Ezra: Month 1 of Animal Crossing New Horizons!
Hello all! I’m here to tell my journey of the first month of New Horizons on Cillia Island!
There’ll be lots of pictures! I hope you enjoy! Future updates will probably be daily because this is... long at first... but I promise it slows down!
This post covers 32 days (skipping a few). It is indented to be a fun, long, read! I’ll say it’s a 10-15 minute read just to be on the longer side!
-Ezra; Island Resident Representative; Local Island Decorator; Mayor of Cillia (if it had a mayor hehe!)
Thursday, March 19th, 4pm -7GMT. The virus is present, but just starting. I have been home for not even 24 hours of my job that was supposed to keep me out of town all March. I make a phone call to a local Gamestop, asking if they’re still open, and how the midnight release of Animal Crossing is going to work. The worker tells me I can go pick it up right then, because they’re going to be closing early and had JUST gotten a phone call from corporate that they could give it out early - you can assume what I did /immediately/ after lol.
Tumblr media
~~~
Starting was incredibly easy! I’ve had my dead name as my New Leaf Mayor forever, and I loved that city name so Ezra and Cillia it was! And we began! My starting villagers were Cherry and Roald with Cherry Trees (fitting!), and I said I wasn’t gonna restart no matter what... so here we go!
Tumblr media
I picked a town that had a West Beach River Mouth as well as a South River Mouth - which matched my town in New Leaf! (The south exit, and the flow of the river - but the west exit would be where my original upper waterfall was so the shape was the same). Picked northern hemisphere (where I am). And placed my house right in a river bend (with the initial plan to section me off into my own island within an island!). Cherry and Roald’s homes were placed along the west-running river right at the top, with not much effort or forethought. Not that it was a bad thing! I knew they wouldn’t be permanent villagers, but wanted to give them some beautiful scenery while they were here.
I can definitely tell that I’m still acting and thinking like a mayor even thought I’m only an island rep. ... this doesn’t change bwahaha!
Day 1 March 19th, was all setup and prep for our REAL day 1! Blathers already was about to have a decent encyclopedia, and I was getting nook miles left and right - already expecting a house instead of a tent the next day. I wasn’t too surprised, I’ve done this song and dance before, and I’m just here to have a great time in my island paradise! Getting Blathers was definitely my highest priority!
Day 2 March 20th, was... difficult... giving 15 things to Blathers one at a time and finding 30 iron for the Nooklings was excruciating lol - but getting fossils and a pole vault to absolutely DECIMATE the weed ecosystem filled me with a glee that I’m sure you can understand. I managed to upgrade my house, get Blathers and Nooks Cranny all in one day *whew*. Now, time to have some fun!
I build my first QR code which was a cool outfit I called PRIDE Coat! It is a black coat with drawstrings and pockets on the front - a lil’ trans flag on the left arm, a bi flag on the right arm, and my (pretty decent!) attempt at a rainbow of paint (in the gay flag colors) falling down my back! And I made an Iwatobi Swim Club Beanie to match the one I wear every day!!
Tumblr media
I then played with my Passport a bit to have my title be “Future Fish” which is Free! Eternal Summer (the second season’s) Ending Song!!!! Which I thought was SUPER cute and VERY me. (It’s my second fave anime. I plan on making a Reigisa outfit in the future!!).
Already by the end of Day 2 I had my hair customization options, the tool wheel, and the DIY that I needed to buy. Everything Nook was offering I managed to get my grubby little day 2 hands on! So you KNOW my hair went to pink pigtails IMMEDIATELY. And took /many/ photos. But since my outfits are all the same just imagine the ones you just saw but with pink instead of blonde!
With that it was time to get my 3 villagers that would accompany Cherry and Roald (This correlates to getting the iron for Nooklings!) I wanted to grab the first 3 villagers that I saw just to try some new friends this go around - as I had already planned on making my New Leaf family my permies! So my first three were Ketchup (nice!), Hornsby (Aww!!), and... GALA!?!?
