Spoilers before for MTaP and MTaS!

I think a big reason why I'm so fond of my builder and Pen is because a lot of things that thought would narratively work with them was enhanced by Pathea's choice to make him a Duvos spy. A lot of choices for Sunny's backstory and how she regards him were decided on before Fall From Grace and that whole arc of Sandrock's story. Which made knowing how she'd react to the whole thing a treat when Pen turned out not to be some crummy dude (with positives and negatives) but also an enemy to that various allied nations.

So be me, writing a backstory for Sunshine that had Duvos connections interwoven and being a big reason why she ends up in Sandrock... only to have the romance interest be dropped as a Duvos spy. It was fun and poetic af.

And that's also why when there was a lack of redemption explored that it made the whole thing worse. Not just as a 'hey, I'm a fan of this game and character!' but because the whole aspect of pouring in 250 game hours (by the time I got around to that arc - excluding all the fun thoughts outside of gaming too for the sake of this) thinking on my builder and her narrative. Thinking, wow, it's cool that Pen fits perfectly. Then hit that point of the main story and went, 'oh, fuck yeah, this is awesome'. Then realized as it went on and on that, much like in Portia with Aadit, it wasn't getting resolved. And the potential promise of a future game, sure, excites me to see him again. But it's not going to be Pen and Sunny. Unless they specifically say 'the Sandrock builder is the main character again!' which I find hard to believe.

I'm old. I've been writing and roleplaying since I was 11. I know I'm not alone in making a player character or OC you immerse into because you be vibing them. I love the roleplay aspect and just seeing the development of a character or multiple characters. It's my favorite thing about roleplaying, about writing stories or helping clients work on their stories and characters. So a lot of love gets poured in and to see Pen's character just full stop still makes me sigh.

Do I love committing to the bit of 'he's baaaad'? Yeah. But I can also be upset by it, too. Especially with how nuanced he is upon further examination. If he was a one note character I would have been like, "Ah, well, saw it coming' but that wasn't the case even with the English version (not even gonna get started on the Chinese version's nuances, we know and love them).

Back during the early part of EA Sandrock, I knew Sunny witnessed some awful relic experimentation in her backstory. While I had no confirmation that Duvos experimented, it didn't seem wild to me that a sector of its military could. Come to find out Pen is likely a child soldier that was experimented on had me all !(•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑ RIGHTEOUS!

The potential ways of keeping him on that would fit Pathea's way of dealing with people who make shit decisions are numerous, which contributes to why it's a let down. I would have absolutely been thrilled if there was DLC expanding upon the Duvos situation. Because even if you/your builder doesn't like Pen, he obviously had some manner of respect or appreciation that could have been utilized by Avery. :')

I'm laying here in a puddle of feelings today, if you can't tell. I was writing up a fun little bullet point list of my builder's history pre-Sandrock and post-game and have officially melted. So if you got this far, hi, I hope you're doing well. <3

[portia-reacts]

Arlo when it comes to clearing out the ruins XD

[portia-reacts]

This is how I feel XD

[alienducky]

MTaP Higgins

Anyone mind talking to me about Higgins, and how he might react to a very specific situation he’ll find himself in in my new story?

I mean, I know how I think and want him to react. But I want to check that it isn’t completely OOC/character breaking for him, ya know?

I ask before I disappear to my parents for the afternoon to hopefully, finally put together my computer, and thus won’t be able to talk until at least 6pm GMT

[iamanemotionaltimebomb]

also, some parts of MTAP still feel like it’s very much not fully developed/done. As I understand it, Panthea Games is still planning on releasing stuff for it.

I would love to see other bachelors/bachelorettes have more content, at least one or two romance missions for themselves. 

I’d love to find out what happened to Aadit and if the rumours about him are true (especially bittersweet if you romanced him). 

Would also love to have other people in Portia react to you getting married and having children. 

Would love more crops to grow too, more bait options for fish, etc. 

[portia-reacts]

XD in the second image it looks like Arlo was trying to object your marriage Haha.

Officially married to Xu 

[portia-reacts]

My husband Gust 💘💘. I love that man so much! Even though I was originally going to marry Arlo gave the knot to Gust by accident and the next day he send out to initiate the reversal purposal and i never showed because he never took me out on a date first this was goin wayyy to fast 😂.

🏙 Gust acts mean but it’s just so we can fix him. XD just kidding. This one was joke! Go to the next on! Why are you still reading go to the next point!!!

🌃 just is very controlling I feel he would be a Taurus even though he birthdate doesn’t align for it he’s still a Taurus to me!

