Asteroid Born (13954) 🍏🍎: “Why the apple doesn’t fall so far from the tree 🍄‍🟫”

How you were conceived + Why were you born into this lifetime 🏡♥️🥧

Aries Born / Born in the 1st House:

You are very courageous and bold when it comes to your self expression. Your parents might have considered you as a “busy body” and always had to keep you entertained as an infant. Probably one of those babies who would make funny expressions when they were mad. During pregnancy, your mother could have dealt with a lot of kicking, heartburns, and/or tummy aches. Childbirth as well may have hurt or been difficult due to you having a larger head as a baby (oops!). I see the parents being relatively active during pregnancy, perhaps your parents went to the gym or played sports still. You were born into this world to discover your unique individuality and coming to terms with your identity. Some of you must learn how to embrace all parts of yourself whether that is your physical appearance, sexuality, or personality. Were you raised to feel shame or had to hide some parts of yourself? How can you approach these factors in everyday life? Practicing self validation instead of seeking it from an outside source would be helpful. Focus on establishing a routine of self love and confidence in everyday life, this will attract the most success. Engaging in exercise activities for children such as dodgeball, double dutch, or hopscotch could help you reconnect to your inner child.

Taurus Born / Born in the 2nd house:

Ahhh the spoiled babies. You guys had it all when you were born. Very lavish and comfy childbirth. Your mothers could have gained a lot of weight and ate very yummy foods during pregnancy. Refined palettes with the exception of late snacks and cheeses (I bet these moms would ask people to have a glass of wine for them lol). Your mother could have been feeling very lazy and lethargic, very much so a couch potato. I also see them receiving compliments on how beautiful they look pregnant. I even see the dads gaining weight and getting a dad bod out of support for the mom lol. It is likely you were sensitive to touch when you were born, needing a security blanket or something soft to make you feel safe and protected. Your purpose in life is to understand that money is a wonderful tool but it cannot solve all of your problems. You have to reflect on your values and how you can provide a secure and stable home to yourself. It also important to realize what you are prioritizing in life. Do you have a follow a diet? Are you putting others before your own needs? Do you want to be successful in life but are not implementing healthy habits into your routine? Write a list of goals that you would like to accomplish and figure out methods to make these things come to life, while also keeping your mind stimulated so you won’t fall back in laziness and self sabotaging habits.

Gemini Born / Born in the 3rd House:

Yappers! These babies learned to speak at a few months old. It is likely they were very vocal as infants and could express themselves very easily. Your parents could have had a duality to themselves, which may have resulted in uneasiness or not sure which side of them you were seeing that day. I also interpret this as having parents that switched roles or don’t follow gender stereotypes (E.G: stay at home dad / working mom or having queer parents, etc). You may also have a twin! During pregnancy, your mother could have had many mood swings or experienced a lot of anxiety. I also see this as experiencing butterflies and talking a lot out of nervousness. Their conversations were engaging and interesting. Your parents could have even spoken to you while you were still in your mother’s tummy or played music for you to hear. In this lifetime, you were tasked with developing a community. Some of you are very smart but have difficulty forming connections with others or you are so comfortable speaking your mind that you don’t realize it can come off as blunt at times. Listen, we know you’re intelligent but sometimes you need to hear wisdom from other people in order grow in certain areas. If you have a sibling, you can rely on that bond with them to seek advice, they can help you understand a situation better. Since you have a dynamic personality, you can use your gift to communicate with individuals with different identities.

Cancer Born / Born in the 4th house:

The need to retreat and be at home is a prominent theme here. During pregnancy, your mother could have needed time alone or preferred to stay in the comfort of their home. Your parents could have prioritized privacy and shied away from being around new people besides family members. The childbirth was an intimate and emotional moment for your parents. Your birth could have been at home as well. Whoever was considered family was also in the room when you were born. As an infant you may have needed more physical touch and cried consistently. These babies are likely to be at the hip or maybe even slept in the same room as their parents. There is a strong attachment to your family. In this lifetime you are meant to discover your ancestral lineage and establish a strong connection with relatives. Parenthood could be significant in your life as well if you choose to have children. You are meant to act as a nurturing figure in other people's lives. If you are not close with your family, then it is likely you need to understand what family means to you. Sometimes family can be our friends, pets, or our partner, whichever you decide - there is no right or wrong way to love someone.

Leo Born / Born in the 5th house:

The star of the family. I'm seeing this placement as having social media parents or your mom going viral for pregnancy vlogs. Your birth could have been very talked about or you were adored by family for being popular or cute as a baby. Maybe some of you even did commercials or modeled when you were really young, I also see this apply to your parents. Your parents could have felt even more creative during pregnancy, like maybe your mother painted, sung, or danced more. I also see this as a surprise baby or the way you were conceived was considered a blessing. For some of you, your parents could have been trying for a baby and were so excited to finally have you. There is a lot of focus on joy and celebration. Some of you had parents who threw a gender reveal party or had a big baby shower. You were born into this world to play, I feel that this could be difficult for this placement, since the world can bring us down at times but your energy is whats needed. You need to express yourself and let go of the worries that is holding you back. Have fun, play games, be silly, and just do whatever hobbies that allows you to be be free. I also see that working with children or interacting with the children in your family will increase your happiness. Lastly, take a lighthearted approach to love, enjoy the wonders of romance without the over complications of it.

Virgo Born / Born in the 6th house:

Health was an important factor to your parents when it came to conceiving a child. Perhaps one of your parents was infertile? Or suffered from some kind of illness that made the pregnancy difficult. Your mother could have been more prone to morning sickness such as vomiting or nausea. I also see that they had a routine, they could have had to balance work while also being pregnant. Animals were significant as well. So your parents possibly turned to a pet for comfort or realized they were pregnant because of a pet. For some of you, your mother could have been the type to clean before giving birth. Something about cleaning or being tidy to feel more prepared. As a baby, you could have sneezed a lot or gotten colds. Your immune system was often compromised and this concerned your parents. You could have had your immunization shots early on. This is something your parents were not going to argue about lol. In this lifetime, you need to take care of all aspects of your health - physical, mental, and emotional health. You also need a routine, you can be disorganized at times, and require a set system to keep you on the right track. Also romanticizing the little things would help you appreciate life. You could often overlook what's right in front of you and disregard living in the moment, you have so much abundance right in front of you. Having plants or keeping a pet would help provide a safe space. Also engaging in light exercise, offering to be of service to people, and meditation will ease your anxiety.

Libra Born / Born in the 7th house:

Made with love lol. Your parents were very much so enamored with each other when you were conceived. Its giving "I know their parents high five every time they see what they made". You could have been considered a very beautiful baby or received a lot of compliments from people. Your parents as well had a nice maternity shoot. Your mother was very radiant and glowing, probably had rosy cheeks and everything. You may look to your parents for when you need an example on love and what to look for in relationships. Your parents saw each other as equals or followed traditional roles. Some of you could also have parents who work in law so they could care a lot about appearances and maintaining a good image. It is important that you learn the difference between love and superficial attraction. You are adored by many but because of that adoration it could potentially lead you to not go past a surface level. Share the parts of yourself that is most beautiful, such as your kindness, and fairness towards others. The way you treat people makes them feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Your relationship with others as well as yourself is important to your self development. Working in business or giving back to your support system could give you a new perspective.

Scorpio Born / Born in the 8th house:

This placement has an interesting aura to it. Some of these babies could be an only child or something about the way they were born was transformative. It is possible a family member died before or after you were born, there had to be a loss before you could be conceived. Your mother could have felt that childbirth was traumatic and could of put her in a state of shock, or even dealt with a near death experience. The overall experience of pregnancy was very intense for your parents. It was definite that you would be the last baby to be born because of such factors. You could have also been given an inheritance or were indebted to someone or something. It is possible that you were next in line such as an heir to a family business or lived in a home that passed down for many generations. There might have been paranormal activities when you were born or you were like those babies that would laugh randomly when nothing was there, possibly seeing spirits. Being accepting of change will make things easier in your life. It is likely that you resist transformation due to how deeply you feel your emotions, it can be triggering and exhausting. Try to have a positive outlook on the changes of your life and realize the blessings in the lessons you have experienced. Sex could be a healing factor in your life or it is a way to find pleasure in engaging with your senses.

