Sims 4: Studio Ghibli Legacy Challenge

This will be a challenge based solely on Studio Ghibli movies! Well, some of them at least! This was made assuming that DLCs such as Vampires, Island Living and various others are owned by the player! If that is not the case, no problem! You can adjust the rules of the challenge depending on how you can play your game! If you have no StrangerVille but Get To Work instead then you can have Nausicaä become a police officer or scientist or even doctor instead! You are not bound by the rules if you do not have the necessary DLCs to go with for them! ❤

Gen 1: Nausicaä of the Valley of The Wind

Character: Nausicaä

„Warrior and pacifist Princess Nausicaä desperately struggles to prevent two warring nations from destroying themselves and their dying planet.“

Traits: Loves Outdoors, Good, Self-assured

Aspiration: StrangerVille Mystery

The 1st Generation of this Challenge will be based on Nausicaä! And what better way to show this strong princess‘ skills and help her prevent the destruction of two nations and her planet than to stop whatever is happeninv in StrangerVille?

Your Goal:

Despite being a princess, since this is the first generation you will start from the very bottom. You must first earn a reputation and have enough funds to even tackle the horrors that await you in the future. As such your mission is to…

- Make at least 5 friends and 1 best friend that you can only meet in StrangerVille.

- Raise your charisma skill to at least lvl 4, logic to lvl 3 and fitness to lvl 5

- Join the Military as a means to „gain access“ to the secret lab once you have reached those skill lvls

- Now you must uncover the secrets of StrangerVille and save the town

- Romance is optional, however, you must have one child to carry on the child.

- Raise the baby until it reaches the stage of a child and you can continue with Gen 2.

Gen 2: Castle in The Sky

Character: Sheeta

Extra Characters: Colonel Musk, Dola, Motro, Louis, Charles and Henri

„A young boy and a girl with a magic crystal must race against pirates and foreign agents in a search for a legendary floating castle.“

Traits: Paranoid (Child) -> Loner (Teen) -> Perfectionist (Young Adult)

Aspiration: Whiz Kid (Child) -> Archaeology Scholar (Teen/Young Adult)

Your Goal:

Originally you grew up alongside your mother Nausicaä, however, tragedy would soon strike when you became an orphan and were left to fend for yourself at your home in StrangerVille… until you were captured by a man known as Colonel Muska and taken away by him from your home. As such, growing up in such a situation is not easy at all and your goal is to change these things!

- You will spend a long time growing up under Colonel Muska’s watchful eye. As such you are unable to leave the house unless it is together with him or when you have to go to school.

- You are unable to make any friends nor can you use a phone or pc to communicate with the outside world. If you are caught by Colonel Muska, he and Sheeta will have to argue about it.

- As a child you should do your best to max out your Mental or Creativity Skill since it is otherwise hard to max out Motor and Social skills with Colonel Musk around.

- Once you have maxed out one of these skills (or both) things seem to slowly get better when the „Dola Gang“ finally appear in the hideout Colonel Musk has kept you hidden for so long. You must either approach Dola, her husband Motro or one of her sons (Louis, Charles or Henri), once you have done so, they will take you away and take you to their home.

- Due to them all being in the Criminal Career, you should still work hard to befriend all of them. Which means you should socialize with each one of the Dola Gang members and become close to them.

- Once you become a teen and have won over the trust of the Dola Gang (maxed relationship with all of them), you can finally travel to Selvadorada with them because as it turns out you are the key to exploring the various secrets the ruins there hold. Your new goal is to explore all of Selvadorada (or „Laputa“ if we want to stay close to Studio Ghibli with the name) and uncover all the truths about it there are.

- Max out the Archeaology Aspiration and you have completed the main goals of this generation.

- To carry on the legacy, help Sheeta find love and have two daughters with them.

Gen 3: My Neighbor Totoro

Character: Satsuki (Older Sister), Mei (Younger Sister)

„When two girls move to the country to be near their ailing mother, they have adventures with the wondrous forest spirits who live nearby.“

Traits: Neat, Hot-headed, Family-Oriented (Satsuki) & Childish, Goofball, Cheerful (Mei)

Aspiration: Inner Peace (Satsuki) & Friend of the Animals (Mei)

Your Goal:

This time it will be a little harder because this Generation will be centered around two characters. You will be playing both Satsuki and Mei from „My Neighbor Totoro“. However, their challenge only starts once Satsuki is a young adult and Mei is a teen or also a young adult - you get to decide which age Mei should have for this.

- Growing up under the loving care of your parents, both you and your sister are finally ready to tackle life. However, things are not always as easy and simple as they seem. As such, you begin your journey moving out of your family home together and move to a new lot which must have the traits Spooky, Island Spirits and Gnomes.

- Due to Mei being a Childish Sim, whenever you play as Satsuki you have to make sure that she is taken care of well. As such you have to make sure to use your funds well to help Satsuki complete Mei’s whims at times – only the ones based on positive moods that have to do with buying things or are related to spending time with Satsuki.

- You should ensure that both sisters enjoy a fun activity together outside of their home on other lots at least twice every week minimum!

- Mei loves animals greatly, so whenever you come across one playing as her or see one nearby, make sure she befriends them. Once she has befriended at least three animals she can begin adopting two animals which are meant to represent Totoro and Catbus.

- Both Mei and Satsuki must interact with the ghosts and Island spirits on their lot whenever they come across them. While Satsuki will behave more warily at first, both she and Mei should eventually grow to befriend them.

- Because of her hot-headed nature, make sure that Satsuki completes her aspiration so she can also find time to relax and enjoy herself. Mei’s can also be completed, however, that one is optional.

- Due to the sisters being very close, if one of them finds a romantic interest you cannot control how the other sister interacts with that Sim. If they do not like the partner of their sister, then you can either only help that Sim and the specific sister get along with only Satsuki or Mei (depending on who is currently seeing someone) or have to risk there being slight issues in the future.

- Once all that is done, you can choose either Mei or Satsuki to continue on the legacy!

Gen 4: Kiki’s Delivery Service

Character: Kiki

„A young witch, on her mandatory year of independent life, finds fitting into a new community difficult while she supports herself by running an air courier service.“

Traits: Adventerous, Outgoing, Ambitious

Aspiration: Spellcraft & Sorcery

Your Goal:

As a young witch in the making it is not easy to finally move out of home and start making a living with your magic skills! However, you are not someone to easily give up and as such you start your journey on becoming a powerful witch that everyone can rely on when they need you to deliver a potion or two to them.

- Make sure that Kiki is registered as Self-Employed and that as a „Witch“ upon moving to her new place and then proceed to get her a black cat named Jiji as your familiar.

- Living now in your new home, it is time for you to figure out how to make a living as a witch. Make sure to continously raise your skills as a Spellcaster, start making potions and lvl up your skills as a Medium.

- Make sure to befriend at least one of your new neighbors until you are close friends.

- Ensure you have a table to sell your potions with anywhere you go, this will be your means to earn money. As such it is necessary to safe your earnings rather than spend them too soon.

- Once you have enough money, get a broom to travel with considering it is one of Kiki’s key features and only further helps establish you as a witch.

- You have to make at least 20k Simoleons from selling your potions, only then will you have established yourself as a proper Witch in Kiki’s neighborhood.

- Now it is time to befriend another Spellcaster. Try to find one and get close to them and help each other grow more in terms of magic and power.

- After having finally become the witch you’ve always aspired to be, it is time to continue the legacy! It is not mandatory for Kiki to have a partner, but it is an option.

Gen 5: Whisper of The Heart

Character: Shizuku

„A love story between a girl who loves reading books, and a boy who has previously checked out all of the library books she chooses.“

Traits: Bookworm, Music Lover (Teen)

Aspiration: Bestselling Author

Your Goal:

In this generation you will be playing Shizuku – the protagonist of „Whisper of The Heart“ – and your ultimate goal is to write a novel and even lyrics to a song. However, you will also end up finding love with someone you may have not gotten along well with at first.

- Shizuku enjoys books greatly, as such she must read at least one book every day.

