weird request, but id just like to see moon and boreas interact at all

would've been a weird request if I hadn't gone into a private turbo brainstorm mode about them back in November. there's quite a bit to make them an appealing duo

I really want to do some character building for Camilla (because I love her and am sad about the relative lack of content for her). If you had to name her defining character traits, what would you say they are? Or any unique quirks?

Her full character will be revealed in version 2.0, but she already shows some character traits in my opinion:

Spoiled. In a interview with FlashShifter, when showing the Castle Village concept and mentioning Camilla's tower, he said that "naturally, her tower is in the best part of town". Camilla always gets what she wants, whether someone serves it to her on a silver platter or she takes it herself. The best fabric for her dresses imbued with magic, the best artifacts that are still accessories for her. This woman knows how to live luxuriously.

Powerful and determined. Even with great magical talent, it takes willpower and character building to be as successful as Camilla has been. I don't know for sure if she is the official (or unofficial) ruler of Castle Village, but the fact that she is the only one who has the power to decide who enters through her barrier speaks to the immense power and authority she has achieved through hard work.

Childish/frivolous. We'll definitely be shown more serious character traits of Camilla in the future, but she's controversial in most of the available cutscenes. When Magnus first mentioned Camilla as the sorceress with the strongest and biggest barrier, I envisioned a rather serious and reserved woman in her emotions. In events, on the other hand, she seems more like a young bitch witch who doesn't care much about what she says or does. This woman changed the ecosystem by adding a new species of fish to the Stardew Valley.... for fun. Etiquette rules? What is that - we'll just tease the unfamiliar Farmer the first time we meet them, or just steal them from the farmhouse!

Caring. Despite her malicious and capricious nature, Camilla genuinely cares for her friends and loved ones, as well as all the villagers. Perhaps her frivolous behavior is a shell under which she hides the kind and vulnerable part of herself. Maybe she's used to hiding that side behind jokes and a bit of vulgar behavior, because during her rise up the career ladder she had quite a few competitors who also wanted power and wouldn't hesitate to exploit Camilla's weakness. Or maybe they already had. And in the end Camilla had to show them all that mistaking her kindness for weakness was their biggest fuck up.

I also think one of her quirks could be her unpredictability and sudden change of character. She could be drinking tea and joking around with someone, and a minute later her interlocutor would be in jail or worse. She can dramatically change someone's life for better or worse with a snap of her fingers, and nothing will happen to her. Btw, impunity allows her to do whatever she wants. Of course, she does not go too far, but sometimes she can use her cunning and guile to achieve something. Especially if it's a matter of life or death for someone dear to her. I won't call her corrupt, but she clearly has quite a few minor infractions behind her.

When I was early on in my transition I got in a Lyft, and the driver was this big country guy. I was a little nervous so I just sat quietly in the back.

After a moment he changed the music on his phone to what sounded like a Hatsune Miku song. Curiosity got the better of me, so I finally spoke up and said “is this Hatsune Miku?”

And he said “Yep. You looked uncomfortable, and I know Transgender women like Hatsune Miku, so I thought it might help.”

I think about that interaction a lot.

what annoys me about explaining evolution to people who don’t think it’s real is that everyone’s idea of how it works seems to be from this

Whereas the reality is far more like

my most toxic trait is i fucking love work gossip. i play neutral not to be the bigger person or take the high road but to hear slander and hearsay from every side. two coworkers complained about each other to me in the same afternoon and i nearly blacked out from the rush

I spent a lot of time handcuffed and in a cage in high school, for a charity bit the grocery store I worked at would do

the bit was that I was "put in jail for having too big a heart" and customers could donate to my bail to get me out (and the money would go to a children's hospital or something)

now. I was very clearly a teenaged employee handcuffed inside a large cage. and I would honestly tell people that I had been in there for hours. and people would say, that's terrible! that's awful! and I would show them my wrists red from the tight handcuffs, and say but I'm sooooooo close to making bail.

and then they would dump some cash in the basket, I'd thank them, and they'd walk away.

and every so often, one of the managers would come by and collect some of the cash, so I could keep being soooooo close to making bail.

I was very good with this bit. Parents with small kids would pay $5-10 if I told their children I had been placed in jail for not cleaning my room/doing my homework, etc. For people in their 20s, I'd threaten that I was very bad at playing the harmonica, but I WOULD play it and we'd all suffer unless they paid me. and for the most amount of money, older men in suits would almost always pay $20s if I avoided eye contact and stammered a lot.

eventually, the managers started to feel bad because I was in the cage so fucking long and often, that I'd need someone to brace me when I got out because I'd have no feeling in my legs. wobbling like a newborn giraffe.

but I would also rake in at LEAST $100 an hour in charity.

so they were like, hey champ. can we, uh, give you a pillow to sit on. in the cage. would you like a pillow so you're not just sitting on a cold metal slab. can we give you a pillow.

and I had to explain to them that if they gave me a pillow, people would think I was more comfortable, so they wouldn't feel as bad, so I'd bring in less money.

the compromise was that they'd bring me a nice coffee every couple hours, which I would have to try to block with my body from the customers.

all this money went to charity. that's what the money was for. it's what was on the sign. but how much they were willing to pay was very contingent on how comfortable I looked, never mind the fact that I was still a teenaged employee handcuffed inside a cage.

and out of the dozens of shifts I did this on, not ONCE did ANYONE say, hey kid I'm going to go talk to your manager because what the fuck is going on here. they would just drop money in the basket, and I'd thank them and sip from my secret drink.

I actually had people get MAD at me that I told them I was far away from bail, they donated like $15, and then 20 minutes I got let out because my shift ended.

again. the money was for charity. it was on the sign that was very clearly placed on the upper half of my cage.

so yeah. even when people think they mean well. people can be really, really fucking stupid.
