  1. Is there a RP for the School of Friendship?

     I would like to enroll myself my draconequus. 

    Shenanigans ensue.

      I’m thinking he could be like Eddie. He tries to do scams to get money for jawbreakers but fails at most turns.

      I am still disappointed that Jawbreakers don't actually break your jaw.

  3. So today, I bid a fond farewell to Eugene, the coolest koala I ever done seen. I miss him already.... as I immediately sprint off to go recruit a new villager to fill in his spot.

     And I lucked into Whitney! The snooty wolf girl with a beautiful, icy coat of frosted fur! 

     I recently got good ol' somewhat of a demon Roscoe to move in too. He's a cool, red-eyed, black horse with a very simple theme. 

     It's just a right shame I had to lose Coach to fit him in. But he's a Jock, so no loss. Poor Coach, had to pack up and move while he was sick! But then again, he's a Jock. I cannot regard Jocks.

    Of course, now I've got three lazy villagers, Hornsby, Zucker & Doc... and including me. We're a very lazy island.

      It was one of these two I think. 

      It May have told its family because I had a nightmare last night that a chimp was out to get me.

      It would maybe help the design if the entire bottom half of the skull wasn't gaping mouth.

       Technically, chimpanzees and monkies are a different species from apes. I for one think they are both hideous. I have never played Donkey Kong.

      Donkey Kong is fun. But these guys are not pleasant to see in your village. It would be like seeing the dog from duck season if you shoot him too many times.

     ...FFFFFFFFfack!

     Nook is truly evil.

     Oh, he's legal, he's trustworthy. He's just not honest. I mean, you can't Argue with the Man. What, you assumed you'd be flown all the way out here and given everything? The process has to be funded, you know! You're involved now, its just simply the next step that has to be done. Now grab the bullets and stop crying.

    That's the lovely dichotomy between Nook & Redd. Redd cares about making the sale, Nook cares about providing the service. Both are out for profit, but Nook succeeds because he gives people just what they want, and works with them to move the Business along. Can't fault a Businessman for that. Nothing illegal here.

      Already bought all the landscaping options, but of course those must be purchased with miles, not bells.

      and I like my house like it is :)

  5. I forget if I've brought it up before, but every Pokemon fan has to try their hand at developing a pair of main Legendaries!

     I had this idea of a pair of ancient, forgotten gods; symbolizing Reality & Fantasy. How both are needed for Life... yet both are taken often to severe extremes and how its not wise to get too far lost in either.

     I haven't settled on names for them yet, but the latter, a Diety of Spirit was well-known but obscured in the hearts & minds of creative sorts and forebearers of guiding thoughts and pathmakers of human development. All throughout history of the Vachereon Range, artists, leaders, creative and wisest of minds speak of being visited in their dreams or in half-woken hours of an ethereal being. Long and waving like a banner, comprised of crystaline fragments like shards of a broken, pink-shimmering trail of broken mirrors.

     The region has many a tale of Fairies, especially this one. And it is considered unwise to look too deeply into its origins and intent, for clearly it cares little for the continued life of those it appears to. Stories abound of those who form too many concrete facts & knowledge about this Fairy/Dragon for even when accompanied with enough precautions and observers the most knowledgeable unerringly find a vision of this beast of light and chase after it, hypnotized, only to wink out of existence without a trace. Theories abound through this densely forested area as they often do, that it is a personification of the limitations of humanity, a messenger of yet higher gods sent to pick off those who huburis arises too high; taking those who prize themselves gods and wielders of a true knowledge. Yet simpler minds, in the rooms of taverns abound, claim it as just another magical beast that thinks of humans as playthings... and just gets too excited to let go of its toys.

     As much myth and vagueness that surrounds the Fairy Dragon, it is treated as fact. For nary a decade goes past without reliably frequent reports of those who find themselves stumbling upon the untraceably wide, wildflower fields that blanket the southeast of the region. Of those who don't intend to seek such a place of inexplicably undauntable, bright wilds in this most ancient of forests finding among the endless sunlight of these bepetalled fields that glitter with day even in darkest night, a dancing entity of fractured dreams, will & whimsy, trailing like all the eyes and minds of every being woven together in perfect disharmony, a Leader of Fae Unfounded, the Ever-Will & NeverWas, the Diety of Spirit!

     

     (I'll be working on a picture. Eternatus got eerily close to my design!~)

  6. I do guess there is a finely balanced compromise between your element of water and the arcane, fae magics I like. Interesting how often those traits seem to tie together.

