#Hero plays Animal Crossing: New Horizons

[pickles4nickles]

So I’ve been watching playthroughs of Yakuza games for a while now, but when I saw that the newest game takes place in Hawai’i, the place where I was born, raised, and have lived in for nearly 30 years now, I knew that this was something I had to have first-hand experience with and not let some guy tell me how to feel about it, to put it bluntly.

I went on a month and a half long journey to finish this game, so I sat around for a bit like

Jesus Christ I should write a review on it.

So if you’d like to read about 5k words on what I thought about The Video Game™, here you go.

Overall, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a really really good game. However, as Hawai’i local it was kind of hard for me to turn my brain off to some of the cultural inaccuracies and as someone who tends to play smaller indie games, I clocked in about 110 hours on this and I burned out a little towards the end.

GAMEPLAY

Let’s get into Gameplay first because I think I have the most positive thoughts about it. If you haven’t heard my thoughts about Pokemon lately, it mostly boils down to “It’s the only RPG I’ve really been playing in recent years and the gameplay has been very watered down and I yearn for a decent PvE experience.” This game definitely scratched that itch in more ways than one.

Infinite Wealth’s turn-based combat system revolves around positioning. Some moves have an AoE of either a straight line or a circle. Positioning a character next to an ally will proc a combo move with them and positioning them near items will proc an item attack where you can beat a guy to death with a traffic cone or something.

The job system is robust. Every character starts off with a default class- Ichiban’s is Hero, an all-rounder that can pretty much do anything; characters like Nanba and Eric (I know the game calls him Tomi or Tomizawa, but I’m not the game and “Fuckin’ Eric” sounds way better than “Fuckin’ Tomi”) are magic-oriented, so they’re basically wizards by default. You can change their class to other jobs (Desperado is my favorite because it’s basically gun mage), which unlocks new skills as you level them up. You can also change jobs as much as you want and skills carry over between them, so there’s a bit of moveset mixing and matching that makes my brain feel good.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, (the Yakuza devs, which we’re just gonna abbreviate to RGG from here on out) have always been REALLY good at asset reuse (again, I cast a dirty look to Game Freak). They’ll make a whole-ass map of a region and reuse that same map for several games down the line. Not only do you spend a significant time in Ijincho again and not only do you go to Kamurocho for little bit… AGAIN, but there are two… what I can only call “macro” games that have the best asset reuse I’ve seen in, like, maybe anything ever.

DONDOKO ISLAND

Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth comes with a whole-ass Animal Crossing clone that’s also kind of The Sims called Dondoko Island. In this, you rehab an island that’s being used as a dump for some trash pirates (no, seriously, they’re actually pirates, yar har and everything) back into a five star resort. There’s a whole-ass crafting system where you go around the island, harvesting resources, to build furniture and facilities, which include whole-ass buildings which have appeared in past Yakuza games. The crafting system is GREATLY improved over Animal Crossing: New Horizon in that you can skip the goddamn animation and craft multiple of the same items at once. You don’t even have to have all the materials in your inventory, it’ll take it from your storage. Placing items in the world is also in an overhead view and the only grievance I have with the system is that placing paths is really weird and you can only place a limited number of them. But overall, Nintendo, was it really that hard to put into the video game. Why did you make AC:NH disrespect my time in that way?

Once the island has been cleaned up enough, you can start inviting guests over, which all have their own set of preferences for the vibe of your island (rustic, pop, sleazy, etc), their lodging quality, and how much of the island’s flora and fauna (and minerals, I guess??) you’ve discovered.

I really really liked Dondoko Island because who am I to say no to a management mini/macro game with decoration elements. I mostly really appreciate that it doesn’t waste your time. I wanna say I finished it in like less than 20 hours… which is not short for a game within a game (actually, that’s insane for a game within a game), but for a game of this genre, it’s pretty short.

There’s also an entire separate mini-island that further helps you with efficiently running your island by passively collecting resources over time and just being a general stockpile of bugs and fish to catch. But I can’t talk about this part without talking about…

SUJIMON

A returning character voiced by Keith Silverstein in the English dub – yes, that Keith Silverstein, who voices Masayoshi Shido of Persona 5 and Zhongli of The Genshin Impact™ is a professor who documents the behavior of weird and often hostile middle aged men, called Sujimon. When Ichiban goes to Hawai’i, he asks him to also document the native Sujimon there as there’s a prominent Sujimon scene there. Mans wasn’t kidding as there is an underground, more or less ilicit Sujimon fight club called The Sujimon League with its own Elite Four called The Discrete Four.

In the previous game, Sujimon was just your bestiary (literally called the Sujidex), but now it’s a whole-ass game, which I can mostly only describe as simplified Yokai Watch, but a glorified card game. Just so we’re not here for forever talking about middle-aged men cockfights… because I can talk about the mechanics and inner workings of middle-aged men cockfights for a hot minute, Sujimon League basically operates on a 3v3, with an additional bench of 3, rock-paper-scissors kind of system. You’ll need strong Sujimon to get through this macro game and you’ll recruit new guys through four ways- through random fights on the map, through literal Pokemon GO raids, through a gacha system, and through combining Sujimon of the same type into stronger Sujimon (don’t think too hard about that one). I had a LOT of fun with this and, again, it scratched an itch I’ve had for a while. Almost all of the Sujimon are just guys you’ll fight in-game, so, again, an excellent use of asset reuse.

Sujimon smoothly integrates into Dondoko Island in a way that makes Palworld look even more balls-less than it already is. You know that little island I was talking about a few paragraphs back? That’s Dondoko Farm. You can put your Sujimon to work on it! As you’re running around on Dondoko Island, letting it consume your life, your Sujimon will grow crops, scrounge around for resources, and earn some cash for you. The island also has some resources to help with Sujimon League by leveling them up with a small investment of some dondoko bucks and your time, but also a Pokemon-Amie type mini-mini game that helps strengthen the friendship of your current Sujimon team.

Yes.

This game lets you pet-

The sweaty, weirdo middle-aged men.

Don’t think about it too hard.

Especially don’t think about it too hard when you have a Sujimon on your team that uses Xander Mobus’ voice clips.

Anyway, there’s also another minigame called Sicko Snap, which is basically Pokemon Snap with Sujimon. It’s a good one, too.

