What is each Belcher's + Teddy's episode where they are so annoying, so obtuse, so wack that it seriously makes you want to shake them + the writers? (I love pressing copy and paste lol)
(I also love pressing copy and paste which is why I sent this identical question to everyone, lol. I also apparently have a lot of pent-up annoyance in me. Feel free to ask for explanations!)
Bob: Beefsquatch; Burgerboss
Linda: Christmas in the Car; Local She-ro; Sheshank Redumption; The Grand Mama-Pest Hotel; Worms of In-Rear-Ment
Tina: A Fish Called Tina, Boywatch; Every Which Way But Goose; Legends of the Mall; Y Tu Tina También
Gene: Beefsquatch; Christmas in the Car; Mommy Boy; Worms of In-Rear-Ment
Louise: Mission Impos-Slug-Ble; The Hawkening; Wag the Song
Teddy: Beach, Please; Driving Big Dummy; Drumforgiven; Just the Trip, Sheshank Redumption
Actually, Everyone Except Bob (Including Nat, though I love her): Just the Trip
The Writers Specifically: Yachty or Nice

Retirement home anon again: I’d like to get your opinion on this (if you have one), it’s gonna be long sorry 💀
I bought Story of Seasons: A wonderful Life for the Nintendo switch which is a remake of the 2003 harvest moon a wonderful life.
I’ve bought other harvest moon/story of seasons games for the switch as well and honestly… I’m disappointed.
The character design lacks, they all look so dead and emotionless I don’t know how to explain it. The whole world looks like it’s straight out of Cocomelon. You also start with a gifted Cow and other things, that you’d normally not get in the originals and tbh it feels like they stripped all life away in all the newer versions, made it way easier in the beginning and tried to up the cuteness to a maximum which resulted in it looking like a kids show. The dialogs also turned so soft imo.
In harvest moon ds you straight up start with the mayor of mineral town insulting you and then the character (you) proceeding to try to kill him/punch him with an axe, a hammer, a scythe, even a watering can and in the end your dog bites him in the ass in a blackout screen.
It’s like how they took the sass out of the animal crossing characters with time and it just makes me sad. The new versions of the characters feel like lifeless copies :/
I‘m still hoping for more remakes and I’m still a big fan of the harvest moon/story of seasons franchise. But fields of Mistria honestly gave me the exact feeling I had when I got harvest moon ds on Christmas as a kid and started it up for the first time. I literally had a bit of a teary eye playing the demo and then the EA version of FoM 🥺
That’s also why I like FoM so much - it’s funny, it has innuendos, it’s made for adults/older teens despite it being cutely designed, the characters look and feel like they’re adults as well.
I‘m not trying to be mean to the newer games and I understand people enjoy playing them, hell I still buy them because I love the series, but they leave me hanging. ://
YESSSS I get it OMG it's so boring I have about 100 hours in PoOT (pioneers of olive town) and although I controversially found Harvest Moon One World better than Olive Town (I loved the open world concept and Jamil in particular), it was still kinda boring compared Stardew Valley which I bought as my first game for my switch back in 2019.
That day, I played SDV until 4 am, it was summer break and I just graduated highschool and it was magical playing SDV for the first time, I could barely put the game down for long enough to take care of myself lol.
And I get that exact same feeling again playing FoM, that kind of magical feeling where you're completly transported into a new world. I don't think ConcernedApe made SDV with children as a primary audience in mind, if he did he probably wouldn't have added depressed alocholic in there and I love it, I love a good story and good characters, inperfect characters with flaws, they feel way more real and more likable than the boring nice, polite ones we were getting in newer HM/SoS games. All I remember from PoOT is how claustrophobic the town feels, and how hard it was to decide who to marry because none of them was interesting enough, even Damon, the edgy biker boy, felt like he was taken straight from the Disney Channel. I want characters that I can call bastards, I want mean characters, they're the funniest to learn to love.
As for making the games way too easy, I'm not sure, I just remeber struggeling in older games but mostly because I was a child when I played them. I'm pretty sure you also could get a free cow in Animal Parade and in the tale of two towns but I could very well be wrong.