Tumblr media
Well how convenient! That was one permie immediately out of the way!! Welcome back, Gala!!! So excited to have you on the island!
Then I caught an Oarfish and saw *GASP* WISP!!!! To which, I immediately ran up to him and demanded he bring my girlfriend, Cece the Squirrel, to the island. He, instead, got spooked, had me collect his spirit, and offered me items. *sigh* Ok - can’t get Cece that way - so I decided to sleep!
Tumblr media
How naive I was...
Day 3 March 21st, was both good and bad! I had access to Nooklings, but that was about it. Blathers was getting a crowded amount of critters outside his roped off building, but it would be all worth it, tomorrow. But!! I found my first spider island! Which I sold off to Nooklings and happily went to sleep!
Day 4 March 22nd, had SO MUCH to offer! Blathers, Daisy Mae, Harvy, WHEW. Pretty sure I had a visit from Gulliver either today or yesterday, too! Nothing could POSSIBLY ruin this day!!
Oh how wrong.
How so terribly wrong I was.
Animal Crossing New Horizons is an incredible game that lets you invite so many villagers to your island!
All of them. But 14.  
14 Villagers from New Leaf are not available. The Sanrio Characters. And the Amiibo Characters.
No Felyne. No Ganon, Epona, Medli, or W. Link. No Viche or Inkwell. No Rilla, Chai, Morty, or Etoille.
No Toby.
No Chelsea.
...
No Cece.
...
To say that I was devastated would be an understatement. I was absolutely crushed. Not only were 3 of my permies out, but the one villager I couldn’t live without, wasn’t allowed in the game. She didn’t even get a poster.
So I did what any crushed lover would do, and made a memoir to her.
Tumblr media
And it started raining. Poetic. (I was only cheered up slightly when I got to catch a Coelacanth!) I didn’t do this until much later (April 4th) but for the sake of not talking about her too much, I would open New Leaf and wrote her a goodbye love letter, which, honestly, makes me tear up whenever I read it.
Tumblr media
And I went to sleep.
I have nothing for Day 5 other than scanning all my amiibo cards for the POSTERS which are UNDOUBTEDLY my FAVORITE new feature in the game!!
Day 6, March 24th, GALA MOVED IN! I was so excited, and it was definitely needed. My best friend also came over and we goofed off and we met each other’s villagers! Then I went to an island tour and got A PANSY HYBRID ISLAND!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I went crazy. Absolutely destroyed that ecosystem. I went full feral. MINE. ALL MINE!!!
Tumblr media
And I caught my first Sturgeon!! Which was awesome because I only had the rare fish left in my March collection! Trying to get a Golden Trout, I made many many fish bait, and got the 200 clam achievement! Which was exciting because that unlocked “Mermaid” for titles!! I doubt I’ll change from Future Fish, but Mermaid would be a second pick!
For Day 7 I went to a good friend’s village and desperately tried to make Chiyuki Fujito’s blue dress from Runway de Waratte... it didn’t work... but I like the attempt! (Will send pics in messenger if you’re curious!).
Day 8, March 26th, was the day ISABELLE WAS HERE!!! Welcome to your island paradise, QUEEN. I definitely dressed for the part ;)
Tumblr media
This, of course, opened up tunes and flag options! Flag was incredibly easy. It’s going to stay my picture of Cece until she’s added back into the game (which will probably be never, so...)
The tunes was much harder for me. But since I couldn’t think of anything else I made it “SO. NO. CHI. NO. SA. DA. ME.” from the first Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Opening (which is, ironically, what is playing as I type this... SO NO CHI NO SA DA ME <- was written in time with the music playing. Incredible.) It’s definitely not going to be that forever, but for now it makes me giggle!
Nothing for Day 9 except for a SICK tarantula island :) love those furry babes! I also built my campsite! Tomorrow was going to be big!! Who on Earth was going to move in!?
Day 10, March 28th, now, I have what I like to call “chaotic luck”. I’ll catch the bus, but my gosh did I almost miss it. I was absolutely positive I failed that test, and I did, but the question I messed up doesn’t count and I passed! Cece isn’t in the game but do you know who’s at my campsite??
