Ash experiences a plot divergence
Getting myself ready to play Derek's dlc! That guy is so forward even in the base game. I'm excited to see what he's like as Ash (and Cove for step 2 I'm assuming) get to spend more time with him.

imagine coves reaction to mc getting her nails done as his tip color 🫣
I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT. but now that im thinking about it... imagine you slide up next to him, start paling him n he thinks he's just getting some. n you have him in your hand, working him up.... n you just take a fucking picture of his dick. n yeah you do get him off for the trouble, but imagine doing that so you can color pick the tone n then roll up to the fucking salon with the color brought up on your phone n you insist. on this particular shade. make the tech get it as close as possible...
fucking unhinged I'm sorry
I didn't talk about it in my previous posts because I figured maybe it was too similar to the lipstick posts. but since someone else shared my thought... freaking imagine it
he'd be so embarrassed when you bring up what you wanna do with your nails next. even more so when you come home and show him the finished product...
calls you a tease when you have your hand around his dick later, comparing the color. its a damn perfect match
oh but if you edge him for awhile.. bringing him so close to the edge, and then pulling away... over n over until he's writhing under your touch, his head tossed back and twisting from the overwhelming pleasure. all those pretty moans falling from his lips as he fucks up into your fist.
now his cock is all flushed and heavy, oozing thick globs of pre cum. he's so cute, even his strained, pleasured face just stirs you up. you could edge him forever.
he can only growl and beg for more, beg for release, even though you're teasing him about how flushed his cock is now, how maybe you should've gotten this color instead so you can look at your nails n remember what he lovely, pent up dick looks like.
(can't look at them while the days go on. he's endlessly embarrassed about why n how you picked that color... is even more embarrassed and jumpy when someone compliments the color of your nails. don't say it's your favorite color, he will scream n run out the store.)

Derek liked what he saw when he looked in the mirror -- genuinely, he did. He had striking eyes, big and green and sparkling, smooth freckled skin that almost seemed to glow in the sun. He had a nice head of hair, sandy brown waves that he took care to keep groomed. The countless hours he'd spent at the gym were evident too in his strong arms, his chiseled chest. He looked good, he knew that.
The issue wasn't on the outside, but what was on the inside.
He'd always struggled with feelings of worthlessness. His childhood was full of good memories, time spent with his brothers and his friends, playing and laughing, but more than that, they were marred by the overwhelming feeling that he should have been doing more. That he should have been better.
Derek thought about that in the quiet of the early morning, watching the sunlight slowly filter through his bedroom window to shine down on you, laying sleeping next to him. And as he watched your chest rise and fall, a peaceful look on your face and your hand in his, he realized that that feeling was gone.
It was strange, losing something that had been with him for as long as he could remember. He tried to pinpoint a moment when it had happened, when the weight on his chest had been lifted, then came to understand that it had happened in tiny increments, slowly enough that he hadn't noticed right.
Maybe a little faded away after that kiss you shared on the Ferris wheel. Maybe some left the first time he'd told you that he loved you -- he was sure he lost a sizable portion when you'd said it back. But over the past year, in shameful little pieces, it had all fallen away. He was clean. He was free.
"Derek."
Your sleepy voice pulled him out of his thoughts, and he focused on your face. Your eyes were only half opened, but they were looking at him. Really seeing him.
"Yeah?" he asked, his voice husky with sleep. He swallowed his emotions, but not in a bad way this time. He'd save them for later then he'd share them all with you.
"It's too early, lay back down with me."
He smiled and let you pull him back down against you. He wrapped his arms snugly around you and felt you settle into them. You were at peace like this, and so was he. Really and truly at peace.
"Thank you," he said, placing a kiss on your forehead before laying his head down.
"For what?" you asked.
"For everything."

