THE OLNF WHIMSIES POST!

Hehehe oh jeezz who may this be?? Oh it's me! @a3stheticcc here to grant you what has been causing your dear OLNF tumblr creators to disappear for long periods of time >:)/silly

Well obvi they have lives outside of tumblr so dont ENTIRELY blame me now-

Cough- anyways, this little ol' blog here is to post abt this little thingy of ours. If you didn't know, me and my moots, have a small discord server, well not really small anymore lmao but that's besides the point!

This blog is to show off the AU that has been personally made by us whimsies! Called the Whimsies AU lol, or our version of canon besides OLNF canon itself haa- But minus that, here's a smallll explanation on it!

Azzy, my mc, is the AU's mc! All collectively agreed on by the server's members haha- the other mcs, AKA my moots' MCs are already individuals who had been living in Golden Grove, some have lived there all their life, some have moved to Golden Grove like Azzy did. But besides that, Azzy's the new kid! Oh yeah and she has Opal as the parent whilst the other MCs have their own families and parents/carers!

And that's also an explanation why some of us are suddenly giving out art of our mcs together, as in together as ships haha- BUT YEAH! Our whimsies AU has a whole new direction from canon olnf but it still sits in that universe and QiuTam are still Azzy's neighbours, the other mcs are,,,somewhere-

But yes yes before any confusion for future posts, here some things you must know:

There are endgame ships and none are with any of the OLNF cast/silly

Azzy is the main MC of the AU

QiuTam will probably be a ship in this idk

There are MC x MC ships in this!

Everyone (almost) are friends in step 1 but then step 2,,,yeesh-

SO MUCH ANGST IN STEP 2 DEAR GOD

Personalities of the MCs may be different compared to how they are in the game due to relationships in Whimsies AU

Some events in our routes separately may be altered due to AU once more

Azzy is basically Miku and makes everyone friends through her, unless theyre relatives and stuff

Otherwise, everyone knows eachother, but theyre not necessarily friends

Many endgame ships yes yes!

Endgame means like, theyre together and nothing else!

Cough speaking of endgame ships lemme show you them!:

Dartboard (Anthony Garcia x Levi Telianth x Azzy Mulligan)

NaturalDisasters (Tika Chatterjee x Leo Honeybone x Maylin Berry)

SnipStitch (Mini Chatterjee x Theo Divjak)

Blue Moon (Rose Miller x Lumi Telianth)

SkatingStars (Kota Oakley x Sierra Serrano)

PhotoBomb (Hack Baumann x Lynn Glass)

Trillium (Elliott Oakley x Emzie Divjak x Emmi Park)

Cinnamon Rolls (Bee Vale x Ruthie Hussien)

HeatedRivalty (River Winters x Harley Cecil)

Ajisai (Hito Idotsumokawa x River Kapenda)

Artcher (Himari Kawano x Mayke Hayes)

PoeticHarmony (Hazel Baker x Ophelia Bronwyn)

VanillaBerry (Lina Oakley x Vivi Garcia)

RebellingFacade (Diego Castillo x Guy Samuels)

DynamicDreams (Zeno Jaspersson x Nyli Pettit)

ThriftedFinds (Frannie Li x Mari Glass)

This list can expand as the server continues so expect edits! And there's ofc side ships but thats just side ships, theyre not endgame unless theyre on the list.

This intro post can possibly be edited in the future as me and the others build on lore of this AU but expect posts at some point!

OLNF Week Day 7: Alternate Universe

@olnfweek2024 more info is down below...

Hi this isn’t a short fic because if I were to try and write a fic for this… it wouldn’t be short. But I didn’t want this day to not have anything to go with it especially since every single day has had a short fic. So… you get a bunch of ideas spilled from my brain. 

Ghost Hunter AU!!!!!

Basically this AU is exactly what it sounds like. In 2016, Qiu, Tam, and Alex go ghost hunting in this abandoned building in Golden Grove. This idea started when Alex saw this movie about ghost hunting so he spent the money from his job at the diner to get ghost hunting equipment and a backpack to fit all of it. When Tamarack got the news of such things she absolutely wanted to go with him. But when Qiu got the news, they weren’t as excited as Tam. I feel like they aren’t the type to believe in ghosts or anything paranormal. But of course they go along because why not? 

When they went ghost hunting, none of them were expecting to get their lives threatened by ghosts. They want their bodies… but not in a weird way they want to possess their bodies to do stuff (idk what yet) like none of them have a way of escaping. The doors suddenly locked and they don’t want to get charged for property damage by breaking the windows (Qiu tried. Tam didn’t let them) So this AU is basically just them communicating with ghosts trying to convince them to let them go or finding a way to help those ghosts move onto the afterlife so they can stop haunting and terrorizing people. 

This is actually probably a shock but I’m more into horror than romance visual novels. I’m currently working on a horror game actually. And I have a completely separate artstyle for my horror games. The artstyle I share is just my normal art style (if you wanna see my horror art style I WILL SHARE IT) also if you want indie horror game recommendations… ask. I have a lot.

But I will also share 2 really good indie game developers right now.

Puppet Combo and Chilla’s Art. 

