My favourite part is the MC's narration after Tamarack said no:

MC really got their priorities straight.

Tamarack: I just moved in with my omi and opa :)

My mean mc: are your parents dead 😒

Qiu:

I seem to be fine most of the day and then I have a BIG mood dip around 8pm. I think I should just immediately go to bed instead of entertaining any thoughts at all about the future

So just an update on old cat. We had her appointment with the specialist today (cw pet health issues, terminal illness)

So while it’s not brain cancer, the eye specialist is certain it is still cancer. There are treatment options but they are Not Great and even surgery would, at best, buy her some more time. Because of the location, it’s impossible to get it all, so it would come back. Possibly more aggressive too. Even surgery plus radiation would be unlikely to cure her. And all of that would be really unpleasant for her to go through

So we’re not going to do any of that at her age. He also said the steroids are probably doing nothing so we’ll take her off them too (they may have reduced some inflammation early on, thus suggesting they were helping but they probably never did any good in reality). She’s not in any pain right now so main thing is keep her happy and keep the area lubricated

At some point she will start showing signs of pain and that’s when the time will come. We don’t know when and it won’t be immediately, but whether she’ll see 2024 or not is unknown

It’s not good news, but it’s also not really worse news than when we thought it was in the brain. The only difference is what symptoms we’ll be watching for to know when the time comes. So as much as it sucks, I’d already accepted roughly this outcome months ago. I feel mostly relieved just because now I know what it is and I have an idea of what’s coming. I didn’t really seriously think there was a chance it wasn’t cancer, so the prognosis itself is still the same as I expected

Anyway. That’s the update. It’s not great but I’m okay, unfortunately our sweet little kitties are in fact mortal. She’s 16-17 years old and she’s had a great life. And she will continue to have a great life for as long as I can give it to her. I’m buying a steak for her when I go grocery shopping this week and she’s gonna get whatever little treats her fluffy heart desires for the rest of her life

Your song suggestions are great and fitting for the characters! :D If you intend to turn those songs into playlists, I'll be interested in listening to them.

If you need more ideas, there are actually plenty of playlists for Tamarack and Qiu on spotify. I haven't see any for Renee, Vianca, Serenity, Opal, etc., though I think it's fair since we don't know a lot about them as for right now.

(please make more for Tamarack, my girl deserves more love)

Baxter got quite a lot, but they're mostly about ol1 baxter, ol2 baxter only got unrequited love playlist, haha.

When the full game comes out, I better see a lot of playlists for the individual characters from the playthrough (including mom 🥹), you know the ones, that portray/present the characters in some way, in this format (any time now fellas, keeping an eye out for them 🤷🏾‍♀️)!

(These aren't real, I just made them)

Sharing an umbrella with Tamarack

Riding behind Qiu's bike

Chilling with Renee

In the "Boys club" with Baxter

My suggestions (Not sure if it's good) :

Ember Island - Umbrella  (Tamarack, all steps)

MIKA ft. Ariana Grande - Popular Song  ( Qiu, all steps )

JVKE - golden hour (Qiu, steps 3-4)

Mindy Gledhill- I Do Adore (Tamarack, steps 2)

ok so in the olba step 3 dlc boating scene, I would like to point out that during the rock paper scissors, baxter picks rock. I refuse to believe this is a coincidence

i am so cool (<- talked to someone once and inspired them to create something)

So I wrote this post after my friends and I finished season 1 of OFMD. I went home and wrote it and I cried bc I realized I loved them so much and I was so happy to be gay and to have queer and supportive friends. The season 2 premiere aired on Thursday and last night I finally did what I’d been gathering the courage to do for a while, I went out, I walked the relatively short distance to one of the few lesbian bars in the united states that I am incredibly lucky to live so close to, and I danced with strangers and had the time of my life. It was easier than I thought; the hardest part about it was just the initial burst of courage to get up and head out the door. I’ve been socially anxious my whole life and I hate bars and I don’t know how to talk to people but I DID, a lovely guy there with his boyfriend and two best friends celebrating that one of them had recently passed the bar exam. And we danced and it was FUN.

All this to say this show has meant so much to me in the short time it’s been airing. It occurred to me recently that OFMD may be what I’ve been looking for in queer media for a long time. I wanted fiction that represented the difficulty it takes to realize who you are and what you want and to decide to reach out for that with both hands. I wanted media that didn’t tell me everything was and is horrible for us and that suffering was inevitable, but that didn’t erase our struggles either. And I think OFMD has struck that balance so well, especially with the historical setting and age of the characters; it was not all pain and misery back then. People back then were real and they were happy. They were able to have what they wanted. They could have it even if it seemed too late in life for them to change course.

I’ve always believed that fiction has a responsibility to show us not only how the world is but how it should be, and I want to thank David Jenkins and co. for this beautiful collaboration of a show that affirms me in my queerness like nothing else I’ve ever seen. This is how it could be. This is how it is. We can be happy.

Haven't had a lot of time for social media lately. Had a flurry of life changes in the last two months; could have sworn yesterday was the second week of February when in fact we are almost into May. As far as reading goes, I have been relying on Audio books more than I thought I ever would! It's extremely relaxing to be read to while doing mundane tasks. Thoroughly recommend it.

This post just got me realizing...

SHE HAS BRACES!!!

OUR LITTLE LADY GOT BRACES IN STEP 2!!

On another note... I don't like the implication that she might have gotten them because she was self-conscious about her teeth, just like she was about her brows :(

she is such a pretty little lady..... the embodiment of sunshine.....

[eviefrve]

somehow telling my ex i only wanna speak directly about necessary things hurts worse than when we were still talking normally??

[tenrose]

A Cosmology of monsters was only scary the first part because I thought I was gonna deal with characters getting more and more paranoid but it took a completely different direction.

However I'm not sure it's for the better because it's about dealing with grief, loneliness and depression and it's honestly to well written... I felt properly scared at the beginning but now I feel the heavy sadness and unsaid things and it's terrible...

I've barely put down the book...

[redding]

if there were no mothers who would post an assortment of obscure and semi unflattering pictures of you on your birthday??? (i love my mom so so much)

[that-culdesac-kid]

Yeah! And there's also this too:

And this isn't one of those special things that he will only say to a crush or a friend, so he's actually this attentive and caring to everyone. No wonder all those kids are catching feelings.

OK, has anyone got this yet????, like dam, he was worried