🏙 he’s very critical of things. Looks, appearance, functionality and well everything!! He’s hyper critical but his job does require some harsh critical thinking. And he’s only making it big by being harshly critical but if can sometimes seep into his normal life outside of work.

🏙 Gust has a huge fear of losing you. He has fears of losing you in battle with monsters, while you go to the ruins, or even working on new projects. It’s why he keeps telling you he can support the both of you. It’s a straight forward hint hint. For female builder the biggest fear of all he has is losing you to child labor. He wants kids with you but at the same time the trauma of what happened to his own mother haunts him.

🏙 he loves watching you be home maker. If you sew, knit, cook, bake and such he would watch you do them. He also loves when he lays his head on your lap and you run your fingers through his hair. He wants to always be near you. You’re his other half and he will be close by to you.

🏙he has mommy issues for sure.

🏙 he had flings while in Atara. Nothing serious but he’s not inexperienced in the bedroom department. And since he never fell in love before he fell in love with you he’s rather intoxicated with it, and overly jealous and possessive. It may seem sweet but he makes sure he knows everything that is going on.

🌃 his favorite thing is to take baths with you. He likes cleanliness and bath time is clean, romantic and great bonding time. He likes to have sex in the bath or right after it.

[portia-reacts]

Thank you!!! °₊·ˈ∗(( ॣ>̶᷇ᗢ<̶᷆ ॣ))∗ˈ‧ I love Portia but I feel the cosplay scene is lacking!! So I’m making up for it haha.

Xu

🩺 Xu is a romantic, determined, and caring. But he is a doctor at the end of the day and so he’s very logical. When you mention something that you are insecure about he just mentions the scientific reasoning as to why it’s there. Which at times is not the correct response but he’s a logical man.

🩺 But Xu after time will come to realize that sometimes a doctor approach isn’t what’s needed but rather an emotional connection which made him pick up psychology books to help. He’s trying his best! hes determined to understand the inner workings of your mind to to give you the best support possible!

🩺 He may not be perfect at fully easing your mind but you’ll learn new stuff about yourself as soon enough he’ll know you better than you know yourself.

Nora

⛪️ she’s very quick to notice if you are feeling insecure about anything. Especially your body.

⛪️ she tread carefully around it as she doesn’t want to trigger any negative reactions. She’s patient in waiting for the right moment to ask if you are okay.

⛪️ after telling her about your insecurities she’s place her hands on your cheek as she leans close to your face and say ‘I know my words cant heal, but to me you’re perfect. I don’t want anything about you to change but I’ll help the best I can to make you more comfortable’.

⛪️ after knowing your insecurities she’d try her best to not being a lot of attention to them, but at the same time would try to hype you up and remind you that you are a beautiful person.

⛪️ when alone and in a safe place she’d tell you that you can talk to her about any problem, any insecurities, and any negative thought you had, but only when you were ready. She wants to be there for you, and being next to you always brought out her warmest smile and gentle words of reassurance.

Oaks

🦙oaks isn’t the brightest one around. He may be kind but kindness and being able to read the room are two different things!

🦙any insecurity you tell him he’d question you on why you had it. If you told him you had some insecurities on your thighs, he’d squeeze your thigh and say he likes your thighs as they are, so why be insecure about them.

🦙when you tell him you’re feeling down he’ll try to find you some great trash soda! It wasn’t opened and it was a great flavor! His favorite if he couldn’t find your favorite. Yeah it expired two days ago but you’ll be fine!

🦙at times you can catch him asking the llamas what he could do to make you see yourself the way he sees you. But you don’t have a lot of time to feel the warmth of his care as the llamas beat him up shortly after he asks them the question.

🦙oaks doesn’t always get the words right, but his actions speak enough on showing he cares.

Sonia

🍽 Sonia is actually very easy to be able to spot any discomfort/insecurities you may have. Especially since she too has quite a bit of insecurities herself. She’s able to pick up on the sublet movement one does when trying to hide.

🍽 even though she has her own insecurities she masks them very well by putting on a strong and blunt mask. She’d ask you about them directly. She hates the feeling and the loneliness it gives you so she doesn’t want you to have to go through it.

🍽 even when you try to tell her it’s nothing she’d call your bluff. She’d tell you how she knows because your actions remind her of her own. Sonia knows what it’s like to want to be perfect in a world where perfection doesn’t exist.

🍽 she’d cry with you and push for the both of you to be each other’s clutch and support system.

Sam

🥊 Sam is the Jack of all trades. She can do so much yet she chooses to stay in Portia even when she didn’t have to. She could have been promoted and left yet Sam didn’t feel the need to prove herself. A rare fate so little people have. Content within everything in her life

🥊 and so she does and doesn’t understand when you tell her of your insecurities. She understands your feeling but also doesn’t as she overcame every obstacle in her way. With that she has to remind herself that you are not her.

🥊 she’d listen to everything you have to say and try to make you feel better about yourself, but normally it’d just be her saying to go out and spend time together. Let’s do something to help get your mind off of it! For you to focus in on her and for you to let her care for you.

🥊 she’d gift you your favorite food, and try to keep you active enough where your mind won’t have time to give you negative thoughts.

Aadit

🧸 Aadit is quick to notice you pulling and the end of your shirt. Though he would have no problem finding the right words to ask you what’s wrong. He’d just scoop you up and tightly hold you close to him. Why ask when he already knows something is wrong. You’ll tell him when you’re ready.

🧸 he doesn’t really ever verbally bring up times he felt you were having a struggle, as he was a physical guy. He wanted his body to soothe you. For you to physically know he was there for you.

🧸the warmth and love from both your bodies keeping each other warm is the best medication for any doubt, insecurities or negative thoughts.

🧸but he’d be lying saying he only did this for you, as you also aided in soothing his mind and fears as well

🧸aside of physical touch of support he’d also leave you random notes on your stuff with loving words and gifts.

[portia-reacts]

Thank you for sending in an ask!!! And yes of course!!

🥊 people always wondered how outgoing Sam ended up with the shy builder! But to Sam it was meant to be!

🥊 sam would laugh and tell people how you keep you grounded and she gets to rile you up as she pulls you close to her. Sam does this on purpose to get a blush out of you and cute little gasps.

🥊 the innocence you have is alluring to Sam, because she knows your innocence is really just your mask of shyness. She wants to know the real you, you’re thoughts that you are too embarrassed to speak out. You’re a lot of fun to tease because she knows what you want but she wants you to say it. But Sam also knows when to stop and respect that this is also who you are.

🥊 making sure your happy is priority number one. And Sam isn’t afraid to put in the work to make sure she is able to read your actions and your actions will talk for you more than your voice does. But she does savor any time she can get the blunt side of you. Especially when she can get dirty pillow talk out of you.

🥊 she’d ravish you all night and then smile in the morning when you act cute and embarrassed about what you said last night.

This is actually my main blog (Omichichan). I was actually thinking of maybe adding a cosplay react thing? Since I cosplay as so many of the Portia ladies already! I don’t know haha just a thought. Maybe I’ll try to cosplay as Gust XD. I’m only 11 inches too short, not too much a noticeable height difference ꒰ *๑•ૅʖ̫•́๑꒱.

So I got to wear Emily from My time at Portia! Now I did get another wig for her for when I reshoot her! Because this wig was wayy too short! So it was in a braid but didn’t stay……so I’m going to do a reshoot!

But I’m currently reshooting my harvest moon cosplays and stardew valley cosplays! So you can check Instagram for pictures and videos (since I don’t post all of them on here) and come chill with me on twitch!

[portia-reacts]

Of course!!! I do wish The mysterious man was marriageable

👹 he is a silent listener. He does respond but it responds in a way that makes you feel if he even needed to at all. Like what did he add to the conversation. Nothing. But at least he responded.

👹 He isn’t like this because he doesn’t want to talk to you but more of he genuinely never really had anyone who talk to him. Since he’s a traveling merchant most people only talk about the goods he’s selling.

👹 He thinks about you on his travels. Of course he mainly just thinks of ‘ohh they would buy this’ . Y’all may be friends but you still paying!

👹the closer the two of you get it crosses his mind on if he should show you his face but he’s reluctant to do so. Maybe if you two were more than close friends.

👹 when he visits your home town he’ll deliver letters and packages to your family for free while bring you some of your favorite snacks that you pre-payed for.

Most to leak Likley to forget to pick up the kids.

Arlo - it’s not his fault that you trusted him with that big of a task.

Oaks - there is like a 10% chance he will remember.

Xu - he’s a doctor! Time goes at a different speed for them.

Mint/Albert- they shows up on time but so did everyone else. So they will be behind quite a few parents.

Remington - he shows up a few minutes early to try to beat the crowd. But didn’t beat the early birds.

Gust - he’s definitely within the top 10 parents to show up. He sets up designated meet up spots.

Aadit - he shows up an hour early. He knows exactly where the kid is and will be the first parent seen. So much he’d probably take the kid out a few minutes early to beat the traffic from the other parents.
