I Do Not Know How To Tumblr But Hello There

Have the newer players even experienced a stamina event

am I like… a love nikki elder

“Back in my day we had these things called ‘stamina events’”

Am I getting too existential over an anime dressup game

The answe to all of these is yes

The ultimate update to end all updates

With this Nikki is truly god

An important message from the devs, y'all. Who else is here for Momo’s dream Weaver?

Okay so I am really disappointed with how the dawn front event went down. I am not „horny“ for shade and i find it dumb that salty players reduce us to that. You’re freaking ace and I’m on the spectrum too. We’re not salting about people for picking their queen kimi either jeez. Let people allow to pick characters they want, its not hard.

Ya know what me too

((RANT INCOMING BOIS))

Like I'm sure there are some people who picked Flynn bc "he's hot" to them-and don't get me wrong that's perfectly fine-but just assuming that's the only reason anyone would ever pick said character is just honestly kind of rude to everyone who chose him. As if he doesn't have his own story, personality, motivations, etc. that might make him an appealing choice to players. No he's just an edgy uwu animu boi fangirl bait design right?

Thing is we're only having this discussion because we won. If the majority of night order players flocked to Shade but the dawn wings ended up winning no one would give two shits about who chose Flynn or why. Lemme tell y'all something. I chose Flynn because as an aspiring author I found all of the good guys boring and stealth has always been my shit. Yes all of them. Louie is barely a character as of right now, Orlando is fine but he's so typical morally just man in a suit. Kimi is overrated imo and don't even get me started on Bai Yongxi. I know we have a dreamweaver for this guy but I still feel like I've never met him before. So then, what about the night order? We barely know Reid and the guy he teamed up with so that choice was out for me, and Nidhogg's abrasive personality just wasn't doin it for me personally.

Who does that leave? Flynn. Shade. The secret weapon. The assassin with two names.

Ever since I was young I've always found sharpshooters, assassins, ninjas-basically anyone who could outsmart their opponent with not only tactics but agility and speed-cool. I'm a small girl and I was never very strong, so that kind of thing was the kind of stuff I idolized-and part of what lead me to develop my aesthetic the way I did. THAT's why I picked Flynn. It was my personal opinion and preference.

Do I expect anyone to know that? Of course not. Only my close friends know about my childhood. However, I'm not the only person who picks characters based on things other than "how hot I find them," clearly. I'll admit, Flynn's character design is aesthetically pleasing to an edgelord like myself. But if that was the only reason, I'd just go with anyone who remotely resembled that sort of style.

Not to mention the psychological aspects of it all. Morally grey characters are always more interesting from a psychological standpoint, as they present as more human-more relatable to the average person.

I'm getting a little bit off topic but my point is that there's more than one reason Shade won the war. Something else I need to mention is the pre-war salt.

All over the facebook, amino, reddit, etc. before we even got the event implemented were people salting about losing last time and making passive aggressive comments about how they'd lose to " Shade's thirst army" again. Now I had already made up my mind to choose him again, but think for a second about how a new player would feel seeing all that. Do you really think new players would want to join a team full of passive aggressive people who can't let the fact that their fave lost essentially a fictional popularity contest go after a full year? Because I sure as hell wouldn't. That's an extremely unwelcoming environment right there.

So what do I have left to cover? The morality speeches? Yeahh.....

So listen. I saw this mostly on the facebook, but I'll mention it here.

Fiction and real life are two separate things. People are allowed to like problematic charas so long as they understand that said chara is in fact problematic. Supporting a character who's done morally wrong things does not mean said person supports said morally wrong things. If you sit there and try to guilt trip people who just wanted to pick their favorite character in a fictional event that effects nothing ever because they like a specific character and tell them that means they support murder or whatever, I'm sorry but you need to go back to elementary school or something because that's not how anything has worked in the history of things working.

Now with all this said I want to stress that not everyone is like this of course. There are people who remained silent. There are people who know how to make jokes about their loss, and I thank those of you who have done so-you're bridging the gap, my friends. Of course I don't believe everyone is like this. But the sheer amount of people degrading others and belittling them because of a character preference both pre and post event is astounding.