STORY

I guess… the best way I’d explain my feelings on Infinite Wealth’s story is

Objectively, this is an okay story. Like, it’s par for the course for a Yakuza game. I have a lot of personal grievances with this plot which I’ll fully unsheathe my blade for in the next section, but for now I’ll just say… this game is basically Hawaii Five-O crammed into a Yakuza game and that was an emotional rollercoaster ride that I’m not sure I enjoyed.

Like a Dragon’s main theme is “Even if you hit rock bottom, it’s never too late to get back up again” and that’s something I hold near and dear to my heart.

They have used this theme to my benefit and to my dismay as this also apparently means it’s never too late for ~*Romance*~ which, sure, yeah, okay, true, but did it have to be Ichiban and Saeko?

I’m trying to give the game the benefit of the doubt because… to me, it’s mostly one-sided (as in, like, Saeko’s willing to give him a chance, but isn’t as crazy for Ichiban as he is for her) and, like, dude is allowed to have a crush. But from what I have seen… because I never got around to finishing her Drink Link (I was gonna but I’m like really burned out on the game), they kinda strap C4 to the Bechdel Test and raze a village to the ground with it when it comes to Saeko’s character arc because most of her dialogue and interactions are about The Incident with Ichiban, which sucks because she had more character than just a romance interest for the protagonist in the previous game. If you’re also REALLY not into this plot point like I am, the story DOES NOT let you forget that this indeed happened as it seems to be a plot thread that might continue into the next game as well.

Needless to say, I don’t ship it, and I don’t get to block tags and just walk away from this one.

The game also kinda keeps nudging at, “Hehe, Chitose’s pretty cute too, right?” to which I say

Yes I understand she’s of legal age but she’s only like 21 AT MOST and Ichiban’s like 40-something you stop with that.

It doesn’t feel like Ichiban really had a character arc in this… unless you count “proposing on the first date” to “saying I love you on a redo and then being weird about it again” as character growth. He went to Hawai’i, had some shenanigans, found mom, got backstabbed again, fought the cult (which I’ll be really salty about in the next section), went back home to help Eiji’s character arc. This isn’t a bad thing, it’s just… Ichiban went on another adventure. And it was ok. I think maybe the game was sizing him up to, again, take Kiryu’s place and be The Hero, but… we already did that already? And I’m not even sure if the game was able to complete that message by the end of the game.

Kiryu probably got the most character development out of this game and talking this over with my friend Andrew, he brought up that it kinda wasn’t fair that this is supposed to be Ichiban’s game, but he had to share half of it with Kiryu. And I agree. His sections were also really hard to get into if you haven’t been a longtime fan. Again, I have a decent amount of Yakuza knowledge, but with Kiryu’s memories, a LOT of it went over my head.  It seems like RGG’s been trying to retire him as a protagonist for like three games now and MAYBE this time they’ll actually do it after this victory lap they’ve given him. But he did learn that “my friends are my power” and “never ever give up, you still have time to do better.” And you know what, that’s rad.

As far as the villains go, just, I dunno, they’re fine? Ebina and Eiji are very “okay bitch, stay mad, then,” and it’s. Fine? My only complaint is that Ebina’s arc felt like it was under-seasoned before they put it in the oven to cook and they could’ve peppered it on a little earlier in the game or something. Bryce’s entire deal I may have taken a little too personally, but that’s for later. Dwight was literally just Danny Trejo doing a villain role and I have absolutely no qualms with it. He was fun to watch.

The supporting cast was fun as always. Eric I hated at first, but he grew on me in the same way that, like, I’d bully a friend. Chitose I also kinda hated at first, was very sus of, but then she had a character arc that was pretty good. The Yokohama gang didn’t really have character arcs to them, but they were still fun to hang out with nonetheless. We got to learn a little bit more about Seonhee and she’s really fun. Both her and Zhao, who is my favorite for several reasons, are really really fun characters as they are both crime bosses (former, in Zhao’s case) who are BIG FUCKING WEIRDOS and I love them for it.

Joongi Han becomes a party member WAY too late in my opinion that, in a way, he’s technically an optional party member, or at least like getting a Dratini right before the Pokemon League in Gold/Silver/Crystal. He had some fun character moments, but felt kinda like an afterthought.

But also, ain’t no way he got his Hawai’i clothes at Hilo Hattie. There’s no way.

To wrap up my thoughts on the main story, I’d just like to say: the plot point that they sailed to Japan on a little tugboat in a handful of hours as opposed to WEEKS is peak Hawaii Five-O vibes and it infuriates me, but everyone kept telling me “it’s okay, the coast guard picked them up, like, halfway” and I will sit down and not start a fistfight over it. And just. That was the vibe of the game for me. Just… alternating between a J-Drama and Hawaii Five-O.

I don’t really have much to say about the substories except that they’re either almost Oscar-worthy material or they’re a snoozefest that I just tabbed through. I can really only think of three substories off the top of my head that were EXCELLENT, though - Nancy and Olivia, the artificial snow quest (THIS ONE IS EMOTIONAL WHIPLASH), and the traveling aquarium one. The rest I mostly just tabbed through because they were just……. Eh. But I think I’m okay with that since we have Sujimon and Dondoko to make up for it.

THE CULTURAL GRIEVANCES

So as I type this section out, I run my hands over my face to remind myself and say

This is a game that takes place in Hawai’i from a Japanese perspective, written primarily for a Japanese audience and I assume that certain things may come from a place of ignorance, but not maliciousness.

Hey Tumblr.

I want you to read that first bolded sentence again.

Because I know how you guys are with reading comprehension.

But that being said, as a Hawai’i-born Chinese person, there’s quite a lot about the Hawai’i cultural aspects of this game that I have problems with. If you wanna see me roast this game, you can stick around, but if not… Here is your chance to bail.

I’ve tried my best to write this in a way where I look at the thing that pissed me off and ask myself,  “Am I taking this too seriously or do I actually have a problem with it?” and write more or less objectively, but some of it might still come off as overly caustic. Just. I tried.

And after a deep breath,

Ho brah,

We go.

WHAT IS HAWAIIAN CULTURE, ANYWAY?