Sagittarius Born / Born in the 9th house:

It is likely that these babies were born while their parents were traveling or they even could have been adopted. Your mother was likely traveling when she gave birth to you or had to give birth in public. For some of you, your mother was pregnant as she went to college or often went to church. Your parents were very wise and philosophical. There could have been a midwife or doula present during your birth. You may also be of a diverse background, so you may have lived in different places as infant or was exposed to different identities. I also interpret this as possibly having older parents or your parents have an old soul. You are an intelligent person. It is time for you to practice the wisdom in everyday life. You are philosophical, wise, and multi-cultured but you lack in practicing what you preach. You have to be open minded and optimistic when it comes to learning new things. Traveling, reading philosophy, praying to spirit or a deity, or having in depth conversations with people would provide clarity in your life. You need to experience spiritual refreshment in order to continue to feel peace. Study more!!! The answers you seek is in the knowledge that you already have. You are missing out on great opportunities when you choose not to use your resources.

Capricorn Born / Born in the 10th house:

You may come from a prestigious family or they are known for having a reputable reputation. Your parents could work for a well known company and have a higher position. Very business savvy individuals. Your mother could have worked despite being pregnant and had to face discrimination for it, or I see her taking a comfortable maternity leave thanks to the other parent being the financial provider. Your father could be someone who is strict or has high expectations as well. As a baby, you were self sufficient and independent. You did not require as much attentive care as other babies did. Although, this may have affected your attachment style. You could be avoidant when it comes to expressing emotions and when it comes to difficult feelings you focus on work instead. You were meant to be the boss in this lifetime. Your work ethic comes from your genetics. You have the drive and motivation that many people don’t have. It is important that you learn to follow your intuition and realize that you need to also seek what provides emotional fulfillment. You are responsible and dedicated to those around you as well as your career. Make sure to not overly sacrifice your well being for the sake of others. It is okay to take breaks and focus on your own happiness. Being more grounded with reality and your emotions is necessary for your self development and creating discipline.

Aquarius Born / Born in the 11th house:

The way these babies were conceived could be non-traditional. Your parents could have had a one night stand or had sex after only knowing each other for a weeks (or even months). Definitely an unexpected child or you were not planned. Your mother would have weird cravings or eat odd food combinations. Her personality was also deemed as quirky or her behavior seemed peculiar. Your mother also could have dressed differently or had unique maternity clothes. Your parents’ social life could have boomed after having children, making connections with family, or met new friends. Some of you could have parents who are well known on the internet. These babies have the potential of being internet stars or memes. Growing up, you may have felt ostracized and did not feel welcome in most places. Your goal in life is to learn how to rebel again the norm and embrace being unique by tapping into your individuality. Also learning how to make friends or establishing connections with others, even if it seems difficult. You were meant to have a social circle that will be there to teach you wisdom and give you guidance when needed. The longevity of these friendships is not what’s important but the lessons that comes with them. Once you are able to accept yourself and all the perks that comes with it, you will be able to reach better opportunities. Using technology as a tool could assist you with your goals.

Pisces Born / Born in the 12th house:

Childbirth could have been a spiritual experience for your mother. It is likely she already knew she would be pregnant before she even realized. Your parents are very intuitive, they even had dreams about you before you were born. When your mother was pregnant, she felt very emotional and in tune with what you were feeling. I believe these parents would go to Lamaze together or some sort of meditative exercise to make sure that the birth was at least peaceful and safe. Some of you had a water birth or were born near watery places such as the ocean, a pool, etc. A doula or midwife was likely to be present as well. As a child, you were very dreamy and creative. You are very expressive and have a great imagination. You were blessed in this lifetime with psychic abilities or great empathy. You are able to read the room and give people the safe space that they need. Your energy is very comforting and serene. I believe because of your sensitive nature it is likely for you to fall in codependent relationships. It is crucial that you learn to set boundaries and separate fantasy from reality. Take your time to get to know people before you see the “best” in them. You also need to realize you are not a victim but a person who has overcome hardships. Whatever you went through in the past does not apply to you now, you have the freedom of choice, and you get to decide who you want to be. Use your intuition and manifest your goals by connecting with your higher self. Do not allow people, especially partners to “manic pixie dream girl” you.

