Clumsy and Grouchy for the ask meme! q(≧▽≦q)

Two cuties!

Clumsy:

Sexuality headcanon: Panromantic Demisexual

Gender headcanon: He's a dude but he's never heard of toxic masculinity. He'll respond to anything as long as he knows it's addressing him. He likes dresses and rocks, he's a man of many talents.

A ship I have with said character: HANDYYYYYYY. There's a lot of Smurfs (and some non smurfs!) that would be amazing with him. My OTP is Clumsy/Handy so that's my answer. And I still have a soft spot for Clumsystorm, but mostly via fanarts than their interaction in TLV now.

A brOTP I have with said character: Brainy! I guess that's obvious enough. I know Brumsy is p/ much the most popular ship in the fandom and I don't begrudge that, but it's getting brOTP from me.

A NOTP I have with said character: Clumsy has so much love to give, who could he possibly hate?? Hm, ok, Clumsy/Buddy. I don't think anyone ships that. If you do you're sick /lh

A random headcanon: His favourite animals are penguins! They're cute and fall down a lot, just like him!

General Opinion over said character: He's my darling, my baby, my ragtime boy. He can do nothing wrong ever and if he did it wasn't him. That being said I DO like him being mischievous from time to time, as a treat.

//

Grouchy:

Sexuality headcanon: Bi

Gender headcanon: He hates people asking him these questions

A ship I have with said character: Grouchy/Vanityy~ Smurfs 2 really pulled out the stops with this. Yeah ok it's the ass joke. I'm (partially) kidding, the whole movie set them up with a really interesting dynamic and I liked it a lot! But even the 80's cartoon had a couple moments that made me go !!

A brOTP I have with said character: Hm ... you know what? Grouchy & Gutsy. They seemed to be friends in the first LA movie, and Grouchy needs friends :)

A NOTP I have with said character: Grouchy/Vexy. I'm sorry. It could have been good. But it was the most forcefully shoehorned side-romance that I've ever seen. He has a moment of 'woa' when he sees her promptly followed by him telling Smurfette and Papa to let her DIE. And then after they're supposed to .. what? Be chill w/ that? Plus Smurfs 2 made it weird calling Hackus the other's brother when Vexy and him - oh look it was just done badly ok I'm sorry. It could have been good, I harbour no malice to those that do ship it but I just can't.

A random headcanon: He hates to admit it, but he really likes picking out flowers for Vanity's hat <3

General Opinion over said character: I love how such a one joke character is so well beloved and for good reason! The character development between him and the bzz fly and caring for Baby .. he's rly good.

Yesterday I managed to get another game done on my checklist for “Meet my ingame child in every HM/SoS game I own”. It was The Lost Valley. A little baby girl named Tovia. Despite its flaws, I had quite fun with the ingame year I spent, terraforming the valley is just fun and I love the plant mutations.  Now it is time to switch over to the next game.

If you're a drama-free Natsume Harvest Moon blog, can y'all reblog or like this post so I can follow you? I'd like to see a blog that features 80-90% Natsume Harvest Moon content.

There's so much toxicity and virtriol when it comes to those games and usually all I see with their hate are just throwing around bland comparison memes between Natsume's Harvest Moon to Story of Seasons/Stardew Valley or it's just blind hate that don't give any constructive criticism to the Harvest Moon games. I had enough with the hate and I'm tired of Stardew Valley and Story of Seasons being treated like the paragon of farming games that can't be criticized.

If you're a Natsume Harvest Moon blog, gimme a holler and I'll follow you.

All of the protagonists of Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, in chronological order! I couldn't help but wonder though, why have they never had a main character with black hair?? In terms of the default look, they're usually brunet, every now and then blond. Mysterious...

Weird thoughts on where Natsume went wrong and why they thought it was right

Okay disclaimer, I actually do like their games. Don’t think anything wrong with people who don’t, that’s fine and I in fact do understand some of the arguments that have some thought behind them.

That being said I’ve been playing AWL SE and something hit me. In both AWL and Natsume games animals play a big part in your income. Crops are interesting, crops are fun, ‘higher’ crops (be it fusions or mutations) bring in the bigger bucks. AWL is general spoken of favorably in many circles. Natsume wanted to ‘go back to the game’s roots’.

So what went wrong?

Well aside from the fact that a lot of people seem to feel like they basically stole the name and dragged it in the mud (which what they mean is the series really since the name is theirs and all regardless of how one feels about it they were the ones who came up with it, not saying anyone is right or wrong that’s not what this is about but I did want to point out the distinction), they missed the best points of AWL.

