logging back into fr for the first time in ages but oh my god? is there no way to mass claim the achievements? I have so many from before that theyve logged and theres the popup they put abt recalculating it?? and also mobile is so much jankier than before???
Isn't it funny how we have separated every single version of Sun and Moon that we have made from each other.
Like, we'll see a dca fanart, recognize the artstyle and the artist and be like "ah this is the bubbly Sun with the mean Moon" and you scroll to the next artists post and oh, the hyperactive Sun, the shy Moon, the nice Sun that's an asshole on the inside, the tsundere Moon, the Sun that's mean to the reader at first but later warms up, the Moon with a lenguaje academic degree, etc etc.
Like, this community applies the 'alternative reality' concept and we respect each other's interpretations or reinterpretations from the games and AUs, and you just can't see that in other fandoms.
SPOILER WARNING FOR CHAPTER 15
aaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Yes this is rushed---- no it's not cuz Iwannarereadchapter15beforebed--whotoldyouthat??--
AGAIN--please read this amazing stupendous FANFIC I highly HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!! @spadillelicious IS SUPER SUPER TALENTED GO TAKE A LOOK AT HER STUFF!!!!
ALSO!! please do tell me if the videos I post are ever loud- my pc has silly settings at the moment I apologize---
drawing fluffy daycare attendant art is self indulgent actually
but guys also lemme ramble bc i was having visions last night
*clears throat* YALL KNOW THAT SONG CANDY HEARTS AND PAPER FLOWERS FROM THE SILLY RAG DOLLY MOVIE?
BEST SONG IN THE MOVIE, AND MY BRAIN DONE EXPLODED
AND I JUST COULD NOT RESIST
I personally hc/visualize sun and moon’s relationship as similar to raggedy Ann and Andy anyways. I like to think of them as siblings, but like the type that were once were really close, inseparable and cared for each other a whole bunch rather than them just being chaotic and just hate each other 24/7. bruh idk I’m rrly just a sucker for wholesome family dynamics lmaoakskskksks
((also I got extra with the shading and lighting, i was rrly only trying out different brushes and got over board))
harvey stardew valley is so funny to me because he dislikes cake and bread and ice cream because they're "unhealthy" but LOVES coffee and drinks it presumably every day. my dude. the caffeine. you will get a heart attack
idk how to edit or clip anything but I need a compilation to be made of how many variations of kipperlily copperkettle we get bc I'm losing myself everytime
So yes I have OF COURSE read @naffeclipse new fic Apex Polarity and yes, I AM OBSESSED!
So I decided to make a little comic of how I think their "first encounter" might have looked like from Eclipse's perspective.
I can't help but think about how alien and scary we most look to him (especially if there is a history of fasco hunting polar sirens in the past). With all that gear we look like emotionless beings, just observing and uncaring of this ice world.
But then when y/n shows up and probably exudes this joy and wonder for his world + shows respect for the creatures and the environment??? Mmh yeah, I can see Eclipse falling for y/n, especially considering how alone he might be...
So yes, that's what I have for today! If you want to read the fic I'll link it right here. I can't recommend it enough, but as always, read the tags so you know what you're getting into! And lastly I also want to @themeeplord beacuse Eclipse's design is basically their design in my style (god I love their design so much, their character/creature designs are the BEST) so all the credit goes to them! Polar!Y/N is my design thou! ;P
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go read the two latest chapters-
"it makes me sad that he's mean :(" "I'm scared that my au is not accurate anymore" or "I got my interpretation of him wrong"
And I think you should put this new information about the DCA at a side for a moment, go talk to friends and info dump about your original AUs and ideas, brighten up a little bit that spark that makes you create your art and just have fun talking about it. Because the fact that he's sassy in one game doesn't mean that that's the only trait to his personality now.
He can be mean, he can be anxious, short tempered, good intended, caring, dramatic, a little bitch, a cinnamon roll... He can be all the things you can come up with, in this fandom he's always been all of the above and more in different ways, in different stories. And you can still write him the way you want, people can still interpret him the way they want, don't let canon or other people or your own thoughts stop you from creating your AUs.
Instead use it to get inspired, get new ideas and create new stories. They turned the tables, you can turn them back up. He can be mean because of the virus but get softer to you with time, you can make a story about self-confidence and worth, he can hate and love his job simultaneously for different reasons.
The AUs where he's soft and caring are still going to be there, the fics where he's good with kids and patient are still going to get written. Keep writing those fics, don't stop just because canon says otherwise. I stopped writing my steampunk AU when the mimic was revealed to be burntrap and not Afton because "it wasn't canon anymore so my AU is not accurate anymore" and I'm still with that thorn stuck in the back of my head for not continuing writing even if it wasn't canon accurate anymore. Because I actually got excited about writing that AU but for the way my brain see things "if it wasn't canon accurate it wasn't worth it" and let me tell you that's a shit of mentality.
So please
Please please please please
Don't give up on your stories and creativity like that.
The immense variety of characterizations and AUs is one of the pillars of this community and one of the coolest things. The fact that you can come up with any concept for these two dorks and make it an investing story and you have a whole catalog to choose from what you're going to see next. Don't let that stop.
I love this community even if I don't understand it sometimes and I barely interact, I love seeing people having fun making their AUs, going nuts making fanarts and gifting art to each other just because it makes them happy.
Don't let this limit you.
Now I don't care how you share this, if rebloging, or reposting it, or rewriting the whole thing but shorter in your own post but just share this feeling with the community. It would be so sad if all the things that makes this place special crumbled because people aren't confident anymore in how they write the DCA because of a game that came out yesterday.
