Love this game series. I came back to this demo after about a year, and I like the changes that were done, and I'm really looking forward to the 2025 Fall demo :)
Yes! There is a poly route where you can romance both Tamarack and Qiu during your play through. Just wanted to give official confirmation, and thank you for your interest in our game!
I first played the demo I think a few years ago? I was obsessed with B & A so I knew I'd like this one. Even though its been forever, Im still excited to try it out fully, just gotta be patient :)
Hello! I translated this as best I could, and I believe you're asking about subtitles. Unfortunately, there will not be any translations done for this game, sorry about that! But thank you for your interest, and have a good day.
GB Team I come to yall today asking for more save pages. Theres so many moments I like to go back to on my different routes that I need some more space
I played the full demo so far and it's awesome. I loved how kind but slightly arrogant Qiu is. He/they're really cool and I loved how nice Tamarack was as well. The best trio trust me. (Mc or you?? I dunno), Tamarack and Qiu. BEST TRIO YES YES YES. Ok idk what im saying im really trying to devote my love to Qiu because they are my favorite person in the whole game. Also, I loved being rude to Darren because HE IS A JERK 👿. But i also said "It's okay if you don't want to talk to me..." and it said he looked sad. So maybe he's guilty because he's uncomfortable with new people-I could agree. I cannot really blame him. AND BAXTER!? SO KIND OML. If he was a love interest i'd take it but after learning that he sadly didn't visit in the future was sad and unfortunate. So maybe it'd never happen but anyways. Thank you for making this!! I love it and I plan to play the full game when it is done :)
Me when i can't draw backgrounds and blah blah blah (i haven't drawn Ethan in so long he looks stupid [cry])I'm too scared to get discord oml someone smack some confidence into me.
I already posted this on the dc but ill sent it here too bc why not 🙃 also I was planning to make the bg myself but drawing Sylvan already took me 10 hours and aint no way am i putting more hours into this 😒
+ chibi version of my babies I drew as a little side quest! 🤭
SYLVAN OMG SHE LOOKS SO YUMMY AND SCRUMPTIOUS AND CUTE AND COLORFUL AND AAAAA !!!!! shystel.. HOW DO YOU EVEN COLOR. HOW DO YOU EYE AND HOW DO YOU HAIR AND HOW DO YOU BACKGROUND ⁉️⁉️
Because I'm bored and I have not been in here for a little while, here's some angsty lore about my Mc's! Step 1 (mostly)
Berryl : Before moving to the smaller town of G.G, she used to get really overstimulated near her city's road with loud engines, explains why she was so quiet during steps 1, but beginning to get more comfy during other steps, but sometimes will relapse when something is too loud and it triggers her back into when she was in the city.
Noki : Lived near a beach where there's also a dense forest, being the black sheep of his entire friend group, he was once abandoned in the woods by them until the sun set down, and eventually his mama found him quivering and cold, sitting next to his shiny eevee plushie. He still holds onto it to this day, and the memories still linger in the back of his head even until adulthood, but looking back to it as he got older, he'd always wished he could comfort his younger youth.
Khaoi : 'Weird bug kid.' Is always familiar to him, both in a sad, but sort of happy way? He doesn't really know, he'd collect little bugs, make a little enclosure for them using the plastic boxes his mommy always got him and show some of them off to his friends, which were met with faces of pure disgust, annoyance, and ignorance. But that didn't affect him! .. Maybe a little. As much as he'd like to pretend he'll be alright, he just couldn't bare the thought of being alone. The reason why he covers his eyes, is because he can't fit in with the rest of his group, he sticks out like a sore thumb most of the time, and that's why kids his age tend to avoid him.
Hey guys, things have been quieting down slowly, still don’t have time to draw yet though. But I thought I’d ask a simple question that I don’t think has been asked.
What is your MC’s handedness?
KitKat left-handed, Bacon is right-handed, and Sin is ambidextrous.
Runie would say, “Its cause she needs two hands to double her evil deeds.” But I’d say its because shes just a curious little kitty who wanted to learn it because she saw it in a movie once ❤️
double posting 😰😰😰 Kind of an MC related question, but do any of you have a pinterest board for your MC’s kinda vibe/aesthetic?? Or perhaps even boards of how you view other people’s MCs or the vibes/aesthetic they give you?? (I don’t have any regarding the second question but sometimes i do get the urge to do so 😓😓)(this might be a trap for you guys to show your boards/make ‘em 🤭🤭💗)
yes… 😛😛 i am living there trust me (im not) honestly idk!! i just like making boards for my ocs and things i like (i have an olnf board 😋😋) so i wondered if other ppl did the same 😭😭
Finally drawn KitKat, I've forgotten everything I wanted to say in this post so I'll just image dump
These are the refs/template
Here's the finished version with all color combos. I didn't have the energy to make a sweater from scratch or a ponytail version for her hair like the old KitKat had.
