probably didn't realize she liked you until someone (rarity) told her

"what? no way, i don't like-" and then the "HOLY SHIT I DO LIKE HER!"

she was the last to know

rainbow and rarity have to give her advice on asking you out (rarity's is serious and helpful, dash's is just "ask her out dumbass")

probably asked you out with flowers.

"so uh– i was wondering' if you'd, uh, y'know, wanna go out with me sometime? it's fine if not– y'know what, nevermind its stupi–"

she's so nervous!!!

anyways onto the actual dating hcs

she was the one to say i love you first

you guys were probably taking a walk or something and you were talking and she'll like smile at you really lovingly and go "i love you, y'know"

calls you really cheesy nicknames — sugar, sugar cube, pretty girl, my girl, princess, angel, darlin', missy, sweetheart, sweet pea, honey, etc etc

would take you on the cutest dates!!!

sunsets, picnics, apple picking (duh), late night drives

if u like shopping then she's def the kind of girl who'll hold all your bags

she'll also walk you to all your classes / walk you home

also!!! kind of gf who won't leave u alone in public. like if you guys go out she WILL stay with you at all times cause yk 😕

she's such a sweetheart

will open doors for you and get offended if you try to do ANYTHING yourself

SHE WAS RAISED RIGHT 🗣

can and will give you her clothes to wear. PLEAAASE wear her flannels/shirts around her she will lose her mind

"well, darlin', don't you look nice?" whenever u get dressed up

she either gets flustered really easily or she doesnt

pls imagine her in like. a white tank and jeans and cowboy boots

1 million dead 4923 injured

her voice in the morning >>>>>

it has a little rasp and her accent is like ten times thicker and just ugh

she's jacked btw. apple jacked.

she grew up up a farm like what'd u expect

anyways imagine needing to get smth off a shelf or something and she just comes up behind you and reaches to grab the thing and her arms ohmygod

love languages are definitely acts of service & quality time

CONSTANTLY doing little things for you

holding open the door, getting you flowers every week, randomly cleaning your room when she's at your house, filling up ur drink, ordering for you, etc

such a "my girl" kind of gf

"attagirl" "my girl" "pretty girl" "sweet girl"

randomly gives u compliments

also!! i don't see her as the kind of gf who comments under ur insta posts but she's def the kind who'll post them on her story

she's not a very social media person in general, but any post she does make is probably of you

would def write you a sappy letter on your anniversary/valentines/christmas/new years/your birthday

basically any chance she gets she'll write u a long, sappy letter telling you how much she appreciates you and loves you and yap yap yap

i don't see her as a person who wears much jewelry, but i can definitely see her having a locket with your picture in it, or some kind of matching bracelet

randomly starts yapping about you to the girls

"she's so sweet and i love her an–" "SHUT UP WE GET IT." "dang okay"

they're your biggest fans!!!

pinkie probably made a fan account on insta thats just her posting cute pictures of you guys

rarity helps applejack plan dates and shit

dash playfully flirts with you any chance she gets because she finds it hilarious when aj glares at her

speaking of that, i can't see her being someone who gets jealous super super easily?

like, i can definitely see her sidling up beside you, putting an arm around your waist, and glaring at the person who's flirting with you

"who's this, darlin'?"

she has an rbf so if you're really sunshine-y you guys look ridiculous tg

scary guard dog gf!!!!

such an early riser but if you ask her to stay in bed with you she'll be so dramatic about it (she'll sigh and be like "alright, alright, but just this once" <- its happened multiple times)

apple bloom adores you!!! she'll randomly barge into aj's room to talk to you (aj thinks its cute how much she likes you but she does NOT appreciate her sister's interruption)

100% your biggest supporter

if you do theatre or choir or orchestra, she'll show up to EVERY. SINGLE. PERFORMANCE. you will ever have

if you do sports, trust she'll be at all your games yelling her head off and holding a big ass sign

she's really good at cooking so she'll learn how to make your favorite dishes!!! this also means you guys have cute little dinners at home a lot <3

Time Knows No Bounds - Part Three

Warnings: None that need apology

Info: When the font is like this, it means Ragnar is speaking in his native tongue. When he is speaking English it will just be italicized. The reader's text is just normal and anyone other than Ragnar or the reader will be in bold.

Spoilers: None, because this is completely my creation (apart from the character/legend of Ragnar Lothbrok and other historical names) it has nothing to really do with the tv series.

Plot: Ragnar, in this series, is unattached to anyone romantically. No Lagertha or Aslaug or any other baby momma's out there. No children. He has met and learned with Athelstan, because that contributes to his ability to speak with the reader. Other than that, he's just a simple gorgeous viking that lives on his farm in Kattegat, dreaming of adventure.