To start off, I’m not sure if RGG knows the difference between being a Hawai’i local and actually being of Hawaiian blood…? The game mentions at the very beginning that Akane is half-Japanese… and half-Hawaiian, which makes Ichiban one-fourth Hawaiian, which makes ME kinda… squint. Like, we’d need to know more about Akane’s backstory, but if you know anything about indigenous cultures, finding someone who’s half native is HARD nowadays. Akane also looks pretty light skinned for someone who’s allegedly half-Japanese, half-Hawaiian but that’s just my tiny nitpick?

I’m also… not sure what kinda research RGG did on Hawaiian last names because some of the ones I see on random enemies are kinda… 

Who is that

What is that

I have never seen anyone named that in my entire life

Sure, my worldview is a little shut in, but, no, what IS that?

Mililani is not a last name, that’s a neighborhood, why’s she Lani Mililani?

WHAT IS THAT?

The pidgin in the game is also there, but… small kine hit or miss. For those of you who don’t know, pidgin is Hawai’i’s creole, which came from a bunch of cultures who don’t speak the same language eventually falling into a kitbashed language system that works for everyone. Looking at the VA listing in the credits, they did hire some local people (they have Hawaiian names) and some of the VO performances work really well like Obispo in the restaurant side story and the cab driver dialogue that ONLY comes up in the Japanese audio version of the game for some reason. Others… are… hm (I don’t know what’s going on with Jeff the taco truck guy). I feel like the voice director got the intonation on the line reads down pretty well, but on the localization side, the syntax and grammar are a little off. Pidgin tends to come off as “broken english,” but it’s technically not since it’s its own language system with its own rules. So you have a lot of line reads that are in the right inflection, but the way it’s written is wrong for pidgin dialogue.

And it just doesn’t sound 100% right to me.

There’s also some… small pronunciation nitpicks that I have. Ukulele is pronounced the white way - it’s not Yooka-Laylee like the Chameleon and Bat, it’s ook-oo-leh-leh like Tapu Lele, the Pokemon. Some characters pronounce Hawai’i as huh-why and not ha-wuh-ee, which is more right (it’s SUPPOSED to be ha-vai-ee but I’m not native Hawaiian and this is kind of an axolotl situation so, y’know).

But shout-outs to the “Whatchu lookin’ at?” line guy.

Because that one is just, no notes, perfect.

NOTHING CAN BE NORMAL, I GUESS

Something that rubbed me the wrong way in this game is the mystification of a culture that’s foreign to you, that is, taking a culture that’s not yours and describing or representing it in such a way that it sounds so deviant and hard to comprehend compared to the one you’re used to. Think of that one tweet where someone describes hamburgers like a white person would describe asian fruit.

There's the lei substory where the girl needs to make a lei with blue plumerias (which does not exist by the way) because there’s an urban legend that if you give a blue plumeria lei to someone, it’s a way of confessing your true love. Lei are just… things you give as, like, a “congrats!” kind of a thing. Or if you wanna be touristy about it, a “welcome!” kind of gift. There’s nothing mystical about it, most grocery stores stock a few that you can just pick up, grab and go style. 

The entire game mechanic of “shaka to make friends” was so?? Like maybe after 8 hours into the Hawai’i map, I was like, okay, I’ll just… fine. I’ll accept it. But my god did I not appreciate it when Kson came up to me and was like “what’s a motherfucker gotta do around here to make some friends” and told me how FRIENDLY the Hawaiian people were and how you can just throw a shaka to make friends; while me, probably the saltiest, introverted Hawai’i local that throws stink-eye at tourists who can’t watch where they’re going, playing the video game on that day was like, “We don’t fucking do that, hello??” I don’t even know why we shaka?? Most people you ask that question will just be like “idk it’s the local thing, they do it at the end of the 5pm news on KHON2.”

There’s a substory in this game with a character named Nathan, but we were all calling him racist Alpharad because he kinda looks like him (ALPHARAD HIMSELF IS NOT RACIST OR IN THIS GAME I WANNA CLARIFY THAT) and he’s basically, like… a weeb. He’s recording what seems like a PBS special on Japanese tourists in Hawai’i, but he’s kind of a shitter about it. He makes Ichiban choose between local foods and cold-ass rice and becomes upset when he chooses kalua pork over the rice since it wasn’t The Japanese Option. It escalates to making Ichiban play darts with shuriken and when he loses, he tells him to “live up to his dishonor,” slides him a knife and board, and asks him if he wants to take a finger or hara-kiri. To which Ichiban goes “dude, I get you like Japanese culture, but you can’t treat people this way”

To which I look back at the game like

You clearly understand how this feels, so why are you doing this to Hawaiian culture?

Again, I understand that a lot of this game was written with maybe just ignorance, and not malice, and this isn’t really a call-out post to RGG or anything, but BOY…

Okay.

Now we get to my biggest gripe with this game.

PALEKANA CAN SUCK MY NUTS

I’m kinda disappointed in their choice to use a Hawaiian cult as a plot point. It’s not quite a native savages kind of a vibe, but… In the year of our lord 2024, I thought we would know better than to portray an indigenous religion as a bloodthirsty cult? I also don’t like how they’re conflating the Hawaiian religion with what’s more like a Christian/Catholic cult in this.

Palekana is portrayed as “cultists who worship a goddess who lives in a mystical land, forbidden only to her chosen and maybe one day we’ll be worthy of her blessings.” Hawaiian religion is… not… like that at all? They did get the part about “giving back to the community” correct as a part of Hawaiian culture is mālama ‘aina, meaning, you need to care for the land you live on, which is… reasonable? I guess the other basic idea of Hawaiian religion is that certain places, things, and times that are important, and you shouldn’t touch it unless you wanna fuck around and find out. But the game just kinda wildly overboils this.

Like, I don’t claim to be an expert, I’ve only scraped the basics from what I learned in school (a year’s worth of Hawaiiana lessons in middle school, a semester’s worth in college; went to a private Catholic school, took two world religion classes in college), but Palekana has a very Catholic European religion kind vibe instead of a Hawaiian one. And I really, really don’t like that the game conflates the two. The Palekana cultists wear hoods, which is a distinctly European thing (it’s too hot for hoods here!). The beaded necklaces also seem more like rosaries, which, again, very Catholic. The idea that a god-figure will save you is also a VERY Catholic idea. I’m also assuming the goddess Nele that they use in the game is an expy for Pele, which… okay, like, you can do that with locations. Ala Moana Shopping Center represented as Anaconda Mall in the game hurts me a lot, but… to change up the name of the most prominent deity in Hawaiian religion is like

Dude, I’m not Hawaiian, but I know better than to shit on Pele?

