I Know Everyone Says This, But I Really Do Agree That We Should Be Allowed To Play As An Animal In Animal

I love that my fiancé and I kinda have matching islands but in different directions! Mine is a kinda cottagecore village with a welsh name and a tune from Lord Of The Rings/ The Hobbit, and my fiancé's island is a kinda cottagecore town with a Japanese name and a Studio Ghibli island tune! I love seeing that Lark is visiting from Komorebi with the title "Aspiring Pet" just as much as I'm sure xe loves seeing that Lynx is visiting from Caochan Eit with the title "Festive Pet". My energy is matched SO well down to every little detail🥰

Even our island names are kinda matching cottagecore vibes with xyr island name meaning "Light dappling through the trees" and mine meaning "A river hidden by vegetation" and "The act of leaving quartz crystals in riverbeds by moonlight to attract fish". Just very cottagecore vibes🌲🌟🪻

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

Thanks to StagnantSwamp on picrew, I'm all designed as a cute little ragdoll cat that I'm naming Merlin

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!

Update on that: I've defeated three of the 4 regional phenomena (Tulin, Riju, and Mineru's quests), and I'm moving on to the Sidon and Yunobo quests now! The bosses are even more fun a second time around, and I missed the Stormwind Ark challenge SO MUCH!

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!!!

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 love the Nintendo switch but the Nintendo switch doesn’t love me, you know? I felt like the wii loved me

What if celestial cottagecore island that mainly has blue, white, green, purple, and gold as a color scheme, and I invite Tia, Baabara, Becky, Ione, Julian, Filbert, Eunice, Diva or Gloria, and Ed? Maybe Muffy? Like... kinda whimsigoth, maybe 60's/ 70's Renaissance revival as well, with a hint of dark fantasy?

I just got two birds with one stone: I got my 10th villager, Papi (who is one of my favorites and a dreamie of mine for literally any island) AND because he's moving onto my island I finally had enough points to get KK Slider to visit my island! Considering I've majorly slacked off with this island and started it on Valentine's Day, I'm honestly really happy with the results! My only issue so far is that I had an autofill, and it was Claudia... she's like the opposite of the aesthetic of my island theme. Normally, on a casual island, I'd be much more chill about things, but currently, I'm just a tad disappointed. I really just let time get away from me long enough to get an autofill...
