*Note: I may add more and/or edit this post later, along with updating the image I put together above or changing it entirely.
Welcome to my second islandā€™s journal! Iā€™m hoping to keep track of my progress decorating this island in my journal, and post my designs and other projects in it as well. My goal is to decorate this island like some locations in Persona 5 Royal. On my main island, I did some HHP designs based on Persona 5, but I never considered designing my island entirely on the game until I came across this dream address.

About my Island: I picked southern hemisphere since my other island is in the northern hemisphere and I wanted to have an island that was experiencing a different season.

About the Island Rep: Instead of naming my rep after my username/gaming name or Persona 5ā€™s protagonistā€™s manga or anime name, I went with one of the names I sometimes pick for him. Morgana called him Frizzy Hair a few times in the beginning, so I always thought it was funny to have his name be just that.

Ideas and Plans
I donā€™t really have any clear ideas yet; I know I want my island look as good as the dream address that I found, but have my own touch to it. I was considering making everything in Mementoā€™s (as in the area Persona 5) colors (red and black) and designing some areas like the palaces, but seeing how much room the castle set took up in my Unreal Estate entry, I think this idea probably wouldnā€™t work well. I might consider a looser interpretation of the locations in the game too. One thing Iā€™d like to have room to add some places that Akechi hung out with Joker at like Penguin Sniper and Jazz Jin. Also, Iā€™d like something to represent Maruki and/or his palace; Iā€™m considering making him eventually as another resident on my island.

Rules
When I first started thinking about having a second island, I thought it might be fun to try to set some rules for myself to play this island a little differently from how I play my main island. Here are my ideas right now (in no particular order):

  • No or little time traveling after the tutorial. If TTing is allowed, allow only a day forward or back at a time).​
    • Itā€™s okay to TT a few hours backward if I didnā€™t get time to play until night (since I want to have some daytime screenshots and not just at night).​
  • No donations of bells from my main island.​
  • No trading for portraits; all portraits owned have to be earned. I can give extra pictures that Iā€™ve earned to my main island though.​
  • No trading for flowers.​
  • No using amiibo cards to invite villagers except Sanrio villagers.​
  • Limit how many NMTs I use each time I go island hopping for a villager. Maybe limit it to 10 tickets max?​

Letā€™s Skip This Tutorial
I was initially not going to take any tutorial screenshots since everyone knows the tutorial by now and the dialogue scenes with Tom Nook, but since I know that Iā€™ll regret not taking any to show the beginning stages of this island and also the tutorial gives some good screenshot opportunities, Iā€™ve decided that I will to post some that I take throughout the tutorial.

*Note: I havenā€™t been able to play at all with the Halloween event going on, so, except for day 1, when I write day 2+, it will refer not to how many days since I created my island, but instead, the days of playing, at least until I think of a better way to organize these posts.

Day 1: Welcome to Your New Island!
October 24
IMG_9101.jpeg

After a couple days of resetting, I finally was satisfied with at least one of my starters. I was hoping to get Frobert again as a starter since I had him on the island on my old switch lite, but I was just as happy about meeting Drift since he is another frog that Iā€™ve been interested in for a long time. I was not happy about Cherry though; I donā€™t care much for her design.

IMG_9163.jpeg

IMG_9162.jpeg

This line here always makes me pause because his idea of comfort and safety does not apparently match my idea or rather, FrizzyHairā€™s idea.

IMG_9165.jpeg

But the game sure makes it look like our character is happy about the tent in the end lol.

IMG_9166.jpeg

When I talked to her, I felt like I could grow to like her more. Her catchphrase thoughā€¦I need to change it because I hate it lol.

IMG_9167.jpeg

Driftā€™s catchphrase on the other hand is really cute.

IMG_9164.jpeg

I wonder what heā€™d do if he got all lazy villagers and no human for his deserted island package. Shifty raccoonā€¦

IMG_9178.jpeg

Since Iā€™ll be designing areas based on various locations in P5R, I picked Mementos for its name rather than naming it Yongen-jaya (a residential district in the game where the protagonist lives for the duration of the game) or Shibuya.