Maybe I’m taking this a little too seriously, but it comes off as a little(??) disrespectful.

To give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe RGG wrote this plot point in this way to be like, well, they’re the villains, so we’ll write them so hyperbolically evil and wrong so people won’t mistake that for the actual culture? But my gut reaction is that they’re only writing from what they’ve seen in the movies and they wanted to make a story like that.

This was my least favorite part of the plot because not only does the cult aspect feel like it’s in bad taste, but it’s SO MUCH of the story and you REALLY can’t get away from it.

Alright. So now that I’ve aired that out of my system, I’m finally capping off this section with the part of the game that hit the closest to me and that is

CHINESE IN HAWAI’I

Listen. Again.

This is a story about Hawai’i, written by a Japanese team, for a Japanese audience.

Yakuza is a series that often talks about the racial conflict between the Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans. And I don’t expect them to portray any of these groups in anything more than a neutral light in this game about Gang Crime.

But ohhhhh my gooooood did they get the Chinatown section so wroooooooong.

Right off the bat, the big glaring problem I have with this game is. All the guys speak Mandarin. I think they might just be reusing voice clips from Yakuza 7, which, sure, fine, I understand that video games are hard to make and expensive.

In Hawai’i, like, real-world Hawai’i, not the bizzaro Hawai’i this game takes place in, we’re definitely starting to see more Mandarin-speaking immigrants show up, but most of the town speaks Cantonese.

Most of the people here a generation or two above me come from Guangdong or Hong Kong, which are Cantonese-speaking areas. It’s an entirely different dialect that’s really only been represented in small bits in media I’m familiar with, like in Jackie Chan Adventures (the uncle’s chant is basically “no more ghosts, get out of here” in Cantonese) and Digimon Tamers (“Moumentai” is “it’s okay/don’t worry about it” in Cantonese), and it seems really hard to get VAs that speak it, so I’m not… really that mad about it.

BUT. Then there’s Wong Tou.

Wong is the Cantonese pronunciation of 黄 , Huang or Hwang in Mandarin.

So like… clearly they knew?? But?? Decided not to go all in on it??

(And then Daniel Dae Kim is his face model and I just??? Bro’s Korean, hello?????)

And then there’s the name of Wong Tou’s gang. The Ganzhe.

Which is a stupid name.

The Chinese dictionary gives me 甘蔗 which translates to sugarcane, which. I get it. The plantation times. The Chinese and the Japanese and the Filipinos and the Portuguese and whatever all used to work on the cane plantations.

…But you’re out here calling your BIG KNIFE GANG “Sugarcane??”

My guy, you could start a reggae band with that name instead.

SPEAKING OF REGGAE-

No one knows how to pronounce Ganzhe properly besides Eric’s VA apparently? All the other VAs pronounce the gan closer to “van” when it’s supposed to be more like a “gone.”

Yes. That’s right.

Ganzhe is pronounced more like ganja.

You know.

The Marajuanas™

I’m a Hawai’i-born Chinese, first-generation local on my mom’s side and third-gen local on my dad’s. I grew up in Chinatown, so this was a section of the game that was near and dear to my heart. So I THINK and HOPE you’d understand my frustration to see that work needed to be done on the representation of my culture in this game. It was definitely a little fun to see my hometown modeled in this game- they got Maunakea Marketplace and Keikaulike Mall down pretty accurately and some of the motifs on the buildings made me do a double take because they were so familiar to me. BUT, man, this cultural aspect of the game needed A LOT of work.

SO TO FINALLY CLOSE THIS OUT

Japanese people love Hawai'i a lot.

I think Japanese people love Hawai'i more than Hawai'i locals do.

But as for portraying it accurately, I understand that no one can do it as well as a local islander can. Did I personally think they did the best they could?

………………ehh

Like, if you turn your brain off, it's fine??

If you turn your brain off and not let Palekana get to you, this game is fine.

It can be a little campy.

It can be a little Hollywood.

It can be a little Disneyland.

And despite my four pages of bitching about it, at the end of the day. It is fine.

So with that, I’ve hit like ten full pages on this Google Doc. Despite half of this review being me complaining about what they got wrong about Hawai’i culture in this game, I liked it a lot! When the game didn't have me strapped down for an episode of a J-drama or Hawaii Five-O, I liked running around town, fighting guys, making other guys fight other guys, and managing a resort island. If anything, this game actually motivated me a little to make more local-themed stuff, because as I notice people getting older, there’s less and less people to correctly preserve highly specific culture stuff like this. So a lot of that responsibility falls on me, y’know?

Thank you for making it to the end of this review! I know it was a lot. I don’t know what happened. I do recommend this game, but I ask that you do NOT finish the game with the takeaway that you have learned everything there is to know about Hawai’i.

I’ll fight you with a lawn chair (in Minecraft, for the FBI agent reading this) if you do that.

Other than that, I think you’ll have a lot of fun but also take your time because this game is, like, a 100 hour commitment. Not Persona 5 Royal long, but a commitment nonetheless.

#like a dragon #like a dragon infinite wealth #pickle art #sure uhh I guess I will put this in the tag #IF YOU FOUND THIS VIA THE TAG AND YOU REALLY LIKE THIS GAME #HI HELLO I DO TOO I JUST HAVE SOME STRONG OPINIONS ABOUT THE CULTURAL ACCURACY OF MY HOMETOWN #PLEASE DON'T YELL AT ME YOU CAN STILL ENJOY IT #anyway I've had this sitting around for like... most if not all of march #and I finally got the spoons to put the finishing touches on it #and come to terms that I'm probably not opening the game back up anytime soon

Clones with videogames

Okay so I need to make a big old thread of clone posts so I'm gonna link them to each other each time I make them. Here's the videogame one.

Fox has an illegally modded version of 'Doom' where all the enemies look like Palpatine. He absolutely does, I won't take criticism. When he isn't using the console then Thorn will log on to try and beat Fox's high score but when Fox has time off he kills a lot in that game.

Fives loves the 'Legend of Zelda' franchise but the problem solving parts do his head in. He begs Echo to do those parts for him. Echo acts like it's annoying but he actually really enjoys it.

Crosshair, despite his skill at shooting, doesn't play shooters. He's actually incredibly skilled at games like 'Guitar Hero', due to how quickly he can move his hands.

Jesse and Kix worked really hard to try and make some of their favourite places in 'Minecraft'. They were really upset when Hardcase flooded the locations with tons of different animals.

Tech has been progressively playing through 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons' with Wrecker and Omega. He is very meticulous about how his island is set out and always tell Wrecker and Omega off when they visit his island and fish his fish and catch his bugs. When Tech visits their shared island, he is gifted many items he has been collecting since the beginning of his 300+ hour game time. He still takes them anyway and sells his originals, always making sure to display his gifts for when his siblings visit his island.

Hunter plays 'Stardew Valley'. He prefers it over 'Animal Crossing'.

Rex and Cody have 'Mario Kart' tournaments. Cody is better at all the tactical side of it but Rex has memorised the shortcuts.

Hound has a copy of 'Nintendogs' but rarely plays it when there are perfectly good Massifs in real life. Besides, Grizzer would get jealous if he spent time with fake dogs.

Any other headcanons are welcome! These are just some that me and @just-here-with-my-thoughts came up with.

Headcanons I Have For Some of 1-A

Not all of these are my own and some are very popular/common, but I thought of a lot of them myself too!

Izuku Midoriya

His mum taught him to crochet

His favourite fruit is apples

Before he got One For All he’d try to be a hero by doing cliche good guy things, like helping old people cross the road and getting cats out of trees

Mumbles hero facts in his sleep

Tells his mum about Ochaco all the time

As a child, because he knows his dad’s quirk was breathing fire, he once asked his mother of Endeavour was his dad

Autism and ADHD, heroes are his special interest

Shoto Todoroki

He’s autistic, this is barely a headcanon at this point it may as well be canon

Uses he/him, but doesn’t really care if people use other pronouns

He stimmed a lot as a child but was constantly told off for it until he stopped, now he can barely recognise his own emotions because his stims were different depending on how he felt

He only takes cold showers

When he started talking to them, he would ask Natsuo and Fuyumi to tell him stories about Touya

Katsuki Bakugo

He’s gay

Hard of hearing from his explosions, Class 1-A are trying to learn sign, Present Mic is helping because he’s also hoh from his own quirk

stole some of Izuku’s All Might merch when they were children because he was too embarrassed to ask for any

his favourite colour is pink

he’s genuinely scared of his mother

him and Ochaco have been close friends ever since the Sports Festival, but he won’t admit it

Has really bad ADHD posture

makes tiny explosions as visual stims

One of his ways to distress is by cleaning, but because of his ADHD he struggles to actually clean, so he continues to be stressed

Ochaco Uraraka

Before they moved into dorms, she used to save food from the cafeteria to take home to her parents

Can carry Izuku, Iida and Katsuki. Katsuki swears she’s using her quirk, but she isn’t

She has ADHD, and finds it really hard to think before she speaks, also tending to interrupt people a lot

Her attention span is non-existent, and in middle school she was always scared of telling her teachers she couldn’t focus or hadn’t been listening, but she finds it a lot easier to do that in UA

She plays Animal Crossing New Horizons on Izuku’s Nintendo Switch

Tenya Iida

Autistic as well

Talks really fast most of the time

Dresses up as his brother for Halloween almost every year

He made a group chat for class 1-A for important things but everyone just uses it to send memes that he doesn’t understand

Momo Yaoyorozu

Having her hair up helps her focus like Violet from a Series of Unfortunate Events

She’s autistic as well, and really struggles with social cues, especially flirting

make-up gives her sensory issues

Midnight was the only teacher Momo confided in about her low self esteem. The fact that Midnight believed in her helped her stay motivated when she didn’t believe in herself

She gives the best presents because she can buy expensive things and if she can’t find anything she thinks people will like she just makes them stuff

Tsuyu Asui

Uses she/they pronouns

Has synetshesia, and will randomly tell her classmates that their voice tastes like x, or their name is y colour. For example, Ochaco’s voice tastes like marshmallows and Katsuki’s name is yellow

Also autistic! She does t-rex arms all the time canonically

She likes styling the other 1-A girls hairs

Eijiro Kirishima

Wears eyeliner

made the Bakusquad group chat

He looks up to Mina and Fatgum even more than he looks up to Crimson Riot

He’s banned from the dorm room kitchen by Katsuki

ADHD! Executive Dysfunction has it out for this man and the rest of the class basically keep him alive

Kyouka Jiro

sensory overloads constantly

Bisexual

listens to music to help her sleep

she video calls her parents almost every day in the dorms

Exclusively drinks fizzy drinks

Takes a lot of photos of random things that her classmates do, and makes it into a photo album

Denki Kaminari

Trans masc

Pulls finger guns whenever he compliments anyone

Has a really wide range of music tastes

Tries his very best to keep Mineta in check

He loves just dance

Fumikage Tokoyami

Uses they/them pronouns

Their room is usually a mess. Clothes everywhere.

writes and reads poetry, their favourite is The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe

Chirps as a stim

Knows morse code. Nobody knows why

Yuga Aoyama

Genderfluid

Attracted to men

Does yoga

Cheese is his comfort food

He’s autistic too. Nobody in this class is nuerotypical, not even their homeroom teacher

Knows how to braid hair

Howdy!

(I am Taiga Aisaka irl lol)

I finally decided to make an intro on this account because it’s inconsistent as hell even though it’s my main one.

But yeah hello!

I’m Mallory (people call me Mal a lot) I’m a goofy ahh autistic 21 year old

She/Her are my preferred pronouns, but I’m okay with They/Them as well if it’s easier for you to use.

I’m biromantic/asexual

I’m not in college but I’ve been working for nearly a year now! It takes up half of my time but I’m still free decently often.

I like to draw, write, make OCs and self inserts, play video games, sing and listen to music. I sometimes post my art and characters occasionally but not often on here. (I should tho)

This is my main tumblr where I used to post strictly Finding Nemo related posts but my fixation had faded out since 2021 (I still love the movie and it’s sequel but it hasn’t been my main interest anymore)

Here are my other tumblrs if they’re interesting enough to take a look at.

