[octonauts-daily]

It's me again, margret (nobody will get that reference but me)

But I have a quick question if ur still taking asks : do you know where could I find above and beyond seasons past 2?? Netflix only has 2 in America (where I live, BBC iplayer hates my country) and I don't have access to other streaming platforms it's genuinely so frustrating, I feel so behind on whatever goes on in the show cuz i just cant watch any of it 😭💀

I can watch all of Octonauts on YouTube, but not AnB, it sucks so much😭😭😭

I actually used a VPN to basically binge watch all of the A&B Episodes past Season 2 while on my free trial!! I used BBC iplayer and the specific VPN I used was PureVPN. I used the UK Server!

I'm trying to make a HM/SOS timeline and I am losing my mind

Okay I need to info-dump around my headcanons for my Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons timeline. This is MY headcanon, and any headcanon you have is completely valid! And if there is anything I say that is contradicted in any of the games, please let me know so I can adjust my headcanons, lol!

So! I have a working theory that there is more than one world in the timeline, and multiple games take place in each world.

World 1:

HM SNES

~Decades later, as 64 Pete is the grandson of SNES Pete

HM TOT

HM 64 (takes place 1-2 years after TOT, since Elli and Gray need to return to Flowerbud Village)

~100 years later 

HM AP

So I imagine that the Waffle Island that you send your kid to in AP would be an AU Waffle Island that runs parallel to this world, but is NOT the one we play in TOT.

World 2: 

HM FOMT/MFOMT

HM AWL

Maybe HM MM takes place after year 1 of AWL, since Nami is in the game, and it would explain her leaving in AWL if you don’t marry her.

HM IOH (1-2 years after FOMT, since Karen and Rick are canonically married)

~100 years later

HM DS/DS Cute, with Mineral Town connected to it.

HM SI

HM GB

HM TOTT (Probs 1 year after SI, since Pierre and Dirk are there)

HM ANB

SOS

SOS 3OT

ANB—3OT would take place around the same time

SOS POOT

Would take place a bit after the last 3 games, since characters from those games appear in the DLC

~Maybe another 100 years later? Either way, SUPER far into the future

SOS AWL

Some notes

Games I have no idea what to do with: HM STH and HOLV. Haven’t played these games. I don’t think they would be in World 1 or 2, and may be in their own world. 

I think HM IOH and SI would take place in world 2. IOH would take place around the time of FOMT and AWL, while SI could take place around DS. I believe they would have to be in world 2 since the mineral town villagers visit. 

HM ANB, SOS, and SOS 3OT AT LEAST are all connected because of the SOS POOT DLC. Because 2 HM TOTT characters appear in SOS, that also connects TOTT to these games. AND HM Grand Bazaar because Dirk from GB is in TOTT. AND PIERRE FROM THE IOH AND SI IS IN TOTT SO THAT CONNECTS ONE OF THOSE GAMES TO THOSE GOD DAMMIT THIS IS SO CONFUSING

I made it so that SI Pierre is the Pierre that appears in TOTT because I like the idea of POOT taking place later in the timeline, so that’s why it takes place a little bit after SI

More games I haven’t played so I don’t really know where they would go, or care honestly, lol: All the game boy games, and BTN. Sorry to any fans of these games, but I have lost my fucking mind and dealing with all the other games has made me lose my sanity. Anyone that has played these games, go ahead and tell me where you would put them, if you want to.

Anyways, that is all I have figured out so far. I lowkey want to bash my head into a wall, but if anyone has some corrections or anything to add, please feel free to do so, because this game series is a very hard one to make a timeline out of lmao 🫠

Harvest Moon: A New Beginning (its trans)

So I've finally hit a point where I feel like I can breathe again which means its time to get back into my backlog made majorly of Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games. Admittedly the moment I get into the DS era and beyond, I get overwhelmed by all the mechanics but I spent....a dumb amount of money on these games and I have to push myself to try. Between Trio of Towns and A New Beginning, I chose ANB for two reasons; 1.It might be simpler to jump into 2.You can back door hack yourself into being gay....kinda.