I'm not gonna lie, I never played Harvest Moon DS but that sounds hilarious, we need more of that back, and less Ned Flenders neighbors. That's another reason why I love SDV so much, Pam and Shane are so mean to the player at first (hell even Sebastian is kinda cold) but that's what makes them more compelling characters than the cast of PoOT, where frankly only the non-marriagable characters were interesting.
I think that's why I'm so obsessed with FoM right now, while yes the characters are so so nice, they're not boring and I don't even remember them by their niceness, Hayden is a super polite farmer, but I'd say his distinct traits are loud, open and so very passionate wbout farming, even his dialogue about being a good neighbor and lending you sugar is so much more memorable because he's so forward about it. I feel like most characters in this game can be described with a positive and a negative trait, which is what newer HM/SOS games lack, the balance between baby boy baby and bastard. And the dialogue in general is soooo good, I don't feel like I'm being talk down to, it feels like a normal conversation between adults, not between a child and their caretaker.
Laslty, thank god (NPC Studio) for the older characters, I feel like farming game fans are not in their teens (13-15) and more like in their twenties and up. We don't want to romace teens, we want something that doesn't feel illegal lol.
I totally agree anon, I love FoM so far and it has also made me super emotional playing this game. Ugh I can't wait for more content, I need to fall for this game harder.

I live on my own away from them, i don't fear making mistakes and i dont have to wrap bandages around my chest in secret to feel some semblance of normal looking in the mirror.
I want to be on T/have top and bottom surgery, to feel confident enough to do that clicky finger gun thing in the mirror every day.
I want to call friends to come over any time I want without having to ask and be told 'we'll see' only to have it not happen.
I want the backhanded comments I suffer every day to disappear, the fear of being alienated and told i'm filthy for being me and accepting that to go away too.
I want to walk around the house in boxers because I want to, my friends call me Marco now- or Jamir if i'm feeling not as masculine- and nobody except my familia elegit knows my deadname or my past and if they do they don't care.
Drinks all around on new years and christmas, swearing in the house (except for around children obviously), silly jokes like this (*stubs toe* "that's transphobic") and i'm beyond content.
They never cross my mind, except to visit (probs not) and send them holiday cards with small gifts (more likely than visiting).
I dance in my spare room and record it to watch later and laugh out loud at whatever i'm watching because i'm not scared to make noise anymore. I can cry if I feel like it. I'm safe here. I'm allowed to be honest.
I go to every single pride parade I can, proudly waving my banners and I don't have a fit over losing my phone, because i'm not a scared dysphoric teenager hiding behind one of those anymore.
I'm strong. Confident. I am me, no longer afraid to takes pics of myself and love the way I look in them.
I probably visit my brother every so often to help w/ his children (if he has any) and help them not be so scared to be themselves as I had been, and if/when I have kids, they'll grow up knowing they are loved no matter what by their dad.
Most of all, though.. I'll be free.
Free to get pissed and not fear my grandmother's "You trynna make me a l i a r ?" Or my aunt's "you don't appreciate a n y t h i n g ."
I don't have to wear a mask and pretend I love them when really all I want to do is run away.
My kids don't either. They're free to ask for anything they need or want, they don't have to hide. They won't be replied to with a harsh "hell no!" When they ask for something (i suffer this. I once wanted a cap and got one in a store, it wad generally nondescript, but my aunt was furious that it was a "boy's hat". Fuck her.)
[My children] are safe and loved and they can't reach me anymore.
My familia elegit (elected family) has cut off xeir horrible mother and everyone else xe had to deal with.
We're both free.
Our puppet strings have been cut off.
What do you want your life to be? No holds barred. Anything you can imagine that’s possible goes.
Write at least 3 sentences on this, but feel free to write more.
Abuse breaks our brains in this particular way where it’s hard to imagine our lives being any different or better. This means it’s hard to get out of the abuse and the patterns we develop from it to create a life we actually want. Imagination is the springboard to the creation of our real lives so this has to be fixed. A good start is to intentionally imagine the life you want. Where you want to live. What job you want to do. How you want to affect the lives of others. What kind of people you want in your life. What hobbies you want. Any and all of it. And an important part of this is to have fun with it if you can.
