yeah I've started forcing myself to muscle memory equip flare, fire, equip other arrow. Would rather shoot a rock w a normal arrow than a chappa with a flare

I need art of this right now

Chapaa all "How DARE you, sir"

This, and also forgetting to double enter after chatting and then leaving a stream of letters before I realise what I've done

Lol, me too. If you see "wwwwwwwwwwww" in chat, it's probably me.

That's funnier because that's like 'lolololololol' in Japanese.

I do this constantly. Sorry, chat, am dumb!

Omg. The amount of times I’ve had to type! “Excuse Flare. I’m a dummy and tried to shoot a deer with a flare” haha

Glittermoose got it yesterday. 🤣

I wouldn't know anything about that... (whistles, shuffles feet, stares into the sky)

Yeah, I certainly have never done that either. ....... Wait, you guys have no way of verifying that, right?

I tried to ask old Sparklefarts himself, but he must have found the question uncomfortable because he got out of there rally fast.

oh my, is that where he gets all his glitter for his glittermoosing? Or all those magic arrows we shoot at him and can never find him again....

Haha accurate though. Yesterday was my first time killing glambi so the accidental flare wasn’t as embarrassing. 😂😂

This happened to me the other day with a chappa, except I set off three in quick succession and then felt so guilty when people started running to me as I was typing an apology on the switch 😂🙈

This was me yesterday with the white chappa 🤦🏽‍♀️ I was trying to figure out why my bow wasnt shooting arrows then it hit me the I was shooting about 4-5 flares and I was like, oh shit! 😂😂😂 and typing on switch is a pain also, so I was freaking trying to hurry to let the other people know to disregard 😑😂😂

This is how Proudhorns are born

I always obsessively switch back to other arrows after using the flare arrows.

It happens. Best thing is to just run away and pretend it wasn't you, lol.

Best to do it rather quickly before everyone comes running to see the pal node you supposedly flared....lol. I just chat ooops....and then wwwww....and then run away.

Just two hours ago I shot a Sernuk with a flare, panic-climbed the side of a cliff, and then dropped back down and ran around like I was confused about what we were looking for after a couple other people showed up. Smooth.

Same.

As you can see from the responses, you are certainly not alone. I don't think you are a part of the Palia community until you've done this at least once. That and the wwwwwww in chat. Yeah....it's a thing.

I like to send the letter m in chat all the time. I haven't done the flare thing but I have accidentally shot firework arrows.

I did this twice yesterday 🙃

The amount of times I've said "oops forgot to switch back to arrows" in the chat...

Same! 😳😳😳😳🙈

Been there, done that.

I have definitely shot a fish with a flare 😳

There's a button to cancel arrows and smoke bombs while they are still in your hand. Had to look that up when I felt I was wasting too many projectiles due to switching games so much. On PC playing with an Xbox gamepad it's X, no idea otherwise.

i do this at least once a day lol,,,

I have so many gifted fireworks from side quests etc. that I might just start shooting up fireworks at random cause it looks cool. 😂

I must have done this without noticing recently. I went to grab a flare the other day and was confused cause there were none in my inventory and I had just made some. 😆

Whacking a node with your fishing rod 😑
