Illustration / Hot Chocolate Girl + update!
In this MondayLeonieRamble:
- Hot chocolateee!!!
- Personal update time for the past week
Introducing Hot Chocolate Girl!
Something I did for fun because I miss hot chocolate 😀
Sketch & lineart phase!
Personal update time!
- Got busy over the weekend with a rush job, AC & the usual life too
- Why is Cats – Lindsay Ellis
- gave me better context on why it exists, the poems & the musical
- how TS Elliot was super problematic (the source material)
- might listen to her podcast MusicalSplaining if I can ever stop playing Animal Crossing less :0 So probably not :’)
- compilation of different WHYYYY from Jesus Chris Superstar
- A few weeks ago my freelance contract ended so I’m back to being technically unemployed! Aye that is the freelance life :’) [twitter post] [instagram post]
- Using Happy Island Designer to help me plan & terraform my island; it’s been super time consuming!! But it relieved my anxieties of rebuilding my island.
- creating my island has been taking lots of my creative capacity in the past week or so but it’s great to take a break to do other creative things! Been sharing some progress at my Instagram Stories as usual (:
- Bizarre Modern Reality of Sonic the Hedgehog
- I watched the final boss fight of Final Fantasy VII remake and what a fan-fiction ride!!! I haven’t even watched a playthrough yet :0 I hope so eventually
- Guide to all the AC Nook Mile islands
- Advanced AC flower hybrid genetics work in progress???
- What Voice Acting in Anime is Like – Joe Zieja (Claude voice actor from Fire Emblem)
- Understanding Autism the Human Side – move away from medical model
- gosh I relate to this so much!
- and struggling to write essays under a time limit :’)
- how trying to fit in, during the process of performing the “normal” persona, the actual person gets destroyed.
- Success with Autism – burning out at the right time!
- this makes more sense to me – now I need to know when to time my burnouts :’)
- Watched the 2011, 25th anniversary production of The Phantom of the Opera Musical when it was available on youtube!
- the perfect production!! Loved it!!! <3
- Ramin (the Phantom), Sierra (Christine), Hadley (Raoul), the rest of the cast, the orchestra, stage production & everyone are incredible, passionate, emotional and wonderful! Even Carlotta is great here! Watched clips of Ramin & Sierra before so it was lovely to see their chemistry together (as well as Raoul).
- a blessing to finally see a proper recording of this musical and I enjoy the sad, melancolic, romantic, heart aching music, acting and performances 😀
- it’s interesting that they took out the even more creepy, dark bit when the Phantom had a replica of Christine & future wedding dress at his abode eep :’)
- had to watch some of my favourite musical bits again too!
- Sierra Boggess in a Surprise Quintet for the 25th anniversary with the other Phantoms including Ramin Karimloo
Is this shorter than usual? I don’t know but I’d rather not write if there’s nothing more I want to say ;D

Sounds like you had a pretty fun week! Nice~
Been doing a ton of terraforming and plant breeding myself so those links are greatly appreciated. I had no idea they modeled proper genetics for the flowers and have just been going off of a flower chart….explains why I’m not getting certain flowers.
Also caught Phantom of the Opera. It’s such a fantastic rendition of a classic musical!
Lots of grumpy sleepy times too haha
I can’t get all the flower colours I want yet either so it’s a lot of trial and error? :S
It’s remarkable indeed!! 😀
I’ve got a bunch of Pink/Chocolate Lilies if you want any of those.Currently working on Windflowers and Tulips since those are the three my island can get.
I can totally relate about sleep. @_@
Gah I need more sleep :’)
Oh I have three bundles of pink lilies & one black plant of lilies and that’s all I managed.
I have pansies, mums also from my island and I got windflowers from elsewhere that I’m trying to get more colours with.
I don’t have hyacinths, roses or tulips but during different seasons, they restock with different seeds? :0
Have Hyacinth seeds but no idea where they came from. Any kinds of Hyacinth/Tulips you’re looking for?
Hm I don’t have those at all so even the basic ones would be great haha
Lesse. I can bring over Red, Yellow, and White hyacinth seeds. Yellow Tulip Seeds, and a few Red and Orange Tulips. Can also grab a handful of black lilies if you’d like more. Those took forever to grow.
Oooh. Do you need anything with pansies & mums? There’s no rush as I don’t have room to breed more flowers at the moment :’)
Also to trade we have to figure out visits first as you can only trade/mail with people who have traveled to the other’s island :0
I do need Purple and Green mums for my little personal garden. So any Reds and Yellows would be amazing.
Oh yeah. I still haven’t done any multiplayer things so I forgot about that. haha
I’m available at pretty much any time. So whenever you’re in the mood or not too busy would be good.
I’ll probably visit your island? I don’t know – let you know whenever I’m able then, over discord 😀
Sounds good! 😀
