[ellemant]

@onsweetpeahill Some screens of The Witch of Fern Island! It's a beautiful open world and it's very big lol I have the best time walking around, exploring it.

Edit to add: if TS4 had an open world like this, it would be the most fun.

Hi everyone, this was a mistake on my part! The Kane Chronicles are not supposed to be here as they were in the last competition. Any votes for them will be counted as "see results" votes when it comes to calculated if any books are outright eliminated, and if they end up winning, second place will be taken instead.

ACNH island themes list I want to do but I probably won’t:

(posting it here in case maybe some of you will like any of those ideas and you need some inspiration)

1) Uzumaki - Junji Ito’s horrors inspired island. Dark abandoned-ish Japanese island with tons of Junji Ito references.

2) Gilneas - World of Warcraft themed island inspired by eponymous location. Rainy, dark academia/gothic aesthetic. Red roses only. Wolf villagers only.

3) Old Town - Sims 1 themed island. It’s just a towncore, but the layout is imitating sims 1 map and villagers should look like townies/NPCs (ex. Marlo - Mortimer Goth, Pietro - Tragic Clown, Ribbot - Servo, etc). I almost done this one, but I got bored lol.

4) Area 51 - obvious from the name, lol. Nevada inspired desert island, with all the UFO themed items hidden here and there.

5) Fern - Dark Academia + forestcore + witchcore island. Dark Academia central area that includes all the main buildings + 6 villagers houses. The rest of an island is a dark forest with 4 villagers houses + player’s house spread across the forest as witches houses.

before falling asleep i asked my angels to help release subconscious blocks in my dreamstate :

The dream started with being back in Canada on the tiny PNW island i used to live. Whenever i dream of it it always looks different & more narrow than how it looked irl but in dreams it's always the same. Went back to my boss at my old job and asked if i could work for her, she was so glad to have me back vs. Many other dreams where she's been upset with me for leaving

She said a witch had cursed her business by talking badly about her to everyone on the island but now that i was there she felt confident enough to face the witch and redeem her reputation. So she took me to a "Healing Spring" in a cave

There were a few people inside, one of them was the witch, she had red hair (dyed), and she was smoking. My boss took off her clothes and had a bikini underneath But i was unprepared so i just got naked. We marched confidently into the spring which was pale green, murky with minerals, steaming

The witch was furious that we didn;t ask her permission to enter, and even moreso at our skimpy attire. She screeched and howled but we just sat there ignoring it. Some children in the spring (wearing wetsuits) remarked that they didn't understand the big deal because bodies are natural

All types of men from my past started showing up to the spring, trying to convince me to get out. It was all men who have used me, sexually objectified me, some of them downright cruel but some of them mostly harmless. They all had varying tactics to try and coax me out of the spring, they would taunt and tease me, say unkind things about my body. The whole time i just sat there unresponsive and smiling because they looked so stupid standing in the spring fully clothed.

Finally after everyone gave up and the witch admitted defeat we felt ready to leave the spring. I got dressed and went outside to wait for my boss who was talking to people & being congratulated. Outside the cave was a japanese arcade game machine. It was called "Lettuce Buddha Rumble" or something

Basically you took a plastic cup that had a little figure in the bottom which looked like a cross between a buddha & a head of lettuce. The machine played various happy hardcore/gabber/hardstyle type songs and you had to shake the cup to a certain rhythm, But not the rhythm you'd expect, it had to be slightly offbeat? If you were able to do this the machine would dispel golden coins which you'd catch in the cup

So i stood there in the forest surrounded by towering tall trees and ferns and moisture playing Lettuce Buddha Rumble, some people began to slowly gather around with their own Lettuce Buddha Cups (some of them customized all fancy), Others just danced doing hardstyle shuffles and whatnot. The song that was playing when i slowly woke up had the lyrics "I Am Alive, I Am Alive I Am Alone" and it took me a good few minutes of awakening to realize none of that was real.

i actually felt pretty sad when the illusions faded out, it was so fun, playing with everyone.. it was only like 5am when i woke up but for a while i couldnt get back to sleep because of the song still playing in my head

Overall the dream had strong themes of water and the color green. So i'm thinking heart chakra, love, emotions. Probly where many of my subconscious blockages lie

[ellemant]

While I was exploring the beach, I noticed an enormous flying whale in the sky. The locals told me its a flying Malamu. They love it but some are afraid of what would happen if it fell from the sky!

