First impression to Baxter Ward

*Spoiler Alert!! Containing discussion of Cove Step 3 DLC and Wedding DLC!!

Actually, I got bad impression to Baxter on the first meeting lol. Out of three boys, he totally gets a negative score hahaha

Same as some people, I'm not a fan of forwardness and I really don't like his not so serious in relationship vibes. So, at first base game playthrough, basically I just keeping a polite distance with him until the end.

Until second playthrough, I start trying some different options. And this time, I make my MC agree with what Baxter praise about Cove's name, and that turn out make Cove feel uncomfortable. And it surprise me that, Baxter do notice his discomfort and apologize immediately. Before this, I always thought Baxter was an arrogant city boy ( Can't blame me, look at how he dress), who doesn't care about other people. And this is the point that I think i should give him a chance.

And yes, after hang and boating, Baxter totally change my thought about him. He is a polite man, a cautious driver and don't even mind playing party game with others. Eventually, I do start think he is a very interesting person, and wouldn't mind having a friendship bond with him. But! Still, it's not enough to give me the motivation to buy his dlc (Sorry

And again, a changing point come, I buy the Wedding DLC after second playthrough.

The dlc really caught me off guard, when he just appear like that. World is so small, huh?

But I recover from the shock very soon, and really flustered on the wedding prepared ( oh god, who knows it's such complex, so many unfamiliar things) Until the dance practice, when MC got the opportunity to talk to Baxter one on one. And... somethings Baxter said, and how he was acting... really bother me. I was like, what happened to him during these years?

And since then, I finally make my mind like " I definitely gonna buy his dlc! I'm so curious!" Sorry Baxter, I really not that interested to your appearance at first, even you're really good looking haha. Personality go first for me ;)

After finished his dlc, I got to say, it's PAIN but very WORTHY.

Doodle dump!

Brainrot so bad i made a fanchild 💀💀💀

Also dont ask me why i have tons of colored sketches in such a short amount of time im also freaking myself out 💀

[avalordream]

Prompt: Imagine you get isekaied in Our Life. Only thing is that you wake up as a child and remember everything. You can only save at this point but you can still access the save and load menu and see your previous runs.

Meanwhile your precious neighbor is slowly becoming self aware, getting deja vu with every passing second- as if this has all happened before...

A/N: A few days after I posted this- a few other thoughts came to mind- SO HERE IS MY ATTEMPT AT VOCALIZING THEM

You’re keenly aware of how small and tiny you are the moment you wake up. 

For the first few days, you started to acclimate to…the family home. 

It wasn’t YOUR family though. It never was. It was MC’s. Not your’s.

You could project all you wanted onto MC but it was never your family or your life to experience. It was theirs.

Even so, you quickly found yourself missing the life you were used to. More specifically:

The cuisine.

It was hard not to draw suspicion to the fact that you were craving different food genres aside from Mom’s Pamela’s mac and cheese and cheeseburgers. 

Ma’s Noelani’s Hawaiian food helped quite a bit to hold you over as you started to ponder over how to approach it.

Kind of hard to bring it up to your MC’s parents that you wanted Asian/Middle eastern/Indian/Pakistani/Mexican/etc food when there was none of that for miles around

For the time being, you had to quietly hint and nudge their thoughts into that direction but not enough to make them suspicious. Noelani obviously had her suspicions about Cove getting into the house from Step 2-3 but never brought it up once. From what you could tell, she was scary observant

Another issue was how clumsy your new body was.

Your mind might be able to remember how to do everyday tasks like writing and such but this tiny body didn’t have the muscle memory to match it

Much to Liz’s dismay, you spent quite a bit of your time forcing your hands and legs to train to do things your adult body could do in a snap

Time wise- technology was a huge sucker punch. It made you feel bad for taking your own devices for granted. 

That being said, self learning everything was going to be hard without a phone or computer on hand, especially knowing that you’d have to go through the cursed education system all over again- but most likely much harder

There had to be a reason older folk complained about it, right?...