Days 2 & 3: Ultra Broke Island Life - Let the Grind for Bells Begin!

October 27
IMG_9332.jpeg

IMG_9333.jpeg

Itā€™s time for us both to get to the grind, Drift since Mom forgot to remind me to bring some Bells or what Bells even are since the dialogue choices that I got when talking to Tom seemed to imply that I didnā€™t know what Bells were šŸ˜….

IMG_9335.jpeg

It was raining so I was able to catch plenty of snails. I donated one to Tom, to give to Blathers and the rest I sold.

I talked to Cherry once before I resumed the Nook Mile grind.
IMG_9337.jpeg

IMG_9338.jpeg

Thanks, Cherry! How about changing that catchphrase of yours? šŸ˜…

IMG_9339.jpeg

I did some evening fishing and was able to donate the last samples that Tom needed for Blathers.

IMG_9341.jpeg

IMG_9342.jpeg

I picked a random spot for Blathersā€™ tent for now; Iā€™ll move it later when I flatten the island.

On my way to Tomā€™s tent, after getting the last Nook Miles that I needed by chopping wood, I encountered my first tarantula. It caught me completely by surprise; I didnā€™t see it at all.

IMG_9344.jpeg
IMG_9345.jpeg

I was hoping to find the tarantula on my way back to the tent again so I could catch it, but it was gone.

IMG_9347.jpeg

IMG_9349.jpeg

After paying off the Nook Miles, I asked for the upgrade into a house since I wanted to have storage space as soon as possible.

October 28
IMG_9351.jpeg

Originally I was thinking of not worrying about completing the museum for my second island since I still have to complete it on my main island, but I think Iā€™ll give it more thought as I continue playing.

IMG_9353.jpeg
I got my tent upgraded to a house. Iā€™m really happy that I got some storage space now. Iā€™m hoping to get this loan paid off soon so I can have a bit more. The tree in front of my house is bothering me a little but I donā€™t have the diys for the standard tools. Iā€™m probably just going to leave it there since Iā€™ll be moving my house eventually anyways.

I was asked to gather materials for the shop on this day, so I spent most of the time that I played gathering materials.

IMG_9354.jpeg

Hi Drift! :D Drift is so adorable running up to me beaming like this ā˜ŗļø.

IMG_9355.jpeg

IMG_9356.jpeg

Thanks for the iron nuggets! :D After Drift gave me the nuggets, I chopped wood until I got a stack of each type.

IMG_9361.jpeg

IMG_9362.jpeg

All I need now are the remaining iron nuggets.

IMG_9366.jpeg

I went fishing for a little bit and I found a visitor on the beach.

IMG_9367.jpeg

Hi Gulliver! Iā€™m FrizzyHair.

IMG_9368.jpeg

You just said I had a big head, so, I donā€™t knowā€¦ šŸ¤”

I was actually considering not talking to him since this week and last week I kept trying to get his furniture on my main island. Iā€™d be lying if I said I wasnā€™t sick of digging up his communicator parts or diving for it lol.

IMG_9371.jpeg

I decided to help him and pretend to forget his comment about the size of my head.

IMG_9372.jpeg

Iā€™m hoping that he gives me a piece of furniture and not clothing since both he and Gullivarr have been giving me mostly clothing on my main island.

Day 4: A Pact is Made

October 30

The first thing that I did when I got into the game was check my mail. Gulliver sent me a hat. I must be cursed to get anything but furniture from him lol.
IMG_9506.jpeg

In todayā€™s announcement, Tom mentioned that the Nooklings were selling candy.

IMG_9503.jpeg

Where is the candy? šŸ¤Ø

Not much happened today. I hit rocks for more iron nuggets; Iā€™m short by about four, I think. Iā€™ll wait until tomorrow to get them.

IMG_9498.jpeg

I decided to pay Drift a visit in his upgraded house.