Summary: This part will be written in Ragnar's POV and it will pick up where the last part left off. It will be written in the way of "Ragnar reached for..." and the "he/she/him/her" sort of fashion because it is the only way that will process in my brain right now.

------

"Well...home sweet home."

Y/N said as she dropped the bags she had in her hands to the floor. Ragnar gently sat down his own bags that he had been holding as his blue eyes scanned the room around him. If this was a house, it was quite the house. Back where he was from, his own home was merely a small cottage that was made up of one big room, and when he wished for privacy (which he rarely did), he would simply construct a makeshift wall that stood up and created whatever privacy he needed. He took a step forward, taking everything in as he did. No hearth in the center of the floor like what he was used to. He noted the sunlight coming in through the window but when he went over to it, he noticed that there was a see through barrier keeping the outside separated from the inside. He assumed this was what Athelstan called 'glass', but it was clear as can be and not at all as he had described it. Ragnar suddenly caught of whiff of what he could tell were flowers, but as he looked around, he saw none. "How does it smell like flowers, but there are none here?" he asked as he continued to walk around. "Oh, because of this." He watched as she went over to the wall and took a small white...thing out of something else that was white, but also flat with three holes in it. She held it up and he walked over to it, reaching up to touch it and then noticed that the top of it was where he could smell the scent of flowers, yet at the bottom there was a clear orb that held some sort of liquid in it. "It's called a Wall Flower. Uses oils to produce scent to make the house smell nice." Ragnar looked at it more closely and then moved away again, continuing around the room. "Huh." He had to admit that the smell of flowers within a house was much more pleasant than the smell of smoke from the hearth.

He watched as Y/N moved around the room, heading into a different area that was white and had a bunch of shiny blocks of various sizes. Ragnar followed her over to the largest of the shiny blocks and opened it up realizing now that it was made up of two doors. He tilted his head to the side as she leaned in and then came back out and handed him something, it held water and it was clear but he was not sure what it was or what it was called. "Bottled water, figured you might be thirsty?" she said, still holding it out to him. Ragnar reached for it and took it in his hand, raising his eyebrow at it. He then brought it closer to his face as if trying to figure out how to get the water out. "Twist the top." she said as she brought her own bottle up to her perfect lips. He stared at her lips for a moment before he then looked down at the bottle in his hands and then brought up his other hand to the top and began to unscrew it. As he did, he did not realize that the pressure that he was holding the bottle with in his other hand would be enough to cause water to shoot up at him, but that was exactly what happened. Ragnar sputtered as the ice cold water shot up into his face and soaked his beard, running down onto his tunic. He stood there with his arms outstretched, his left hand holding the bottle as the right held the circle that had been on top keeping the water in. Y/N let out a snort and a laugh, almost choking on her own water. She went over to a drawer and pulled it open, bringing out what appeared to be a cloth of some kind and she came forward and handed it to him. "Sorry, I should have been more explanatory. Gotta be gentle when you twist it." she said with a wink before walking away. He took the cloth from her, later finding out it was called a towel, and then brought it up to his face, but not before letting his eyes roam down her body as she turned her back to him and went back to the large metal block with doors.

He then brought the towel up to his face and proceeded to dry it off, then looked down at his tunic and pulled it up and over his head, then wadded it up and then tossed it aside onto the floor. Y/N looked at him, her lips pursed and her hands slowly went to her hips, which caused Ragnar to raise an eyebrow and lift his shoulders a little. "What?" She shook her head and walked over to the shirt and picked it up. "I suppose men from the middle ages are just like the ones from today." she said as she moved over to a brightly colored basket and tossed it inside with a bunch of other clothes. "Is that where you put the ones that need to be cleaned?" Y/n nodded her head before leaving the room, going down a hallway and into another. Ragnar looked at the basket of clothes and then shrugged his shoulders and began to unlace his trousers when she came back in. "Whoa whoa whoa. Not in here, I'm in the process of setting up the guest room for you. We don't walk around nude here." she said shaking her head again. "That is such a shame." He said as he looked at her with a smirk and even went so far as to give her a wink like she had earlier to him. This caused her mouth to open slightly and he chuckled before lacing up the trousers once more and looked at her. Y/n's eyes were looking at his bare abdomen and chest before looking back up at him, he could tell that she was blushing some so he gave her a smile and tilt of his head. She stared at him silently and then tilted her own head and then to his surprise walked toward him slowly, which caused a feeling in the pit of his stomach to appear. Ragnar watched as she came up to him, stopping only when she was really close and then lift her head so that it was tilted back a bit so she could look up at him.