- Singing and writing are important skills Shizuku will need to accomplish her goals. She must first max out both of these skills before you can proceed with the next step.

- Upon maxing out the Singing skill, it is time to write a song – can also just be a children’s book – and name it „Country Roads“ because that was the song Shizuku wrote alternative lyrics to in the movie.

- After that begin to write a novel called „Whisper of The Heart“, however, if Shizuku stops to do other things in the middle of it you cannot make her stop. You can only write on the novel when she herself is currently not doing anything else.

- Due to this also being a love story, make sure to also be on the lookout for Shizuku’s future love interest. What is important for them is that they need to be skilled at playing the Violin like her actual love interest – Seiji – in the movie.

- However, just like in the movie, your relationship will first be off on a rocky start: Both of them must start off on slightly bad terms at first, then become friends and finally you can start to help them become lovers. But this mustn’t happen in just a single day. Make sure they dislike each other at first, then have it stay like that for a day, proceed to use the next few Sim days to make them friends and then you can start to have them fall in love.

- After having gone on two dates with your new love interest, you can finally start dating them.

- The final goal left is to now complete Shizuku’s aspiration for good.

- Once she and her partner have grown up as young adults you can continue on with their romance, have them get married and proceed to carry on the legacy.

Gen 6: Princess Mononoke

Character: Ashitaka

Extra Character: San (Mononoke)

„On a journey to find the cure for a Tatarigami's curse, Ashitaka finds himself in the middle of a war between the forest gods and Tatara, a mining colony. In this quest he also meets San, the Mononoke Hime.“

Traits: Good, Proper, Active

Aspiration: Good Vampire

Your Goal:

You might perhaps be wondering why the aspiration is „Good Vampire“… And that is where the curse Ashitaka finds himself with comes in. So, shall we get to what you must do in this generation?

- Before the „curse“ situation begins, it is first time to gain some skills! Make sure your fitness skill is at least lvl 5 and your charisma is lvl 4!

- Once you have done so, study as much as you can about vampires until there is nothing new anymore for you to learn.

- Now it is time to go out and truly meet these creatures of the night… and unwillingly get turned into one yourself.

- Upon becoming a vampire, your goal as Ashitaka is basically to regain your humanity – or at least what’s left of it. As such you must now begin to complete the Aspiration.

- During your journey you will also end up meeting a human girl you will come to know as San who was raised by an occult Sim – can also be a random Sim or someone else, the character of San is completely optional. Make sure to get to know them and perhaps even fall in love.

- Knowing how many evil vampires there are in the world, it is time to change things for the better. Make sure to become the most powerful vampire and rule them into times of peace!

- After you have done this, you must carry on the legacy. However, this can only be done with a human child in this case. If you have vampire children then you must continue to have more until a human child is born – if necessary adoption is also possible.

Gen 7: Spirited Away

Character: Chihiro (Child)

Extra Character: Yubaba

„During her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches, and spirits, and where humans are changed into beasts.“

Traits: Gloomy or Self-assured

Aspiration: Optional

Your Goal:

This is a generation that will solely focus on your experiences as a child. Now that you are Chihiro, it is time to further delve into the world of the occult in the world of Sims. And since you have gotten „spirited away“ it is time for you and your family to take this journey to Glimmerbrook.

- This Gen is a little more easy… depending on how you play. Because you will be moved out of your family’s home and be put under the care of a Spellcaster – can be the character Yubaba.

- Now under that Spellcaster’s care, you must work hard in order to protect and save your parents from an otherwise cruel fate at the hands of that Sim. As such you have to ensure to do as many chores as possible in the house and avoid getting negative reactions from the Spellcaster.

- Due to there not being the option for running a bathhouse, the Spellcaster will instead run a restaurant or a store. Your character will always come along to that place, even if it means neglecting homework etc. There you have to speak with customers and ensure they all have fun at the restaurant.

- Despite it being hard to do homework, you must still do well in school. You also have to max out all skills as a child along with completing the aspiration you chose for Chihiro.

- Once that is done you can finally leave the Spellcaster one day before Chihiro becomes a teenager and be reunited with your parents.

- After this you are free to play however you want.

Optional Generations:

- Howl’s Moving Castle:

Create Sophie and Howl. Ensure Howl is a powerful Spellcaster and help Sophie find her place in the world by opening a store with her that allows her to sell clothes or flowers. They must both first complete different aspirations before then both complete the Soulmate aspiration together.

- Ponyo:

Create a mermaid and name her Ponyo. Her ultimate goal is to live among humans after falling in love with one of them. Help her befriend as many humans as possible, experience human life to the fullest and perhaps even help her also save the Ocean by cleaning up Sulani!

Hope this challenge will be fun for you folks! 👌❤

Question for those using Quotev:

Lately my Account there has been acting up quite a bit. I cannot even change the page or write a reply to someone without getting to see this every 5-10 minutes; sometimes even less:

When I try to submit any replies then I oftentimes have to copy them and reload the page because otherwise I'll just get a "Problem loading message" or a "There was a temporary problem loading". Sometimes I even get a message that says my Internet connection may be unavailable but when I test that out by going to other websites like YouTube or google literally anything, then there's no problem at all. Only Quotev is acting up like this.

So I wanted to ask if anyone else has been having the same issue? Especially people who also live in Germany in case this might just be a problem over here.

[samina-k]

Just a bunch of princes that I made in my free time! Meet Prince Maddox Ranger, Prince Anders Lowell and Prince Lucien Vert! (From top to bottom)~

[samina-k]

Just wanted to see how Tyrone Van would look as a female Sim and dear lord she is gorgeous. I also realized that I may have forgotten to add his freckles on the female version so that's a minus there but other than that? Pretty satisfied with how Tyra Vanessa (thought that was a good female version of Tyrone's name) turned out! 😎

Here's the rest of the fam for comparison!

Daphne Waltz (Tyrone's wife):

Aurora Waltz (Tyrone and Daphne's oldest child):

Scarlett Waltz (Tyrone and Daphne's youngest child):

[samina-k]

For those who have not seen it or those who have already reblogged this:

There was an update to Gen 4/Prince Naveen to make his generation a little more of a challenge and also a little more fun to play!

That is all! If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask! But also make sure to, like I always say, check out the original challenge which is the link all the way at the top of the Disney Princes Legacy Challenge!

I am sure most of you have heard about the "Disney Princess 10 Gen Challenge". Big shoutout to MissPlaying who came up with the challenge! Here's a quick link to it for those of you who want to take a look at it:

Now as for what I made this post... I've been wanting to do this very challenge myself, however, I always like things with a twist. So instead of the Disney Princesses I decided to use the Princes instead. But obviously this meant they needed their own rules for each generation and thus I decided, hey, why not share it so you all can give it a shot as well? Maybe when you have completed the Disney Princess Challenge to move on with the Princes then instead?

Thus I hereby present to you:

The Disney Prince 10 Gen Challenge

Gen 1: Prince Florian - "One song. I have but one song."

Not much is known about Prince Florian other than him being a great singer who simply met his Princess by chance. Not much can thus be said for his backstory except for him being "The Prince". This story begins when Prince Florian is a Young Adult.

He must max the Singing Skill before meeting his Princess

The first woman to come watch him sing once he is at max level that is still single and a young adult will be the one he falls for (like when Snow White listened to him singing to her by the window in the movie)

Prince Florian may never invite her to a different lot or to his home. He can only run into her by coincidence and only travel or spend time with her when she initiates it

May only move in together with her after getting married

Gen 2: Prince Charming - "So this is love..."

Gen 3: Eugene Fitzherbert/Flynn Rider - " I have dreams, like you - no, really!"

As a child you read many stories about a character named Flynn Rider and always wanted to be just like him. However after the death of both your parents when you were just a teen, your life took a turn for the worse: from an orphan you soon became a thief and have thus made many enemies. When Eugene/Flynn is a teen, this story begins.

Both parents must die when he is a teen

Gen 4: Prince Naveen - "We're on this earth to have some fun and that's the way things are!"

Gen 5: Prince Eric - "I lost her once. I'm not gonna lose her again!"

Growing up way more humble than your father but with the same ambition as your mother, you always wanted to go and explore the world. When Prince Eric is a Teen, this story begins.

Has to always travel to different lots and worlds to go explore and to meet new people, may never stay at home for too long

Has to meet his future love as a teen but may not be in contact with her at all after the first meeting until he is a YA (If one possesses "Island Living" his love should best be a mermaid)

Has to meet his one true love again at the same place they met for the first time

Prince Eric and his princess may have up to two children - one being a girl named Melody and the other should be the next Prince

Gen 6: Li Shang - "Mister, I'll make a man out of you."

Gen 7: Prince Adam/The Beast - " No it can't be, I'll just ignore but then she's never looked at me that way before..."

Your parents were quite the heroes for sure in the eyes of many people, however, as hardworking  as they were they only rarely seemed to have time for you. This has made you grow frustrated and make quite the terrible first impression on people, eventually leading to an 'Enchantress' cursing you to become the Beast whose curse can only be broken by finding your one true love. When Prince Adam is a Young Adult, this story begins.

Must have the "Hot-headed" trait and may only ever do a "Rude Introduction", however, can hold friendly conversations with Sims of your choice but not with too many

Must have a terrible relationship with a female Sim (the Enchantress) who will turn you into a Beast in return (can either be a Vampire or you change his facial features to look more beastly)

After becoming a beast you may never head outside during daytime again and never go into crowded places, along with running away from home to live on your own

Never invite people to your home unless they come there by themselves and never travel to different lots until you are human again

Your true love needs to be the one to approach you, no matter what banter it may be

You must start out having a negative relationship with your future love, it gradually becoming better over time before finally starting a romantic relationship

You may only become human again after getting married to your one true love

Gen 8: Prince Phillip - "We've met before. You said so yourself. Once upon a dream."

Your parents have always been the greatest example to you of what it means to find true love. Thus you have always wanted to find it yourself, never truly realizing how close it truly was to you. When Prince Phillip is a child, this story begins.

Must have three daughters (the three "fairies" Flora, Fauna and Merryweather) and one son with his princess

Gen 9: Kristoff - "I know, I know, it's okay. My love is not fragile."

Growing up with three sisters was definitely not the easiest thing in the whole world, however, you wouldn't have it any other way. Always making it your duty to protect those closest to you and work hard, you were definitely no ordinary prince and you never felt like needing to be one in the first place. When Kristoff is a Young Adult, this story begins.

Must move out of his home once he becomes a YA

Needs to always work hard as his job and reach the highest level of it

(if you have "Cats & Dogs", then he needs to get a dog named Sven with whom he goes on adventures)

Have one son with her, however, she must die when the child has become a toddler, leaving Kristoff as a single father

Gen 10: Aladdin - "I steal only what I can't afford - and that's everything!"

After the death of your mother it was just you and your father. However, life at home wasn't easy. Your father had a hard time bonding with you after your mother's death and you just couldn't bare it anymore. So you ran away and since then have basically just tried to survive somehow. When Aladdin is a teen, this story begins.

Needs to either only be "Acquaintences" with his father or have a negative relationship with him

Must run away shortly before becoming a YA

Has to either collect things and sell them for money or have the "Kleptomaniac" trait to steal and sell whatever he can get there

(If you have "Cats & Dogs", take in a stray cat and name it Abu)

Make a best friend who will help you get your life back on track: this can be achieved by moving in with him or getting money from him so you can support yourself until you earn enough on your own (if you have "Realm of Magic" make this friend be a Spellcaster, he can be your Genie then or have him be an alien if you have "Get to Work")

You may cheat three times to make Aladdin's life better to represent the three wishes of the genie

Your future love needs to be someone you witness having a negative encounter with another Sim, only then you may approach them in a romantic manner

You can either proceed with Aladdin not having any children of his own or can continue the legacy with another child. Feel free to move over to the Disney Princess Challenge then to keep the whole thing going! (Shoutout to the original creator of that challenge, MissPlaying, once again!)

I really hope you all like this little twist on the original Disney Legacy Challenge! But please remember to check out the original creator of the Challenge via the link at the beginning of this post! 😉😌

[samina-k]

This is Alfonse Beaulieu - The Sim in my profile pic and the one I am honestly the most proud of to have ever made outfit-wise as well! Mainly because he is the only Sim I have that can wear hats to well, haha!

[samina-k]

Aurora Waltz

She is a Gen 2 Sim in my current game and dear lord she is the perfect mix of her parents Daphne and Tyrone Van Waltz.

Her mom is the hero of StrangerVille and Tyrone Van was actually the barkeeper there. Daphne recruited him to help her defeat the Mother Plant and that's how their wonderful bloodline started which lead to Aurora and also her younger sister Scarlett:

Here's the family tree so far~

And, yes, I do use a different family tree from the one in the game. It just ain't super reliable in my opinion. And this way I can also add their traits, aspirations, careers, the day they died and their given names. That's just how I prefer to do it, haha.

I shall post new updates on them soon~

You may cheat three times to make Aladdin's life better to represent the three wishes of the genie

Your future love needs to be someone you witness having a negative encounter with another Sim, only then you may approach them in a romantic manner

Oof.. Almost all of that applies to me.

If you are an adult who identifies with the concept of Gifted Kid Syndrome and:

You have an unusually intense reaction to the concept of rejection, whether personal, professional, or academic

You have consistent trouble meeting deadlines

You have big dreams and ambitions that are completely achievable, but you consistently can’t take steps toward achieving them and you don’t know why

You procrastinate, like a lot

You like video games, like a lot

You switch seemingly at random between binge watching your favorite shows for absurd lengths of time or not being able to sit down and focus on them unless you’re doing something else at the same time

You cannot for the life of you keep your living area clean and organized

You struggle with substance dependencies, whether with alcohol, tobacco, weed, harder drugs, or even just caffeine

You struggle with texting/calling/emailing back, even for people you care about deeply and/or even for important deadlines

Please, please, please consider seeking out an ADHD evaluation.

I’m not a psychiatrist or any kind of a medical professional, but personally I can’t help but notice how many elements of what I was perceiving as personal failures before my diagnosis stem directly from my executive dysfunction. Meds and an adequate support system can make a world of difference!

Just some advice from your friendly neighborhood nonbinary-mom-friend blogger!

Just had a realization regarding Anders...

Remember when he said that he probably had too much anger when he let Justice inside his body; that this anger was the reason Justice changed?

Think of what Solas said in DA:I about spirits:

"The Fade reflects the mind of the living. If you expect a spirit of wisdom to be a pride demon, it will adapt."

Or when Solas' friend - the spirit of wisdom - needed to be saved. Think of his words there:

"You made it kill. You twisted it against its purpose. (...) You bound it to obedience, then commanded it to kill. That is when it turned."

And now think of some of the things Justice said to Anders and the Grey Warden based on the way Justice saw the world at the time:

"I shall keep it at my side as a reminder that even in misfortune good can be found." (To the Grey Warden after being gifted a Lyrium ring - important because it does show Justice could be optimistic when it comes to bad things)

"To enslave another creature does not seem just." (To Anders regarding his cat)

"Why do you not strike a blow against your oppressors? Ensure they can do this to no one else?" (To Anders regarding the treatment of mages)

"I believe you have a responsibility to your fellow mages. (...) You have seen oppression and are now free. You must act to free those who remain oppressed. (...) But this is not right. You have an obligation." (To Anders regarding mages once more)

"I do not know what makes demons as they are. Such evil angers me, but I do not understand it." (To Anders regarding whether or not Justice could become a demon)

So here is what can be gathered from all this information... Anders claims it was his anger that made Justice change, however, the actions Anders took in DA2 were all already suggested by Justice before they became one. Thus it was Justice who planted those thoughts within Anders' mind and when they began to share Anders' mind - remember, Anders admitted that sometimes he does not know which thoughts are his and which are that of Justice - those ideas of Justice manifested and began to change Anders.

