any recs with mobility aids / disability?

they're my favorite to read (fanart welcome too though!), and I know the tags aren't used every time they could be, which is why I'm asking here.

audio issues

seeing this had me soooo hopeful. I'm not sure what's been adjusted though.

the sleep audio update has ruined the best feature to me. Great that I can hear more background noise. Great that we can adjust those settings a bit more.

Bad that the Li is absolutely silent unless you have SFX turned up. Why is his breath and voice filed under SFX in the main settings? I have voice set to 10 and SFX set to 0 in the main settings, denoise on 0 in the sleep settings, and it is absolute silence. To hear his breath or voice, you also need to turn up the button clicking sound for every single thing that gets tapped.

Why is the diagetic and non-diagetic sound filed under the same thing? His sleeping breath & voice shouldn't by any logic be filed under SFX. Battle noises and footsteps at home and some other things also get muted with SFX on 0.

Even worse is that Sylus's sleep noise, even when turned up all the way, is a shadow of what it once was. I miss his growls, his sleepy grumbles. I miss my dragon. I miss my cure for insomnia. I miss the best part of this app.

If the current quiet, too-human Sylus has to stay, then I am on my knees begging for a way to set it back. I can get rid of all the new features. I don't care for them. I asked for more settings in the survey on behalf of other players. I also wanted to hear more ambient noise. I thought more customization would be adding features, not sacrificing quality.

any predictions that include reruns?

I've seen a few prediction schedules but they've always been for new banners.

NDZ should be returning soon, which is a green lunar 5 star.

Sylus has the next promise card, but I'm not sure what stellactrum.

Pretty sure that his 4th myth will be purple.

Zayne's birthday is coming up soon...

it looks like we'll have a free 5* card event for sylus and caleb, and then valko gets his intro. (idk what color to guess though lol)

I'm trying to save my pity for sylus, but also like to pull on others for the general accessories (still dying for that chair pose and eyepatch to hit the lunar shop). there's a few cards I missed last year and weigh whether to get them now, or wait for a new lunar with the same stella. this game makes me do so much math I swear... anyone else trying to map out their wish earning / spending?

his pouty face >_<

still waiting on the chair pose from (and that eyepatch) to get in the lunar shop... same for the current pose. gotta lock in and save that pity.

sooo to cope I'm leaving sylus pent-up and locked into the chair. might figure out how to sit on him someday.

why is he so gorgeous

I was trying to raise affinity with moments posts (solo, his gaze on camera. together, gaze on each other. flower pose might also have to be solo) but erm now I have to change my phone background

are my fellow Viper enjoyers still here?

I've only become more obsessed with him and really needed to give this guy his own room, considered a diorama and dolls irl but for now just... redesigning my in-game living room into his space (which will take a few weeks since I need some more home coin lmfao).

anyway since I can't have Viper in the lads home... I think I'm going to redesign my MC into looking like him. I'm finally happy w her face and horribly great at accidentally deleting customization so most likely just going to restyle, at least we have a green hair option T_T

tldr if anyone has made Viper stuff irl or in-game I'd love to see them T_T

show off your rooms in the wrong places

I wanted room 5 so bad since before we knew it was a kitchen. bedrooms are just so fun and with the plushie update?? it's a pastel playroom. Some big plushie needs to go behind the blue shell bed but I haven't decided on what...

so my room 4 (workout room) is the kitchen, my room 3 (bathroom) is the favorite bedroom. but omg I can't wait for the second floor, I love my shaded weeping willow garden but it's impossible to find rainbows and meteor showers. I know the view from our balcony is going to be so beautiful.... (and auroras are also visible through the living room ceiling window)

this new shelf is perfect for a plushie jail! large size Wanderers belong in there <3 I love clipping and I wish there was more of it tbh

hopefully in the future they'll let us recycle plushies for extra materials but at least chocolate can buy them for now...

sylus chose his outfit

and now I'm making him cook all day bc wdymmmmm it's so?? he put the effort in?? is this gratitude for ditching the apron?? bc his daily wear has been the same outfit and 0 accessories lately (or maybe not bc yesterday's cooling outfit was his usual default thing that reminds me of Jareth, no accessories).

u/stitchesinadream — 1 month ago

what do you think the next rerun will be?

