Spoiler: important island happenings

island founding: March 20, 2020

Spoiler: move ins and move outs

4.26.20 Marina moves out ;n;
4.28.20 Chief moves in
4.30.20 Wade moves in
4.30.20 Octavian moves out TnT

Spoiler: about pillow

5/5
Jacob's Ladder Count: 4
old residents: Plucky, Sparro, Sherb, Gayle, Bree, Marina, Curly, Mira, Daisy, Octavian
theme: a small, flower filled, cozy town with zen, tranquil, sleepy vibes. i want the atmosphere to feel similar to how Fruits Basket has been making me feel. I binged all of the new seasons these past few weeks and it made me feel happy and cozy.
the journal: i really wanna post pictures and backstories of residents and happenings on pillow because reading through everyone elses, it makes the island come to life. i really want to be able to share my island like that. so i'll be posting general island things like weather, turnip prices, hybrids i bred for the day, as well as who's in the campsite (I have most of my permanent villagers but I have a lot of amiibo cards, so I like to scan people in just to see and talk to them), resident interactions, and general island progress!

note: I'm getting their birthdays, coffee preferences, and skills/goals from the animal crossing wiki, but I will be changing their
goals/skills/coffee preferences non-canonically as I get to know them on my island. *= noncanon, made up by me.

favorite coffee: mocha with a regular amount of milk and 2 sugars
skill | goal: gardening* | astrologist*
coco is my top villager that's been with me since Wild World days, she was my first villager in New Leaf, and I scanned her in the first time I could into New Horizons after a friend gave me her card as a gift. She's the only villager i've ever put by my house. She loves reading, especially with tea. She's always talking about books, asking me what I like to read and what she should read, etc., and she's a big fan of all the flowers all over Pillow. She's closest to Nan and Kiki, who also enjoy reading around the island!

favorite coffee: mocha with a little bit of milk and one sugar
skill | goal: making good tea* | writer
kiki enjoys reading with tea just as much as coco does, so I've set up a reading/tea area by her house as well as coco's. Her island best friend is zucker. Their houses are next to each other and they visit each other all the time! I like to think kiki always prepares little tea sandwiches every time zucker comes over. kiki has also been with me since new leaf!

Spoiler: kiki's album

personality: lazy
birthday: march 8 (pisces)
favorite coffee: kilimanjaro, a little milk, 1 sugar
skill | goal: napping* | chef
zucker is the resident lazy, foodie, and sleepyhead. you can find him snoozing pretty much everywhere, from his own house, outside his house on the beach, or even in the flowers. his favorite foods are cakes and sandwiches and seafood (that isn't octopus seodxlkjs). despite being lazy he likes to fish, and he has a little fishing area by his house with a fish drying rack as well!

skill | goal: fashion & casual tailor* | designer
julian, one of two resident aspiring popstars on the island! he sings every day, but he's also really supportive and is usually always sitting watching his best friend apple sing when she's feeling extra pop-star some days. he's pillow's resident interior design expert. he has the most dazzling house and has given me like 6 different gold recipes LOL he's never not crafting something super extra.

Spoiler: julian's album

---

personality: peppy
birthday: september 24 (libra)
favorite coffee: blend, regular milk, 2 sugar
skill | goal: karaoke | super star*
apple is the other aspiring popstar. she doesn't sing as much as julian, but she sings a lot too! julian is like a big brother friend to her, and she always gets support from him when she does get the courage to sing for the island a little.

Spoiler: apple's album

personality: normal
birthday: march 6 (pisces)
favorite coffee: blue mountain, black
skill | goal: meditation* | teacher
chevre loves meditating and relaxing in the nature of the island. her favorite is the hot spring under her house and the bamboo doll that makes her really happy every time she interacts with it. her best friend is nan, who lives right next door of course. canonically, nan and chevre are based off of a japanese children's song about a black goat and white goat who are in a loop of writing each other letters, eating the letters, and then sending a letter back asking what the previous letter said. this fun fact makes me so happy so i knew i couldn't pick only one of them. they're a package deal on pillow now!

Spoiler: chevre's album

the outside of chevre's house is inspired by this gif that was sent to me by a friend:

^chevre was the first resident i saw interact with the bamboo i have out just out of the picture. she got so happy when the doll did it's animation, it was so cute

personality: normal
birthday: august 24 (virgo)
favorite coffee: blue mountain, black
skill | goal: playing horseshoes | baker*
nan is one of the newest residents of pillow, so I don't know too much about her yet but she likes hanging out with kiki and chevre a lot, and she's definitely the baker on pillow! she'll be the one to wonder if any visiting guests will enjoy her homemade baked treats. she's the most motherly figure on the island.

Spoiler: nan's album

^nan likes to read under trees, i've found

personality: uchi
birthday: august 30 (virgo)
favorite coffee: blend, black
skill | goal: ping pong & making flower crowns* | nutritionist*
hazel is both pillow's daydreamer and tomgirl, although she loves to wear dresses and flower crowns! she can beat anyone around at a game of ping pong, but she also loves sitting down by the river and snoozing and just getting lost in thought.

