Hiii!! i have a buncha new stuff to share :D

First of all, my angel evolved into Chestnut Angel yesterday!!! Cuz i think i only let the Effort bar get to zero once cuz i got lazy and didn't play the game, other than that i never let them hit 0 :3c
Also i made it (and my ID) cases today! yippee!

Hello!!!! this is kind of a placeholder cuz idk what im gonna do for the main journal thingie layout yet but I wanted to get some stuff down
Also- i think faster than I type so im probably gonna come back and edit this to be more readable- sorrgy xD

Started up another tamagotchi today: my 4u! I thought that cuz I had all this time on my hands cuz of summer I'd run some tamas with some characters that take a bit more effort to get, and the 4u is one of those--also I just haven't run it in a while

I thought I'd make a case for it later or something but i remembered I had this blue fluffy case with me that happened to go super well with the Aikatsu faceplate I had on there and oh my gosh its adorable 😭



I'm still running my ID, Lovelitchi is doing well :D I looked it up and today's Uwasatchi's birthday so my normal wallpaper got replaced with this one



It's not as cute as my normal one but oh well ;u;



Also- the angel i got yesterday!!! It's been doing well- and maybe this is just me being new to it but i love this tama so much oh my gosh 🥹 its everything good about the p1 and p2 but better and cuter and GAH xD cuz first and formost, the sounds are lovely , its still the kinda watch-like beeping of the vintage era but its so much quieter and it's at a really nice pitch, at least for the rereleases (i know theyre at a different pitch than the original for some reason). The p1 and p2 rereleases would sometimes get so loud they would sound really scratchy- it was awful 😭

Secondly- I love the kinda unique charm the pre-connection tamas have. They're so simple but unique; they're never too overwhelming with gimmicks and such but they're never easy to care for. I love modern tamas but i can really appreciate the simplicity of the pre-color tamas--and heck, even ones like the ID


Side tangent I just thought of on the spot- I've begun to realize what the divide between new and old tamas is... the new ones are so filled with gimmicks and features and such xD
On the newer ones--especially the really gimmicky ones like the uni and pix--i find myself using the extra features a lot at first but then reverting back to the basic "feed clean play sleep cycle". To be honest thats why i love the tamas like the 4u that have specific requirements to get certain characters; it gives you a reason to use those gimmicks and stuff and I like that :) And heck- even the Pix has something like that with the job thingies
And then theres stuff like the vintages and the connections where theres a buncha different characters and the good ones are hard/really hard to obtain, it can get really difficult but it keeps you playing for longer xD (although i have admittedly gotten pretty upset cuz i thought i was ontrack for a tier 1 character but ended up with a tier 3 character on my v3s ;u;)

Don't get me wrong tho, I love all of them so much (at least the ones ive played), no matter how many bells and whistles they have. I don't think there is a single tama i dislike (aside from specific things from some devices, like the difficulty of some tamas or the touchscreen on the smart). Cuz no matter how often i use them, the extra stuff on modern tamagotchis is really cool, and sometimes i love to turn them on and mess around with them cuz they're really fun when i have the time and energy for them :)
And really, at the same time, I love the tamas that have those extra things but they aren't really a requirement--like I can use them if I want to but its not a requirement to get good characters

Theres probably others that are a lot like this, but I think the ID is a pretty good example. Sure, the character list is small, but they're all adorable, and once you get them you can fill the (pretty easy) requirements to get their tamatomo stamp. It's optional, but it makes it fun and gives you a reason to come back and keep getting different characters

More than anything, i like that there's a lot of different tamas out there right now; even the ones currently in production are a nice variety--if you like ones with a lot of gimmicks, theres the uni and later on the Paradise. If you like the simple ones, theres the Nanos and the Connections and the Angel rerelease. If you want a really simple one, theres the P1/2 and a bunch of really simple nanos out there.


Anyway, back to talking about my tamas, the shell on my angel is also absolutely adorable. It's probably one of the cutest tamas I own; as much as i dislike the low quality printing on the rereleases, the design makes it easy to ignore at least :>
