Tomodachi Life: Mayonaka Island update!!

Current population of Mayonaka Island (hasn't changed from last time):

Non-AU: Sleuth, Pickle, Ace, Slick, Droog, Deuce, Boxcars, Dame, Broad, Snowman, Ms Paint

Mobswitch AU: Scofflaw, Innovator, Deadeye, Scout

Gangshuffle AU: Steward (PS), Imagineer (PI), Deor (6), Yusha (7) Scourge (SS)

Marriages are happening!!

Pickle and Droog are married! Droog is contemplating having children. No idea what to name any kids. Do I get to pick what they look like or is it auto-generated??? if I can pick maybe we can go into stabdads territory

Ace and Dame are married too!!! Ace wanted to propose first but I told him to wait since I wasn't sure Dame was on the same page, but then Dame asked to so hey, fuck it. Can't wait for their kid to be sonhearst. Never would've expected Dame to be wifehearst....

Broad STILL has not made a move on Boxcars and boy have I been TRYING to make this happen. She does attend like, every fan club for every celebrity though (that is, Demimonde Semigoddess and Ryan North)

Scofflaw is no longer crushing on Deor but finally has started crushing on Scout. Innovator likes Scofflaw. Deadeye likes Scout. Scout is oblivious. What a tangled web we weave

Snowman asked me if she should confess her love for Deor, I told her no, but this is Snowman so she did not listen. Imagineer AND Yusha interrupted. Deor, shockingly, chose Yusha. I couldn't be more pleased. Snowy got over it. Maggie is unbothered.

Maggie and Steward are dating yay!!!!

I was about to write that I find it funny that Deuce hasn't gotten into any romantic entanglements yet, but then I picked up my Switch and he caught a crush on Boxcars. Now he and Broad are rivals.

Deadeye tried to move in with Scout, but they couldn't agree that they should spend their days Arresting Scofflaw. Thankfully Scout changed his mind about this.

The whole town is abuzz about a Scofflaw's Ass.

[GANGSHUFFLE]

The Mutinous Cabal

Marvel Capital's crew of self-proclaimed watchdogs. They keep an eye out on whatever's brewing on the city's notorious criminal underbelly- with a little cut of the pie, of course. Gotta keep their heads above water, after all.

Posing as their figurehead is the ever charming and mysterious DEBONAIR DESPOT, an ex-soldier turned vigilante. He's a quiet, dedicated man with the energy of a restless cat. Of course, when you have the ability to see the future, wouldn't that make you restless as well?

The real boss hiding behind the curtain is SCRUTINOUS SCOURGE, the visionary behind Marvel Capital's creation. He's madly in love with his city, and rumor has it he's made a deal with a Terror to secure her flourishing in exchange for his sight. God complex? Seems pretty simple to him!

With their intel guy, COGENT DEALER- a former Dersite agent- and medic turned heavy muscle, HARMONIC BASTION, the Cabal keep the shadows in line and out of the light of day. It's their city.

Team Ace

A gang of dishonorably discharged ex-coppers, teamed up with the goal of cleaning up Marvel Capital's dirty laundry. Little do they know, they've already passed their hero arc. Everyone else starts looking like a villain when you think you're the protagonist, after all.

Leading their rather suspicious charge from the shadows is the obstinate POLEMIC IMAGINEER. They say that cute face hides the wrath of God.

Functioning as the 'man in charge' is ACEPHALOUS DICTUM. But his friends, and his co-workers, and.. Well. Everyone calls him ACE DICK. Tired father of one girl and two grown-ass men.

And every ragtag group needs a poster boy, and for Team Ace that boy is the grown-ass man, PROSAIC STEWARD. He's. Uh. Been in a rough spot since a.. Particular even that happened before he was kicked from the Marvel Capital Police Department.

They seem at odds amongst themselves often with their goals- but when they pose as a threat? Shit just gets REAL.

The Flux

The top yakuza syndicate in the Marvel Capital. Having taken over during a vulnerable time for the city, they've had their claws dug deep into the corner of every block in every district. No gang seems stand a chance against them and their wide array of magical abilities- utlizing Shadow and Temporal magic alike.