I also forgot to ask you in my previous message if it's true that the gift Cove gives you in Happiness after your date is related to the objects we choose for the bedroom?
No worries that you forgot! I like having asks separated like this anyway~
I imagine you're referring to the second gift that Cove gives you? Because if so, then yes, you're correct! In fact, all three gifts that Cove gives the MC over the course of the three outings are based on your choices throughout the game on at least some level.
The first gift, for example, which is given after Cove arrives at the door on the morning of your first outing with him, is dependent on multiple factors. If you've told Cove your favorite flower in Long Day, are at Crush/Love with Cove, and are not dating Baxter, Cove will give you that flower. If instead you're Fond with Cove, dating Baxter, and/or didn't pick a favorite flower in Long Day, then Cove will give you a gift based on your hobby. The hobby chosen is whatever you picked last when talking to Kyra in the Step 2 intro, or whatever you picked last in the Step 3 intro if you chose that you were into new hobbies rather than sticking to the old ones.
The second gift - the one you mentioned - that's given after Cove arrives at the door before the second outing is indeed based on what objects you have in your bedroom. Some objects also take priority over others, with plants and framed paintings being near the bottom.
The third gift that's given after Cove sneaks through the window before the third outing, regardless of if the MC planned a surprise in return or not, is based on your plans for the future. Specifically, if you applied anywhere, are planning on staying local, and if you told Cove or not.
I put below the break what gifts Cove will give the MC for anyone who wants to know/plan ahead:
First Gift (whichever hobby the MC picked last in the Step 2/3 intro if the MC did not tell Cove their favorite flower in Long Day, are at Fond, and/or are dating Baxter)
if Reading - a new book you'd been waiting for
if Fashion - an accessory
if Sports - exercise shoes
if Music - a poster of a band you love
if Games - a new game you'd been waiting for
if Writing - a writing journal
if Media - a physical series collection of a show you love
if Art - a mix pack of new art supplies
if Ocean - a rare shell
Second Gift (depending on the MC's choices for their room; I've listed them in order of the highest to lowest priority, and I've also marked in parentheses which room colors allow for them)
if Ukulele (blue/green/purple) - a ukulele case
if Teddy Bear (any) - a stuffed animal
if Telescope (any) - a telescope lens
if Galaxy Cloth (blue/green) - a star map
if Volleyball (green/yellow) - a volleyball bag
if Candles (purple) - a candle
if Photos/Corkboard (green/yellow) - a photo collection
if Vase (purple) - a vase
if Plants (any) - a potted plant
if Framed Paintings (any) - a painting
if Foot Stool (blue/purple) - a throw pillow
Third Gift (based on plans for the future; note that if you applied for schools and jobs, the game will prioritize school)
if applied for School, are not staying local, and told Cove - a t-shirt with the logo of the college you'd applied to
if applied for a Job, are not staying local, and told Cove - a t-shirt with the logo of the company you'd applied to
if made plans for Travel, are not staying local, and told Cove - a thick pack of postcards and stamps
if other (meaning you either didn't tell Cove your plans, hadn't begun to do anything/only started to prepare for the future in general, or simply planned on staying local) - a mug matching Cove's, stamped with Sunset Bird's town symbol