I used to keep up with schedule predictions, but with Wander in Wonder running now, I have no idea what to expect. Does anyone have updated prediction charts or a guess for the next ones to run?

edit to add: do you think passionate appraisal might be next?

since we skipped no defense zone, and this is a much tamer Sylus card (from what I've seen anyway, I don't let myself watch the cards I plan to get). It would trade the green stellactrum for a purple card, but if they just swap out one banner for another... idk

0 kudos accomplishment

I wrote a fic about a week or two ago for a newly introduced pairing in an active fandom, expecting it to get a lot of hate comments or praise. But it has 2 bookmarks and 0 kudos. I didn't know that was possible (here. has absolutely happened in others).

so I'm giggling about this and trying to see how long it can keep the 0 kudos streak for, while being tempted to remove it from the anonymous collection, just to see how that changes the stats. I've written stupider and grosser and funnier fics before, I don't think any of my subs would be shocked. But I'm also trying to be patient and not do that. It feels like cheating, and generally if I'm writing a trope that I would most likely not write again, then I leave it on anon.

It's so impossible to predict how fan works will be received. Like in the same fandom, the work that I expected to get 0 kudos is like a skyscraper next to my other top 5 stats.

edit to add: damn I guess everyone else was faking their "stats don't determine my worth!" mentality huh??

the point was this is funny, and maybe relatable, but I guess not. Pity parties are not wanted. 0 kudos is a rare feat in this fandom, so it feels like an achievement.

illusio making me not regret those outfit crates

pulled for accessory on the current rerun and I'm obsessed with that thing now. he's so pretty it pairs so well....

silly confessions thread?

I want to put something fun and lighthearted in here, no discourse or complaining for a bit. so I'll start:

- I like it when the guys beat me at kitty cards. like that's so attractive lmfao?? if I ragequit then it means I don't have feelings for him 🙂‍↔️

- the secret times where Caleb says we're kind of like a little shrimp has lived in my head rent-free. I make him call me that and take screenshots bc it's still funny.

- I wasn't going to pull for this multibanner but the hat was perfect for hatman cable, so I pulled for hat (and the chat bubble fit the theme perfectly so that was my reward for the photoshoot). Then my friend pointed out how Caleb's outfit could work for his dentist au sooo I pulled for crate and locked him back in the photo studio. and then combined the themes. he's so scary I'm having so much fun. what a great way to wrap up Juneleb.

app won't check out from one seller

every time I try to buy this shirt that I want, by itself or bundled with more items, this message comes up.

I used the same payment method to buy from several other sellers, and it went through just fine. But not for the one I want the most.

does anyone know why this happens or how to fix it? I've moved their stuff out of my cart, put it back and tried again for two weeks now. Seller has 5* reviews, and so do I.

u/stitchesinadream — 2 months ago

dentistleb + hatman cable

thought I'd combine the 2 themes that this multibanner gave me! I was only going to pull for the hat but my friend pointed out Caleb's outfit could work for dentist... so we got both.

convince me that Valko isn't Viper-Nero

&#x200B;

I read through both of their world underneath notes before the livestream. I've had this theory for months that Viper and Nero are the same person and would be the 6th Li.

&#x200B;

Today's events have, contrary to the obvious conclusion, given more evidence to support this. and I'm... very conflicted.

&#x200B;

On one hand, I still really want Viper to be the 5th Li. This werewolf thing could be just a myth companion. The name similarity, the "Chasing Darkness" title, when Nero and Viper always chased a light for validation (Lucius / Lumiere), the fact that it's a half moon and Viper and Nero's faces are always half covered, and so was Valko's. Moons reflect the sun, moons have phases...

&#x200B;

It feels like another game where my favorite character had DID and I was only attracted to like, one of his alters. That... feels like what's happening here. I should be happy for my pookie Viper integrating and forging his own path, breaking ties from that cult family, finding security in himself.

&#x200B;

In Viper's TWU notes, he was jealous of Caleb. Insecure. He brought back the girl that Father Lucius wanted. And got scolded for killing her traffickers. Viper was no longer the perfect child. Father had a shiny new toy, and there's Caleb... (who I do like to imagine as friends and that they did get along.But certainly had their fights).

&#x200B;

But Viper and shedding season? There's been discontent among players that the 6th Li wouldn't get his biomedifico evolver card. Well, now that looks like it's in his myth. Viper probably knew the Toring building like.the back of his hand. Nero was down for a desk job.

&#x200B;

Nero's heart alerted his Hunter's Watch when he worried about Lumiere. Viper leaned against a Sophora tree, which is used in TCM for the circulatory system.

&#x200B;

There's also the way that the 6th, Viper-Nero, is Caleb's foil, like a backwards reflection. This post is getting long but I believe that Caleb split physically from MC during the Chronorift Catastrophe, and that he was an alter before then. It explains their memory issues and everything Caleb says,.in the café and arcade, everywhere. I think at the end of their Netherlord lifetime, they chose to reincarnate into the same body. Maybe because MC's soul couldn't handle it. He seems to be rehabilitating his people-eating sister in the main story lifetime as well. I regard Caleb and MC as subsystems, and Caleb is like the protector, gatekeeper...

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

Basically asking for anyone to poke holes in this so I can decide whether to keep saving resources on this guy or pull for my main in the current multi 🫠

&#x200B;

Valko's nose isn't like theirs, but if he wants a new identity... I dunno. Viper was already into modifications. Part of me wants to believe that Valko isn't a part of Viper-Nero. Even though I really wanted him in the café 😭😭

they NEVER take closet advice

I am at my wit's freaking end with these guys. (lmk in the comments if Xavier and Raf are also committing wardrobe sins. I only acquired 2 outfits that I rly like for them so far, so they don't get to dress themselves.)

&#x200B;

i tell them every single time they wear these that I don't like it. and they lie about trying something different the next day. Sometimes it takes ten minutes to even pull up that voiceline. I wish there was a way to text them "never wear this outfit again" or "it's fine but you have a whole closet. forget this one for a few weeks at least."

&#x200B;

they have so so many outfits and accessories. But for some reason it's always these sunglasses. for example, Zayne has both Throne of Eros outfits, and rarely ever wears them. But they come with sunglasses that I think he's chosen only twice. It's been six months.

&#x200B;

Also, please be mindful of the rules. *This post will be deleted if it seems like we are putting Li against each other or ranking them.*

&#x200B;

The point is that it's difficult to tell them about their outfits, and has no effect. Their closets are so full that I don't want them to wear the same thing every day. Which is why I let them dress themselves. And it's always this.

&#x200B;

Plus, with the Lemon Shop, when they do wear something different, it's often an item that I purposely did not get because I don't like it. I wish we could exchange items for gold and they'll go behind everything else, only available once the prize pool has been exhausted.

&#x200B;

Or the ability to order items. We can choose favorites when it comes to the photo studio. Even if we can't change the order, then items unique to one Li should be at the top of the page. Like I want to give Sylus dragon horns without scrolling past 3 pages irrelevant headwear.

&#x200B;

The main motivation for me is outfit collecting honestly. I grind as much as possible and still end up paying for them. And this is the thanks I get 😭😭😭

&#x200B;

if anyone has figured out how to trigger their outfit judgement voicelines, please let me know. it's gotten to a point where instead of changing I just kick them out of the home or café.

&#x200B;

let this luck be contagious bc I don't know what to do with it

I'm still spontaneously combusting over this months later. lmfao so I write a ton of self-indulgent fanfiction with different characters. and someone felt inspired to draw from one of them?? with the one character who I'm attracted to in every way (most f/os are in an aroace relationship or queer platonic thing). and by some coincidence of shading probably, the reader-insert (who I make as vague as possible with body types, hair texture/color etc.) has some specific little traits that are very much how I style myself irl.

&#x200B;

the artist drew this pair several times, but one of the artworks feels like I commissioned yumeship art. it's so sweet and I can't look at them without crying lmfao?? like idek how many months it's been at this point, but I'm never getting over this I fear. it's so everything and I forget that it exists and then I get stupid emotional all over again. what is this. (probably bc I cry at cute videos like bunnies I dunno what that's about)

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

tldr; it feels like I commissioned yumeship art bc by coincidence someone drew art of my otp where the reader-insert looks like me. I feel so feral about it.

is it better to post on a character's birthday?

Is it appreciated to post a fic on their birthday? Or is it no different than waiting until later in the week?

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

I never do events, only just write when inspiration strikes and post when a chapter is done. But out of nowhere the smut demons possessed me and now I have a mostly-written part 2 that was not supposed to exist. but idk whether to lock in and finish that for an imaginary deadline or let myself wait until later.

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

For context, the birthdays are pretty big events in source material, so the fandom kind of dedicates an entire month to uplifting whoever's birthday it is. Which normally just means enjoying a lot of fanart for me and maintaining a random posting schedule tbh.

what is witch hazel with alcohol for?

I bought some for my face, not realizing that it contained alcohol. So it smells weird (not in a good way) and had my skin burnt and peeling like a vampire.

Do you have any favorite uses for this stuff? I don't want to waste it.