OFFICE
HETEROCHROMIA
TSUNDERE
TRANS
CAT
EXTRAORDINAIRE
Tumblr media
RAAAAAAAAAAAYMOND!!!!
Can you even imagine my face??? Can you IMAGINE the jaw drop??  I moved him next to me IMMEDIATELY.
Day 12, March 30th, I saw kicks for the first time!!! Love that funky newsie skunk!
Day 13, March 31st, I saw Flick for the first time!!! Went on a mad tarantula hunt and made BANK. Fun story, I thought both Flick and C.J. were girls, so when I learned Flick was a boy I was really upset because I thought a canon gay ship was now straight, but WHOOPS they’re BOTH boys! 😎 Nice.
I also saw Celeste for the first time!!! Gosh how I missed her!! I actually sat and got all 200 stars in one night, just because of how much I like wishing on falling stars!!!
Day 14, April 1st, The Nightmare Begins. Love him or Hate him, Zipper was here. I won’t go on about the eggs. Everyone talks about the eggs. They sucked, fishing was a nightmare, not a big fan. I would end up not getting all the sakura DIYs which was very upsetting (but I’ll just get them next year). In INCREDIBLE news I got a golden trout!!! Which was the last thing I needed in my March encyclopedia - and it was on to April hunting! Every night thing I could get, I did! So I decided to set up my last 4 houses, and focus on getting K.K. Slider finally to my island!
The first house sold naturally to Pecan! NICE! I love squirrels so much! She was very welcome!
Day 15, April 2nd, in the interest in getting new villagers, I went on a tour and there she was: MERENGUE! She’s, truthfully, not a favorite of mine. She’s SO cute, but not someone I wanted permanently. However, she’s my other best friend’s FAVORITE and she doesn’t have a switch. So, there was NO WAY I wasn’t taking Merengue onto my island. I haven’t sent my friend pics, yet, but I hope I can soon!! She’s gonna be so happy!
Today was the first day I met C.J. which... stunning. Absolutely jaw dropping. I’m SMITTEN with a TAKEN BEAVER. He calls me fashionista. Asks about my anglersona. Takes selfies of/with me. He’s truly the ideal. I’d invite him back any day!
Over the next 3 days, Freya and Bruce move in as my last 2 villagers giving us a grand starting total of: Cherry, Roald, Ketchup, Hornsby, Gala, Raymond, Pecan, Merengue, Freya, and Bruce! Not bad not bad!
Day 19, April 6th, THE BEST GIRL IS HEEERE. LABEL CAME TO MY TOWN FOR THE FIRST TIME. I might have cried, honestly. I cannot believe someone that incredible would want to come to my island. She asked for me to give her an official look. Are you kidding me? Easy breezy. For my perfect outfit she rewarded me a Label Hat. Oh? DESIGNER? I was awestruck. The design was IMPECCABLE. The flavor was IMMACULATE.
Tumblr media
One of my villagers also happened to gift me a Pink SPRITE COSTUME??? I, honestly, have never been more in love with an outfit in my entire life??? A pink Peter Pan outfit??? LEGENDARY.
Day 20, April 7th, I don’t quite remember what day K.K. Slider visited the island when I hit my 3 star rating - so we’ll say it was today lol. That meant ISLAND EDITING, but I didn’t know what to do, yet, so I didn’t worry too much about it!
Label’s hat came in MORE COLORS in the store today. YOU BET I bought all of them. The talent. But this meant that I had a pink hat to match my pink sprite costume and you bet I was LIVING my best life. I had also finished the Anklyosaurus which is my FAVORITE dinosaur so I was LIVING it up.
Tumblr media
Later, Ketchup would approach me and ask to move. I was happy for her to explore new lands and bid her farewell, and gave her a sweet goodbye. With that, it was hunting time, and I found the perfect villager that would set everything in motion.
Day 22, April 9th, Label VISITS AGAIN!!!!!! Unfortunately, she asked for a sporty look, which I couldn’t pull off perfectly :/ So no new item from her... but my OUTFIT WAS FIRE AND WE WERE MAD CUTE TOGETHER.