Sure, I HATE that you die. That the game decides when you’re done. I started with HM 64. I love to this day FoMT and DS. This game kills you, literally kills you. BUT it’s a very story and atmospheric game, and even hating the whole dying thing I can appreciate that very much.

And that’s where a lot of the charm comes from. Don’t get me wrong, the gameplay doesn’t suck or something. But the whole story narrative, complete with chapters and actual story telling, is charming. The valley is pretty. The people are neat.

The short seasons combined with the actual end of the game throw me off badly, perhaps more than most even, but the whole thing feels very nice while playing. Your kid is actually a part of things, they don’t just feel like an end to a quest. (A problem a lot of people have about later titles seems to be that kids don’t feel really interactive, you get married and have them but... What then? Get them to get older, but really not much else.)

And I think they tried to go back to the atmosphere and characters too, the characters don’t suck in their games. The valley I think was an attempt at both making something new and yet capturing the atmosphere of Forget Me Not Valley. But somehow it’s just not quite as atmospheric as the games I think they wanted to be more like.

I think people don’t see what they’re going for and I think they don’t see how to fix it while building more towards what it at least seems to me like their goal was, and it’s a crying shame. Especially since it feels like with trying to fix them for the audience they’ve lost some of the atmospheric charm.

Say what you want about TLV, but to me the environment had way more charm than their newest entry. I won’t even go so far as to call it ugly, but it’s too ‘bright’ and ‘modern’ to facilitate the kind of charm that they really need to put out what it seemed like they were going for at the start. (Even little things such as actually using the actual item sprite for foraging would help, it’s immersion breaking to see generic images for each type of forage. I’m sorry, but they do exist in game and it’s jarring.)

IDK I’m probably going to get a lot of comments about the newest controversy and how they tried to bank off the old games and whatever and honestly, not to be rude if that’s how you feel that’s fine I’m not trying to be bossy but, that’s not even what this is about. This is about where I think they tried to go and where they went wrong. This is about looking at it from a new angle, one I haven’t seen said before, and going this could have been great.

What is your opinion on The Lost Valley?

I’m so sorry this reply has been delayed for so long; I’ve been working a lot and I haven’t had a ton of free time! So, yeah, TLV. Please keep in mind that this is all my opinion! Here it goes:

Plenty of other farmers have weighed in on the Natsume/Marvelous drama, so here’s my bit of input: it makes me a little sad that Natsume is using the name we’ve come to know and love for a new series, but it is just a name and Natsume has been working on HM for a long time, so (to paraphrase fogu) hopefully both series will be successful and widely enjoyed.

The game itself? I’ll be honest, I’m not much of a fan, especially compared to SOS. I just couldn’t get into it. It’s weirdly similar to Minecraft (which, of course, isn’t inherently bad; it’s just not traditional HM or what I expected) and the lack of a village was an immediate turn off for me. What I love most about HM (besides the false sense of productivity it gives me, hah) is the character interaction. I love having neighbors and villagers to visit and give gifts to every day, and while there were obviously other characters in TLV besides the player character, I felt like it was missing that fundamental aspect that makes HM great in my mind. The other characters just sort of roamed around the valley at certain times if I remember correctly. It felt kind of lonely! 

The characters that I did meet weren’t especially memorable in my opinion, except for maybe the marriage candidate who was a bard. The rhyming was a cute touch, although a little cringe-worthy at times.

I don’t think I’ve played nearly enough to say anything beyond that (I played fewer than 15 hours, I think), but I do plan on giving it another chance at some point despite all this. I know that it does have a lot of fans, and that’s awesome. To each their own, y’know? It just wasn’t my cup of tea.

So yeah! That’s my opinion on TLV. Thanks for the ask and sorry for being long-winded.

Hiya butters! So I'm kinda new to this whole asking questions so I'm gonna hope I'm doing this right but my questions are how have you been and what's your favorite smurf media outside of the 80's series and comics?

There's no wrong way to do a question! :) I try and answer them all unless they're rude or I really have no idea how to respond XD Other than that you can pretty much say or ask anything!

