HM:DS Progress

Goodness, I'm having so much fun with HM:DS. It's Spring 29 and I made about more than 100,000 G. My hard work mining for jewelry had finally paid off! ^^

Just got the first house extension. The new space looks empty... *needs to hurry up and get the kitchen*

I've order the clock, cabinet, and is currently waiting for the refrigerator.

The music that plays during the 'normal girls' (Forget-Me-Not bachelorettes) heart events is so cute~~

Currently, I have Nami and Muffy at blue. Celia, Lumina, and Flora are at purple. I'll be marrying Nami.

If I had the girl version... I'd marry Gray and Griffin. Maybe Gustafa instead of Griffin... Who knows.

I need to get a barn soon... and a chicken coop. Not to mention I need some grass. @_@

A Letter to Idiots

A Letter to Idiots:

Dear Idiots...

Salutations! How are you today? You're asking how my day was? Well, it started out pretty good... I wish it could've been better.

It all started with a regular trip to the forums and that very forum was UNoT. You know what I saw? SPAMMY topics by a n00b and n00bs that were bashing. Yeah, you heard me.

Topic of discussion: The Idiocy of Character-Bashing

One thing I can't stand about bashing is when people bash like a n00b. Damn, bash like a human being. Not a baby who can't spell and type correctly.

As far as I can tell, bashing can start from these:

Appearence
Ex: ZOMG *insert name of some guy/girl* IS SO FUKIN FUGLY!!!!oneoneone11111)
Comments: What has to be the worst and the most common. I've seen this happen to HM characters such as the sweet Gina, Rick, Bob and even Won (who as I've seen is a sweetie after you marry). :( Sad. Just sad.

Rivals
Ex: ZOMG *inserts guy/girl's name here* IS HOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!! *inserts guy/girl's name here* SHOULD JUST DAM FUKJIN DIE!!!!!!!!!!!ONEONEONE!!!!1111111111111
Comments: -_-

We all have our likes and dislikes. For instance, if I probably say that I dislike Karen, I'll probably get killed. If I say I like Alex/Gina, I'll probably get killed for that too.

Idiots...

Read this message.

If you want to bash, do it like a mature and responsible adult like this...

To tell the truth, I do not particulary like *insert whatever you're talking*. I just don't like how *blah, blah, blah...*

NOT like this:

ZOMG I HATE *insert whatever*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 IT SHOULD ROT AND DIE IN HEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ONEONEONE111

If you're bashing something like a n00b and not typing maturely... I beg of you, don't post. Keep it to yourselves and leave the rest of us in peace.

Spare us, damn it!

My least favorite subjects of bashing are bashing of people such Gina.

C'mon, she's such a sweetie! She's kind, cute... But no. Alex-fangirls just pissed at her and bash, bitching at her.

Bob, what a sweetie. You know how he gets treayed by people most of the time? Yes, BASHED.

Flora, BASHED. I find how she uses '~' cute. She's a cutie in AWL and DS.

Nami is hated sometimes. C'mon! I know she's cold at first but if you open her up a little, she's so sweet!

So please...

Stop the bashing. Stop the pain.

I'll get bashed for this... But I'm just saying.

Regards,
Hikari

It All Started When...

"Well, uh, you see, it all started when a man and woman, uh, love each other very much... and, uh..."

Crossover Couple of the Moment:
Blue (Harvest Moon: Magical Melody) x Kisa Sohma (Fruits Basket)
I just have a(nother) crazy thought of Blue being Kisa's 'onni-chan' who follows him around everywhere... Blue doesn't seem to mind. It's so cute!

Settings
Starring (MM characters in a different setting):
Ellen (Doctor/Elli's daughter)
Blue (Gray/Claire's son)
Leif (Ray in the English version and he's Cliff/Ann's son)
Dan (Kai/Popuri's son)
Kisa (From Fruits Basket; An orphan living with Carter at the church and looks up to Blue as an older brother.)

Cameos:
Gray
Kai

Where?:
Beach Shack

Ages:
Kisa - 12
Blue, Dan, Leif, Ellen - 14

"Leif-nii, Dan-nii..." Kisa called out quietly. Leif and Dan turned from the counter to face the young girl.

"What is it, Kisa-chan?" Leif smiled.

"Well... I... wanted to ask something."

"What is it?" Dan asked.

"...Where do babies come from?" At the moment, Dan and Leif were quite grateful they weren't drinking anything at the moment or else they would've spit it out by now. Their faces flushed a bright red.

"Wh-What?!" They exclaimed, slightly glaring at their parents witnessing the event, trying hard to supress their laughters.

"Where do babies come from...?"

"Uh... Uh..." The two of them stammered.

"Well, you see, Kisa-chan," Ellen stepped in at the moment, "It all started when a mommy and daddy love each other very much--"

"Ellen!" The boys exclaimed with pale faces, quickly running over, covering her mouth with their hands.

Kisa raised an eyebrow, "What happens when mommy and daddy love each other?"

"Oh, uh well, when they happens, they uh..." Dan stuttered, quickly trying to think of an answered when Leif, without thinking, exclaimed:

"Call the stork!" Dan and Ellen just gave him a strange look.

Much to their embarassment, the parents at the moment had just burst into laughter. A lightblub had struck the kids' head at the moment.

Ellen, Dan, and Leif quickly pointed at the laughing parents, exclaiming, "Ask them!" The laughter had ceased and the adults' faces also burned a bright red.

"Eh?!"

"Yes! Ask the adults!" Dan yelled, "They can explain it perfectly!"

"Hang on, she asked you guys!" Gray retorted.

"But you know more about it than us!"

"But, that's--" Kai started.

"What's going on?" A voice called out and everyone turned to see Blue standing at the door.

"Blue!" The three kids exclaimed in relief.

"Onii-chan, can I ask you something...?" Kisa murmured. Leif and Dan paled.

"Sure. Did you want to know something?" Blue replied.

"Where do babies come from?" Blue just stayed silent as his face turned a bright red.

"Wh-Why are you asking?"

"O-One of my friends is going to have a baby sister... so I wondered. No one else would tell me so... I'm sking you guys."

Blue only stared at her for a while before sighing and running his hand over his neck.

"Let's just say it's a secret that only the adults know."

"S-So, when I'm older, I'll know?" Blue nodded quietly and Kisa smiled widely.

"Thank you so much, onii-chan! I'll wait until I'm older and someday, I'll know!" He smiled little, ruffling her orange hair while the others just gaped in shock.

------------------------------

Claire Giving a Recipe:
"You know, something sweet is good to have when after a day of hard work. How about I teach you how to make pancakes? Just put together some flour, an egg, oil, milk, along with using butter or honey. Fry it in a frying pan and you're done! You can also fluff it up with a whisk and add sugar. Adding fruit, chocolate, or jams is what I usually do. It makes a good breakfast, try it sometimes!"

Song: Don't Phunk With My Heart - Black Eyed Peas

Fanfics and Ouran

Ah, yes...

Claire's birthday is Fall 29th, BTW.

Another one of my fantasies is that in Mineral Town, Louis could also be a teacher who has Gotz building a small classroom in the Empty Lot where you build a Town Cottage in MFoMT.

Yes, I am a strange person, why do you ask?

Life Isn't Perfect New
Not all stories have a happy ending. Some are dark with tales of discrimination, sexual situations such as rape, abuse, murder, and death. Maybe his story wasn't close to those themes but it didn't end happily ever after.
(One-sided Marlin/Celia; AWL; Angst; PG)
Whoa... My first attempt at angst. o.o

Jealous
(Gray/Claire; MFoMT; Drabble; PG-13)

Cookies
It wasn't that hard to make cookies. All that were needed were some flour, eggs, sugar, butter, a rolling pin and an oven. Not that hard, right? Oh, how wrong could he be...
(Gray/Claire; MFoMT; PG)

Why yes, I am obsessed with Gray/Claire, why do you ask? :D

Damn, my laptop's screwed up and I might have to get a new one. Why is that bad? I have to gather all the files I worked so hard to get all over again! Damn it!

Currently, I'm on another computer in the house. Well, I have Harvest Moon: DS to look forward to getting to tomorrow.

Also obsessed with Ouran High School Host Club right now. As well as the theme song Sakura Kiss. I keep listening to it over and over again... Ugh... @_@

Song: Sakura Kiss - Chieco Kawabe

And BTW... I have absolutely no idea when I'll ever post Claire's heart events.

Shippings

Been wanting to do this for a while now... Hiro from Fruits Basket. Ain't he cute? XD



Man, I'm in HM Heaven... This site has such cute doujinshi, I died...