Ragnar was not sure how to act at this point, he began to open his mouth, but then she unceremoniously shoved something against his chest and he reached up to take hold of it so it would not fall down. With that, she gave him her own smirk that caused that stirring to appear within his stomach again, before she then walked away, taking some of the bags of his new clothes with her. He watched as she walked back down that hallway and then let out a breath, shaking his head and then looked down at what was now in his hand and saw that it was a clean white shirt. Ragnar smirked and then unfolded it and stared at it a moment, noting that it was rather strange looking. There were no sleeves at all. He pulled it over his head and slid his arms through the holes and then pulled it down over his torso and looked down at it with a raised eyebrow. This was fashion these days? He looked up when y/n came back into the room and he held his arms out to the sides. "Well?" She gave a smile and laughed. "It'll do for lounge wear for sure, probably something to sleep in too. Unless you sleep in the nude?" she said raising her eyebrow. "That is my secret." She shook her head and then gestured for him to come back into the area where he had the water bottle incident. He followed after her and his eyes widened when suddenly y/n slipped, her arms flying up into the air and he moved forward and managed to catch her by the waist as she began to go down. He brought her back up and looked down at the floor where the puddle of water still stood from earlier. "Why did you not clean that up?" he said with a chuckle. "Don't you sass me. I've been distracted with a viking in my home that doesn't understand jack." "Who is Jack?" "Oh shush."

She pushed herself up and out of his grasp and then went to a drawer, opened it and flung another towel down onto the ground to soak up the puddle. He smirked and then placed his foot upon the towel and moved it around some to wipe up the mess, then leaned down and picked it up, wadding it up and then tossing it into the basket of dirty clothes. Y/n went over to a cabinet and opened it, bringing out some plates and he tilted his head looking at them. They looked both delicate, and yet sturdy. Something he definitely did not have back home, nor had he seen on any raids either. He watched as she then scooted past him and went back to the big double door block, which he soon was told was called a 'refrigerator', though she added that most people just call it a 'fridge', which made him feel a bit better. She took out a small clear box that had something with a reddish color within and she went back over to the plates and then pulled open a drawer with cutlery within. How many drawers were there? Ragnar glanced around the kitchen. Eight. He heard the sound of something being scooped and plopped onto the plate and he turned to look over y/n's shoulder as she took what was within the container and put spoonfuls of it upon the plate. Y/n apparently could feel him standing just behind her and looking over her shoulder, so she turned her head slightly and glanced at him. "Lasagna." she said, which caused him to stare with slightly wide eyes. "You don't have to say it, just eat it." she said as she then covered them with what appeared to be thin cloths and stuck them inside of another smaller shiny block. She tapped a few times against the symbols he saw on the front of it, there came a beeping noise as she did, and then a light within the block came on. Ragnar bent down slightly and peered in, watching as the plates spun slowly on another plate within. "What is this?"

"A microwave. It heats up and cooks things using...well...microwaves." He stared at her silently as he stood up. "Another electricity?" he asked, and she nodded with a grin. "I normally would have heated it in the oven, but I am too hungry to wait." He looked around the kitchen for this 'oven' and she moved over to the big one that was between two sets of the eight drawers and she pulled it open and he leaned down and looked in. "Oven." "Don't worry, I'll make chef out of you yet." Once the food was warmed up, he followed y/n over to the table on the other side of the counter and sat down across from her. He began to reach for the lasagna with his fingers but she swatted gently from across the table with a metal fork. "You're gonna burn your fingers off, use the fork." she said, gesturing to his that was next to his plate. He glanced at it and then picked it up and stabbed at the lasagna with a smirk and blinked when it just slid off. Y/n giggled and then showed him how to cut it with the fork and then get it on there properly before he shoved it into his mouth. Ragnar at first winced from the heat, but then his eyes all but rolled back into his head from the taste. "This...this is unlike anything that I have ever eaten." he said as he cut into it and took another bite, despite the fact it was still hot. She chuckled and shook her head. "Just don't choke. I don't really feel like doing CPR today."

Now that he had food in his belly, having eaten three more helpings, y/n took him to the room that she had put together for him to use. All of the clothes were laid out upon the bed and Ragnar went over and inspected them for a moment before looking over at her. "Why so many?" "You should see my wardrobe, if you think that this is a lot." she said with a smirk and she folded her arms over her chest. "Go ahead and try them on. If you do not like them, put them back in the bag and I will take them back. Anything you like, just set in a pile on the chair and I can put them up for you." She went to the door and began to close it, stopping when it was cracked some. "I will come check on you in a little while." she said before nodding and shutting the door. He stared at the door for a moment and then turned and looked back down at the bed and the clothing upon it. He was not sure where to start, though from what he could tell, it looked like she had them in order. Shirt, pants, something that looked like you would put it over the shirt, he did not know it was called a jacket. He started with this outfit first, liking the fact that there was a skull on the front of the shirt. He had trouble with the pants, practically having to jump up and down to get them all of the way up and then there was this...strange metal thing that he could not figure out, so he just buttoned it and left it at that. He pulled the jacket on over his shoulders and adjusted the collar, tilting his head a bit as he looked at the mirror that was on the back of the door. Well, he actually liked the way that he looked in this. He pursed his lips and gave a nod and then was about to turn back to the clothes when he heard something in the hallway.

