Ankha’s Photo

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, and received a bunch of valentines in the mail from my villagers and Isabelle. So I ended up with a lot of heart-shaped bouquets and chocolate hearts. However, I forgot to get my hot chocolate from Brewster at the Roost.

I’ve been continuing to give Ankha gold rose wreaths lately. Not only are the gold roses a renewable crafting material, but they’re pretty valuable and won’t mess up Ankha’s house. At worst, she’ll replace the gold rose wreath on her door with an identical one. 😉 So it’s a good system, and my work paid off today: Ankha rewarded me with her photo!

Ankha: How can I thank you... Ah! Why don't you take this reward of Ankha's photo?

I put it in my house. Ankha’s favorite quote is “All that glitters is not gold.”

Behold Ankha's photo.
Behold!

Festivale is coming up on Monday, and some of my villagers are already talking about getting ready for the event. Static even mentioned getting out some spangly outfits! 😆

Static: And maybe clean my spangly outfits while I'm at it. They've done nothin' but gather dust since last Festivale...

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me in some vacation clothes. That’s a theme I’ve always struggled with, so I searched my blog to see what worked for me before. I put on the top coat that Label gave me as an example, and I also added some soccer shorts, a skateboarding helmet, and Moccasin boots. I passed the fasion check, and Label gave me some Labelle shorts.

Label: Oh, wow! You've really captured the vacation look. Even the details are on point.

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

  • On Sunday, Wisp gave me a dreamy hanging decoration.
  • Sasha gave me a retro coat for returning his lost item.
  • On Monday, Celeste gave me a large star fragment.

Even though this next thing is about the original GameCube game and not New Horizons, I posted a new video today that I’ve been working on for quite a while. It shows all 218 villager homes in that game, and a brief note about each one. For example, only one villager has an Arwing in their home, and one villager’s house is basically a public restroom with a bunch of toilets! I’ve put a lot of work into this video, and I’d appreciate if you could check it out. Thank you! 😊

See you all next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

The Good Place Dream

I recently binge-watched the TV show The Good Place. So when I learned of a dream town based on the show, I just had to check it out! The dream address is 4470-2696-3728, and the town is called Schwifty. It was created by Clare (scarlethowl on Reddit). If you’re new to The Good Place, don’t worry: Everything is fine. 😉

Sign: Welcome! Everything is fine!

Many places from the show are recreated in this dream town, and the attention to detail is forking amazing. Here’s Michael’s office, complete with the picture of Doug Forcett, and the cactus from Janet. 😆

Michael's office from The Good Place, recreated in an Animal Crossing: New Horizons dream town.

And this is the area where the main (dead) characters watch their introductory orientation video (where Michael also tries some magic tricks). You can see Janet’s outfit on the far left.

Lots of chairs for the introductory video and magic show.

This is the train that Janet can use to travel between neighborhoods.

A train on tracks.

And who could forget when they re-enacted the trolley problem? 🚃

Recreating the trolley problem in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

It has so many references to the show, I couldn’t help but smile when I saw some of them. This represents Jeff (the doorman to Earth) and his frog collection. 🐸

Jeff's area, and his frog collection.

This one seemed so random, but it’s amazing when you realize what these objects are. I won’t spoil it here, though. Watch the show. 😉

A shopping cart, air conditioner, scuba mask and safe, and a statue.

There’s much more to this town than what I’m showing here, so check it out for yourself if you’re a fan of The Good Place! The dream address again is 4470-2696-3728. Great work with the town, Clare! Take it sleazy! 😉


Back in Forest, I sold 100k worth of fish to C.J. yesterday. And today, I attended two of K.K. Slider’s shows (one in Forest, and one in Beth’s town Cassia). He performed K.K. Bossa in Cassia, and K.K. Faire (one of my favorites) in Forest.

Static: Weather's downright pleasant... Like my sunny disposition! Gahaha!
Static looks a bit like Donkey Kong in this pic. 😉

I hope you’re all having a good weekend. See you next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

Drop Dead Gorgeous?

On Saturday night, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Island for me, Sasha, Rio, Agent S, and Louie.

When I visited Ankha on Sunday, she told me that she sits down at her golden casket to do her skin-care routine! I guess she wants to look drop-dead gorgeous!

Ankha: I always sit down at my golden casket to do my skin-care regimen.

Roswell the gator was camping at the campsite. I had no interest in adopting him, but there’s no harm in saying hello.

Roswell: Hey, you're a local, right? The name's Roswell. Ha HA! That's how I laugh.

Tonight, Static was sitting on the bench just across the bridge from Peach Park. He invited me to sit next to him. Aww, that’s cute. 🙂

Static: No reason to be shy! Come here, have a seat next to me!

So I sat down and decided to open up my camera app for a photo. But before I could, he jumped out of the seat and left me! How rude!

Static stands up seconds after I join him on the bench.

Punchy was crafting tonight, and he gave me a recipe for a purple hyacinth wreath. To my surprise, I didn’t have that recipe yet! I crafted one, and I thought about giving it to Ankha, since she doesn’t have anything on her door yet. But then I thought, I should craft a gold rose wreath for her instead. So I gave that to her, and she rewarded me with a garden gnome. 😛

Ankha: You know what? I'm going to return the favor. Here, take this. It's a garden gnome.

A few other quick notes about special visitors this week:

  • Sunday: Wisp gave me a hanging clothing rack.
  • Monday: Wisp gave me a simple table.
  • Wednesday: Celeste gave me five star fragments.
  • Today: Gullivarrr sent me a pirate dress.

I’ll be back again soon with another entry!
