Brainstorming Fragile Life mechanics. Gonna go on a rant about these ideas.
So the concept is the tamagotchis are linked to the players lives. Players have to keep them healthy in order to keep their current life. Players have daily quests to fulfill to keep their tamagotchis healthy, failure to do so drops them down a colour.
I also am tinkering with the idea of a sabotage boogey mechanic where maybe once a week a boogey is selected, if the boogey successfully stops the completion of another player's mandatory quest they gain a life going up a colour. Failure to sabotage gives them a harder task the next day which basically just increases their odds of dropping a life. (might make it a more common occurrence but don't wanna make it too unfair)
I've also been thinking of who may team with who. Pearl and Gem. Lizzie, Grian and Jimmy. Scott, Tango and Scar. Cleo and Impulse.
Players without a team really are Etho, Martyn and Joel.
I wanna play around with Watchers and Listeners stuff. Maaaybe Speakers? I'd wanna play around with the idea that none of them really have the players interests at heart, like where Watchers its obvious cause of the games, Listeners its subtle like swaying the players to purposefully mess with the games. Like the players are just pawns in the little war behind the scenes. If I do Speakers they'd be somewhere in the middle, they'd be openly honest about the fact they aren't there to help you for your own benefit but still lend a hand from time to time for their own personal gains.
I think like in Martyn lore, Watchers eat negative emotions. I would lean towards the Listeners liking every emotion and not wanting to limit it but still wanting to control it when they're in the mood for something more specific. Speakers would probably be like, I wouldn't say positive emotions, but more chaotic. Stuff like the joy and excitement players get from pulling off a trap or something, a malicious joy if that makes any sense.
I don't really have their goals in mind yet, Watchers is easy cause I'll just lean towards Martyn lore and that meaning technically their goals are currently being achieved successfully but now the other parties want in on it in their own way.
There'd be one player to each being. So if there's only Watchers and Listeners that's gonna be Grian and Martyn. I've also decided that these specific type of players lean a bit towards the side of the beings they're assigned to for one reason or another. Example being maybe Grian siding with Watchers cause despite not agreeing with them he may find their games to be a safer option than what the others have planned.
That's about all I got right now.

some more silly rogues’ headcannons I thought of! Thank you everyone for the validation on the last ones, it made me smile! :D
[part 1] [part 2] [part 3] [part 4] [part 5] [part 6]
- they all have a Minecraft server together that's utter madness! Riddler has perfected redstone and he makes puzzle riddle traps in game, it drives Joker INSANE. Ivy goes around planting giant trees and flowers without asking. And Bane has a nice little house and no one dares ruin it, it brings him so much joy.
- Scarecrow always has chapstick on him, it's mango flavored
- Riddler has a tamagotchi, he will cry if it dies. If you're the goon that has to watch it while he's in Arkham, be scared.
- Harvey still posts on his Twitter, Twoface has an invite only after dark account. He just reposts memes everyone else has already seen and overshares random personal information and middle school level poetry. Also Harvey & Twoface are currently in a four year long tweet war about an episode of Law and order
- Out of all the rogues, Joker owns the most shoes. He has a storage unit full of racks of different tailored costumes, shoes, and makeup. He wears an expensive french brand of makeup he has to ship to Gotham, and he doesn't do any crimes without wearing his lucky lipstick brand
- Scarecrow loves animal crossing, his island is decked out and Halloween themed. He hosts parties with the rogues on his island
- Riddler set up a VPN & free cable/wifi for all the rogues to use so they can stream whatever, but you have to answer a riddle to get the password. Joker hates it but he also needs to watch the new criminal minds reboot before Harley spoils it
- one time during a party, the rogues managed to convince a very drunk Harvey & Twoface to sing/reinact songs from phantom of the opera and later jekyll and hyde (Twoface is emotionally a theater kid)
- Harley and Twoface get really into murder podcasts together one time while in Arkham. Even after they all break out, they video call after new episodes drop to talk about it. One time they tried to do a podcast but it turned out Joker did the crime so like it wasn't much of a plot twist
- Harley streams her crimes sometimes & actually makes some sick side cash off it! Half the time her chat is just obsessing over her interactions with Ivy. Also Ivy is one of her top donors
- Catwoman is TikTok famous, she posts story times, how to do simple parkour and pick locks, and hauls from crimes. All of her money from sponsorships and stuff goes to charity (she gets sent a bunch of free cat food for her cats, it's awesome!)
- Joker scrapbooks, he did it for a gag originally but low key got into it and now he may or may not have a scrapbooking room. He tries to go to Michael’s incognito but like, everyone knows.. The employees are like “yo, the Joker is at the help desk asking about if we have batman scrapbooking decals? Do.. Do I ask if he wants to sign up for the rewards program? Is he allowed to sign up?” Yes he signed up for the rewards program
- Joker also often signs up for various rewards programs but when he doesn’t want their emails, he gives them scarecrow’s email. Scarecrow has a bounty for whoever stops the man signing up ALL his emails for the Chilies newsletter
- the rogues throw Harley a roller skating lasertag party, where they also learn Harvey can't skate to save his life. He's the dedicated party mom that's standing at the railing about to fall down while he cheers on the others doing tricks and he's in charge of everyone's coat at the table. Joker uses all of his tickets to buy bouncy balls and sticky hands. Catwoman is a god at laser tag, she nearly gave Scarecrow a heart attack when she dropped form the vents to snip him. At the end of the party, they all steal Harley the go kart that's worth like 10,000 tickets. Batman shows up to Harley doing donuts in the parking lot while all the other villains are fighting with sticky hands and bouncy balls
- Bane likes camping and takes all the rogues in hopes to get camping buddies, they all almost die out in the woods because it's a disaster but also he had a great time! The Joker brings a camera and the whole time is making dated Blair Witch jokes with Scarecrow, which Harvey doesn't find funny and not because he's scared of the Blair witch.. Riddler screams running off into the woods because of a bee "chasing" him, no one sees him until three weeks later when they remember that they forgot him in the woods. Clayface uses a survivalist persona/character the whole time they're out there but he knows nothing about survivalism, eating poisonous berries and telling them poison ivy is a healing herb. Ivy is probably the only one suited for camping and she has to make sure most of them don't die
- Harley collects pins! She has a pin board in her hideout. The other rogues give her pins they find/obtain around Gotham
- The Joker has spent 3 years trying to perfect confetti smoke bombs

