#animal crossing villager stella

[dr-friendship]

I've been getting pretty frustrated with digital art lately since I feel like I'm struggling to adapt to both the drawing program I'm using (Krita) AND having to draw with a mouse, so I decided to go wind down with some random traditional art doodles and ended up giving them line art and coloring them. XD

(You can tell I'm hyperfixating on FNAF right now since nearly half the doodles are fnaf related and half of THOSE doodles are based on @skeletoninthemelonland's Springdad AU which I'm absolutely obsessed with haha.)

Here's the initial sketch in case y'all are interested, I tried my best to filter it so that you can actually see it but I only have my phone camera to work with lol--

[sweetmonsooncos]

It’s so nice to see you, baa-dabing!

I never understood comfort cosplays and then I cosplayed Stella 🥺 Stella is my favourite Animal Crossing villager so of course I had to bring her to life! I even brushed up on my embroidery skills as I embroidered the flowers on the jumper by hand 🥰

(Fun little fact - the book I'm holding is my debut novel! If you like sci fi and want to give it a go, you can visit www.hollypritchard.co.uk 👍)

CHARACTER: Stella

FANDOM: Animal Crossing

[dia-oro]

There’s no rodeo but they look nice a and stela but I forgot to take a photo, she adorable, no my villager are cut in two colors orange or some level of pink

I will later in the game hunt my baby boi roddeo

[arcadekitten]

What is the relationship between all the character in sweet no death? Cause it seems like a small town so I feel like they call frequently to each other bc not a lot of people are there (or is it actually a big town and we've only seen a part of it?)

The town is definitely bigger than what we see!! I only showed what I felt was necessary. It's not a very big town but there's more residents than the 6 we see in-game.

I would say that, for the most part, all the residents you see that aren't Stella or Lambchop view each other pretty evenly and equally as "friends". I haven't really thought of any of them considering another one as their "best friend".

But when it comes to Stella, I think everyone holds her in a higher regard (like how the animals in your animal crossing village seem to hold a preference for you, specifically). Even if some of them feel like they don't know her well, they know that she's helpful and sweet and kind and they feel comforted by her presence. It's hard to describe the way they view Stella. She's a friend but also more than that. Kinda like how Lambchop describes Stella as being a "hero".

Stella views everyone around her as being her friend. She in return feels comforted being around the others and likes when they're happy--and even more so if she was the cause of that happiness.

Ruuuby has a crush on Lambchop.

Lambchop knows of Ruuuby's crush on him and, if he knew back in the day, might have found it flattering. He doesn't care for it now and doesn't see her as being on his level.

Lambchop is obsessed with Stella whether or not he wants to admit it, and I think it causes him a lot of internal conflict when he loves that he hates her and hates that he loves her and vice versa.

Spiritfarer

This game was a weird experience for me. I wanna say that a story like this is more about the journey than the destination - and that’s copacetic narratively, as the unfolding stories of each of the passengers are far stronger than the capital p Plot the game builds towards - but from a gameplay standpoint, the journey itself largely felt like a tedious timesuck, and I kept finding myself wishing we could get straight to the point.

Let’s do a compliment sandwich here.

The overall vibes are immaculate, and the world of Spiritfarer is incredibly cozy. The dialogue is delightful - and not only with the main characters! Even the random villagers always have something charming going on. I think the last time I was actually this enthused to talk to minor NPCs was A Short Hike.

They’re not always cheery, either; the game has a lot of that old-school Animal Crossing edge that got sanded away over the years, where characters are actually allowed to be abrasive or even straight up dislike you. Spiritfarer has multiple passengers that, upon meeting you, are anything from fully disinterested to straight-up jerks. Some of them will warm to you over time, as in the OG Animal Crossing, but some will just never really like Stella all that much… and they will loudly, vocally share that fact with you. Even some of the friendliest, most open characters sometimes need their space. This wider spectrum of interactions goes a long way toward making the characters feel real and engaging, and it’s something I’ve missed in this space for a while.

The art and especially the animation work is absolutely stellar, too. Each of the characters have strong silhouettes, and the animators really make the most of each design’s unique attributes: Stella’s big wide-brimmed hat puffing up when you use it to glide, the Everlight’s infinite transformations into whatever’s handy for the current situation, Bruce and Mickey’s big guy little guy dynamic*, Gustav mightily leaping from floor to floor. A 3D game with this concept would likely stick to a handful of rigs for the characters and keep their movement simple, so I give a lot of credit to the Spiritfarer team for going the extra mile and putting such care into making the passenger animations lively and creative.

*Well, this one is only fun until you find out the why behind the dynamic

Daffodil is the cutest fucking name for a cat btw

Unfortunately, despite how fun they’ve made the basic movement, the actual gameplay bits get pretty tiresome. It turns out that much of the moment-to-moment gameplay is actually doing chores on your boat, and they start to feel like chores remarkably quickly; while running, jumping and ziplining all feel great, most of the production minigames, like watering plants or smelting, are tedious and time-consuming. 

For the first third of the game or so, you’re unlocking new building minigames regularly, so they all feel somewhat novel. Plus, the density of the early game lends itself to a constant multitasking that feels satisfying. You’ll set your boat’s navigation system off to a location, then decide what form of crafting or farming will be the best use of your time; the result is a great “just one more turn” loop that's pretty engaging. The thing is, due to the length of the game, the pacing simply doesn’t stay that tightly engineered. You’ll run out of new buildings and minigames to unlock, start to get tired of the ones you’ve done dozens of times, and have to return to the same islands to farm materials over and over again. 

I will say, I quite liked the cooking system. There was something satisfying about guessing what different ingredients would pop out a new dish, and the illustrations for all of them are cute enough to make the experimentation feel worthwhile.

And unfortunately, this pacing inconsistency applies to the story as well. At first, you’re running into new faces constantly, and at any given moment will have half a dozen passengers on your ship, making it feel like a lively community. The rate of new passengers slows down dramatically, though, and for much of the back half of the game I had only 2 or 3 passengers aboard, leaving the game feeling empty and rote. 

This is not an easy problem to solve - it’s gotta be near impossible to keep the pacing curated if your game is this long - but maybe Spiritfarer didn’t need to be this long? 30 hours is fuckin HEFTY for this kind of game. I dunno, it’s certainly possible other people found the management sim side of things engaging and equally as worthwhile as the character interaction, but to me it mostly felt like busywork keeping me from the story bits, so my patience for it grew thinner and thinner.

For the first half of the game or so, I had a running theory that Stella didn’t actually know any of the passengers, and these people were being enchanted by some sort of Spiritfarer glamour that presents you as someone they’re comfortable / familiar with. The game makes the truth clear as it goes, but a part of me really likes that idea of the ferryman taking the form of someone that can put the departed’s minds at ease. I think that’s how the reapers in Dead Like Me work..?

Now, the reason my frustration with those elements was intense was because boy I got invested in these characters. A few missed the mark for me (I’m sure everyone who plays this game has a different group of passengers that really pushed their buttons and those that didn’t), but so many of them were memorable and heartbreaking.

Gustav, with his desperate hope that the transcendence of art can outlive any individual, really speaks to some existential crises I’ve gone through myself

Alice, who in her old age finally has the means to travel and go on the adventures she always wanted to, only to be betrayed by her failing body... I literally watched this happen to someone close to me weeks before playing this, so the moment was a gut punch. And then that development is tied into the gameplay, by making you move Alice's house to the ground floor because she can't use the ladders anymore, and you have to walk her out to the deck and back every day... inspired, and soul-crushing.

The reveal that the reason Bruce does all the talking and initiates all the pair's movements is because Mickey's been in a coma the whole time... broke me. And then Bruce decides to end his own life because he can't bear to go on alone anymore? Jesus, man.

Okay, I get that I'm a mark for any story touching on Alzheimer's, but Beverly's depiction of the disease was particularly brutal. The Alzheimer's I've dealt with was a very language-based version, so Beverly getting halfway through a sentence and realizing it wasn't right, saying things like "Just give me a moment" or "Let me just take a little break and I'll finish" then giving up in resignation... fucking hell. Too real.

In general, the amount of spirits whose arcs aren’t resolved when they go out is rough. Despite being a work that’s clearly focused on death from the start, Spiritfarer initially feels like it’s going to be a somewhat sanitized look at the topic. You’re going to take these spirits to the door of oblivion, sure, but we’re going to get complete character arcs, we’re going to work through trauma, and people are going to go through the door when they’re good and ready. And for the first few passengers, that’s true… but things get dark quick. Bruce’s tale, as previously mentioned, ends with him killing himself. Atul, one of your most easygoing, dependable passengers, simply disappears one night, never to be seen again. Jackie, who embarks rather late to start a journey of self-improvement, gives up halfway and straight-up tells you he can’t find anything about himself worth living for and suicide is all he deserves. Spiritfarer even twists the knife by letting us read some of his journals afterwards, showing he feels a deep regret and self-loathing for his past actions… he just can’t find any way to live with them.

