Sky maybe broken, but today it was really fun to play 💖

Bug report under android:

- Some realms are locked

- Aviary locked

- Wind path locked

- Red Dots in Constellations + zoom-out-bug

- All cutscenes will play when enter a season realm

- Nest unaccessible

Explanation and Fix:

It seems that some progress was reseted or is currently not accessable from the sky servers, so some areas are not unlucked for us yet. Think back to your moth days and weeeeee again!

You need to fly though the realms and use the temples to enter the next realm. This will trigger all cutscenes at once. Wind path is locked too, but you can enter it through Forest at the beginning.

If you didn't set Aviary as your home you will need a friend currently to enter.

To enter your nest you theoretically need to trigger the end-animation of season of IKEA, but the entrance is locked! LOL

More I haven't figured out yet. Maybe tomorrow it is fixed again, BUT playing was really fun today. Seeing the animation in one long stream was really nostalgic and I had a cool adventure with ma friends 💖

So try it out if it still last!

I always tell people to keep making new friends regularly for this reason. This is the easiest way to get hearts! I get at least three a week just from sending and receiving daily gifts.

Even if you already have lots of active friends, make at least a few new friends a month. Friends will come and go in Sky. Real life gets in the way, or they just get tired of it. You need a small but steady stream of replacements.

I never turn down an offer of friendship from a new player. Sometimes if they’re just hanging around me and seem amicable, I’ll offer first, since many new players run out of candles. I open trade immediately too, and every new moth I meet gets a heart gratis.

Many of them will disappear quickly, but you’ll have a few who stick around for the long haul, maybe buddies from Discord you chat with regularly and gift daily light to even if you don’t see each other in the game itself all that often.

do y’all ever get like SUPER fixated on stuff???

well when i saved up and got my first musical instrument (a harp) in sky cotl i was DETERMINED to practice the Mipha theme from Zelda botw (because she is my absolute fav).

i did the entire quest for harmony hall and spent DAYS perfecting the melody and trying to match the tune to the theme as good as I was able to.

i finally got it how i wanted to so i could fit it in one of the music memories things and went to Valley to play it in the castle area thing with the manta spirit and the microwaves, and spent hours to get it just right.

so today i log on and as im trying to get my sister to play with me (by bribing her) one of my first ever sky kid friends who i haven’t talked to in a while cause of time zones comes up to me and tells me about how they saw my song and they LOVED IT!

when i tell you that it literally made my day im not exaggerating

it was also so nice to connect with them after not playing together for while, even if it was only for a few minutes.

lesson learned: don’t be afraid to tell people you like their art, writing, music, anything, because it makes people feel good about something that they spent a lot of time on, or maybe they didn’t like how it turned out. it makes people feel good about their work when you like it, so don’t be afraid to tell them!!

Idk what he meant by that... just looks better...

Caption:

Yellow box: You look particularly good today

Black box: i wonder why you say that

Black Box: it's almost as if you have a Big Ego

Based on a conversation in Sky I’ve had with two friends of mine, we were talking about the surprise Qixi festival in the hidden forest(the last four panels are a hc of my sky character tho)

What I’m talking about, one of the friends told me it was based on a star crossed lovers festival that meet once a year(i don’t remember much from what she said but only that) So when she was telling me about it and that the two would hug at midnight, I wanted them to get together already cause I was like “awww let them be happy and be together already >:(” So I ‘pushed’ them to try and bring them together faster(this didn’t work, obviously). Then I came back on sky around midnight to see them hug and met with the two friends there but the spirits hugged when I came so we missed it, barely

Jo and Rudy are epic buds. Jo the elegant daredevil lady and Rudy the butch girl boss. And Angel (me) the silent and goofy dude in the crew.

I drew my Sky character again, they've changed quite a lot already ✨!

[deadsetobsessions]

Danny no longer has a haunt. So… he decides to find another one. And while he technically has a whole world (other dimensions aren’t an option because he’s going to stay near where Jazz’s grave is, damn it) there’s only a couple of other places with enough ambient ectoplasm to sustain him. Nanda Parbat, Tokyo, and Gotham.

Nanda Parbat had a weird old musty immortal that kept trying to summon him and exchange power for the ability to “take a worthy body and rain as much destruction” as he’d like. As if Danny would need a body to bring the world to its knees.

Tokyo… it’s too far from Jazz’s grave. He could ask Wulf or even open his own portal but when Danny tried it out, Tokyo was too peaceful. Obviously there’s crime, but nothing… nothing big like Danny’s used to.

Danny ends up picking Gotham, even if the sewer zombies and the weird group of rich fruit loops with an adoption problem creeps him out. So, he destroys the portal, packs up his parents’ house and sells it, and hauls ass to the cesspool calling his name. His family’s stuff is stored respectfully in a vault located on the deepest parts of his personal haunt in the Infinite Realms.

And honestly, he’s doing better. Sure, he’s got a shitty apartment near another revenant’s almost-haunt and he feels like he’s drowning all of the time, but Danny isn’t in danger of turning into Dan, he’s catching up on royal paperwork, and he’s got like a job as a barista. In his own coffee shop that paid for using his parent’s money (who, despite their hazardous everything, made a crap ton of money off of their more normal inventions).