In the end this whole event was basically just a popularity contest. And you know what I see? I see people who can't handle that not everyone shared their character preferences. I see people who don't understand that just because someone favors one character over another doesn't mean they automatically hate the other character. I see people who are so petty that they'll go out of their way to make excuses as to why they lost. Yeah, it was a population imbalance. But you know what? That's just how it happened. If the population imbalance had favored Kimi, or Orlando, or Bai, or Louie, would we be seeing this level of garbage? No. This event effects nothing. Not the story, not real life, nothing.

But you know what does? Unbearable amounts of salty people pointing fingers and yelling "thirst" to the point where I've started to wonder why I got involved in this godforsaken community in the first place. Let people enjoy their dressup game, ya watery salt cubes. You'll get another chance next time around, and I'm just saying-maybe you'd do better if you focused a bit less on yelling about how it's other people's fault you lost. Yea, losing sucks. But in order for there to be a winner, someone has to lose. That's how competitions work.

I feel like I had more points but I'm just so done with this garbage. Whatever. Point is let people like the characters they like instead of getting salty that everyone doesn't worship Kimi as much as you do. It's not that deep.

I'm done here. This stupid. Sorry to anyone who isn't contributing to this who had to see this. I appreciate you. So much. Oh and by the way, I have nothing against Kimi stans, so long as y'all don't do this kinda shit. Everyone has the right to have whatever character be their favorite no matter which one it is.

Hey you there, looking for a Love Nikki association!

@sciencetookmydoubts and I have made our own association named Onyx Desert! It's a level one right now, but we're determined to be active and do our best!

The rules and expectations are super simple and rather chill, and we'd love to have you no matter your:

Level

Progress

Wardrobe Percentage

Or V level (or lack thereof)

So yeah! We'd love to see ya there! Just take a look at our Nikki Group Finder post and follow the easy instructions!

GUMI BEST VOCALOID

Idk which company they'd have to commission for that since Crypton doesn't own her but it'd be amazing hh-

On another note, how much do I have to pay Vocaloid so the next collab round includes Gumi?????

This blog is supposed to also be a hetagsmes blog lmao SO

Yes please go check this project out! It's a good-ass project by two hella talented people and they definitely deserve more attention on this. Remember we're hobbyists so we basically get paid in exposure. So go pay them some exposure so they can eat tonight thank you have a nice day

Another fanart upload for you guys, I hope you like it. For those who are interested this is actually based off a Hetagame called 1965. It's a sort of historical hetalia inspired game with hints of George Orwells 1984, Alice: The Madness Returns, We Happy Few and Clockwork Orange. I wanted to portray elements of the game without giving away too much as it's a really good game. I got inspired to play it and do this drawing after watching @kyokyo866 and Lubo play it on their channel and I just fell in love with the game. I really hope for a sequel as I want to know more about its world and what happened.

I really suggest you guys check it out 😊

And for context, yes that is England. Its explained in the game as to why he looks like that.

Us: lmao look at all these bootleg Barbie events Love Nikki knows they don't have the money for a real Barbie collab so they be over here compensating

Love Nikki: hold my fucking diamonds

Yeah we're literally getting a real honest to god Barbie collab and I don't know how to feel

You can tell they be extra proud for spending that money tho they changed their whole ass profile picture for this collab

omg could you make a bigender love nikki outfit???

I can sure try! ^^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd never seen the bigender flag before, so I had to look it up and found two variations of it, so I sorta made one design for each flag? I say sorta because they were similar, with the hue and order of the colors being different.

So anyway, when making these I tried to stick with the core colors I saw; pink, blue, purple, and white. One flag design had more white on it than the other, and one had a bit more of a pastel scheme to it, while the other's colors were a bit more rich, so I tried to have the nikkis reflect those. (Also on the one I added the small black heart choker and crayon hairclip just because I thought it looked nice.)

And these were the results! I'm so sorry if I got anything wrong, and I hope they're okay! Happy pride month to you and all celebrating!

I know I'm late with this but am I the only person who's disappointed by how the blue longing makeup is literally just a recolor of the default makeup

like I wasn't expecting anything world shattering but idk it disappointed me a bit

A Halloween-themed collaboration between @maplesweater, @noizy-bunny and I - we hope you all enjoy our mini Hetalia MEP! Credits and timestamps will be in the description of the Youtube video! Extra special thanks to Maple for organising the project <3
