You're also welcome! Aurora's design is very pretty uvu I also love how much effort you've put into her profile! I have the attention span of a puppy so I really struggle with creating full finished profiles =n=
Yeah, I do love me some simulation games, haha! I especially enjoy collecting stuff, I could spend hours IRL in the abandoned ruins... :--D And YEAH I felt so bad when I realized I was late, and then Arlo sent me this angry letter the next day... I felt so guilty I specifically made him an iron sword as a gift to apologize. xD He seemed to forgive my forgetfulness.
I kinda have my eye on Remington at the moment, but I also really like Phyllis, Paulie (for some reason I really like my fictional guys big at the moment x//D), Mint, and Gust. I just feel Remington would be the best match for my girl out of these four. Her personality is really fierce and temperamental so... the Duvos powder loving Remington might actually be able to handle her. >u> Knowing you like Revali I'm not too surprised you considered Gust, hehe! I actually love Gust's unfriendly personality and I enjoy imagining my girl arguing and bickering with him x'D But I don't think she'd actually be attracted to him. I kinda wish you could romance Higgins, that would make such a juicy story. :'D
Ahhh thanks so much for your kind words about my little girl!! >//u//< Hehe, ah well not all my profiles are like that but the "most important" need to have some more 'fleshed out' page x//D Even though I always think no one is gonna read through all this but pff I need to do this for myself and write all this out of my head before I forget it again lol xD
Hehe that's very good; my first game like this was harvest moon for SNES when I was a kid xD Do you know Story of Seasons? That's a very cute game too; I wish the festival events in Portia were a little bit like in SoS. Story of seasons has a bit more "couple interaction" on festivals and different dialogues on festivals as well when you are dating the character x//D
Aww may I ask what did the letter say?? I haven't gotten a letter like this yet because I never forgot a playdate/date (kinda do not have the heart to do it on purpose even though I know this gives an achievement looool).
Ohh Remington is a very nice guy too! And Paulie is an interesting choice as well I must say. Overall you have a good amount of candidates, I wonder which one will take the cake x//D I actually wanted to go blind into it and get everyone to know before I decide.. But I guess Arlo had other plans lol
omg Higgins xDDDD You can at least befriend him after the main game and even go on playdates with him, so there is headcanon potential xDDD
Sorry for the wall of text but I also need to ask something off topic xD Are you doing commissions and if so, do you have some info flying around to check? ahemaskingforafriendlol Actually thought of that a while ago already but couldn't find any info and then I forgot about it |D ..I mean my friend forgot about it rofl
Whoops, I pressed post comment instead of... whatever else I was trying to do there. x'D Let's try this again.
SO. It's a good idea to focus on the most important characters's profiles and make them really beautiful! I guess a part of my problem with character profiles is that... I have created a LOT of characters over the years, and I've already done the weeding out of the less important ones and only upload the more important ones on Toyhouse that I've actually used more or are currently "active." :'D So now I kinda have this pile of close to 100 characters (a lot of which are not even visible yet I think) that I really want to give a nice profile to. TT^TT I suppose you happen to have a lot of characters that represent you in one way or another, while I don't have those aside from my two or three actual sonas, so it might be easier for you to separate the REALLY important characters from the others? /interesting analysis lol
I've played Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town a little but I never got to the point where I would have gotten super close to the characters yet >n< I should pick that up again at some point. Simulation games tend to be a bit overwhelming for me in the beginning because there's just so much to do, so I like to focus on making money and farming/building/updating first and once I get the ball rolling on that sector I move on to making friends. I don't think I got to that point in SoS yet. I was in the process of wooing Damon though, that I remember. x//D If only you could date Lars...
The letter said "Where were you yesterday?! I'm really mad! Next time please be there, got it?" :'D I was like whoa, okay, this guy is ANGRY. Arlo seems so laid-back and then he's like YOU BETTER BE THERE NEXT TIME OR ELSE. x'D I'm just kidding of course, but the intensity of the short letter did surprise me because he does seem very friendly and laid-back otherwise. Now I'm curious as to what Remington or Paulie would say but I don't have the heart to stand anyone up on purpose either... I even reset a day once because I forgot a play and hadn't done anything super important that day. :'D
Yeah I imagine Paulie isn't most people's first (or second or third) choice, haha! I'm pretty strongly leaning towards Remington at the moment because he really would be a great match for my girl, but who knows, something might still happen that changes my mind. Hahah Arlo was just like "no that girl's mine, sorry guys :)" and went for Aurora xD He called dibs! Nobody else had a chance. Ah yeah, I think I read that about Higgins on the wiki while checking if he'd be dateable eventually. I'm glad you can at least befriend him! c: Right now I'm at the point in the game where I'm really starting to go after people's friendships and tbh I'm getting a bit impatient because I've been working on a nice TH profile for my player character Illusia and want to show it off already, but at the same time I don't want to write any relationship summaries before I actually get to know the characters in-game. 8'(
Lmao here's an even bigger wall of text in return :--D Ah, I'm afraid I don't really do commissions because uh... I have ADHD (currently still unmedicated bc my doctor hasn't given me an appointment to sort stuff out) and I really struggle to work on/finish art that I'm not super into, and then it becomes a cycle where I keep thinking I should do it but keep procrastinating and it becomes more and more of a chore in my mind, which makes it even harder to do =^= So I always end up taking like several months to finish commissions and that's not fair for a paying client. /rambliest explanation ever, sorry I might be willing to do some kinda art trade though if you're interested? That's not as... idk high pressure as when someone pays me with money. xD Idk, my brain works in mysterious ways.
Hah no problem, I have seen that and thought hmmmm I don't think that was intended loool x//D
Ohhhh I see! Oh boy 100 close characters is indeed a number! I don't think I had the patience to make a "full" and pretty page for so many >///< But at the other hand I am sure I would love to have it done xD Yes, to me only the ones that represent me are the closest and dearest; I do have a few favs on the others but I think they only have some "basic" profile and the rest... can be glad when they have one artwork uploaded in their gallery loool
I hope you get your profiles done at some point x//D Slow but steady progress is progress too ûu
You should really get back into SoS at some point but I can completely understand this overwhelming feeling at the beginning of such games x//D But it is a very cute and relaxing game as soon as you have a few things set up >u< I really enjoyed it! Ohh x//D I picked Iori in SoS Olive Town lol x//D
Oh damn, the letter x//D Since I am married with him, I really wonder what he would say to me lol I doubt I would still receive a letter, I think he would banish me for a night on the sofa lmao XDDDD
Aww if your heart says Remington, then Remington it (probably x//D) is for your girl x//D I bet you know about the romance/cheat thing in the game? I could never ever do that though xDDD But I find it funny they added these possible triangle-drama lol But that is nothing for me x///D I could never be unfaithful to him u//u
I am really curious about your character though, I would love to ch eck her out once you get her done or up on TH hehe x//D
Oh, it really was like that lol As soon as I have seen him, no one else had a chance anymore |D He threw the lasso on me xDD
I do not mind text walls >u<
Aww that is totally fine, I can really understand this! As for me I do not mind to wait months for a comm as long as the artist gives me feedback every now and then QuQ But I do feel the "pressure" on a commission as well when I do them. Which is why I do not want to have to many at once on my pile >n< This would stress me out lol
Ohh if you feel like doing an Art Trade with me instead, I would love to! I'd up for it whenever you want/feel comfy for it! Right now I also have a trade ongoing with your better half x//D I am a little slow with my part right now though sadly D//x At first I was art blocked, then I got sick lol But I'll get to it now x///D
Also, also. This is another super random thing but I want to bring this 10 year old topic up of.. maybe you know what I mean? Back on dA. I know this is probably yesterday's snow but now that we got to talk so nicely I have the urge to apologize to you personally for some dumb stuff I said back then as well. I hope you know I am not the same person anymore that I was like 10 years ago (would be horrible if so lool), and I know I said some really embarassing shit when I think back to it 8D" So, even if this was already old news for you, but I felt it were right to bring this up one last time and say sorry to you as well >//3//<"
Yeah no, I don't even know how I managed to click the Post Comment button... or what I was trying to do in the first place. xDD Clicking around aimlessly, it seems.
