![]() If you like beautifying your town, interacting with your villagers, and participating in events in Animal Crossing, you’ll find similar elements to enjoy in My Time at Portia. There’s no shortage of things to do, and Portia is full of mysteries that are a delight to watch unfold. When I wasn’t befriending townsfolk or gardening on my humble plot of land, I spent most of my time grinding away at building projects that sent me off to far reaches of the map to search for resources. You can take them on at your own leisure, which leaves a healthy amount of freedom to navigate the game how you wish. My Time at Portia brings you to the town of Portia to take over your father’s old workshop, where you serve as a builder who must take commissions to construct various items for the town. We like My Time at Portia for its similarly peaceful gameplay, tranquil music, and large variety of things to do. Slowing down to walk through the woods, catch fish, and water flowers has been a welcome respite through the most stressful days of the past year. One of the most endearing things about Animal Crossing is its unhurried pace and its relaxing, nature-oriented activities. Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One Price: $30 at the time of publication ESRB rating: E10+ Another peaceful simulation game, with relaxing aspects that remind us of Animal Crossing. A similarly relaxing simulation: My Time at Portia Whether you’re looking for something similarly relaxing or just want a new way to engage with friends, these games should appeal to anyone getting sick of Animal Crossing. If you’ve exhausted all there is to do in Animal Crossing over the past year and have grown tired of the grind, you may be in need of some fresh entertainment. Still, everybody needs a vacation sometimes, even from the nicest island. And for friends who couldn’t see one another in person, it also offered a unique platform to hang out. For some folks who craved a change in scenery from the chipping paint on their walls, it was easy to connect with Animal Crossing’s colorful nature, mellow music, and undemanding gameplay. Video games offered an easy escape from all of the stress and uncertainty, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons arrived at the perfect moment in March 2020. It’s been over a year since the early days of shelter-in-place and social distancing drove everyone to find adventures in their own homes.

Address: 2490 Giles Road, Baltimore, MD 21225 They return to the Birdcage of Lust, where the desires manifest as a diamond that is impossible to lift and too high to reach. The party sends the calling card via the "Futaba Cannon" broadcast hijack that night in order to announce the Phantom Thieves' grand return. After the entity was defeated, it drops a lock that breaks, finally summoning the Monarch into her Jail. When the Shadow of the bully spots the party, it steps down, twitches and turns into a Lock Keeper and attacks them. Instead, she used to have a popular boy at school confess to her, leading to her being bullied by other girls in her class and that boyfriend being taken away as well. It was revealed that Alice, unlike most of the Thieves' targets confronted before, isn't an inherently malicious person. While the party was initially stumped, Zenkichi Hasegawa, despite still being untrustworthy to the party at that time, provides them with valuable intel by implying that her former school is Shujin Academy (by telling Yusuke "everyone but yours" when he questions if Alice studied in Kosei High School.) The Phantom Thieves infiltrate the Jail in Shujin, now being overlaid by an isolated part of the Jail resembling a classroom where a Shadow taking form of Alice's bully throws insults on her while stepping on Alice and filming the humiliation of her. The party believes that the Bird Cage is inside Alice's former school, although she had deleted all mentions of it. This is the "Birdcage of Lust" and interacting with the barricade reveals an auditory flashback of what seems to be Alice being bullied in a school. ![]() Getting rid of that lock will summon the Monarch, and the Monarch was revealed to be actually shut inside that lock. On the top of its castle, valuable energy is stored, locked by a crown-shaped dome, which is only supported by giant rainbow-colored chains and a padlock. This castle is the main destination of the Phantom Thieves' infiltration. The center of the Shibuya Jail is a gaudy castle overlaid into the Shibuya 705 department store, decorated with Alice in Wonderland imagery. The party formulates a plan after returning to the Metaverse, where they disable the barricade while the protagonist takes care of thousands of Shadows on his own. The party is required to steal three "energy sources," known as cores, from the security towers, and must return to the real world due to the castle itself being surrounded by a barricade. The Jail itself resembles the real world Shibuya, but with a purple skyline and overlaid with gaudy decor and Alice posters. She attacks him physically with malicious glee on her face, even bragging that she scared her first manager into cowering in his home, further proving that she is indeed distorted. The protagonist and Ann later spot her in a hallway where her manager tries to get her to explain, only to be attacked and humiliated by her in an extremely indecent fashion (stomping on the manager just like her Shadow Self did to the protagonist). The program starts out as normal and seemingly no abnormalities come out from Alice herself at first, but a married host started talking about rumors of her boyfriend, then suddenly confesses his love for Alice. After an initial investigation, the protagonist and Ann Takamaki attend a talk show in Akasaka Mitsuke to meet Alice personally to check if she's really that malicious. ![]() The brainwashed adorers cause destructive incidents such as money loss, divorces, job expulsions and street fights all over Shibuya. Upon investigation, the party finds everyone who was attacked by Shadows yesterday undergone a Change of Heart and were horribly mesmerized by Alice. ![]() The next day, the party goes to Shibuya to check out the victims of yesterday's case. Having been accidentally stumbled upon a new Metaverse incident, the party puts the vacation on the back burner until this case is solved. Sophia assumes human form and escorts them to the way out, even displaying combat abilities. Shadow Alice dumps all three intruders into a junkyard where they encounter Sophia in the form of a box. ![]() She aggressively flirts with the protagonist, but cannot get anything from him, frustrating her. The trio fight their way out only to be surrounded, and the Shadows bring them to Shadow Alice for interrogation. In reality, that activates the Metaverse Navigator, and the trio is teleported into a section of the Metaverse overlaid into Shibuya where Shadow Alice appears and steals the desires of everyone inside it bar the protagonist, Morgana and Ryuji Sakamoto. During a meeting with Alice Hiiragi in a public event, she hands the protagonist a card to "wonderland" where they can "befriend" Alice by inputting "Wonderland" into the EMMA app. ![]() If you are an experienced Air Traffic Controller with a prior tower certification or credential who wants to be part of a professional, customer service and safety-oriented organization, please submit your application today!

![]() To her, enemies-to-lovers can go one of two ways. Lori Morimoto is an independent researcher of fan culture whose work has been featured in everything from Becoming: Genre, Queerness and Transformation in NBC’s Hannibalto A Companion to Media Fandom and Fan Studies. However, when it comes down to it, there are certain features that must be present to truly belong to the trope.ĭr. Often dramatic and sometimes tragic, the enemies-to-lovers trope is as complex as it is simple there are many iterations and versions.Įnemies-to-Friends-to-Lovers is a subtag on Ao3, and as such is a derivative of the trope, taking the flip from hate to love a bit slower for an arguably more realistic (but still self-explanatory) turn. Canon or not, they all have one thing in common: Boy, did they hate each other. Modern examples include Buffy Summers and Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Emma Swan and Captain Hook from Once Upon a Time, and Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter from Hannibal. Sometimes there are pit stops in between, but the trajectory is much the same: You hate someone until the second you realize you love them. There are just over 53,000 works tagged enemies-to-lovers on Archive of Our Own - stories of people going from viciously hating each other to sharing the same bed. ![]() It’s an age-old trope hundreds of years in the making. They showed us that sometimes you just need a little push to make you realize the emotion you’re feeling isn’t hatred. Not to mention the delightful revelation that was Catra and Adora in She-Ra. The tumultuous relationship trajectory of Han and Leia, or say, The 100’s Clarke and Lexa, are perfect examples. When two characters really hate each other - driving up the drama and the banter and the suspense - it makes for some good media. But where do they come from, and what about them resonates so deeply? This month, as part of our Origins of Fanfiction series, SYFY WIRE explores the origins of enemies-to-lovers and how its perception in modern media is in flux. From hurt/comfort to University AU, these tropes are popular for a reason. In the world of fanfiction there are tropes - common themes and storylines that writers and readers flock to, be it out of interest or a desire to scratch a specific itch.