Gotham’s got some pretty interesting local gangs, most of which respected the sanctity of Danny’s cafe. Sure, they tried blowing it up and tried extorting money from him in the form of “protection costs” but after three months of failure, they gave up.

(Really, the local gangs gave up when they saw him take three shotgun shells to the chest and continued to work.) (They didn’t know it never hit him. Intangibility is extremely useful.)

The Rogues, on the other hand, just gave Danny flashbacks. Their gimmicks are different, sure, but after years of Box Ghost, Skuller, Lunch Lady, etc., Danny’s more than done with costumed villains. They don’t bother him either. Some of the reason is probably due to Harley and Ivy, who had walked into the cafe and (because they were bruised and scratched up from a fight) triggered Danny’s mother hen tendencies. They were promptly fed and watered and caffeinated and their hyenas were also similarly taken care of. They declared the cafe under their protection and that was that.

Red Hood stops by, and begins to interrogate him. But when Danny met his… helmet eyes? The crime lord paused, paid for his coffee, and sat in a corner table of the cafe for the rest of the day.

And he kept coming back?

But Danny figures it’s because Hood was a revenant and people who had come close to death tends to feel more comfortable around him.

(Considering this is Gotham where people almost die every other day? Yeah, he’s pretty much friends with everyone. Or at least, less likely to get shot.)

(Hood does stay because of the King’s presence and the Pit calming itself, but also Danny’s hot and he’s got a sleeper build and Hood definitely did not imagine himself in the place of the heavy box he saw Danny lift effortlessly onto a table. No.)

But of course, the peace couldn’t last forever. But by then, Danny was so antsy, he welcomed the trouble with open arms.

It starts with a clown. Danny knows who he is. He knows who Danny is.

So, Danny has no idea why the clown thought it would be a good idea to aggravate the owner of Gotham’s official neutral grounds. See, Clovkwork? Danny’s learned how to gauge his own political importance!

“HAHAHAHAHA! COME OUT, DANNY-BOY! LET ME TELL YOU A JOKE!”

Danny comes out and grabs a chair, and with a flat expression, says, “you’re not funny and I hate clowns.”

And then he swings and slams the chair into the Joker’s face. Over and over again until Danny’s sure the clown won’t get back up. The thing about Gotham’s outdoor chairs is that they’re mad out of steel and are bolted down to the ground to prevent undedicated thieves (dedicated thieves can and will steal the bolted down steel chairs). The Joker’s hired muscle just watched this scrawny twenty-something year old yank the steel chair and take some of the fucking ground and the bolts with it and beat the fuck out of their boss who is the literal Joker.

They surrender on the spot and is taken to jail. Danny just smiles at the officers who come by and since he’s got pretty privilege and they don’t want to mess with the guy who, again, owns one of Gotham’s official neutral ground and also beat up Joker without breaking a sweat, the officers just lets him go with a warning.

And then the bats comes, and wow, Danny’s playing mentor to a formally dead person again!

But before that, the Red Hood asks for an autograph on the Gotham Gazette article with a picture of a tired Danny standing over Joker’s prone body. Then Hood stammers through asking Danny out (which Danny said yes to because he’s tired, not blind, and Hood is built like a brick house and HOT).

Batman interrogates him. Danny, who can tell that this man needs therapy and is Sad TM, tells Bats that Danny’s died before and that’s why he’s like this. He also calls Batman a furry, but like in a nice way. And then he kicks Batman out with a coffee and a file on Nanda Parbat.

Now, Danny’s got a date to prepare for and he realizes that maybe this is what Jazz wanted for him- to be happy and mostly safe and happy. (Or, happier, he thinks. It’s been a long time since he’s been truly happy, but this might be a good start)

Sky Fish

So. Haven't posted in a while. But I have knowledge I NEED to share with the world. I can't think of a funny way to portray it so... -serves it up on a platter-

The Sky Fish familiar that Marcille makes in episode 22 / chapter 48.

This is "real".

This is the cryptid or UMA (read: yu-ma or Unidentified Mysterial Animals) known in Japan as the Sky Fish, and in English as a flying rod or rod.

So like, this is actually a thing. Japanese TV loves UFOs and Cryptids (or maybe I'm biased because my Beetle is the one who's obsessed but.) the timing for This Specfic Cryptid's popularity and when Ryoko Kui was writing/starting out with this story, are around the same time. This specific UMA had such an impact on me when i first saw it in TV 10ish years ago, that I was so excited about its appearance, and then confused and amused in equal measure when my Capybara had no idea what I was talking about.

AND THE TV SHOW I WATCHED! the original episode clip is still on youtube, although lacking English subtitles (although you can translate the auto generated subtitles to English if you want to try).

Basically, Jose Escamilla of Roswell, New Mexico (and several other sources around middle and South America) caught this UMA/Cryptid on video in 90s? But the story and other people catching them on video and in pictures still pop up, but with improved phone cameras, the proof that it's likely just bugs flying at just the right frame rate to make a long cat style image is more prevalent lol.

But this was/is a super popular UMA in Japan. Like, there are gacha minis, and figures, cryptid books, and other anime featuring these lil guys.

JoJo's bizarre adventures Stone Ocean's Sky High stand, Skytails from Zelda, and a Kemono Friend are some examples.

I want a lil sky fish figurine now...

But yea...

WOO SKY FISH CRYPTIDS FTW
