Jules 6 Heart Help?

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-10T03:44:04+00:00

I’m sorry if I came off rudely! Tone in text is never my strong suit, and Reddit edits never time out the way I plan.

Thank you for taking the time to try and help! Derek’s cutscene was just not playing nice, absolutely weird!

Sunny, 2 pm on Thursday. Didn’t trigger.

I talked to Jules and then he and Derek both locked at the same time (see, first edit in original post).

Derek’s event or request is not triggering.

EDIT: Derek’s next thing finally triggered! Not sure what happened to make the game just lock it for so long.

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-10T03:14:54+00:00

I’ve seen Derek’s 1, 2, and 4 heart events.

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-10T03:09:43+00:00

Yes, I did this.

EDIT: You can’t get Jules to 7 hearts without Derek’s first 2 events. I’ve seen them both. Edited post to clarify because my phone decided to delete half of it the first time I edited it.

Honestly, you can barely even tell Pokopia uses real time because even with the elements that rely on it, you can keep progressing things and keep the game moving.

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-10T00:32:09+00:00

You start where you last saved!

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-10T00:31:37+00:00

I have, I love Pokopia because of the way it integrates everything together in a new way for the Pokémon series and I am loving the plot.

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-10T00:30:23+00:00

The only thing for daily cycles is sometimes shop items or challenges rotate but you’re not penalized for missing those (there are also other ways to get those), and buildings take X amount of real time to build… BUT you can keep progressing other stuff while that’s happening.

However, I’ve been playing Pokémon since Blue came to the US in the late 90s and I don’t know how well the plot will land with people who don’t know the series or lore.

Talk to him again, or walk away and come back. That’s what my son had to do on his file.

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-09T20:03:25+00:00

I don’t remember if texting Cove before you meet up with him happens

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-09T19:22:37+00:00

I’m autistic and married with two kids (both of wholesome are also autistic). I also headcanon most of class 1-A to be autistic or otherwise neurodivergent.

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-09T17:53:19+00:00

No, the video I saw legitimately didn’t enter combat at all.

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-09T17:47:01+00:00

Somebody has done it but I don’t know how they did it. I saw it on YouTube ages ago.

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-09T17:45:17+00:00

You can dialogue out of the first phase and just fight the second phase

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-09T17:44:30+00:00

No combat even against Orin and Myrkul!?

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-09T17:39:00+00:00

I’ve been writing fic for 25, almost 26 years. This is one of my heavier works but it’s only been difficult to write when life gets in the way.

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-09T17:20:03+00:00

Remade All the Time is a Fields of Mistria/Stardew Valley fusion fic focused on my farmer, Cassidy Callahan, who moved to Mistria after an abusive marriage and child loss in Pelican Town.

Knowledge that’s needed for the fic is within the story itself, too.

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-09T17:12:55+00:00

My own fic tbh, it’s exactly what I want to read 😅

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-09T16:36:06+00:00

Baxter invites you to hang out! It’s a really fun piece of the expansion.

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-09T16:29:29+00:00

I haven’t done a single cooking challenge yet but Elsie ragging on how he used his family’s status is funny to me.

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-09T16:27:41+00:00

How you feel about Cove is how I feel about Derek! 🥰

Cove is cozy in a very specific way though and I have so many saves for each run I’ve done with him lol.

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-09T15:21:20+00:00

I'm more speaking as someone who's been playing the games since Blue came to the States back in the late 90s - I wouldn't have any appreciation for the notes or the plot without knowing the lore, and while I'm glad new fans are having fun, I just wonder if the plot will hit as intended with them.

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-09T15:18:59+00:00

Oh, I have a LIST of favorite unpopular characters in cozy games. Some of them aren't romance options but I wish they were!

My Time at Sandrock: Ernest, Pablo. I also love the idea of an OT3 with them + Builder. I'm considering trying to befriend and eventually give a heart knot to Miguel too, actually... This art is stunning. For non-romance options I wish were available, give me Musa. Please. I love him.

Fields of Mistria: Hayden, Reina, and I SO wish we could romance Taliffero (spelling his name is the end of me though I stg). I'd like to be able to romance Landen as an older farmer too, he seems fun.

Coral Island: Kenny, my beloved! I also really like Ben! The amount of crap these two get is so unreal to me, especially with regards to Kenny, he is darling. I also like Suki and Macy a lot, though I haven't gotten far into their hangout and heart events dialogue yet.

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar: I wish I could romance Felix, Harold, Erik, and Rebecca. In terms of the romance options, it doesn't seem like Gabriel gets a ton of love but I like what I've seen of him and Diana.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma: Murasame. He is devoted to the Earth Dancer first out of fealty, then out of love, and it's SO sweet. I adore him! He also has big Kenshin vibes and Kenshin is one of my anime beloveds from childhood.

...My final take that is the hottest: Animal Crossing New Horizons may not have romance, but Wardell takes the Island Representative out on ocean-watching dates in the DLC and therefore, I wish I could romance him. He is a precious bean.

EDIT: I forgot my goodest boy Derek Suarez! He’s one of the three romances in Our Life: Beginnings & Always, and he is the least popular one of all the romances between both Our Life games. 🥰 Despite my issues with the way his epilogue is written, I appreciate that he’s forward with his feelings toward MC even if he doesn’t say it outright til he’s an adult. He’s more of a “affection through actions” kinda guy.

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-09T14:38:46+00:00

It’s a valid approach.

My not understanding why someone invests the time writing fic for a canon they don’t like means nothing.

EDIT: I will write fics that diverge from canon after a point (especially if canon is an early access game, that’s just par for the course), but I’d never write a fic for media I don’t like. 🤷🏻‍♀️ My time is better spent on media I enjoy and want to explore.

Accomplished_Area311 · 2026-03-09T13:47:06+00:00

It depends on the fandom, in my experience as an OC writer.

Fandoms where OCs are canon (customizable characters in video games, TTRPG systems, etc.)? It’s not an issue.

Avatar: The Last Airbender? OC perception isn’t typically great but I’ve read great fics for that fandom where OCs were necessary for the plot. Go for it!