Exactly, I love all these characters of mine and I want to give them nice profiles so bad... but I think it's just such a huge task that I get overwhelmed before I can even start working on them. So there's just no hope of doing it in any kind of methodical way, I just have to kinda... work on any profile that I feel inspired and motivated to work on at any given time. Too bad most of my motivation happens while I'm supposed to/trying to do my day job xDD OTL It makes sense that your sonas and other representations of yourself would be the most important by far since you put a huge part of yourself into them! I'm always a little envious when people use their sonas and are actually able to imagine themselves romantically involved with their favorite canon characters. Doing that only makes me feel uncomfortable for some reason when I even try to do that. TT^TT I do love shipping my OC's to canon characters though and often I also give my characters some of my own traits (and problems lol) even if they're not otherwise representations of me. "the rest... can be glad when they have one artwork uploaded in their gallery" RELATABLE LOL :--D I've started filling these character stats sheets and uploading them for some characters that I really want to share but whose profile I'm not too motivated to work on. It's an okay placeholder for now. I guess. x'D
Yeah I should, shouldn't I! (Though right now I'm so into Portia... =u=) I think my farm was starting to do pretty well in SoS and the next step would have been to start befriending the characters so yesss, I should definitely get back to that as well. C: I think the super cutesy style of the game threw me off a little as well, because like... I liked Damon's personality but sometimes I felt like I was interacting with a teenager and it felt a bit weird to me. Iori is a nice choice, I haven't interacted with him too much yet so he still seems like this very... cool an mysterious type. He is cute though. uvu
Oh yeah true, that's a very interesting question! Would he still be that angry with his actual spouse? Hahahah the thought of him going "Where were you today?! I think you should sleep on the sofa tonight, I don't want to look at you right now." :'D Seriously though, I think when it comes to his wife he'd just be very worried about her and that worry could eventually come out as a short bout of anger that he'd get over very soon. From what I know about Arlo so far he doesn't seem like the type to act that immature with his spouse so after cooling off he'd just give them a sincere apologize and have a conversation about what happened. Also random but: after a certain interaction I had with Arlo today in the game, I understand why Aurora is only "neutral" about Nora... x//DD I was wondering about that. My Illusia is also kind of wary of both Nora and Lee tbh, she doesn't like religion :x So she told Arlo he shouldn't get together with Nora.
I have read that the cheating mechanic exists but didn't go too deeply into it... mostly because I don't think I could do that either! x//DD Illusia has way looser morals than I do and she might cheat in some circumstances, but since I'm the one playing the game... it probably won't ever happen. Unless I start with someone I don't really even want to date at first and then cheat on that person with Remington/whoever I want to be Illusia's endgame. HMMMM... I do love fictional drama... u_û But I could also just imagine all kinds of drama in my head without having to do it in-game. Choices, choices..
Oh, thank you for your interest in my Illusia! u///u I'll let you know when I finally make the profile public! ;u; And yeah, Arlo's pretty friendly to the player character (unless you *cough* accidentally ghost him *cough*), I think he was the first NPC that I got the buddy status with and that wanted to hang out with me. But of course some girls get even more special attention from him... <u< Not naming any names of course. Starts with an A and ends with an A.... I had this one morning in the game where both Arlo and Albert showed up at my door to ask me to hang out with them and I was like GUYS PLEASE... CALM YOUR TITS. And then I hung out with Arlo. As friends. Albert seems too eager to be """friends""" with all the girls... :T Tbh I think both Arlo and Remington might be the type to just not realize that their love interests actually have feelings for them too. They're like "damn, I think I really like this person, but what if they don't like me? I don't wanna come on too strong, what should I do" and Sam is there like "they held your hand and kissed you on the lips during your date. I'm PRETTY SURE they like you."
