I hate this loser. He makes me angry. I would punch him out of rage and love.

With friends like the Witch Princess, who needs enemies? lol

(let’s be honest, if it weren’t for Fogu I never would’ve beat the game tryna figure out how to collect all those sprites)

I might think about turning it into a lovely charm if I ever felt like finishing it anytime soon ~

🚨HE HAS EYES NOW🚨

A Journey.

After consecutively shoving apples and farms tools in his face nearly every day of his life, I've successfully managed to make a farmer of my boy. So proud <3

[kinokoshoujoart]

alright even if he loses let it be known that this man has the Wonderful character arc of All Time. GET ROCKAGANDA’D

and since tumblr likes to reduce image quality on large images. wham full res baby now it’s actually readable

these are some of my favorite rock marriage lines and moments across various editions of AWL. it was hard to narrow it down to this few…

Round 2: ROCK (AWL, DS Cute) vs TOBY (ToT, AP)

Doing the gamecube cheat for harvest moon another wonderful life is time consuming irl but worth it ngl

There's so many seeds

Send halp

[kinokoshoujoart]

did not expect to find forbidden inaccessible gay autocannibalism variant of rock’s after-marriage line hidden away in the dialogue files for a wonderful life special edition for the ps2 but here we are

context:

[kinokoshoujoart]

not as good as a screenshot but i pulled them from the dialogue files bc they deserve to be known

since there’s no visuals please have a quick recreation of what it surely looked like

I'm almost done with year 3 so I did some time skipping without saving to get a sneak peak at year 4 and oh my God I wish I took pictures! 😂 My son was highest in academics and Rock's dialogue had me wheezing! I don't know if something else will pass it when I play the days for real.

Edit

This is beautiful.

30 Days of HM/SOS!

Day 5: Child / vibrant?

Since Rock doesn’t do much during the day, it’s up to him to take care of the child at night.

I love my farm husband and my farm daughter sm

ooh love the awl additions so i will add some too

- those mushrooms you eat in order to get high and meet the harvest sprites? yeah the local 6 year old also got zonked off them

- if you show the local hippie some seeds, he’ll ask if he can have them. if you say yes, he’ll thank you at first, but then says this…

- when you take your husband/wife home for the first time takakura just… also follows you two into your house. for some reason

- you actually have to breed your cows with bulls so they can produce milk, and there’s a breeding scene whenever this happens where you hear painful moos offscreen and takakura says “He seems a little tired today… Maybe we should sell him.” and then after a bit “Whoa! He’s back in business!”

- also you can “milk” bulls. you don’t get anything but a little heart appears over their head

- if you show muffy your tools she’ll remark that “hardworking men are sexy“.

- and if you talk to rock in the summertime he’ll say “When it’s this hot lots of girls like to go to the beach in their very sexy swimsuits? Suddenly I feel like surfing.”

- in the girl version this same guy tries to pick you up to “teach you all sorts of things about this-and-that” (standard jp euphemism for sex) about 20 seconds into his first heart event. this can trigger as early as the second in game day, so it’s often how you meet him

- there’s a hybrid crop that looks like an eggplant. it works as a sprinkler for some reason

- there’s another hybrid crop that is just. sexy daikon radish. you can make it into sexy salad

Talking about Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons with people who have never played it is fun because they assume it’s a cute, innocent farming game, and for the most part it is, but also in HMDS

-you can let your dog attack the mayor at the beginning of the game and presumably kill him (the credits roll immediately afterwards and the screen fades to red in the European version)

-you can poison the entire town at the Harvest Festival (again with the potential for an immediate game over if you submit a level 100 poison mushroom)

-you can fight the girls behind your dog house at 4:44 AM

-one of the bachelorettes requires you to kill 50 animals to marry her

-depending on where you pass out, the villagers can steal up to half of your money

-the mines are filled with dark creatures you have to fight, including a dark version of yourself

-this one's FoMT and not DS, but if you pass out while the hospital bed is being used by another character, you get a cutscene of the doctor shoving him and then the nurse dragging him away so you can use the bed

And half of that sounds like rumors you’d read on game forums, but nope, that’s just Harvest Moon baby!
