F.A.Q
Q: What is this?
A: Quitland; my weird experiment that involves an island in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream with 60 Mii's that are all the exact same as each other. Every single Mii is named "Quit", then with a number to specify which Quit they are. There's the first Quit, dubbed "Original Quit", and then 59 more Quits. Each Quit develops slightly differently from the last, so you never know what they're going to do...
All Quits are based on him ^. "The One True Original Quit", who exists on my main save file prior to making Quitland. Every single one has the same face, personality, voice, dating preferences, birthday, and event outfits as this Quit.
Q: Are there ANY differences between the 60 Quits?
A: Only one. That being their gender. Quit 1 is male, Quit 2 is female, and Quit 3 is nonbinary. From there the rest of the Quits were added in gender order; with Male being first, Female being second, and Nonbinary being third. So Quits 4-22 are male, 23-41 are female, and 42-60 are nonbinary. This means there's a perfect even split between the three in-game gender options, being 20 of each. So if you're ever curious on what gender a Quit is, most lower numbers are male, higher numbers are nonbinary, and everything in-between is female.
Q: Does the island have any rules?
A: Quitland has one main rule: I must interfere with the Quits lives as little as possible. This means I can't pick a Quit up and force them to interact with another Quit, they have to choose to do so. This also means I can't give a Quit food, clothing, or a treasure unless they ask me to. I can only act on what the Quits request, so if a Quit is wearing a different piece of clothing that means they asked me for clothes (I also try and stay as accurate to what the Quit asks for if I can, if a Quit asks for "cool clothes" I try to give them cool clothes).
Q: How is leveling up handled? What do you give the Quits?
A: I started this without having any specific rules for leveling up in mind, but as I progressed I began giving Quits little quirks that best fit their personality and the actions they had taken throughout the island. A particularly flirty Quit would get the quirks that made them look cuter, for example. As far as I can tell, these quirks don't seem to have an impact on how Quits interact, although more testing is needed.
Q: Can I add Quit to my island/can I draw Quit?
A: Of course!!! Never hesitate to create your own Quit, he is a creature of the people and anyone is free to use him on their own islands! You can follow the Quit Creation guide linked above if you want, or you can make him your own way! And I'm open to fan art of any kind (so long as its not hateful towards anyone, of course). You can post fan art in my asks and I'll always answer making it visible on my page, or you can post it yourself and use the #Quitland tag so I don't miss it!
Q: Can I send you a question about Quitland?
A: My ask page is always open, so anyone can always ask a question about Quit whenever they want! But I must specify that I won't answer every question, either because I have no interesting answer to give or I simply don't know what to say.
Q: Who's Original Quit?
A: Original Quit is basically just "Quit 1", the first Quit added to the island. He's called "Original" by the other Quits, and because of the fact that he was used during the games tutorial he is usually a higher level than the rest. He is also the first Quit to get into a relationship, that being with Quit 3!
At the time of writing this, Original looks like this:
Q: Who's Quit 28 and Quit 48?
A: Those two are Quits that have had an ongoing relationship arc for multiple episodes. They started on episode 1, with Quit 48 having a crush on Quit 28. It then began steadily developing through most episodes after that..you'll have to read the posts to know more...
At the time of writing this, 28 and 48 look like this (48 is on the left, 28 is on the right):
Q: Who's Quit 35?
A: Oh boy...Quit 35 is a bit of a playboy Quit. She has a track-record for quickly falling in and out of love with numerous other Quits. It's possible she's just fickle, but some say her love is so great she can't contain it within just one Quit...her constant new crushes have developed her a bit of a small fan group.
At the time of writing this, 35 looks like this:
Q: Who's Quit 27?
A: 27 is a Quit who frequently gets into fights and seems to always be angry when walking around the island. They've gained a bit of a reputation as the island asshole...and trust me, they deserve the reputation. Oh, and 27 is also my favorite number...yay!
At the time of writing this, 27 looks like this:
Q: Who are the "Ice-Cream Sandwich Society"?
A: The ICSS is a group of 3 Quits, who are all members of a self-proclaimed "Ice-Cream Sandwich Society". They can all be easily picked out in a crowd by their costumes. The members include Quit 39 (Biker Quit), Quit 36 (Demon Quit), and Quit 57 (Chicken Quit). The three frequently hang out, and are a pretty memorable bunch.
Q: Who's Quit 11?
A: 11 is a notable Quit for being very friendly by Quit standards. Quits naturally conflict with one another and will easily fall into small arguments, because of this many of them only have small friend groups of 1-3. However, 11 is the outlier with an impressively large number of friends! Generally a likable Quit, a rarity amongst this hardy group.