HM Shippings...

HM:Magical Melody
Reon (or is it Leon?)/Jamie x Ellen
Azuma/Alex x Ellen - It reminds me of Doctor/Elli.
Reon x Tina - Personally I like Jamie more as a boy.

HM:MFoMT
Gray x Claire - Obviously. >_>
Gray x Claire x Cliff - Again, obviously. Please look at the top of this page for the reason~~.
Doctor x Elli - Ah, the classic...
Cliff x Claire - My first MFoMT ship before Gray x Claire won me.

HM:AWL
Lumina x Nami's Son (I decided to name him Kevin.) - Age difference much? Yes, but I like it.

Is it me or would Gray look adorable with glasses? Especially when I imagine him and Claire in an AU setting which is the old teacher-student relationship. Whenever I think of Gray as a teacher, I think of him with glasses.

Song: For Fruits Basket - Yui Horie

Responses That Change With Heart Color (Bakery)

Purple: Are you working hard? Don't overdo things, okay? Take things at your own pace.
Blue: Hi! People in Mineral Town sure are nice, are they? I like this place.
Green: It's really amazing how you run the farm by yourself, (name). Remember to take a small break once in a while when you feel tired.
Yellow: Hello! (name), do you think it's strange for a person like me to like sweets more than anything else?
Orange: Isn't farm work hard? Always remember to ask for help anytime. Are you okay by yourself?
Red: O-Oh, h-hi. I'm nervous? No, I'm really fine. I was just lost in thought about things. I don't think I'll ever stop running the bakery even after I get married. I love baking sweets a lot.

Never Changing Responses:
At the Library: Mary is a very nice person, you know? The books are very helpful here. You must read them for help with farming, right?

Orange Rival Event

So far, I'm totally hooked on Aly and AJ's Rush. @_@ Too addicting! And yay, I'm finally off my school for the weekend. :D

Now for Gray/Claire's final rival event. ^^ This is like a mixture of Gray's Yellow Heart Event Doctor/Elli and Mary/Gray's Orange rival events.

Orange Rival Event:
Triggered by going to Mother's Hill Summit on a sunny Thursday. (7pm - 10pm)

Claire: Did you want to talk about something Gray?
Gray: Well... Can I ask you something?
Claire: Of course you can. What is it?
Gray: ...Are you going to live in Mineral Town forever?
Claire: Well of course! It's so peaceful... People here are very kind and I love running the bakery!
Gray: *music note* That's good. Claire...
Claire: Yes?
Gray: I've just wanted to say that... I've fallen in love with you.
Claire: (!) Wh-What? (Blushing so cutely... <3>

Lyrics!

I have to admit that I am ashamed of myself on certain subjects: For instance, I hate the Black Eyed Peas yet I'm hooked on their song, Don't Phunk With My Heart. Some parts I just can't get outta my head.

I wonder if I take you home, would you still be in love, baby? In love baby?

Girl you know you got me, got me,
with your pistol shot me, shot me,
and I'm here helplessly in love and nothing can stop me.
You can't stop me once I start it, can't return me once you bought it,
I'm coming baby, don't got it (Don't make me wait.)
So let's be about it.

Baby, have some trustin', trustin'
when I come in lustin', lustin'
'Cause I want you to have comfort,
I ain't only here 'cause I want ya body,
I want your mind too.
Interesting when I find you and I'm interested in a long haul,
C'mon, baby. Yee-haw.

And so on. These are just my personal favorite lyrics. One song whose lyrics I love enough to quote some in my signatures at some forums.

Nowhere Fast - Head Automatica (Again, my favorite lyrics.)

I needed just a hit, one hit.
It's a very little hit, I'm sure I won't like it.
I needed to be hurt, one hit would send me flying.

I got away with murder last night in the parking lot.
In cold blood, I have murdered parts of us that we forgot.

(Later after this part...)

And in the end I grant you a farewell and final kiss,
I got away with murder, who's the next to make the list?

I should use some of these lyrics in a fanfic... Recalling my last post about Gray/Claire/Cliff, maybe it would be that. If I ever make it into a story which is highly unlikely.

Things I Should Really Use in Fanfics:
Use the following phrases...
The Sky Isn't Always Blue
Not Every Story Has a Happy Ending
The Grass Isn't Always Green
Life Isn't Perfect

I should use them in a Celia/Marlin fic.

