Day 3- Memories

~Merry Krombus and Happy Holidays~

Giftee: @shappoxs

Your characters are so cute, and I had a lot of fun drawing them ^-^ Sal specifically- I really liked his eyes, they turned out so mischievous LMAO and thank you to @olnfsecretsanta2024 for this event!

HI THERE its your secret santa here!

just curious on if theres any info you can give me on edwins interactions with other characters? like how do they act with everyone and are there any people who they act differently around?

Sorry! I've been preoccupied lately.

Edwin is usually a very shy person, he wants to get along with everyone but he's hesitant to step forward if that makes sense. I've had this idea in my head that if he likes or is comfortable with someone he'll show it by giving them things. (If that's confusing think of it as similar to a crow giving trinkets LMAO he'll just start sharing things, like snacks, toys, a cool rock, etc.)

With Tamarack he'd be more playful. Since she tends to just charge forward, I think he'd be drawn into the energy of it as a kid. She could probably talk him into trouble if she wanted. They often explore the forest together and play pretend.

With Qiu I think he's the most relaxed and comfortable (other than his mom ofc). I think Qiu's confidence with handling other people would help him feel less anxious, and in turn Edwin checks in on Qiu a lot too. I like to think they trade notes a lot in and out of class since Winnie doesn't really talk. Anywhere between full sheets of conversation and just silly doodles.

With Ren he didn't like her at first, purely because Ren didn't like Tamarack and that was his bestie. As things calm down between those two though, Edwin finds he actually really likes hanging out with her (and the rest of the boy's club). I can't think of anything specific tho..

With Baxter pretty similar to Ren, except he looks up to Baxter. He thought he was kinda of intimidating at first then thought he was really cool.

Sorry, if this is a bit everywhere. Hopefully this helps!

I have both too many thoughts on this and none at all-

Cadence Drew (OLBA): I can't imagine in step 1 he did any after school activities, he was very standoffish and would rather spend more time on the beach. From step 2 onwards though he took guitar lessons! And probably some kind of art class/club, he gets very into pottery. In my highschool the art teacher used to let us hang out in the art room during lunch, so I like to imagine that's where Cadence spent most of his time. (Also yes, haha his last name is Drew and he became an artist)

Edwin 'Winnie' Porter: Edwin loves space, if he spoke he could rant about it for literal hours. He's a lil nerd. So I'd imagine he takes some kind of science club, or creative writing. He likes reading about myths and legends (especially if they're connected to constellations), so I think he'd enjoy getting to write his own. I don't know what clubs the game is going to offer, so I haven't made any solid decisions for him yet.

OUR LIFE WRITERS AND ARTISTS!

I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR MCS AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITY/CLUB IS!

i rarely see people talk about/draw their MCs club or after activity

Some WIPS from today- I just couldn't focus on anything 😭

Been playing a lot of Stardew Valley and wanted to try my hand at drawing the villagers. Starting with- definitely not biased or anything- Sam!

My mc for OLBA- Cadence Drew!

Again, in case you can't read my chicken-scratch:

-Cadence Drew, age: 8, RBF(resting bitch face)

-snail <3

-Him and Lee have matching shell bracelets. (He adores his cousin)

-He doesn't know how to interact with others, Cove thinks he hates him. So, they're not friends at first. LMAO

-How he looks to other kids\ Reality: Needs glasses

-Cadence thought that Cove was a fae or mermaid when he first saw him.

From the Life of the Sun

"Do you ever wonder if the sun yearns to see the moon that little bit longer? Such simple beauty, made of the same light but somehow with an ethereal twist. Or perhaps it burns with envy, for she lives an eternity without the burden of bearing light. Of life."

Day 2- Sick days

---------- Decided to try my hand at writing a small story to go with this. (Def wasn't supposed to just be a sentence and spiraled from there)

Edwin didn't care if he sounded like a baby as he insisted on sleeping on the couch, he didn't want to leave his mum's side. He felt awful, miserable even, and his head spun with each move he made. Even worse, he knew that he was keeping his mum from work.

He sniffled miserably from his spot on the couch, rubbing a fist over his heavy eyes.

"Oh, baby..." Opal cooed to him and Edwin hiccupped with a suppressed sob.

His mum gently maneuvered him to sit up and the small boy protested before realizing with a start that Opal was sitting down next to him. Edwin hiccupped again and draped himself over his mum's lap. One hand clutching at her leg as if to keep her there.

Opal gave a soft laugh, and smoothed a hand through his messy curls, "I'm here, Winnie..."

"I'm sorry," he croaked in a whisper.

"Don't be." She insisted gently, "it's no trouble at all to stay home with you."

First post on Tumblr and it's Our Life brain rot- LMAO

Quick sketches of my mc Edwin Porter while I prepare for the OLNFweek prompts.

For those who can't read my god-awful writing:

-Edwin Porter, Age:10

-Tama compares his hair to cotton candy, Qiu thinks he looks like a sheep.

-He's constantly mistaken for a little girl.

-He's a selective mute. His mum helped him learn some ASL to communicate.

Back on that Our Life: B&A brain rot- Here's step 4 Cadence!

Fun fact: It is actually very easy to fluster Cadence, and Cove for sure takes advantage of that when they're older as revenge for Cade teasing him all of the time growing up.