I've been good! I'm on Easter break today, we messed around in motion capture suits so that was fun to get out of classes lmao

Hm, fave media that isn't 80's or Comics? Honestly? NTOB! I know, I know, the English dub leaves a lot to be desired but bad voice acting aside ... idk, it's really fun? I adoreeee the cgi style they've taken from TLV, but now we actually get to see more characters participating properly in the CGI and not just for one scene, and TLV girls get more personality! I think it's a wonderful reboot and if I was much more fluent in French I think it would be extra enjoyable - I can pick up a word or sentence here and there but it's about my limit. Still waiting for it to come to freeview in the UK though, or at the very least waiting till they air more dubs that I can hopefully find online *cough*flyingaceenglishdubWHEN??*cough*

I'd have to say my other favourite (as a bonus!) piece of media is Le Schtroumpf Qui Etait Maladroit - it has panels I suppose but I'd consider it a picture book and not exactlyyyyyyyyy a COMIC comic so ... I can get away with it right?

Let's rate all Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons summer themes! Why? Because it's summer at my half of the globe! SNES - I never really liked this theme. Too busy, too energetic, too repetiteve. It is fine enough to listen too though, but it was never one of my favs. GB/GBC - It's the same melody as SNES, but with the Game Boy sound font. For some reason, it actually sounds BETTER like that. Yeah, I prefer the GBC one to the SNES one. 64 - Hmm... I am torn on that theme. Similar to the SNES theme, it feels too busy for me and the first few notes are a bit grating, but the melody is pretty catchy and entraps you to hum along. Also, the quieter part of the theme sounds pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty solid ^^ If only the loud entry wouldn't be. GBC2 - YIKES! That was my reaction when it started, but it gets gradually better and turns into a pretty enjoyable little melody, sounds very much like summer. BTN - Aaah, now we are talking! This song is just FUN! It lets you think about a fun summer day on the beach. The melody starts a bit frantic and then gets calmer for the second verse, and you just want to wave your body along the melody and eat ice cream. It's a bit short though... GBC3 - Like pretty much every entry for this game, the music is pretty yikes. It just... isn't very good. It isn't an ear grater, but also not very enjoyable to listen to. AWL - While AWL lacks a summer theme on its own, because you can only play disks in your house and on your farm, it uses a song from Save the Homeland and that one is remixed pretty well. FoMT - It's the same melody as BTN but in the GBA sound font. It sounds well enough, but it can't beat the PSX version of it! Yes, I am biased, I prefer BTN over FoMT, end me if you please. BTN was the better game and I wished SoS FoMT would have been more BTN and less FoMT. MM - My husband goes around and hums this theme when I play Magic Melody ^^ And I get why, it's an earworm! It has this absolute summer feel, similar to BtN, from a summer day at the beach you want to spend with ice cream. It has such a tropical feel and once the main melody sets in, you can't help but hum along the music. I especially love the key change at around 1.17 ^^

StH Farm Theme - Ah, it's the theme got used in AWL, but this version is SO MUCH BETTER. I love the charming little melody, the guitar melody in the background, how the melody slowly splashes along and then turns into a flute to just tell you that you are on the countryside and sit leaned against the fence on your farm while there are 30 C and you are completely fine with it. StH Town Theme - Ah, this theme is a lot more energetic and quick. While it kinda remixes the farm theme (every StH theme does that), it doesn't carry quite the same nostalgia as the farm theme. The part that starts at 0.43 is super rad though and I love this bit. DS - I never have been a fan of this summer theme. It just feels like it starts and never ends. It just goes on and on and on and ugh... it annoys me kind of. At least you can switch the music in HM DS. IoH - This game kinda manages to nail all its themes, it is such a charming little song that makes me think of a summer breeze, but it's sadly, like every IoH song far too short. HoLV - Aw, what a charming little song ^^ The bassline melody and the main melody really contemplate each other and unite into a song that sounds like you want to let your feet doused by the river on a hot summer day.

ToT Day Theme - ToT goes a very different route with it's summer theme. It's a downright relaxing song. It is a joy to listen to, for it gives you the feeling that you are allowed to slow down and do your chores in your own pace. I really like the key change in this one. Sadly, the song falls short. ToT Night Theme - It's the same melody as the day theme, but... it sounds a bit haunted in my opinion ^^' ToT's night themes all have this problem. The key change though is really good here, make it sound like a warm summer night under the stars. SI - Hmmm... it's ok to listen to, I guess, but I don't actually feel a lot when I listen to this theme. It doesn't have a very summery feel for me and actually feels a bit chaotic. AP Day Theme - I LOVE THIS THEME! Ok, I say it, that is downright my favourite summer theme in the whole series! It starts with such joyful piano notes and then the piano takes a back seat with the same three notes that goes up and down while the main melody kicks in and just tells you that this is a summer day and you will enjoy it and you will have fun doing your chores and then sit at the beach that is right in front of your farm or share a cold drink with your sweet heart. My husband also can't stop humming this theme whenever I play AP, that shows how much of an earworm it is ^^ AP Night Theme - The melody is the same one as the day theme, but played more slowly and more relaxing. While I prefer the day theme, this one is super solid as well and a joy to listen too, especially the bassline of this song. GB - Ah, a fun little theme ^^ It is very fitting for the world of the game which seems to be set in the netherlands. I like listening to it, it is a song that you want to sway to.