Spoiler: hazel's album

personality: cranky
birthday: september 20 (virgo)
favorite coffee: blend, black
skill | goal: triva | fisherman
octavian is a grumpy alien boy, and he loves conspiracy theories! he's often found fishing somewhere in town. also, despite being grumpy and cranky on the surface, he has company a lot and secretly loves it. coco, kiki, zucker, and apple all frequent his house! he also loves flowers the most on the island, second to probably only coco. he's always sniffing them. he's also the resident zoomer. he's always running around with his arms out!

-nan spent almost the entire morning reading to our island's pet turtle!! it was so precious

-i also gave some residents some new clothes!! i love how in new horizons residents cycle through clothing you give them. i love adding to their wardrobe and seeing them wear different things all the time! this sweater i gave coco reminds me of the default shirt she wore in new leaf with the color palette, so i had to give it to her

mabel approves

before I write my daily entry about happenings on pillow, I visited Sherb, one of my original move-ins in the tutorial, on my sister's island. I miss him a lot but it makes me happy that he's living it up on my sister's island, where he's become best friends with Papi!! I wanted to share some wholesome screenshots of Sherb remembering me and just being Sherb like I remember. It made me sad because I miss him but also happy at the same time

I love that they remember you

and... i dont know if i should feel uwu or offended tbh

oh sherb....
don't mind me just, over here crying

new hybrids: see happenings!!!! big news for pillow
happenings:
-this is going to be a long entry, there were a lot of happenings on pillow today, but this entry is particularly exciting for me!!! so i hope someone tunes in anyway :'^)
===
-today is a bittersweet day on pillow... I have had wade's amiibo card ordered since march 29, but due to covid-19 his card has been stuck indefinitely in osaka with no ETA. so i decided it was time to move someone out naturally and get him from someone. i don't like to TT at all, but I TTed today until the first person essentially pinged me to move out. It was coco, which was a cruel trick from the game LOL but ultimately I have her amiibo card and TTing causes me a lot of anxiety, so I let it happen and went to pick up Wade. Here are pictures of me meeting him for the first time!! And of him being on my island!

Welcome to Pillow, Wade!

I will be kicking out my grumpy alien conspiracy theory fishing boy, Octavian, to get coco back in. I'm sad to see him go because i really love him a lot, but ultimately I'm going to be happy to have more variety of animal species on my island, especially with having two goats im not willing to change up, and it's been a long time coming for Wade to move onto my island. I'm so happy. I hate that I have to reset my friendship with coco, but it won't take long to get our friendship back up, and I like to see it as Coco having went on a little vacation!!

-Coco's vacation is over now and she'll be moving back into Pillow tonight to conclude my small spurt of time traveling

===
- i got a 5 star island rating today!!! on accident!! i had completely given up tbh bc i like to keep so many weeds, but it turns out you can get 5 stars with honestly plenty of weeds. Like all of my pathing is checkered with them. Pretty excited for this accomplishment, and I even found my very first jacob's ladder! yay!!!

===
-i made some more memories with octavian today as well. he's going to be really missed on pillow

-here is him being supportive of Chevre and the pear song she came up with today! going to put her song in a spoiler, since its quite a few screenshots.. Chevre, sweety. you did great

Spoiler: Chevre's Pear Song!

===
-i put julian in a nightgown today and i must say, he is looking FABULOUS. exquisite, even

===
-caught apple snoozing with her lunch in hand, having a popstar dream. It's okay, apple! it'll happen. incoming this new years on pillow: apple's new years eve countdown concert!!

===
-Chief visited with Zucker today! it was super cute. Everywhere Chief walked in the house, Zucker chased after him smiling. So wholesome. Chief even read some KK Slider biography to Zucker. We stan KK on pillow

===
- i will also be updating my map panel with a picture of my starting map, before terraforming and before i got all my villagers!!
- updating my resident rep panel as well with my house exterior soon, as well as my house on the first day of play on the 20th once i upgraded from my tent! so watch out for that as well!! <3

===

sorry for such a long winded post! just had a lot of exciting stuff happen today on pillow

 

[metswee]

Ah Im SO happy to see you got Wade!! I hope you enjoy ur new neighbor! And its nice to see some love for Octavian hes definitely my fave octopus (tho zucker is close 2nd)

Congrats on the five star rating!! Tbh Im not sure how much weeds affect the rating bc I had a ton on my island when I hit five stars too : o I also like keeping em around theyre kinda pretty haha

ahhhh im so happy he's so ROUND and adorable!! currently working on decorating outside his home, excited to post results soon! <3 your journal made me realize how badly i wanted him so i just bit the bullet, did some TTing, and moved him in from someone's island and it was totally worth it. I'll definitely miss Octavian though, I got super attached to him. I was just kinda ready for for some variety in species and I have zucker as well who is my 1st fav octopus

and thank you!! i really wasn't expecting it since procedure in new leaf is to rid your island of all weeds ever, but they're so pretty in this game

 

[meggtheegg]

4.30.20 continued
===
to end for the night, i finished decorating outside Wade's house and I'm quite happy with it! I feel like despite him being a lazy he has a really fun and playful energy that I really wanted to bring out in decorating around his house, and I also wanted to make it work well with the trade area you can kind of see up to the left

And also had some fun times hanging with friends and getting some shooting stars at a friend's island! fingers crossed for a taurus fragment or two!

and a bonus picture of hazel and chief hanging out at like midnight LOL before signing off for the night
glad to see chief making pals already! <3

that was quite a long and eventful day on pillow, and it was really fulfilling. made me quite happy
