In the girl bands debut, the group concept was fairly incomplete upon their first public appearance. So their first album is only based on the namesake of Candy Hearts (aka conversation hearts) but their concepts mature after the first album.
The mix up was at the fault of the company but their producer and songwriter are more than willing to work with the opinions of the band members!
Vivian is the lead singer, Azzy is the keyboardist, Cassa is the bassist, Lina is the drummer, and Frannie is the guitarist!
For this step, he doesn't have anything visual modifications as far as piercings or dyed hair. But he does have bandaids because he is fairly clumsy when it comes running or skating. And he bumps into walls (T T)
He is mostly in a state of anger during this step too
STEP TWO
Charmaine is acting put together but is not! Hence the overall unkeptness of her hair. She has a industrial piercing and various others. They have also dyed their hair to look less bland in a way! She wants fo be more colorful.
She is mostly in a stage of stress during this step
STEP THREE
He wear more simple piercings in this step but has gotten her septum pierced between steps. She does her makeup now as well!
Her hair is grown out from being fully cranberry but has recently been dyed with chunky highlights of cranberry instead.
They have mellowed out from their younger years and can now accept change and cope with it! But the future is still uncertain which is slightly concerning for her...
Her hair reminds me of peanut butter and jelly with her makeup reminds me of neapolitan ice cream. Very food themed apparently (^ ^)
step 2 & 3 chiu (chey x qiu) versus step 2 & 3 tamvery (tamarack x avery)
chiu is disastrous slowburn yearning 100k word angst while tamvery is your classic friends to lovers + first two in the friendgroup to be in a committed relationship
Despite the fact that Nene is an MC for OLNF, I haven't done anything directly related to the game in a while. I'm severely lacking in Nene and LIs content. I really need to do more with these three (• ▽ •;)
Consider this my peace offering, I guess. I love Qiu and Tamarack. I really do. I just have this internalized fear of drawing/portraying them incorrectly. I know how beloved these two (and all Our Life characters) are to this fandom, and I guess that's where my fear comes from.
Of course, this fandom is very kind and welcoming, so I'm (very slowly) getting over this fear.
So, let's talk about Selena and the two LIs :D (Get ready for the yap fest. I'm warning you (• ▽ •;))
I haven't talked much about Step 3 since there's not a lot of content related to it right now, but I'll just talk about a few things that I think would be relevant.
I did a video about Selena's confession to Qiu. I sent it to one of my friends, and their immediate question was whether they kissed or not. So, I'm here to address that... They didn't. They didn't kiss.
Qiu understands Nene's boundaries. They grew up together, after all. They wouldn't kiss her without warning. At least, that's my assumption. The end of the video went something like this:
Qiu wipes Selena's tears and tells her to not apologize for her feelings. She doesn't have to 'get over it,' if those are her true feelings.
She thanks Qiu, and hurriedly separates from them. And just as she's about to ask if Qiu just happens to return her feelings, her mom is calling her away.
My friend accused me of not wanting Nene to be happy, but I swear that's not true (･ัω･ั) I love me a yearning couple, and Qiu and Nene's relationship is a representation of that. Selena and Qiu have cared about each other from Step 1 onwards, whether or not they knew the words for it.
Nene has always been worried about crossing the line with Qiu, especially as they grew up and faced a struggle with their identity. Qiu, on the other hand, doesn't want to make assumptions about Nene, especially considering people have made assumptions about her for years. They're at a stalemate. What breaks it? When Nene decides to study abroad.
I have such a soft spot for airport confessions. They make me tear up every time I see them in media. So, obviously, that's the route I took with these two.
As everyone says goodbye to Selena, she hesitates when speaking with Qiu. Does she finally give in and just say what's been weighing on her heart for years? Or does she let the little voice in her head win?
She doesn't say anything, at first, but as she watches Qiu walk away, she says enough is enough. She's grown so much. She deserves to be happy, and she knows Qiu's the one that's always made her happy.
She grabs their sweater, almost deciding against it as they face her. But she does it. She tells Qiu she's in love with him, and she wants to be their girlfriend, if that's what they want too. Because she can see Qiu being the one in her future because they've been there for the past and the present.
And yes, they kiss. (Everyone, cheer). I like to think it would be one of those hesitant kisses. Like, Qiu cups her face, leans in, but hesitates. They make eye contact, and Selena nods. And boom! Kiss :D (Can you see my fanfiction roots peeking in?)
And that's enough about Qiu. Time to talk about Tamarack :D
Tamarack is an absolute star in Nene's eyes. Always has been. But Tamarack has also been a rock for Nene. When Nene was shy in Step 1, Tamarack was her advocate. No, Nene doesn't have to talk, if she doesn't want to. You can't force her! The other kids were being mean to her? Here comes Tamarack to stand up for her. To be honest, I totally think Nene could've had a crush on Tamarack, but similarly to Qiu, she didn't know how crushes worked until she got older. And by then, I think Nene truly saw Tamarack as a friend, even as a part of her family. Someone she could always rely on and trust.
In Step 2, Tamarack is less sure of herself, but Nene decides it's her time to be a rock for Tamarack. Nene is her biggest cheerleader and hype woman. In Tamarack's case, it's completely authentic compared to her classmates. If Tamarack has a bad day, Nene is quick to drop whatever she's doing to go check up on her. Reassurance is a two way street with these two. Nene tells Tamarack she loves her outfit, Tamarack reciprocates with the same compliment. When Nene has a chance to go out by herself, she makes sure to extend the invitation to Tamarack (and Qiu, if she builds up the nerves to ask).
Now, in Step 3, these two are inseparable. If you spot Tamarack, there's always a chance Selena is there too. Tamarack tries her best to nudge Nene into talking to Qiu about how she feels. She never says it outright, but Nene gets the message. Tamarack is probably the biggest advocate of these two. If she finds a chance to leave these two alone, she's finding an excuse. What a wing woman. Speaking of which, Tamarack's also the one who reassured Selena when she was unsure about studying abroad. She knows Nene's greatest passion is astronomy, and if being abroad would help, she should do it. She deserves the future she's worked for, and she shouldn't need to feel bad for it. That was the final push that Selena needed, and she applied. Tamarack's the first to know, and they almost wake up the whole street with their excited cheers.
I talked so much about these two that I might not have more to talk about in the future, but ideas will probably pop in my mind (◡ ω ◡) Perhaps I'll talk more about Qiu and Selena in their actual relationship now that I've finally discussed the true confession :0
(Also, also, side note: I was totally going to post this tomorrow, but apparently, there's a blackout scheduled. It means my Internet's going to be gone for a while. I'd rather just post this now, especially since I'll be offline almost completely tomorrow. So, yay, for a double post :D)
Her name is Evridiki Adamantia (I don't have a surname for her, Adamantia is her middle name)!! She's VERYYY steam punk if you couldn't tell
She's fully Greek! I inspired her off of Athena, hephaestus, and Eurydice and a lot of more Greek mythology.. Her main inspirations are Sandrone from genshin, Idia shroud, and Greek mythology
Okay Evri is a cocky and confident girl because she's a child prodigy. She has very obnoxious attitude
Her twin sister, Feideriki, follows her every command. Whenever she needs or wants this and that, Feideriki always and already has it ready. She basically uses her sister like a maid to do her bidding, But of course, she cares for her as well.
Even if she is as obnoxiously entitled due to her genius mind, she still respect maybe.. A few people. People don't like her bc of her entitlement and her using her sister like a servant