Your MC’s birthday was the same as your own, just that the birth year is 1997. That being said, the current year was 2006… Funny. You were only two in 2006…

…

Back to self learning, you tried to practice what you considered basic math long after everyone had fallen asleep

Usually, your day was filled with entertaining Shiloh and Liz, playing in the park or going along with whatever Liz said. Judging by the giant for sale sign across the street and the date, you figured out that you got isekaied roughly at least a month or two before Cove and Mr. Holden would move in. 

Who knew how that would go now that you weren’t subjected to just three choices?

Even after playing around, your body was exhausted and your baby mind was just as pooped out.

The first few days you would wake up early as children do and tried doing your math and remembering as much as you could at that time

Yeah, Liz nearly gave you a heart attack after she barged in and you had to play it off as you scribbling absolute nonsense cause you were bored

After that near collision, you changed your prep time to being at night. Sure, you woke up to Liz shaking you and not getting enough sleep in the morning, but you needed to refresh your memory the best you could

You couldn’t do it every night though and did your best to keep some sort of schedule so you wouldn’t forget - and worry your MC’s moms

They noticed the first few times of how sleepy you’d be when you’d wake up later than usual - granted if Liz didn’t wake you up - and a few nights after, you nearly got caught right in the middle of your review.

Pam was more sneaky than Noelani, so you should’ve seen this coming- but even so, you had everything spread out on your rug when you just barely heard her footsteps come to your MC’s door

You had enough time to shove everything underneath your bed - your room was messy enough but better safe than sorry - and quickly dive under the covers before you heard your door open with the softest of clicks

She was around for a good while before you heard the door close again but you didn’t relax until you were sure her footsteps went back to the master bedroom

After that, you were much more careful about how long you spent studying and when. You haven’t been caught since.

Occasionally, you’d have to sneak in your MC’s parent’s room to grab any books that you needed. Good thing Noelani was a book nerd.

You did have to be careful about your self learning- you didn’t want them getting any suspicions that their kid was suddenly…different out of nowhere.

You had no idea what MC was like as a kid before the events of Our Life so you tried your best to piece together what you could 

Speaking of, there were a bunch of things you quickly realized about Our Life, one of which is that game didn’t go over nearly everything that MC went through, let alone before Cove came or others that it only touched on briefly

For example, the tourists that came and went every year happened to be close friends of Pamela’s from her time in university, hence why they were so friendly to you and Liz in particular. 

It was also why they knew how to… handle your ever changing moods. At least-

That’s what it looked like to them.

To you- it was because you had to battle MC’s initial responses to these scenarios.

Go figure, this body still had its fair share of emotions inside of it, leaving you to figure out if this sharp pang of fear or worry was your own or not.

It left you second guessing everything you did, especially when you’d be up at night, studying and practicing your writing

It seriously irked you, knowing your writing was sloppy even though you knew this body couldn’t help it. It didn’t make seeing your scrappy writing less frustrating though

Despite how much you tried to hide how YOU felt, not MC, Noelani still picked up on the small shifts in your behavior. 

One of these being the irritation you harbored for your writing. 

Speaking of emotions, you found your body easily overwhelmed by any stronger ones- your own irritation making you cry- an alien feeling and one that took even you by surprise.

Worse part? The first time happened was in front of Noelani when she tried to help you practice your penmanship

Naturally, she tried to comfort you MC by trying to console you, saying it’d be better with practice and wiping away your tears but no matter how YOU tried, the tears wouldn’t stop flowing

It wasn’t until much later that you realized that MC’s tiny self had their own limits and by pushing those adult feelings and expectations that YOU had onto it sent it into a messy overdrive.

After that, you had learned to slow down- the world wasn’t ending…even if it felt like it.

…

The nail in the coffin for you that made YOU cry. Not MC’s body: Your dreams started to resemble parts of your life. 

You’d dream that you were back at your desk job or filling out mundane paperwork but no matter how boring it’d be, it was YOUR life.

The one YOU were used to and familiar with

You’d always feel so relieved to be back where you were supposed to, whether you were happy with that life or not

It was that feeling of having all your choices in your hand and being in control of where you wanted to go, if that made sense.

Nobody made those choices for you except well…you.