You see the thing is you still can only date hetrosexually BUT you can just change your character to basically look completely like a girl. Trans rights??? Except you'll get misgendered all the time...unless this is a transmasc story instead for the fuckers like me that like to be he/him'd while in full femme mode. Either way, time to romance Yuri!

So admittedly this is a little bit mixed of a guide slash person road map, I am using a Fogu guide but that doesn't necessarily make it easy. So, I'm only on spring 14 but here's what to know thus far:

The game is as handholdy as ACNL/NH and will slowly dole out mechanics over thankfully in game days. Only worry about mechanics as they come.

You will spend per usual a good part of the start will be foraging. Sell the bugs but save flowers/herbs/mushrooms. You will need moon drops for the start of the town restoration. Also save Honey Bees for the second part of it too. Blue flowers are for Emma to befriend her. Hold onto all logs and stones for when Iroha comes.

Talk to all villagers to increase friendship, show them an animal as well but be careful of preferences. Most villager friendship is required to progress to more stores/upgrades.

When you unlock crops, only buy two things of grass. You are given all you need for most of your farm already. Plant and water the grass in the barn area so you'll have fodder in time for the free cow you get a few days later.

Work on shipping tons of potatoes in spring, this will be a headstart for Town Restoration #4 where you need to ship 30 of them.

Events Process: You arrive>>You unlock crops>>Neil arrives and gives you a cow>>Iroha arrives and gives you an Axe and Hammer>> Rebecca arrives and needs house help which unlocks blueprints>> Town Restoration #1>> Town Restoration #2>> Town Restoration #3 start>> Tailor Shop Blue print should unlock if you befriended Emma enough.

Yuri also seems extremely easy to woo honestly, her special like is one of the early recipes which is also important to eat regularly. In general I just love her and its a crime she can't be romanced same sexly but its okay because again, we are transing ourselves which she and Allen will help with. Wow! What a little gay gender affirming circle that is lmao.

The goal is to get Yuri in my town by early to mid fall, the biggest road block is during restoration 2 you need to ship 10 honey which will take 6 days to make so the more hives the better from the start. Clearing out the farm during summer is imperative. Hives are made out of small lumber and honey combs which is why collecting as much as possible is important (and collecting bees for them too!).

After Yuri is unlocked, the only goals are to raise a lot of sheep for wool. hatch 10 chicks, and get one yak when the chance is given. Side goals include birthing three Cows, sheep, and Alpaca during my second year. Most of Restoration 3 and beyond involves mining and wool so I expect to spend winter doing a lot of digging while also being aware that I'll probably not complete the storyline until at least late into year 2. There's more focus on festivals in the final two restorations as well as a lot of odd gems.

Post main plot is for clothing, house decoration, and child rearing. Emma, Neil, Olivia, Sanjay, and the travel location people are important towards gift exchanges. Outfits will just unlock as I go thanks to Yuri. I might also do a split save before marrying Yuri simply because Witch Princess is always kinda cool but is so late game that having to rebuild everything to marry her might honestly kill me.

It seems partially ridiculous to be so early in the game and to be writing so much already but its one of those series where you need a huge planning stage before you even start anything. To which I find fun the preplan. Admittedly also because the current game play is so repetitive; Watering and animal care in the morning, chasing after Emma for her daily gift, and then wrapping around foraging a couple of times before the night watering. It doesn't help either that there is no quality of life improvements as you go, apparently not even power berries this time.

The path to repairing a town is kind of a fun mechanic to be real; ACNH widely disappointed me for not really being the civilization maker it promised, Hometown story is interesting for a similar was in how it runs, Pioneers of Olive Town sometimes is the perfect amount of town rebuilder, and of course the ever popular stardew valley is great for slowly building up additions to an already pretty sound townspace, and I yearn for easier access to Animal Parade for how lovely the area is even if a bit of a travelling nightmare at points. I don't expect ANB to be revolutionary necessarily but I'm excited to GET to the point where I can suddenly dish out a bunch of town support. It's kind of cool how there's barely love interests as well because of it.