IMG_9502.jpeg

Note to self to bring a cushion to sit on next time (if we could use them inside villagersā€™ homes that is) lol. I wish that as you progress through the game, that their house interior changed with it (naturally I mean and not through HHP or gifting them items).

IMG_9501.jpeg

I love how proud he looks; so cute ā˜ŗļø.

IMG_9500.jpeg

I wonder if there is a story behind that šŸ˜…. I never heard of anyone ripping a hole in their home while doing jumping jacks lol, Animal Crossing or not.

IMG_9499.jpeg

I stopped by Cherryā€™s house too and paid her a visit.

IMG_9507.jpeg

Hi Cherry! That catchphrase really needs to go.

IMG_9508.jpeg

The wallpaper doesnā€™t go with her aesthetic at all. I didnā€™t tell her that of course šŸ˜…. If I decide to keep her or maybe even if I donā€™t plan on keeping her, Iā€™ll definitely have to redesign her home (and Driftā€™s too) though Iā€™ll have to use my main island to brainstorm ideas and then send the items that Iā€™ll need for my catalogue.

I had my main islandā€™s rep come over and drop over some items and thus, a pact has been made since Iā€™ll be dropping off items and picking up extra materials or other things for myself from time-to-time that I may need or for my tbt store.
IMG_9517.jpeg

I like coming up with funny outfits for my main islandā€™s rep lol.

80154272-0B04-44EC-829D-435987B4870E.jpeg

I think the Hermit tarot represents me the best of all the major arcana, at least from what I read and understand (Iā€™m not knowledgable about tarot cards at all, though I do have a book that I have a read a bit from), which is why I chose it over the other arcanas. You can read up on the major arcanasā€™ meanings here.

In Persona 5, each arcana was ā€œrepresentedā€ by only one character. For the purpose of my journal only, Iā€™ll kinda have two confidants of the hermit arcana since I have plans of having villagers represent some of the confidants, mostly the members of the Phantom Thieves. Then again, my other island rep doesnā€™t live on this island so technically Iā€™ll only have one.

I updated my passport photo after the visit. FrizzyHair now has frizzy hair :D lol.
IMG_9497.jpeg

Iā€™ll redo this again as I get more filters and unlock more things.

IMG_9515.jpeg

After my main island rep left, I joined Drift on the bench by Tomā€™s tent. I had turned off the game for a bit after the visit and when I came back in the game, both Drift and Cherry had left their houses and were outside. Thanks for the cute photo, Drift :D.

IMG_9516.jpeg

I donated a few things to Blathers including two butterflies. Blathers is so cute ā˜ŗļø; I have a phobia of bugs so he definitely has my sympathy šŸ˜…. I just need to donate one more thing and then his tent will be upgraded to a building.

Day 5: Happy Halloween!

October 31

The first thing that I did today was hit rocks to get the remaining iron nuggets that I needed for the shop.
IMG_9535.jpeg

Yes I know, Timmy since I was the one that donated everything. Cherry seemed to call it a day after giving me the shovel lol. I want to believe that Drift was working hard to help me this whole time since I admit I am bias and like Drift much much more than Cherry lol.

IMG_9536.jpeg

IMG_9538.jpeg

I picked a random spot for the shop since Iā€™ll be flattening the island and will be moving it, probably multiple times. Atm, I have no idea where Iā€™d want it to go.

I was impatient to start island hopping, so I TTed a day forward get Nookā€™s Cranny built and then back.

IMG_9544.jpeg

I picked a random spot for the bridge as well since Iā€™m going to flatten my island and will need to destroy it eventually (also change the type of bridge).

IMG_9539.jpeg
IMG_9540.jpeg
IMG_9541.jpeg

Hmmā€¦Itā€™s funny you say this now Tom, since you see, I never liked the idea of sleeping in a tent either. šŸ˜’

After this dialogue, I picked a random spot for all the plots and then went island hopping.

IMG_9586.jpeg

I crafted the furniture that I needed for the plots and placed the ones needed for the exterior. Iā€™m really happy that this part of the tutorial is done. While I always enjoyed searching for villagers, I never liked this part I think because I donā€™t want to craft any of the furniture or use them. I did realize that I can get rid of the furniture after the plot filled; itā€™s funny that I never tried to when I was at this point on my main island šŸ˜….

IMG_9588.jpeg

I already forgot what I donated here; I think it might have been a tiger beetle. I kinda wanted to keep Blathers in a tent for a bit longer (for no real reason), but I ended up donating something anyways.

I chatted a little with Drift. I also gifted him some wrapped coconuts; he gave me a fishing vest (red) in return.
IMG_9590.jpeg

I had a house for three days, Drift šŸ˜….

At 5 PM, the Halloween event began.
IMG_9592.jpeg

This event was really tough to do with only two villagers šŸ˜…. I eventually did it on my main island, though I kept having communication problems.

Drift was really adorable dressed up in his costume ā˜ŗļø. I thought the dialogue was kinda funny when he taught me a reaction.

IMG_9610.jpeg

IMG_9611.jpeg

I know, Drift šŸ˜…. Good try though lol.

IMG_9620.jpeg

IMG_9621.jpeg

Erm, thanks?

IMG_9629.jpeg

Trick or treat!

IMG_9630.jpeg


At Skyhold
IMG_9534.jpeg

I had my main islandā€™s rep take this picture since FrizzyHair doesnā€™t have a lot of camera options right now. Skyholdā€™s rep is the one wearing the cat paw shoes.

IMG_9646.jpeg

I love Rudyā€™s expressions so much still ā˜ŗļø. He looks so adorable in his costume.
IMG_9647.jpeg

Itā€™s a bit too late, Rudy šŸ˜…. You have been tricked lol.

IMG_9648.jpeg

IMG_9649.jpeg

IMG_9650.jpeg

IMG_9651.jpeg

IMG_9652.jpeg

IMG_9653.jpeg
I feel like this is the first time that I saw the cranky dialogue when tricking them; it shouldnā€™t be since I had Roscoe on my island for some time before I let him move out šŸ¤”.

IMG_9654.jpeg

I didnā€™t realize how small Jack was compared to my island reps, or if I did, I forgot.

IMG_9655.jpeg

Punchy also has the cutest expressions too ā˜ŗļø.
IMG_9656.jpeg

Hi Punchy! :3

IMG_9657.jpeg

I had no idea we could get multiple robes and Jack masks šŸ˜…. I got more on another character on my main island too. I was thinking while doing my Unreal Estate entry for TBTā€™s Halloween Event, that itā€™d be nice to have more of the masks, but now I got more than I know what to do with šŸ˜….

Wanted: Phantom Thieves & Allies

33A8E894-7179-488F-9B37-31902ADA8590.jpeg

*Note: I may update or change both of the pictures here.

I put this together as a way to try to plan out the villagers that I have on my islandā€”temporary and permanent. Iā€™m not sure what villagers yet to put for the Judgment, Hierophant arcana and Moon; for the Consultant, Iā€™m considering making Maruki as a resident and also maybe Iwai, though Iā€™ve put a couple villagers for the Hanged Man arcana that I thought could represent him in the event I go for a temporary representation of him.

Vesta represents no particular arcana though she could represent maybe The World. I picked her because her face makes me think of shadows in the game and I think sheā€™d fit well with the theme. I was thinking that Frita could represent the Big Bang Burger mascot; she would not represent any arcana either.

Iā€™m in no hurry to get the villagers in the first image. Ideally, Iā€™d want them when Iā€™m closer to finishing my island since I want to cycle through villagers. The villagers in the first two rows have a higher priority since theyā€™ll be representing the characters that were either in the Phantom Thieves or working directly alongside them at some point in the game.
55C767D7-325B-4BB9-AC6C-569020344CC9.jpeg

This is something to help me when I go villager hunting, though I may not stick to this list. I just wanted to try to organize what Iā€™m considering into some sort of visual that I can look back at later. This list does not reflect how Iā€™d rank them on a regular tier list. Some of the villagers, Iā€™d normally not be interested in but Iā€™ve become more interested in trying out for this island at the very least.

