First Villager Photo

When I stopped over at Hornsby’s house today, Apple was also there visiting. But the weird part is that they were both standing by the door, but facing away from the door, looking to the far corner of the room. What were they staring at??

Hornsby and Apple stare into a corner of the room.

I’ve been noticing something interesting about my daily glowing spot. Very frequently, it shows up in Sudden Valley. In fact, it seems to be there nearly half the time!

I found Rizzo sitting on the chair next to Agent S’s house. So I (temporarily) dug up the flower in front of the chair, and buried a pitfall seed. I had to wait about two minutes for him to finish reading the sentence he was on, but it was worth it. He eventually got down and fell right into the pitfall. 😀

Update: I just realized that I wasted a pitfall seed there. Since he was on the chair, he would’ve had the same reaction just falling into a hole. Oops!

There was another meteor shower tonight, so I wished on several shooting stars.

Up on the cliffs, I started my island designer app. I’ve decided to recreate a landmark that’s in some old Zelda games, A Link to the Past in particular. No, it’s not a Triforce pond; it’s something more subtle that not everyone will remember: Spectacle Rock.

Spectacle Rock in Forest (Animal Crossing: New Horizons). It is a recreation of a landmark in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

I know this isn’t the most exciting addition, but I’ve been struggling to figure out how to use that previously bare spot of land. And I like the Zelda reference. As a bonus trivia fact, it’s in roughly the same spot on the map as the Spectacle Rock in A Link to the Past. 😉

I destroyed two rocks to put Spectacle Rock there, but if any rocks reappear on top of Spectacle Rock, I may leave them. They could represent the eyes in the spectacles! 👀

Just to let you know, Spectacle Rock wasn’t the only layout change I have planned. More changes are coming.

I ran into Tia tonight, and she asked me to catch a violin beetle for her.

Tia: Could you catch me a violin beetle?

Since I have two tree stumps between my house and Nook’s Cranny, I end up seeing violin beetles pretty often. Less than four minutes later, I had the bug for her. I took it over to her, and I was shocked by my reward: Her photo!

This is my first villager photo in New Horizons, and I’m glad it’s from Tia! I put it in my house and hung it on the wall. The quote on the back is “Tea is a cup of life.” 🙂

Back outside, Louie asked me if I ever visit Apple’s house. He said she makes the best hot cider! 🍎😂

Louie: That hot cider drink she makes... It's really, really good, oh banana.
Does she make it when you give her a squeeze?

After a few minutes of fishing, I wrapped up my game for the night. See you next time! 🙂