Reviewing Horse Picrews - Part 1

Check out: Part 2 here, Part 3 here

A brief review of every horse Picrew dollmaker I could find! (The small exception being any generic MLP G4 pony makers.)

I'll be trying to create an either sunbleached black / seal brown / liver chestnut horse in each one (my favourite coats), as well as one or two more exciting horse designs, showcasing the options.

(These Picrews are created by people in their free time without getting paid, so let's remember that and respect the artists!) ------------------------------------------------------------

⬆️ Horse Designer by shadowscar00 Rating: 🥕🥕🥕⚫⚫ 3/5 carrots + tasty apples 🍎🍏 A neat little horse maker! Decent variety to create different realistic coats, and some fantasy colour options too. Enjoyable and cute.

⬆️ 🐴horsesona maker🐴 by thereisteainmyshoes Rating: 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕 5/5 carrots + gold star ⭐ This one has amazing variety. Horse expressions, colours and styles, accessories and details, backgrounds and bonus effects. Really great for both cute regular horsies and humanoid ones. My only minor criticism is that the brown nose and brown mane colours don't have a match... other than that I love it.

⬆️ Equine Creator Vol. 1 by The.LastValkyrie Rating: 🥕🥕🥕🥕⚫ 4/5 carrots + epic flames 🔥🔥🔥 There's a ton of options here, both realistic and fantasy! The reason it's not a full 5/5 is because the experience is a bit confusing, it doesn't use the built-in colour option system and the thumbnails can be hard to understand. But if you fiddle with it for a bit you can make very cool horses.

⬆️ Horse Maker by TTMVStaff Rating: 🥕🥕🥕⚫⚫ 3/5 carrots + shiny sparkle ✨ This is apparently a maker for an RP called Through The Misty Valley. There's a decent amount of realistic options, definitely enough to make a pretty horse! This one is also a little confusing with thumbnails and not using the built-in colour system. The backgrounds look suspiciously like AI imo.

⬆️ Foal maker by TTMVStaff Rating: 🥕🥕🥕⚫⚫ 3/5 carrots + baby bonus 🍼💘 Pretty much same as above but foal version. The backgrounds again look suspiciously like AI. But, the foals are pretty cute and there are decent customisation options for realistic coats! (The "free lineart" credit in these makes me think the lineart artist may not have had anything to do with the Picrews, as a note.)

⬆️ Handheld Horse Production Farm by 木兎 Rating: 🥕🥕🥕🥕⚫ 4/5 carrots + sweet pudding 🍮 Make a little horse that you could hold in your hand! There aren't a ton of options here, but the horses are very cute and huggable. This one also doesn't use the built-in colour system, but the thumbnails are easy enough to grasp quickly, so it wasn't a problem.

⬆️ Horse OC maker by BeelYourself (Picrew user PorcelainBee) Rating: 🥕🥕🥕⚫⚫ 3/5 carrots + fun lollipop 🍭 Many realistic options for coat colour and details. There's only one option for mane and tail style, and no accessories or backgrounds, and it was a bit confusing that thumbnails use words instead of images (as a visual person - and it makes it less accessible for different languages). But, the horses look cool!

⬆️ 46-style Favourite Horse Maker by n046 Rating: 🥕🥕🥕🥕⚫ 4/5 carrots + teddybear 🧸 This one is adorable, another one where the design makes up for the slight lack of options for coat details and such. It doesn't use the built-in colour system, but was easy enough to use. I want to hug them.

⬆️ Stick Ponies by Sodateru Rating: 🥕🥕⚫⚫⚫ 2/5 carrots + pens and crayons ✏️🖍️ The creator's note says that it's mostly a Twilight Sparkle clone maker right now, which is pretty true based on there only being one mane and tail style. But there are lots of colours to choose from and different hair colour effects, so you can still make a cute little stick pony.