Sumikko Friend Review
This will be a long one. I never really thought that I will own any virtual pet that isn't Tamagotchi. But then I saw Sumikko Friend and I couldn't stop thinking about it for months, until I got a chance to buy it. It was pricey, true, but after having it for a while I can say - it's worth it.
General score: 9/10
Design
First off, I really love the design. The toy is of similar size as a colour-screen Tamagotchi, but it's way lighter. The back is flat - you can rest the device comfortably on a table or other surface, however most of the interactions use the motion sensor, so get ready to hold your new buddy a lot. It ever has little leg-like bumps to avoid scratching the back.
The screen is the same size as Tamagotchi's, but it differs when it comes to the display. Sumikko screen is way softer, with pastel colours. Very nice to look at, especially if you're a fan of pastel aesthetics. However, it's a pain to take a good photo of it - the contrast is too low to make the details of the background as well-visible as in real life. It's a shame. I want people to see how pretty the rooms and animations are! Especially since some of the wallpapers for the rooms are animated, something I've never seen in Tamagotchi.
The brightness settings are alright. The sound is a bit worse - the device is quite loud even at the lowest setting. And it makes a lot of sounds - games, animations, Friend Mode. There is always some squeaking to be done. Fortunately, the sounds are all very pleasant, so it's actually a very nice experience. Just remember to mute it in public. Another trick is to simply cover the speaker at the back with your finger - that's not really possible with Tamagotchi, where the speakers are more hidden.
The device comes with 2 covers - Tokage and Shirokuma. I will elaborate on their functions later on. Here I just want to say that they are so pretty. The designs are simple and very cute. Especially the Shirokuma cover gets me - the little ears are just adorable. The plastic used is solid, matte and smooth, very pleasant to touch.
Finally, there are 2 physical buttons and one touch one, hidden at the top of the device. The left button is used to choose, the right one to confirm, and the touch button on top is the cancel one. The buttons are responsive and nice to touch. The touch one is very sensitive and works very well.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
2. Basic idea behind the device
Sumikko Friend is my first non-Tamagotchi virtual pet, so I had to adjust to a different gameplay. The most important difference is that your characters don't evolve nor grow up. You have 2 pets in this model: Tokage (a blue water dragon who pretends to be a lizard) and Shirokuma (a polar bear who moved south due to disliking cold climate.) They don't change - the goal of taking care of them is to become good friends. They don't grow old nor leave. The true fun is playing and interacting with the characters. There are a few levels of friendship and they are increased by playing, feeding and petting Tokage and Shirokuma.
Tumblr media
Another important goal is to collect pictures of Sumikko characters, foods and toys. It's done through using traps - there are quite a lot of them. You can either buy them or get them through Outing (another feature I will elaborate on later while talking about the main menu.) This part of the gameplay is cute, though not the most engaging. I often forget about it, but once I remember, I have to admit - the Sumikko illustrations are very cute.
Tumblr media
So yeah, your buddies won't die if you mistreat them. They might run away, though. Still, getting them back is not difficult. Generally, Sumikko Friend is not that demanding when it comes to attention it needs.
3. Sumikko Rooms and Basic Care
Tumblr media
Here you have an overview of the menu. We'll start with the Sumikko Rooms.
There are 2 of them - Tokage's and Shirokuma's. The characters sit, sleep and play there. You can toggle between them with the left button. The right one opens the care menu. Here you can feed, play the games that use the covers, clean the room, use the shower, check the stats and go Outing. You can also give toys to your pets and change the room wallpaper/furniture.
Tumblr media
What's important about feeding is that both characters have their favourite/disliked foods. The favourite foods will fill up the hunger meter faster, while the disliked foods will get rejected and not eaten. You can check which items are liked/disliked by each character online (I highly recommend checking out the English translation of the manual made by Fuzzy N Chic - it includes the foods and care tips too.)
Showering and cleaning the room is needed more often if you play the games a lot. Especially the room dusting is important - if you don't do it often enough, the dust will block your screen and make it impossible to play until you clean it.
Remodel allows you to change the wallpaper and the furniture in the left corner of the screen. Some of the wallpapers are unlocked through increasing the friendship meter, some are obtained through Outing. The furniture can be either bought in the Sumikko Market or obtained through Outing as well. The wallpapers are usually animated - it's a beautiful detail. The moving swing or a tree rustling in the wind are very cute.
The toys unlock new idle animations. They are adorable - I especially love the doll house and knitting ones. While knitting, the characters take a break to stare at you, which feels like a real interaction that happen when your pet realises that you're watching them play. Very sweet.
Tumblr media
Outing is a very interesting feature. While using it, the screen shows a map. When you walk around with the Sumikko device in your pocket/backpack, the little pin on the map moves around. In the top left corner, you see the counter of the circles walked around the map. The device actually reacts to shaking, so if you want to, you can simulate taking walks by shaking it (lazy!) In the Outing mode, the characters collect food, toys, furniture and traps for catching Sumikko.
The Friend Games: there are 5 games. They are quite simple and fun. 4 of them use the movement sensor, which makes them more interactive.
Imitating Freeze: the character makes a sequence of dance moves. Your task is to repeat them but tilting the device in the right directions
Look this way: very similar to the first one, but quicker and without the sequence part. The character's face moves in a direction. Your job is to tilt the device in the same direction
Frilly Dancing: this one will make your hand hurt. Shake the poor creature up and down as fast as you can. The goal is to set a new record when it comes to the number of shakes in the given game time
Minikko Hide & Seek: the bean-shaped thing will hide in your room. Your task is to find it. Do it by tilting the device left or right. The ringing sound will become faster once you approach the bean. When you find it, the Sumikko will have a happy face. Touch the top of the cover to end the game
Smile Stop: the only game that doesn't use the motion sensor. Stop the changing Sumikko faces on a happy or neutral one. Do it by touching the top of the cover. Pro tip: the happiest face always comes after the frowned one. Once you see the frown, get ready to click
Finally, the Friend Check option is just to check the stats. It shows you the Friend level and hunger. I was slightly surprised that the stats are the last option. On the other hand, you don't really need to check what's going on - the characters will let you know what's wrong through animations.
The Sumikko wake up at 6 am and fall asleep at 8 pm. Good for students, not that good for lazy cucks who have nothing better to do. Well, the toy is meant for a younger audience, so I can't blame them. Still, I'd prefer if they went to sleep a bit later.
4. Traps
The next option in the main menu is the Sumikko catching. To start, you need some traps. The metal claw is free and unlimited, but the rest you need to either buy at the market or get from Outing. There are a few methods of using the traps - that depends on what's displayed on the screen. Sometimes you need to tilt the device, sometimes click a button. Just pay attention to the animation on the screen.
As I've mentioned in the second segment, the point of this feature is to obtain cute Sumikko illustrations. There isn't anything more to it, but it's still nice.
Sometimes, you will randomly get a chance to draw a special price, usually a food item or another trap. Also, sometimes a wild Sumikko or Minikko appears and you can catch them for free.
Tumblr media
5. Settings
Quite self-explanatory. Here you can set the date, time, your birthday, brightness, sound, use the secret passwords and reset the device.
The remarkable thing are the secret codes. They aren't numeric, like in Tamagotchi, but consist of a few shapes that you need to arrange in the correct order. It's hard to find them, especially since the device is quite unknown in western countries, but I found this website that has some:
Also, the Fuzzy N Chic review video on YT includes the code from a gift card that was attacked to some sets. Unfortunately, I didn't get one in mine.
6. Sumikko Market
Here you can buy food, toys, furniture and traps. You'll be here quite often - Tokage and Shirokuma eat a lot. The prices are fine, so don't worry too much about that even if you don't play games too often.
The toy and furniture offer is small, since most of it is obtained through Outing.
Tumblr media
7. Game centre
As you can easily guess, here you can find gamest. None of them demands the covers, so they are pretty comfortable and quick. I will quickly go over them here. Each game has 2 modes - easy and hard. The "hard" mode isn't really that hard, but it gives you more Sumikko coins, so usually I go with it. Interesting thing - you can play the games even once the Sumikko are asleep, Good for insomniacs, I suppose.
Shirokuma's Apple Harvest: tilt the device left and right to catch all the apples. Avoid acorns - they hurt Shirokuma and slow it down
Penguin's? Long Distance Run: tilt the device to make Penguin? run and collect stars. Reach the finish line before the time runs out. Avoid the holes - they make you lose instantly
Neko's Sumikko Eats: tilt the device up and down to avoid the bushes and eat the foods. The cat food gives you more energy than onigiri
Tokage's Gem Collecting: my personal favourite. Tilt the device in different directions to control the fat lizard as it collects the gems in the water. Watch out for the jellyfish - they will hurt and slow you down!
Tonkatsu's Happy Dance: fried bits will come from left and right. Once they are in the circle, click left or right button to throw them off
Sumikko Roulette Fortune: click left or right button to stop the roulette. Various characters give you different points. This game is the easiest but gives very few Sumikko coins
8. Library
Here you can see all the pictures/items you've collected. Each has a short description. Not the most interesting if you don't read Japanese, but they are quite adorable.
9. Friend Mode
When you put on one of the covers, your device goes into the Friend mode. The face of the character is displayed on the screen and you can interact with them. This is necessary to keep them happy throughout the day - nothing will replace physical touch. Pet them, rock them to the sides and press on their hands. They love it, especially the petting.
Pro-tip: rocking won't work unless the Sumikko is already happy. Just pet them with gentle stroked on top of the device, giving them breaks to return to regular face. Once they start blushing after some petting, it means they are happy. Then you can rock them too.
In my experience, Shirokuma is more demanding in care than Tokage - they go hungry at the same time but Shirokuma gets upset faster.
Tumblr media
10. Conclusion
Generally, I highly recommend getting Sumikko Friend. It's unique and amazing to play with. You just can't get enough of looking at it. You can get some decent offers on eBay (that's where I got mine.) The gameplay is very different from Tamagotchi, but it's a welcome fresh breeze. I absolutely love it and it made me want to take further look into the Sumikko franchise