Heh, I also don't mind waiting for a commission for months, but I do mind making others wait. :---D There's also the fact that I'm kinda... recovering from a recent, pretty bad burnout in my day job so taking on commissions right now is probably not a great idea anyway. =n= An art trade feels like a lot less pressure for me, maybe because the other person is also working on a piece instead of just paying me money. :')) It's more of a "fun" thing instead of a "work" thing I guess? Oh yeah, Quick did mention your trade at some point and I think she showed me some of her initial sketches even?? I'm excited to see your part since if I remember correctly it includes one of my characters as well >u> But yeah, if you and I do an art trade, there's 0 pressure to get it done quickly. I'm really chill about trades and don't mind the other person taking a long time with their part. My sense of time is all weird anyway, just yesterday I was like "wait it's over halfway through MARCH, that means it's almost springtime?? I thought it was still like January" ...help :'D Maybe we should talk more about the trade in private messages or something? You probably already have some kind of an idea of what you'd like since you were inquiring about commissions, so feel free to message me about it at any time! c:
Oh, don't even worry about that old stuff at this point! I actually followed you on Twitter and TH as a friendly gesture and especially to try and show that I don't hold grudges from years ago. c: I even wanted to message you after following you on Twitter because I think Quick said you felt unsure about whether I'd be fine with you two being friends again? She mentioned it pretty vaguely, but I did get the impression that you were worried I wouldn't like... approve of your friendship or something? So I wanted to message you and let you know that I had nothing against said friendship or you personally (and even if I did it's not my business who Quick is friends with. Unless they actively hurt her, and even then I'd speak to her instead of the other person), but then it was suddenly months later and I was like "well now I'd feel silly messaging her out of nowhere since it's been months." :'I I really appreciate your apology though, and I'm also sorry for my hostility back then. I'm not sure what exactly I said anymore, but I do remember replying to that one journal of yours on dA in an embarrassing and I think kinda... vaguely emotionally manipulative way? OTL But I'm pretty sure we only actually interacted that one time back then so I see absolutely no need to hold onto any sort of grudge from that. c//: (As a completely unrelated side note, you say "yesterday's snow" in German? In Finnish we say "past winter's snow" xD I think that's neat. Our languages share quite a few phrases like this I believe. And words, like "washbear." /language nerd sdkfjsdlj)
And if you just make something simple for them first? QuQ That only includes some basic stuff and small things that are important for you to mention about this character? Like I did here for example:
https://toyhou.se/3110282.silence
A profile like this can be done quickly and you have at least something for them that you can then add more info to in the future? I mean yes it isn't something super duper wowie-pretty kind of profile but at least it is something xD
But I can really feel how discouraging it is at the same time with so many D//x Oh I know this feeling xD Every time I draw for someone else I have big inspiration and motivation to work on any kind of own stuff, but as soon as I HAVE the time for it... nothing happens lol
Yes! The Art Style of SoS is kind of... hmm... "bothering" me too? I mean it is cute and all but you are right, the romance candidates look and feel a bit like teenagers rather than young adults.. But as soon as you get used to it, it is okay x///DD
Will you play Portias sequel, my time at Sandrock, too? This will have a multiplayer too x//D We could visit each other at some point then lool I haven't played it yet but I am sure I will >///< It is still in beta and development though x///D I like how they start to build their world with different games; maybe we get other places to see in the future too >///< (My time at Duvos maybe? LOL Where the bad guys come from x//DDD)
Haha, yes, yes, of course he would not be that immature when his wife would make him wait forever on a date x///D But I find it kidna funny to think of what she needs to do to sleep on the sofa rofl xDDD But I agree, he would probably be worried-angry x//D When I digged through the game files.... Because I wanted to have all his voicelines.. |D (which I found lul), one of them shows that he wouldn't be mad indeed u///u When Aurora would gift him something he doesn't like to his birthday or anniversary, he would say in a nice tone "You knew I did not like this, do you? ahh.. what am I gonna do with you *soft laugh*" Hmmm *melts* xDDDD So with other words she could gift him now steamed potato fruit and he wouldn't be mad lool
And if she would forget to gift him something at all (would never happen though xD), he would say "Oh you.. (you can hear him smiling at that point lol) do better next time" but also in a .. soft voice, ahhh!!1dshjpivh *explodes* x///DD Ahem, sorry x//D
Ohhh that quest x//D I admit I really hated this quest loool It made me feel so uncomfy in RL because I was already head over heels in love with him xDDDD I just hated everything on it xDD But I was glad that he actually said himself to never had this kind of feelings and just seen her as little sister lol It honestly makes me happy (very happy lmao) that you decided to advise him not to give Nora a chance in your game as well xDDD And about Auroras profile.. At first I wanted to give Nora the hate status but at the other hand, she did nothing to her so Aurora has no reason to actually hate her. But Aurora surely does not want to befriend her xDD She does not even accept any of her commission requests, if she pins one on the board lmao
That would be a nice idea though, cheating on someone you actually doesn't like and go to the one you actually want to marry x///DD That's a way that I would try out too - sadly it is too late for me to do that rofl But, I hope you keep me updated how it's going with Remington u///u I wonder what kind of special quest he has when dating him oUo
Ahhhh x//DDD I had once 4 people standing there, wanting to hang out and I was like hello, am I a celebrity or what xD Sometimes I sneak past them loool Don't want to hang out every time x//DDDDDDDD Unless their Name is Arlo lol I remember one time, I was already married with him, he wanted to do a small couple-quest with me but there was also a bunch of people outside wanting to hang out xD So we went there, and when the quest was over, the symbol of him wanting to have a date with me showed up immediately xDD It was like as he has seen all the people in front of our home and be like "NOPE, Husband first" xDDDD
omg Albert xDD I really do not like him lol Sometimes he is saying "Aurora, we should hang out some time. You surely caught my attention.. *winkwink*" O_o And I am always like wtf Albert, you know she is taken, you've been on their wedding (for some reason lool)
Aww I agree, Remington and Arlo seem like that when it comes to feelings x//D Which is why I am still not 100% happy with my "how they came together" background lol Kinda want him to be the one to give the heart knot to her but hmm not sure if that really is "in character" xDDD Would be cool if all characters had the mechanic of proposing to the player - only Dr.Xu actually does that x//D When I gave Arlo the wedding Ring he said "I was waiting for this to happen" and I thought why haven't you done that then, did my kisses on your lips not tell enough lol xDD
True, I do not like to keep someone wait for too long when they paid me for a commission either >//n//< Which is why I always try to keep the list short lol Ohww I am sorry to hear you got a burnout!! Dx I hope you recover soon and already feel much better QuQ I can imagine taking commission in that situation would not really help to relax and calm down in general D//x An Art Trade feels indeed kidna different to that, and I really do not mind at all to draw something for you too >u< I will message you about it then, I guess this post already is long enough anyway x//D
Hehe yess!! My trade for her will be your couple Akira X Kosmic x//3 >//u//<
Aww thank you very much! I am really glad this is out of the way "now"; I know it kinda was before but it feels more complete for me now that I talked to you about this as well xD Yes! I was a little worried about that back then and that you might not feel okay when we would get in contact again ;u; Aww that would have been nice if you would have message me then, but I reaaaally feel this when time passes way too fast and all of a sudden it is months later and it wouldn't make sense anymore to now randomly come up with it again lol But I am very glad this is all good and in the past now Q//u//Q
Ohhh really? X///D That is so cool >///< Hehe yes, we would say "Das ist Schnee von gestern". We could also say "Kalter Kaffee" (cold coffee) to something that is long ago x//D What other similarities do you know of? >//< That's interesting x//D I also loved that Shinis old Character "Shini" was close to the word Sini, which is why she renamed and redesigned her >//< I found this was such a cool coincidence and I liked how close the original name was to this first x//D Also, is the Name "Riina" a common finish name btw? I actually did not know if so, I just took the last part of my real name Katharina and added another i (because a double letter is a common thing in an Asura-Name, which is why almost all of them have that in their name xD). But some day, someone in another online game than Guild Wars actually asking me "are you finish?" and I was huh xDDD
Riina
You're also welcome! Aurora's design is very pretty uvu I also love how much effort you've put into her profile! I have the attention span of a puppy so I really struggle with creating full finished profiles =n= Yeah, I do love me some simulation games, haha! I especially enjoy collecting stuff, I could spend hours IRL in the abandoned ruins... :--D And YEAH I felt so bad when I realized I was late, and then Arlo sent me this angry letter the next day... I felt so guilty I specifically made him an iron sword as a gift to apologize. xD He seemed to forgive my forgetfulness. I kinda have my eye on Remington at the moment, but I also really like Phyllis, Paulie (for some reason I really like my fictional guys big at the moment x//D), Mint, and Gust. I just feel Remington would be the best match for my girl out of these four.

