acnh drip part two

I feel like posting anything about Animal Crossing is pretty boring, haha. It's not quite peak zeitgeist anymore. It's trending passé​​. But I frankly don't care! I post about stuff I enjoy! And I really enjoy doing these ACNH lookbooks. For me it's quite fun to look back on all these outfits.

As with my last ACNH outfit post, I named each fit.

I found that dirty green tank in the recycling bin and it said self-detonation to me. It's giving "mission accomplished," it's giving "omae o korosu." Are there black spandex shorts in the game...?

I have a couple more Animal Crossing posts up my sleeve, but I'll space 'em out.

acnh drip

I had a nice, chill birthday! I bought that rotary cutter set I linked in my last post and it's a game-changer for me. Sewing clips have saved me already.

I'm still hyperfixated on sewing (😅) but I wanted to divert course momentarily to post a compendium of some of my favorite outfits I've worn in Animal Crossing New Horizons.

Which I'm still playing! Not with 100% regularity, but in months-long bursts with breaks in between. I'm actually a year behind in the game, so it's August 2021 on my island. I don't know about y'all, but the way so many people had virtually complete islands decorated to the max with all the hard-to-attain items just two weeks after the game was released actually killed my own motivation and desire to play. So I didn't for months at a time, between smaller periods of energy/inspiration. Thus I got quite behind. But I got back into it again during the fall/winter, and I got very into adding to my Amiibo card collection, and got into screenshotting my dressups every day.

So: some ACNH drip! I named each fit.

This dressup screenshotting tendency of mine is likely brought to you by how much I still, to this day, miss Poupeegirl. (Of course there's Bentewee and also there was the Dolly Collection app. I did both for a few months, but it's not the same experience as Poupeegirl, imo.) I think Poupeegirl heavily influenced the way I dress my Blythes. I even mentioned it as an influence here several years back.

Must say my favorite dressup items in ACNH include the berry beret, the mustard pleather ankle booties, the lavender glasses (both round and hexagon frames), the ballet shoes (any color), and the basket purse. My island rep's almost always in double braids.

All right, I'm off to do more sewing.

playing catch up

Hello, 2021!

Your girl's been sick most of the year so far!

"I really want to concentrate on my novel in January," said I, thereby cursing myself.

I don't have COVID (thankfully), just a lingering cough. I try to speak and I cough instead. It's no fun. And there's some unfortunate overlap between this and the whole winter weather situation going on in southern USA right now. It is not as bad here as it is in Texas. I'm so thankful for that. I've been through severe, national-emergency-type winter weather before, sans power, and it was traumatic! But last week was still rough. I'm pretty much in survival mode right now.

I fell really behind in Animal Crossing New Horizons last year, so while I've been sick and snowed in, I've been catching up. I've only just started December in the game. Above is the entrance to my island. I can't believe that the game's been out for almost a year!

Another thing I've been doing is sketching, mostly digitally. Anne's been doing digital art lately and it's really motivated me to get back to it! I just dabble in self-indulgent fanart and the like (I like to warm up by looking at Adventure Time media and sketching off it by eye), but here's a rough sketch of Olwenn.

I am not an artist; don't think that's what I'm claiming. I just wanted to post this here just because it's representative of something that's kept my head above water of late. As you know, it's all about getting that SEROTONIN!

Stay safe, y'all.
