Welcome to Lallybroch 🍃

[LuluLove]

Do you ever get that itch that basically wants you to restart your whole island after tons of hours, memories and work?
Well, it happened to me as well; maybe it was the 2.0 update, maybe I simply missed the early stages of the game or a new map to spice things up a little.
On November 9th I said goodbye to the island that kept me company for a little over one year and a half and I embarked in a new adventure.
I was ready to look for the “perfect map”, while setting some rules for myself , such as no time travelling and no trading items.
It was hard to let go, but I have been having so much fun since that day!
So, welcome everybody to Lallybroch!

DAY 1

After refreshing too many times, hoping to find the map that in my opinion is the best, I was finally able to find it.
Although my 2 starter villagers are not exactly my favorite I was ready ti roll with them and definitely excited to start a new adventure.

Curly and Shari are going to be my only company for a little while.
After cheering with what Tom Nook said to be “apple juice” it was time to name this new island and yes, being a huge Outlander fan, I had to go with Lallybroch .

Shortly after receiving the first of many, many loans by Tom Nook, it was time to get some miles and catch fish and bugs for Blather.
Didn’t do much on the “first day” because it was already late, so I called it a day when I was finally able to get the first 5.000 miles.

If you are curious about my layout, here’s a pic I have taken a few days later, because I completely forgot to do it before.

I have a blue airport and my native fruit is apple .

DAY 2

Blather’s tent was ready to go on day two, easy peasy.

Also, my tent magically became a house overnight, and that only meant a new loan, but I was able to pay it rather quickly.

Also, the airport opened and I was able to look for my first 3 villagers. Hopkins, Fauna and Maddie will join us very soon.
The rest of the day was spent fishing, catching bugs, diving and collecting all the materials for the new shop…that was tedious, very tedious indeed.

DAY 3-4-5-6

Day 3 was a big day; Tom Nook exploited my handiness and asked me to build not only a bridge but 3 whole houses…sketchy raccoon.

My lost cousin came to visit me…I don’t know, he says we are cousins and that he sells real art, but the ship seems sketchy enough. Well, family first, I guess.

Also, Nook’s cranny magically came to life overnight, and we held a celebration. I mean, they were celebrating me because I was the one providing all the materials.

Shari and Curly decided they had enough of the tent life and upgraded to houses.

Blather’s tent is no longer a tent but a real museum.

Also, I got to see my first shooting star

And Curly and Hopkins are best friends.

Yeah, Hopkins, no one cares about eight-packs…wait, I thought it was a six-packs? I guess Curly is too cool for that one.

DAY 7-8-9

On day 7 all our new villagers moved to their new houses and, shockingly, Tom Nook decided to invest in a new infrastructure for the island…drum roll…a resident service that is not a tent. He didn’t even ask for help…I’m speechless.
My beloved Leif came to visit so I can finally buy some crops, bushes and flowers.

Soon enough we finally have a real building instead of a tent and a Isabell…yes, she is cute, yes I’m happy, but I’m sure I won’t be anymore as soon as she will start rumbling about missing socks and her big accomplishment of peeling a fruit.

Shot out to Hopkins being adorable and to me, realising a week later that he is supposed to be an inflatable bunny.

DAY SOMETHING

We have a campsite! Oh gosh, we have a campsite…

Because Tom Nook didn’t pay for all my work around the island I decided to get a job on a tropical island…I wish I could say that in real life…

 

[LuluLove]

DAY SOMETHING AGAIN
I promise that I will soon have real days as we get closer to the present.
Anyway, the campsite was good enough…I mean, Colton is not in the list of my dream villagers but he is not bad either…and we all know how bad it can go with the first campsite…coff coff Chops, Hippeux, Hans and my worst enemy, QUILLSON.

Horse version of Prince Charming is not bad compared to those previously mentioned…ugh.

My cousin came to visit again but he only had fake art. Of course I had to get the 10% chance of that happening, of course.

We held a celebration for the new RS and I think this will be the last.

 

[LuluLove]

DAY SOMETHING
Mable decided to drag her prickly bum to my island. Took you long enough…just saying.

I met my favorite otter boy pascal. I love otters, they are my favorite in real life too.

When you have nothing in your island and somehow you already get recipes repeats, even a mushroom wreath is a big accomplishment.

Also, Hopkins is my new favorite villager of all time.

And Fauna is giving me strong girls power. Go shake those hooves.