Ragnar opened the door and peered out into the hall, hearing what sounded like water, but as he looked around, he did not see any. Then he heard what sounded like music (though it was quite strange sounding) and singing and he followed that sound until he came to a door at the end of the hall. He reached for the door and opened it, walking in to find the room filled with steam and discovered that the sound of water he had heard earlier had been coming from in here. There was a white curtain upon a metal rod and from what he could tell, the steam was coming from behind it. His eyes looked down and he noted that it appeared to be a large basin made of what looked to be porcelain. Ragnar stepped forward and then reached for the white curtain, taking it in his fingers and then he pulled it back and his eyes widened when he was met with y/n's scream and she snatched at the curtain before pulling it against her apparently naked body. "What the hell?!" she shouted at him. Ragnar tried not to smile as he looked at her, then rubbed the back of his neck. "I heard water, then singing and...noise and that lead me here." he said as he then leaned forward some and looked at the shower head curiously, holding his hand out to catch the running water upon his open palm. "Where does the water come from and how does it keep coming out?" he said, then turning his head to look at y/n. She was looking at him with slight annoyance and shock that he was just standing there while she was trying desperately to keep her body covered. "I will be very happy to tell you where and how, if you would get the hell out." she said, her face red, though he was not sure if it was from the heat of the water, or her embarrassment. Though, from what he had glimpsed, she had no cause for embarrassment.

"I did not mean to frighten you." he said as he backed up a step. "Yeah, well you did." she said as she then moved the curtain back to how it was, but kept her head sticking out to make sure he was leaving. "Just...wait in your room until I come and knock on your door, okay?" she said, her tone having lost its bite. He bowed his head slightly and began to head to the door. "You look really good like that, by the way." she said. Ragnar turned to look over his shoulder at her as he opened the door. "As do you." he said, giving her a wink, and the most wicked of smirks.

Pumpkin patch: 2 Oct. Suptober

The source of the alarm seemed to be an attractive, wild-eyed woman pointing at Cas from the edge of the pumpkin patch. "You! It's you!"

deancas ust, indeterminate s11 or s12 au

"We missed the turn," Sam repeated.

"How? Where?" Dean flicked his hands at the windshield. Baby listed slightly towards the narrow shoulder and he course-corrected before they wound up in a ditch. "Nothing out here but corn and soy for fifty miles."

"And sunflowers," Cas mentioned from the back seat.

Dean shivered, thinking of those big tall plants like slumbering scarecrows, their creepy, heavy heads bowed with rotted weight. "Something sinister as shit about those flowers," he muttered.

"There's a side street up ahead." Sam leaned forward to squint hard at something in the distance Dean couldn't see yet. "Hard right."

The sign for Daily Lane had taken some damage, like someone on a tractor joyride had sideswiped it. The road itself was somehow even narrower than the county road they'd been on, and threaded up another hill of corn and more corn and, for a change, corn.

Suddenly, though, there were pumpkins.

"Oh," Sam said, doing some fancy fast typing on his phone. "Starlight Farm and Family."

"You got service on that thing again?" Dean asked as they slowly passed row after row of jack o'lantern style pumpkins growing on snaky vines.

"U-pick-it pumpkins, apples, cider donuts, coffee," Sam reeled off from whatever website he'd accessed.

"Coffee?" Cas piped up. He gave Dean a beseeching look and Dean sighed inwardly, knowing he was far too fond of that expression, and far too much a pushover in general, when it came to Cas, whom he was still looking at and needed to stop looking at and what had Sam just said about caramel apples?

"Legendary caramel apples," Sam repeated.

"If this place's so special, why weren't there signs for it way before now?" Dean steered them onto the farm's gravel driveway and into the last adjacent lot that seemed to have any empty parking spots.

Sam shrugged. "Maybe the locals give 'em so much business they don't need anyone else's." He rolled down his window and a scent of popcorn and old leaves wafted in. "Plenty of people here today."