Song: Lying Through Your Teeth - Head Automatica
Everybody knows you're a liar, why don't I?


I'll post Claire/Gray's Orange Rival Event. Theb, the marriage event! ^^

Green Rival Event (R.I.P Steve Irwin)

To Everyone Who Has MSN:
In commenoration of Steve Irwin, AKA, the Crocodile Hunter, MSN users has put a Turtle icon by their names. Just type up (tot) by your name and it's done.

R.I.P, Steve.

In my own little imaginary HM world, am I the only one to think Blue from MM is suitible as Gray/Claire's son? (Well, Farmer Claire not Bakery like I've been rambling about.) I mean, he is a rancher in MM so living on his mother's farm. Get what I'm saying here?

I can totally imagine Blue being a quiet Mama's boy. He'll always freak out when his mother's up and about doing farm work when she's completely fatigued and is supposed to be resting in bed. *laugh* He's like his father in ways.

Green Rival Event:
Triggered by entering the Bakery (again) on any day except Sunday.

(Gray walks in.)
Claire: Hello, Gray!
Gray: Hey there...
Claire: Is something wrong? You seem sad.
Gray: Well, my grandpa yelled at me again... but I don't feel as bad as last time. Actually, I'm starting to feel more confident and proud of what I do now.
Claire: Really...? That's wonderful, Gray!
Gray: Ah... I wanted to... ask you something.
Claire: What is it? (?)
Gray: Do you like jewelry?
Claire: Eh?
Gray: I've never seen you wear anything... But do you like it?
Claire: (...) Well... I guess a little.
Gray: *music note* I see. Guess a lot of girls do like jewelry, even you.
*sweat drop*
Ah... Did I make you mad?
Claire: No! Don't worry, I'm not mad!
Gray: That's good... I want you to have something.
Claire: Huh? Something for me?
*Gray hands her something*
Claire: A broach...?! Oh, this is so beautiful, Gray! Did you make this?
Gray: *sweat drop* I made this secretly on my own from Grandpa... It's not all that good but it's still a good achievement for me. I want you to have it.
Claire: (!) Oh, are you sure that I can have something? It's really very beautiful...
Gray: I made this for you so you can have it.
Claire: ...In that case, thank you! I'll take good care of it, Gray! How can I ever repay you?
Gray: You don't have to.
Claire: But surely, there's...
Gray: Claire... If you can keep it, it'll make me happy.
Claire: ...Thank you so much!

(If you speak to them after... (I need to do more of these.)
Claire: I still can't believe Gray made this for me... I just have to thank him.
Gray: Hope she likes it.

(Of course she does, idiot!)

And yay~! I got my eBay order of AnWL today~! :)

BGM: Fruits Basket - On the Stage

Dream: In honor of my HM OT3, Gray/Claire/Cliff, I've been thinking this when I trying to sleep. (I'm bored 'cause it takes me a while to really fall asleep.)
Bakery Claire, mind you. And Gray/Claire are married. Also, Jack and Ann are married. Takes place in Winter.

It all started when Cliff came into town... Carter suggested he'd go out into town for once since he's always moping in the church. Eventually, Cliff got out and shivering, he finds the Bakery. Stepping in the warm bakery, he meets Claire. Claire, of course, greets him with a smile and
Cliff started blushing.

"Oh... You're shivering. Are you cold?" Claire asked, concerned.

"It's nothing..." Cliff murmured quietly, biting back another cold shiver.

"How about... some Hot Chocolate? I just added it the menu but not a lot of people have tried it yet except Gray."

"Gray...?" His voice became even quieter.

"Oh yes. Gray's my husband," she blushed, saying the word... husband. A pain went though his heart sharply. Damn it... He just met her.

"I think I'll have that hot chocolate now," Cliff requested quickly.

"Oh, yes, right away!" Claire ran to the pot, taking out a bar of chocolate along with milk. After a while, she came back with the steaming hot drink.

"Here you go. Enjoy!" Taking a sip, he felt the warmth of the drink flowing in him.

"Thank you. How do much is..."

"Don't worry about it! You're new here and it's cold outside so this is on the house! But only the first time!" She laughed.

And he loved it.

