Ankha from Animal Crossing!

Dedicated to Perky for his suggestion! Thank you so much for the generous support as a patron, for being a wonderful reader who often is the only one who leaves thoughtful comments on my blog and the kind, fun Animal Crossing times (his island is progressing great)!

I hope he gets Ankha one day for his island! 😀

Gosh I enjoy visiting & getting inspired by other people’s islands & their progress! And then we can give and send stuff and/or mail to each other haha ✨

Early stages! I had to tackle it many times :’)

I don’t have any emotional attachment to Ankha but she was tricky to draw! :0

Personal Update Time!

• Deadly Premonition 2 release date trailer! Something I would definitely watch for the weirdness!! 😀
• Animal Crossing 5PM Yung Bae Remix
• How to get all rocks in Animal Crossing at the same spot
  • no island visits, gardening or terraforming anymore for a while as my island is full of mannequins! Attempting to spawn the rocks for 4 or so more days. Plus I had one rock spawn where I didn’t want it to :’)
• More Animal Crossing Gardening/Flower guides [layout guide]
  • gah so much to do and blue roses are especially daunting!!
  • I just want to get more colours but it’s so time consuming and I don’t know if I’m doing it right :<
  • since I’m not a time traveler, I’ll have to do things over and do layouts properly after I terraform and get rocks back again :’)
• Finally got around to watching a playthrough of Final Fantasy VII Remake! Note I haven’t played this or the original at all and I watched the playthrough of the original too long ago to remember most things. I’m not done and only just started the first several hours into it but spoiler talk if you’re afraid of that:
  • they fleshed out the world, Midgar, people and the music is wonderful. The character models look great, lip-syncing is not fully there though.
  • Barrett is cheesy cool/angry, I like Tifa and Marlene and the landlady
  • Jessie is pretty much lusting for Cloud and just goes for it. They fleshed out her backstory much, much more (I guess she’s a romantic player and actress?) And that peck on the cheek for passing the motorcycle test? Lots of hugging and lack of personal space with Cloud? And “full reward”????
  • In fact everyone seems hot for Cloud. Lots of Jessie, Tifa, Roche, Aerith flirting/crushing all over Cloud for that harem. Goodness lots of them act super anime, lots of over the top cutesy/flirty posing and they don’t talk like normal people (who says “sike/psych” that much??) It’s the “choose your girlfriend/boyfriend/partner!!” thing :’)
  • they know how to emotionally manipulate you with making characters endearing, sexual & attractive, making things fanservice-y and full of sexual tension, first person camera moments (so you’re the one getting seduced) & camera angles and giving you nostalgic music way too early on without it being it being earned. I’m just here for romantic moments and how they’ve changed and fleshed out the lore & story haha.
  • Avalanche is made to seem more goody here than in the original (at least with Barrett’s division)
  • I still don’t like Cloud as a character – he’s an edgy, rude jerk so far. And often he says no to things and then right after he gives up and says yes ;P He does cut through all the fluff at times and gets to the point (and making money) though.
  • that motorcycle bit with that speed demon guy Roche??? Apparently he’s a cut out character from the expanded lore added back in.
  • not a fan of the “Wedge is big, so he eats a lot and needs more food to keep going” kind of jokes but I do like his goofy character
  • game gets so horny, cheesy, homoerotic, silly and goofy and reminds me of Kingdom Hearts at places pffffft
  • the story is changed somewhat and there’s time ghosts/gas/dementors??? Swarms of them??? This is definitely not a remake but a re-imagining of the game and story altogether.
  • fun and entertaining to watch the sillyness; the side quests feels less interesting and repetitive though
• Interesting that my auto Facebook page has more people following?! What did I do? I didn’t talk about it much?? :0
  • Or maybe it’s just that more people are online on Facebook? I don’t know, I don’t use that platform while I lose followers elsewhere :’)
  • Gah! I shouldn’t care too much about silly follow numbers (can’t help it sometimes as it’s the nature of social media)! I’m just happy I have a few people who still read my blog <3
  • Hello if you’re keeping tabs on my blog over there!
• Played some Super Mario Maker 2 with a buddy 😀
• Played lots of Animal Crossing of course and grinding the slow way for money with hot items ;___;
  • I think I’m sucked into the cult and time sink known as Animal Crossing haha. I’m burnt out from doing Nook Mile islands now :<
• Special Performance of Cowboy Bebop’s “The Real Folk Blues”, proceeds from this track goes to CDC Foundation & Doctors with Borders
  • featuring Yoko Kanno, The Seatbelts/original band, original cast members listed in the Youtube description
• “I’ll Take Lonely Tonight” by Tim Minchin
• “Rainbow Connection” performance by Kermit the Frog late last month

Anyhoo thanks and may you have a wonderful day and week ahead! (:
