im actually livid that the event story is all about the fox who died for norwin and whom he couldnt let go, it made me cry real life tears over that fox, yet there is No little fluffie fox companion in the suit

so well i think i wont forgive myself if i dont get the cinnamoroll ears so consider having me draw something for you for a google play gift card 🥺👉👈 something on the smaller side i guess, i dont have many spoons nowadays 😭

my comms are in general on hold so this is a pretty old sheet, but if anyone would like to trade w me in google play gift cards to fuel my sanrio suit struggles, consider! the simpler style has improved a bit since, the examples here are old and a bit awkward.

im opening commissions, the local govt has screwed us over financially. please dm me for any questions! 

sorry about the anthros being a bit more expensive, theyre a bit harder for me to do ;;

i may adjust prices later and i will add a pixel art section, i have no examples rn, but feel free to ask about them even now, if you have seen and liked my old pixel art

and i am sorry if this sheet is incomprehensible

catching up on nikki after ive been out of it for a while. nikki refers to caprico locking them in a furnace in wasteland. when was that and what was that about? i can find no summary online.

[opheliaswings]

okay so does anyone remember that event where nikki and kimi went to the swan ballet, and bought couple necklaces of the swans (which are in love) for each other?

on the shining nikki login screen shes wearing glittering date which includes a swan necklace. i do not care that this one was designed by loen. nikkimi forever

ill just add that i bring the migration up because the developers react to player activity, hopefully, rather than throwing dice for what will their next decision be, and i dont foresee player activity calling for such decisions, and leave it at that.

I am scared

another possibly Unpopular Onion, but i feel like at least part of the reason the ln story felt so disjointed and convoluted, is that it had no end in sight.

the devs would continue to tell it for as long as it brought money, not really planning an ending until they decide when the game will run its course and end. its like with tv series that are dragged on and on for as long as they bring money. theyd just be tacking on newer and newer problems with no solution. the classic scheherazade scheme.

a story having an end in sight, imo, does not make it deteriorate, but improves it. now that they know how ln would end and join with sn, the story, at the very least, has somewhere to go. it has a destination that it can now direct itself towards, instead of going in circles. and that in my opinion is good. better than dragged out until its lifeless.

[opheliaswings]

even if you have concerns about what in means for ln and sn, rousing panic that early is not going to help anyone.

we dont even have a release date.

[opheliaswings]

i feel so hollow not having finished the sanrio collab. im reluctant to open nikki and see it gone and know its gone forever and ill never have the cinnamoroll dress.

[opheliaswings]

$100 suits should not exist

most lifetimes arent worth the effort crafting them

some hell minors are more versatile and thus usable than the actual hell node suits

nidhogg bores me

every event return should have free tries. with enough returns, the suit would be craftable for free, but itd take years. and itd be just the question of what you prioritize and want in a viable timeframe.

we need more fantasy skintone posed stuff. everyone is prioritizing real people skintones which is understandable, which is why im filing this off to unpopular - fantasy skintones are usually the least concern. but for me they are a concern, i have a grey skinned dark elf oc. grey elf ears please.

and finally: a ln suit is good when it looks like one of my ocs and it is bad when it doesnt hope that helps 💖💖

Give me your unpopular love Nikki opinions!

[opheliaswings]

but overall id like them to put fucking elf ears in shining nikki before jumping on to infinity.

[opheliaswings]

on the topic of horrors and trauma and dissonance in nikki, can we appreciate nikki writing about The Horrors(tm) and putting cute bunny stickers to decorate the horrors a little

[opheliaswings]

did a starry corridor themed after a dragon age char of mine for once

[opheliaswings]

where. where is the catboy tail present in the reflection in the SUIT

[opheliaswings]

for the first time in months i am using the ln comp, i wanted to use the red strings from the kitsune suit and

this overlaying is so bad it flips right back into genius. the Big Kitty is chewing on the red string of fate. delight. delight

[opheliaswings]

also in this house we love momo and we love riding around on a giant momo

i did post abt it but theres a lot i dislike abt it.

i enjoyed the silliness of being nikkis "imaginary friend" But With A Social Media Presence, but i also liked how my physical absence and communication only with nikki actually reflected its a game for me. its interesting to see game mechanics and relationship of a player and played character integrated into the game, a la undertale.

i do, however, much like the concept that in miraland its the people who created the gods (and demons) with their thoughts and feelings and beliefs that pool in the ocean of memories. i like the idea of people's wills shaping the universe as much as the universe shapes them.

hoping someone will see this and tell me how you feel about being a 'god' in Miraland, or a fracture of a god, and how you feel about the envoys we've met so far, and how nikki comes to play in such a dynamic, and.. how do you feel like you fit in or is it a silly thing for you and you're enjoying the ride
