So, to my surprise, most people said to continue doing daily entries T~T So thank you for enjoying them!
It was another day of no breaking news and more rain, a typical day in Pink Sea apparently T__T
To my surprise, I got the Nook Miles thing for Island Togetherness. In reality, it should be completed, but I’m only up to 30 as I just kind of suck at talking to everyone. Mail-wise was mostly K.K. songs I ordered that I cataloged from a friend (and that’ll be where all my orders go again today), but I also had a letter from Judy:
Yay for us being friends :D And Judy, you have no idea how down my mood is but I appreciate it. I hope to at least redo my ingame-house soon, but real life moving is still a mess.
It was then off for fossil hunting and to see where the last rock moved itself this time. Unfortunately, that was to my tiny little flower plot.
This really makes me want to just fill the plot up with flowers like I plan to when I don’t need any anymore, but I wouldn’t have anywhere to breed them then. I don’t have a second town specifically for flower breeding this time and this is honestly killing me. I just can’t stand something where I don’t want it to be and it just stresses me out beyond words.
As I climbed around to check for any randomly bred flowers from the rain and picked up some tee branches which I am so tired of doing, I sighted a boat I had been waiting to return for weeks now: Redd!! He was finally here again.
As much as I wanted to run over there, I had an order to my madness morning chores so he had to wait for now, but SOON.
Along the beach, I found a Recipe in a Bottle from Lily: Bamboo Bench. Sadly, I already had it :( Considering outside Seasonal/Event/Celeste stuff and the 31 Flower-related recipes (Wreaths/Crowns), I only have these Recipes left: Iron closet, Iron shelf, Straw umbrella hat, and Wooden-block bench (Also possibly the Pine Tree Bonsai if it isn’t seasonal but I think it is?), it’s probably going to be pretty rare I get anything new. :/ (I actually got a few recipes today so this was slightly longer, but yeah).
As I ran along looking for my fossils, it was generally a pretty bittersweet feeling. I wish I was more proud of my town. The difference between how I felt finishing up Pink Sea in New Leaf and this is like night and day, and while part of it could be due to things outside the game scope, I think a lot of it is I didn’t get my hopes up in New Leaf like I did here.
I knew what restrictions there were and what to expect from the get-go. I could plan every aspect with that in mind. With New Horizons, I got so caught up in the grandiose of scale and terraforming without realizing the restrictions would make a lot of the things I wanted to do either have to be done at a smaller scale or not at all. Not any area is exactly how I envisioned it and that sucks. A lot. There’s nothing I can really do to “fix” it, but I do think it means I’ll never really be happy with my town either.
My museum still getting so little progress as I wait for Gulliver and hope he gives me what I need doesn’t help.
Regardless, it was time to head to Redd’s and be the Detective Princess of my dreams.
I started with the Solemn Painting as I always found it really pretty. Alas, it was fake. The Famous and Jolly paintings were fake as well. That only left the Valiant Statue. As far as I can tell, it looks like the real one! But if not, I have an idea for where to put the fake one.
He also had the Toy Box in Blue which was the last color of it I needed so definitely a win today. The rain had started to clear up and was gone as the hour changed, but that didn’t mean it couldn’t end up raining again later.
I then decided to play around with some ideas I had with the entrance as I kind of just want to finish up with it because having to just… remove waterfalls and add cliffs to get places sucks. This genuinely hurts to do:
And there’s no need for it. Let it just have an option like the room decorating to drag things in because this is just disheartening. I’ve sometimes even considered changing stuff up, but it’s just not worth the effort and I’m not looking forward to doing similar for other areas.
I do think it came out nice, but the anxiety over it wasn’t worth it. And just ignore the one picked lily– accident from all the pain it took to place those lamps -_-
After that, I mainly did my usual crafting for people thing, but I also got to hang out at Spooky’s for a bit and check out her town after making some Crescent Moon Chairs. The area she made for Rainy was really sweet.
Heading back to my own island, I went to greet my other villagers who were now awake. Judy even taught me a new reaction.
Though, I don’t know if “Amazed” is the right now…
Not much else happened, but later that evening, I did run into Wisp.
I once again picked something new, but he gave me a Throwback Gothic Mirror which I already have all the colors of :(
Meanwhile, I tried adding a few more elements to the Grove area.
Teddy tried to give me a new nickname… but I decided to stick with the old one. Though, he added to it so now I’m “Team Captain” Princess (but shortened to Princess).
Other than that, thanks to some kind trades and friends, I’ve been slowly working on getting my pink flowers set up… But honestly, I’m so overwhelmed, that some are pretty much going in the last place they’re needed.
I work so much in patterns that I’m struggling really laying it all out as I get more of specific kinds. Right now, of the ones I need tons of, I have the most of Pink Windflowers. In Second is a tie between Lilies and Hyacinths, but I’d say Lilies are higher overall? And finally Roses which I do not have much of at all.
I really didn’t work out a breeding area enough and I’m absolutely paying for it now (especially as someone who just isn’t comfortable asking anyone to come water even when I know they don’t mind/have no problem doing it). I didn’t realize just how much having a second town just for hybrid breeding helped and I just feel kind of lost right now because of it.
Kind of like how I work best when I have all the furniture I need and can just shuffle as needed, I really just need to have as many flowers as I can good to go or I have a hard time keeping track of everything and where maybe I won’t want flowers or would prefer something else.
On a less melancholy note, I got the last Plastic Pool I needed and placed it where the Blue one had been. I’m not sure if I’ll keep this one here or not or change it to one of the other colors, but I’m happy to finally get it.
To my surprise though, things got a little more eventful as the day came close to an end. Besides crafting a lot for people and doing some DIY trades, I got a new item for around my Museum as a tip!
I’m not entirely sold on that specific spot yet, but I’m happy to be filling it out in some way.
And I even got to wish on some starts. Fingers crossed for Large Star Fragments tomorrow!