OH!!!! HOLY LORD ALMIGHTY!!! SHE’S SO GORGEOUS!!!! *faints, dies, and goes to heaven*
I get not wanting to draw the ponytail man, angles are hard, I honestly don’t know why I torture myself like this. That’s part of why I gave her coat a hood, in case I was too lazy to draw her hair. She still has the ponytail though, it’s just hidden.
But in any case, I like seeing the old step 1 Kathryne design. I have plans to bring it back at a later step, sort of.
Yay! Compliments from THE Merry derivative, am I actually the one in heaven? (≧◡≦) ♡
Maybe I'll try it with the hood design some time or if I wanna torture myself I'll try the ponytail. Sorry I forgot to ask what she wears underneath the coat ( ╥ω╥ )
I have another question, it's related to the mass mc drawing I'm doing. I want to draw my mcs interacting with yours, but, I don't want to mischaracterize them. Also I'm practicing more expressions, so yeah.
You can yap, and how do you think your mcs would interact with mine?
For reference, Xipil will not talk to anyone. She can talk, and used to ramble, but due to past bullying incidents (the scar on her cheek, the bullies wanted to get her to shut up), she has opted to go mute. She is very polite, and shows it through actions. The only way she makes friends is with her special rock collection, dubbed "Frienship Rocks". She got this from penguins, since that's how they court. But she doesn't know this and thought that's how they made friends. So if she gives you a rock, she wants to be your friend.
Metztli is very confident and is actually pretty serious. Befriending her is kind of hard because she's not used to people wanting to be her friend. She's very blunt too, and her need to be perfect gets in the way of her actually being nice. But if you're her friend, she will be very protective of you.
Quetzalli is very flighty. She will often run away or freeze, purely because she doesn't know how to speak to people. Like Xipil, she was made fun of for wanting to be a captain, and her rants on ships. It's worse if she finds someone pretty/handsome, because she knows she's awkward and doesn't want to embarrass herself in front of them. If you were to attempt to talk to her, just hand her something she can fidget with (like a stick), and she'll stay and let you talk to her. Just don't mind her slight stutter and frantic nods, she's trying her best to speak. She'll also squeak when caught off guard, but if you're friend, she'll refer to you as first mate.
Bacon is kind of the opposite of your mc’s he’s extremely extroverted and friendly.. So he would likely be able to get along with Xipil even if she doesn’t talk much as he doesn’t really mind. He could likely get along with Metztli if they realized that because of his mental disabilities, he likely doesn’t mean her any harm. Quetzalli on the other hand, would be completely overwhelmed by him.
Sin is can definitely get along with Xipil, they’re no stranger to befriending quiet kids, and would definitely step in to do the talking for her. Sin may be outgoing but they do know how to dial their energy back so they’d likely act more calmly around Queztalli and act kind of like a kind big sibling. Sin is a master at understanding people. They’d probably faili to talk to Metztli several time, before she realized that Sin actually wants to be friends.
Kathryne, doesn’t start any conversations herself until step 3 due to not speaking English. She and Xipil would likely have to be introduced by Qiu and Tamarack and it would be very awkward. I feel like they’d get along though, even if they never speak. She and Metztli could probably be friends, I’d feel like Metztli would start talking to KitKat and overtime, they become friends, even if Kathryne can’t tell her that. Xipil and KitKat would have a very awkward relationship, Kathryne would probably scare her off at first due to her cold nature. But Quetzalli would likely start ranting about ships one day when she sees a picture of Kathryne from when she was still in Greenland since nearly all towns are along the coast.
Zephyr is kinda adaptable so he would be awkward with Xipil but still give a slight smile and guide the conversation as long as Xipil is comfortable with it ( while hoping someone they're both friends with comes by).
With Metztli I feel like he'd ask just the right question to make her rant about something while nodding and open smiling.
And with Quetzalli he'd probably give her a candy or some snack, maybe sit in silence afterwards until he asks to play something.
