It should be getting darker at this point, rui notes, shielding his eyes from the setting sun as he travels upward. As it turns out, blocking your eyes will also not keep you from bumping into people. Who would have thought?

A-Ah- goodness, I'm so sorry-... Oh...! Ah, fufu... nice to see you again, An.

[An yelps as someone runs into her, turning around and smiling when she sees Rui.]

Aaawwwww that's so precious!!

So many scenes get cut out of For All Mankind, and sometimes I wish they were still in because people still have questions. Sometimes I wish it was still in just so people can follow a character's train of thought a little more. When the bombing happens, most people go one way. Aleida stops there, she looks to her right, and she decides to go down another way that would lead her to Margo's office. So, her first thought isn't, "Get out." After a bombing, she's not like, "Get out. I need to survive." Her first thought is "I need to save Margo." —Coral Peña

I love that the They/Them of Coral Island literally only talks about coffee. What an icon.

Introducing my Coral Island sibling-duo farmers, Mili and Lu-Ran!

I switched character genders mid-game since I was too busy to start a 2nd save file, so now I headcanon'd that I have sibling farmers that run their farm together!

They're super close despite their large age-gap, and in my headcanon, they lived with their grandmother bc they're on non-speaking terms with their parents, who did not accept them coming out as queer (Mili as gay, Lu-Ran as nonbinary). They later moved from Pokyo to the island to start their own farm!

They each have their very different preferences that conveniently work out for splitting up farm duties.

Lu-Ran is more laid-back and quiet, and doesn't have much physical stamina. They're a big plant lover and nerd, so they take care of most of the plants on the farm, the accounting, and their spare time is spent in the library with Millie, or chilling with Raj or Ben. (I'd like to think of Raj and Lu-Ran as nonbinary besties). Lu-Ran enjoys foraging, fishing (but they suck at it) and diving. In-game, they're the one that has helped cure the sick corals by cleaning up the ocean. They cannot stand any bugs or insects other than butterflies.

Mili is super energetic and friendly, she talks a lot and is always on the move. She's a thicc girl but solidly built, so she's in charge of taking care of the livestock and building any farming structures/machines. She has a lot of courage and a thick skull, which equates to a female himbo. She thinks and lives simply. She loves ore mining and monster hunting and is part of the Band of Smiles. In-game, she's the one who is helping the Giants recover. In her spare time, she plays volleyball with Chaem and Aaliyah, hangs out with Scott in the mines or chills with Alice and Noah (she believes everything they say). The only thing she's capable of cooking is Bug Jerky and Candied Tree Seed.

The dopamine is stored in the farming sims.

...hmm? I don't believe I've seen you around. I'd take you for a water nymph, but, ah...no, you're also a hybrid of sorts?

hm? oh, hi~!

im flattered you assumed i was a nymph, but nope! i’m just a regular old merfolk~

Since StoneMover had a fox that brought him food, I think we should have animus familiars, and I think that it would be impressive to have a scavenger familiar that can gather supplies, as well as protect you from threats.

I love that idea! They should have animal pals! I actually never thought of that. I think the more popular thing among animuses (animi?) would be like things enchanted into familiars, the more sparkly and impressive the better, just to showcast their power. I imagine Anemone would have enchanted herself a dolphin made out of water, cause according to Coral they are distantly related to Seawings. I made some doodles for this, cause this idea was stirring in my mind all day:

I realised while working on my commission that I just got no clue how to have characters interact in the same space so uhh... better practice!

Queen Coral cares so little about her sons to the point where they're barely even considered royalty.