I actually love Gust's unfriendly personality and I enjoy imagining my girl arguing and bickering with him x'D But I don't think she'd actually be attracted to him. I kinda wish you could romance Higgins, that would make such a juicy story. :'D

Aww if your heart says Remington, then Remington it (probably x//D) is for your girl x//D I bet you know about the romance/cheat thing in the game? I could never ever do that though xDDD But I find it funny they added these possible triangle-drama lol But that is nothing for me x///D I could never be unfaithful to him u//u
I am really curious about your character though, I would love to ch eck her out once you get her done or up on TH hehe x//D Oh, it really was like that lol As soon as I have seen him, no one else had a chance anymore |D He threw the lasso on me xDD
I do not mind text walls >u< Aww that is totally fine, I can really understand this! As for me I do not mind to wait months for a comm as long as the artist gives me feedback every now and then QuQ But I do feel the "pressure" on a commission as well when I do them. Which is why I do not want to have to many at once on my pile >n< This would stress me out lol Ohh if you feel like doing an Art Trade with me instead, I would love to! I'd up for it whenever you want/feel comfy for it! Right now I also have a trade ongoing with your better half x//D I am a little slow with my part right now though sadly D//x At first I was art blocked, then I got sick lol But I'll get to it now x///D
Also, also. This is another super random thing but I want to bring this 10 year old topic up of.. maybe you know what I mean? Back on dA. I know this is probably yesterday's snow but now that we got to talk so nicely I have the urge to apologize to you personally for some dumb stuff I said back then as well. I hope you know I am not the same person anymore that I was like 10 years ago (would be horrible if so lool), and I know I said some really embarassing shit when I think back to it 8D" So, even if this was already old news for you, but I felt it were right to bring this up one last time and say sorry to you as well >//3//<"

Yeah no, I don't even know how I managed to click the Post Comment button... or what I was trying to do in the first place. xDD Clicking around aimlessly, it seems.
Exactly, I love all these characters of mine and I want to give them nice profiles so bad... but I think it's just such a huge task that I get overwhelmed before I can even start working on them. So there's just no hope of doing it in any kind of methodical way, I just have to kinda... work on any profile that I feel inspired and motivated to work on at any given time. Too bad most of my motivation happens while I'm supposed to/trying to do my day job xDD OTL
It makes sense that your sonas and other representations of yourself would be the most important by far since you put a huge part of yourself into them! I'm always a little envious when people use their sonas and are actually able to imagine themselves romantically involved with their favorite canon characters. Doing that only makes me feel uncomfortable for some reason when I even try to do that. TT^TT I do love shipping my OC's to canon characters though and often I also give my characters some of my own traits (and problems lol) even if they're not otherwise representations of me.
"the rest... can be glad when they have one artwork uploaded in their gallery" RELATABLE LOL :--D I've started filling these character stats sheets and uploading them for some characters that I really want to share but whose profile I'm not too motivated to work on. It's an okay placeholder for now. I guess. x'D
Yeah I should, shouldn't I! (Though right now I'm so into Portia... =u=) I think my farm was starting to do pretty well in SoS and the next step would have been to start befriending the characters so yesss, I should definitely get back to that as well. C: I think the super cutesy style of the game threw me off a little as well, because like... I liked Damon's personality but sometimes I felt like I was interacting with a teenager and it felt a bit weird to me. Iori is a nice choice, I haven't interacted with him too much yet so he still seems like this very... cool an mysterious type. He is cute though. uvu
Oh yeah true, that's a very interesting question! Would he still be that angry with his actual spouse? Hahahah the thought of him going "Where were you today?! I think you should sleep on the sofa tonight, I don't want to look at you right now." :'D Seriously though, I think when it comes to his wife he'd just be very worried about her and that worry could eventually come out as a short bout of anger that he'd get over very soon. From what I know about Arlo so far he doesn't seem like the type to act that immature with his spouse so after cooling off he'd just give them a sincere apologize and have a conversation about what happened.
Also random but: after a certain interaction I had with Arlo today in the game, I understand why Aurora is only "neutral" about Nora... x//DD I was wondering about that. My Illusia is also kind of wary of both Nora and Lee tbh, she doesn't like religion :x So she told Arlo he shouldn't get together with Nora.
I have read that the cheating mechanic exists but didn't go too deeply into it... mostly because I don't think I could do that either! x//DD Illusia has way looser morals than I do and she might cheat in some circumstances, but since I'm the one playing the game... it probably won't ever happen. Unless I start with someone I don't really even want to date at first and then cheat on that person with Remington/whoever I want to be Illusia's endgame. HMMMM... I do love fictional drama... u_û But I could also just imagine all kinds of drama in my head without having to do it in-game. Choices, choices..
Oh, thank you for your interest in my Illusia! u///u I'll let you know when I finally make the profile public! ;u; And yeah, Arlo's pretty friendly to the player character (unless you *cough* accidentally ghost him *cough*), I think he was the first NPC that I got the buddy status with and that wanted to hang out with me. But of course some girls get even more special attention from him... <u< Not naming any names of course.