One thing I want from horror media is a character or concept that isn't scary or looks intimidating intentionally.
I think some good aspects to use in horror around childhood is the uncanny valley. Skinamarink had something going on that hits well, along with the original Child's Play film.
Call me a little fucking hater for saying this but I think right now in most fucking media the 1980s is way too overutilized and just milks all of the cool things about it. It's gone. It's done.
Stranger Things and It 2017 was good but we as a society need to move away from the 80's as a time period.
Nobody ever fucking talks about how genuinely terrifying the 1990s were looking back on them to a point where it's almost funny.
There is so much untapped potential in the idea of the monster under the bed, or playground rumors outside of video games, like Mexican Jumping Beans actually being alive or the kid on Double Dare who broke their arm open during filming and you could see the bone.
Early internet was a nightmare with viruses, screamers and the anonymity of things like AOL. The amount of Weird Food that existed like Taco Bell Lunchables, that could easily be a modern Soylent Green or the toy fads.
The 1990's has a concerning amount of toys that could burn you, scalp you and pluck your eyes out. The Snacktime Cabbage Patch Doll gave hundreds of kids nightmares, people temporarily thought Tamagotchis were beeping messages in morse code, Skydancers would regularly throw themselves into fires and off cliffs.
I think it would be unbelievably fucked up to do a sequel to The Stuff but with Flarp or some shit from Halloween 3 but with a Viewfinder that stabs your eyes in or something.
There is so much inherent danger to the 1990s that people do not ever talk about and I really wish they would.
People back then were so fucking paranoid and then 9/11 kicked it completely off the ramp and made it a million times worse. Most of English-speaking countries were dead set convinced that Furbies could record conversations and give it to the USSR or something.
Everyone was completely pissing their pants over the idea of subliminal messaging, and completely terrified of things like the paid phone services like Freddy Freaker.
Max Headroom is right there. If done correctly someone could make a mascot similar to what happened with Bartmania and start a borderline cult with the idea of tie-in merchandise.
Don't forget about the fact that for almost a good 2 years McDonald's was routinely giving away cups with uranium in them, or the Burger King pokeballs that suffocated several people.
Even just branching outside the US, there's good ideas for horror. Mr. Blobby had a mascot costume that horrified people, the weird universal hate about how unnerving the Teletubbies were. Literally any scary Thomas the Tank Engine compilation has dozens of ideas.
Angela Anaconda is one thing that is still a childhood media trauma staple, The Ring, Delicatessen, there's so many good inspirations without dipping into the mundane.
Legends of the Hidden Temple was a death trap waiting to happen. One thing that used to freak out my friend's mother, who was a middle school teacher when they had free time in school and the kids asked to watch TV was the idea of one of the kids suffocating in the slime at almost any Nickelodeon game show because it was very, very thick and expanded fast.
There's also another classic horror trope anyone could use an abuse where a corrupted director becomes obsessed with one of his child stars who loses their shit and eventually kills him or something because of a lack of identity post cancelation and no way to see themselves outside of their role, the idea of someone like the little girl from The Land Before Time surviving her attacker and waiting to kill them because child stardom is a genuine curse is Fun.
There was always the weird dream like feeling of waking up at 3:00 in the morning and seeing the George Lopez show playing, or staying home sick and seeing reruns of telenovelas or talk shows that are vague memories in the back of your mind.
Staying up late with a friend to watch Adult Swim and getting scared by the bumpers, there is so, so, so much.
Please utilize other time periods. There is better horror sooner in the past.

(Not my ass going yippee in my head when I saw you were doing FNF stuff more frequently again & your requests were open /gen)
Related to the Hypno's Lullaby mod, I'd love to see some friendship headcanons with Shinto; she's literally my favorite character from the mod and I'd 100% hang out with her if given the chance.
If this is a bit vague, maybe something with Gray too? Maybe you're the player of the bootleg game and over the course of it, you realize the game's sentient and stuff with you becoming friends with BOTH of them!
I can imagine you carrying the Gameboy around to places like a Tamagotchi jwsdbjdb
Not me going yippee at this Shinto and Gray request <33
.........
So you obtained what you previously thought was Pokémon Silver (or at least a ripoff, given it was labeled “Gray” instead) from a Gamestop/thrift shop/friend who begged you to destroy it.
For nostalgia’s sake, you wanted to try it out since your Gameboy still worked.
Immediately you find out there’s no option to start a new game. You can only hit “Continue”.
Your character--Gray--was apparently at the entrance of a cave with sandy brown hues. He almost looked like a desaturated version of Red, but with spikier hair.
Checking the trainer card, you could tell the creators didn’t even try to hide the fact this was a bootleg game. The stats were total nonsense: Gray had badges from other regions (even Kalos and Alola, which should be impossible), the hours played and money collected both showed -100, and he had absolutely no Pokémon in his party. Not even a starter.
You then checked the Pokedex and saw only one Pokémon was registered:
Hypno, except this one was labeled “Shinto”, and was apparently a female. It had no furry collar, no pendulum, and hollow black eyes. But what was even more bizarre was the entry:
“SHINTO SO COOL!!!!SHINJTO NOT FROM BOOT LEG GAME BUT FROM REAL ONE!!!!PLAY WITH ME???”
Tbh it made you laugh a little, however upon returning to the overworld, Gray’s sprite turned to you.
“Don’t laugh..she’s scarier than you think.” The text box popped up.
You’re taken aback bc it could recognize your voice????
What the hell.
“You..can hear me?”
“I didn’t mean to startle you, it’s...just been a long time since anybody opened this game. It’s been so dark...and cold. What’s your name?”
“[Y/n]..”
As it turns out, Gray and Shinto (who showed up in the cave sometime later), were both sentient--aware that they’re trapped in a game. It wasn’t just the developers goofing around either...he had his own feelings.
Obviously he feels miserable about all of this, but Shinto doesn’t seem to care.
He doesn’t think of himself as a “real” trainer, though you reassure him it doesn’t matter how many badges or Pokémon he has.
“[Y/n], thank you but...there’s literally no Pokémon here except for her. They were too lazy to code anyone else in. I CAN’T be a trainer even if I wanted to be.”
“Then..why not catch her?” You suggested.
“....I tried once. She freaked out and nearly destroyed the entire game.” ‘‘..oh.”
Despite the circumstances, you managed to strike up a friendship with the two. Shinto would make standard Hypno noises with Gray as her translator. He can’t stand her but..she’s the only company he has. She’s like a cat who he loves/hates.
True to his word, there were no NPCs or Pokémon in the region. Just a mart, center, and Gray’s home. But you figured it was still worth exploring, so he let you despite not gaining any backstory on why the game was made like this.
Or even why Gray had such a distinct personality.
It’s clear they both have abandonment issues, so you’d take the Gameboy wherever you went, turning it on to chat with them about what was going on in the real world.
Hopefully one day you could bring them here, but for now you’ll make sure they’re not left in the dark anymore.

