Today in Laguna🍊🏝️

5/6/2020

Since my post yesterday I have been going thru campers looking for Raymond

On my 2nd attempt I found Judy and I couldnt just leave her........still unsure if I will be keeping her permanently but she is so cute Welcome to Laguna Judy!!

On my 8th attempt I found Marshal. I debated taking him in as he is one of my friend's dreamies but sadly I would not have room for any other villager except Raymond : / this cat has given me some tough decisions

The most heartbreaking decision came on my 32nd try........I found Pietro ; - ;
He was the smug I was hoping to replace Zell with and him showing up before Raymond was my greatest fear. After a few hours of thinking about it I decided to let him go......I hope we will meet again Pietro

I was starting to lose hope.....I had gone thru like 20 of the 34 available smugs........maybe the Animal Crossing gods were going to give me every other smug before getting to that god forsaken cat........

But finally on my 38th try, he showed up......

Here is the final list of villagers I went thru

Ive had him on my island for a couple hours now......and I can safely say I do not understand the hype haha
BUT I am very happy I was able to get him and Dom for my partner! Raymond will temporarily be living on Laguna but as soon as my partner has a plot open he will be the first to go!

To make room for Raymond I had to temporarily let Deirdre go but I bought her amiibo for like $8 so she will be home soon. Im excited bc once she moves back she will no longer be in the starter villager house! I didnt originally plan on switching her house but when I found out she had an animated wallpaper I knew I had to!

Anyway that is enough TTing for me for a while Im excited to get back to decorating :' )

wait first of all deirdre has an animated wallpaper?? which one??
im glad to see deirdre getting love, honestly. she's such a criminally underrated deer. coincidentally i bought her amiibo for like 5$ and some change the day before yesterday LOL

also it's so nice that you're getting those villagers for your partner! seeing the 2022 year it didnt click for me at first that that was the year you traveled to at first dosilhkjsds whew

she has the autumn wall! unless my eyes were playing tricks on me it has like little maple leaves falling!
I totally slept on her in NL but I have totally fallen in love! If you do decide to scan her into your island I hope you enjoy her company!

yeah I had to go far I forgot to note it but I ended in 2023 sdfghj I know all villagers have equal chances of appearing but the game really makes Raymond feel rare

Doing hw but taking breaks to play! Wanted to say hi to all my villagers and decorate a bit

Dom hasnt been on Laguna for long but he has been giving me a ton of gifts! Hes really growing on me

Wade can be so sweet! This little piece of dialogue brightened my day

Ive been showering my villagers with gifts! Heres Diana all decked out in clothes Ive given her : D Im happy she liked em!

Judy was sick today but I brought her some medicine as soon as I could! Hope she feels better soon

And here are some of the areas I worked on today!

My newly decorated shops

Area next to the Resident Services

Area next to Redd's Market

And not sure what to call this area but Dom is enjoying it!

A wip for a neighborhood (gotta get more bells to move the houses)

My finals will hopefully be over next week so Ill be able to make more progress! Id really like to do some more catalog trading

To start off today I took a bunch of cute pics of my villagers

Caught Wade napping facing a bush omg

Bugged Dom a whole bunch today sorry Dom

I was planning on keeping Judy for a little longer but I saw another Bell Tree user looking for her for their bear cub sanctuary island I knew she wouldnt be a permanent resident anyway and I thought that would be the best place for her to go......We will miss you Judy!!

But in her place is Portia!! I had her on my island a while ago but had to let her go to make room for Diana.....Im happy she is back and since I have her amiibo now Ill always be able to bring her back! Welcome back Portia!!

FINALLY I have a new part of Laguna to show off! Im not sure what to call it but I like it :- ) eventually wanna make it more library/observatory-like! just need some more furniture

And thats it for today! I did work on some other areas of my island but think I posted enough pictures haha

Thanks for reading! ​

Oh I think I saw the post made by the user who adopted Judy from you! That's really kind of you and I'm really glad that Judy has found a forever home. Also the new area looks so ethereal!
And I wanna say that I'm super impressed by your signature. Everything from the logo to the organisation to the easing on the motion graphics...damn

 

[meggtheegg]

You must be the person who made somebody's day by getting them Judy! That's awesome and really sweet. Portia looks super cool and I love how your island is coming along. I can't wait to see what you do next.

Today I made an absolute mess of my island LOL

FIRST cleared out the area where my garden used to be and started turning it into my campground. I plan on having it connected to a fishing area on the beach along w decorating the beach w typical beach type things.

During the process Diana, Dom, Roscoe and Raymond were hanging around the entire time

For now my campground is connected to the already existing playground! Unsure if Ill be moving it at some point but thought Id post pics anyway! Diana has been getting in all my pics today

And FINALLY I finished moving all the houses into the new neighborhood! Still gotta add some more furniture but Im liking the vibe

I am not gonna post pics of the mess the old neighborhood is rn BUT HOPEFULLY I will figure out what to do w it :') ANYWAY ty for reading and hope yall had a great day!

Turned in one of my finals today (just one more to go!) so I thought Id treat myself to some animal crossing (as if I dont play daily already)

It was a rainy day on Laguna today! Everyone was out n about in their raincoats

And Diana was exploring the new campground! I think she likes it :- )

I did some terraforming on the stuff I messed up yesterday and think its coming together! Just gotta build some inclines and figure out where to move my house

And I finally fixed up my long neglected house! It was in need of some more furniture but I ordered a bunch of stuff from my catalog and I think its looking better! Here are my favorite rooms : D

Anyway thats it from me! Thanks for reading ​

No update yesterday bc I mostly played w friends and cycled a bit so thats what this post will be about!

I had been thinkin for a while of letting go of one of my normals as much as I loved having both Bea and Merengue, normal isnt one of my fave personalities (I really wanted another uchi)...So yesterday Merengue was adopted by a Bell Tree user. Before she left I was able to get this really nice pic

To replace her, I camp reset for Reneigh! Im really excited to get to know her and so far Im loving her : D Shes living next door to Roscoe who is definitely her grandpa

Deirdre is also back in Laguna! I got her amiibo in the mail and I invited her back (she kicked Portia but since I have her amiibo too I can always bring her back) I dont have any pics but I am SO happy bout her having her animated wallpaper instead of the starter house :' )

And I will leave you w this fun convo I had w Diana after I got stung by wasps

5/15/2020

Hey everyone! got a small update for today!

Got a few pics from inside Deirdre's house and her interior is BEAUTIFUL Im sad she doesnt remember our past friendship and how she founded this island w me.......but Im happy she isnt stuck in that starter house anymore

Caught Deidre, Wade and Raymond stretching in front of Resident Services! I hardly ever see Wade stretch or anything so this was fun haha

And today I bought a pagoda from another Bell Tree user and Im SO happy about it!! Im gonna be decorating some more but heres what I got so far : D

I also finally got the recipe for the wooden bookshelf so I want to try working on my outdoor library tomorrow! Ill hopefully have pics tomorrow :- )

thanks for reading!​

I finished reading this whole thread so far...just wanted to tell you that your island is beautiful!

Definitely found some inspiration for decorating my own bland, terraform-less island. lol

I also have trouble figuring out how to display items, but you have given me some great ideas.

Will be following your progress from now on.