This, Dean felt, was a vast understatement. People were pouring into the pumpkin patches like small waves, kids running out ahead of their parents with happy screams as they pounced on whichever gourd they most wanted to procure. Near a barn a line of customers waited to buy corn dogs and sodas. On the other side of the parking lot, someone had created a small maze out of a seemingly endless number of hay bales. Inside the maze, more kids bounced around, many cheating by going up and over the bales to speed to the center, where someone dressed like a giant bat was handing out orange balloons.

"I don't see how this helps us find state road 7." Cas, as ever, walked as near to Dean as possible, and Dean tried not to think about how simple it would be to put an arm around Cas's waist, all casual like, as they strolled into the festivities.

"It doesn't," Sam called out, already pulling away towards a building clearly marked Restrooms, "but so what."

He had a point.

Dean cleared his throat as soon as Sam was out of earshot. "So." He knocked his arm against Cas's. "Buy ya a cup of coffee?"

Cas opened his mouth, surely to say thank you, and was interrupted by a loud shriek and a small splatting noise, both of which passed through Dean like a ghost.

The source of the alarm seemed to be an attractive, wild-eyed woman pointing at Cas from the edge of the pumpkin patch. "You! It's you!"

Her expression, a combination of delight and astoundment, was only half matched by Cas, who'd paused to tip his head and study her, long enough Dean started to feel envious of the scrutiny.

"Mama, you smashed my pumpkin." A sweet-faced girl of maybe four or five, wearing pigtails and a Hey Ghoulfriend t-shirt, had crossed over to the woman as well, to inspect the cracked-open fruit at her mother's feet. The pumpkin had coughed up some guts in the fall. The girl pulled some out of the stringy viscera.

As Cas approached, she held out one disgusting, but very cute, hand and told him, "See, there are seeds in there and you plant the seeds in the field and then it rains and the pumpkins grow real big and then you cut them free with a biiiiig knife and then you take them home and you cut off the tops and you scoooooop out the brains and you make a, like, you make the pumpkins smile and then you put, uh, the candles in there and then all the bad monsters are frighted, um, frightened away."

All in one breath. The kid grinned at Cas like they were old friends, rubbed her goopy hands on the grass, and made a beeline for the hay maze.

"You saved her," the woman said to Cas in a hushed, awed voice. "She was just a baby." Her eyes were bright but no longer deranged.

Cas remembered something; Dean could tell by the way he took a breath of surprise.

"I'm glad I could help." Cas's voice was a little rough with emotion, Dean thought. It made Dean's chest ache.

The woman nodded, a bit tearily. When she looked down at the ruined pumpkin, she snorted a laugh. "At least the deer will have a snack tonight."

"We'd be happy to buy you another," Dean found himself saying.

The woman shook her head. "No, no, not necessary. My husband and son are hellbent on buying at least five others. I should catch up with them before they fill up the whole trunk." She bit her lip and smiled at Cas. "Was great to see you again, though." She picked up the biggest chunks of pumpkin and stacked them in the crook of her arm.

Just as she passed Dean, she said, cheerfully, "Your husband is an actual godsend," and she went on her merry way before he had a chance to register anything except agreement with the godsend part, since whatever else Dean thought about Chuck – none of it particularly pleasant – he was, after all, Cas's dad. Well. Father in a manner of speaking. Creator? Toxic boss? Whatever.

"What's up?" Sam asked, having wandered back.

"Dean and I got married while you were peeing," Cas said.

"Cool." Sam quirked an eyebrow at Dean. "You gonna get a donut or something to celebrate?"

Or at least, that was probably what he asked. Dean wasn't completely certain. The satellite linking his brain to his mouth was experiencing solar flare complications; his mental plane had definitely hit a pocket of turbulence.

"He's buying me a coffee." Cas smiled at Dean at the corner of his mouth. His eyes were kind, and led Dean back to civilization.

Dean, unable to look away, smiled too. "Sure am," he said.

Story of Seasons Needs to go Back to its Roots with its Art Style: A War Against 3D

My first Harvest Moon game was Harvest Moon DS Cute, and ever since I’ve been smitten. I adored the gameplay. Farming, mining, taking care of animals, cooking, getting cute ass romance scenes and getting married?? Love it. Can’t get enough of it.

However, ever since the series started embracing/incorporating 3D into their art direction and art style, the games just haven’t been appealing for me to pick up. To put it bluntly, they can’t create a 3D art style that isn’t ugly. Every single fucking time they release a game, they shoot for the heavens with 3D and it’s just not done well. So to me, all the new games that insist on this art direction are just

u g l y.

Usually, the concept art looks fantastic. The character drawings and the box art are charming and stylized beautifully, as seen below:

from SoS: Friends of Mineral Town

But the game itself? The world/environment you’re supposed to stare at? They’re consistently literally ugly to me now. Take SoS: Friends of Mineral Town, I can understand the previous games that were like released in the 2010s as being janky ugly 3D models but this FoMT was released in 2019, and it still has the same issues with the art style that I just can’t get behind.

