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?
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
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 entirely๐
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!!!
i love animal crossing!! ๐ดโ๏ธ
Plucky moved out! She was one of my starter villagers, so it was kinda sad, but she doesn't fit my theme and isn't really my favorite anyway, so I'm not too mad about it. I went villager hunting today and found Leopold, who's definitely one of my favorites, and while he's not one of my dreamies for this island he really fits my theme and I don't have more nook mile tickets to use currently so I'm just really happy that he matches the themes I have planned and part of my vision for the island! ๐
I think honesty if I struggle to find one of my dreamies, I might just let Leopold take their place until I can find them. Same with Papi and Lionel, they're all great villagers of a similar color scheme, so it kinda works for me. The only other issue here is that if I see Ed, Julian, or Ione, I might have to keep Filbert and change my theme to celestial or just make my island more blue because they're some of my very favorite villagers

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!
Things are never dull with Chrissy around
I miss playing D&D so much! It's been years, and the last time I played it, I had my campaign destroyed by a vindictive second DM that I didn't know was angry with me until it was too late (I blame my autism for somehow not reading that on them)... now that my life is more stable without vindictive assholes in it, I want to maybe try again. I found my old notes from a campaign I designed completely myself, and I'm thinking about designing a reboot or making an entirely new campaign just for fun! I missed the chaos and the silly banter, and I can't wait to revive my best character(s) and lay waste to my enemies as a druidic bard, or maybe I'll try monk or paladin againโ๏ธ

๐I 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
๐The 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!
๐ฃMost 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.
๐กI 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 :))))))
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!!๐
Here's an impromptu photodump about life on Caochan Eit from our very own island representative, Lynx!๐ช๐๐พ๐ฃ
