So I did restart, I named the island Moonstone, and I'm really excited about this run! Muffy was already one of my starters, so I'm taking this as a good sign that I made a really good choice! My museum and Nook's Cranny are both up, I invited 3 villagers (Twiggy, Stu, and Jambette), and I'm really hoping to get all of my dreamies, but in the meantime I think this will be really cool. I'm hoping my dreamies pop up though, and I'm also thinking maybe I'll keep everything very jewel toned. No neutrals, just jewel tones, some metallics, celestial themed items, and black.
You know how every few months I debate restarting my island? I'm getting that itch again lol, I just really love the hustle and bustle of restarting and making everything new and trying to level everything up again, and I love how unique each run is! I've never had the exact same run, and I've TRIED TO a few times just for fun! It's pure joy to have the motivation and goals in the beginning all over again
I know everyone says this, but I really do agree that we should be allowed to play as an animal in animal crossing tbh... until then, I'm making my character a fursona!
So I started a new island on Valentine's Day (which I'll be sticking with at least for a year, if not forever) because I forgot how great it feels to restart my island and have been thinking about it since January, all thanks to my lovely New Years island known as Cocoa Cove of course, so welcome to my new island Caochan Eit! If you're thinking, "Hey, that's too many characters!", you'd be correct lol, the way I wrote it in the game is simply Caochaneit.
Caochan and Eit are both Gaelic words (as I'm currently learning Gaelic) that are nature themed with "Caochan" meaning 'a small river hidden from view by vegetation' and "Eit" meaning 'quartz stones placed in a river by moonlight in hopes of catching fish'. I think they're great ways to describe my plans for my island, so I'm taking this very literally. I want to create a mystical rural town that specializes in fishing and farming vegetation. Maybe a farm to table even? Kinda dark fantasy vibes, but toned down in most areas... just not in my pine tree forest! That should remain pretty spooky and fantastical! I want it to have very big "they secretly pray, by moonlight, to a giant scary fish deity who is unfathomable and eats people but also blesses their harvests and fishing boats" vibes. It just feels pretty neat
It's going to be mainly practical with elements of the fantastical, and I'm still deciding on dreamies, but Kiki and Vesta seem like a great fit so far! Both have more earthy vibes, both could fit the mystical side of things, and both of them are fairly cottagecore. I also think that Vesta has a distinct "haunted scarecrow" vibe, and Kiki would be great for this village since she has that cute Halloween cat vibe but also seems like just an all around autumnal gal, and I have her amibo card too, so she might be the first villager I invite to stay with me!
I've already gotten all the way to having Isabelle on my island and just created my campsite, so I'm really hopeful that the story mode will pass by pretty quickly so I can simply enjoy villager hunting and decorating my island!
I just invited Gala and Clay to my island, things are really shaping up! I also have Fuchsia and Drift currently, so everything feels fairly well-rounded. I can only invite one more character currently, wish me luck!!🍀
OH MY GODS I ALMOST FORGOT TO UPDATE THIS, I FOUND FLORA!!! I CAN MATCH WITH PIXIELOCKS, THAT'S SO COOL!!🦩🦩🦩

🎈I'm 24, I'll be 25 in just one month, and I'm engaged to another nerd! 💍 👨🏼❤️👨🏽
🎁I mainly play on my Switch and my Wii because I'm a nostalgic cozy gamer, and I'm working on getting my DS fixed eventually because it was custom-made in Hong Kong (thanks to my dad) when I was a kid and I miss my games, and I play phone games on occasion
🎋The games I play are Animal Crossing New Horizons, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, Breath Of The Wild/ Tears Of The Kingdom, Twilight Princess (I'm trying to get Skyward Sword and all of the others), Spyro: Eternal Night, Overlord: Dark Legend (but I have the whole series on Steam), Mini Ninjas, Minecraft, Skyrim, Stardew Valley, Super Mario Odyssey, Luigi's Haunted Mansion 3, Fate, Sky, The Wolf (but I'm working on getting Wolf Quest), The Arcana, Adorable Home, and more!
🎣Most of my posts will be updates about my adventures in gaming, some discussion of ideas and planning involving my games, and other video game related content! I also want to post pictures of my games here so I can keep my memories without taking up all of my storage on my devices.
🗡I won't really have a DNI, but I don't tolerate fascism, nazis can fuck off, I will not discuss irl politics with you here, and if you're anti anything about me or this blog you can fuck off or I'll simply block you :))))))
Oh hell yeah!! I hope the wait time flies by for you!!
So you'll never guess who restarted Tears Of The Kingdom on an alternative account so they could do more with the sky Islands before going anywhere else but got wayyyyy too excited about getting down to Hyrule and ended up forgetting their own plan entirely😅
It me... I'm still having a lot of fun, though. Re-experiencing everything has kinda shown me the game under a new lense, and I'm even MORE emotional about the Zelda, Rauru arm, and dragon lore than ever before!!!
Oh my gods, oh my gods, my first smug villager on my Valentine's Day island is heeeeere!! I'm so scared, most smug villagers REALLY aren't my cup of tea, wish me luck!🍀
(I promise you I'm going to clean up those weeds, I'm just so focused on story mode currently, so once that's completed, I'll clean up and genuinely decorate)
are we not feeling very pious today, brother lionel
cult of the crossing animal or something idk