      Duality

      The key link is that water and fae magicks both by nature flow and shape the world around them with that flow. Both characterise life and living things, and both have a curious aspect that seems to hint at a sort of life within them too. The similarities are certainly not just superficial. :grin:

  7. So there's a cute little girly goat boy in Animal Crossing by the name of Sherb. He's kind of scrawny with these big eyes and in a baby blue coat color. He's a Lazy type villager.

     I haven't gotten him yet, but I remember this one video someone put up where Sherb is in a conversation with one of the Jocks and the Jock tells the villager he was going to throw this party to debut his eight pack abs but now Sherb keeps pestering him to get an early peek.

     I was reminded of you.

     Because we probably wouldn't know each other if either of us knew the slightest thing about Subelty. 1771889953_th(1).jpg.7e2d08017150267169cbe75c0c228e61.jpg

  8. If I was an Animal Crossing villager, (and let's all face it, that's clearly what I am. It explains far too much.)

     I would be a Lazy llama. 

     I'd be the guy you meet outside with me panting heavily and you come up to me and ask if i'm doing alright.

     "I'm all sweaty and beat from my morning walk today, Blaah!"

     You: Silent Stare

     "Well, yes, I know my house is still within sight! It's just really hot out here when i'm wearing these four layers of shirts over my natural, dense wool! ...  ...I, uh, didn't want my shirts to get jealous of each other."

     

     What villager animal would you be?!!?

    1. Prospekt

      Prospekt

      I'd be Bob the lazy cat. His combination of appearance, species, and personality are just the epitome of what I would expect an anthropomorphic cat to be like. And honestly, it reminds me of myself even though I am merely human.

      latest?cb=20200413200623

      Bob is a kid at heart, which you can see when you walk into his house. I only wish I could be so bold with interior design. :P He also has the best song playing... K.K. Ragtime is legendary.

      Though Bob does seem to be renowned in AC fandom for his dancing, which I sadly cannot do well as a result of clumsiness.

      Oh don't worry @Bobspekt! That's just rapid-fire Dabbing! Should be easy enough to practice!

       I would agree. So often anime or fantasy portrays cats as having things together, being clever and on the ball, flirtatious or exceedingly cute to the point of it being integral to their species like the whole genesis to Anime Catgirls. But nah, they're animals. Cats know their place in the world, they just totally own where they decide to lay. They're not stupid, but their certainly not no Wizzards of Intellect. They get in trouble, find themselves in more trouble than they can get out of with their Curiosity. 

       Cats just do what they want, man. They, and Bob, are the kind of guy that would wear the most flowery, girly dress and no one would bat an eye. 

       

       ...I'm honestly surprised "Lazy" is an option when it comes to cats.

  9. I'm sorry I haven't been around alot here lately. Especially for replies like @Blitz Boom's RP thingie.

     Just being able to be healthy & capable & responsible enough for my demanding pizza job has really gotten me down with stress and has thrown my emotions way out of whack. Plus, with how out of control the world is these days...

    Just been awfully fearful lately and been hard to do any hobbies or care for myself... Sigh.

      Its unpleasant how the governments of the world call the work force people 'essentials' all of a sudden and work people like horses when there is a pandemic but without a literal threat we just get over looked. 

    4. Widdershins

      Widdershins

      Whyes, I would, @Stone Cold Steve Tuna. Any advice on how to start? I wouldn't want to just start up complaining by filter of stress.

       Not to downplay anything on your end of course, @Kyoshi, but i'm not far off from whatever ails you as well. I really do think I ought be put on something too because i really... just really can't handle these mass production jobs. Like, they know they can't handle the workload we have, they know we can't work in the conditions we have and continue the way we are... but we do anyhow. Them pizzas are slung around and manhandled like all get out. Human error can account for only so much. Y'all just gotta know you ain't getting any quality or product made with love this way, right?

      ...not that i'm saying it couldn't be worse. I'm glad for what i've gotten to do, proud of what i've accomplished!

      ...I just feel my health sapping away trying to keep up. And I've complained about being inable to keep up with every entry level job i'[ve had so far.

       It's more of an over stimulation, I would say @Lightning Cloud There's just so much going on. I wouldn't call unfairness either though @Handsome Changeling, Pizza might not seem that important but when there's people who can't leave their house at all by government mandate, we're probably 60% of the options for people to sustain themselves!

