#friendsim 7

I just finished it and I’ve got a few takeaways here, in no particular order.

Marvus is an art appreciator confirmed; possibly making it more likely that he’s also the purpleblood in Ardata’s route.

also Zebruh commissions art from Remele, which is frankly hilarious, especially since she overcharges the fuck out of him. 

It’s also really interesting to note the existence of art shows like this- it gives a good look into Amisia’s character(who is also mentioned in the route, which is cool), like reasons she is so upset about how she isn’t good at art; especially when she’s a highblood, and other highbloods both above and below her are doing much better than she is. that also makes me wonder, what’s an artist like Charun doing? because they’re a greenblood, presumably they can’t have art shows like this. I think that’ll be really interesting to explore when it comes to them!

Also, I love how interconnected the volumes are getting! first we had Bronya showing up in Elwurd’s route, and now we’re getting more of that, plus regular namedropping and visual cameos, and im just :D about it! It makes me very excited for future friendsims!

looks like usernames arent quite the same in hiveswap as in homestuck, which is really interesting! we have countryyladyy543 instead of tags like arachnidsGrip. that makes me wonder if that means trollian is the hot new thing on the block, or what, since I believe homestuck canonocially happens after the events in hiveswap(or possibly, it’s an entirely different timeline, especially considering the pop culture references are much newer in hiveswap, obviously)!

Azdaja and Konnyl are matesprits!! which honestly, took me by surprise; I definitely clocked them more as moirails, but matesprits are just as good. also, Konnyl is the jojo’s bizarre adventure to Azdaja’s Dragonball Z. that’s just all there is to it.