Only to have that feeling of familiarity ripped away once you registered Liz waking you up to play while “Ma and Mom snooze the day away!”

…

You just want to go home…

To YOUR home…

"I'll just have to look for you if I wind up having another chance at life or magically end up in some other world"

Based on this:

Anyway, don't be a stranger

Lil cheeky thought I had about Cove Holden recently:

I've seen that joke floating around about being teased for being short, and the response is "well, put a few inches in me then," and someone even made a comic of this dynamic with Cove (it was v cute, if someone knows who I'm talking about plz tell me so I can credit them 🙏 ETA: comic is from crowdeerdire. Go like it ❤️❤️) .

Anyway, it got me thinking about how Cove would react to this.

18 y/o Cove? What we could expect. Surprise, flared up cheeks, stumbling over his words. Cute lil bashful boy.

But 30 y/o Cove? MENACE.

I imagine he'd look at you flatly with just the slightest lil smirk he was trying to hide before just saying "okay."

OR if we wanna lean into the cannon of him becoming more confident with you and with himself as he grew older, I could totally see him saying "Okay, I have a few to spare, I think."

Like just said so bluntly with a small smile because you know he's got some pride (the man is 6'4", come on). He always comes out swinging, throwing out flirty quips that take you entirely off guard.

Like it used to be so easy to tease him, get a rise out of him. Now, it's you that fans him off with pink cheeks and he KNOWS IT. It's obvious that it's because he's so comfortable with you but it's still jarring when it happens.

Idk the brain rot got to me with this one. I'm so sorry.

[sugar-omi]

happy valentines day to my our man !!!!🙈🙈🙈🤭

[buried-in-autumn-leaves]

I need to make everything about ME so here's what I think every our life / xoxo droplets love interest would add to your altar.

Cove: Seashells. It does not matter who the altar is for. He finds one he thinks is pretty, adds it, then asks if they're going to hate it.

Derek: I was thinking motivational notes. He wants you to be your best self just as much as they do <3

Baxter: CRYSTALS ! Like fitting ones too this loser will look up 'love crystal' on google when dating an Aphrodite devotee and think he's all that giving them rose quartz.

Qiu: Drawings !! Cute little doodles like suns and statues and trees. I can also see them getting into poetry writing.

Tamarack: Sort of like her stuff from the forest in step one, I definitely see her making a REALLY good altar for Demeter, but just natural stuff in general !

Nate: I'm gonna be real I just see him looking over your shoulder at any writings / prayers / letters and correcting your spelling and grammar. (He means well– They're for someone important, after all.)

Everett: Jewlery and other trinkets ! However he is not going to actually admit they're FOR you, he'll pretend they're his that he just doesn't like anymore, wdym you've never seen his pomegranate charm ??? Stfu.

Bae: He's the one I see bringing the food offerings. He thinks he's better at everything so he'll make food for you and act like he just did everyone in the world a favour.

Shiloh: Just... the worst (best) additions. I don't know how to explain exactly but like your Hermes altar now has a rubber chicken on it. No, he doesn't know how it got there, why would he ?

Jeremy: A little bit of a cop out but I think he'd like help clean and cleanse your offerings before they go on. He doesn't really care about the practice in general, but he also doesn't trust you to clean anything properly yourself.

Pran: More drawings but in like a darker way- I see her art fitting more on something for Ares than for someone like Apollo.

i peel oranges neatly. the sections come apart cleanly, perfectly, in my hands. when cove peels an orange, he tears holes in it. juice squirts in all directions. "taion," he says, "i don't know how you do it!" cove is my best friend. i hope he never learns how to peel oranges.

[twincovesgame]

if you could describe the routes with one word what would it be?

I couldn’t just boil them down to one word… so here are 2 to 3 words. Also needed to avoid anything too spoilery.

Azriel: hurt/comfort

Cass: second chance

Damián: marriage of convenience

Eli: forced proximity

Kai: childhood friends rivals

Lir: friends to lovers

Misha: rockstar romance

Rook: fake dating

Wren: chivalry isn’t dead

Xander: slow burn