Starts with an A and ends with an A....I had this one morning in the game where both Arlo and Albert showed up at my door to ask me to hang out with them and I was like GUYS PLEASE... CALM YOUR TITS. And then I hung out with Arlo. As friends. Albert seems too eager to be """friends""" with all the girls... :TTbh I think both Arlo and Remington might be the type to just not realize that their love interests actually have feelings for them too. They're like "damn, I think I really like this person, but what if they don't like me? I don't wanna come on too strong, what should I do" and Sam is there like "they held your hand and kissed you on the lips during your date. I'm PRETTY SURE they like you."
Heh, I also don't mind waiting for a commission for months, but I do mind making others wait. :---D There's also the fact that I'm kinda... recovering from a recent, pretty bad burnout in my day job so taking on commissions right now is probably not a great idea anyway. =n= An art trade feels like a lot less pressure for me, maybe because the other person is also working on a piece instead of just paying me money. :')) It's more of a "fun" thing instead of a "work" thing I guess? Oh yeah, Quick did mention your trade at some point and I think she showed me some of her initial sketches even?? I'm excited to see your part since if I remember correctly it includes one of my characters as well >u> But yeah, if you and I do an art trade, there's 0 pressure to get it done quickly. I'm really chill about trades and don't mind the other person taking a long time with their part. My sense of time is all weird anyway, just yesterday I was like "wait it's over halfway through MARCH, that means it's almost springtime?? I thought it was still like January" ...help :'D
Maybe we should talk more about the trade in private messages or something? You probably already have some kind of an idea of what you'd like since you were inquiring about commissions, so feel free to message me about it at any time! c:
Oh, don't even worry about that old stuff at this point! I actually followed you on Twitter and TH as a friendly gesture and especially to try and show that I don't hold grudges from years ago. c: I even wanted to message you after following you on Twitter because I think Quick said you felt unsure about whether I'd be fine with you two being friends again? She mentioned it pretty vaguely, but I did get the impression that you were worried I wouldn't like... approve of your friendship or something? So I wanted to message you and let you know that I had nothing against said friendship or you personally (and even if I did it's not my business who Quick is friends with. Unless they actively hurt her, and even then I'd speak to her instead of the other person), but then it was suddenly months later and I was like "well now I'd feel silly messaging her out of nowhere since it's been months." :'I
I really appreciate your apology though, and I'm also sorry for my hostility back then. I'm not sure what exactly I said anymore, but I do remember replying to that one journal of yours on dA in an embarrassing and I think kinda... vaguely emotionally manipulative way? OTL But I'm pretty sure we only actually interacted that one time back then so I see absolutely no need to hold onto any sort of grudge from that. c//:
(As a completely unrelated side note, you say "yesterday's snow" in German? In Finnish we say "past winter's snow" xD I think that's neat. Our languages share quite a few phrases like this I believe. And words, like "washbear." /language nerd sdkfjsdlj)

And if you just make something simple for them first? QuQ That only includes some basic stuff and small things that are important for you to mention about this character? Like I did here for example: https://toyhou.se/3110282.silence A profile like this can be done quickly and you have at least something for them that you can then add more info to in the future? I mean yes it isn't something super duper wowie-pretty kind of profile but at least it is something xD But I can really feel how discouraging it is at the same time with so many D//x Oh I know this feeling xD Every time I draw for someone else I have big inspiration and motivation to work on any kind of own stuff, but as soon as I HAVE the time for it... nothing happens lol
Yes! The Art Style of SoS is kind of... hmm... "bothering" me too? I mean it is cute and all but you are right, the romance candidates look and feel a bit like teenagers rather than young adults.. But as soon as you get used to it, it is okay x///DD
Will you play Portias sequel, my time at Sandrock, too? This will have a multiplayer too x//D We could visit each other at some point then lool I haven't played it yet but I am sure I will >///< It is still in beta and development though x///D I like how they start to build their world with different games; maybe we get other places to see in the future too >///< (My time at Duvos maybe? LOL Where the bad guys come from x//DDD)