What would happen if MC did not disguise themselves, talked to Bo, freed him, and managed to give him a soul, together the two shared a dream of marrying each other and having a son and a daughter together. But Mc has to leave becaise of a family emergency telling Bo to stay. Emily was jealous of their relationship, disguised herself as MC and tricked Bo (baby trapped him). When Mc returned Bo realized to late what happened with Emily 6 months pregnant with their first pup. MC couldn't bring themselves to ruin a family. Years later Bo found out MC completed both their dream with another man while Bo trapped in a loveless relationship. Year later Bo's pup fell in love with MC's kid that acted and looked just like MC.
Tumblr media
First off, what is up with you guys and hurting Bo?? Not that I mind I love a good angst, but like damn 👀
Second, as much as I like this prompt, it would be a little hard to seem logical because Bo would have told the difference between their smells, and Emily is a human and can't change forms.
HOWEVER BECAUSE IM A SUCKER FOR ANGST I WILL WRITE IT BUT IT WILL BE A DIFFERENT TIMELINE
Tumblr media
You've always heard that demons were awful creatures who were only in it for themselves, but that didn't stop you from creating contract with one. You wanted the world to know your name, and if that meant signing your soul away, you were gonna do! However, if it came to the heftier price, then you realized.
As your fame started to skyrocket thanks to Emily, so did you need a companion. Every date you went on, it was clear they only wanted one thing out of you, and that was what you could provide from THEM. So you began to give up hope until you got a blue Tamagotchi with a friend named Bo.
You and Bo became close quick. He accepted every part of you like you did for him. He was there for you when things felt like they were too much. He made you feel whole. So in return you did the same for him. You had gotten him out of prison, gave him a life, and eventually a family when you gave birth to his first two pup c/n and Vince.
Everything seemed to fall into place for the two of you, but in an instant, it all crumbled. Your Father had fallen ill, and in a panic, you made a last-minute decision to go and see your family. Since it was so last minute you had asked Bo to stay with the two little one while you were away, and he reluctantly agreed.
However, unknowing to the both of you, something had stirred in Emily. She was jealous of what you had built with Bo. If anyone was deserving of such a sweet loving family, it was her! Not some spoiled brat! So she she came up with a plan to steal it all away. Two months after you left, she took your form and your family. She had known you for so long that it was easy to disguise everything she was into everything you were.
You didn't find out till you came home. There sitting on the couch was you holding a brand new baby, but you knew it wasn't you. It took a long time to piece together what had happened, and unable to stay in the house longer you left.
.
.
.
.
Bo hadn't found what had happened till years later when Emily could no longer keep your form. To say he upset was an understatement, but no matter how much he thought he hated her for what she did, he never left. He couldn't they had pups together, and every fiber in his being told him to stay. So he did, but he never stayed in the same room for a very long, just long enough to be there for his pups when he needs to.
He thought he would never see you again. That was until he decided to take his pups to the local park. Sure, everyone had to cover up with less human parts, but it was all worth it to see his pups have fun.
While pushing one of the pups in the swing, he caught a smell that he had smelled since Emily stopped putting on the facade....it was you. His head quickly turned to where he thought it was coming from to see you once again.
You were almost like he remembered you. The only difference being you were once again pregnant, but no longer his. Beside you stood a brown haired man with brown eyes to match. He couldn't help but watch the two of you interact. You seemed so in love....just like the two of you had been. You were going to start a family with him just like you did. He was watching the life he could have had with you but missed out on.
Bo had cried in the first time since everything, and nothing could those painful tears.