I decided to climb the lighthouse to get a better view of the island in the evening light.

And soon discovered that the lighthouse is the best place to see the Malamu up close. It was so beautiful!

Fic writer asks 18 and 24 for which witch?

Oooh 👀

18. If you wrote a sequel to [insert fic], what would it involve?

Definitely would love to explore Fern and Johnny’s relationship. Probably would expand more on the Isle and of course, address her parents. I imagine he would have to tell her eventually and she’d be devastated but also fuming that he withheld it, after everything.

Oh. And Jet. The cat that’s very much not a cat.

24. Are there any easter eggs in [insert fic], and if so, what are they?

Eilean is actually a manifestation of the Isle, or rather she is the Isle. Her name comes from Eilean Ban, which is a small island off the coast of the Isle of Sky. It’s mentioned how the Isle can/has rejected others, and that very few are able to actual step foot on it.

“My home is alive.” He told your sleeping form, words quiet as he watched for any sign of you waking. “The place where my home is built, where I was born. The Isle. She chooses, who can stay, who can make their life there. She is a complex thing, a wild thing. Like you.” You twitched, and he paused, holding still as he waited.

This is why Johnny is so apprehensive watching Fern and Eilean in the garden.

“Eilean walks with you in the garden. He tries not to watch too closely, warily waiting for something to happen, for a decision to be made that he will not be able to fight, no matter how hard he tries. She delights you, when she shows you how to sow your magic into the fabric of Faerie, how to connect with Isle as you connect with the earth of your home realm.”

Thess vs All Those Damn Games

Like I said, I am very much intending on weeding through the unplayed games in my Steam library the next little while. ...Okay, at least partly because there are more games I intend on buying Real Soon Now (TM) and I'd rather know which of the ones in my ever-expanding library are ones I can't play, don't like, or will explore further, maybe, if I feel like it. Which is why I've added a new Steam collection to my library - it is titled "Meh". It's for games I don't hate but which aren't a priority, either because slightly dicky controls (but not enough to stick them in the "Nope" collection), frustrating in some other way, or just not really my thing. I've actually got through a fair few now. Shame a fair few ended up in the "Meh" collection, though some got into one I just titled "A Further Look", which is for games that I like but don't need to keep playing right now. (Yes, I am getting obsessively organised. I just don't like going through my list not remembering if I played that or what I thought of it when I did. So there you go.)

The Witch of Fern Island: I liked it until I got to the town hub. It's a bit large for my tastes. In a farming / life sim, I don't want to spend half my time wandering around town searching for people. It's way easier in places like Stardew Valley or Wylde Flowers. I think these guys got too ambitious. Into the "Meh" pile with you.

Syberia: ...Won't work if you have dual screens and/or aren't at really low resolutions. You are hereby banished to NOPE.

Nanotale: How come a fucking typing game ends up in my Favourites? Don't I do enough of that at work?!?

West of Loathing: Okay, this one's just fun. That one's a thanks to my friend Brian for a) introducing me to this and b) I think throwing them at my head the other Christmas.

Deponia: ...When I get frustrated at the puzzles and really dislike the main character? Meh.

Dordogne: This one's cute. The mechanics are a little fiddly, though. It's in the "A Further Look" collection now.

Raji - An Ancient Epic: This one's great, but a little fiddly for everyday. So into the "A Further Look" collection it goes.

Citizen Sleeper: Looks interesting but I can't deal with Crapsack Future right now - the present's bad enough. Into "A Further Look" with you.

Sort of out of order, but whatever. Also I have a couple of more to add to the list, because I got into a conversation with somebody on Reddit where I recommended them Spiritfarer and they recommended me some interactive story where the first chapter's free so I should have a look at that.

Meantime, I have to go out and do errands. And Stuff. Lots of Stuff. I'm honestly just glad it's the weekend, and that next week's my last work week before a much-needed week off. I can weed through more of the unplayed games in my library, and probably do more errands but we won't think about that just at the moment. I just want some damn relaxation for once.
