say i were to draw Reth in swimwear as well.... should i keep his hair and bandana the same? maybe cram his twisty thingies back into a li'l pony too and drop the bandana? a mix? so many options... 🤔
my disappointment was immeasurable after playing the new update and confirming that s6 did in fact only give Nai'o a new summer fit, so i had to take matters into my own hands. here's Tish!!
instead of just throwing whatever on her i decided to base her swimsuit pretty closely on her canon fit, both as a sort of adaptation challenge and for recognizability. i think she turned out so cutie :3
i am sadge that i am now out of Galdur to draw human forms of :( i mean i guess i could come up with a human Gardener but i don't even have the tiniest clue what the hell i'd do with him. head on a plate? idk
anyways, hc au time! like my Einar one, i imagine this 'human' Hekla is actually still a robot/Galdur, they were just made hyperrealistic. instead of being found by Jina, she's found by Jina's dad when Jina's a baby, and once he introduces Hekla to Jina, she immediately latches onto her 🥺 when Jina gets a bit older and they realize she needs glasses, she insists on getting round ones like her Hekla has!
i wanna draw my human Hekla now... and i'm considering whether i should draw her with my own made up baby Sona or a baby version of Jina 🤔 i'd do potato Sona for shits n gigs but i don't think it'd make much sense for a human Hekla to be taking care of a potato baby lol
after being inspired by @theearloftophats to draw my human Einar, i present: Earl's human Einar and OC human Rorik!!
they're just so cute i had to 🥺
i did tweak Einar's design slightly by combining elements from a couple drawings, bc like i said before i really love both the cowl look and the fishing vest look, aaand i couldn't bear to choose between them lol. but otherwise i tried my best to stay true to their designs, just in my own style!!
thanks again to Earl for all the kind words!! i really get nervous being the first to reach out and i super appreciated the warm response ♥
(also Earl if there's anything you'd want tweaked i'd be happy to make adjustments! otherwise feel free to use it however you'd like, it's all yours lmao)
putting a transparent background version under the cut!
figured i should probably just make a masterpost instead of making a new post every time i upload a character's voice lines to youtube, so here it is!! i'll add other characters as they become romanceable :) could also do comps of their friendship lines at some point if anyone would be interested in those! i've also gone through and transcribed and timestamped every line in the descriptions for easy search/reference!
Einar
Hassian
Hodari
Jel
Jina
Kenyatta
Nai'o
Reth has comps done by other people here and here!
Hello I so so appreciate you making the hodari and einar voice compilations!! Please never stop I would love to hear every romanceable character's lines (I would so love hassians he's my favourite) 💚
gotchu!! i went ahead and uploaded tish and nai'o's romance lines to youtube since i already had them done, and i'm working on getting together hassian's right now! i'm gonna make a masterpost with links to all of them <3
SO in my perusal of the Einar tag a few days ago i came across this post by @theearloftophats showing their fanart of a human Einar and it inspired me to revisit my own human Einar design!
i originally came up with his design a few years ago when i was trying to make all the palia characters in the sims, and i failed epicly for him and Hekla so i ultimately decided to just make human versions of them (here's a screenshot of him! and the og cursed attempt). when drawing him now, i was lowkey tempted to steal a few ideas from Earl's human ver lol, bc i love how they translated parts of his design--using a cowl to get across the sort of neck situation he's got goin on, the cream-colored vest to get across the upper chassis with a brown undershirt to represent the darker arms, the sort of bellbottoms to get across the way his lower legs widen? mwah 💋 but i digress!
anyways yes i hit my Einar with the pretty-boy gun because nobody can stop me (but don't let the deceptively pretty facade fool you, every design choice was thought out with an embarrassing amount of consideration toward his canon design). i was trying to do something a li'l different style-wise and i'm so happy with how it came out!! especially cuz i've only recently really gotten into digital art, i like never bother with backgrounds, and i don't draw dudes often. i kept pausing while i was drawing to just stare at my handsome boi lmao
in my hc for this he's actually still a robot, just a super realistic one. he's oblivious and does not understand why people get so flustered around him 🥺
my nephew got into the game and came to visit my house, probably spent an hour there just getting his horse onto all my furniture and clipping it through the walls lol
i was looking online to see if anyone made nice compilations of palia character's (*cough cough* my boos) voice lines but i was only able to find good ones for Reth (x, x), sooo naturally i decided to take it upon myself to make my own compilations!