The characters’s 3d models. Making them look like chibis was a choice alright. The character drawings are cute but they just don’t translate well into the 3d models they chose for them. They look like toys.

The proportions are ridiculous. I don’t think its appealing, I don’t think its a good look design wise. The animals look like sentient plushies. The crops are as big as your character model.

It’s 3D but everything is just so FLAT. If you look at the grass its like one solid color, if you look at your dirt plot its one color. There’s not enough detail so it ends up looking flat and bland. If you see a vast of green land that’s all you’re getting. Might as well been a green carpet. What minuscule detailing they do have it’s just not enough to break and beautify the monotony of the landscape.

Now compare that with their old style: Pixel art/Sprites. Admittedly, after Harvest Moon DS Cute, the only other game from the series I found appealing enough to play was Tale of Two Towns.

I much prefer the art direction they went with in those games. It was so incredibly detailed. The trees look dense. You can see the detail in the grass, you can see an abundance of weeds, flowers, whatever. The houses were pretty and the colors were charming. ToTT’s art style was an amazing elevation of pixel art. It was even more detailed and even more charming. Say what you will about these games, but the art style was definitely not bland and flat.

Comparisons

Harvest Moon DS/Cute: look at the grass, look at the pathways, look at the dense trees, look at that house and the brick!

SoS Tale of Two Towns: Look at the water!!! Look at the grass, look at the random plants, the flowers dotted everywhere, the patchiness and the irregular pathways, look at how even denser the trees look

Sos Friends of Mineral Town: You cannot tell me this is prettier than the others. Grass looks like it was spray painted on. The water is ‘okay'.

I just wish, with my entire being, that the developers of story of seasons would just give up on the 3D. They can’t do it well. They’re not charming, they’re not pleasing to look at, and you kinda want games to be nice to look at considering you’re gonna be staring at that thing for hours to play the game??

And before you fucking try to come at me about FoMT not being their most recent release:

This is SoS: Pioneers of Olive Town (release: 2021)

yeah fuck that

I don’t think I’m old school for preferring the art styles and art direction of the older games, I just think they’re objectively prettier and the 3D whatever the developers are consistently clinging to is just plain ugly.

Please. Let. Go.

This message doesn’t just go out to the creators of story of seasons. Every time I see a ‘cozy’ game with an interesting concept and gameplay but with that same shitty 3d bland-ass flat-ass art style I get so disappointed. And there are so many of them.

I think I can bet money on if Stardew Valley didn’t go the pixel art route it wouldn’t be as acclaimed as it is. Stardew Valley’s art style is charming and is actually appealing. I think it’s a big factor as to why so many people love it.

This is literally just a rant/tantrum because I see so many interesting games but with shit art styles and it’s such a turn off. Like. Please. Expand your horizons. 3d models can’t be the end all be all.

ZoSan Minecraft gamer AU

Sanji is definitely a builder and forager. He has a system, builds his farms, his house, and everything in order. He has a specific build every time and counts his blocks accordingly.

Meanwhile, Zoro...

He's a wanderer and gets lost every single time. The only thing he needs is a sword and a pick axe. That's the only thing you'll find in his inventory.

They own separate youtube channels and sometimes they collab on streams.

Every time it would be CHAOTIC.

Sanji: Where are you?

Zoro: I'm by this tree

Sanji: what tree where

Zoro: it's snowing

Sanji: WHY IS IT SNOWING OUR BASE IS IN THE OAK FOREST--

Zoro: Minecraft glitched it's not my fault

Sanji: FFS what are your coords

Zoro: what are coords

Sanji: WHAT THE FUCK--

But don't underestimate Zoro. He actually knows how enchantments work. He knows how to make potions too. Anything to increase his attack he'll learn it.

Sanji: Marimo, for the last time FUCK when ur getting wood you take everything! Don't leave floating trees everywhere!

Zoro: I already have the amount of wood I need y would I need to get the rest

Sanji: [chopping the remaining wood] GOD

...

Zoro: hurry tf up, cook we're supposed to be looking for an ender portal not picking flowers

Sanji: u won't understand this such ur such a caveman, but I NEED these flowers for the outside of our house

...

Their subscribers would cheer every time they schedule a collab. Quickly, shippers started flocking to their channels, completely smitten with their videos.

There are youtube edits, fanimatics, FANART

And they'd scream every time either Zoro and Sanji would retweet it or leave a comment.

...

Sanji: MARAIMO WHAT THE FUCK!!!

Zoro: What is it now!?

Sanji: why'd you bring A RAID INTO THE VILLAGE?