Island Hopping

FrizzyHairā€™s First Island Hopping Adventure: 10/31/24
For this island hopping session, I limited myself to ten Nook Mile tickets; I ended up using nine tickets (not counting the free one that Tom gave me) while looking for a villager for the three plots that I had placed. I was hoping to find a villager that I was interested in (see second image in the previous post), but not one that I was considering having permanently.

Villager 1

1. Al - skip for now.
IMG_9549.jpeg

Normally, he would be an easy skip, but since he is one of the villagers that Iā€™m considering to represent Ryuji and the Chariot arcana, I want to give him a chance, but maybe not yet in case he ends up going well with my ideas since I want to cycle through as many villagers as possible until I reach a certain point while decorating my island. The reason that Iā€™m considering any of the gorillas to represent him is pretty silly.

IMG_9792.jpeg

The mini boss is referring to Ryuji as ā€œthat ape.ā€

2. Lucy - not interested.
IMG_9551.jpeg

I think she was one of my starters on my main island and I was not happy about it. Iā€™m not interested in any pig villager except for Agnes. I do think that if I gave her a chance, that she could grow on me. I donā€™t think her design is bad. Right now, Iā€™m not interested in having her again.

3. Candi - no.
IMG_9552.jpeg

I think Candi is my second least favorite mouse. I have no interest in any of the mice except for maybe Broccolo.

4. Benedict - invited!
IMG_9553.jpeg

I used to not like any of the chicken villagers but slowly, Iā€™ve become interested in four of them: Ken, Goose, Knox and Benedict. After meeting Benedict on the island and talking to him, I had some doubts but I invited him anyways.
IMG_9554.jpeg

IMG_9555.jpeg
IMG_9556.jpeg

IMG_9558.jpeg

IMG_9559.jpeg

The dialogue for some reason, seemed kinda weird and his facial expressions bothered me a little too. I think Iā€™ll probably like him; maybe Iā€™m just overthinking or it was just part of being tired that I felt this way.

Villager 2
1. Maddie - skip.
IMG_9560.jpeg

She seems kinda cute but Iā€™m not interested in here at the moment. While there are a few dog villagers that Iā€™m interested in, Iā€™m kinda neutral about them overall. Iā€™m not sure why theyā€™ve never gave me a strong impression. I like them a bit more than the wolves, whom I neither like or dislike.

2. Patty - not interested.
IMG_9561.jpeg

I have no interest in her or any of the cow or bull villagers, so this was an easy skip for me.

3. Sprinkle - already had her as one of my starters on my main island; skip for now.
IMG_9562.jpeg

I love Sprinkle though I admit that I did not enjoy her much when I had her since I had another peppy and got sick of their dialogue super quick šŸ˜…. I used to love peppy dialogue in New Leaf (I loved all the dialogue much better), but in New Horizons, I feel like they are annoying.

I said skip for now since she is one villager that Iā€™m considering as an option to represent Yoshizawa and the Faith arcana. Sprinkle would represent her persona more (because of her colors) than Yoshizawa herself. Iā€™m leaning more towards having Poppy or Pecan, if I decide to have a villager represent Yoshizawa.

4. Candi - absolutely not.
IMG_9563.jpeg


5. Flora - invited!
IMG_9564.jpeg

She has a cute design, but I honestly wasnā€™t interested in having her, at least not now. I invited her since I didnā€™t want to have a random move in for now and since I spent some tickets, might as well pick someone.

Villager 3

1. Lily - invited!
IMG_9571.jpeg

I wasnā€™t going to invite any villagers that I already had on my main island (aside from the ones that Iā€™m considering to be on this island permanently, but I missed having Lily so I couldnā€™t pass her up. She is one of my favorite frogs. When I first invited her on my main island, I thought she was cute but didnā€™t think Iā€™d get as attached to her as I did since she was going to be just a temporary villager. I did let her leave, but it was a tough decision since I really loved having her.

Concluding thoughts:

I was honestly not very satisfied with my island hopping finds; I was hoping to find some of villagers that I had on the island that I deleted before making this one, particularly Frobert, or ones that I was more interested in. Since I was looking for three different villagers, I probably shouldnā€™t have limited myself to ten NMTs, though if I didnā€™t, Iā€™d probably have spent too many. Iā€™m trying to play this island a little differently from my main island, at least for now.

Iā€™m really happy about having Lily again, though I wish she didnā€™t have the starter home again.

Days 6 & 7: Welcome Benedict & Flora!

November 1

I didnā€™t get much time to play yesterday since I was still finishing up my last two island journal posts.

IMG_9659.jpeg
I have to remember to update the image in my introduction post once all three of my new villagers have moved in.

IMG_9660.jpeg

IMG_9661.jpeg

Hi, Harvey! I probably wonā€™t be using your studio anytime soon, at least until I get all of the furniture. Right now, Iā€™m not worried about furniture or clothing yet and am just taking my time for the most part

IMG_9663.jpeg

Welcome to Mementos, Benedict! Good to see you!

I think Iā€™ll definitely enjoy having him on my island. When I look at his picture, I forget heā€™s a lazy. He looks more like a cranky to me, at least until I start chatting to him.

IMG_9664.jpeg

I almost forgot to help Gulliver last night. I kinda feel bad for Gulliver; itā€™s great he can keep his spirits up even though his crew didnā€™t respond to him; Iā€™d be a wreck because of anxiety and Iā€™d also probably feel like a burden to the crew.
IMG_9665.jpeg


November 2

IMG_9666.jpeg

IMG_9667.jpeg


IMG_9668.jpeg

The Gulliver hat curse continues šŸ˜”.

IMG_9669.jpeg

Hi, Flora! I think what I said is that it will hopefully look gorgeous when Iā€™m done decorating it šŸ˜…. But Iā€™m glad you think it is!

IMG_9670.jpeg

Hi, Benedict!

IMG_9671.jpeg

IMG_9672.jpeg

IMG_9673.jpeg

IMG_9674.jpeg

Thanks Benedict! :D The present wasnā€™t necessary though!

I thought this little dialogue with Benedict was pretty cute. I donā€™t remember if I ever got this on my main island after I welcomed a villager to my island. I probably did and just donā€™t remember.

IMG_9677.jpeg

Me too, Blathers! I function better usually at night šŸ˜….

IMG_9678.jpeg

IMG_9679.jpeg

I visited Drift and he gave me a DIY to make a tree standee. I also gifted him some wrapped coconuts; he gave me a workerā€™s jacket (light blue).

IMG_9680.jpeg

IMG_9681.jpeg

IMG_9682.jpeg

I vaguely remember when I got to this point on my main island, the dialogue made me think I was getting something cool but, only to be given an utility pole šŸ˜…. At least this time, I know Iā€™ll be using it down the road. Not anytime soon though since Iā€™m going to flatten my island first. No idea yet how I want it to look. I want to make mine look different from the dream address that I had found and liked, even though Iā€™m basing my island on the same game. I donā€™t want to copy them.

IMG_9683.jpeg

Hi Mabel! Will your store let me purchase more than one item at a time when it gets built? šŸ™ƒ

IMG_9684.jpeg

I donā€™t usually sell hot items, but since I need the bells, I crafted some log benches and sold them.
IMG_9686.jpeg


IMG_9687.jpeg

I did the group stretching.

IMG_9688.jpeg

I didnā€™t realize that the villagers wonā€™t notice my wasp sting when I have glasses on šŸ˜…. I took them off and finally Cherry reacted to it.
IMG_9689.jpeg

IMG_9692.jpeg

She taught me how to make medicine. I made some right away and got rid of my wasp sting. Thanks, Cherry!

Day 8: Another Chill Day in Mementos
šŸš§WIPšŸš§

November 3

IMG_9708.jpeg

IMG_9709.jpeg

Today was another chill day on Mementos. I was a little tempted to TT to speed up the construction so I can build the campsite soon, but being still burnt out from TBTā€™s Fair and Halloween Event, I mostly wanted to take it easy today.

IMG_9713.jpeg

IMG_9711.jpeg

IMG_9712.jpeg

One of the first things I did today was greet Lily. Lily is so sweet and adorable. Itā€™s going to be so hard to say good bye again when the time comes.

IMG_9714.jpeg

Hi Redd! You work in sales or theft and forgery? šŸ¤”

IMG_9715.jpeg
IMG_9716.jpeg

Take a look at the whole cousin talk, Cousin, and try telling me again with a straight face that there isnā€™t anything sketchy about that? lol.

Regardless, Iā€™ll probably be buying more from him even after I complete my museum. I like a good amount of his fake artwork too. I may need both for at least one area/house.

IMG_9717.jpeg

I was short on some bells to buy an art piece from him and I didnā€™t want to withdraw any from my ABD, so I crafted and sold some wooden-block chairs along with a wasp nest and weeds after I gathered enough wood to make them.

IMG_9721.jpeg

IMG_9718.jpeg

IMG_9719.jpeg

I returned to Redd and bought the Mystic Statue (real). After this, I gathered some more wood, crafted a few more chairs and sold them so I could put more bells in my ABD and pay off more of my loan.

I gave Cherry and Drift both some wrapped coconuts. Cherry gave me an oil lamp and Drift gave me a standing toilet.

Day 9: Project K

November 5

IMG_9739.jpeg

With the Resident Services now built, the end of the tutorial is now in sight. I still have a lot of work to do since after I get the campsite built, Iā€™ll have to get a three star island rating. Atm, Iā€™m in no hurry since Iā€™m still dealing with burnout and I restarted my Persona 5 Royal save file again šŸ˜….

IMG_9740.jpeg

Iā€™m happy that I got more pocket space today. I need to get going on my house loan so I can have more storage space too. Iā€™m want max storage space, but at the same time, since Iā€™m basing my island off of Persona 5, Iā€™m not sure if the full house expansion will go well with my island plans.

IMG_9741.jpeg

I talked to Tom; that shifty raccoon wasnā€™t fooling me this time.
IMG_9742.jpeg

He told me about Project K, his plans on getting K.K. Slider to perform on the island.

IMG_9745.jpeg

I built the campsite right away since Iā€™m looking forward to having more villagers and going island hopping again. Iā€™m actually hoping I donā€™t get Raymond since I will not want him to leave even though he doesnā€™t go with my island plans (and because I have him on my main island).

IMG_9746.jpeg

Like I had done with everything else, I picked a random spot for now for the campsite for now.

IMG_9747.jpeg

I needed to make some more bells so I checked to see what the Hot item today was.

IMG_9748.jpeg

I chatted with Lily before I went to hit a rock for iron nuggets.
IMG_9749.jpeg

If only I knew how to cook and had some ingredients and recipes, I could make you something, Lily.

IMG_9751.jpeg

After getting enough iron nuggets, I crafted one frying pan and sold it to the Nooklings. I also bought a diving suit.

IMG_9752.jpeg

I dug up some fossils to get assessed for Nook Miles.

IMG_9757.jpeg

Blathers is so cute ā˜ŗļø.
IMG_9758.jpeg

IMG_9759.jpeg

Imagine we get a sabertooth tiger in the next animal crossing game šŸ‘€; Iā€™d love him to have some sort of special dialogue about them.

IMG_9760.jpeg

I got a new diy from Drift. He also gave me a pj outfit (gray) for the wrapped coconuts that I gave him.

IMG_9761.jpeg

I visited Cherry next and gave her some wrapped Coconuts.
IMG_9762.jpeg

Thatā€™s funny you say that, Cherry since Iā€™ve been gifting you them for days now lol.
IMG_9763.jpeg


IMG_9764.jpeg

I chatted a little with Benedict afterwards.
IMG_9765.jpeg

I thought this was kinda funny lol.

IMG_9769.jpeg

I went diving and met Pascal for the first time.
IMG_9776.jpeg

IMG_9777.jpeg


IMG_9779.jpeg

He gave me a diy for a Mermaid Screen!

IMG_9780.jpeg

I also met Saharah today; unfortunately, I accidentally deleted the screenshots that I was going to share of her and my chat with Flora šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø. I bought a mysterious wallpaper and flooring from her and got a cafe curtain wallpaper and crosswalk flooring.

Day 10: Mementos is About to Get More Lively
November 7

IMG_9793.jpeg

Isabelle forgot to mention that we got our first campsite visitor too.

Now, with the campsite built, I can build more plots. šŸ„³ Mementos will definitely be getting livelier soon. I think Iā€™m going to continue taking my time though. I was originally going to tt a little to speed this up, but since Iā€™m still dealing with burnout, Iā€™ll most likely not. I still am looking forward to doing more island hopping though once Iā€™m ready šŸ™‚.

After I left my house, I got a phone call from Tom to meet him at the airport.
IMG_9794.jpeg


Iā€™m really excited about having HHP for my second island so I can redesign my villagersā€™ homes. I initially wasnā€™t going to buy it or the Nintendo Switch Online subscription, but since my mom had no problem with me getting it, I changed my mind. I was hesitant because this is the only game that Iā€™m playing on my switch lite and I didnā€™t think itā€™d be worth the subscription, not to mention that I was worried about losing interest or getting preoccupied with something else down the road, and wasting the subscription.

I stopped by Driftā€™s house and gave him some wrapped coconuts.
IMG_9799.jpeg


I apparently forgot where I put the campsite and didnā€™t think to look at the map šŸ˜…. While I was wandering around, Lily ran up to me.
IMG_9800.jpeg

IMG_9802.jpeg

IMG_9803.jpeg

IMG_9804.jpeg

IMG_9805.jpeg

I thought this dialogue with Lily was really cute ā˜ŗļø.

Lazy villagers are still my favorite even though I feel the dialogue was much better in New Leaf (not just for lazies but all villagers), but I think the dialogue for normal villagers might be my favorite. I really donā€™t like how much lazy villagers mention bugs (or that they mention them at all).

IMG_9807.jpeg

When I finally found the campsite, I expected to find a villager that I didnā€™t like.

IMG_9809.jpeg

IMG_9810.jpeg

Instead, I found the one smug that I wanted the most for this island, though I was kinda hoping to find him later since I want to avoid finding permanent villagers until Iā€™m closer to being done with my island. Iā€™m not sure if heā€™s going to be permanent since I want to have villagers that represent the Phantom Thieves plus Akechi and/or Yoshizawa as my permanent villagers (see this post) but I really want him to be. Iā€™ve been interested in Rodney ever since I found the Rodney appreciation thread.

IMG_9818.jpeg

Like I had with the other houses, I picked a random spot for his home.

I went diving afterwards to make some more bells.
IMG_9821.jpeg

I found a scallop and gave it to Pascal.
IMG_9822.jpeg

He gave me a mermaid princess dress. I canā€™t say that I was thrilled about the dress, but at least I didnā€™t have it already. I might find use for it later šŸ™‚.

IMG_9823.jpeg

I checked what the hot item today was and seeing that it didnā€™t require anything but weeds, which I still have a lot of, I crafted and sold one.

Campsite Visitors
šŸš§WIPšŸš§

11/07/24 to
Iā€™ll be posting pictures of my campsite visitors here; Iā€™ll create another post once this one gets filled up to a certain point. I was going to post individual screenshots, but I thought that theyā€™d look nicer as a collage.

4D856B37-7E01-4305-84AC-E9C318520D2B.jpeg

*Note: Iā€™ll edit and update the picture as I get more campsite visitors.

The house and ā€œtakenā€ graphic means that I invited the villager to my island.

My first campsite visitor was Rodney; I would have invited him even if the game had given me the choice of inviting him or not. Iā€™ve been interested in him for a long time but never got a chance to have him on my main island; I do have his amiibo card but I prefer finding villagers without using my amiibo cards. Iā€™m very excited to have him!