here's Einar's romance voice lines!!
i also made a compilation of his friendship lines, along with compilations of romance lines of a few of other characters, but i haven't posted them yet because … i don't know who else cares about this kinda stuff lol, i just figured i might as well share Einar's romance lines to my Einar Stan Blog. i plan to at least post Hodari's since i'm sure there's gotta be Hodari simps out there that would enjoy unfettered access to hearing him call them darlin'. but if anyone would like comps for other characters, let me know!
also sorry the video is. Not Cute. i couldn't be bothered to do anything more lol. but it's for listening pleasure anyway so, uh ... it's fine. right.
i wonder if there are any palia discord servers or something with people who are cool with discussing leaks Potential Future Updates… i know devs have not been ... favorable about them and the community isn't really one that likes to disobey Da Rules but like man i come from other fandoms where talking about this kinda stuff is the norm 😭
finally finished the first chapter of my EinarxPlayer fic!! naturally had to draw my OC, Clara, and put her with Einar to get a nice visual of the bonkers ass size difference :3
link to Ebb and Flow on ao3! it’s 8.7k (for now!) and while the fic is rated e it’s currently actually more of a t rating and will remain that way for quite a while
so i've been researching and taking notes about a lot of stuff to keep in mind for my PlayerxEinar fic and one thing that's really been bothering me is the matter of Einar's original Oneness, the one the Gardener created him with, and the fact that ... it’s never brought up?
autistic rambling under the read more lol
so Mudan's day 1 log confirms he took a constructor Galdur and gave him an additional Oneness—the desire to fish. that makes it seem at first glance that construction, in some form, was Einar’s initial Oneness. but dialogue from the Gardener makes it more clear that reference to Galdur 'Constructors' is really just a body class/type thing, not inherently a specific Oneness itself, particularly when he says that restoration of the factory would require “a talented Constructor with an architectural Oneness”
then the day 83 log brings up how Mudan gave Einar a Oneness to connect with others. when i looked into if other people had talked about his original Oneness, i saw someone claim that it was to be Mudan's friend, and i imagine that they got this idea from this log, but i’m certain that has to be wrong. like, given that this Oneness was only first mentioned here, months later, i feel like it's pretty safe to assume that Mudan gave him it after fishing, aka it's not his original Oneness. even ignoring the timeline though, the fact that Mudan specifically says that he himself gave that Oneness to Einar pretty much confirms outright it wasn’t the one he was originally created with when the Gardener made him
day 309, Mudan notes that Einar created his own Oneness for collecting shiny pebbles. obviously, 100% it's not his original Oneness
other Onenesses that Einar himself says he has include admiring his lookout, standing quietly in pleasant environments, listening to the music from his music box, and, likely extensions of his Oneness for connecting with others, conversations, learning of emotions, and learning new words and phrases. something i find interesting is that he once states that spending time with people is not a Oneness of his, in spite of his Oneness to connect with others. but, if you’re romancing him, he also starts to consider whether time with you is a new Oneness. anyway, during the Luna New Year Maji Market, Einar also says he's filled with Oneness watching others play hot pot, that his Oneness would be pleased if his wish is fulfilled, and finally that he'd be filled with Oneness seeing tiny Einars on display at a market, although in these cases i think these things aren’t true Onenesses in and of themselves but rather they’re also extensions of other Onenesses he has (like watching others play hot pot relates to connecting with people cuz he’s learning about them)
aaand that’s it. no other mentions of other Onenesses. soo ... what was his original Oneness? it’s really weird to literally just never bring it up when it’s something he should be consistently longing for. even if he somehow grew out of having it as a Oneness, that itself also seems like something to bring up.
after much thought and looking over the confirmed Onenesses he has, i've considered that his original Oneness might just be ... observation? because the ones he says he has basically all involve the observation of things, in various ways. he never says it so plainly though, making it seem like those things are distinct Onenesses rather than being extensions of an overarching Oneness for observation, but maybe they really are just different ways he goes about fulfilling that Oneness. i think it also makes sense for a king to want his own Galdur with a Oneness for observation, even if he would go on to do some experimental Oneness stuff with him. but even if that’s the answer, it’s still weird that, again, it’s literally never brought up
on a meta level, i feel that the most likely answer is just devs literally forgot to give him one, and it’s a sort of happy accident that observation seems like a good fit, but i do not accept that as an answer
