The night settles as you lean against him.

The calm sinking in after an eventful day.

“Did you have fun today?”

“How can I not? When faced with such youthful energy? Kufufu~”

Time may have passed.

The stars have moved.

This family of yours have grown.

Knights titled. A Prince became a King.

Little patters of feet came about and grown.

Littles ones that belonged to you and to theirs.

All making their own paths in life.

“Do you ever regret it?”

Did he regret staying? Changing his mind? From all those years ago?

It’s a question you would ask occasionally.

And his answer would always be the same.

“One should never make a vow of eternal love lightly.”

He raised your hand, wrinkled with time, to his lips.

Kissing the ring that he placed once upon a time.

“I have never taken my vows or you lightly nor will I ever regret it.”

My love for you is eternal.

A hand rubbed your cheek tenderly.

“My~ Have I made you speechless~”

You laughed before leaning in for a kiss, “You always do.”

Moonlight shines on the couple as they fall onto slumber.

Time might have changed them, but the joy radiating from them never has.

Sleep Dearly Beloveds.

Know that the love you have brought to each other and to others will last for eternity.

Sleep.

For the love you have for each other will last beyond lifetimes.

May You Both, Rest in Peace.

Until You Meet Again.

And Start Your Story Together Anew.

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH SPAMTON IN MY QUEUE I'M NOT EVEN INTO HIM RN

[internetgiraffekid1673]

More Fantasy Life OCs!

I already introduced ya'll to my "main" Fantasy Life characters but I absolutely have others knocking around!

Ginger, Autumn, and Sella are a trio of protagonists who I generally picture actually doing the events of the plot and being the MCs. These three are a trio of side characters who DON'T engage in the main story---they're like NPCs for their Lives.

Opal is the world's most exhausted mercenary. They really really should be retired, but this is kind of the only way they know how to put food on the table, and they're too stubborn to find something else. I picture their character arc being about learning it's okay to ask for help, try new things, and to quit doing something if it's not for you!

Shermie is an extremely nervous fisher who's too afraid to actually do much fishing. They get jumpscared by their own shadow, so they're a lot more likely to scream and drop the rod into the water when a fish starts fighting them. Their character arc is obviously about growing their confidence and becoming a fisher in practice instead of in theory. The player leads by example and inspires them to try, showing them that it really is all going to be okay.

Shermie is also EXTREMELY nearsighted, and very much needs glasses, but they have no idea and thinks the world is just that blurry to everybody. It's played for laughs most of the time, but Shermie will get a pair of glasses once you get to a high enough rank and will be briefly injected with the confidence of an unstoppable god now that they can see.

Zane is what you would have been if you'd started as a Carpenter in Al Majik. They began their journey the same time as you and grew in the ranks just as quickly, but the two of you don't cross paths until well into the story. They become your friendly rival and greatly enjoys swapping techniques with you. Similar to the protagonist, they don't really have a character arc beyond getting better at their job and making friends.

As far as design goes, I did a mix of the novice gear for each of their Lives with what their real-life variants would be wearing.

While Fantasy Life Mercenaries only armor their outer limbs and head (down to the female outfit having a bare arms and midriff), that's not how it works in real life. Not only are your arms and legs non-vital organs that need less protection, but only putting weight on your limbs changes your center of gravity and makes it difficult to move well. If you can only afford one piece of armor, most people are going to go with a breastplate or a helmet because those protect the vital areas. At the very least have them wear a vest or something! Opal has more experience under their belt, so probably better gear than start, so I protected their vital organs, and then armored their outer limbs because that is a good spot to do next, especially if you're not going full plate.

Shermie probably ended out closest to real life just because I didn't want to put them in anything resembling a skirt/dress, so that meant the novice fisher robes were out. I kept the smock, but the rest of their outfit is literally just what you could find the average fisher in irl: wide-brimmed hat to keep the sun out of their eyes, lightweight but long sleeved shirt, cargo shorts that provide pockets while also keeping your legs open against the heat and stay dry even when wading, and waterproof boots.

For Zane, the pants and the headband are literally just the novice outfit. I added an apron as it is pretty regular carpenter attire both in-game and irl, but Zane is a sleeve-hater, so they're wearing a tank top underneath. The gloves are green mostly because I was just having fun adding pretty colors. They're realistically just green fabric, but they ended out looking kinda like rubber sanitation gloves, which a Carpenter doesn't have a lot of logical reason to be wearing, but it looks fun so I don't care.

I also greatly enjoyed leaning into the very fun and bright colors of the game for this trio, including/especially their anime hair and eyes.

Buzzard and Blurr are so cute :) really endearing ans sorta sweet, hope things work out well with em

Im really curious about the twos relationship. Do you have any thoughts you could share behind their dynamic and how they end up getting together? Or headcanons?

Keep up the good work! :D

THANK YOU ANON YOU MADE MY DAY!!!

i will be honest i would also like to know how they get together bc they are uhhhhhh both bad at this whole romantic thing! like i talk about here, they're both bumbling, inexperienced, and having a rude awakening to the concept of demisexuality, so as far as i can tell there is no end in sight to the mutual pining idiots. there's some possibilities but nothing concrete yet

they're a fun ship but first and foremost they are a funNY ship and the funny bits to me are in the pre-get together stage so that's what i think of the most. so! have some tidbits! this is a long post oops but i am NOT putting it under a cut i am making everyone LOOK AT SELF INDULGENCE RAAAGHH I AM KILLING CRINGE!!!

Blurr met Buzzard after being painstakingly transferred to a new, kitbashed frame and having a weird tall stranger show him the trash cube that used to be him with far too much enthusiasm. Buzzard was the one to fish that cube out of the trash as they went spelunking in Cybertron's waste disposal system as Team Purple were on planet to pull off a pet heist (and got more than they bargained for). once everyone realized the cube was a person and was ALIVE, they were also the one to uhhhhhh procure most of the pieces of his new frame, constructed by Knock-out in a back alley deal on Velocitron. Blurr is uncomfortable with how piecemeal and janky this frame is, despite being a close reconstruction of his original, and it takes him a long time to truly realize that Buzzard donated, bought, or outright stole 90% of the parts needed to bring him, a stranger, back to life. it's an odd feeling, to suddenly reckon with the concept that maybe there's more to this junker than picking pockets and being silly

it takes awhile for either of them to really pay attention to the other? like, Blurr has essentially pulled a Jesus, and also maybe unwillingly defected from the Autobots, and is currently "trapped" with a team full of criminals and Decepticons, one of whom was a spy that he spent so long tracking down and got thiiiiiiiis close to discovering her true identity before Longarm sent him off to Earth, so he's understandably got a grudge the size of a planet against Rosanna who is happy to taunt him about it, NOT TO MENTION the awkward, vulnerable, and painful physical therapy of getting used to this new frame and trying to regain his speed and just... being alive again?? sure, Buzzard is tall and weird, but they are the least of his worries in his early days with Team Purple

to be fair, like. for months the only real impression Blurr has of Buzzard is just:

infinite storage booba

that and "tall flightframe with purple parts but NOT a Decepticon???? not even an enemy????" it's something he's still coming to terms with. Gremlin consistently seeking him out to nap on is not helping

it may be easy to assume that Buzzard, having been brought to life by an Allspark shard on Earth, is young and ignorant and stupid and may not even know what love is etc etc. however, they were mentored by the whirlwind romance duo Rum-maj and Wreck-gar, both very invested and also very forthcoming about their own relationship. Buzzard is pretty knowledgeable about what love/romance/sexuality can look like, just from observing them and others around them! no, the mutual pining idiocy isn't from ignorance, it's just twitterpated stupidity 👍

this goes against popular fanon interpretation of Blurr i think, but i like to characterize him as the kind of hypercompetent-but-lame guy who's married to his work, doesn't bother with social skills beyond bare minimum, and isn't so much arrogant/full of himself as he is just impatient and dismissive. he's like a working breed dog. you might think he's hot but he would rather skip an offer of a one night stand in favor of following up on a potential lead or staking out a target's home all night. so Blurr's experience and general overall INTEREST in romance is nil

the fact i have slapped asexuality onto both of them just means they're both extra unprepared to Experience Feelings

it's slow! Buzzard thinks this guy is funny, and kind of sad, and though they never say this they think he could use a friend who won't get impatient with his own frustration. he knows a lot of stuff about Cybertron and Autobots and such that they've never heard before and he can be prompted to give entire lectures about anything, which they soak up, they love learning. Blurr is only mostly irritated by Buzzard being affable, and curious, and dropping odd knickknacks and riffraff into his hands whenever they feel like it. they don't roll their optics or look lost when he gets talking like many people do, and usually even manage to keep up with what he's saying. it's toleration at least!

he doesn't realize it, but it's really the least stressful/antagonistic connection he has with Team Purple so far. Rosanna was a target he was cheated out of uncovering and holds it over his head, Dreadringer is the mysterious captain of this dangerous gang who seems to want to toss everyone out the airlock, Wheelie was an old friend but seeing him so comfortable around these strangers is almost more offputting, Red Alert may be an Autobot but she's also the doctor seeing to his recovery which is hardly pleasant, the multiple Decepticons aboard keep him on edge even if they're nice to him like Voidwander, there's so many utterly absurdly strange people like Necro, or Wreck-gar, or Inferno, or Sky Lynx, or even Beachcomber, etc....

in comparison, Buzzard ends up filling almost a Kronk role to his Yzma as Blurr eventually feels comfortable ranting to them, or relaxing around them, or even skedaddling behind them for protection whenever Shenanigans occur. they're nice to him. it's weird. but it's still one of the biggest reasons why Blurr starts to acclimate to Team Purple, and even start considering himself one of them. without their positive influence, he wouldn't have dealt well with famous Team Purple tidbits like Tito Moto's funeral, Bludgeon deciding to start an official pirate rivalry, Dreadringer's delusions of interning with a god, Crescent's livestreaming career, or The Oil Slick Incident

Buzzard just thinks Blurr is fascinating to be around, in a much nicer way than when he was paranoid and scared of the rest of the team. now he's fitting in! in some corner of their mind, they think of him as another part of the hoard they call a family :3

maybe letting two obsession-prone people who only make friends with other weirdos spend a lot of time around one another was always going to end in a weird tangle of emotions, huh?

now this is of course Buzzard's Iconic Demi Moment, but Blurr has one too:

i firmly believe it's a hallmark- no, a REQUIREMENT that to be an Autobot in TFA you must be repressed. these guys are all touch-starved and alienated from their own wants and needs in favor of serving The Regime. so good luck Blurr you're gonna need it

Buzzard meanwhile is literally scared they're gonna pluck out Blurr's spleen. they keep wanting to be around him, and watch him, and touch him, all of which is normal sure but this is a lot so clearly their subconscious has marked him as a trinket to steal

attempts to explain otherwise generally do not go well

so they just. fail at communicating. they fail at communicating so bad the entire ship knows. even Rosanna gives Blurr tips on flirting. even Gremlin, Buzzard's dearest friend in the world, is giving them the stink-eye for idiocy. they are both still friends, they gravitate towards one another and get invested in what the other enjoys and work well together and just keep growing closer as time goes on, but the awkward, helpless stupidity of Oh My God Feelings turns it into a comedy show for the rest of Team Purple

maybe if Blurr could stop flipping out about the right thing to say and do and be and and and-- then he would relax enough, be confident enough to do something so bold as hold Buzzard's hand. maybe if Buzzard could stop worrying that their preoccupation with him is scary, or unwelcome, or unnatural, or going to upset his place in the team or as their friend, then they would stop feeling dread and start experiencing the joy and giddiness of romance, how it can be a treat for both of them

it's a lot of shenanigans. chicanery. silly falling over one another to just do something nice for the other but not quite knowing how. but they're both earnest. they enjoy one another. they keep coming back to one another

they'll get there eventually. i'll noodle something that fits

fingers crossed

i mean they have to get there eventually or this image won't be canon and i spent a lot of effort figuring out overlapping posing and kibble angles >:(

anyways. i'll leave u with this silly little ship meme (can u believe this image was gonna be my only response til i decided to defy cringe and infodump)