Zoro: bcus I wanted to beat it why the fuckk else?

Sanji: I haven't locked the villagers safely yet-- they're DYING!

Zoro: SO!? Just get more!

Sanji: I CAN'T MAKE MORE WHEN THEY'RE ALL DEAD-- who am I supposed to trade with now!!!

...

Sanji: Did you get a bed?

Zoro: yeah

Sanji:

Sanji: Where r u gonna put it?

Zoro:

Zoro: I-in the other room duh

Zoro, in fact, wanted to place it next to Sanji's bed, but he was too embarrassed to

...

Zoro: I got you this *throws down buckets of cow milk*

Sanji: How-- where did you get this?

Zoro: u said u wanted to make cake... so... I traveled 500 blocks looking for cows. I brought some back.

Sanji:

Sanji: thank you

...

Zoro: Oi, curly, I'm hungry. Give me food I need to heal.

Sanji: why tf didn't u bring any of the 64 fucking porkchops I put in our chest

Zoro: bcuz I knew u'd bring it for me

Sanji:

Sanji: f-fuck you *drops porkchops in front of Zoro*

em I’m obsessed w u 💋 since you’re on a car ride I’m thinking about an aimless road trip w Steve and you’ve not got a destination in mind but you stop at every roadside thing every berry stand and farm and weird attraction and you stay in motels so bad he’s like Jesus can we sleep in the car and you have to show him how to navigate a laundromat since he’s never done that and I’m ill now when is Steve picking me up

STOP IT THIS INSTANT WHY IS THIS NOT HAPPENING TO ME RIGHT NOW

he’s like a little kid, he sees something shiny, he has to stop and check it out. so basically steve’s driving and he’s blasting the music and singing along and he spots a farmer’s market on the side of the road and the boy is GIDDY. he’s frantically turning down the music and pointing to it like “please can we go???😫” and of course you stop and he walks around to each stand, holding your hand and pointing out every little thing💀💀 he buys you flowers and maybe a plant or two and then he charms the old woman behind the counter and gets you guys peaches for free GAH . and then you’re driving for like, ten minutes, and he sees kids at a makeshift lemonade stand and he gives you that look and he’s like “we have to stop.” so he’s pulling over and searching the center console for change and he drags you over and he’s chatting with the kids OH GOD. he’s like “jeez, a whole dollar? you guys are bleeding me dry here for some lemonade…” but he ends up giving them like six dollars for one and then he tries it and he looks at the kids like “😳this is the greatest lemonade i’ve ever had” AND ITS LITERALLY WATER OH MY GOD HE IS SUCH A DORK I WANT HIM. the kids definitely call you his “wife” and he’s like “ha ha, no she’s not my wife yet🥴” and then you just drive around all day aimlessly and it’s so nice being with him and spending time alone together. there’s just so many times where you catch him staring and he’s just so in love with you🫶

maybe it rains or something and you guys run to a laundromat to dry your shoes and you’re like “ok we can throw them in” and he’s like “…. i, um… i don’t know how” so you’re showing him how to put in the coins and the settings on the machine and he’s listening so intently and trying so hard to learn :’)) by the end of the day it takes everything in him not to just pull over and sleep in the car in the back with you but you’re like “steve, i’m so sorry i love you but i cannot sleep in the back of the car with you. you will kick me in your sleep.” so he takes you to some shitty motel with a pool and you guys swim and sleep really close together, he’s never held you so close before and right before you fall asleep he’s like “im so glad i get to be here with you. im so happy you’re here with me:)” WAHHHH I NEED HIM SO BAD😖😭

"U-uhm, well..chickens are found on farms. You want ones that aren't laying eggs anymore. Crawfish and shrimp are crustaceans, like lobsters -- crawfish are found in freshwater and shrimp tend to be in saltwater like the ocean. Mussels are like oysters -- they're a mollusk and also found in the ocean..

As for seasonings...Paprika, garlic and onion powder, salt, black and white pepper, cayenne pepper, those chillies you have, thyme and parsley...

For veggies -looking at note card- onions, celery, garlic and red bell pepper..."

Focusing on anything else after that incident became an impossibility as the near blind stumblings almost tripped over the scattered wood littering about. The unsettling apprehension struck true and deep into the space over his heart, piercing deeper with the stringent breaths recoiling away from the pot and food left behind. Frayed nerves held only by a few strands as the dull ache festered like an unclean wound. For months he's ignored it, forgotten it almost but seeing those ribbons and that gentle face made everything crash into him at once with the memories spent in that little village lost to the blazes of wrath. That stupid home that had been for him to live in, fitted for his stature had long been reeclaimed by nature while the fields of flowers were burnt to ashen remains in the way he knew it would be after his destruction reached its end.