Second tumblr: @rxin3srandomthoughts

Meme tumblr: @rxin3smemes

Aesthetic tumblr (kinda defunct now): @rxin3saesthetics

Stim tumblr (the one I use most often besides my main): @rxin3stims

I have a large DNI list on my stim tumblr, but I’ll put a general one here too. It’s also in my bio:

DNI if:

A nsfw/k!nk blog

Racist

Homophobic

Transphobic

Ablelist

And a personal one, if you romanticize serial k!ll3rs or sh00t3rs. Big on the latter because of personal trauma and because that monster has been romanticized here before and on other platforms on the internet and I find it not only disturbing and horrifying but also disrespectful to the victims, their families, and the survivors.

If you fit under any of this criteria, you will immediately be blocked.

A lot of my content is OC related, so here is a list of ‘em!!

Self Inserts (1)

Self Inserts (2)

Self Inserts (3)

Self Insertmas 2023: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 8, Day 9, Day 10, Day 11, Day 12, Day 13, Day 14, Day 15, Day 16, Day 17, Day 18, Day 19, Day 20, Day 21, Day 22, Day 23

Self Insert Birthday Countdown 2024: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 8, Day 9, Day 10, Day 11, Day 12, Day 13, Day 14, Day 15, Day 16, Day 17, Day 18, Day 19, Day 20, Day 21, Day 22, Day 23, Day 24

[korrinhorizon]

Each of the Theatre crew’s favorite video game + My sing 2 oc

Buster: Mario party (idk why it just seems his type of game) or board games, any games that require multiple people I guess

Ms Crawly: doesn’t play video games, but does play board games or party games, she’s actually pretty good

Rosita: she definitely plays Cooking Mama, or any games her children play, she has a family game night with her kids, and plays with them in their T.V or just plays party games

Gunter: probably plays Just Dance, or plays wii sports, he would definitely encourage others to join in aswell lol

Clay: ooo he probably plays chess or checkers, or even some card games, and for video games, he would play Guitar hero (because Ash introduced him and showed him the game) he would try to play his songs in the game, and complain “that the game is way harder than playing guitar” or “this is not how you play the song” lol

Now for the young ones

Ash: Guitar hero which is the most obvious, she had been playing it since she was 12, another game she played was Animal Crossing, she just loved how calm and comfy it was (she immediately got New Horizons when it came out and no one had seen her for days until the crew found her at her house farming for miles and bells) and finally she would’ve played Monster Prom in her teenage years, why? She was finding something to play, found it on steam, downloaded it and never looked back. That was probably how she got obsessed on shipping Ryan, Johnny and Zotz. (She was probably a Brian/Damien shipper, and a Scott/Oz shipper cuz why not)

Porsha: liked playing Animal crossing but that’s probably all, she mostly spends time in social media than playing video games but she does join in when the others play it

Meena: Meena would love playing any calm, relaxing and comfy game like Animal crossing, cooking mama, or those organizing games, or just comfy games in general

Nooshy: definitely plays Just Dance, or Mario Cart (she forces others to play it with her, but she usually wins) probably has played Splatoon, and loved the music, Also has played Undertale, had an Undertale phase, and even dressed up as sans for a bit by wearing a blue hoodie, she loved the soundtrack and has it in her playlist

Ryan: Just Dance (I guess every dancer is gonna have just dance) he would force Johnny and Zotz to dance with him as Zotz would do decent while Johnny would fail, due to Johnny only knowing how to breakdancing and simple moves. Ryan would also love playing Pokémon, since it was his childhood game, his first game was Pokémon X, and after that he loved the games and series, (his favorite Pokémon is Blaziken)

Johnny: He definitely has played Pokémon as well but not as long as Ryan. (His favorite Pokémon was Pangoro since it reminded him of his Dad and uncles) He would’ve also played Super Smash Bros Ultimate (he mains Wolf and Lucario) and finally, he would’ve played rhythm games like Beat Saber, or Project Sekai.

Zotz: Zotz would’ve played fantasy type games like, fire emblem, his favorite was Fire Emblem Fates Birthright, or Final Fantasy 7, He also liked playing Monster Hunter games like Monster Hunter 4 ultimate (hehe my first monster hunter game) But in all his favorite video game franchise would have to be. . . . . . . Drumroll plsssss, Kingdom Hearts :D, his favorite game would be Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days and his favorite character would be either Xion or Roxas. He would try to explain the plot of Kingdom Hearts to Ryan and Johnny, in which Ryan sorta got it but got confused at some parts, while Johnny couldn’t understand any of it and that whole time was confused

(I’m so tired imma go to bed now:D)

tagged to answer these questions by @treedryad 💌 thank you!!

favorite time of the year: i really like spring and autumn... the first because of the hope it brings me-- i start feeling alive again, and my birthday is by the corner; there are flowers blooming and the days are getting longer. the second because it's still a heartwarming, colorful season before the Sadness gets the best of me, and i get to eat lots of soup!

comfort foods: ramen, soup in general, ravioli, tortellini and other similar stuffed pasta.

do you collect anything? i collect business cards, frog items, and old postcards.

favourite drinks: coffee, hot chocolate, and milk.

current song on repeat: no song, head empty ☹️

favorite fic: north by aelescribe! it's a canon-divergent heroes of olympus fic in which jason and nico fall into tartarus instead of percy and annabeth at the end of the mark of athena. i've launched a substack to reread it with other people in a dracula daily-like format; first email arrives on december 1st (very soon!) if you are interested :-)

favorite video game: i don't play video games myself but i really enjoy sitting on the couch next to my best friend while she plays animal crossing: new horizons, or any zelda game on her switch (or another console) connected to the tv at her place. she once showed me all the different zelda games she has and i've become quite fond of ocarina of time.

[silverskye]

Hello everyone! This will be a new introduction to the blog and myself. I’ve always wanted to do a new intro and hopefully meet some cool people. My name is Jess and I am in my mid-twenties. I’m not new to tumblr and have been on this site for years, this blog is somewhat new. 