The Flux use number based aliases, with their real names mainly unbeknownst to the public. But two in particular send shudders down the spine of even the most notorious oyabun in the city's underworld.

Number Six, DEOR. The big boss himself. A reclusive man who stands firm in his ideals, hellbent on sucking Marvel Capital dry before running it into the ground. Some say he's got a powerful Terror pact- other's claim he's a naturally gifted Green Sun mage. No one's lived long enough to determine for sure which one's true.

Number Seven, YUSHA. Deor's personal lapdog. He's never seen without a smile, nor without his Crowbar. People who know him say he's got an odd air to him, as if he doesn't even know what's going on around him. Regardless, that doesn't stop him from swiftly fulfilling his orders with great efficiency.

This rainbow of thugs will stop at nothing to claim Marvel Capital as their own. It's their land.

City Officials

Every city is only ever as good as the people in charge of it. Luckily for the Marvel Capital, capable hands work hard behind the scenes to keep the place livable for the average citizen- determined to keep the peace. Even if it means occasionally having to play by the Cabal's rules.

The former Mayor, WINDSWEPT VILLAGER, keeps a well trained eye on the city's archives. After an attempt on his life during that left him disabled, he's stepped down from his position. Nevertheless, he continues to work behind the scenes- playing as an informant and confidant for the current Mayor. PEACEKEEPING MAYOR is the current head honcho serving in office. Having been an ex-archagent like Villager, positions of great responsibility (and stress) are nothing new to her. She's a stubborn woman with a who will do anything for the city- going so far as to work with the Cabal to keep as eye on what goes on in the shadows. If the Mayor watches over the city, who watches the Mayor? That duty of course goes to ASSIDUOUS REGIMENT, the head of the City Council's security department. Having failed to protect Villager before, he's sworn to himself to not allow that to happen ever again. He's a stiff, stern figure, but below that tough exterior, he's got a good heart.

The three of them work day and night trying to maintain the balance of the city- but everyday it grows clearer it was made to be less of a home and more of a playground.

[Was It Worth It?]

Gangshuffle AU Comic

(tw: blood, censored depiction of body part loss)

Why don't we start we start from the beginning?

DD: I suppose there's no other way to start.

DD: I used to be a soldier during the war. I was entirely dedicated to Derse, I followed all my orders- but I ended up exiled regardless of my loyalty. DD: I was an empty husk for months. No purpose, no hope, no goal. DD: I was simply waiting to die.

I'm sorry to hear that. That must've been awful.

DD: I wouldn't wish that despair on anyone. DD: Though, it did lead me to meeting someone.

Oh?

DD: He made me feel alive again.

DD: Here was this man- a Prospitian who was young, and bright-eyed, and full of potential- exiled off to the same island as war criminals, and dissenters, and all manner of depressing lot. DD: His previously hopeful future had been thrown away, and he'd lost seemingly everything, and yet...

Yet?

DD: He was still hopeful. DD: He still had dreams. DD: He had so much determination in him, he was even willing to drag a stranger along to help achieve his goals. You.

DD: Indeed. He saved me from my despair. DD: He became my hopes and my dreams, and my goal. From the moment he pulled me onto the shores of the new island, I swore I'd follow him anywhere. DD: And so I did.

DD: Even when I shouldn't have.

DD: I tore myself apart for this man. DD: I did everything I could to serve him and his goals no matter how much it hurt.

Do you regret it?

DD: ... Some days.

Was it worth it?

DD: For him? DD: He was worth every last nerve ending.

[Gif description:

An edit of the talksprite gif for Terezi Pyrope in Alterniabound (Homestuck p.2792) now portraying Scrutinous Scourge — the version of Spades Slick in the Gangshuffle AU (link). He is a thin human with light very warm brown skin, narrow eyes with no visible irises&pupils, and long wavy brown hair with some thin yellow streaks, wearing a white shirt with an unbuttoned collar and rolled up sleeves and a grey kimono with a spade pattern that is let down from his shoulders. He has regular human teeth, but with noticeably sharp canines. Like Terezi with the original sprite, he is holding a cane with one hand and leaning on it with the other. In the gif, he is at first talking with a wide, teeth-showing green on his face, then talking with a frown, still showing just as much teeth, then laughing with his eyebrows raised, then there are two static expressions: what is probably a smirk (no teeth this time) and a >:? expression, in which his mouth is literally replaced with a horizontal question mark shape.