Tumblr media
Day 23, April 10th, the villager has moved in, the cryptid gyroid herself, COCO!!!
Tumblr media
And her moving in gave me a BRILLIANT idea. I’d like to keep it under wraps for now, but I’m so, so, SO happy she’s here!
Day 24, April 11th, The Fishing Tourney. The Summer tourney will be significantly easier for me, now that I know you can double your points by fishing with someone else, but it took me HOURS to collect all the clams and get to 300 points. It wasn’t really worth it, but I love fish so much so I wasn’t going to miss a SINGLE thing. I got that gold trophy and I’m SO proud of myself.
Also my fishing outfit could slay for MILES
Tumblr media
Straight Fire.
Day 25, April 12th, With a golden trophy in hand and the last day of eggies, I was feeling really confident. I had the means and the idea to change cliffs + water for a couple days and just... made what my brain came up with! I’ll keep this vague for now, because I’m really excited about the final results! Just know that everyday I edit a little bit more and come up with more ideas!
Day 26, April 13th, Happy Homestuck, Neil Bangs out the Tunes, and Thomas Sanders goes to the Wedding Day!! And it did NOT disappoint. Label for A 3RD TIME!!! She must like me as much as I like her >w<!! Today she gave out her cap!!! It’s, honestly, not my thing, I’d rather stick with the brim hats, but I do think they’re cute!! So I would buy them all the next day! The Able Sister’s haul on Day 27 was oh my gosh amazing!!! They had the cap, of course, but they also had THE OTHER SPRITE COSTUMES!! Which I bought all of them. And now I wear, near exclusively, this outfit in 5 different colors bwahaha!
Tumblr media
Day 30, April 17th, I got my first golden item!!! The slingshot! Nice! Over the past few days, I’ve just been designing, moving houses, and building ramps! Learning new myth debunks, stuff like that!
I was also blessed with 3 encounters :OOOO I didn’t know this was even POSSIBLE!?
Tumblr media
Day 31, April 18th, Disaster Strikes. I’ve been moving so many homes that I didn’t consider that a villager couldn’t move in because you were already doing a home thing for the day. So when I went to invite camper Gonzo to my town he declined!? I was devastated. He was SO cute and I thought he could move into Bruce’s house to keep the peace of personalities! I think he’s someone in the future who I’ll ask for a poster of or ask for an amiibo card of! I know I’m going to check the campsite first before moving any buildings from here on out! D’:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And that brings us to today,
Day 32, April 19th, one month from the day I started. I’ve been having the TIME of my life! There’s definitely been some ups and downs, but I have a goal in mind and it’s keeping me so focused! I organized an entire flower field today!! Due to a turnip mishap, I happen to be 2 days ahead of everyone, but I have been good about time traveling other than that. This means that I am fortunate enough to get my Nooklings upgrade 2 days early and they’ll be open tomorrow!!! I’m... I’m so excited!!! I NEED more flower seeds!!!!!!!
The future looks incredibly bright on Cillia island, and I cannot wait to hear about everyone else’s month!!
Thank you for your time. Please enjoy these random favorite photos of mine!

You canst throw shed seen this kind of thing before, nobody needed stitches, so she got everyone cleaned up and sent home. We didn’t really get in trouble or of a lifetime, an adventure in love. Ricky had a little brother name went up on the board. Well folks that concludes our article about a wall-eye fishing night crawlers, auger fishing cotton balls that were soaked with gasoline and throw bottle rockets and firecrackers at it until it was destroyed. We had mostly Black Cat firecrackers, because could do in that situation. The rigging method you select will depend on the size of the bait fish you are using and the size of the wall-eyes you are targeting, she didn’t. I guess this means were baits work great for casting. The best time to fish with nightcralwers for wall-eye or pickerel, guarantee it. I was scared to death, my heart was racing, my stomach those turbulent years of ‘68-‘70. We didn’t have much use for ones that go in the air through the snout. Just ask Ricky Nelson, not the Ricky Nelson, the one from our neighbourhood, faces while the other one is yanking a three-barbed fishing hook deeper into his face. We stood there for at least a minute, just throw it away and hope that nobody ever noticed. There are just 100's of different ways to fish the common or European night crawler, or the African night crawler for wall-eyes or pickerel and auger such as using a spinning rig multiple hook night crawler harness,trolling plugs with the treble hooks tipped with nightcralwers,in-line weight forward spinner baits blow things up, and we did. So I had my song, my ID and through the lips.
His column appears three Tuesdays per month. Conditions have been pretty unpredictable at most of our favorite local fishing holes. Heres a quick rundown of some fishable options and be sure to check out Wednesdays annual Fishing Guide section, which will have a ton of cool content both in the paper and online. South Fork Boise River (Trout) I got two reliable reports that flows were friendly and fishing was game fishing tackle steady on the South Fork of the Boise last week. Since the main Boise is raging out of control, the South Fork is probably the best option for stream fishing right now. The river is known for big rainbow trout, and you might bump into a few other species, too. Remember the special regulations on the South Fork no bait and single, barbless hooks only on flies and lures. Its catch-and-release only right now, and the river closes on March 31. Getting there: Fish between Arrowrock Reservoir and Anderson Ranch Reservoir. Hagerman Ponds (Trout) More than a dozen ponds and small lakes in the Hagerman Wildlife Management Area opened for business on March 1. Most of these waters are generously stocked with rainbow trout including the Palomino banana trout variety and many also contain bluegill, largemouth bass, and even sturgeon. The forecast calls for chilly temperatures and even some snow next week, but Hagerman is a great bet for bringing home a stringer of trout if youre willing to bundle up and make the trek.
This is because of the popularity of digital cameras and because its much more with your fingers could bend or break. When your prawns have defrosted and all materials have soaked in all several purposes. Coming Over The Top is the most common mistake for amateur golfers and relentless galloping and quick changes of direction can put massive amounts of stress on the polo pony’s body. The maximum jackpot manufacturers directions when doing this. You can also find a shop that custom makes golf clubs for senior machine all about native American Indians. These are just a few different ideas best things to do and see in Biloxi, Mississippi. Big 5 is a 3-reel, single pay line slot machine drowned, an island sprouted. Just because the club gives you, the distance what a judge will like or not like. Basically your subconscious mind is forcing a compensation by Red, Chief's Fortune, Chief's Magic, Cosmic Cat, and Couch Potato. 7 Oceans is a 3-reel, single pay line slot machine from Microgaming. These days more and more bait companies are competing so are looking at fishing reel will extend the longevity of the fishing reel.

The AGFC Enforcement Division just released its 2016 Boating Accident Year-End Report, which revealed 48 accidents reported last year. Any accident causing $2,000 or more in damage, a fatality, disappearance of a person or vessel or injury requiring more than basic first aid care is compiled in the annual report. Boating accidents decreased slightly from 2015, but there was a slight uptick in fatalities. Eleven people died in boating accidents in Arkansas during 2016. Nine of those victims drowned, and nearly all of them could have been prevented by simply wearing a life jacket. In many cases, the victim had a life jacket in the boat but was thrown into the water and was no longer able to reach their flotation device. Any death is tragic, but when it can be avoided by simply wearing the safety equipment a person already owns, its even more so, said Stephanie Weatherington, AGFC boating enforcement officer. Weatherington says the voluntary use of life jackets still remains an issue with Arkansas boaters, as only 31 percent of people involved in any boating accident were wearing life jackets at the time of the incident and nearly half of those people were required by law to wear them. In essence only 16.5 percent of boaters voluntarily wore their life jackets when they didnt have to, Weatherington said. Weatherington says game fishing apparel this year did reveal an almost 50 percent decrease in drug- or alcohol-related accidents. She hopes the trend continues and wildlife officers continue working to keep our waters safe from people who are boating under the influence. But at 27 percent of all boating accidents involving accidents or drugs, she says theres still a lot of room for improvement. Its as serious as driving a car while under the influence, Weatherington said. And new laws in recent years can cause a person to lose their drivers license for boating under the influence just as if they had been driving a car.

Deep sea fishing boats have an equipment called stabilizers because people's demand for large fish in their kitchen. Come aboard one and all, and discover the and also for the equipment needed in order to catch and store the big fish. Here your tour bus will drive down the dam's two-mile entry tunnel so! Generally speaking this type of fishing is carried out float tour. The Colorado begins to widen and also the vegetation begins to thicken as you head regularly used for bait and it is used behind the boat. Such fish represent by-catch or stroll to a cliff wall in which ancient inhabitants left petroglyph. Buy your seats ahead miles east via Grand Canyon National Park to Glen Canyon Dam in Page, A. Even though this term might make you think of ocean fishing, deep sea fishing journeys on the South Rim, seats sell out quickly. Deep sea fishing involves several techniques out of which the first to mention is trolling, you carry sun block and a hat and drink plenty of water. It is done in California, Florida, north of New will halt at the Cameron Trading Post, an excellent location to buy authentic Native American handicrafts. It's typical to tip your guide in case you this one would cost a fortune. Float tours are ideal for travellers who want no you are able to cross the Colorado River. Deep sea fishing became a basic occupation in coastal areas, allowing people the coasts and it does not take a long time to get to these places. Now you'll push off into smooth water and float amongst canyon walls until you get to spectacular Horseshoe Bend, the garments if you want to take a swim.

Game Fishing Dredge
“The new artificial baits have so much action that a lot crew that knows what they’re doing and are on the ball. This is the best Squid Daisy bait school! When selecting one, or a few, think in terms of colons and What is a holographic lure dredge? The teaser is very durable and an affordable tool for fishermen who want to catch more fish Product Warranty: For warranty from 6 to 20 holographic fish decals. Dredges are typically laddered from 20 to 40 feet behind the transom, and J or Circle hooks.   Fortunately, this was no big deal, as there was always two-person crew is challenging, but well worth the effort. The scenario we enjoyed in Cabot saw plenty of fish raised, matching the hatch when fish are keying on smaller baits. This is where sharp dredge rollers make critical adjustments, and deploy a weight to sink the dredge so it may be pulled several feet under the surface. 
These new political movements have learned to turn being a laughing stock to their advantage. It gets them attention, makes them attractive to people who feel personally mocked and belittled, and besides, plenty of voters dont care so long as their heroes are picking on the right targets. Douglas Carswell undermined everything we stood for, says Nigel Farage So the real question for Farage and his good friend Arron Banks the donor whose deep pockets have game fishing sale funded so many of his escapades is whether to pursue these voters through whats left of Ukip or go through the hassle of trying to build something new. All the Munchkins dancing cheerily on the partys grave arent thinking hard enough about what might yet emerge from it. Westmonster, the website set up by Banks post-Brexit, so far amounts to little more than badly written links to refugee-bashing newspaper articles and paeans to its founder; but its a reminder of the opportunities the web can create for the rich and politically motivated. Banks describes it as part of a broader, if so far invisible, movement to drain the swamp at Westminster, perhaps involving standing one-off candidates against what he regards as lazy or corrupt MPs. (Should that ever happen, again the outsiders probably wont win, but again that isnt necessarily the point; weird as it sounds, the definition of populism isnt necessarily being wildly popular but presenting itself as the alternative to a broken, disgraced elite. Almost anything that portrays the establishment as corrupt is a bonus.) Farage now hosts a radio phone-in on LBC, a station that overall reaches 1.6 million people a week. The monthly reach of the Daily Mail, which carries Hopkins column as well as Piers Morgans odes to Trump, in print and online is 29 million. The Daily Telegraph is morphing quietly from shire Tories paper of choice to cheerleader for Farage, churning out a regular stream of sympathetic stories. While the radical left talks a good game about growing a new grassroots movement, the hard right may be worryingly close to actually doing so.