How to position facial features for the Our Life sprites
Idk how many people need this tutorial (especially since I kinda sat on it for like a month...whoops) but I noticed people were starting to make more sprite edits and videos using the in-game sprites and I thought having this tutorial might help for those of you who don't know exactly how to place the expression layers for the sprite.
Part 1: What am I talking about?
Ok so some of you may be reading the post title and thinking "what the hell does that mean?". For those who are unaware, if you decompile OL1 and OL2, you can find the sprites used for the characters in the game. These files are generally in character folders that contain all the bits for each sprite as well as several versions of the sprite itself in different outfits. All these base sprites files look a little like this
You may have noticed the glaringly obvious detail that Qiu here is missing most of their face. That's because there are several seperate images used for their eyebrows, eyes and mouth. The reason they're all seperated like this is to give more creative freedom over expressions than what would be allowed if there were just already a set number of sprites with set expressions
However, if you want to make a spite edit video, that means you have to piece all the expression layers over the sprite and, since the expression layers don't have the same canvas size as the sprite, you have to actually place them on the face yourself. This can lead to stuff like this.
If you're looking at this and thinking it doesn't look quite right, you're correct. This is the issue you're noticing
This is generally what happens when you try placing expression layers by eye, you end up sort of assuming you've got the right spot when you're actually slightly wrong. And this is gif just shows the facial features in the wrong spot vertically
So, I've explained the problem, now how do you fix it? It's simple actually.
Part 2: The actual tutorial part
What you'll need:
The sprites and expression layers you need (this tutorial assumes you already have the game decompiled so I'm not telling you how to this part)
An editing software that has a tranform tool such as Photopea, Photoshop, GIMP, etc.
Step 1: Open up the sprite you want to use in your image editing software of choice and import in all the expression layers you want to use
Step 2: Open up the transform tool on your editing software. Where this is may vary, on Photopea and Photoshop you can open up either through the shortcut alt+control+t or clicking on edit in the top bar and selecting Free Transform from the menu. If you don't know where the transform tool is in your software, I'd suggest looking it up
(A showcase of where the tranform tool is in Photopea and Photoshop)
(What the transform box should look like
Step 2.5 (This might be photopea specific, idk if other software does this): If your transformation tool box looks like this, cancel out of the tool (using the little x button on the top bar) and then open the transformation tool back up again. Make sure you're not selecting multiple layers and also make sure you didn't open the tool with the transformation controls tick box from the top bar. If none of that works, just delete the layer and grab it from your folder again and try again
Step 3: With the transform tool still open on your desired layer, move the layer so that it snaps against the corner of your canvas. Your image editing software should automatically have layer snapping enabled but, if not, I suggest looking up how to turn it on. If it doesn't have this, the best suggestion I have would just be to make sure the corner of the transform tool's box and the corner of the canvas allign. Zoom in if need be. You then repeat this process for the other expression layers (and any other layers that aren't automatically allighned like the blush layers or the tear layers)
(Notice the red lines that show up when it snaps against the corner)
Step 4: Export your sprite file because that's it, you did it! Now you have a sprite with the layers placed in the right spots! Isn't that great!
...(maybe I should've chosed a happier expression for this...)
Anyways, I hope this helps!

I know I sound like I fucking hate Baxter, but I don't, not really.
If you scroll back to my ol tag you will see that I played his dlc and enjoyed it, and I did but people pointed out some criticism that I couldn't help but agree with because, while I enjoyed it, It did made me feel ...empty, unsatisfied, something was missing.
And something was missing and that holding baxter accountable, granted this time I'm going off my memory so I might be wrong, but MC constantly reassesses Baxter and never once do they hold him accountable for what he's done, I understand why he did it, it doesn't make it fucking ok and MC should be pissed about it especially if they dated Baxter.
I'm happy if your MCs can forgive him, mine can't because they're OCs that are very feelings driven people who will hold him accountable and will force him to talk about what happened and why it happened, AND ONE OF THEM WILL GO NO CONTACT WITH HIM AFTERWARDS BECAUSE THEY JUST WANTED CLOSURE.
What pisses me off is that this dlc is not for every MC is not thought for those MCs who would just want closure and move on "you could also not play the DLC" I hear you but we meet Baxter as the wedding planner if my MCs end up with Cove so they'd still want to have closure.
My MCs should still be able to have a Baxter route where they just talk things out with him because that's just life, I don't want my MCs to be forced to be ok with his shenanigans because the game said so because my MCs don't act like that, it would make my own characters out of character and I wrote these bitches.
I just need people to be more aware that as much angst Baxter has is not a justification for what he did and he should still give MC a proper apology and not the one we got in game
#our life#our life beginnings & always#olba#baxter ward#im not scared of his fans<- is terrified#y'all pls accept criticism im not saying i hate him im saying it could have been handled better#free to do what you want for your mcs have im frustrated bc mine are unplayable in his dlc

Insecurities - OLBA Comfort Comic
This is old art, but I still like this comic.
I remember this taking a long time to draw, not because it's shaded and everything, but because I was going through a battle of insecurities. And drawing this made me feel so much better. Now I get to re-share it with all of you!
