SCREENSHOTS
Neat! *click*


2014

La likes birds. For a long time she wondered what these were and had a few ideas before Unplugged/Ben helped her out by confirming that they are blue tits. So this is the result of a lot of bird watching. Click for full size.
Another Easter bubble. So exciting.On Easter, La found Tanpopo and Twist and blew bubbles with them.La searched for and found some eggs on Easter. They were delicious.
Good Friday. After Stitches' and Arcus' wedding I went looking for a shot with bats in it and this was the artsiest one that I was able to catch. I've always loved the dragonflies in the pond and the reflection effects. Click for full size.La met some very polite and curious bats on Good Friday. Click for full size.La with Vaq on Mardi Gras. Lost this one for a while and just found it looking through my easter screenshots. La and Vaq are pranking buddies.
At Stitches' and Arcus' wedding, everyone dyed themselves red, and at one point we were dancing to form an aisle. Such a lovely day.A great moment Stitches and Arcus had alone while the rest of us were looking the other way.Ah, to be pranked. Was turned into a frog but ultimately became a weed.
After the Mardi Gras show, La found fireflies. I just shamelessly love the colors of the confetti, sky, and how they look with the flowers. Also intended as something of a callback to the screenie of La playing with butterflies as a fawn.Later in the same day of Mardi Gras, La standing in the same spot but framed differently. I caught it at the right moment when she was just looking around.La standing on The Point of Origin early in the morning of Mardi Gras. It's her favorite place.
Jennie was one of the first deer La found on Mardi Gras and she turned and gave La such a look.La with one of the gods in godball form around 4AM PST on Mardi Gras. An extremely religious moment for her.La goofed off with Flyleaf, Jennie, Kio, and others that she didn't know. It was quite a party and at one point everyone became one huge dancing deerball. Flyleaf kept falling out. Smiling
La and Sabel take a snooze in blueberries.With the grass textures disabled the ground renders as white, making it look like snow. Took this on a snowy day so it's double the fun.La tolerates the rain without growing moss. Her coat is decently waterproof but not coldproof.
La and her friend the Kind Stranger once slept under this rock during a thunderstorm when she was a fawn. You can see it in the 2010 collages.From a day when La and many deer became rabbits.My first attempt at animating screenshots.
La and her buddy Vaq had a very delightful and aromantic Valentine's Day.On Valentine's day when it was raining red flowers and there were giant dandelions (visible in the far background) this red one fell over La's chest when she was at her favorite spot.Mushrooms in general remind La of a deer who kept her safe as a fawn under a mushroom, the same deer she knows as The Kind Stranger.
When it was rainy, La took the book under some toadstools to read.With Bo, an unidentified fawn, Flyleaf, and Jennie after playing around the tulip.La's/my first experience with tulips. She wanted to eat all of them.
La's very first time meeting Smiling Jack. She was totally baffled and amazed by his ability to climb."Dear Gods, it's me La; Why did you make it so cold?"Sometimes it takes a while to notice when it first starts snowing.

2010

La with a vision of her own adulthood and also with the Kind Stranger who kept her company through a thunderstorm. She never learned their name but cares a a lot for them.Going through ancient screenshots and setting them up in images like this.La's only companion for a very long time in the 3.41 beta, which was a mostly empty and haunted forest for La and my bad internet. This was a very meaningful interaction for me. I do not know the player nor the name of the deer.
She never did catch 'em.Vipin was the first deer La made contact with. She was extremely leery about sitting near him because of his mask but eventually got up the courage to "casually" sit next to him.


I like taking screenshots (I joke that I have the soul of an incredibly lazy and unfathomably talentless photographer) and just linking to them is taking up a big chunk of space on La's biography so I'm going to keep the ones I like best here and update whenever.

Oldest at the bottom, newest at the top. Hover over the little box to see the image. Sometimes they're pretty big, and in those cases you can click the thumbnail to take you to the full-size instead of just hovering. I do this to save scrolling space on the page and load time for your browser.

Raw/unedited screenshots documenting things are in the comments.

Mardi Gras 2014 here, here, and here. They are a mess because it was early in the morning and I was one of the only people on the forums and in game to take shots for people.

Stitches/Arcus wedding pictures are here. It was a shame to later find out that Stitches' player had been deceptive and I considered removing these, but memories are memories, and in-character they are still a good thing.

Easter weekend is here. Lots of playing and investigating for La.

May 4th 2014 (Giant Dove Day for La) is here.

Pictures of Quadraptor's July 29th meditation walk are here.

The fawn Callielujah's first night in the forest.

October 30, 2014, La met Auriea.

Thank you! I've had good luck

Thank you! I've had good luck getting things to look how I want them before I take them. There's not really any real art to screenshots other than the game itself though, I just sometimes like a moment so much that I feel like it's worth saving.

Dumping Mardi Gras

Dumping Mardi Gras screenshots here, which I also posted in the new set catalog and the Endless Carnival thread. I took most of these to document new sets for people who couldn't be online. Later on people were able to take much better screenies, though I take a certain pride in being the first one to post some. But keeping them close to La because she's in them, and dropping them off in the comments because I don't feel that any of them are artsy enough for the first post.


La ran into Flyleaf fast, she knows his picto and sought him out because he is a constant source of fun. Because he had become part swan today, I called him Swanleaf in my head the whole time.


The first time I saw the new swan antlers.


Brand new koi pelt. Everyone was so understanding and sweet about me taking screens of them.


Cuddles with Swanleaf after he turned La into Swanla. while some deer with the barn owl pent frolic in the back. At the time we thought they were cheetah pelts or giraffe or something and later I thought oh duh owl.


Koi antlers.


Jennie gave me this look. It made me laugh hysterically.


Koi mask is my favorite mask in the game now.


Honk.


This file is called felineowlmask.jpg because at the time I hadn't figured out what it was.


First glimpse of owl antlers was an unfortunate angle. In my defense I hadn't slept in order to be around for Belgian time.


Koifawn also cracked me up. I said in another thread where I posted this that I just wanted to toss him bread crumbs all day and I'll stand by what I said.


There was special music on the hill.


These lovely folks posed for people to admire them.

Last batch of Mardi Gras

Last batch of Mardi Gras pictures, these are specifically related to the brief Abiogenesis that occurred about ten minutes before midnight, Belgium time.


A plane flew over The Ruins where La had been relaxing and she bolted to this area where she felt pictographs congregating. It is very close to the middle of the right edge of the map.


One of the gods was in the form of a god ball. She saw one of these much earlier in the day, around 4:30 AM PST (I woke up really early today).


Then it was twilight. It happened very quickly.


Then it was time to get down and do a little dance.


Such a wallflower. I found out later she was invisible to everyone and that there was a strange barn owl deer that was showing up to everyone else sitting in The Ruins. Fooled both FairyClock's Tanpopo and my partner's Vaq.

Looking to identify this


Looking to identify this lovely fawn who never showed up on The Map. Met some time before 2AM PST on March 11th. La kept him/her company until they sat down, then La sat down too and... promptly fell asleep. Whoever you were, you were precious and La would be happy to have you as a student.


Neglected to share this earlier because I lost it in the folder. This is around 4AM PST/1PM ToT Time on Mardi Gras, one of the gods in godball form. La's first time ever seeing a god. A better screen, albeit cropped, is in the first post about this.

La attended Arcus' and

La attended Arcus' and Stitches' wedding on April 18th, 2014. I also saw Jennie, Kio, Flyleaf, Pelicann's fawn, Uitleger, and many others whose names escape me or whom I could not identify. Things were moving pretty fast! In the end it was a lovely evening and I enjoyed spending time with so many lovely deerpeople.


When she got there, some deer were dancing in the air but a while after she arrived they fell back down and cuddle puddled. Because it was also Good Friday, the skies were pink and the lighting was lovely and bats were out flying!


The last flying dancer descended shortly thereafter. Smiling


One by one, folks ran off to dye themselves in the crying idol and run back. La was a bit late doing that but still enjoyed herself. When she got back folks were running around this purple flower patch and even though it was twilight there was a special ray of light on the wedding.


Lots of romping.


People made an Aisle to dance. There were lots of fireflies out. At one point a nameless deer ran through down the aisle, I wonder what he thought was happening? But I hope he had fun.


After forming another line, I caught this quick moment behind everyone else, when Stitches and Arcus had a moment of silence. I like to imagine they had a quick smooch here. <3


People settled down again, all red, in sight of the grave with the image of Jesus on it, which was important in Stitches' and Arcus' wedding roleplay.


So many candles. <3

Finally getting all my best

Finally getting all my best Good Friday through Easter raw pictures together to tell La's story for those days.


On Saturday, La was a frog and spent her time avoiding predators... she eventually saw this adorable circle of fawns together and went to join them to maybe play, since she loves fawns. The smallest one was super sweet and she played with La and then they sat together. It was really pleasant for La and it made my day. Thank you, all you fawns!


Then Easter happened. La woke up at The playground and saw the candles. Candles are new for La, in the past she's always managed to miss days when they have been out. She found them mesmerizing.


Then she tried playing with bubbles. Her first tries didn't go so well.


She went back to The Ruins, her more or less home, and found them similarly covered with candles. Who put them there? Who has the power to light them?


Did they fly?


The mother and child statues are important to La, being to her symbols of a family that she never had. She doesn't mourn the absence of a family, but when exciting things happen, she does like to share them with the statues, if only briefly.


Later she found Tanpopo and Twist by The Playground. She cares dearly for both of them and tried to trap them in bubbles. It worked with Tanpopo but Twist is always too fast.


At one point Tanpopo somehow vanished.


She came back of course, and true to form she was giggling again in no time.


Ultimately it was very relaxing and nice. Look at Twist standing at Tan's feet. Socute.

Early in May La was turned

Early in May La was turned into a dove and took advantage of the situation (being small and nonthreatening) to go see Shahla's babies. She met a few and was as respectful as she could be. La doesn't like to be imposing around newborns and usually does appear as a bird when she meets them.


Babies <3 La let them be after a while and fell asleep somewhere.


BUT THEN, she woke up and she was giant. Odd. La blames the glitch skull for this prank.


Where do giant birds go? In giant cages. La thought this was hilarious. I don't get the joke, personally.


Played a lot with these three people.


Later found Herla and Kio. Nested between them.


Then nested with Ben and Lem.


When Lem was gone, La preened Ben and tried to be wings for him. It didn't work. Sad

Played a little with

Played a little with Sunna'May, Ben and Kio, but Sunna didn't seem so interested in settling down with us. Most tsundere deer I've ever seen.

On July 29th, Quadraptor

On July 29th, Quadraptor organized a meditation walk and of course La thought this was a wonderful idea and she very much wanted to be a part of it.


She ran into Poe around the ruins about fifteen minutes ahead of time and together they headed to the meeting place for the walk, which happened to be The Old Oak. Easily La's least favorite place, period. Paced around Poe anxiously on their way there, but once they got up to it and La saw the folks around there, she calmed down some. If anything bad was going to happen, she figured, all the nice people there could help protect her.


Danced to shake out her nerves. Also her first meeting with Quad in the forest. Immediately liked him and his sweet dance moves. Didn't go inside the Oak.


People piled in pretty fast, there were deer everywhere. Of course everyone rallied behind quad and he got the ball moving. La felt a lot like a bird the way they all followed him sort of forming a big V-like triangle the way that migrating geese do.


La kept going too fast, thinking about stuff. It's not easy to clear her mind when she finds comfort most in thinking about things and planning. Kept stopping to let people catch up so she could be part of the herd.


Ending the walk about an hour later. Endless Forest Deer are, I think, a jubilant people and even a long walk is something they consider worthy of celebration.

One of my housemates decided

One of my housemates decided to give the game a try while my bf (his character is named Vaq) and I had our characters derping around. She showed up and we ran around like doofs and played some games with strangers.


La and Vaq insisted on playing games with magic and started teaching the fawn about it.


HAHA FUCKING HA You guys are jerks. Vaq knows La hates that tree.


The fawn had a good idea of what she wanted to look like as an adult. She wanted antlers, but couldn't grow them, so she made some out of twigs.


They got sick of painting the fawn and then they fell asleep in a mushroom circle, and of course that means animal transformations.


They made Vaq a raven (he wouldn't stop until he could be a raven, that's his favorite thing ever) and hung out on a stone slab for a while.

HALLOWEENISH TIMES 2014

HALLOWEENISH TIMES 2014 GUYS
La met Auriea October 30th.


La was hanging out near the BZD and then felt a deific pictograph in the distance. While everyone else was distracted by the enormous dead deer, she bolted towards it and found her god. She immediately nuzzled her (are you even allowed to do that?). Apparently that's a good thing because she got a sweet flippin' Luchador mask.


So La followed her around with a few other people, crying softly and being amazed.


Auriea picked up speed and La followed, but accidentally crashed into Vala. La is sorry Vala! She didn't mean to crash into you!


She ran into The Old Oak and La was so stoked that she wasn't even scared. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me."


She turned into a ball of light.


And led everyone to the idol so they could paint themselves properly.


Look at all those gorgeous red bodies.


The god took them to De Drinkplaats and everyone god naked. La stayed with Auriea because oh my god and it seemed like the crowd had lost track of her, mostly.


La finished the day by running around with Ryff. I just love this look she gave La.

Awesome screenies, I've only

Awesome screenies, I've only managed to witness falling flowers and a blood-filled Pond so far... Hopefully everyone will see the same wonderful things La did! And you're not bad at photography, this stuff is great. Anyway, anything from the game looks good Eye especially with a glowing ball of light and a few bubbles.