ToTT - I hear the first few notes of this and instantly know that is summer, that is how much this summer theme got ingrained into my mind. It is one of the more relaxing themes though and there isn't much indication that it is a summer theme actually, so while it works very well as song, it isn't the greatest summer theme. ANB - Is it the 3DS game with the best music in the series?! It is! And ANB doesn't disappoint, the summer theme SLAPS! It is a joyful little song which runs at a quick pace and lets you feel like it is summer and you want to go to the mountains and sweat while you climb out and then go for a swim in the river on your way back up. The key change at 0.53 is just GREAT and it gets me every little time I play the game. TLV Day Theme - Aw, I always liked this little theme, it is a very relaxing theme and it fits the valley that is your playground in this theme. I just liked to terraform while this relaxing music played. TLV Night Theme - Um, are we at a jazz bar? Because that legit sounds like a theme that would play at night in a jazz bar, where you sit with your drink and just chill while you look at the jazz band performing. SoS Day Theme - SoS is special, because in that game you actually CAN SWIM IN THE RIVER, so I really like that the summer theme is so enjoyable to listen to, because you can actually cool off in this game ^^ Go swim and dive while this little theme plays, mostly played with plucking instruments. SoS Night Theme - Oh, this one starts a bit slow, but gets really nice to listen to once it hits the first 30 seconds. A very relaxing song, another one that makes me want to douse my feet in water and look at the starts while I stay on the countryside. SV Day Theme - I kinda always liked this tune. It is a fun little tune that feels like summer and has a nice melody to it, but that is pretty much all I have to say about it. SV Night Theme - Ah, we are back at the jazz bar ^^ The quiet piano melody is very jazzy and yeah, that is all I can say about it. SoS 3oT - It's a nice melody and enjoyable listening to it, but I don't really feel summer with this theme, so I am a bit torn on it. I think I prefer the fall and winter themes in this game. It's really nice to listen to though like I said, so I don't mind that it plays for 31 ingame days straight. LoH Day Theme - A nice song that totally sounds like summer to me, but like the rest of LoH's music, it just kinda... splashes along and nothing really happens. LoH Night Theme - Hmmm... it really isn't anything happening in this theme. It is more a melody so that it isn't quiet. SoS FoMT Weekday Theme - It's the tune of BtN but remixed.. and... in a good way actually! This song SLAPS! I really like what they do to my summer time beach fun song. SoS FoMT Weekend Theme - God, I LOVE this song! For some reason, SoS FoMT added a remix of the seasonal songs for the weekends and festival days and this one is such a banger, I can't help but bop to it, it's so good! It just sounds so much like summer and you just want to run around and dance to it while you enjoy your day off at the beach. Doraemon SoS Day Theme - What a cute little song ^^ It is on the more relaxing side, but it clearly has a summery feel to me. The video shows Nobita napping on the beach and well, isn't that a mood for this song ^^ Doraemon SoS Night Theme - Nobita still naps in the video and well, the music turned into his lullaby I guess ^^ It is mainly a guitar solo that is played slowly and very quietly, very very relaxing. I think I am falling asleep as well... OW - Sadly no one uploaded this music... which is a shame, because it is really good and the song gets remixed depending in which country you are. I really dislike how much hate this game got, because it is actually a solid entry and has some of the best music in the franchise. PoOT Weekday theme - I HATE THIS THEME! It isn't because the melody is bad, it's that DAMN TRUMPET! Why is the trumpet player playing it so... crazy? Why are so many notes sounding off key? The song would slap if the

trumpet wouldn't be there! I love every part of it, but then the trumpet ruins my day. Ugh! UGH! I legit had to switch the music off at first while playing until I got used to this horrible horrible trumpet. PoOT Weekend theme - Oh thank GOD! This theme is without the horrible trumpet. I prefer the holidays in PoOT summer a LOT because the song is actually enjoyable to listen to and it sounds very much like summer as well.
