⚠️ spoilers for some year 3 + 4 dialogue with gustafa's child below! ⚠️

[ some of the text in the second image is cut off, the full dialogue is likely meant to be "hold on a second. has gustafa been riding your coattails this whole time?" ]

no, because why is bea so brutal towards gustafa oh my god?? like you're really just gonna ask that question when he's within earshot??? 😭😭😭

Bloodbath 🤣🤣

I do have to admit, seeing the list laid out, it's not as bad as I worried it would be this round. I'm kind of excited/proud of "Wrench" and "Fallout" tying because both of those would have been hard to lose so I'm excited they both are getting moved ahead to the next round.

I'm impressed by the fight the "Awl" put up against known fan favorite "Skyscraper"

2x04 "X-ray + Penny" of course flexed its muscles as a warning to all the others and I have not looked to see what it's matched against next round yet, my heart can't take it 🤣 And go "Flashlight" for getting as many votes!

I think the hardest losses for me personally are "Awl" and "Mardi Gras Beads + Chair" (... and "Scissors".... and "Packing Peanuts".... and "MacGyver + MacGyver".... )

And I'm really hoping that people share some photos, propaganda, and favorite moments for the next rounds!

anon learning japanese once more!! Didn't know you had some interest in it!! That's actually really cool!!!

I recommend IMABI as a potential starting place seeing as you lost the textbook actually! It's been working well for me thus far.

side note. 可憐 from last post can be interpreted as both "pretty/cute/sweet/etc" and "pitiful/poor" which I think fits you quite well :3

!!!! anon !!!! i summoned u wtf .. grabbing u in my little paws yes !!! i studied jpn in uni and then stopped afterwards so all the knowledge decayed awayyy (the textbook was a rental because books are EXPENSIV...)

but also oooo thank u for the recommendation!!!! im looking at the imabi site right now and i am really liking it ... i cant believe it posting on the tumblr dogblog is what gets me back into learning jpn heehee

but also also hey ... HEY ..!!!!!!!!! thats me ... kicking my little peets. mean and evil but also im learning so i supose i cannot go grrr at you about it ........ hmph ...................

🐷 What non Marriage Candidate do you wish was marriageable?

ooooo, I answered this one, but I actually have more thoughts lol, so thankkk youuu!

I think Hector(3oT) should be marriageable, he's such a shy sweetheard who loves his son and deserves to find love again omggg, also you'd get to adopt Colin as a son which is an instant win for me lol!

I desperately wish that the ds cute marriage candidates(flora, leah, Kira, wp, hg, skye, griffin, carter, etc) were marriageable or even existed in the awl remake, would have loved to see a dlc for them!

No NSFW please, Flirting is fine but don't expect it to go anywhere unless I know you

If your a jerk to ME your probably just gonna get blocked

Basi doesn't have their own blog, just appears here

Both Basi AND Gorgon accept magic anons, with some conditions: No anons that make either Abled. I will just block you. Nothing that asks Basi to present masc and nothing about characters who aren't Basi or Gorgon, even if they do show up.

Axisk is only available for asks and RP SOMETIMES, trying to ask for him outside of that time won't work and I probably won't keep it

Do you still think the oilers will make the playoffs? It feels like every team they need to beat for a wildcard spot is also doing well. What are your prediction for the west’s playoff spots?

OOOH. Love these sorts of questions skhdhsjdj

For one: yes, I do think the Oilers will make the playoffs. They're right in that nest of teams that are right in that WC bubble, and they have games in hand on everyone else -- that, and they've consistently and almost exclusively dominated play, both 5v5 and special teams, at a rate that's pretty much best in the league. Because of the fact that they don't have a lot of points banked they probably won't get a good seed unless someone above them goes on a really big losing streak, but I think they'll get in.

As for my predicted bracket:

P1 and P2 will be Vegas/LAK, probably but not certainly in that order. Vegas has nine points on LA right now but also five more GP; given five wins, LA will pass them. LA also is, like the Oilers, consistently dominating play, so I predict that if Vegas struggles they won't hesitate to hop up to the first spot.

P3 will be Vancouver.

C1/C2/C3 are going to be Jets, Avs, and Stars. If you made me pick it'd be that order, but I couldn't tell you for sure -- I think it'll be a lot closer than the Pacific, and we might even have to pop out a tiebreaker.

