As Halloween draws nearer, I would like to invite you all to come visit Rosedew Island and experience the autumn season in our cozy little community ... and maybe get a fright!
For two and a half years now, the residents of Rosedew have been hard at work building a happy little town on what we at first believed to be a deserted island. However, strange rumors have been circulating lately about mysterious old structures appearing out of nowhere just outside of town! Where did all these warning signs come from? Whatās with the glowing moss? Why, at night, are the lights on in the old, abandoned manor on the hill to the north-east?
... Is there something Coco isnāt telling us?
Features of interest: - A comfy town with a focus on environmentalism and upcycling - All villager houses are customized to reflect the charactersā lives - Slimy, dank nature just beyond the townās borders - Environmental storytelling anywhere I could fit it in/come up with something - A spooky story lurking just beneath the islandās cheery surface! - At the heart of the story: a fully upgraded and customized old manor! - My own house has nothing to do with the story, but itās still pretty cute!
Come to Rosedew, soak in the small-town atmosphere, and see if you can piece together the clues to the islandās sordid past!
Dream address: DA-7118-7118-7898
Note: As certain visual and story elements of this island may be distressing to some players, Iāve put a list of content warnings under the cut, just in case someone needs it. Beware of spoilers!
Content warnings: - Custom designs heavily featuring blood - Hospital/medical settings played for horror - Implications of severe illness and body horror - Death, grief and ghosts

anniversary pics, part 1/2!
hey everyone, itās been a while! I had a small unplanned ACNH break during fall and winter, but Iām back for the one year anniversary of the game - and of Rosedew island!
to celebrate, I took all my villagers to harvās island to a remote spot for a little party and took pics of everyone hanging out! I recently finished collecting all my favorite villagers, so everyone here is staying for good. the full list now includes:
Agnes - my first fav, whom I still love very much! weāre next door neighbors now and hang out every day! sheās been the primary victim of all the silliest catchphrases and greetings I could come up with, Iām sorry, Agnes, I love you
Jitters - the other half of my first pair, who actually moved away from my island for some months. I ended up missing him too much and wanted him back; fortunately @thenearsightedmicroraptor was kind enough to cycle through their move-in queue and lo and behold, Jitters was in there and I managed to move him back to Rosedew! Iām so glad I did, I love my boy, never should have let my boy go ;_; <33
Zucker, Marina and Dotty - my first trio of island villagers, still hanging out and doing weird stuff together. Marina and Dotty specifically keep being adorable near each other, which I take to mean their relationship is still going strong. my island would not be complete without tiny liddol lesbians
Quillson - the little bastard who forcibly moved himself onto my island without my permission, then kept ruining my nice scenic photos until I gave in and let him stay for good. weāre best friends now. heās my favorite villager alongside Agnes, unfortunately
Merengue, Diana and Coco - my prized Aesthetic Girls(tm) that I specifically wanted to find because Iād seen them on the internet and Needed To Have Them. Iām not going to admit the lengths I went to to get them. however, I will share my very good headcanon that Coco is Dottyās cousin. I like to imagine everyone on Rosedew had agreed that Dotty was a littleĀ haunted, but once they met her VERY haunted cousin, they were like nvm actually, Dotty is very normal, we know better now
Rasher - I met this messed-up looking senior citizen on an island randomly and I couldnāt not keep him. the interior of his house looks like a parking lot. I would die for Rasher. also, in the same way I want Coco to be Dottyās cousin, I want Rasher to be Agnesā uncle because they have a Lot in common haha
itās been a tough year, but ACNH has been a wonderful distraction, it couldnāt have come out at a better time! I love my little villagers so much and Iāve super enjoyed getting back into the game over this last month or two. hereās to another year of good times in animal crossing! <333

Hey Sketcher! How's your island doing? I found this blog after a long time and was reminded of it when I saw an Animal Crossing related video the other day. I hope you're doing well both irl and on your island, and that your villagers are doing okay too!
Hi there, anon! Iāve actually just been getting back into Animal Crossing over the last few weeks after having only played occasionally during the fall and winter months, so this ask is very relevant!
I recently got the last of the villagers Iāve been wanting on my island and the island itself is almostĀ āfinishedā (or rather, how I ideally want it to be right now - Iāll probably change it over time as I come up with new stuff, though), so Iām planning on updating this blog once Iāve taken a bunch of photos! Iām super excited about getting back into the game, so many new fun updates have happened while Iāve been gone!
I donāt know how often Iāll be updating this blog in the future, but aside from showing off my new villagers and everything Iāve built, I also at the very least want to do aĀ āRosedew: one year laterā update in early April - the sakura season is my favorite event, so I think it would be fitting to take a bunch of nice photos of my island during that time and share them with you all.
thank you for dropping by! hope youāre doing well too!! <33