More Tomodachi Life Midnight City edition:

Current population of Mayonaka Island:

Non-AU: Sleuth, Pickle, Ace, Slick, Droog, Deuce, Boxcars, Dame, Broad, Snowman, Ms Paint

Mobswitch AU: Scofflaw, Innovator, Deadeye, Scout

Gangshuffle AU: Steward, Imagineer, Deor

I attempted to add Crowbar and some other non-AU Felts, but just could not get them to look a way I was happy with so I evicted them. Might try again later, idk. Or maybe I'll just do the Gangshuffle Felt because they're hot

Pickle finally confessed his love for Droog and they are dating. They MOVED IN before Droog clued in that this was romantic. Absolutely hopeless.

Boxcars wanted to move into the Midnight Crew house (now changed to Gay Babies house since Pickle is there) but Slick didn't want him to because they disagreed on whether they should spend their days on scheming or stabs.

Ace abandoned his crush on Pickle and is now obsessed with Dame. Dame is finally also crushing on him, but neither has told the other their feelings.

Innovator is in love with Scofflaw, who doesn't give a fuck.

Innovator cannot stop consulting the Helix fossil. He is trying to recruit everyone to worship it.

Scofflaw has a hand mirror which he is convinced is haunted. He keeps telling people scary stories about it.

Sleuth is in love with Innovator and is ready to risk it all!!! He likes to play his guitar and sing about Innovator in public. Innovator is oblivious.

Broad is majorly crushing on Boxcars, and has finally stopped being annoyed by Ace.

Snowman has bonded with every girl (and Deor) over their shared love of Terrorizing Men

daily playing with dolls tomodachi life update!!

Current population of Mayonaka Island:

Non-AU: Sleuth, Pickle, Ace, Slick, Droog, Deuce, Boxcars, Dame, Broad, Snowman, Ms Paint

Mobswitch AU: Scofflaw, Innovator, Deadeye, Scout

Gangshuffle AU: Steward (PS), Imagineer (PI), Deor (6), Yusha (7) Scourge (SS)

There's been lots of messy relationship drama, and also, everyone's joined the Ryan North fanclub

Pickle and Droog are still dating! Thinking about marriage even, after only being together two days.

Dame finally confessed her love to Ace, only to have Scofflaw try and steal him away! Had Scoff ever once shown interest in Ace before this? no. Was he particularly broken up by him rejecting him? also no. He's just in it for the drama. Anyway now Ace and Dame are dating.

Broad has made NO progress in her crush on Boxcars, despite me dropping her on top of him all the time. she does spend a lot of time with her friends tho, so we respect a girl with a well-rounded social life

Upon making Yusha, I dropped him on Deor, since in that AU they are a thing. Deor completely blew him off to go take his third shower of the day. Yusha then got upset, rejected all offers to meet anyone else and just bounced around on a bouncy tiger for like an hour.

Deor spends all his time either with Snowman, or in his room demanding I play games with him. Snowman forced him to meet up with Dame so now he hangs out with her too. He has no interest in anyone else.

Snowman has a crush on him.

I gave Scout a dog and he is fucking over the moon about it

These weirdos will NOT stop bathing in the sprinklers around town. what are yall doing.

pickle is an official member of the midnight crew, as evidenced by the fact that he is invited to their sprinkler showers. y'ALL HAVE A BATHROOM IN YOUR HOUSE

Deadeye got a crush on Innovator. Sleuth also likes Innovator. Scofflaw likes Deor.

Deadeye and Sleuth both confessed their love to Innovator, who turned them both down.

Innovator confessed his love to Scofflaw in just the most pathetic way possible. Boxcars intervened. Scoff turned both of them down.

DEPRESSION ISLAND

Anyway Deadeye asked me if he should pursue Scout instead. I felt very torn about this but encouraged him to pursue Scout.

I found a bust and gave it to Sleuth. He is no longer depressed.
