MY FIRST BIG ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DAY - BOB IS BACK!!!
aaa firstly i just wanna say a big thank you to @Anj2k6 for kindly re-cycling bob for me even though things went wrong the first time ;u; (i would absolutely recommend her to anyone) he is safely home now and i can't wait to play with him tomorrow hehe i'm just going to pretend he had a severe case of retrograde amnesia and accidentally left honeydew but now he's been brought back home.. LOL

pthhpth IM iN TEARS
​

audie was sick yesterday! first time i've seen a sick villager so i brought medicine for her. kinda took me back to running errands in ACNL which i really miss actually.. hehe

poor thing but she looked so cute in her jammies i had to gif it
​

yesterday zucker, bunnie and i spent time sitting together (once again, NOT on my benches lol).. and then the next day was bunnie's birthday so i got her a baby bear which i hope she likes~

bunnie.. can we... eat the cake yet..?​

it looked like audie convinced ava to exercise with her today! except, ava clearly gave up and just decided to sing instead, whilst audie continued on her 100th rep LOL clearly out of the two, i decided to sing along with ava

​

bit of a long entry but i hope you guys enjoyed my villagers shenanigans! haha

yoUR AESTHETIC IS GODLY (mainly bc... nct)

title: zucker's coffee shop AU
date: somewhere in an alternative universe
starring:
- zucker as head chef
- bunnie & christine as waitresses
- beau & bob, tammy & ava, audie as customers

"hello, may we take your order?"

"chef.. head chef..?"
"OH MY GOSH HES ASLEEP!"
"the pizza is burnt!! BUNNIE?? BUNNIE? HELP MeeEeEee"

extra cuts of zucker's coffee shop au

the starring lead

Spoiler: credits roll

so harvey's island was introduced very early in the game but i never touched it because i didn't really understand how to use it? however today i had a go and.. I FELL IN LOVE. these diary entries will take place in an "alternate universe" and will be bit different to my others, kinda just more for fun

in actuality though, a coffee shop is very much something i intend to make on honeydew! i don't just mean an outdoor area, but rather i'm intending to make an entire secondary character and have an completed "house" built for the cafe. however, this will likely be something i do very very late in the game to keep me going for a long time ;; for now i'll have harvey island to live out my fantasy...

vivian visited honeydew's campsite yesterday~ originally, i was thinking of freya as my snooty wolf but i saw vivian and was surprised by how much i actually loved her character design? she looks EXACTLY like how i imagine a snooty would be!! even though i love freyas house design a lot more than vivians, i decided to move her in since i dislike NMT trading & TT-ing for campsite method. perhaps i'll invite freya in the future, but for now i'm really excited to finally have my first snooty!

​

as honeydew welcomes vivian, we're also saying goodbye to henry.. he was never meant to move in after being bob's glitch replacement but i'm surprised by how much i ended up loving him ;; henry always sang everywhere and had the most derpy o: face that i always giggled when i saw. unfortunately tex won my heart over first with his chonky body & our shared music tastes, but i only have room for 1 smug so... ): here's a goodbye party photo i held henry at my place as a final memory with him...

Spoiler: henry's highlights at honeydew

his most iconic moment

i think he enjoyed his front yard reno ;u;

thank you for always filling honeydew with music <3

finally, one last story of the week!

i had redd visit me this week and he was selling a fake gallant statue - it was so close to what i wanted but not the one i was looking for, so i just bought a painting instead. the next day i woke up and i see i've received a letter from bill - it was actually really sweet and made me smile in real life. only for me to go open it and see bill had gifted me.. a VALIANT STATUE?!?!?!/ i put in on the ground to immediately check.. AND IT WAS REAL??? bill are you saying you hoisted up an ENTIRE marble statue that you found in the junkyard just to give to me??? omg i was so touched and excited slkfdls not even going to give it to blathers because it's too precious to me <3

sorry bill i will never underestimate your lil muscles again..