I’m Your Tamagotchi (Ch. 1)
Title: I’m Your Tamagotchi Fandom: Barbie (2023) Pairings: Ken/Original Character (M/M) Ratings: General Chapter: 1/? A/N: This is a very self-indulgent piece! It'll be several chapters and I'll be updating it a lot more when the movie comes out. If you want to listen to the playlist I made to write this, you can find it here.
Another perfect day in Barbie Land, just like it always was. All the residents went about their perfect lives as it was always so well-rehearsed. The Barbies all had very important jobs to do after all. Some were doctors, others were lawyers, and some were even politicians. Every important job was assigned to each Barbie to perform. And the Kens? Well…
Most of the Kens on the beach had been muttering to themselves, quietly daring each other to check out the source of the strange sound coming from the lighthouse they had been hearing all afternoon. It was a shrill and intense beeping that seemed to strike at random, making each and every one of them jump out of their skin in fright. They all postured and tried to act tough, stating that they weren’t that afraid of some silly noise. But someone should definitely check on it before the Barbies noticed. So they wouldn’t get scared, of course. No one had ever exactly gone up to the cliff where the pink and white striped lighthouse sat - there was never a reason for them to venture anywhere outside of the warm, sandy comfort of the beach.
Ken had been waxing his surfboard, eavesdropping on the conversation the entire time and scoffing at the cowardice of the other Kens. It was just a stupid sound, why were they getting so worked up? Maybe the lighthouse just… did that? Ken wasn’t exactly sure what noises lighthouses were supposed to make, his job wasn’t lighthouse keeper - was anyone actually designed with that in mind? - it was just beach. And because his job was beach, he felt a sense of responsibility to go up there and turn the noise off. It was getting annoying anyway.
[Continue Reading or Read on AO3!]
He propped up his surfboard in the sand and tossed the canister of wax aside, slinging his towel over his shoulder. The hike to the cliff was a breeze for Ken, the doll taking long strides as he grew closer to the lighthouse despite the sound becoming louder and louder. It was just the echo, that was it. It totally wasn’t a super scary monster about to lure him into a trap. Ken could feel a pang of nervousness rush through him at the thought, but the stubborn toy quickly pushed the thought aside. He’d be the hero that would keep Barbie safe. Maybe, if she saw how brave he was, it would earn him a proper kiss. A dopey smile stretched across his face, a toned hand reaching up to his cheek to where he envisioned Barbie planting her lips. Yes, he’d be a hero!
Without even realizing it, Ken was already at the entrance of the lighthouse as he walked through his picture perfect daydream. He stopped in his tracks, blinking a few times before he craned his neck upwards to properly stare at the looming structure. From the beach it didn’t look big, but up close? Well, he just hoped he didn’t have to go to the tippy-top to find this noise. Totally not because he was afraid of heights or anything. That would be silly. No, he had just… hit his steps for the day and didn’t want to go over them! It would be totally humiliating to the other Kens if they knew how hard he was working out for this.
As if the building sensed him, the old door swung open to greet him and nearly made Ken jump out of his plastic skin. This was weird. Like really weird. Cautiously, he peeked his head inside before taking a tentative step forward. The sudden sound from earlier pierced the eerie silence of the lighthouse. Ken frantically looked around for the source until the sound tapered off and faded completely. He used the light from the open door to peer around as best he could, but there was nothing there.
When he took another step forward, his foot brushed against something and sent it skittering across the floor before he could process it. There was a small thunk! as whatever it was impacted against the spiral staircase that led up to the actual light room itself. Another beep like the object had been startled by the movement. It was enough for Ken to find out where it had landed, his hand reaching out for it without a thought to stop himself.
Luckily, it wasn't anything dangerous or that would poke him like a pissed off pufferfish. It was a small plastic toy from the looks of it. A UFO shaped toy with little green buttons on the front. Ken stared at it for a moment, fingers ghosting over the left and right buttons. He pressed them down immediately with pure curiosity guiding him. There was a flash on the screen that startled him but then it quickly faded. He pushed down for longer, the same flash happening before a pixelated ghost popped onto the screen.
The device went dead for a moment before the speakers crackled to life once again. Instead of a shrill beep, there was a playful little melody that played before the screen was filled with solid black pixels. As the song played, each row of pixels danced off-screen to slowly reveal a silhouette of a figure. Ken leaned in closer, furrowing his brows in confusion. The song ended and the figure came to full view - it was a chubby little… alien? He looked like a little nerd, with curly hair, huge circle rimmed glasses and a funny little mustache, but there were clearly alien antennae sticking out of the mop of hair. The alien blinked at Ken before his face broke out in a wide smile.
“Wowee! Golly, I was starting to think my battery was gonna die before anyone found me,” the almost cartoonish voice chirped from the speaker.
Startled, Ken stumbled backwards and nearly tossed the device out of his hand. That… wasn’t what he was expecting at all.
“Woah! Easy, fella, I can’t exactly bitecha.”
The alien giggled as Ken adjusted himself. He cleared his throat, trying to play it cool like he hadn't just nearly screamed like a little girl.
“I guess you can’t. I’ve just… never seen something like you before.”
“And I’ve never seen someone like you before, Master!”
Ken stared at the device in confusion. Master? He could feel butterflies fluttering around in his stomach. No one had ever called him something like that before. It was so fancy and formal - far from what he was used to.
“Me?” he inquired, pointing to himself.
The device beeped again, the alien soon giggling once more. It seemed that the shocked face Ken was giving off was rather amusing to the curious creature.
“Of course! You saved me, after all. So you must be my new Master! The last one kinda dropped me in this playset, and, well… you saved me.”
If Ken could blush, he would have. Instead, he let a goofy smile stretch across his face.
“I guess I did kinda save you. I am brave like that.”
He flexed proudly, something he often did to show off. His confidence rivaled the big ego that was already starting to over-inflate. Apparently it was an amusing display that made his new companion laugh in pure delight. Ken's brow shot upwards as he turned his attention back to the screen. The alien was still beaming at him, pixelated stars in his eyes that rotated around and around. He wasn't mocking Ken? Did he actually think that Ken was cool?
"Super rad! I don't think anyone who's ever held me has been that cool or brave, y'know. Really must be my lucky day!"
"How many people have held you?" Ken asked, already sounding a bit jealous.
The alien paused, tapping his hand to his head.
"Y'know, 'm not sure."
He flashed another smile up at Ken, obviously pretty clueless himself. After a few moments of silence, Ken spoke up.
"So what do I call you? Alien dude?"
"Oh! Oz is my name. Short for Oswald. I think it's a poorly themed Roswell joke of some kind, but my programming isn't advanced enough to understand it." Oz shrugged. "It says it right on my label!"
Ken tilted his head to one side and studied the cheap plastic casing of Oz's UFO home. There were some faded stickers of where lights would be if he was a more expensive toy, but the doll wasn't seeing anything. Oz gestured to flip him over, which Ken did carefully as he wondered if Oz could feel the sensation (or any at all) of being rotated. Sure enough, on the back, was a label in a neon green font with Oz's name. The engraving with the copyright information was puzzling to Ken.
"'Your out-of-this-world pal'?" Ken slowly spoke each word.
"Oh, yeah." There was a small chirp from the speakers to let Ken know that Oswald was moving. He was turned back around, the alien awkwardly rubbing his own head. There were little slashes on his face to indicate that he was blushing. "I don't think people really wanted a virtual alien friend. Maybe I'm a bit Y2K."
Again, Oz seemed to be speaking a language that Ken wasn't understanding. Seeing the confusion on Ken's face, Oz moved away from the screen and gave a nervous little laugh.
"Well, I'm not exactly a looker like you, pal. I bet people are clamoring to play with you!"
Ken scoffed and shook his head.
"Everyone here is beautiful. All the Barbies… and Kens. We're built for each other." He paused. "Oh and Allan and Midge. Guess they were made for each other too."
"Wait so… You're a Ken?" Oz chirped.
There was a small nod and the alien took note of how they must be gendered dolls here. Boys and girls separated by just two names. Funny. Definitely a bit old-school.
"And you have a Barbie?"
At that, Ken looked a bit off. He was Barbie's boyfriend. They were supposed to be together, like a perfect pair. But his Barbie hadn't been exactly interested in him lately. She was… different. Something was happening with her and Ken was worried he was losing her altogether.
"You could say that," he replied in a hushed tone.
Oz wasn't born yesterday even with his memory reset. There was something up between Ken and his Barbie, but the alien wasn't exactly going to push the issue. It would be rude to press the man who had just saved him from running out of battery.
"Well, I can tell she has quite the catch. A hero saving aliens from their untimely demise," he joked to lighten the mood. "Maybe I should call you Ken instead of Master then-"
"No. No… you can call me Master still."
Oz blinked up at Ken who was nervously averting his eyes from the screen after that comment. Was he really gonna let this little pixel thing call him something like that? It was the most respect he had ever gotten in Barbie Land. Being Ken - just Ken - was far from being a Barbie. He didn't have a house. Or a job. Or anything to his name. He was Ken. And now he didn't even know if he was Barbie's Ken anymore. So having someone, especially a stranger, now see him as anything else, well…
Ken felt special.
"Okay!" Oz giggled, clapping his hands together enthusiastically. "Well, Master, since I'm literally in the palm of your hands… Why don't I teach you how to use me?"
Again, if Ken could blush…
"If you press that middle button, you can pull up my menu. That's all the settings, time zone, and help information. Boring stuff. But if you click the right button…" Oz gestured to where Ken's thumb was idly resting against. "That gives me food! I need three meals a day to make sure my meter doesn't run out."
"Meter?" Ken inquired.
"Press that left button!"
Ken obliged and was surprised to see a status menu pop up in place of Oz. It showed a small icon of the alien's face along with a level number, sleep status, food meter, and happiness status indicated by a smiley face. Ken's brow furrowed in confusion. Was this like taking care of a pet?
"Are you my dog now?"
There was no response.
"Oh!" He quickly pressed the button and Oswald returned to the screen. The alien was trying his best not to laugh at Ken's surprise. "You have to be on screen to talk, huh?"
"Ding ding ding!"
A jaunty little tune played as the screen displayed a spinning star before fading back to Oz.