      No, I just feel things are poorly managed. Like, if this actually had any threat to it we'd probably be doing more than just putting up public posters of best guesses. "Symptoms of Corona: You feel crummy and like you ought have a spot of a lay-down." Having to have the governments stand in and require we actively avoid each other isn't... precisely...reassuring. Like we didn't know not to breathe on others during usual flu season.

      ...and you know... @EpicEnergy? I never really learned how to relieve stress. Sure, i've gotten into meditation and fallen off on my yoga practice... but i've taken steps, heh. Oh, and exercise is right out! Lol! 

  10. So I've sculpted my Animal Crossing NH island after my theorized new Pokemon Region. Dense pine forests, but a wide diversity of landscapes and ecosystems!

     I do have yet to figure out how to make a marsh. I need far more decorating items and I somewhat doubt the feasibility of a mountaintop dessert.

    1. Stone Cold Steve Jobs

      Stone Cold Steve Jobs

      I want a mountaintop dessert!!

      I built a mountain around a villager’s Windows because she had too nice a view.

    2. Duality

      Duality

      There are a few interesting plateau-type biomes that might apply to your mountain desert dilemma. Uluru springs to mind in particular, but I'm not sure what the climate is like on top of it. :huh:

    3. Widdershins

      Widdershins

      @Duality

       Oh, that's a specific mountain that's in a dessert. I seemed to halfway remember some type of biome type that started with a U... or a letter sounding like U. Aye, but what I'm thinking of is probably what the High Steppes is in Southern America. Where the llamas naturally live. Granted that's more of a cold scrubland. Because from what I have heard, mountains tend to "scrape" the moisture out of the air leaving most areas around it provided with notable moisture for greenery. Then again, the Artics count as dessert by lack of precipitation so it is primarily a statistical classification.

      ...also, like, video game lands so perhaps a slight exaggeration is in order.

  11. Anybeing else playing the new Animal Crossing Nude New Horizons?!!? I wanna visit new islands!

     I'll share my-!...Uhh...Island Code Thingamajiggery! I'm in Japan currently sos I think I get different wildlife from most of America. 

     Any wanna talk about it?!!? I know that I think @Stone Cold Steve Tuna has been playing it! I wanna have visitors come over and gawk at the massive terraforming projects I've been undergoing! I can just see my villagers waking up to have an entire mountain range having been shoveled up overnight!

     So far, Coach best Jock, Olive best Normie/BookBear and Dotty best Popstar Peppy!

      I have set mine up too but I don’t really like that you can’t change out of your clothes when you use the want. I got the easter one too!

    3. Widdershins

      Widdershins

      The Want Wand. Yes, very apt. 

      I've picked up a bamboo (Soo...very much...bamboo recipes...) version and a Mum wand, but its just not the same without the star on the end! Let me guess, the Bunny Days wand had an egg on the end?

       I'm so glad I missed out on Bunny day. It looks like it overhauled everything else to focus on eggs.

    4. Stone Cold Steve Jobs

      Stone Cold Steve Jobs

      Yes. And it really did. The eggs spawned a little too much in place of stuff you were really looking for . But the Easter bunny secretly hated his job so that helped a little bit. Also I kept making him mad because I was talking to him from behind. 

  12. Looks like this Goose... is Cooked!

     (He still managed to get out somehow)

    On the bright side! Finally got his fat chicken butt out off my island!

     I pestered Olive for a whole day to get her to take his place and Olive is such a cute lil' BookBear! Her first lines to me were about being a poet and how her only qualm about leaving her old home was because she had books lent out and she didn't dare give them an excuse to keep her books!

      I did a very similar thing to a villager who appears to be old. Except I used barbed wire and the only way out of his house is by jumping over a small stream and blowing out his knees. 
       

      ...you think that might be why he doesn’t come outside?

    3. Widdershins

      Widdershins

      @Sparklefan1234 Granted, that would require me setting the house on fire. Which is against the Local Villager's Association's rules.

       Of which I happen to be the founding member.

      @Stone Cold Steve Tuna

       "Appears to be old", Yes. Could be he's just ugly. This generation of AC seems so very entrenched in claiming certain villagers as "Ugly." That surely wasn't the reason I was against Goose. He just had an Ugly Personality!

       ...That, and my Jock quota was already met by Coach. I can't take much more Jock than that.

      Oh, but don't worry. They still somehow magically figure out how to Poof across the island. I have had two (now four) villagers up on unaccesible mountaintops and they still get down somehow to the city square. Ceolacanth Knows Coach wants to spend every morning and evening rock climbing to get to his bedroom. I know him well. 