In Dragon Age: Awakening, it was Anders who disagreed with Justice. Not the other way around. Anders wanted his own freedom back then, however, when Justice confronted him about having to free the other mages, Anders' reply was either that it "sounds difficult" and when Justice thus said that apathy is a weakness, Anders countered that so is death. And that was regarding striking a blow against his oppressors.

The conclusion? While Anders claims it was Justice who changed upon the two becoming one, it was actually the other way around. Anders kept on viewing Justice as, well, justice. Anders did not twist Justice against its purpose. He did not expect Justice to be Vengeance. Thus Justice never adapted to become such. Justice stayed Justice.

But Justice made Anders lose what he originally was and the sad thing is: Anders never realized it. He believed it to be his own ideas and morals. And we know that this is a possible thing; not realizing the change in one's self. That was brought up in DA:I during a conversation between Solas and the Inquisitor.

Solas asked if the Anchor changed the Inquisitor. Especially their mind, their morals and their spirit. What changed about Anders after Dragon Age: Awakening? His mind, his morals and also his spirit. His mind warped with that of Justice, his morals became that of Justice and his spirit became one with Justice.

Thus I like to see it like this: the companion we were travelling with in DA2 was mainly Justice and Anders only rarely managed to really let his own, true personality shine through. It managed to shine through the most possibly if you romanced him.

Based on all this, I really find the tale of Anders and Justice to be one of the most complex in all of Dragon Age and I honestly really hope we will get to learn even more about how spirits function in the next game. It is such an intriguing thing!

If Fenris does appear in DA4...

Then BioWare sure has to plan LOTS of possible dialogue for him, even if he is not a direct party member and either just serves the role of an advisor or maybe even just an npc.

I mean, they'd have to write a dialogue in case he went against Hawke during the final battle and one if he fought with Hawke without there being a romance. Then there'd need to be dialogue if he romanced Hawke and if Hawke is still alive or.... if Hawke was left behind in the Fade (even a non-romanced reaction of his to it).

Oh, maybe even a possible flirt option dialogue. Like, imagine his possible replies:

"I've let someone close to me before and was disappointed in the end." - if he and Hawke maybe fought against each other in the final Arc.

"I am not looking for romance at the moment. We have more important things to do." - non-romanced Hawke but they fought together in the final Arc of DA2.

"Actually there is someone that I must return to once all of this is over." - romanced Hawke.

"I'm sorry... but there was only one person for me and I intend to... keep it that way." - if romanced Hawke was left in the Fade.

"Let's better not get too attached. Bad things... can always happen." - non-romanced Hawke left in the Fade.

Maybe not exactly how Fenris would word it, but this is what I can imagine if we do get to try and flirt with him in that game. Or get similiar responses if we get the option to ask questions about Hawke.

I will nontheless feel bad for all those people who left Hawke in the Fade - maybe even because they had a romanced Warden Alistair there where I can definitely understand the struggle - who'd then have to face Fenris if he does turn out to be a character that appears in the next game.

Decided to draw the wonderful and beloved Sailor Moon aka Usagi Tsukino in the My Hero Academia art style! Perhaps I will do more iconic anime characters in this particular style in the future. Like Son Goku or Saitama, haha.

But, yeah, hope this is how you all would imagine Sailor Moon to look if she were part of the show!

[samina-k]

While I am sad that Dororo came to an end it nontheless does not stop me from practicing the show's art style! So, not sure if she'll be an OC or not but have this sweet lady for a start, haha.

Did you know....

...that in the German Dub of DBZ Vegeta was at one point voiced by the same person who also voices the German Spongebob Squarepants? 😎

It truly is a magnificent voice for Vegeta to have, ain't it? 👌

Decided to draw my own versions of two fairytale characters lol

Have a Thumbelina and Snow White, you all~

A lot of you guys know about how I have a thing for blue skinned/blue color schemed characters. Well, I also noticed a thing with some of my favorite pairings…

Apparently I really like the Beauty and the Beast trope too?