The assortment of spices he gathered during his time wouldn't be used as they lay in the depths of his cave but without its master around; they'd be easy pickings for anyone coming in freely. No one would stop any thieves as the residing entity was lost to his own warring mind. No set destination had been held; only that he needed to get away as fast as possible and try to find his head again.

Push down what he thought he saw, bury it with the rubble of singed wood and rock.

Clawing at his chest, the numbing pain did well to distract a head that was blown wide open for its contents to leak onto the floor despite the fact he was perfectly fine on the outside. Stumbling footfalls crashed his body into the walls of a canyon, swallowed by its gaping maw in a blind stagger while the happenings of the world continued as they should as the deepest wounds required the most intensive privacy away from prying eyes and the hidden knives that could easily slip into his flesh right then.

txt as minecraft dates . . . ♡

PAIRING: txt x gn!reader

GENRE: fluff

WARNINGS: the word "shit"

WORD COUNT: 0.8k

A/N: idk if any of the members play minecraft or not so this is all rlly my opinion as usual !! also i rlly rlly liked making this post, it's so cute <3

YEONJUN

ok i dont think yeonjun is the type to play minecraft often

so he would probably sorta still fumble around while he plays with you

like he'd try to give you a flower and accidentally punch you

i think for his minecraft date, you two would just play normal minecraft together while he says cheesy, romantic lines

like he'd make a dirt house for you and offer you bread while confessing his love

"this lava is almost just as hot as you ;)"

"you're being burned alive, yeonjun"

would also be the type to say he'd be your knight in shining armor as he tries to fight zombies

he's over here sweating as he attacks those skeletons while you're trying to mine iron

he tries so hard for you plz

and i think you two would probably end up with a small, cute home with a farm and stuff

and if you play together multiple times, he definitely leaves signs around that say stuff like "i love you" :((

he just likes u sm im gonna cry

SOOBIN

i think soobin would like minecraft

idk it suits his vibe

and i think he'd definitely try hard, too

your date would probably be laid back and wholesome <3

like he definitely spends a majority of the time farming potatoes and carrots

and he also likes giving you flowers

like lots of flowers

you'd build a cute little house together

very cottagecore very sweet 10/10

he probably lowkey likes to imagine that he's really building a home where you two can be together and live peacefully :(

i can also imagine him placing two beds next to each other and giggling

i also think he'd get like 50 bones and get a bunch of dogs so that he could protect you

just imagine a minecraft soobin and an army of dogs chasing after him

he's just so so sweet and his date would be so romantic <3

BEOMGYU

you two are definitely trying to beat the game

but he also probably isn't very familiar with minecraft in the first place

so he definitely tries to fight the first thing that looks at him funny (probably a zombie) and gets killed right away

i think like yeonjun, he'd claim that he's your knight

but he wouldn't realize creepers blow up and would die again

but yeah, once he figures things out, he's definitely rushing to beat the game

like i just imagine him jumping around caves trying to find diamonds and ender pearls and stuff like that

and i think he'd get pretty good once he understands how things work

and you two would eventually kill the ender dragon and win

he'd be so happy and smiley :(

tell him you're proud of him and he'll be so :D

he's so cute i cant

would probably ask for a kiss once you win, too

might play again just to see if he could beat the game faster

TAEHYUN

i just feel like he gets the game

he picks up on everything rlly easily

but he wouldn't really be interested in beating the game unless you wanted to

he just sorta likes exploring and you two would probably go around the entire world doing whatever

i can imagine you two in a boat looking for villages

he probably likes dealing with villagers even though their deals are shit

and for some reason, i think he'd be interested in potions, too ????

like idk

he's just a funky man (which i love)

he just wants to look around with you and have fun <3

and he'd like to give you things, too

he gives you flowers, healing potions, armour, etc

he'd do anything for you (plz just give me one chance)

idk if he'd really play the game often, but he likes anything as long as you do, too <3

HUENINGKAI

TELL ME HUENINGKAI ISN'T THE TYPE TO CONFESS TO YOU THROUGH MINECRAFT

like especially if you two really can't see each other often, he'd look up one of those tutorials and figure out how to do that railroad thing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkgbH4G8cto&ab_channel=AnxiousCynic

^^ this but obviously not a marriage proposal

i think he also rlly likes minecraft in general and would love playing with you

like minecraft dates are a normal occurrence with him

if he has the time, he probably makes cute houses and gardens and stuff for you, too

also another member who would love giving you flowers

and he probably has a dog and a cat, too

he understands the game and is ready to confess his love for you every chance he gets

he's so adorable??? gonna faint

and i just know he'd have a really good house (probably followed a tutorial but still)