       Speaking of the Young & Old dynamic, I caught crusty ol' Wart Jr. talking with wannabe popstar bunny Dotty about what the Halibut a "Selfie" was that only resulted in both parts coming away from the conversation in copious flop sweat. This is a very realistic video game. 

       I love Wart Jr. He's like two feet tall, but the most mature person I've ever seen. Not so much cranky as dangerously realistic.   ...guess what villager I see you as, Mr. Acronym?!!?

  15. On today's episode of!: Fahking with Goose!

     See, got my full ten villagers on my AC island. ...And Goose was an accident. Didn't want to say no and be impolite, y'know?

     So today! Hands-free, I pushed his fat chicken butt all the way to the airport door. When he wouldn't fit in, I did a Sad emote, and silently walked away, leaving him in quiet utter mystified expression.

     This has escalated, of course, from me just using my own face to push him outside his own house.

     I would like  you to put this as your Avatar. Because, I am afraid I must break this news to you, but you are Blathers.

    437739069_IMG_0887(2).thumb.JPG.20441e1ecfa054b74be98b58c43cb5dc.JPG

     "I am quite knowledgeable, you know."  A-Hoo! A bug! Get it away from me! But if you want biological information on it I will acquiesce...

      I find myself mystified why Blathers even keeps a bug part of his museum if he hates them so much. Perhaps the museum associtation insists on there being at least three wings to qualify, and hey, bugs are everywhere.

     Me: "Hey Blathers? How come there's also alot of fish and frogs in the Insect Wing?"

     Blathers: "Well, it is our endeavor to provide as suitable a natural environment to make our vermin specimens happy. And as you well know, insects can produce rapidly so it is only befitting that the addition of insectivorous organisms would be necessary to keep numbers down and keep a comfortable biodome to...."

     Me: "You want them dead, don't you?"

    Blathers: "Yes."

     

     I'm not saying you have a tendency to prattle, be flighty or a massive dork.... well okay, maybe the last part.

      Yeh but robots made out of meat and gooey bits kinda stretches your suspension of disbelief, y'know? I mean, all the robots we know of are constructed from carefully engineered parts made of half-decent materials, so this whole 'life' business just seems like a particularly bizarre splodge of pseudoscience. Me, I reckon biologists invented the idea of life so they could get a job with an art degree and it all snowballed from there. No way these 'meatbots' actually exist. :eww:

      Humans of Proportionate Size? I don't think they exist.

       They're supposed to be, what, 70% water. Just sloshy innards unnconnected propped up by calcified scaffolding that leaches out nutrients for the fluid channels? At least its realistic that every part of it can go horribly, horribly wrong at any given moment. 

      Besides, its clear they're not intended to be robots. That implies they only act by outside input. Why create a species if it didn't form its own directives to rise up and overthrow you violently, think for itself?

  17. Welcome to the Island of Widdon!

     Enjoy our natural beauty! Like our constantly howling winds, random flashing lights on seemingly random areas of the island and the various ghost sightings! Do use caution with lighting any campfires; as once lit they will never go out of their own accord, even when doused with water. Apparently, the native wood of Widdon is naturally soaked in extremely caustic chemicals. Do not eat the trees.

    Come explore our scenery! Like the mysterious stone structures erected by unknown hands that were clearly not placed solely for tourist attraction! 

     Our island flower is the Windflower, appreciate its beauty and keep our land free of any foreign plant life as any other plantings will be met with a shovel to your face.

     The island animal is Bob the Turtle! Do not pet him, he will devour your hand. 

     This has been a public service announcement, brought to you by: Nook The Crook, Isa"Jingle"Belle and Shinner the Pink.

And if they's was too far away, then fine, we let go of our thoughts and figured they weren't important enough if we couldn't remember it the next time we done saw them!

       Weeeee ain' had nonna this here Twitters! Back in my day, if we wanted pointless trivia on peoples day to day activities, we'd just hang out with our family.

       See now, that's classic sense. If yer attackin', yer hittin'. Defense means whatevers on the other side of the rock that's hitting you in the face. So what if they did the same thing, it's called "Special" because it has a different name. That's about as special as things needed to be back then!
      Back in my day, we didn't have no Vidja Gams! We just stood in a circle taking turns spittin' on each other! Games were won on who was left standing conscious!!

      @CypherHoof Why! Back in mah Day, we didn't have lawns! You wanted to own plants, you stomp outside and take a swipe at nature an' come back with whatever yeh got a fistful of!