I'm not gonna write the next part in which I think of Gray coming in but... I'll just give you this part:

"Carter?" Cliff asked, entering the dark confessional booth. It was pitch black... except for the small candle nearby, dimly burning.

"Ah... Is something wrong Cliff?" Carter asked behind a table, smiling kindly.

"Carter... When you feel like you've fallen in love with someone, you really fall in love, don't you?" Cliff asked.

"I suppose so. If you feel like someone's your special person, then she probably is."

"Even if the love is wrong?" Carter frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"Will I be punished... if I love a married woman?"

Blue Rival Event

What'd be really awesome in a HM game is that besides you, other married couples could have a baby! Also, the babies (including yours) can grow into adults. ^_^ Alas, this is but a dream... I imagine MM characters as the couple's children. ^^ (Look below...)

Gray/Claire - Blue
Louis/Mary - Maria
Ann/Cliff - Leif/Ray
Doctor/Elli - Ellen
Kai/Popuri - Dan
Rick/Karen - Katie

Another Gray/Claire event! BTW, the Bakery is closed on Sundays. Sunday is a common day for days off aren't they? I imagine Claire's outfit to look like Ellen's from Magical Melody. So cute~! Whenever, I imagine Claire's blushing face, I think of Elli's from FoMT. ^.^;

Blue Rival Event:
Enter the Bakery on any day except Sunday. (1pm-4pm)
Gray: Your cakes are really good Claire.
Claire: *music note* Thank you! I'm very happy you like them!
Gray: ...Can I talk to you?
Claire: Of course. Is something wrong?
Gray: ...Sorry about the other day.
Claire: Oh, don't worry about it! It's okay!
Gray: *music note* Thanks but... (...) You know, Grandpa is so hard on me for every little thing!
Claire: Really...?
Gray: I accidently scratched myself and he chews me out, telling me to be more careful. I got mad... I guess I snapped.
I just want to quit. I feel so stupid...
Claire: You shouldn't say that!
Gray: (!)
Claire: Everyone feels like quitting... But, we just need to try hard. You're a great blacksmith, Gray, I know you are.
*music note* And I bet if you keep training, you'll be even better... Even better than Saibara I bet!
Gray: (...) Thanks. I'm really not as good as my grandpa but... I think the time will come. Just keep trying.
Claire: Yep! I know you can!
Gray: (...)
Claire: (!) What's wrong? Your face looks a bit red. Do you have a fever?
Gray: It's nothing...

----------

^.^

Banners

Heh, I've been wanting to work on these two for a while now. I just love the picture used here so I guess I was inspired by it. Personally, I like the Rainbow one better but that's just me. *shrugs*


^ This has to be my favorite. After all, Gray/Claire/Cliff is to be my Harvest Moon OTP. <3 style="font-weight: bold;">

Song: All About Us - Tatu

Black Rival Event

You know I always have weird thoughts about a kind of Harvest Moon: FoMT. I've changed around couples and rivals. Elli/Doctor, Ann/Cliff, Rick/Karen, Popuri/Kai stay the same though I changed Gray and Mary. Jack can now court Claire who runs a bakery next to the forge. His rival is Gray. (I'm that obsessed with Gray/Claire. ^_^;;) Mary's rival is Louis from Save the Homeland/Magical Melody. They're so cute~!

I've been having pointless thoughts about Gray/Claire rival events. They're quite similar to Mary's Rival Events and Gray's Heart Events.

Black Rival Event:

Enter the Forge on anyday except Sunday or Thursday.

Gray: (#) I'm sick of this!
Saibara: Have some more respect toward your elders young man!
(Claire comes in.)
Claire: (?) Huh?
Gray: Whatever, I'm outta here! *turns to leave but sees Claire at the door* (!) Move!
Claire: Oh, I-I'm sor--
Saibara: Gray! Don't be so rude to a customer!
Gray: So... Sorry.
Claire: Oh, it's okay.
Gray: (...) If it's okay, can you please move?
Claire: Oh, yes I... (!) Oh dear! You have a scratch!
Gray: No big deal.
Claire: Don't say that! It could get infected! Please... Could you hold you hand out?
Gray: (...)
Claire: *band-aids* There! Is it better now?
Gray: Uh...
Claire: Oh yes! I'm sorry. I must be blocking your way! *moves out of the way* Sorry about that!
Gray: *goes to door but stops and turns back* ...Thanks.
Claire: No problem!
