I had this avatar, made by the incredibly talented @/Silh, for the longest time back in 2020! I’ve been feeling incredibly nostalgic this past year, mostly about stuff from my personal life, but I’ve lowkey been missing my old aesthetics. My lineups were always a mess since I didn’t have many collectibles to work with xnsjc, but my avatars and sigs always made me happy. :’)
In honour of me turning 22 in less than a week, I decided to bring this avatar back, at least for a while. I don’t resonate with my burning Elmo-clad island rep as much as I used to, but I still love her, and I still adore this piece of art as well as all of the other artworks I received/commissioned of her.
It reminds me of who I was when New Horizons was still relatively new, the world was in shambles (in a different way than usual), and my personal life was still mostly familiar. I know this art isn’t
me, but using it again is honestly giving me a kind of peace that none of my recent aesthetics did. It’s kind of bittersweet.
I also wanted to include elements that reflect who I currently am in this aesthetic, so I’m donning the adorable art of Bonk that I commissioned from @/olliebugge in my sig, and I have one of my many glowy lineups to represent the chokehold that shiny, night sky collectibles have me in now xnsjxndhcb
I’m rambling so I’ll shut up LOL, but I’m happy with this little combo of past and present me