This is what I respect the most about Spiritfarer’s musings on death, I think. Rather than dressing everything up in neat metaphors and giving you emotional catharsis, it’s not afraid to show death as sudden, as unsatisfying, as desolate, as lonely. By presenting itself so whimsically, it gets the audience to let their guard down so the hard moments hit them with full force. I wish they could’ve had the confidence to lean on those moments without feeling the need to pad the time in between with monotonous crafting systems.

— Wendy —

It's Wendy's birthday today! So if you see her please go say hi and don't forget to bring a gift!

For those that may not be familiar, or are interested in a peppy, kind-hearted blue sheep: Wendy may be just the villager for you! Let me introduce you!

About

Wendy is a light blue sheep with a slightly darker blue on top of her head. Her face, arms, and legs are an orange colour with a darker orange-brown for her hooves. She has yellow horns and closed, slanted eyes.

Her slogan is lambkins. And Wendy's favourite saying is "Every cloud has a silver lining" which, as always, is super inspiring and uplifting. She wants you to remain positive even when times are hard. How sweet!

As a peppy villager, she will appear excited and cheerful when talking to the player and other villagers. If you see her outside, she will often tell the player she ate too much pie, and she needed to take a walk. She may get upset easily, but will soon forget the argument due to her short attention span. Like other peppy villagers, she dreams of becoming famous. When Wendy has an argument it may be due to other animals commenting that she does not have "star quality". She will soon get over it. She will not get along with snooty villagers but may also sometimes conflict with them due to their habit of spreading gossip. She will also get along with lazy, jock, and smug villagers. Cranky villagers may have a hard time understanding Wendy, due to their different personalities and lifestyles.

Gift Guide

As always, players who are looking to level up friendships with their villagers should keep in mind that villager's interests and hobbies. Wendy's favourite colours are red and green and her favourite styles are cool and gorgeous. Of course, it is up to the player to decide what to give villagers as they may display them in their home or wear them! All that being said, here are some gift ideas I think Wendy will like:

Fancy Kimono

Chimayo vest

Retro coat

Marble print dress

Puffy sleeve blouse

Plover cardigan

Animal print coat

Groovy shirt

After-school jacket

Silk hat

Any gyroid

Kotatsu

Pro tape recorder

Mic stand

Professional headphones

Broom and dust pan

Floor seat

Snowflake wreath

Fruit themed furniture

Blue themed furniture

When in doubt, you can also give any villager a piece of fruit!

Fun Facts

Wendy is the youngest of 3

She was originally introduced in Animal crossing: City Folk!

Wendy is said to resemble Stella - though they are not related!

[all-things-fandomstuck]

So, I've hit some sort of weird patch in my life. I've apparently decided I'm planning out a strategy for a game I don't have.

Basically, I've plotted out my Animal Crossing villager list, and am currently trying to think of a name for it. Anyway, let me just get this out of my system.

My top 10 villagers that I'd love to have on my island:

1. Celia

2. Stella

3. Raymond

4. Marshal

5. Ione

6. Fauna

7. Diana

8. Ankha

9. Blaire

And last but not least,

10. Ed

Though, if I don't get Stella, I'd take Vesta.

And I know that several of these are rare/highly coveted villagers. But I did my personality/temperament checks, I've got this thing plotted, and I am more than ready to start.

I just gotta get the game first, and I can't convince myself to buy it because I have student debt to repay. Not loans, but actual "can't go to another school until I pay this off" debt.

I'm trying to think of an occasion where I could that wouldn't make me feel guilty.

[tatsumamimaki]

Here’s some shenanigans from the past few months on Animal Crossing New Horizons! Pinky can be a bit out of pocket sometimes but I have a soft spot for her. While I believe Nate is missing a few brain cells but he’s a great friend and always makes everyone smile. I can’t begin to explain how freaking happy I am that Stella finally decided yesterday it’s her time to go. After I got rid of what I like to call her brother Curlos from months of torturing him and being an outright asshole, I was devastated to see Stella be a replacement. But thankfully she will be gone now. As for my favorite villager CoCo, my wife; SHES JUST SO DAMN CUTE!!! I wasn’t able to get a screenshot of it but she’s now calling me pumpkin after have been calling me cupcake. Nearly everyone on the island asked if they could call me cupcake but I refused, letting it be only her nickname for me. Tomorrow is also CoCo’s birthday so I’ve been hunting for the perfect gifts for her! Who are your favorite and least favorite villagers?
