Bufkin ✶⋆.˚

April 3rd, 2025 ~✨

The next few days might be a bit slow as my island gradually starts to take shape, but I’m making a real effort to avoid time traveling and just enjoy the game at its natural pace (plus, I’ve got a 9–5 to juggle too lol).

As you can see, Saharah made an appearance—and I couldn’t resist picking up two rugs!

Rex is the first villager to move onto the island (I was secretly hoping it would be Kiki though😞 ). That said, I’ve got to admit—I really love Rex’s design!

Harvey also stopped by! I’m holding off on visiting his island for now—saving it for a day that’s not packed with tasks!

A bit of a silly update, but I finally caught a sea bass! It’s funny because it’s one of the most common fish in the game, yet somehow I didn’t reel one in until today lol.

Scoot was busy at home today crafting a cosmo flower crown—look at him, so focused! My shaylaaaa🥰

And finally, I had to take a moment to reminisce about the early days of animal crossing—tarantula hunting!!! What a wild (and slightly terrifying) time that was!

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m guessing Nintendo might have patched the tarantula trick? My tarantula hunting session turned into hermit crab hunting real quick lol.

Still walked away with 48,000 bells though, so I’m not complaining 😎🔔

~ see you guys tomorrow 🍊✨

April 2nd, 2025 ~ ✨

Short update today because tbh— i was too stressed out doing everything to take many screenshots loool

I got a new outfit!! I never realized how well blue goes with orange. Just chose the least hideous shirt in the nook catalogue lool.

~ I think Scoot is a bit mad in the back since I took off the hat he gifted me. He did give me some reactions though!!

Mabel finally showed up and will start appearing from time to time!! Homegirl can take her time with bringing her shop over cause I still don’t know how I want to plan out Bufkin.

(was thinking an all duck island…👀)

I spent quite literally all of today making the bridge and finishing the 3 homes for the new villagers joining Bufkin. You may already know Kiki and Rex are joining but….

PIPER IS JOINING!!?

Didn’t meet her at all prior to this (so she is the rando). I also have never had her on an island before and by looking at pictures…i’m shocked she’s a peppy villager.

~ welp that’s it for today. see ya tomorrow✨

April 1st, 2025✨

First off — umm wow!!! I honestly was not expecting anyone to see my post so I was genuinely shocked by the likes, reblogs, and comments. THANK YOU!🍊✨

~ this honestly just shows how great of a community the animal crossing community is. i literally almost cried seeing the notifications.

ok done being sobby ~ HERE ARE THE UPDATES!

I updated my tent to a tiny home!! I was inspired by Scoot’s gift and made my room purple so now I match my house.

Blathers also came to my island. If you look back at yesterday’s post then you probably can already put together that I was able to give him everything he needed to get the Bufkin Museum built!!

~ his tent is so beautiful. i wish he had a dedicated space in the museum that we could view🌿

I was also able to get the shop materials to get that built!! This and the building of the three homes are probably my least favourite thing to do in this game. IT TAKES FOREVER!

(wood & hardwood are easy to find but that softwood….AHHH💢 - DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON THE IRON NUGGETS😡)

Scoot was an angel and gifted me some nuggets, but I unfortunately still needed to go to a nook mile island.

He also said that I radiate kindness and honesty because I like to work out my quads haha.🏃🏾‍♀️

5 flimsy axes destroyed and 3 (yes 3) bee stings later I was able to get the shop placed.

Thanks to Scoot (and Tom Nook for the free ticket). I came across two new villagers that will join Bufkin really soon!! KIKI AND REX!

I have never had either on an island before (from what I can remember) so I am excited!!!

Finally I decorated my home with all the things I caught, found and was gifted for today!!

i also spent some nook miles on the pop hairstyles. i couldn’t take the bowl cut anymore😅

~ excited for what tomorrow brings🍊✨

March 31st, 2025 ~✨

Starting a blog to document my new Animal Crossing: New Horizons island! Lately, I’ve been feeling pretty burnt out when I play, and I want to rekindle my love for the game. By keeping track of my island’s progress through this blog, I hope to stay motivated and appreciate how far it evolves over time—rather than giving up too soon.

I chose red hair for my avatar to make them stand out, but it unexpectedly tied everything together perfectly. With orange hair, oranges as my island’s native fruit, an orange airport, and even an orange-toned base outfit, everything just fell into place!

My base island residents are Tammy and Scoot which I am really happy with!! Tammy gave me a leaf umbrella recipe and Scoot gave me an ugly purple hat! :D

I ended my first day with a bunch of fish and creatures in my filled up tent while I waited for Blathers tent to be built (peep the tarantula). Won’t have this tiny place for long though cause I paid off my first of many debts to tom nook (5000 nook miles).

~ new home tomorrow wooooo!✨
