It's the little things

Then she stares at you all night long.

Sometimes the main character wakes up at night, unable to move. All he can hear is static, all he can sense is the vague presence of a shadowy creature lurking in his peripheral vision. Glistening orbs, glaring just out of reach, surrounded by a floating blob of pitch black that he can't quite comprehend.

His mouth feels dry, he hasn't quite woken up, but he is definitely not dreaming anymore. The static gets worse. The blob grows in size. Darkness consumes a larger area of what little he can see from his bed, he can't move his head, but the shadow is definitely getting closer. The orbs become clear, they're milky white eyes, and they're fixated on him. He tries to scream, but it's useless, he can't even move his mouth.

After a few minutes of deafening static and an overwhelming of terror, a clear sound breaks the dreadful silence...

TAAAADAAAA!!!!!

Well, thanks for the nightmares I'm about to receive.........

You're welcome

About Magical Melody... I seriously can't stand Gwen's screechy cry. The doctor also gets annoying.

Yeah, the voices in Magical Melody are definitely hit and miss. Dan's voice is one of the worst...but I still married him haha

Dan, Katie and Ellen were ear-piercing for me. Same with Ronald, yet he's not a candidate.
Let's be real, giving Theodore a potato, and hearing him say "YAAUHHHHH" was pretty amazing though.

BYU~~~~
MM had the best random noises imo
Fun fact, when I was younger my friends and I used to go to the neighboring farm, get behind the horse and press A really fast a bunch of times because the horse would make like a pewpewpew sound and we called "playing star wars"

Magical Melody was my first harvest moon game, so I was a lot less picky back then, but reflecting upon that game... I remember the hot blonde (name?) being the one I really wanted but I couldn't cook so I ended up settling. I settle a lot.

Which bachelorette was it?

Spoiler:

The top girl was Eve; she was more laid back, romantic, and worked as a waitress at her uncle's bar.
The bottom girl was (depending on your region) Sarah/Gwen; she was more outgoing, loved horseback riding, and worked as a chef for her uncle's inn.

For a while, Eve also likes to remind you everyday that her parents are dead.

When I was real young I wouldn't marry Popuri from HM64 because she had pink hair (I'm fine with her now, though.) I also have never married Karen from FoMT because I just don't like how she looks in that game.

@Anna_Lynn definitely Eve.

I think it's interesting that unnatural colored hair is a dealbreaker for so many people, I never really thought about it. I guess because I always associate HM with anime, so I'm able to suspend my disbelief on that?

Getaris · Post Posted: Jun 03, 2017 9:45 am

Oh well, at least in my case, it's not like I think the characters as outsiders that don't fit in the world (although the world of harvest moon isn't exactly at that level of anime, most characters look rather normal)... I simply have no interest in them.

For me, it wasn't that I disliked characters with unnatural hair colors; it was the fact that I had an irrational hatred for the color pink when I was younger. So if Popuri had had, say, purple or green hair I probably wouldn't have cared and been perfectly fine with her.

I usually go for characters with unnatural hair. I'm sporting a bright red hair color atm myself. I usually am grabbed by cuteness and can be a bit shallow but a bad personality is an absolute deal breaker. So are guys that use pet names in most cases. I can love someone's design and personality but be put off if they do the whole pet name thing.
Just...don't call me princess mkay?
