovely your weddings guests are otherwise.

Hope that helps! The basic thing to know is just that the Shiloh you get is technically random, but you can reroll by going back on saves if you really want to get a specific one.

Heartbreaking! The cutest guy you know is an absolute snake

[adoribullpavus]

my favourite thing about shiloh's route is how strained his "anything for you" 's get towards the end of the game. man was barely holding himself together.

[buried-in-autumn-leaves]

Thinking ab if Baxter had been put in XOXO Droplets like he was going to be........ Stupidly pretentious musician. Probably gets along with Everett in a 'we both think we're cool and alternative' way. Similar to Shiloh in terms of popularity due to excessive people pleasing. Passes his classes with seemingly no effort (pisses off Nate). So many possibilities idk.....

[one12345two]