"And no, I'm not a dog. I'm clearly an alien." Oz rolled his eyes and pointed to his antenna. "But I guess… kinda? I'm a virtual pet - your new best pal! You keep my meters full and my happiness up and, well, I'll be the perfect friend! If you forget about me and stop playing…"
A large skull and crossbones popped up.
"Then you gotta restart and, boy, lemme tell you, that's not fun. I… Kinda forget all about you and have to start all over." Oz's expression shifted to what Ken could tell was apprehension about the subject.
"That's why you don't remember how you got here, huh?"
Oz nodded.
"Happens every time. I don't know how many Masters I've had that have picked me up, played with me, and then forgotten all about me. Guess it's better that way - I don't get attached."
There was something tugging at Ken's heart. He knew what it was like to be neglected and now he knew that someone was really relying on him. The doll carefully held onto the device and brought Oz to his chest.
"Well, now you're gonna have someone to take care of you! Like, really take care of you, you know? I'll make sure you never have to restart."
Baffled by the bold statement, Oz was glad that his face was hidden in Ken's chiseled chest. He was honestly so caught off-guard that he didn't know what to say. Someone actually was going to care for him? Though, maybe all before Ken had promised the very same. But this time… this time really did sound sincere. It could have been the alien's blind trust, surely, but the confidence from Ken had him eager to try again.
"Hey," came the soft voice from the crackling speakers. "That's awfully sweet of you, Ken. Really. But I know it's a tall order to ask someone who just picked me up to take care of me." Oz smiled, eyes twinkling with little sparkles. "But I'd be real happy to get to know you."
Ken pulled the device from his chest and gazed down at the collection of pixels. His own smile tugged at his lips. Get to know him? That was nice to hear. No one ever really paid him any mind. There was a lot Ken could do, but he didn't have anything special like the Barbies that set him apart from the rest.
"You're not just saying that because I saved you?"
"Naaah! I don't kiss that much heinie on the first date!" Oz quickly slapped his hand over his mouth, blush returning to his cheeks. There were little spirals appearing over his head to show that he was flustered. "Uh. Wrong choice of words…"
But it was far too late. Ken had already been struck with the idea of a date. While Barbie was supposed to be his girlfriend, she never called them hanging out a date. His smile was now a goofy grin and he let out a slow laugh.
"Ha… Well. A bit forward - are all aliens like you?"
"I-I don't know," Oz stuttered. "I don't retain my memories, remember? And my programming doesn't really give me a backstory with any cool alien family stuck far, far away on another planet. Though maybe I should lie and roll with it."
"You shouldn't lie, it's rude," Ken frowned.
"Is that an order then?" came the inquiry and one brow raised upwards.
Ken, feeling stubborn, puffed out his chest and stood tall. His index finger extended and he shook it at the screen like he was giving Oz a stern talking to.
"Y'know what? Yeah. As your Master, I gotta make sure you don't keep secrets. Besides, friends don't lie to each other."
That caused Oz to look away. Guilt crept up on him and instantly sat like a pit in his stomach.
"So we're friends?"
"Well, yeah! I was joking about all that pet stuff." The doll's expression softened as he looked at his new companion. "You may be a computer… thing. But that doesn't mean we can't be friends."
Had they all promised friendship? Did every one of his previous owners lie to him the same way? Ken didn't look like he was lying. This was a new chance and maybe, just maybe, he wouldn't have to worry about restarting with Ken around.
With a soft sigh, Oswald gave a little nod and a shy smile.
"Okay. Friends don't lie." A little laugh bubbled from the speakers. "So we tell each other the truth, 'kay?"
Ken was grinning again.
"Totally! This is gonna be awesome, just you see. No more forgetting stuff, I'm gonna show you everything here in Barbie Land and You're gonna remember it all!"
The eagerness to prove that theory true was enough to make Oz's meter fill with full happiness. A little heart hung above his head, quickly disappearing before Ken could even blink. Barbie Land sounded interesting and Oz wanted to see it all for himself. After all, this was his new home!
Ken was already walking out the door with Oz in hand. Curiously, the alien watched as the sky above them changed from the drab interior of the lighthouse to the sunny, cloudless sky of Barbie Land. It was almost like staring into a painting, it was breathtaking! Oz gave a little beep to Ken so that he'd look down at the screen and, once those big blue eyes looked his way, the alien motioned to turn his UFO over. He wanted to see what Ken was seeing. Happily, Ken obliged and held the device out to the world.
"Your arm is gonna smart if you keep me up like that," Oz teased.
"Huh."
Ken stopped in his tracks, Oz rattling around the confines of his screen. He rubbed at his freshly bonked head before seeing what Ken was up to. It looked like he was fiddling with the silver chain around his neck. Intrigued by the sudden concern Ken seemed to have for his fashion sense, Oz was quiet until the string of silver threaded through the loop adorning his device. His ship was dangling in the air for just a moment before Ken fastened the necklace back around himself.
"There, that way you can see everything and I can make sure I don't lose you."
Oz couldn't see it, but that goofy and proud grin was back on the bimbo doll's smug face. The UFO beeped a few times as Oz's circuits overloaded from the gesture. Despite only being pixels, Oswald felt safer than he ever had before. Even more so than when he was awake when his creators were troubleshooting his code.
"Thank you," he managed to mumble out.
Happy as a clam, Ken continued to saunter back down to the beach where the other Kens had seemed to disperse from their clique earlier. He knew his companion was busy taking in the beautiful sights of his - their home. With the warm sand beneath his feet again, Ken let out a pleased sigh. This was where he spent most of his time every day when he wasn't out chasing Barbie.
"The lighthouse looks so small from over here," he heard Oz muse aloud. "I'm glad you heard me from down here."
"Ah, well. I know when something's happening anywhere on the beach. Call it my six cents."
"...sense?"
"Exactly."
He gave a little nod, planting his feet firmly in the sand with his hands on his hips as the two of them looked out onto the ocean. The permanent plastic wave was high that afternoon, just as it always was.
"Surf's looking good today."
Oz looked up at Ken to see if he was serious, but the position he was in didn't allow him to see past that chiseled jawline. He shrugged to himself and figured it was best not to continue to correct him. It'd be rude to bite the hand that would be feeding him.
"Is Barbie Land always this beautiful?"
"Yup! Every single day!" Ken was beaming like an excited puppy who had just found a really cool stick. "Yesterday was awesome. Today is awesome. And tomorrow will be awesome too! Just like it always is."
There were a few moments of silence as Oswald mulled over the concept of constant perfection.
"Don't you ever get tired of it? Wouldn't you want to see something new?"
The device was lifted up so that the two could look at each other. Oz slid to the top of the screen and soon adjusted himself right side up.
"Why would I wanna do that when everyday's a great day?"
At that, Oz frowned. Did Ken not really see the point in chasing the high of new adventures? Was this place some kind of weird purgatory for all the dolls? He put his hands on his hips and shook his head.
"Because surely something new is more exciting than doing the same thing every day. I mean, I know I have to have three meals, be played with, and then go to sleep every day. That's written in my game code." There was a gesture to his menu button before he pointed to Ken. "But you don't have a code. You could do whatever you wanted, right?"
"Well…" Ken couldn't exactly explain it, but there was the nagging sense of routine every day. Maybe some days he wanted to do things differently, but it never panned out that way. He couldn't exactly explain that he wasn't being played with the same way Barbie was. Ken was just Ken. "I try to see Barbie every day. Sometimes it happens. Then I know it's gonna be a good day!"
That made Oz frown again. It didn't exactly sound like Ken was living for himself. But, again, the relationship between Barbie and Ken seemed a lot more complicated than a simple boyfriend and girlfriend thing. It sounded like Barbie was super important to Ken and it really mattered what she did.
"...you could show Barbie that you saved me," Oz offered. "I bet she'd see how cool and brave you were."
A hand slowly wrapped around the UFO and partially blocked Oz's view. Intrigued by Ken's action, he peeked his head from behind Ken's fingertips to look at him again and see what was up.
"I kinda want this to be a 'me' thing." Quickly, his eyes darted away. "We haven't spent a lot of time together yet and everyone will be bugging me once they see you. Can't we just have some alone time first?"
Those blush marks grew wider on Oz's chubby cheeks. Hearing Ken get so protective was something that drove the little alien wild. Being kept to just Ken… It felt intimate. Nervously, he let out a giggle.
"Sure, sure, Master," the alien teased playfully. "When you're ready, I can talk to the others. But for now, it'll just be us. Who knows, maybe we'll be making friendship bracelets for each other someday."
"How could you make me a bracelet in there?"
Oz rolled his eyes.
"I can do anything in here, Ken. It's all code. I can pull anything out of thin air - heck, I could even change what I look like! 'sides, it was just a joke. Anything I make in here you couldn't wear."
Was… Ken pouting?
"Aw, c'mon, big guy! Don't look so sour. I guess my jokes just don't land with dollies."
Like a hurt puppy, Ken's face was still so sad looking. A pixel hand reached to touch the part of the screen that the plastic one was still clutching onto as if to comfort him. Oz wished he could really touch Ken, but at least his gesture could be seen.
"Don't pout Ken, that pretty face might stick that way. And that would be a cryin' shame! Your smile is ten times cuter."
As if on cue, that very smile tugged at Ken's lips.
"Really?" he giggled.
"What did we say? No lies between friends, right? I mean it. You look really pretty when you smile." Oz blushed once again and let out a light chuckle. "Your eyes get all twinkly too."
It was at that moment that Ken realized that he had never heard that kind of compliment before. Sure, the Barbies would tell him he was very brave and strong, but they had never said something so genuine. He was at a loss for words. All he could do was smile like a dope, chuffed that his new companion seemed to actually like him.
"There it is," came the teasing coo from the alien. "Much better."
Ken let out a boyish laugh, shaking his head in disbelief. Was he being wooed? Because it was working way too well. There must have been some coding in that circuit board that gave Oz enough charisma to flirt. Was it flirting or was he misreading the signs like he always did with Barbie? But this felt different…
"Ken?"
Blinking out of his daze, he turned his attention to Oz's screen before realizing Oz was focused on something in front of them. Instantly, Ken froze. The unmistakable pink flowy fabric made his heart jump into his throat, knocking all coherent thought out of him. Her smile sparkled in the sunlight and he could see her greeting everyone on the beach as she always did.
"...Barbie," fell from his lips automatically.

