Day 11 in Bliss:
*Bridge is now built!!!
*Got suggested the Geyser! Pretty cool
*Stitches had me fetch Pecan. Pecan wanted me to give Stitches a delivery.
*Pretty sure Pecan and Stiches are buddies.
And I'm 100% sure Goldie and Merengue are bffs.
Let me head cannon my villagers.
*Had Deirdre over to my place
*No cookie because Nooks is closed
*Kicks being built (still I feel like yesterday it was being built too could be wrong)
*Worked on path laying, redesigned paths. Again. Right now it's of natural looking rocks.
*Island was meh played the official garden tour

Overall a good day!
-I've decided nobody moves till I get their picture.
(Mostly because I am lazy and high friendship makes getting pwps easier. )
-I've also decided I might build pwps by were they are suggested if I chose to build any. I saw it as a acnl nuzzlocke challenge and thought it was pretty neat. I'm not 100% on it but I might.
-Not building my house past second expansion (were it is now. I want my home to be the size of the villagers.)
-May build a second character. Not sure.

Ahh~ Guys~ I was feeling a bit down today, and my bf put on the animal crossing movie fan dub!! It's sorta my guilty pleasure but it makes me so happy! I just wanted to share!

[Cai-crossing]

Weh~ I'm getting nervous about the villager picture challenge! We're almost half way through the month and none of my villagers have asked for signatures or anything big-- Most difficult request I've gotten was to bring Curly an Oarfish. :< Here's to hoping! All my villagers are giving me random shirts and stuff though.

General question (will post this in the appropriate forum if I have the energy xD): when you talk to villagers too much (like when they start getting passive-aggressive and eventually tell you to go away because they need to think) does it actually lower friendship, or is it just a mechanic to get the player to stop talking to a specific villager / to limit the friend points you can get through talking?

1/12 so far:

- Dream suite is built
- T & T Mart under construction
- Unlocked illuminated arch pwp through Freya
- Placed and begun paying for police station (I went for the new one this time for some reason... I always go for the old one. Maybe I'll make this one a suburb or cafe' town eventually? I'm still not sure what I'm doing with this town!)
- Worked on re-laying paths. I created alternate color stones this week. Right now my paths are a light blue stone with little cinnamoroll-themed welcome mats in-front of houses. Not sure if I like them or not. I'm SERIOUSLY rusty with pixel art! xD At least the stones look nice ^^;
- Watered flowers
- dug up and donated fossils
- Summoned Etoile (little twin star sheep) to the RV camp, ordered 3 items c: (PM or VM me if you'd like to visit the camp site! C: )
- Had a very lovely visit with Alyssa of Dewdrop!
- Unlocked QR machine!!!

QR codes so far:

Spoiler

Let me know if you want the clothing QR codes ^0^/

Also I think I might make my final villager line-up: Merengue, Tia, Etoile, Chai, Francine, Ursala, Wolfgang, Bam, Moe, and Julian. But I'm honestly not sure! ; A ; I love everyone rn, so I'll just keep working on laying everything out and see how it goes!