The wild-cards are where it gets interesting. As I just said, I think one of them will be Edmonton, probably WC1, but for the other there are, to me, three or four potential teams:

the preds: juuse saros is fucking GOOD. If the Preds decide to sell the house at the deadline then you can throw this prediction right in the garbage, because number one in the market will be Juuse Saros. God he's fucking everything. Carolina or Edmonton will probably be shopping him. Beyond that, they're thoroughly mid; ROR still has it, but they're not really good enough to contend nor are they bad enough to just go for high picks.

the coyotes: look. we all want it to happen. most of us want it to happen. i really want it to happen. the thing about the yotes is that they're getting really good finishing and goaltending but they're actually what you would consider "pretty bad" in terms of like. actual play? like not sharks territory but definitely not good. so this current Threatening To Make A Wild-Card Spot is mostly for show and with little substance but by god wouldn't it be fun. if i get to see leafs uncles complain about playoff games in the mullett i might jump for joy

the blues or flames: might just stumble into it frankly. i expect the flames to be sellers (they already shipped out zadorov) so they should get worse but they fully have as many points as the oilers rn so like. idk what's up with that. the blues are in a pretty similar situation but i, like everyone else here i think (sorry kia), knows nothing about them so idk even More what's up with that.

mwah thank u for asking about my standings opinions anon i love 2 talk about it

[cadmium-free]

she’s stoking the fire 😌

[wildflowercryptid]

i'd still love to see a farming sim introduce a rival marriage system that let's you influence who gets with who (à la fire emblem awakening or fates' pairing system.) i think a wonderful life would've been a great game to implement that in bc i feel all the marriage candidates could interact with each other in really interesting ways, especially if that marriage system also allowed for same sex relationships.

[nowoyas]

can you talk about a wonderful life? i’d love to hear about it because it sounds like something i would like and i’d like to know if it’s worth the money ^_^

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I sure can!

Okay SO:

I'm gonna approach this from the assumption that you're not super well-versed in farm sims just bc I have literally no other way of telling otherwise and that seems like the safest assumption to make to ensure proper information and blah blah blah

Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is the current-generation remake of the games Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life, and Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life (Special Edition). Why and how is it a remake of three games, you might ask? Back in my day (waves cane), there were separate editions of games in the genre for boys and girls. A Wonderful Life was for boys, Another Wonderful Life was for girls, and A Wonderful Life: Special Edition was for the PS2. This remake consolidates them, including the extra marriage candidate for AWL:SE and adding a new one to balance the potential marriage candidates by yassifying an existing character.

Generally speaking, the Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons games are farm sims! This means you can expect gameplay to look like this: You inherit/buy/wash up on/etc. a farm and take over as the new farmer, typically in a sleepy small town which may or may not have a Plot Problem For You To Solve during your time there. You grow crops, raise animals, and woo someone in the town to marry them and have a family while accomplishing The Plot! Usually, the general message of the game shakes out to be something about the peace of rural life and slowing down in spite of the world speeding up around you. There are exceptions to this rule: in Innocent Life, another game in the genre that was a spinoff of the pre-schism Harvest Moon genre for the PSP, you're not human and there's no dating elements and the focus is more on exploration and helping the town than on your farm, for example!

A Wonderful Life is also, marginally, different. See, A Wonderful Life was intended to be more true-to-life than other games in the series had been up until that point. This is why seasons only last ten days and a monster lives in the woods behind your house. Previously, games in the series were just as straightforward, with some key differences: buy a calf, raise it up to adulthood, and that cow will give you milk for as long as it lives. In A Wonderful Life? You had to breed the cow for it to begin producing milk, and after about a year, it would need to be bred again or else it'd stop and just take up valuable space in your barn. As I understand it, this is changed in the remake, but I haven't played enough to dig into exactly how!

Anyways I'm rambling due to the Autisms™. What I mean to say is, farm sims are about community and cozy, easy living. But typically, you don't grow. The community you live and farm in may grow, as either the goal or byproduct of the Plot (Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands and Island of Happiness), or it may stay static, endlessly (Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town and More Friends of Mineral Town). You almost always have the option to have a kid, but typically, that kid grows to a certain stage and stays that way forever. (Notable exception, Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility and Animal Parade, where your kid grows up and then you play as the kid)

In A Wonderful Life, it's about the kid. The mechanics are centered around raising the kid, and how your choices affect theirs. If you don't get married and never have a child, the game ends. You leave the valley and return to the city. If you do marry, the chapter ends, and we fast forward to when you have a little toddler (?) running around. Who you befriend (including who their other parent is), how you care for your animals and plants, the things you show your child and the attention you pay them shapes their development. It's about life and birth and death and development and growing up in the countryside. Most importantly, it's about training your dog to perform a 6 foot vertical leap on command.

Please play A Wonderful Life.