 

[LuluLove]

DAY SOMETHING AGAIN

This is a big accomplishment. This is my FIRST lucky hunt. This is Sasha boy moving to Lallybroch.

Not as exciting but this is also me paying my second loan. Seemed fitting paying it in a swimsuit because, who would have know, when you don’t time travel and you haven’t unlocked terraforming yet, there is a lot of time to waste chasing sea creatures. And they sell for a lot too.

 

[LuluLove]

DAY SOMETHING

I picked up lovely Sylvana from a user here on the forum and she is absolutely perfection.

Also, my luck was real when it only took me a couple of fish baits to catch a golden trout.

 

[LuluLove]

DAY SOMETHING BUT BIG DAY

To start things off…how is Sasha so cute? I mean, look at him.

Also, who knew that scattering random stuff from balloons and trees would get you 3 stars so quickly?

 

[LuluLove]

THE ONLY DAY I’M GOING TO BE EXCITED FOR K.K.

Yeah, after this day he will simply be the annoying dog that blocks my whole plaza every single Saturday.

Also, apparently everyone loves Curly. So maybe the real star of the island it not K.K. but Curly.

Oh, Fauna, how dare you saying something so harsh to precious, perfect, adorable little Hopkins.

 

[LuluLove]

DAY WHERE I SPEND NOOK MILES TO GET AWFUL ISLANDS.

Remember when it was exciting to get to 3 stars because you unlocked terraforming? Well, those days are behind us. Now it means Kapp’n singing songs, Harv’s island becoming worth of visiting and Brewster boy back.

Spoiler alerts: 10 days later and I haven’t had a single cool island yet.

This is as exciting as it gets…

Nonetheless, today was a big first time day.

First time cooking…

First time splurging 100k bells on Harv’s island…

First little terraforming…

First villager visit, from Maddie of course…

And lastly, first time welcoming Wolfgang.

 

[LuluLove]

THE DAY I GET THE ONLY HAIRCUT I LIKE…

It’s all fun and games until Harriet gives you some awful haircuts. But this one I love.

Also, first coffe and first time seeing the cafè…I was surprisingly good at keeping away from spoilers.

Fauna being the new Virginia Woolf…I wonder what chocolate pie really means, maybe it’s a metaphor for life.

Finally, my lovely Celeste, the cutest thing that exists in AC, with her rosie cheeks and her big bow.

 

[LuluLove]

THE DAY I DO SOMETHING I NEVER DO IN REAL LIFE.

Yes, I’m referring to cooking. I found out I’m rather skilled in AC.
Anyway, Turkey Day means beautiful new forniture in my vocabulary.

Splurged some more bells on Harv’s island…

Had my fortune told by Katrina…of course it was bad luck, so I had to pay more money to have her purify me…at least I won’t be tripping the whole day.

Celebrated Wolfgang’s birthday and the first birthday on Lallybroch nonetheless.

And lastly, said a painful farewell to Curly. Your fan club will be missing you.

 

[LuluLove]

DAY VERY CLOSE TO THE PRESENT TIME

First day of snow had to be celebrated!

Also, Kicks is here for the first time.

Also, first K.K. concert…am I the only one who listens to him just to complete the Nook Miles stamp?
Also, I should get myself one of those glowing sticks next time.

 

[LuluLove]

A SUM OF THE LAST DAYS

Fauna is surprisingly entertaining…

I jumped into the terraforming and had my first bridge.

Oh, you just wait Wolfgang. Soon enough all you will be seeing is snow.

Festive season is in the air, isn’t it?

Oh yes Harriet, I love this new hairstyle. It reminds me of George Harrison.

Also, party hard for 10 furnished houses in HHP!

 

[LuluLove]

THIS WAS LITERALLY 2 NIGHTS AGO

I’m finally catching up to present times. I had to commemorate the luckiest fish hunt I had in quite a while. What a great night that was.

Celeste was the cherry on top!

 

[LuluLove]

YESTERDAY ON LALLYBROCH

We are finally caught up to present days! No more day something!

Caught a lobster…took me forever.

Coffe with Wilbur, why not.

Some terraforming with the little things I’ve got, plus Portia!

 

[LuluLove]

TODAY

Didn’t do much but the first take away coffe was worth the mention.

New bridge in the making! No more pole stick from tomorrow!

Night time stretches are the best!

Wolfgang and his personality test. The question was weird tho, what do you expect to see in a fish bowl if not something aquatic? Weird…also, I don’t “act” cool, I am cool Wolfgang.