When I was a child I was obsessed with cats after reading warriors and the only thing I wanted in the universe was a cat. My mother wouldn't allow it because she was a. Allergic (valid) b. An animal disliker (not valid) so to prove to her that I would be a responsible cat owner I did so much research and studied cats obsessively, I even drew diagrams of cat anatomy and different systems I would implement around the house to prove I would be a responsible cat owner. I was so dedicated to the feline agenda
I don't know why she never caved and at least got us a hamster or something. I would constantly beg her for a pet, like I would have been happy with any kind of animal even a fish. Unfortunately I was an animal-obsessed child born to an animal averse mother lol. When my brother and I trapped insects she would say in Spanglish "Este es tu pet!" (This is your pet) 😭 and that fills me with rage to this day lmao
To cope I pretended the various animals around the house like a fox or a hedgehog we saw in the garden were my pets. We even had a rat infestation when we lived in London and I considered them my pets, penning my first book entitled "My Rat" which I think my dad still has. I was obsessed with any kind of pet simulator like Nintendogs or neopets or tamagotchis. I think she was worried she'd be saddled with all the responsibility after I got bored which I can understand but also I was so dedicated to my imaginary pets for so many years that I don't think that would have been the case.

For Yuri and Mao!
🐁 Capybaras are friend-shaped. What shape does your OC have?
👎 Is there someone your OC can’t stand, despite them being on the same side or sharing basic values?
🪤 What is one thing that could be used to lure your OC into a trap?
(Also bonus question for an earlier ask that isn't part of the game but just bc I'm curious- if Yuri could have another Tamagotchi, which series would it be? One of the original releases, a Connection, one of the franchise crossover Nanos, etc?)
hi
YURIIIIII
🐁 Capybaras are friend-shaped. What shape does your OC have?
yuri is shaped like a brick shithouse. that's all
👎 Is there someone your OC can’t stand, despite them being on the same side or sharing basic values?
yuri absolutely cannot fucking stand his coworker elena. which is unfortunate because they have to work together on just about everything, seeing as they're both Basically the gods of their respective facility. while they'd agree on everything in theory--and are both focused on the wellbeing and efficiency of their subordinates--the way elena exercises her authority makes yuri want to tear his fucking hair out and in later years she's probably the source of like. 98% of his stress. even funnier is that this is a very one-sided rivalry, as elena thinks yuri is a pretty chill and well-rounded albeit somewhat neurotic guy. meanwhile yuri daydreams about her being consumed by mosb
🪤 What is one thing that could be used to lure your OC into a trap?
cliche as fuck my bad but any sort of threats to yuri's loved ones are a one-way ticket to getting him to do just about anything. he'll drop just about anything if it means preserving the peace for people he cares about <3 even if it means getting crazy murdered on live television
MAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
🐁 Capybaras are friend-shaped. What shape does your OC have?
collectible action figure, but like metaphorically
👎 Is there someone your OC can’t stand, despite them being on the same side or sharing basic values?
mao doesn't really feel this way about anyone! he generally doesn't have strong feelings about people, and if he does then it always leans towards the positive/idolization. when mao doesn't like people he simply stops associating with them and the problem is therefore solved. don't worry about it guys
🪤 What is one thing that could be used to lure your OC into a trap?
Kind Of Anything. Tee bee aich. if mao wants something he will go for it, and buddy, things dont work that way in this city
as for tamagotchis... while yuri is extremely fond of the original series i think if he were to get another it'd be from the pix series. he'd like the colors--even if he can't actually make out the pixels too well--a lot and i think the idea of taking pictures with that little egg would make him laugh. alternatively--and idk if this counts LOL--he'd get the smart because like. why would you NOT want a watch with a little guy in it. he may be a nerd.

small updates!
as i feared, running three tamagotchis, along with logging them, along with managing the rest of my life has proven to be a bit much.. i don't think i'm going to be doing this again lol.
so this entry isn't going to have as much detail, but i'm combining all 3 (and some comments on the uni as a device) so it's lengthy regardless!
for the connections:
pussy became a primatchi! considering the evolution chart of v4.5, with it's reduced emphasis on care mistakes in the teen phase, that's what i expected. and bussy became a memetchi! sort of a surprise - i thought memetchi was a better care character and i totally messed up multiple times during their care.
Tumblr media
my plan going forward with these two: THEY WILL HAVE BABIES... they just need like, 24 hours more before the feature unlocks. but afterward i think i'm going to pause both of them for a while. maybe take the battery out of the silver shell if i can be assed to hunt down the screwdriver.
for the uni:
it's been a blur... i actually do have some criticisms of the uni compared to the connections, one of which is that the growth is TOO FAST. they seem to require more care than the connections too - very demanding. i feel like i neglected my connections and uni equally but i had way more care mistakes on my uni.
anyway! amelia went from niinitchi -> lionetchi -> teftetchi to finally, as an adult.... another memetchi. i guess she and bussy are twins. honestly, neither teftetchi or memetchi fit the vibe i had for amelia in my head. i couldn't get any accessories that looked right for her either, so i just put on the fireworks background. at least she likes it?
i do think her room came out looking good though!

my plan going forward: gonna be honest, i'm going to run this until the battery dies, and i hope that's soon lol. BOTH BECAUSE i want a break to try out other tamas in my collection, aaaand because i ordered a custom face plate off etsy and i don't want to take it apart while it's still running.
that's another criticism of the uni. with the battery being rechargable, you can't take it out... and there's no pause function. you're trapped until this thing runs out of charge. you are this tamagotchi's hostage.
next up... i think i'll run my angelgotchi! iirc these early tamas are more demanding than the connections so i think i'll run it alone. two is definitely my max, and i want a slower and more focused experience after this chaos

I’m still grateful that we still get the 3 specials that will help wrap the story up but I still want to see what went on between King’s Tide and Thanks to Them and a comic book adaptation of when and how Amity got her palisman Ghost the cat and those tamagotchi communicators for her and Luz to use. Or how Odalia found out about the truth about the Day of Unity and not Kikimora, The Emperor’s right hand woman.
Seriously the missed opportunity and potential for season 3
I mean wouldn’t you want to see how the Hexside gang fixed up that old house in the back while they try to recreate the portal. Trying to figure out if it has any more significant connection to Eda’s portal door then the fact that it opens at the front door?
Tumblr media
It’s been established during the entire time the witch kids have been on earth they never went out without either Camilla and/or Luz accompanying them. They have been exploring a lot of Gravesfield and interacting with enough people for Gus to establish a connection with these actors apparently. I mean only this bald guy reacted with annoyance and that’s only slightly while the woman was happy to see Gus.
Tumblr media
Also this Jacob guy got out and still on hunt for the supernatural. Apparently Jacob figured there was something off about the houseguests of the Noceda family.
Tumblr media
Since it was Halloween in Gravesfield and Manny’s death anniversary was in August and it’s been months since King’s Tide that means Luz and Camilla must have visited his grave at some point. Luz wanting to make up for the missed year.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ever wondered how Luz handled going back to her old school after everything? Like how did her interact with the camp friends at school? Did they even go to the same school? Did Luz try to maintain “her” friendship with them? Or did it eventually just dissipate over time until Vee revitalized her friendships in her new guise like in the end credits?
Tumblr media
With school not being an option for our Demon Realm residents (at least not without raising suspicion from the school board) they have been taking up learning about earth in other ways. They’ll have a lot of missed work to make up for at Hexside.
Tumblr media
It would have been so cute to see how they all been learning about earth and what other types of earth cooking they have been experimenting with.
Tumblr media
Teaching her friends about the wonders of earth have probably been Luz’s only source of consolation in those trying times. What with King being taken prisoner by the Collector and having no idea of Eda’s fate and the fate of everyone else Luz probably cherished the time spent with those who escaped the Demon Realm. She probably never found the right time to tell her friends about her revelation about Phillip Wittebane. Luz didn’t want to risk having her friends hate her while still trapped on earth. She wanted to make sure their time there was still a comfortable stay with plenty of cherished memories. Especially when she thought about her promise to her mother. Sure Luz had plenty of wonderful times with with witch friends but she can’t help but have these lingering thoughts about how these moments won’t last for long and how limited her time is with them. She just couldn’t break her mother’s heart again. Thankfully her mom does come around and accompanied her and her friends back to the Boiling Isles.