​

i haven't updated too often this week but i've been working on some mini projects which hopefully i can post about before the end of this weekend hehe ;u;

 

[AshdewCrossing]

Ahhh goodbye Henry, you were a good frog :') and welcome Vivian!!
Haha I can't get the mental image of a tiny duck hoisting a 3 metre tall marble statue out of the junkyard and asking the dodos to ship it to you out of my head. Congrats on getting the real art though, it's like Bill was looking out for you

 

[meggtheegg]

that final memory with henry so cute and bittersweet

today I finally finished decorating my new greenhouse/shed! i was inspired by the many greenhouses i saw floating around. it was meant to be finished last sunday but for the life of me I couldn't find an iron shelf until today LOL originally it was meant to be more like a greenhouse, but the lack of brown potted plants COUGH meant that it ended up looking more like a toolshed. which is kinda fine since I'm probably gonna remove that crafting area I made a while back (it's not my favourite tbh) but i really like how it looks in the background of my flower patches. it's gonna lead onto the orchard, which is still a WIP

any honey yet?

​

the end of autumn is also near.. which meant I changed my outfit to a longer dress to accomodate for the cold (im feeling it irl too haha) i'm getting HEAPS of complements about it for some reason, bob even gave me slippers which he said he thought would go with my dress! it was yellow so it definitely did not but ill wear it at home anyways i promise <3 LOL

​

i think vivian is settling in nicely into honeydew - it looks like she kinda forgot who i was but that's alright LOL also her house suits the beach front better than i thought it would which I'm glad, but i still think henry's house looked best with it though :')

her first song debut !

​

the museum event also happened! a lot of people were disappointed by it but i actually liked it! i think it's a cultural thing in japan to collect stamps across museums, and i actually collected heaps during my trip to japan 2 years (even temples and train stations had them) this event totally reminded me of that memory I had completely forgotten so it was nice and nostalgic ;u; i also was able to get really cute pics with my villagers thanks to this event~

​

there were also so many cute antics from my villagers this week. it'd make this post too long so I put them under a spoiler :3

Spoiler: i love my villagers

bob decide to plop down for beau's impromptu performance

UWU

feelin like romeo trying to sing to juliet up there

honestly this gives off major "you can't sit with us" energy

<3

all the trees in honeydew has turned red! i love the way it looks but am also dreading it as it reminds me of how fast winter is arriving ): everything turning white is not quite what i'm used to (especially as an australian who has never sees snow LOL)

i don't think i've ever shown what my orchard looks like but welp yep... it needs a bit more decorating for sure but since my whole top left side of town is still undecided i might leave this for later

​

today weirdly enough, all my villagers were in the mood to sing. at the start of the day bunnie, tammy and zucker held a little concert which i watched happily but had to end shortly due to online trading ;; i come back though and literally watch as beau starts sings... tex comes to join.. then zucker watches them both for a bit.. before joining as well!! lmao the honeydew boys choir has formed! they performed for over 2 hours with guests like ava enjoying and bill (who may have fallen asleep at one point)

concert 1

concert 2: the honeydew boys choir + bill sleeping
​

in terms of town updates, i am finally starting the excruciating and painful week-long process of moving all my villager homes because i misplaced them all one block back LOL but i was getting frustrated with how ugly my "city" area was looking so it was time to finally get around to it. decorating may be a very slow process though ): for now i fixed up my town entrance - i mean the acorn entrance doesn't match the flower aesthetic so well but i like the item so i'm just gonna keep it there lolol

[just a small update]
hi everyone! (if anybody is still around) i disappeared after may due to university exams and then eventually stopped playing for another month or so... i think a big part of me losing interest was purely because i h a t e winter and how it makes my island look, so i lost interest in decorating (which is pretty much the only thing to do in southern hemisphere rn given lack of bugs/fish)

i am coming back to ACNH slowly since the dream suite update has motivated me to get my busted up island fixed up, however i'm not sure how to update this journal since i don't want to post any photos of my town when its icy white :c i'll think about out what to do.

@to my fellow island journallers, i went back and noticed everybody simultaneously stopped posting around late may/early june?? i've always wanted to visit your towns when the dream suite update returned.. so if anyones still active here please shoot me a dream address and hello.. hope you are all well!!

updates from where i left off in may will resume below~