For El, he doesn't talk directly to whoever it is during first meetings until he finds them somewhat trustable. After that he's kinda like a comfort friend, anyone can lean on him (shorty) and he doesn't mind being left out of conversation as long as he's present.
YAYAYAY!!! Ive been WAITING to explore their dynamics so please correct me if i accidentally mischaracterize any of your MC’s!
Runie 🌟🌼
- Xipil: It’d be a slowburn friendship to me! Specially cos Runie is so wary of his strength (he has abnormal strength.. like Shizuo Heiwajima strength) that in Step 1 and Step 2 he doesnt wanna scare Xipil away, so this would be another Runie Shield moment(tm) where Runie early on in Step 1 would just protect Xipil from anything dangerous and likes her (platonically) from afar. In late Step 2 I believe he’d work up the courage to talk to her.
It’ll start as an awkward friendship at first but once they slowly get to learn about each other more and bond (ALSO they get to bond over getting bullied so early on in their childhood which makes my heart ache 💔💔)
Their dynamic in a nutshell: Soft Stronk and Soft Sweet
- Metztli: Runie would come to respect and admire her but they wouldnt become realllyyy close. Maybe like, more than acquaintances but less than friends. He really admires Metztli’s attitude (he doesnt know abt her perfectionism) and sometimes will just give her random baked goods if he made too much. (Runie kinda feels a littleee intimidated by her so thats one of the reasons hes hesitant to talk to her skxnnsnd)
- Quetzalli: Oh Runie would LOVE to be part of her crew! You know that Markiplier jingle jangle clip? Id like to think thats how he made friends with her when they first met 😭 Runie lets her rant about her interests about being a Captain and her endless knowledge of ships even if he sometimes doesnt have a clue and gets confused but does his best.. even if he says something completely stupid and remembers the names of the ships wrong 😭😭
Id also like to think that whenever they go to the beach to hang out or go on a boat ride, Runie would prepare batches of treats that are marine themed and give them to Quetzalli so they can eat it together :’3
NOW ONTO KANRA!! She may be a bit difficult to get along with so.. most of them will either end in slowburn or strangers 🥲
Kanra🍓🐞
- Xipil: actually,, gets really interested with the friendship rocks thing that she does, prompting her to research about penguins, ended up liking that animal, and now studying Xipil because thats the closest thing to a penguin shes got.
She starts interacting with her. Not, like, in the traditional sense. But more like she sits next to her quietly as she reads or writes in her notebook, she chooses to spend time nearby Xipil or Metztli because she finds both of them interesting and not too annoying for her (in her terms)
I feel like she’d feel calm enough with Xipil that she tries to learn social cues and not be rude TwT.
- Metztli: Kanra would actively try and try to set her off 💔 she absolutely loves breaking down peoples facades so I dont think Metztli would honestly like her because of how manipulative and invasive she is. Unfortunately though I think Kanra would still do it for her studies and for her own personal interests. (See: her having subclinical Psychopathy and has a hobby of trying to gauge out peoples emotions and reactions because she can only feel emotions but its very muted.)
So im SO sorry Metztli but I think Kanra would still continue to do this to her all the way through Step 1 to Step 4 😭😭 (is this her way of making friends? Probably yes. Does she realise its rude and its offensive to Metztli? Nope not a clue)
- Quetzalli: Surprisingly I think with a bit of time and effort I think Kanra would come to like her. With Kanra’s fixation on sharks she wouldnt mind being a part of her crew. Although she’d probably get scolded by Runie if she starts being a bit mean and manipulative with Quetzalli which would in turn make Kanra learn more on social nuances and boundaries. I think theyd be friends in the middle of Step 2. And if they were, their dynamic would be the talker x listener because even though Kanra isnt good at talking, shes an amazing listener as well and can honestly have a whole 4 hour debate and conversation with Quetzalli about marine life and ships (she’d also learn more about ships for her. Kanra would never admit that she did it for her though LOL)
You gave me diabetes. But for real, you didn't mischaracterize them at all! I love how each of them have different interactions, and their dynamics too! The jingle jangle markiplier clip is now confirmed to be how Quetzalli became friends with Runie. Thank you for the wonderful drawing ideas too, by the way. AND SPEAKING OF RUNIE AND KANRA, I drew them. I sincerely hope I did it right, but I might post it later when it's complete. Also sorry about the yap and potential mischaracterize of your mcs, but here's how I think Xipil, Metztli, and Quetzalli would respond. Let me know if I need to correct anything!