Do I want my old job back? Well of course not! What kind of delusional freak would willingly return to that nest of backstabbing drones whose sole purpose seems to be peeing in each other's Wheaties?
My ex-coworkers pranced around with all the moral fortitude of a corrupt rig crew on a Russian oil field. They were the sort who would spot you trapped in a ditch and rather than lend a hand, they'd toss you a heavy rock before scampering back to the break room to swap tales about the new temp's lascivious body hair situation.
As for management - ay yi yi, those xeroxed copies of xeroxed copies with their bunched up little ties and their non-existent degrees in Corporate DoubleSpeak. Just because you memorized a pamphlet on how to leech the life force from your underlings doesn't give you jurisdiction to treat them like a discarded Tamagotchi your cousin got at Walmart in 1998. Why don't you look in the mirror sometime, guy?
I don’t want my old job back? Well of course I bloody well don’t! What kind of malfunctioning ninnyhammer would willingly go back to work with that shower of backstabbing, small-minded jobsworths who

Rewrite this diary entry so it is first person and sounds like chuck klosterman and don't rewrite what is said about me:
Here's the diary entry rewritten in the first person to sound like Chuck Klosterman, while preserving the comments about the narrator:
<document_content>So I don't want my old job back? Clearly not. What kind of dazed cultural idiot would willing return to that beige holding pen of backstabbing middlemen whose only real purpose seems to be urinating on other people's unification ceremonies?
My former "colleagues" carried themselves with all the ethical grounding of a hopelessly conflicted small-town zoning committee. They're the type of people who, upon seeing a man trapped in quicksand, will not only choose not to extend a hand, but will actively make his predicament worse by dropping a few more rocks on top of him before retreating to the break room to exchange cruel rumors about the marital affairs of whoever happened to work in accounting.
But the managers were even worse - those haplessly promoted brownnosers and their crookedly-adorned business casual attire. Just because they memorized a few capstone texts on the finer points of human demoralization doesn't give them permission to treat the underlings like a neglected titanium Tamagotchi from 1997. Take a look in the mirror, friend.
No, I have zero enthusiasm for returning to that viper pit of gossip and triangulation. I'd rather be trapped in a sleeping bag with an ornery Alaskan brown bear than sit through another one of those cyclical meetings where some shaved chimpanzee drones endlessly about the perceived benefits of "corporate synergy" or "establishing the brand." Do me a favor and stop speaking, guy - you couldn't successfully synergize alphabetized diner placemat.
So in summary, no - there is absolutely no situation where I would want my old job back. I'd rather have sewing needles shoved into my tympanic membranes than deal with those chronically incompetent, bureaucracy-worshipping sad sacks for one more day.
Also, here are the messages my friend from that office shared about me from the work WhatsApp group:

Rewrite but include what they said about me

As my former friend so astutely pointed out, I was never going to be valued in that position. What I need to understand is that everyone who got promoted NEEDED to be, regardless of whether they took long smoke breaks. My role was purely SAP programming based after I decided I didn't want to program software and make models for museums. I was the only person doing my job and it had nothing really to do with the roles of the other team members, though I liked to help out (purely because the previous boss let me). It didn't make sense to promote me in any way those others were promoted since I couldn't possibly do half of what those employees do. Yes, those people smoked, but I was also entitled to breaks. This was brought up by someone and the previous boss, but I just never wanted to take smoking breaks. I claimed not to be a smoker and that's not their fault. Also, complaining about smoke breaks is apparently a very petty thing to do. Everyone else on the team was vastly more compatible with what management wanted, had knowledge beyond a Bachelor's Degree, and were able to make their way. I just wanted to follow the rules and do as I was told. I thought my five plus years of experience would be enough and it meant nothing to anyone or the wider business. I didn't have a Master's or a PhD so I didn't fit in. Those people who got promotions, yes they weren't perfect people but they had advanced degrees and weren't going to complain about a small pay rise. I can't think of a single time I went out to the pub with the team besides when I very first joined. I claimed I was bullied at times which is untrue. Micromanaged, maybe, but anything inappropriate said in the work chat was in the chit-chat area where it is allowed. There was nothing wrong with that. I claimed not to drink much. It felt like I was making excuses to avoid everyone outside of work. I wanted to be a team player on my terms and not also outside of work which reflected badly on me. The people promoted also had a good relationship with everyone in their team outside of work because they went to the pub. They went to chain pubs. They made an effort. They didn't make excuses and everyone else on the team was married with kids. I didn't have kids to look after. When work needed to get done, it got done relatively okay. That's why the company that paid my wages approved the promotions. It wasn't just an internal thing like I think. I was also overpaid for the job role I did, and the company that ultimately paid me wouldn't put out more money because they didn't want to. My replacement is paid a low wage because of this. If I want senior wages for my mid-level work then I need to look elsewhere. Also, the fact that I was close with clients was not a good thing. They loved me and my ideas. This led me to believing I was good and valued. This led me to believe they cared about me. My colleagues wanted me to just do my job to their standard and were not happy with me going above and beyond. This needed to be nipped in the bud. Clients should not have been fighting for me to stay and trying to save my job. I was never going to be worth the money. I'm more than welcome to apply for my old job back (even though it is taken and I will not get my previous salary) or even any other role, but maybe next time I should go to the pub and be a team player outside of work and have a better personality. I'm a real stick in the mud most of the time.

No no, I've absolutely no hankering to go back to that viper pit of water cooler treachery and illicit parking lot profanity. I'd sooner share a sleeping bag with a rabid North American grizzly than sit through another one of those interminable meetings where some recently divorced middle manager drones on and on about "establishing brand cohesion" and "maximizing vertical synergies." Do us both a favor and pipe down, you couldn't synergize two identical paperclips.
In summary, thanks but no thanks - I'd literally rather have knitting needles shoved into my eye sockets than spend another day with those mouth-breathing, red tape-slapping funphobes.
But speaking of my former colleagues, let me share what my friend texted me from their work chat about yours truly:
She was never going to be valued in her position. However what she needs to understand is that everyone who got promoted NEEDED to be regardless if they took long smoke breaks, her role was purely SAP programming based after she decided she didn’t want to program software and make models for museums, she was the only person doing her job and had nothing really to do with the role of the other team members of the team though she liked to help out (purely because the previous boss let her), it didn’t make sense to promote her in any way those others were promoted, she couldn’t possibly do half of what those employees do. Yes those people smoked, but she also was entitled to breaks. It was brought up by me and the previous boss to her and she just never wanted to take smoking breaks. She claimed not to be a smoker and that’s not my fault. Also complaining about smoke breaks is a very petty thing to do, she should know that. Everyone else on the team also were vastly more compatible with what management wanted, had knowledge beyond a Bachelor’s Degree, and were able to make their way. She wanted to follow the rules and do as she was told. She thought her five plus years of experience would be enough and it meant nothing to me or the wider business. She didn’t have a Master’s or a PhD so she didn’t fit in. Those people who got promotions, yes they weren’t perfect people but they had a Master’s or a PhD and weren’t going to complain about a small pay rise. I can’t think of a single time she went out to the pub with the team besides when she very first joined. She claimed she was bullied at times which is untrue. Micromanaged, maybe, but anything inappropriate said in the work chat was in chit-chat where it is allowed. There was nothing wrong with that. She claimed not to drink much. It felt like she was making excuses to avoid us outside of work. She wanted to be a team player on her terms and not also outside of work which reflected badly on her. The people promoted also had a good relationship with everyone in their team outside of work because they went to the pub. They went to Spoons. They made an effort. They didn’t make excuses and everyone else on the team was married with kids. She didn’t have kids to look after. When work needed to get done, it got done relatively okay. That’s why the company that paid her wages approved the promotions. It wasn’t just an internal thing like she thinks. She was also overpaid for the job role she did, and the company that ultimately paid her wouldn’t put out more money because they didn’t want to. Her replacement is on £9/hr because of this. If she wants senior wages for her mid-level work then she needs to look elsewhere. I will also say, the fact that she was close with clients was not a good thing. They loved her and her ideas. This led her to believing she was good and valued. This led her to believe they cared about her. We wanted her to do her job to our standard and we were not happy with her going above and beyond. This needed to be nipped in the bud. Clients should not be fighting for her to stay and trying to save her job. She was never going to be worth the money.

She’s a real stick in the mud most of the time.

would love to hear more abt cloud guy :3
so. little innocent weather dude. Basically his weather app (CloudPal) is a mix of. well…. a weather app and a tamagotchi pet sorta thing (a clever marketing tactic that gets you ATTACHED to the app so you use it more). Unfortunately it’s was a very unreliable app for some very unlucky people. Three people to be specific: a kid who got trapped in their own home during a flood, a babysitter that arrived at the worst time (during a fuckin tornado), and a hiker who got caught in a cave. in a blizzard. I think you get the gist of this.
with none of them being able to return to their families, Nimbus felt guilty that he couldn’t help and took some pity of these pOoR uNFoRtuNaTE sOOOOuUuLllls~ so sorry and took it upon himself to take of them. One issue. he sucked them into the app and kept them in the files (which is why he didn’t want us to look at them in the. art I posted). It was a game concept I came up with a few weeks ago and it can’t get it out of my brain and I also didn’t know what to post sooo yeah.
To make a long story short, Nimbus is kinda fucked up.