I LOVE THEM!! They make really good horror games. Puppet Combo does more slasher horror while Chilla’s Art does more ghost horror. Chilla’s art made The Closing Shift if you’ve ever heard of it. It's the game about getting stalked in a coffee shop.

Anyways I can rant about horror games just as much as I can rant about the Our Life games so… if you want to see more OLNF Ghost Hunters AU please let me know… i would love to make a fic about it.

Now here are doodles I made for this.

c'mon alex you're supposed to be hunting ghosts not admiring qiu...

anyways thats it i hope you enjoyed OLNF week just as much as i did and thank you @goldengroovy for hosting it!! :3 byebye!

I was working on a color swap soulmate doodle for olnf that I decided to not put more effort into cause I lost patience, but it was too funny for me to not post it.

For people who don't know what the color swap au is please check up this fic my bestie wrote or this post for contexte !!!!

Thinking about an au where my three mcs are all siblings instead of different universes

Lumi would be like two years older, Levi and Cassa would be twins (Levi's older by technicality)

That first day of school in the prologue, Levi and Cassa walk to school with Tamarack and Qiu, and Opal drives Lumi to the middle school where he meets Darren

They’re so silly

day 3: crossover

@olnfweek2024

our lifer x percy jackson :3

i was fairly stumped knowing this day for moment so i kept it as a sketch since this is more of a brainstorm idea!

apollo besties... best friends forever....

zeus just makes sense for qiu. the stress of being the kid of one of the big three takes a toll.

ren's godly parent is athena, but when she first arrives in camp half blood she hadn't been claimed yet.

(baxter not included. he's just a guy.)

It’s Gilmore Girls x OLNF time again, friends!

Yes, my current brain rot stroke back once again.

I’m still in the middle of season 1, but I keep on musing… what if MC went to study at Baxter’s private school? Just like Rory at Chilton?

Not right from the start, though. We want our MC to befriend (and smitten) their adorable neighbors first (besties AND crushing Tama and Qiu are law). So the upcoming drama of leaving school would only bring more delicious angst (and pinning, nothing better than good ol’ pinning characters, those are favs).  

MC could have been granted a scholarship for attending high school in that prestigious nest of future nation leaders (aka “rich bitches and bastards den” just like Chilton). But the education level is top, and though a bit worried about her kid having to survive a potential hostile environment, Opal would feel proud of them and actively support them.  

MC has a bit of mixed feelings. Sure, they’d be proud and happy too, could have been their wish from the start, or triggered by meeting Baxter and pondered over for a few years. But they’d miss their dear Tam and Qiu so much…

(on a side note, this could bring an interesting reflection of the characters about life goals, relationships, the drama and struggle of balancing both, what do they really want vs what do they really need…)

So, though this would potentially take place in-between Step 2 and 3 (kids would be 15-16 years old), there are still little info on how relationships would evolve (unless for the HEARTBREAKING disbanding of the cul-de-sac kids’ friendship and the emotional and identity struggles of Tama and Qiu)…

However:

1 – MC would probably have to face Private School without counting on Baxter’s help. He would already have left their friend’s group, and a three years gap can make a huge difference as teens. Like in “don’t wanna EVER be associated with a freshman”. Although I like to imagine there could be special occasions where Baxter would interfere on MC’s sake. But that wouldn’t mean they were friend.

Like in “I have a social status to maintain so back off and pretend we don’t know each other”.  

2- Think Tama and Qiu wouldn’t miss (and fret over) their beloved neighbor? Ha ha, the pinning would be so bad, those two would act so clingy and demanding as soon as MC would exit the bus, coming home from school…  

I can picture those three just like Rory with Lane and Dean : sticking together as much as they could, making do of every lil’ minute they can spend together before parting ways to schools.

Qiu and Tama would bicker for sure. And there would be times where they’d share their thoughts on MC’s decision to go to another school… and not always kindly worded. More like blurted out, out of exasperation, anger, angst, sadness, jealousy, bitterness (thank you, Pinning + crushing/besties tormented teens).

However, that doesn’t mean Tama and Qiu wouldn’t support MC. The change hurts, but they care for MC too. It just takes some time to deal with it, accept it.

Oh, and if MC told them about their “lovely” classmates and their struggles, even if it might only be a slight hint… you bet our Tama and Qiu would side up and plan some retaliation time.

Something like breaking in Private School to find one of MC’s bullies and threaten them… (just imagining Tama and Qiu cornering this bastard/bitch feels both so satisfying and full of comedy potential). Or just like the Chilton Ball’s episode where Rory goes with Dean and there’s delicious drama with Tristan…

There are so many Plot Bunnies to muse upon on that topic…

Also, the UNIFORM.

Chilton’s uniform is cute, I like to imagine MC’s would be similar or inspired by.

Got this fun lil’ idea where MC would dress Tama or Qiu with it, they’d look so cute…

The whole aesthetic and feels of those moments where Rory waits for Lane or Dean after school, sitting on a bench underneath the fall-colored trees, reading and sipping her paper cup coffee… it’s just so sweet and wholesome. That’s the mood I want to indulge in and would perfectly fit this OLNF crossover…  

Anyway, the Gilmore Girls x OLNF brain rot is high. And as I’m watching one episode a day, I expect it to last at least for several months ahead.