Xipil would actually think Runie was cool, and be a bit confused with Kanra. But she'd definitely give them rocks to be their friend. She does eventually talk to him first, but she's so nervous it comes out soft. But once she realizes he's been bullied, she gets mad because she thinks he's a cool person and doesn't deserve it (he doesn't). For Kanra, Xipil would probably think Kanra likes rocks, so she'll constantly return with geodes and gems. But Xipil does dig holes in her front yard to find more. So it's like she's part mole too, because somehow she'll always find a way to dig deep. Sometimes it's awkward because she'll just pop out of a hole with rocks and covered in dirt with a blank look on her face.
Quetzalli would immediately try and get them hats too, explaining that they're very important crew mates. She'll make sure the crew mascot is a shark, and she definitely wouldn't mind if Runie got confused. She herself gets confused too, but she wouldn't notice Kanra being mean. Only when Runie points it out, but even then she forgives Kanra because despite going through so much, she can't hate Kanra. She doesn't think it's right, so she learns to sew shark plushes for her. She would consider them her best friends, because eventually she realizes that there's people who do like when she yaps. She would also ask Runie to teach her how to bake so she could give him stuff in return.
Metztli would slightly look at Runie confused, but she definitely makes him bracelets. She hopes she can try and reassure that she's nice, but she would genuinely care (platonically). She would a hundred percent insult people mean to Runie and Kanra. Metztli would make Kanra jewelry, but huff a bit. She eventually gets a bit used to it.

EVILLLLLLL I WONT FALL FOR HIS CUTE TIRED EXPRESSION
I played the full demo so far and it's awesome. I loved how kind but slightly arrogant Qiu is. He/they're really cool and I loved how nice Tamarack was as well. The best trio trust me. (Mc or you?? I dunno), Tamarack and Qiu. BEST TRIO YES YES YES. Ok idk what im saying im really trying to devote my love to Qiu because they are my favorite person in the whole game. Also, I loved being rude to Darren because HE IS A JERK 👿. But i also said "It's okay if you don't want to talk to me..." and it said he looked sad. So maybe he's guilty because he's uncomfortable with new people-I could agree. I cannot really blame him. AND BAXTER!? SO KIND OML. If he was a love interest i'd take it but after learning that he sadly didn't visit in the future was sad and unfortunate. So maybe it'd never happen but anyways. Thank you for making this!! I love it and I plan to play the full game when it is done :)
idk if you know but baxter is a love interest in GB patches other game, Our life:B&A, but last i checked only if you buy that dlc]
Baxter is a love interest in Our Life: Beginnings & Always! His romance is locked behind a dlc, though.

Sketches of my tetherduo (Runie x Kanra)
:3
Can't have enough of those goofs , keep em coming!
Theyre actually so in love with eachother its disgusting
And you still question how you were convicted 🧐
She know exactly how to get what she wants from him.
To be fair who WOULDNT wanna be spoiled by Runie? 😢
KANRA WITH HER BIG OL' BUG EYES 😤😢 TY RAMU FOR THIS YUMMY DISH IT WAS DELICIOUS 10/10 WOULD EAT AGAIN 😋😋
SHES JUST A LITTLE CURIOUS KITTY BUG 🥹🥹
I just finished eating your art too GOOD LUCK GETTING IT BACK MUAHAHAHDHHABX
RUNIE LOOKS SO INSANELY CUTE LOOKING AT KANRA AT THE FIRST PIC I CANT MOVE ON
TRUE his thoughts are just full of how he can carry Kanra without her making a fit 😭😭
Child Ethan Fantasy AU wip. (Yes this is random. No I can't explain myself yet.)
He can make anyone do what he says with his voice if they respond to him :3 (W if you know what character I stole this from)
YOO, PANTS WITH STAR HOLES OMG ⁉️⁉️ is it that purple dude from mha that you stole the power from?? shinsou or smth idk
Yep! His names Shinso and I love him dearly. Also, I've always loved the idea of pants with stars so, yeah! ^_^
😧
Dear Summer child....too precious, gotta protect, and that Outfit......God he got the Style too..
Good to see you active again bud. Also Ethan as Shinso?
