I did pineapple chicken last year because of the game. Will definitely try it again now with the cookbook ❤️

It's June 20th, which means... summer has officially arrived! ☀️

In Our Life, summer is where it all began – where we met Cove, Baxter, Derek, and the unforgettable community of Sunset Bird.

To celebrate, we're thrilled to debut the Our Life Cookbook! Over the last few months, community members have been cooking up a storm, crafting recipes inspired by Our Life: Beginnings & Always. We've gathered their creations into one heartfelt (and 100% free) digital cookbook, made with love, for you.

Thank you to the home cooks that created these recipes, and to you, the community, for continuing to show your love for Our Life.

Ooooo, I was hoping something would drop in the feed.

Salutations.

🖤 You are cordially invited to the celebration of Baxter Ward's birth. 🤍

In honor of this momentous occasion, he requests your reflections. Namely: What do you admire most about him?

Following his birthday, a word cloud of your most frequently used descriptors will be unveiled.

So, do tell: What is it about BW that makes him such a compelling specimen? 🎂

I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!

Our Life: Beginnings and Always had been laying in my "games to play" list for a year before I played it and OMG! I should have played it so much sooner. The good cries, supportive rolemodels and friends - who didn't take me for granted and actually liked me that I found in the characters. It was extremely healing and I said as much in my review after playing it.

“im sorry” “im sorry”

(first pic with dark shades stuff and second is without)

ive said it before and i’ll say it again I WANT THEM TO GET ALONG

Our Life: Ages

Well, as far as I can tell, this is accurate. So, here y'all go I guess!

The colours coincide with the games btw, and their respective Steps from - 1 to 4. BlueGreen for OLBA, GoldOrange for OLNF.

It doesn't have all the ages, but it has most of the relevant ones presently. I'll probably make another one later with the NF parents and extras too, but I just wanted this one for easy reference atm.

Derek: Why are MC and Cove sitting with their backs to each other? Baxter: They had a fight. Derek: Then why are they holding hands? Baxter: They get sad when they fight.

I know this is an incorrect quote. But it's also straight up facts.

Another dress up image..

Found a cute dress up. I like to play a lot of dress up games or do picrews to relax when I'm anxious or bored or get an idea but I don't have time or enough motivation to try and draw it myself. Anyways it reminded me of the Golden Grove trio, well one version of them, and I decided to try and make them. So I made Qiu and Tamamarack(who I and this particular MC affectionatly like to call Timtam after learning it's a candy in Australia) with the first MC I ever made and the one who'll be romancing Qiu - Charlotte "Charlie" O'Brien. Timestamp is probably somewhere between Step 2 or Step 3.

The dressup can be found here:

💯 - Ren is such a cutie!

If someone doesnt make a mod for renee romance route when the game is out i will die i think 🙏

Derek: Okay, I’m going to get the wedding cake. Y/N: Perfect, while you do that I’ll check on the ring bear. Derek: ... Derek: You mean ring bearER, right? Y/N: ... Derek: Look me in the eyes and tell me you are not going to bring a dangerous wild animal to our wedding.

Meet my Our Life MCꜱ

Hello - because of art block anxiety I have resorted to using picrew and I've heard some might not like people using it for their fanart hence my explanation - I'm sorry but I just felt like sharing and this was the way to do it atm. That said - Meet the gang (in order L to R and sort of in step 4 looks):

Zoey Sparrow: She/Her, Bisexual-Heteroromantic romanced Cove Holden.

Claire Ackerman: She/Her, Straight, romanced Derek Suarez.

Riley Lane: She/her, Bisexual -Pansexual leaning, romanced Baxter Ward

Charlotte "Charlie" O'Brien: She/her not sure about her sexuality yet but she will be romancing Qiu Lin.

Elliott J. "Eli" Mars: He/Him. Might go with He/Him/They pronouns as he mature, pansexual over all presenting genderfluid or androgenous . He will romance Tamarack Baumann.

Gonna figure out a way to make proper profile pages for them here so I can add more of the information for everyone more individual.

Derek Suarez Week Day 7: "Derek's Day"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEREK!

The banner read, hanging above their couch in the living room. She had busied herself all morning with fine tuning the little details on the cake she had made for him.

He had looked so sweet almost shy when she'd asked him what type of cake he wanted her to make for him. "Um... could it be a cake with like.... some mango flavors in it? I really love mangos... also... " it had taken him an extra minute to form a last request "Could it be... it's not a problem, in that case you don't have to do it... but... could it be shaped like a uh... a football? Like an American football?"

She felt quite proud of that one, having picked up some more experience since Miranda's birthday party that one time.

The door to their bedroom open with a small creak and the green eyed man of the hour himself shuffled out in his pyjamas with an extreme case of bedhead.

"Get back in your room- I'm not entierly done yet!"

"... I have to pee"

"Fine... but then straight to bed Mister and I'll come and give you breakfast in bed. Do you want a smoothie"

"Ooo smoothies, yes please"

After some of the pressing morning necessities was out of the way Derek rushed back to the warm bed and streched out his long legs. Not long after there was a faint knock on the doorpost and Claire appeared holding a breakfast tray with; pancakes, scrambled eggs, crispy bacon slices, a few apple slices for health and a tall class of strawberry smotie while singing "Happy Birthday" to him.

"So... there are a few things that are planned for today. Like picking up your brothers and their plus ones and then meeting everyone for dinner later tonight. But is there anything special that you wanna do?" She asked after putting the tray down and letting him dig into hid breakfast.

He chewed on his food in silence but she could see he was giving it some thought. "Hmm... Maybe a jog or maybe frisbee golf in the park.. I think that could be fun to do again.. then maybe we could do some pizza and videogames - and cuddles... all the cuddles." He smirked.

Claire smirked back at him and then went to position herself beside him and wrapping her arms around him. The tray moved in an alarming way on the mattress in the process but somehow she avoided spilling anything. She squeezed him gentleman but firm and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

"Anything for you, Derek"
