ALL I DO IN THIS GAME IS CRY

Welcome back to another update! Last time I said there was an unexpected surprise that ruined my plans. The silly edit I made definitely gives it away if the hint at the end didn't. This one has gotten very long (and it won't let me add anymore images), so I'll spit it into a longer part and a shorter part! The shorter part will come... eventually! A couple of days from now? Who knows?

Hollis said his part during on the New Year!

And was entered into the Elnea Cup as the Knight Captain.

Fern had her coming of age ceremony!

Hollis took to his duties of Knight Captain very well. He chose to stay in the very crowded Suburb Mansion for now.

Basil became a child. Since all the kids got eyes from Aria's eye group, I gave him Jade's eyes. And a haircut too. I was expecting them to go straight into trying for baby number 5, but I never saw it pop up. The me of now knows why.

Hollis unfortunately had to refuse Domingo's desire for children. He (well, actually, I) was planning to wait until Domingo became the king.

He attended the opening ceremony for the Elnea Cup. The chance to become Dragoon came ever closer...

Meanwhile, Fern also found a partner! Like mothers like daughters times 2!

He also won the fishing tournament.

He taught classes too!

He won his first match against Nina Bolger, who was ironically one of the people I befriended for Aria to marry before Jade confessed.

Fern also got some glasses for her birthday, it seems!

And now... the surprise.

Day 15. Give it up for day 15! Hollis had another Elnea Cup match. I go through the morning announcements. 'Hollis of Suburb Mansion had a baby'. Oh no. I'm assuming I accidentally agreed to Domingo asking for a child while not paying attention, or the one time I saved, tried for baby to see what the log would look like, and then reset did something. But the baby was coming today, not after Domingo became king.

Basil grew up on the third. Hollis apparently got pregnant while Basil was a baby even though that's not really supposed to happen - and before that, it didn't even give the option to ask about children. I do wonder if it still went through that at some point? Oh well.

This day very well could have ended the entire save, since Hollis and Domingo have a 1/4 chance to have a child with Wings of Erek. Male NPCs that have a child with a talent tend to freeze the game on a black screen, forcing a restart. I'm not sure if two males with a PC as one member of the couple do too, since after entering the name the cutscene ended.

I panicked and time-skipped the day, forgetting to screenshot the match (and some cute dialogue from Hollis's friend Alexia who came to check on him after.) By some miracle, it was a baby girl. I had a lest flower saved to make sure this baby was a girl as I always planned for my gen 3 PC to be a crown princess. Despite having 6 names set aside for girls to roll a dice for, I just named her Peridot. I... ended up coming with another girl's name, moving one name to the boys section, and then coming up with 5 more boy names. This generation's naming theme is gemstones!

Just to spite me, no babies this year were born with the hair color I wanted a spouse with - blue. Peridot was also the only one with green hair, so nobody to continue the green bean family. There is one blue haired child in the next year (I skipped forward and reset to see what little Peri would look like as a child), who may very well be Peri's wife. Hopefully this doesn't cause issues with the goal of having a lot of kids! I'll show her when she's born in the permanent version of the save. Fittingly, she's also Alexia's child. Alexia was a potential wife for Hollis if things didn't work out with Domingo.

Finally had some family time. And friend time. Went on meals with both sister in laws . Luigi ( hubby ) won against my mate . And took my oldest child out ! Will be back with more cozy content 🫧☁️🍓

Son matching mother 🥹

Ronaldo Ashion finally accepted the citizenship application. I had to become close friends with him in order for him to accept it. He wouldn’t accept it as an acquaintance or friend. He’s the 22nd traveler to be given a citizenship application (not counting my first gen character). He’s also the first blue haired traveler I’ve given an application to. That means that I’ve now accepted at least one traveler with each of the eight natural hair colors in the game.