 A little about my interests I enjoy anime, (k)dramas, k-pop, video games, self-care, journaling, and of course writing. I consider myself to be shy & an introvert. I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone and talk to mutuals, it’s easier said than done. I’m always up for conversations about our aligned interests or just to say hello. 

I am looking for mutual blogs that have the same interest as me, as well as blogs that love to write and don’t mind being mutual with a multifandom blog.

K-Pop: I’ll start by staying I’m a multistan. I adore a lot of groups and try to keep up with every one of them, tho it can be trying and hard at times. Here are a few groups that I enjoy and try to keep up with - Kard, BlackPink, Monsta X, Shinee, BTS, Stray Kids, Seventeen, Victon, Twice, Red Velvet, The Rose, Xdinary Heroes & many more. I am more consistent when it comes to solos and bands.  

Anime:  I haven’t been an anime fan for long, maybe 3 years, but have found a lot of great shows that have made me really happy, or you know cry a few times. Oh!! sometimes I do anime reviews on my blog or randomly talk about episodes. Here are a few of my favorites: Fruits Basket, Free!, Cardfight Vanguard Overdress, Food Wars!, Boruto, Burning Kabaddi, Idolish7,  Aoashi, A3!, K, Jujutsu Kaisen, Moriarty the Patriot, Sasaki and Miyano, Yu-Gi-Oh!, The Case Study of Vanitas, Spy x Family & many more.

Gaming: Final Fantasy 15, Final Fantasy 7 & FF&R, FF Crisis Core, The Legend of Zelda (all games), God of War, Ghost of Tashima, The Last of us, Horizon Zero Dawn, Assassin’s Creed (1 - 4 & Unity), Genshin Impact, Obey me!, Resident Evil, Animal Crossing & many more.

Video games have always been apart of my life, even if I take a break from the gaming world I always return. I love retro games like Castelvania, Spyro, Crash bandicoot, Majora’s Mask, Ocarina of Time, Duck Hunt ect. I am a big nintendo fan and currently playing Triangle Strategy. 

Writing: Currently I am taking a break from writing, but do occasionally share random facts about my ocs, and sometimes I like to look for pic crews to create how I imagine how they look like. I like writing about relationships between people, mostly platonic, tho I don’t mind romance between characters, it can lead to a lot of chemistry and love that doesn’t have to lead to a romantic relationship. I am mostly interested in writing relationships between people, how close people are able to be beyond normal standards in our society. I believe people are able to be really close and have a sense of feeling like they’re soulmates, but without the romance, or intimate details that could with romance. (I don’t know if that makes any sense.) 

Thanks for reading. Feel free to like or comment. Have a great day!!

[alostlittleriverlotus]

i should really start ranting about my more "normal" special interests. Psychology, disorders, and the like are a big part of my special interests which is why I'm so intent on talking about it. Plus I have a lot of thoughts and finally found people that agree! They're so rare on other sites :( it's been hard to find others that really get it and aren't just repeating harmful misinformation.

Anyway, here's some "normal" special interests or basically fandoms and media I enjoy consuming! Long post ahead!

Okay normal special interests:

Obey Me

Stardew Valley

Animal Crossing (especially New Horizons)

The MySims games (or normal Sims series as well :p)

Pokemon!!! My team of six is Serperior (Seraph), Inteleon (Coral), Drednaw (Daisy), Reshiram (Reshy), Mimikyu (Miko), and Espeon (Eva) and occasionally Banette (Snuppy) if I put em on the team instead :3

Monster Hunter, specifically the stories series but I am interested in mainline as well

Stranger Things. I've only seen 5 episodes of season 4, got setback cause of a move, so no season 4 spoilers please :)

Cuphead, the game and the show though I haven't played the game yet. Also no spoilers for the DLC, I wish to experience it myself when I get the game.

My Hero Academia

Danganronpa though I've only seen the first two games so no spoilers please! I'm watching playthroughs with my friend and it's fun to be surprised :) haven't watched the animes yet either.

Tons of anime, it's easier if you just ask about the specifics.

Books/Reading. I prefer young adult and fantasy novels. I do read graphic novels as well. Recommendations are always welcome!

Legend of Zelda

Mario games, been playing sunshine since I got 3D All Stars and have access to it again! (I have no system that plays GameCube games :') I have so many childhood faves I miss since our wiis finally died)

Lucifer, the Netflix series. I haven't gotten into The Sandman yet and I'm not sure if I will.

Witchcraft, especially games and books surrounding it.

Fire Emblem, specifically Three Houses/Hopes. Also no spoilers for Three Hopes as I just got the game for my b-day and haven't played it yet :3

My Little Pony! I'm a G4 fan, but I love G5 so far! Wish Netflix would bring back later seasons so I could finish the series. I think I was on season 6 or 7 so no late season spoilers please!

Angels of Death! Been playing it, no spoilers again

Splatoon! I haven't played a game yet, but Splatoon 3 has me HYPED

Sky: Children of the Light

Deltarune (and I guess Undertale.) I'm still on chapter 1 so no spoilers. Also I am not a fan of Undertale mostly just cause it doesn't interest me, but I never mind hearing about the lore and stuff.

SallyFace. I'll be honest, I haven't played or seen much about it and it might not be for me. But I will gladly listen to rants about it! My best friend rants to me all the time about it since it's theirs. Maybe I'll get into it one day, who knows.

Among Us and Fall Guys. Put these two together cause I like playing them. I'm PunkRockie on Among Us and typically go for purple.

Octopath Traveller, omg I love this game!

Steins Gate, I've been playing the game since it was difficult for me to watch the anime cause of my ADHD.

Super Smash Bros, been playing since Melee!

Story of Seasons, specifically the Friends of Mineral Town game (the remake since it's Story of Seasons)

Final Fantasy. I'm just getting into it with Final Fantasy XII remake for the switch.

Kirby!!!

Terraria

Minecraft

Aspire: Ina's Tale

~★~

That's all I can think of right now! If I think of more, I'll edit and add em in :p but these are a lot of my interests and so if you like em too, I will interact with your posts. I can't promise any socializing, I am terrified of people :)

[theultimatenonbinarynerd]

Miitopia photo dump, I just finished Miitopia and I want to say that although I absolutely adore animal crossing new horizons, this definitely is the best game on the switch which is why it extremely bugs me they haven't brought Tomodachi Life 2 to switch. Although not to talented with the custom features I love the makeup and wigs. My only pet peeve as a Biracial person is that the hairstyles for the wigs and designs of the overall Miis are extremely excluding of us Black And Brown folk, I am olive Skinned and there's not one shade accurate to my exact skin tone, same for curly haired styles. I'm ignoring the gender part because then I get called extremely woke.