At the time of writing this, Quit 11 looks like this:
Q: Who's "The One True Original Quit"?
A: Not to be confused with "Original Quit", this is the ACTUAL first Quit. The Quit I made on my Wii all those years ago, and the one who resides on my main Living the Dream island. One of his more memorable features is his speaking quirk, he starts sentences with "Start" and ends them with "Cease", something Quit 1 on Quitland has also adopted. He's a bit of a religious figure to the Quits on Quitland, who are all clones of this the True Original Quit. Billboards of the True Original Quits creation can be found across the island, which is largely what sparked his God-like status amongst the Quits. What True Original Quit thinks of the Quitland clones is unclear...or if he even had a hand in their creation at all.
Q: What's the "Church of Anti-Quit"?
A: They're a group of cult-like Quits that worship a mysterious being known as Start. Their members vary from episode to episode, but the main two are Quit 23 and Quit 40. 23 is their leader, a stoic Quit who's headstrong and focused on her goals. Quit 40 is second in command, this Quit is more aloof but is theorized to be the secret brains behind the operation...
At the time of writing, Quit 23 and 40 look like this:
Q: Who's Quitling Jo?
A: Jo was the first "Quitling" to be added to the island, which is the name the community decided to call baby Quits. He's a positive little guy who has some self-worth trouble...possibly brought upon by being surrounded by 60 of the same guy. He also has frequent (unwanted) communes with other-worldly ghosts and spirits. Why he can see into the ethereal plane is unclear...
His parents are Quit 28 and 48, and he looks like this at the time of writing:
Q: Who is Quitling Harper?
A: Harper is the second Quitling born on the island. More intelligent then Jo but much more aloof, Harper enjoys alone time more then the average Quit. He has frequent troubles with the Church of Anti-Quit, due to his parents being apart of the church. He was born into the cult, but he never saw eye to eye with its leader...
His parents are 4 and 38, and he looks like this at the time of writing:
Q: Who is Start?
A: Start is an intimidating and mysterious force. Worshiped by the Church of Anti-Quit, they were summoned onto the island by 23 and 40 with the help of Jo's paranormal abilities. Their summoning was intentionally sabotaged by Jo, so they aren't at full-power--and its debated if they are even the true Start to begin with. Despite their sinister background, they appear to be friendly and outgoing...but it's unclear if this is an act used to lure the Quits into false security, or if it's genuine...
At the time of writing, Start looks like this:
thought abt them for too long and my stomach started hurting so i assembled a bath kit for them. please drag the silk soap and various accoutrements and gently wash them with me. if you feel so inclined.
dudes online used to spend 72 hours on photoshop uninterrupted editing people’s faces to look scary and we called the finished product some shit like jeff the killer and put him in spirit halloween and on wikipedia These days you open tumblr and top of dash is a 42 note edit of jerma’s face so fucked up looking that it could’ve been used to texture a corpse in a y2k valve game and you get a little nauseous and otherwise just keep scrolling. and this is known as “a tuesday

^^^ i spent all night and yesterday compiling information about a "phantom report bug", where people are getting emails from tumblr support about TOS reports they did not file. pjackk was banned off one of these phantom reports, i told tumblr support about it, and now he's unbanned. i think @garaks-padded-bra was also banned erroneously off a phantom report, so hopefully that will get reversed soon as well
PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR PHANTOM REPORT EMAILS. if you spot any, even if theyre old, tell me about them so i can add them to the list (linked above), and report them to tumblr support. POLITELY. tumblr support wants to fix this.
I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with
But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy
I just binged @thelunar27's quitland series while baked and I'm completely obsessed. Quit 23 is my favorite by a long shot she's my quorbo (quit blorbo). Tho I also really like Jo and homewrecker quit. Anyway I think its super interesting how tho being compared to The One True Original Quit is what started her rise to prominence, part of her cult leader garb prominently features a striking mask that covers her whole face, thus divorcing her from the identity of a quit. And that with the wings gives her the likeness of a bird, I like thinking of her as an albino crow but she could also be a white dove perhaps? God I love her. #feminism
I'm imagining a world where RPGMaker somehow made it as the de facto codebase for software and you have to navigate your banking app by walking around in a huge room full of NPCs named "make deposit" and "make withdrawal" etc and there's loud as fuck stock music playing
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMETHING JUST HAPPENED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my first album is up on bandcamp! it's got a variety of songs i've made over the past few months + some bonus songs i made a few years ago. lots of chiptune, some trance, some other random stuff. enjoy :)