I've been motivated lately. Maybe I'll draw him in Shinso's actual outfit, but basically he's pretty Shinso coded ☝️🤓(← me frl)
Hihii!!Me and Luz have been very busy bees and now the discord is up and running!!! Nobody has to join right now but the option is here:

YAYY I DEFEATED THE BAN AND MADE AN ACC TOO I CAN JOIN NOW 🥳🥳🥳
Hey guys, things have been quieting down slowly, still don’t have time to draw yet though. But I thought I’d ask a simple question that I don’t think has been asked.
What is your MC’s handedness?
KitKat left-handed, Bacon is right-handed, and Sin is ambidextrous.
Blythe is right-handed! She would joke about being able to write on her left hand but when she does, it just looks like scribbles 😭😭
Runie is right handed and Kanra is ambidextrous!
Runie would say, “Its cause she needs two hands to double her evil deeds.” But I’d say its because shes just a curious little kitty who wanted to learn it because she saw it in a movie once ❤️
All of my MCs are right-handed!
Fio's right handed and Jude's left handed!!
Mari is left handed, Elias is right and Kel is ambidextrous 🩷🩷
The Scarf is Coming along nicely, at this rate i might finish it this weekend!
I'll tell y'all more bout it when i am done 😁
Funnily enough, I’m working on my own rope related activities this week.
Rope brothers!
double posting 😰😰😰 Kind of an MC related question, but do any of you have a pinterest board for your MC’s kinda vibe/aesthetic?? Or perhaps even boards of how you view other people’s MCs or the vibes/aesthetic they give you?? (I don’t have any regarding the second question but sometimes i do get the urge to do so 😓😓)(this might be a trap for you guys to show your boards/make ‘em 🤭🤭💗)
yu-ming 🥭🦌
and kojo 🚬🐍
nope, I don’t use Pinterest.
a shame, but fair 💔💔 i personally get a lot of, and use it for inspo 🙏 it’s really helpful for me but can be overwhelming at times i can not lie 😭😭
HOW DID YOU KNOW I HAD A BOARD FOR MY MC AESTHETICS AND OTHER PPL'S MC AESTHETICS 😨😨 are you living in my walls.. /j
yes… 😛😛 i am living there trust me (im not) honestly idk!! i just like making boards for my ocs and things i like (i have an olnf board 😋😋) so i wondered if other ppl did the same 😭😭
I DO HAVE ONE FOR SYLVAN AND TANTAN! Im planning to make Hiro's soon 😼😼 here it is
(Sylvan)
(TanTan)
THESE ARE FIRE I LOVE TANTAN’S THE MOST THOUGH I FEAE 😖😖
Finally drawn KitKat, I've forgotten everything I wanted to say in this post so I'll just image dump
These are the refs/template
Here's the finished version with all color combos. I didn't have the energy to make a sweater from scratch or a ponytail version for her hair like the old KitKat had.
OH!!!! HOLY LORD ALMIGHTY!!! SHE’S SO GORGEOUS!!!! *faints, dies, and goes to heaven*
I get not wanting to draw the ponytail man, angles are hard, I honestly don’t know why I torture myself like this. That’s part of why I gave her coat a hood, in case I was too lazy to draw her hair. She still has the ponytail though, it’s just hidden.
But in any case, I like seeing the old step 1 Kathryne design. I have plans to bring it back at a later step, sort of.
Yay! Compliments from THE Merry derivative, am I actually the one in heaven? (≧◡≦) ♡
Maybe I'll try it with the hood design some time or if I wanna torture myself I'll try the ponytail. Sorry I forgot to ask what she wears underneath the coat ( ╥ω╥ )
Looking forward to seeing her next design.
Oh, you actually weren’t too far off. She still wears her sweater from her first design
OMG, KITKAT TURNED FROM A BABY TO A BADDIE 🤯🤯🤯 SHE'S SO GORG, TY FOR THE YUMMY BREAKFAST GHOSTIE 😋😋
LMAO?? Your welcome? Wasn't expecting the baddie comment lol
I have another question, it's related to the mass mc drawing I'm doing. I want to draw my mcs interacting with yours, but, I don't want to mischaracterize them. Also I'm practicing more expressions, so yeah.
You can yap, and how do you think your mcs would interact with mine?
For reference, Xipil will not talk to anyone. She can talk, and used to ramble, but due to past bullying incidents (the scar on her cheek, the bullies wanted to get her to shut up), she has opted to go mute. She is very polite, and shows it through actions. The only way she makes friends is with her special rock collection, dubbed "Frienship Rocks". She got this from penguins, since that's how they court. But she doesn't know this and thought that's how they made friends. So if she gives you a rock, she wants to be your friend.
Metztli is very confident and is actually pretty serious. Befriending her is kind of hard because she's not used to people wanting to be her friend. She's very blunt too, and her need to be perfect gets in the way of her actually being nice. But if you're her friend, she will be very protective of you.
Quetzalli is very flighty. She will often run away or freeze, purely because she doesn't know how to speak to people. Like Xipil, she was made fun of for wanting to be a captain, and her rants on ships. It's worse if she finds someone pretty/handsome, because she knows she's awkward and doesn't want to embarrass herself in front of them. If you were to attempt to talk to her, just hand her something she can fidget with (like a stick), and she'll stay and let you talk to her. Just don't mind her slight stutter and frantic nods, she's trying her best to speak. She'll also squeak when caught off guard, but if you're friend, she'll refer to you as first mate.
Bacon is kind of the opposite of your mc’s he’s extremely extroverted and friendly.. So he would likely be able to get along with Xipil even if she doesn’t talk much as he doesn’t really mind. He could likely get along with Metztli if they realized that because of his mental disabilities, he likely doesn’t mean her any harm. Quetzalli on the other hand, would be completely overwhelmed by him.
Sin is can definitely get along with Xipil, they’re no stranger to befriending quiet kids, and would definitely step in to do the talking for her. Sin may be outgoing but they do know how to dial their energy back so they’d likely act more calmly around Queztalli and act kind of like a kind big sibling. Sin is a master at understanding people. They’d probably faili to talk to Metztli several time, before she realized that Sin actually wants to be friends.
Kathryne, doesn’t start any conversations herself until step 3 due to not speaking English. She and Xipil would likely have to be introduced by Qiu and Tamarack and it would be very awkward. I feel like they’d get along though, even if they never speak. She and Metztli could probably be friends, I’d feel like Metztli would start talking to KitKat and overtime, they become friends, even if Kathryne can’t tell her that. Xipil and KitKat would have a very awkward relationship, Kathryne would probably scare her off at first due to her cold nature. But Quetzalli would likely start ranting about ships one day when she sees a picture of Kathryne from when she was still in Greenland since nearly all towns are along the coast.
Zephyr is kinda adaptable so he would be awkward with Xipil but still give a slight smile and guide the conversation as long as Xipil is comfortable with it ( while hoping someone they're both friends with comes by).
With Metztli I feel like he'd ask just the right question to make her rant about something while nodding and open smiling.
And with Quetzalli he'd probably give her a candy or some snack, maybe sit in silence afterwards until he asks to play something.
For El, he doesn't talk directly to whoever it is during first meetings until he finds them somewhat trustable. After that he's kinda like a comfort friend, anyone can lean on him (shorty) and he doesn't mind being left out of conversation as long as he's present.
YAYAYAY!!! Ive been WAITING to explore their dynamics so please correct me if i accidentally mischaracterize any of your MC’s!
Runie 🌟🌼
- Xipil: It’d be a slowburn friendship to me! Specially cos Runie is so wary of his strength (he has abnormal strength.. like Shizuo Heiwajima strength) that in Step 1 and Step 2 he doesnt wanna scare Xipil away, so this would be another Runie Shield moment(tm) where Runie early on in Step 1 would just protect Xipil from anything dangerous and likes her (platonically) from afar. In late Step 2 I believe he’d work up the courage to talk to her.
It’ll start as an awkward friendship at first but once they slowly get to learn about each other more and bond (ALSO they get to bond over getting bullied so early on in their childhood which makes my heart ache 💔💔)
Their dynamic in a nutshell: Soft Stronk and Soft Sweet
- Metztli: Runie would come to respect and admire her but they wouldnt become realllyyy close. Maybe like, more than acquaintances but less than friends. He really admires Metztli’s attitude (he doesnt know abt her perfectionism) and sometimes will just give her random baked goods if he made too much. (Runie kinda feels a littleee intimidated by her so thats one of the reasons hes hesitant to talk to her skxnnsnd)
- Quetzalli: Oh Runie would LOVE to be part of her crew! You know that Markiplier jingle jangle clip? Id like to think thats how he made friends with her when they first met 😭 Runie lets her rant about her interests about being a Captain and her endless knowledge of ships even if he sometimes doesnt have a clue and gets confused but does his best.. even if he says something completely stupid and remembers the names of the ships wrong 😭😭
Id also like to think that whenever they go to the beach to hang out or go on a boat ride, Runie would prepare batches of treats that are marine themed and give them to Quetzalli so they can eat it together :’3
NOW ONTO KANRA!! She may be a bit difficult to get along with so.. most of them will either end in slowburn or strangers 🥲
Kanra🍓🐞
- Xipil: actually,, gets really interested with the friendship rocks thing that she does, prompting her to research about penguins, ended up liking that animal, and now studying Xipil because thats the closest thing to a penguin shes got.
She starts interacting with her. Not, like, in the traditional sense. But more like she sits next to her quietly as she reads or writes in her notebook, she chooses to spend time nearby Xipil or Metztli because she finds both of them interesting and not too annoying for her (in her terms)
I feel like she’d feel calm enough with Xipil that she tries to learn social cues and not be rude TwT.
- Metztli: Kanra would actively try and try to set her off 💔 she absolutely loves breaking down peoples facades so I dont think Metztli would honestly like her because of how manipulative and invasive she is. Unfortunately though I think Kanra would still do it for her studies and for her own personal interests. (See: her having subclinical Psychopathy and has a hobby of trying to gauge out peoples emotions and reactions because she can only feel emotions but its very muted.)
So im SO sorry Metztli but I think Kanra would still continue to do this to her all the way through Step 1 to Step 4 😭😭 (is this her way of making friends? Probably yes. Does she realise its rude and its offensive to Metztli? Nope not a clue)
- Quetzalli: Surprisingly I think with a bit of time and effort I think Kanra would come to like her. With Kanra’s fixation on sharks she wouldnt mind being a part of her crew. Although she’d probably get scolded by Runie if she starts being a bit mean and manipulative with Quetzalli which would in turn make Kanra learn more on social nuances and boundaries. I think theyd be friends in the middle of Step 2. And if they were, their dynamic would be the talker x listener because even though Kanra isnt good at talking, shes an amazing listener as well and can honestly have a whole 4 hour debate and conversation with Quetzalli about marine life and ships (she’d also learn more about ships for her. Kanra would never admit that she did it for her though LOL)
You gave me diabetes. But for real, you didn't mischaracterize them at all! I love how each of them have different interactions, and their dynamics too! The jingle jangle markiplier clip is now confirmed to be how Quetzalli became friends with Runie. Thank you for the wonderful drawing ideas too, by the way. AND SPEAKING OF RUNIE AND KANRA, I drew them. I sincerely hope I did it right, but I might post it later when it's complete. Also sorry about the yap and potential mischaracterize of your mcs, but here's how I think Xipil, Metztli, and Quetzalli would respond. Let me know if I need to correct anything!
Xipil would actually think Runie was cool, and be a bit confused with Kanra. But she'd definitely give them rocks to be their friend. She does eventually talk to him first, but she's so nervous it comes out soft. But once she realizes he's been bullied, she gets mad because she thinks he's a cool person and doesn't deserve it (he doesn't). For Kanra, Xipil would probably think Kanra likes rocks, so she'll constantly return with geodes and gems. But Xipil does dig holes in her front yard to find more. So it's like she's part mole too, because somehow she'll always find a way to dig deep. Sometimes it's awkward because she'll just pop out of a hole with rocks and covered in dirt with a blank look on her face.
Quetzalli would immediately try and get them hats too, explaining that they're very important crew mates. She'll make sure the crew mascot is a shark, and she definitely wouldn't mind if Runie got confused. She herself gets confused too, but she wouldn't notice Kanra being mean. Only when Runie points it out, but even then she forgives Kanra because despite going through so much, she can't hate Kanra. She doesn't think it's right, so she learns to sew shark plushes for her. She would consider them her best friends, because eventually she realizes that there's people who do like when she yaps. She would also ask Runie to teach her how to bake so she could give him stuff in return.
Metztli would slightly look at Runie confused, but she definitely makes him bracelets. She hopes she can try and reassure that she's nice, but she would genuinely care (platonically). She would a hundred percent insult people mean to Runie and Kanra. Metztli would make Kanra jewelry, but huff a bit. She eventually gets a bit used to it.
no thank YOU for drawing ideas BECAUSE THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE GOODDBYEEEE I AM ASCENDINGGG 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Oh and she would let them call her Zalli if they wanted to.
I can confirm the jingle jangle markiplier clip is exactly how they became friends. Quetzalli would be too distracted by the bell to run.
Runie when he senses Quetzalli running away when hes trying to befriend her:
