tamagotchi plus color

death of a legend

a close up photograph of my tamagotchi device showing a tama that looks like an old woman, unhappy and sick next to a pile of her own feces. but in a cute and cartoony style

i made the decision a couple of days ago to uhhh… actively…. let… grandma die. i had been caring for her with the assumption that one day she would die of old age, and then i learned that actually with perfect care she could live forever! no offense but i don’t really want a grandma tama forever so….. yeah……

you may be asking - does the current tama have to die to move on and free up the device? can’t you just breed her and get a new egg any time?

the answer is yes but i also recognized in grandma an opportunity to see firsthand how death works on this device, and that’s science, and science is important. when i was sold this device a lot of the listings had the death screen on it and the room it showed was an unfamiliar but kinda nice looking room and i really wanted to see it - and i did see it, here:

why i did it isn’t important. i do feel bad about it. i am very softhearted and always do my best to take good care of my tamas. i chickened out a couple times and fed grandma when she was starving. one time i did first aid when she was on the brink and an ambulance came and rushed her to the hospital and she lived. she was a strong, strong grandma. i didn’t get pics of that, but you know there’s always next time etc.

nurture grind continues. new baby is here now and she’s a girl yay! im going to do my best to do perfect care (no mistakes) to repay my karmic debt.

and i will make sure my new daughter honors the one who came before her.