⬆️ Race Horse Maker by Ninjinfactory Rating: 🥕🥕⚫⚫⚫ 2/5 carrots + a nice flower 🌼 It's a pretty simple one, not that many options to choose from, but the expressions are charming so it's still a cute horse. It also doesn't make use of the built-in colour system and the thumbnails could be hard to see, but since there weren't that many options, it was still easy to use.

⬆️ Wasteland Pony Dress Up Game by uhohkiya Rating: 🥕🥕⚫⚫⚫ 2/5 carrots + crispy bacon 🥓 I'm not sure if this is for a fandom or the creator's original setting, but you get to pick a few options for dressing up 3 different horses, like the simpler kind of old character dressup games. The horses are cute, but there isn't much to customise.

⬆️ Anthro Pony Maker by BabyBunnyBab Rating: 🥕🥕🥕⚫⚫ 3/5 carrots + waffles 🧇 It's hard to make a regular-looking horse in this one, but if you want to make a colourful anthro horse with fangs, you're in the right place! It partially doesn't and partially does use the built-in colour system, but the thumbnails were easy to understand. There are some minor artefacts around the edge of the feathering. But, overall it's a cute anthro with a decent amount of options.

⬆️ Supported Horse Icon Maker☆ by Riu (in the sense, the horse you're supporting in races / being a fan of) Rating: 🥕🥕🥕🥕⚫ 4/5 carrots + a little treat 🍬 There aren't that many options, but the design is really cute. For the purpose of representing the race horse you're backing, it has what you need. It's always interesting seeing how much of Japanese horse culture has to do with racing rather than other equestrianism.

⬆️ Horsemaker by Hajen14 (@hajen14 on Tumblr!) Rating: 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕 5/5 carrots + strawberry cake 🍰 This is the first one where I really felt I was making a seal brown horse. There aren't any accessories or extras, but the extensive coat patterns and colours, and mane and tail options, is more than enough to stand on its own. If you want to design a realistic horse coat with a lot of detail options, this one is for you!

Opal McIntosh & Granny Smith 🍎🍏

Hello, Hello! I'm back with another post!

So, It's about time I add on to my fruit flavored sims, and the new additions are... Opal McIntosh And Granny Gala Smith, they are very obviously based on apples.

Opal is a bookworm, and is considered boring by her grandma, who was a wild child at her age, and Granny Smith is retired and somewhat bitter, she hates that people only look at her age and not her accomplishments.

Opal is friends with Neru and Yasmine, she gets along very well those two, and she somewhat knows Lennon and Lima.

P.S, They should come with the CC used.

This Here Package contains: 1 Sour Granny, 1 Sweet Apple.

I don’t remember where i got all the CC but a ton of it should be on my CC reblog account @ohcrapitsccfinds​ so head on over there for some CC!

Thanks to all the CC creators whose CC i used, ya’ll are grand and I love your work!

Characters

character summary below the cut

Strawberry Shortcake 🍓 🍰 🍓 Strawberry is a berry sweet girl though a little oblivious and naïve After mostly raising herself she has gained a need to be around others, to make friends, but she also has a rather evident lack of social skills. She is most unusual in one particular manner Most Berries, when they find their recipes, their name and very essence, tend to stop baking. They will still make their dish and some others with their own berry, but other than that and their future partners dish they have no desire to learn more Strawberry Shortcake however wants to learn how to bake all recipes She's a baker, what kind of baker can only make one dish? Recipes and berries define a Berry on a personal level, to achieve Strawberry's baking goal she's also achieving her friendship goal She wants to be surrounded by different berries and different desserts and learn all about them So in doing this weird action she's bringing a community garden together that wouldn't really exist without her

Apple Dumplin 🍎 🥟 🍏 Apple is a young but headstrong little girl who loves her family but cant wait to explore the world on her own When Strawberry found her Apple Dumplin wasn't a baby blossom anymore, a child, a toddler even yes, but in the society they live in she had found who she is, her very recipe, and can survive on her own, she doesn't need to be taught how to survive Strawberry took her in anyways because they were both lonely But heres the thing, Apple is more aware than strawberry She understands how society works, can easily survive in it, and can pick up on social cues She wants to live with strawberry though because she shouldn't have to take care of herself, she likes Strawberry's philosophy that you should take care of each other She becomes Strawberry's little sister but in a big way helps raise strawberry as much as strawberry raises her She picks up on social cues her sister doesnt and can direct strawberry out of the way Because they're family

Huckleberry Pie 🫐🥧 🫐 Huck is an adventurous free spirit who encourages everyone to go outside the box while making sure they're still comfortable Huckleberrys origin bush, the very thing that gave him life, was by a river so when he was born he was dropped in and floated down the current for a long time before he woke up He is still connected to his bush but has never actually seen it And so his whole life he been wandering upstream trying to find his bush, his home Huck loves stories and adventures, ecspecially about people finding their place since he has always felt alone When he gets to Berry Valley he originally intended to keep heading upstream after he hung out for a while The others were supportive, his origins were tragic but not unheard of and its normal for a berry his age to be out on his own Strawberry however asked if would like to stay here and be part of her family And Huck decided his bush wasn't going anywhere, its survived without him all this time, it can wait a little longer And to be honest He was kinda giving up hope anyways He could have made a wrong turn fifteen forks ago and neve known hes been going in the wrong direction So he stays in the valley with the plans to one day maybe go searching again in the future And he becomes strawberry and apples brother

Orange Blossom 🍊🌼🍊 Orange is a rather shy girl who always pushes herself to be braver and bolder Orange Blossom doesn't have a name She's a Blossom, someone who never found their recipe While Strawberry found hers and still wants to try new flavors Orange never found did and is ok with it She wasn't always, for years she tried every combination possible, but she never could find that one specific flavor, that one dish that defined her It was a major source of stress and made her constantly question her identity It took meeting Strawberry, for her to accept herself She has no recipe but that doesnt mean she has no sense of self, It just means for her the possibilities are endless She is Strawberrys first friend, her berry best friend While Strawberry is stuck in a box she refuses to stay in, orange has no box so she can do anything They respect and are a little jealous of each others opportunities and because of that they understand each other in ways no one else can

Raspberry Tart 🍇🥧🍇 Raspberry is a confident, blunt, no nonsense kind of gal with a protective streak for those she loves Raspberry Tart immediately hated Strawberry Shortcake She was sweet and oblivious and friendly and had clearly never seen a single conflict she couldn't solve with a smile She was Raspberry's rival The thing is, Strawberry doesn't really do rivals? She sees everyone, even actual enemies, as friends with a different label to categorize them new, potential, close, sibling, best, A rival friend is something Strawberry had never really done before But Raspberry pushed her to better herself, to be less oblivious, to bake better, to stand up for herself In return Strawberry pushed her to open up, to be kinder, get better at her own interests Lemon and Strawberry helped the other Berries see past Raspberry's bitter exterior and to her sweet core She still hates Strawberry, but in the way were she knows Strawberry can be better and shes going to force her to get there

Lemon Meringue 🍋 🥧🍋 Lemon is very sweet girl though she is constantly worried she is only hiding how sour she truly is. Because of how she was raised Lemon is very self conscious and has a bad habit of letting people walk all over her Lemon didn't have the best upbringing, having to share everything with her sister Lime While not born from the same Origin Tree they were raised together and so similar in looks you would almost think they were twins Twins who were extraordinarily envious of each other While Lemon had her own talents, a love of gardening, painting, and mechanics, she felt shadowed by her sisters popularity and skills Lemon ended up simply giving everything she had to her sister in hopes it would stop her sister from constantly taking more Instead her sister took so much that all was left was Raspberry Tart, the only person who saw through Limes acting skills and stayed by Lemon Eventually Lemon and Raspberry packed up and moved to a small valley where they met people who accepted them for who they were and wanted to be their friend

Plum Puddin 🍑🍮🍑 Plum has a very dry and quick witted personality While incredibly book smart they have a hard time with social cues and unlike Strawberry they are quite aware they are often out of their depth, instead hiding it under a layer of sarcastic humor While they like to claim they have no need for emotions Plum can be quite passionate in the things that interest them They love to read and learn new things, though they have a low tolerance for fantasy novels, and can memorize anything after seeing it once They often team up with Lemon, understanding the theory while she builds the actual machines, but does not get along with Blueberry very well as her reading taste leans toward fiction The one person who they truly understand is their long distance partner TN Honey

Blueberry Muffin 🫐🧁🫐 Blueberry is soft spoken and very sheltered, she tends to have her head in the clouds Blueberry grew up all alone in an old mansion deep in the woods She learned of the world through a massive library of books, never seeing another person until the group stumbles on her house and mistakes her for a ghost After a life of never seeing another living person this declaration sends Blueberry into philosophical spiral about life until Huck manages to calm her down and help her outside to prove she wasn't a ghost The two share a love of stories and Huck helps her learn more about the world by going on adventures with her while making sure she never gets overwhelmed

Angel Foodcake 😇 🎂😇 Angel is an absolute perfectionist who claims to be the perfect angel Despite her claims her need for everything to be in its exact perfect place tends to make bossy and quick tempered when people break her rules She despises every flaw, especially ones in herself leading to intense self loathing and denial She is especially self conscious about her origin plant being a vanilla bean, denying all allegations and instead claiming one as perfect as herself could only come from angels themselves Because of this she is especially envious of Strawberry who is confident in everything she does, even the things she shouldn't, and how everyone loves her for it Despite her denials her need for perfection ended up affecting her work to the point she couldn't create anything out of fear it wouldn't fit her impossible standards It was only once her friends helped her realize differences in berrys is what makes a variety of flavor that Angel was able to slowly start to create again She still struggles with her and others flaws, but now that she accepts them she no longer despises herself and others

Since I’m new here, time to introduce my baby! (and use lots of silly emoji)

🍎 The Apple Mage 🍎

Is a game I’m currently conceptualizing and developing about an Applekin named Red, and her quest to save her Granny from the evil Doctor Cyanides clutches!

Here’s all of the protagonists lined up!

🍎 Red and Granny 🍏

🍎 Red was "picked" from the Great Tree by a hermit she likes to call Granny Smith. She's a lover of all things magic after growing up in the presence of a literal master. She aims to be just like her when she grows up but she’s a little clumsy with her magic. Hey, she's trying her best! The rhythm of the earth is a just a little hard to follow sometimes! (Did I mention magic is dance based? It is) She cares a ridiculous amount about family and isn’t quite as meek as she looks when it comes to protecting the people she cares about! She’s not always happy though. Lately, she’s been plagued with dreams of other lives.

🍏 Granny The locals though seem to think Granny is just a weird reclusive hermit, but she knows much more about things than she lets on. She protects the Great Tree, the tree that births all Applekin and also the one that grants them their “immortality” through a kind of reincarnation. It has to be protected because without it, Applekin cease to exist. She’s also incredibly overbearing to Red, and a lot overprotective. It seems like her priorities are straight at least, but there’s definitely a few loose screws in there! She’s your typical eccentric grandma.

😞 Despite Granny’s pleas for her not to leave home, Red still wants to go out there and learn how to master magic! She enrolls in a school that can teach her just how. Magic comes naturally to all Applekin, but an Apple Mage makes it their whole life's work to study the inner workings of their magic.

Synopsis

(I’m really trying to not spoil anything here!)

When Red is caught in an earthquake on the way to her first day of classes, she rushes back home to check on granny. What she finds leads her into a quest to find her grandma, and ultimately save the world.

She also meets these cool characters 👀

😤 Crabby is a jaded manager of a family diner. She's always craved adventure though, and doesn't care for food service. She's the kinda person to fight rather than flee, and sometimes she picks the fights too!

👶 Jonagold is a lil cutie who got lost in the scuffle of the earthquake from his mother. He joins the team to find her, and tries to master his premature magic powers on the way.

And there's a lot more! There's only so much I can really say without spoiling it, so just want to share the general idea with everyone because I love this thing! It's been through a lot of medium changes, it was first a show pitch and then a comic and now l've just decided to make a whole rpg about it! It'll be in development for years to come but want people to be excited for it, so I post art and things for it from time to time just to keep folks interested!

Anyway, thank you for reading! 🍎