New Synopsis of Season 3(?) and Minor Speculation

An article from aNB Media was posted last month detailing updates on the Strawberry Shortcake brand. What was the most notable, however, was the brief inclusion of what seems to be the "plot synopsis" for Season 3:

"In the new season, fans will meet Crabapple Jam, the new owner of Berryworks, who shakes things up in unexpected ways for Strawberry Shortcake and her berry friends. Strawberry Shortcake fandom will continue to build into the fall as the first of four new, highly anticipated premium CG-animated seasonal specials (4 x 44’) will launch on Netflix worldwide later this year and also on WildBrain’s Family Channel in Canada."

Crabapple Jam's only been seen in a brief cameo at the beginning of the first episode, when Strawberry was listing off the celebrities that got their start in Big Apple City, so this will mark her first true appearance in the series.

The article mentions Crabapple Jam will become the new owner of The Berryworks, implying that she'll be taking over for the previous owner, Figgy Pudding. It remains to be seen whether or not she'll be a friend to the Berry Besties or an antagonist.

This might also be a chance for the series to introduce its version of Apple Dumplin', who had appeared in every Strawberry Shortcake series up till now, usually as a family member of Strawberry herself.

She'd likely be unrelated to Strawberry in this series, however, as Aunt Praline mentioned that Strawberry was her only niece in the Season 2 episode, "The Cricket". It’d be more likely that she’d be related to Crabapple Jam in some way, due their apple theming.

If Apple Dumplin does appear, the series will lokely draw upon her 2009 characterization as a blogger, due to the large role that social media plays in BITBC

barnacles 🤝 tracker

(falling down holes)

[i-wanna-eat-a-loaf-of-bread]

fuck everyone else admiral sweaty sock is my new favourite character

/hj

[hehe-im-a-thief]

We are ready

[e-m-yl]

Thinking about Harvest Moon A New Beginning. that game was something else. Like soseki eating rocks and the harvest goddess just breaking out into code + the endless grammar mistakes. Those odd things that nobody had bothered to translate. It will live with me forever.

Edit: I forgot about Neil and Rods fucking opening and closing cutscenes. Like why. Why did that exist. I mean I get why but why.

[sadisticsmiles]

Somehow "Go Toubun no Katachi", the opening for the second season of 五等分の花嫁, makes me think of Harvest Moon: A New Beginning.

[nivq87]

womp! I almost got to do some trades with somebody playing sos and thus maybe wrangle enough wool to build the sewing hut before the fall fasion show, except apparently they’re in the EU, and despite anb not being region-locked, and google telling me tot not being region locked, sos1 is. LAME. I’m tempted to see if any anb rooms are even open rn, I was able to get into some a couple years ago the last time I cared

FOUR MORE DAYS UNTIL OCTONAUTS AnB SEASON 2🥺🥺🥺🥺

[queerkingdom69]

So earlier today I watched the ANB season 2 ep on YouTube and I personally think it was pretty good! (Obviously except it being the UK version) but it still was nice!! Can’t wait for the entire season the come out in 2 weeks!! 🤩

[norree]

All of the protagonists of Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, in chronological order! I couldn't help but wonder though, why have they never had a main character with black hair?? In terms of the default look, they're usually brunet, every now and then blond. Mysterious... Row 1: Pete (HM), Sara (HM GBC), Pete (FOMT), Toy (STH), Claire (MFOMT/HMDS) Row 2: Mark (AWL), Pony (AnWL), Amanda (MM), Life Grain (IL), Mark (IoH/SI) Row 3: Chelsea (IoH/SI), Hansel (GrB), Gretel (GrB), Philip (ToTT), Lillian (ToTT) Row 4: Kevin (ToT/AP), Angela (ToT/AP), Kasey (AP), Molly (AP), Cory (MLS) Row 5: Connie (MLS), Henry (AnB/Trio), Johnny (SoS), Annie (SoS), Claire (TLV) Row 6: Henry (Trio), Holly (Trio), Sabrina (SV/LoH), Naomi (SOS:FOMT), Yuto (SOS:FOMT) Happy Farming!

That last image with Mistel and Raeger may not look like much but I was alarmed when I saw it because this was REALLY far back in my sketchbooks... I mean, that’s probably the first drawing I ever did of Mistel and Raeger even standing NEXT to each other... and Raeger has his goddamn arm around him.