Other than that I absolutely adore this game and the limitless casting options, the graphics and just everything. Unlike the 3ds version I didn't get stuck Yay! It's a very therapeutic game that had a simple plot but got me hooked throughout, I also thought the lore was amazing and the backstory about The Dark Lord and Dark Curse are absolutely heartbreaking. The Dark Lord and Great Sage were definitely the most fascinating characters.

I felt so happy that the final battle went well despite all my characters having level 20 status even though I made sure everyone in my team did the snurp route. I also loved the sweet cut scenes.

Overall a 9/10 definitely recommend you play this if you struggle with severe intense actions games.

I'll reveal my post game teams another time but for now I want to give credit to my main teams as they were all fab. Also if you want my code please be aware that if characters are unlocked they are either a mii I downloaded or they are someone close to me irl and you can understand why I wouldn't want me or my friends and loved ones appearing in other people games or why I don't want to share their names so I will only refer to them as their job. With that out of the way here's my three main og teams.

Team 1

1: Phoenix Weber (Marvel Spiderman Next Gen Oc)

2: Cleric (Irl Best Friend)

3: Peter 3 (Andrew Garfield's Spiderman)

Team 2

1: Luna Wilson (Marvel Next Gen Oc)

2: Cat (Online Friend)

3: Male Popstar (Online Friend)

Team 3

1: Mirabel (Encanto)

2: Chef (Irl Friend)

3: Peter 1 (Tom Holland's Spiderman)

As for the horse well he's named after Grogu from the Mando Universe. He's also designed after him.

All amazing team members, to explain about Luna And Phoenix well they are ocs from a Marvel fic I'm working on. It started with coming up with a Nonbinary Spiderman but then sort of turned into a next gen au. I can't spoil which superhero Luna is related to but I can reveal Phoenix is not related to any well known marvel hero or villain. So its mainly marvel teams with Luke Skywalker as The Great Sage and Anakin As The Dark Curse Reborn.

Every game I played in 2022

I just thought it would be fun to write this out as a sort of recap. Oh, and the order is weird because I went through my favorites list on steam first, then just general "all".

Loco-over-Rocos: The Biggest Journeys... Yet - Chapter 1

-> Go here <-

~~~PROLOGUE~~~ Y'all remember playing video games in the past that were very popular and very underrated. Well you can! You may play various video game ports like Nintendo Switch, PS5 or XBox Series X or S. But that's not all! We'll be going waayy back since the late-2000s, the nostalgia, the kidcore, everything.

Check out this adorable video game featuring jumping, fun-loving, bouncing candies or gumballs called "LocoRoco" which is basically for girls or maybe kids like that. Bet ya know, after you play the game and the sequel, you watch a random magical girl anime called "Cocotama" or "Catch! Teenieping" then playing "Animal Crossing: New Horizons".

After you found out... There is something, you started to play "Undertale '' for the first time until you draw the LocoRocos as humans in Undertale style. Then you sleep, and you have a dream about the humans you drew. It's been a long time for that...

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

~~~Chapter 1 - Getting to Know Them... Greetings to Euphoria~~~ Wanna read the story? If so let's start! These not-so fellas were LocoRocos! They're almost like humanoids right away so yeah, you know about them! (they now also have animal companions/or "pets" and to the official descriptions here by @pencakesstuff)

what abt our lil heroes?? 💛Kulche: 3 yrs, 1′3″💛 the soon to be guardian of Perculoka!! very curious, often gets into trouble that way! keeps trying to make friends with everything even if it trys to kill him ;O; should be too young to go on missions, but his unique ability to understand all languages is very useful so they bring him along anyways~ -animal companion: syrian hamster -sea animal companion: dumbo octopus

💜Viole: 17 yrs, 5′8″💜 the guardian of Kelapton!! very ride or die and luvs to jump into the heat of battle!! not scared of the mojas at all, thinks of them like a joke~ takes things seriously when it matters tho! -weapon of choice: guns -animal companion: betta -sea animal companion: jellyfish

💗Priffy: 21 yrs, 4′8″💗 the guardian of Franzea!! very serious, apathetic and sarcastic~ despite being a negative nancy all the time she does care a lot for her friends!! spends a lot of her time caring for Kulche n whatnot, he is her top priority!! -weapon of choice: crossbow -animal companion: sparrow -sea animal companion: dolphin ❤Pekerone: 19 yrs, 5′6″❤ the guardian of Tropuca!! very smart but very cowardly~ usually just tries planning strategys! kinda crazy and erratic too, likes to drink moja blood O~O  -weapon of choice: machete -animal companion: european rabbit -sea animal companion: red crab

🖤Budzi: 20 yrs, 11′7″🖤 the guardian of Dolangomeri!! a moja rly, but has lived on Euphoria for his entire life~ despite not being a locoroco hes still been recruited by the world heart to protect the world!!! might seem kinda mean and aggressive but at heart hes rly a softie! has to be very careful when fighting bc, since hes not a locoroco, he cannot just be reborn when he dies, his death would be permanent ;O; -weapon of choice: battle axe -animal companion: border collie -sea animal companion: great white shark

💚Chavez: 21 yrs, 6′7″💚 the guardian of Shamplin!! very serious just like his twin sister but not so mean abt it~ luvs guarding the world and gives it his all!! kind of a scaredy-cat but usually pulls thru anyways~ -weapon of choice: spear -animal companion: tree frog/green frog -sea animal companion: sea green turtle

💙Tupley: 43 yrs, 4′2″💙 the guardian of Chapo-Wahr!! the oldest of the locorocos, very mature and wise~ still kinda goofy tho despite it :> knows a lot of stuff, taught the locorocos abt defending the world and how to care for it :D -weapon of choice: shield -animal companion: persian cat -sea animal companion: blue whale

Now there you have it, you knew them right now. And thanks for stoppin' bye! There will be more soon. "This is gonna be great!" said Kulche happily as his pet hamster peeks up.
