ohh !! my silly detective i roll around in my brain but can never think of anything (simple) to draw her doing

okay so, this is just for fun and silly and for me, but. In Find Everything, when you're being chased by Cal and then interact with an NPC or sign, Cal pulls out a newspaper to read while waiting for you to finish. The Yippee Times! Surely, this would be something Watcher Macallit would read.

And, while the general consensus from fans on what this means relates to the various Thing seeds found around game - especially when the interact/pick-up button on mobile looks like the exact question mark in the newspaper, to me .. it can relate to Watcher Macallit. I mean, her whole schtick is that she is a detective who is investigating the mysterious nature of Things (and is bad at it) so, maybe she put it in the paper as an ad - or it might be an article or opinion piece that she'd be very interested in. Who knows, but it is everything to me and Macallit.

Also, I don't think some people caught it, but the little "cigarette" Watcher Macallit has in his mouth is a piece of chalk. He eats that shit. Mainly because it's.. Roblox game and I wanted it to be cohesive to what you can show. Can you show a character smoking in Roblox?

you know i never talk about it much (partially because it required me thinking over the specifics of some things and i only now came to a solid conclusion on it) but like.

after everything is said and done and miranda isn't a princess anymore and her and aaravi are actually living together, bellanda is also living with them too. like, this is why aaravi joining the miivt'ia with bellanda and miranda is so important, because this is the basic merfolk social unit and theyre supposed to have these incredibly deep and lifelong relationships where they just never are alone. the norm for miivt'ia would be that they would live together and help take care of each other and form a "household" together, and aaravi's just entering that because she loves miranda, and that means she has to get close to bellanda too.

which means as she gets close to bellanda too and is fully considered a part of the miivt'ia, theres also the expectation that. yeah. aaravi will now be including bellanda in the rest of her life too. thats a part of the deal, merfolk dont just come as singles, shes gotten in close with two and both are expected to be a part of her life now.

He does not know what fun is, I'm sorry.

4. whats an inside joke you have with your family or friends?

9. tell a story about your childhood

Shipping meme.

HM HMMMM

okay, so the main issue you need to keep in mind first off is that i don't really care for the PCs very much. not anything special, just the same thing as always where, by proxy of having literally no writing or Anything about them or describing what they were like, they never felt like actual characters to me and the recent work in roadtrip and the like, trying to flesh them out, is trying to work uphill and only makes them seem criminally flat and boring to me. i could tell you far less about vicky and what she cares about and what her inner world and emotions are like than i could tell you about scott or about valerie or about basically any other characters. and this, combined with how much the fandom loves them and uses them as self inserts (not a bad thing necessarily, very much intended by design) has not greatly endeared me to them either. they're charming little designs, and IMO they should have remained that way.

which is always going to have to be the disclaimer i give with all the PC ships, you know? i don't really know how to describe the PC side of the equation, which means its very hard to describe the relationship between the characters. one of these characters is much more interesting and dynamic, designed with a synergy between their personality, appearance, history, plot, and voice, and the other looks pretty with a personality coming in two games later.

i understand a lot of people love PC ships! and they love the PCs! i understand they mean a lot to a lot of people!

its just also sad that unfortunately they do not mean very much to me and that's going to impact how i think of them in ships.

so... for polly and vicky, we have someone who believes in celebrating life and love and the moment while you have it, who is very aware of the ups and downs of life and has dealt with her own, who is smarter than what people take her for but cares less about correcting this as much as she cares about using it to pull the wool over their eyes, but who is sometimes careless and prone to getting carried away, sometimes forgetting to look back and make sure others can keep up with her or that they haven't become collateral damage. and you have vicky, who is smart and spunky and intense, surely, with a perfectionist streak.

i think, on my first impulse, that polly might have an issue, since i imagine vicky would easily pick up on how smart polly is, and while polly doesn't mind the cognitive engagement and fun that comes with knowing how to pick apart something complex, i also don't see herself as particularly wanting to paint herself as a "smart person". vicky feels like she might tend to want to push polly towards that, as perfectionism tends to also end up projected onto others, especially others who have potential but aren't using it, and again, polly doesn't really want to use it like that. she's not ambitious, she's just doing what feels good, exploring and finding new avenues for pleasure and to sate her curiosity. polly wants engagement, less so fulfilling a prerequisite list of expectations.

vicky certainly gets into a lot and she throws herself in with her full heart, and polly does something similar, but polly's less committed to the outcome. she's not trying to succeed, necessarily, and i don't think she actually cares if she fails or loses so long as she enjoyed herself doing so. polly manages to succeed and to be damn good at things mostly out of rule of funny, but also because she is actually sincerely skilled, just skilled in an entirely different way than what vicky's used to.

what if. there was an animal