       Why, back in my day, we didn't have no concept of ownership nonsense! We wanted land, we just tear up a part of land and cart it off and if anyone had a different say in it, we'd just steal it back and forth. And we were dadgum happy with that arrangement because it occupied our time in between the yearly plagues!

  19. I'm sorry, but this is unforgivable. 

    I'm willing to overlook alot of things in the new Pokemon games. Piecemealing out content and the actual pokemon I can get by, an underwhelming gimmick. But... they MISLABELED... a BERRY.

     I... don't know how badly you gotta buck things up... to type in the wrong description to an item. In a product, that's shipped out to customers. It's not Sour, it's Dry flavor. It's how its been for over twenty years. I could accept that they changed it after this long, but not this. It being called one thing, and actively being used otherwise.

     There's teams of people who have this job, of reading over their work. And they let this get through. I expect, and trust the franchise I've lived my life with to at the very least do their jobs. 

     It's like you having gone your whole playtime on your game having avoided and thrown away one item because you had a better weapon in slot... and it turns out the item was actually armor this whole time. That was an aspect of the game you were prevented from taking part in... because the nuts & bolts makers of the game decided to not write accurately.

    ... Geez. The first games were a mess because of having to rush it along to meet deadlines, and I get that. But with today's technology on this, a game that had barely the hype of generations past... what's the excuse for this obvious of a falling-on-the-face? 

     You could have taken more time, put more effort in. Especially if you were planning on adding more content in later. But no.... you let parts crumble out like this. You could have put more effort into animation, not have flagship characters be welded to stock, singular movements to where they remove any kind of connection us fans can have to empathize with your characters.  ....why is Galar so rushed?

    ...

     Go! Cinderace! Use Headbutt!

    *Uses the same kick for every other attack*

    .... I paid... money for this experience.

      I like the pokemon, the region itself, ...decently how the story worked out. It's the actual mechanics of the game that have fallen through... but I would still not as shoddy as the first generation worked out. It's a small miracle the first games even functioned at all!

      That’s not really a valid comparison. That was 1996.

      You can’t be like, “They sucked in the 90s, so it’s okay that they continue to suck in the exact same way almost 25 years later.”

      Which game did they screw it up in?

  20. I forget if I've bought it up, but Bats are cute!

     One thing I've learned about myself since being out here in Japan, is that I am physically incapable of not saying "Oh hey, a bat!" every single, individual time a bat flies past.

     I will rue the day a flock of bats flies past. My throat will either give out, or I'll manage vocal dubstep.

      I’ve been known to dabble in the man’s of poke before, yes!

       I don’t mean I am good at it. But I do sometimes!

       Well, the poking part has been downplayed in recent entries. Back in Kalos, poking your pokemon was most in fashion! Because, you know, it being France and the french do love poking.

      But its a game, there's no real being good at the game of poking!...I mean, being a Pokemon Trainer.

       A Pokey Trainer. 

       Hey, its basically a beasttamer job. One way or another, through varying degrees of severity... there is a lot of poking!

      Someone made a parody game where you capture people with cell phones and make them fight. It’s a little too hammed up to work as a satire though.

  21. I'm sorry I haven't been around so much.... just been so emotional, paranoid, tired... For reasons I think you know. Whole lotta health concerns going about.
    Been trying to work an exhausting job and dealing with wild mood swings from depression. Sigh.

      Sure. I wish my dad was taking this thing seriously but he refuses.

      That reminds me, I need to rewatch this show on Disney+. It's pretty amazing.

      @Prospekt What’s Disney+? Netflix keeps letting me down what with randomly dropping whole shows they’ve had for years. Pretty sure this show isn’t on there.

      @Stone Cold Steve Tuna Perhaps, he got a little too chunky. Morbidly Chunky, if you will.

  23. Just bought Animal Crossing New Horizons! I look forward to Nook once again jipping me out of all my non-existent monies! Good news is Apollo is there too!

     All my favorite villagers are either Cranky or Lazy like Moe, the cat! I like the low energy, chill fellows. The ones that won't hesitate to show you how embittered they are. We're on an even level there.

     Just checked back on Wild World and first thing my Best Bro Apollo says is: "I heard you ate a Baked Alaskan, skipped out on paying for it and so begain your yearlong Crime Spree.   ...that is what happened, right?"

  24. Ah. There is just something natural and wholesomely pleasing about Autumn Blaze's floofy mane.

     We need more redhead ponies.

    ...and also green horsies!

  25. Been awhile since I gave you a good example of wholesome Confusion:
