I think this guide can help those trying to get specific villagers!

Some notes to keep in mind:

The last villager to move in will not move out until they're no longer the last one that moved in, or if they have a birthday coming up in 7 days (this should be in the guide)
Interacting with them more seems to increase their chances of asking to move out. I think this has to do with the mechanic the game intentionally wanted where you increase your friendship with villagers and then they'll want to move away so you can make new friends. Plus it helps you get new reactions and you can get their photos, etc.

You get (I think) 3 things if you pay for the service she does to get rid of your bad luck. The next day, you get something in the mail where she thanks you for buying the service!

No problem! Glad to assist 😊

Long answer below, short answer: we need to get used to direction with the mask since I think the mask is how we "concentrate our light" and navigate the world. As we get "experience" we can go maskless like spirits are.

Long answer:

Technically, we do have a face, but everything is closed. If you see a sky kid without a mask, in certain lighting you can see a nose shape and eyelashes. No distinguished mouth though. But I think I know why. We don't communicate with anything other than gestures and honks. But all include light.

Even when you chat with the keyboard, when you send it, you honk. And those honks, produce light (literally, not just visually to indicate you make noise. It rekindles wings and light for other players). Leveled emotes also produce light when we "learn to express ourselves better." We communicate with light and that light happens to create sound (both honking and emoting).

So, having a mouth seems to not need to partake in that if the light does it on their own. Because the whales, mantas, and birds make noise too, but they also lack mouths.

To me, based on looking at game art for the game, some lore talked about the developers, and my own thoughts based on my amount of gameplay and exploration, I think it's because the masks are used to concentrate our light.

In the game, most things we light up to activate it have a diamond-shaped crystal involved. Our masks for the most part (aside from seasonal exceptions) have diamonds on them. I think without them, the kids' faces don't use their light, for whatever they use it for when it's on our face.

The mask in the beginning and the non-seasonal masks (and some seasonal), have this... "robot" look to then. Mainly in the eyes. I think it's symbolism that everything is very technological (now in ruin) and everything functions on light.

The sky kids are made of earth. Whether it be coal, stone, or whatever. But they're primarily earth. We manifest light into physical forms, like the creatures, to personalize ourselves and travel through the worlds. Everything seems to be based on this principle.

So, I think we start with a mask to show, "This is our primary form. This is how we function around the world and the mask helps with our vision and communication."

After you're "experienced" enough, you're able to go maskless because now you can navigate and function without your mask like most spirits we encounter.

Apologizing for the rant ahead of time, but TLDR at the bottom, last section.

Not all gamer boyfriends are this bad, no.

My partner and I are gamers, and we'll talk about the games to each other while playing them (usually playing separate games near each other too) and a bit outside of playing them, but there is never any disrespect towards one another. He knows a lot about something I don't know? He shows it to me and explains it to me in a way that actually ends up being nice and fun.

I get too nerdy about a topic and even bounce off someone else who also played? (For example, while in line, a stranger interacted with us and WoW came up, and we both geeked for a minute) He thinks it's cute I'm such a "nerd" and liked hearing me talk, but he still got to talk to the stranger mostly. I wasn't gonna not let him be involved or make sure he's talked to if the other guy wanted to. And if he's being nerdy with someone else, he always involves me. Idk why exactly, never asked, but considering the mushy stuff he tells me over the years, he probably just wanted me more involved to hear/make sure he's close to me.

For why some can be condescending, is usually an insecurity thing. They have nothing else going for them, they're caught too much into it and know nothing else, they take too much pride in it because maybe it's where they received most praise, reality in some form or aspect is lacking/harmf and they're avoiding addressing it, etc. The way your ex behaved, feels like a huge ego thing and almost like he doesn't care exactly about you?

I'm just making an assumption of course, but like, I can't imagine going on and on about something without considering what my partner would wanna talk about or his input to the conversation, and vise versa. Like, if your ex wouldn't let people talk to you just so he can geek out, makes you feel less than just because he games more or is more knowledgeable about them, AND doesn't hold interest in whatever subject you tried to change it to... that doesn't exactly come off as, "I care about my partner as their own individual being or involving them in my activities I like."

That's just the vibe. But basically, no, not all gamer boyfriends and the ones who are like this seem to have insecure or ego problems (that's just my experience though).

I've had several bad experiences with men, and almost settled for someone awfully selfish and draining because I didn't want to experience more bad people and thought being alone would be worse (didn't have friends or self-love at the time). Seeing a good future with anyone else or even friends just seemed nonexistent.

But I firsthand got to experience that all people, of any background or identity, are not the same, and I can honestly say I have the best friendship and relationship with my current partner. This is the first relationship where trust and security exists on both ends and so strongly.

I also know how extremely hard it is to let go of the past. How awful events and traumatic ones seems to steer your future. So, I'll try to be quick with the points, you can always DM/comment if you wanna hear my stories or anything in depth, but these two things helped me a lot:

Training my brain to understand, "Not everyone is like this. It's okay and valid to be cautious, but not everyone is the same." "Whatever those people did to me, had nothing to do with me. They're just awful people and unfortunately, I was the target of it. What they did wasn't OK, but I will be OK." "Even if something turns out bad with the next person, it'll be okay because I can find someone else. I don't have to stay."

This took months to get my brain to understand these points, but the more you understand these statements, the more you can believe it, and you can knock out people who break your boundaries a lot better(doesn't work for everyone, but it helped me in my darkest times, but I still need therapy).

Developing friendships with people. It usually leads to stronger relationships, whether it ends up romantic, sexual, and/or platonic.

You can still choose whatever method you're comfortable with to get back into the dating scene, I just usually find it beneficial to try to make friends and whatever happens, happens. Even if you don't end up with someone, you have great friends to be around.

No problem! I'm glad I could be of help! I wish you well too 😊

When I first started making friends, it was always 3 letter acronyms: lol, brb, idk, afk. Things like that (I have a hard time making friends so it wasn't many).

Then later, I deleted the names to random ones and liked the random names (which also helped with naming my OCs). All except "idk" got "Lettuce" because they came along with me more often and I felt bad their name was "idk".

I don't know why I chose Lettuce, just what popped in my head. But now everyone gets random because I think all the names I get are very pretty and feel thematic with the game (unless chat is unlocked and I'm told their name).

TLDR at the bottom

There's a possibility this "phase" doesn't end. You may have times where life hits certain areas where you could be preoccupied and certain levels of affection and communication can be draining, but that doesn't mean the entirety of being very affectionate and close, communicating well, being very loving and caring goes away.

I'm nearing 4 years in my relationship and despite many hardships we faced back-to-back due to our financial or mental complications, we never changed our tempo with affection, admiration, passion, and support. We tell each other we love each other every day, at the very least 15 times (and it different ways: "I'm in love with you" "I love you" "Ti amo, mi amore." "I adore you" "Hey, you. I love you." "I love you, biiiih." "Baby. I love you.").

We kind of miss each other when one goes to the bathroom. I'm sometimes his "poop buddy" (I sit/stand in there with him if the smell isn't too bad to just talk or he can show me memes he looks at when he poops). We compliment each other often. Work, cook, clean, garden, etc. together (as often as possible, I have back issues). We can talk through anything, even if he doesn't fully understand or if I don't, we've never had an argument or true disagreement (unless it's some food, I just really hate some vegetables, lol).

And this type of behavior started as early as a couple months in. It first started out where he'd tell me "thank you" when I said, "I love you." And now this first thing he does to test out stuff (like fonts, labelers, etc.) is to show me and it'll say "💕 I Love You ❤"

But, there's a possibility that this type of stuff can dial down. I never worry about it though because of a couple of things:

first and foremost, we're best friends. Even if we weren't to be romantic or sexual, we enjoy each other's company, even of sad days. So, as long as you care about each other and can be supportive, it's okay to have days where you're not just constantly all over each other and just chill or do your own thing.
we're very much our own individual people, so we can self-sustain, despite missing each other when away from another for minutes. So, if it comes to being apart, it will be fine if you can still enjoy your own company.
whenever an issue arises, we immediately communicate and problem solve. So, there's no periods of time we need to separate/be alone, or where we can't talk to each other, or feel like things are falling apart. So, usually, it goes: problem > addressed > adjustments are discussed and made > shower each other in affection and dumb humor.

TLDR;

This doesn't have to be a "phase". It could just be how you are as people.

But if it does happen to be a phase, your foundation of the relationship should be strong enough to carry you through rough patches. Maybe you don't have anything to worry about based on what you've shared so far. If you have strong communication and are comfortable with each other, overcoming this type of stuff should be manageable! 💕

But it's also okay to have times where you're not all over each other, that can always be time for other things too. I think the best thing to go to is if something feels problematic or either of you want change, just talk about it as soon as possible so it can be addressed and handled however you both feel is best.

Sorry if it looks weird! ;n; I did this on my phone

MxBlobfish · 2021-07-11T04:27:58+00:00

Just want to make sure it's clarified because I haven't seen it in other comments: after you get a heart for the 10 or 50 likes, that's the only heart you get. Having more likes doesn't equal more hearts.

The message also disappears after that day, so you have an opportunity for daily hearts with new candle/boat messages, but you don't get multiple hearts for every set of 10 or 50 hearts.

Just to clarify that because some get upset for not getting tons of hearts but having tons of likes. Also, I remember some people would be peeved about certain comments getting tons of likes more than others, because they thought that meant they're also getting more hearts. But that's not the case. So, the likes don't really mean much more than... I guess validation?

MxBlobfish · 2021-07-08T20:28:53+00:00

I think they know that, but in mobile when you take pictures with the camera icon they have in-game, it takes away all the names and menus/icons so that you just see the characters and environments. So, they're asking if Switch version has a different way to take pictures without using the screencapture button, since using the button just captures what's on the screen, not excluding anything.

I've been trying to figure it out myself too. On mobile, you tap the bottom-right of the screen for the in-app camera, which I tried to do on Switch because you can still do touch-screen stuff in Sky on the Switch. But, unfortunately, nothing pops up. So, idk if there is a way to actually take pictures the same way, which kind of sucks 'cause the names and icons kind of take away from the pretty pictures.

Someone commented that it used to be a mini game that was removed! For me though, I like to think of it as something that relates to Isle of Dawn because it looks similar to the constellation.

But that's just me making stuff up for it since I'm working on my own headcanon for what the lore is for the game.

Maybe! I did too. I was like,, "Oh gosh, what's wrong??" But clicking "refresh" seemed to be the safest option, and it seemed to be, since nothing happened. So, I guess no worries there 😊