Haha, yes, yes, of course he would not be that immature when his wife would make him wait forever on a date x///D But I find it kidna funny to think of what she needs to do to sleep on the sofa rofl xDDD But I agree, he would probably be worried-angry x//D When I digged through the game files.... Because I wanted to have all his voicelines.. |D (which I found lul), one of them shows that he wouldn't be mad indeed u///u When Aurora would gift him something he doesn't like to his birthday or anniversary, he would say in a nice tone "You knew I did not like this, do you? ahh.. what am I gonna do with you *soft laugh*" Hmmm *melts* xDDDD So with other words she could gift him now steamed potato fruit and he wouldn't be mad lool And if she would forget to gift him something at all (would never happen though xD), he would say "Oh you.. (you can hear him smiling at that point lol) do better next time" but also in a .. soft voice, ahhh!!1dshjpivh *explodes* x///DD Ahem, sorry x//D
Ohhh that quest x//D I admit I really hated this quest loool It made me feel so uncomfy in RL because I was already head over heels in love with him xDDDD I just hated everything on it xDD But I was glad that he actually said himself to never had this kind of feelings and just seen her as little sister lol It honestly makes me happy (very happy lmao) that you decided to advise him not to give Nora a chance in your game as well xDDD
And about Auroras profile.. At first I wanted to give Nora the hate status but at the other hand, she did nothing to her so Aurora has no reason to actually hate her. But Aurora surely does not want to befriend her xDD She does not even accept any of her commission requests, if she pins one on the board lmao
That would be a nice idea though, cheating on someone you actually doesn't like and go to the one you actually want to marry x///DD That's a way that I would try out too - sadly it is too late for me to do that rofl But, I hope you keep me updated how it's going with Remington u///u I wonder what kind of special quest he has when dating him oUo
Ahhhh x//DDD I had once 4 people standing there, wanting to hang out and I was like hello, am I a celebrity or what xD Sometimes I sneak past them loool Don't want to hang out every time x//DDDDDDDD Unless their Name is Arlo lol I remember one time, I was already married with him, he wanted to do a small couple-quest with me but there was also a bunch of people outside wanting to hang out xD So we went there, and when the quest was over, the symbol of him wanting to have a date with me showed up immediately xDD It was like as he has seen all the people in front of our home and be like "NOPE, Husband first" xDDDD
omg Albert xDD I really do not like him lol Sometimes he is saying "Aurora, we should hang out some time. You surely caught my attention.. *winkwink*" O_o And I am always like wtf Albert, you know she is taken, you've been on their wedding (for some reason lool)
Aww I agree, Remington and Arlo seem like that when it comes to feelings x//D Which is why I am still not 100% happy with my "how they came together" background lol Kinda want him to be the one to give the heart knot to her but hmm not sure if that really is "in character" xDDD Would be cool if all characters had the mechanic of proposing to the player - only Dr.Xu actually does that x//D When I gave Arlo the wedding Ring he said "I was waiting for this to happen" and I thought why haven't you done that then, did my kisses on your lips not tell enough lol xDD
True, I do not like to keep someone wait for too long when they paid me for a commission either >//n//< Which is why I always try to keep the list short lol Ohww I am sorry to hear you got a burnout!! Dx I hope you recover soon and already feel much better QuQ I can imagine taking commission in that situation would not really help to relax and calm down in general D//x An Art Trade feels indeed kidna different to that, and I really do not mind at all to draw something for you too >u< I will message you about it then, I guess this post already is long enough anyway x//D
Hehe yess!! My trade for her will be your couple Akira X Kosmic x//3 >//u//<
Aww thank you very much! I am really glad this is out of the way "now"; I know it kinda was before but it feels more complete for me now that I talked to you about this as well xD Yes! I was a little worried about that back then and that you might not feel okay when we would get in contact again ;u; Aww that would have been nice if you would have message me then, but I reaaaally feel this when time passes way too fast and all of a sudden it is months later and it wouldn't make sense anymore to now randomly come up with it again lol But I am very glad this is all good and in the past now Q//u//Q
Ohhh really? X///D That is so cool >///< Hehe yes, we would say "Das ist Schnee von gestern". We could also say "Kalter Kaffee" (cold coffee) to something that is long ago x//D What other similarities do you know of? >//< That's interesting x//D I also loved that Shinis old Character "Shini" was close to the word Sini, which is why she renamed and redesigned her >//< I found this was such a cool coincidence and I liked how close the original name was to this first x//D Also, is the Name "Riina" a common finish name btw? I actually did not know if so, I just took the last part of my real name Katharina and added another i (because a double letter is a common thing in an Asura-Name, which is why almost all of them have that in their name xD). But some day, someone in another online game than Guild Wars actually asking me "are you finish?" and I was huh xDDD