some pics from when I first got Merengue a couple weeks back + some progress pics on some of my favorite yards!
I decided to leave everyoneās yards relatively compact so everyone can live close together, but I also wanted to make each yard look lived-in and unique to the villagersā interests! in order of appearance, thereās Merengueās yard (table, book and birdhouse), Agnesā yard (native plants and watering can), Dotty and Marinaās shared yard (table set, clothing hanger, birdbath), Zuckerās yard (on the left; brick oven and hammock), and Quillsonās yard (on the right; tulips and a small fountain). Iāve also worked on Pinkyās yard some, but I havenāt taken a picture of it yet. I think when Iāve finished everyoneās yards, Iām gonna take good pics in daylight of all of them and stickĀ āem in a post here on tumblr!

oof, I had a big olā unintentional break from posting on this blog for a while, sorry about that, friends! I havenāt had the energy to play much the last few weeks, but Iāve been getting back into the swing of things so Iāll start updating again. though Iām coming back with SAD NEWS
I found someone in a discord server Iām on who was giving away Merengue, and while I donāt normally time travel, Merengue is probably my favorite villager from an aesthetic perspective and I absolutely had to have her! so I time traveled for the first time in order to get one of my other villagers to move out so she could take their place.
sadly, no matter how many times I kept rolling the dice, Jitters was the villager who was the most determined to leave, and since Iād already made peace w the fact that I was most likely going to cycle him out at some point, I decided to let him go ... as long-time followers know, he was half of my first pair and I love him very, very much. if there were more spots on the island, I would have kept him for sure :(
but it was time for him to be free, and I decided to let him go. spent some quality time with him at the end wandering around the beach together in the rain, and so on. heās a sweet boy and he will be dearly missed!!
good luck out there, Jitters <33

miscellaneous things update! hereās whatās happeninā around the island:
- Graham finally decided to move out after a long ... LONG time of me trying to motivate him to pack his things and go. I unfortunately couldnāt find him a new home in time, but Iām sure heāll find a good home for himself out there in the world.
- after touring across many islands, I found Pinky and fell in love IMMEDIATELY. sheās so cute! I adore her!!! sheās been living on my island for a couple days now and Iām so happy I let her move in. this does mean that I have an overpopulation of peppy villagers on my island at the moment but I honestly donāt care, theyāre all incredibly sweet and lovely <3
- Iāve been decorating some more! I think the area around my house is turning out super pretty, getting access to flower bushes really made a big difference. I also made a little fountain area where I grow money trees, so itās like a wishing well! Drago seems to be a fan. and also, something thatās been in the works for a while - I made a little secret area where I set up a picnic date for Marina and Dotty. the record player is playing K.K. Love Song.
- finally, some of my villagers have started asking me to change their catchphrases! I foolishly made Agnes sayĀ ābabeā because ... itās a pig pun ... and she seems like the type whoād say that ... and now I regularly have to discourage my other villagers from picking it up. when both Dotty and Zucker asked me to come up with a phrase for them, I instead choseĀ ārosebudā for both of them, because I figure if itās gonna spread, I might as well make it thematically relevant to the island and also a pun that works for everyone.

animal crossing allowing me to pick custom greetings for my villagers was a mistake

the populated areas of my island are coming along wonderfully! both the upper and lower halves of the residential area are nearly finished, and Iāve finally properly started construction on the shopping district! so far, Nookās Cranny and the tailor shop have been moved to their proper locations, and Iāve set up a cafe and a little cinema. closer to the museum, Iāve also set up some little areas for learning! I imagine the villagers will regularly invite various science people to come give lectures on our island so we can learn some things.
during this whole process, Iām asking myself what Iād want to have on a deserted island if it was my real life ... so far Iām just missing a sushi bar lol
(I also designed the little movie poster for the cinema myself, Iāll probably rotate which posters will be up over time as different movies come and go)

a mixed update with various going-ons. there was a double rainbow over my island not too long ago, I got my very first lily of the valley (5 star island, baby!!!), Mr. Nook is trying to dispose of his enemies in a subtle fashion using the recycling box, and I FINALLY found roses!!!! HECK YEAH
now I just need to breed a whole bunch of pink roses <3
AND, in even more exciting news, we have a new friend on the island - after Pippy moved out, I found Drago on a miles island! Iād saved up a ton of miles, but he showed up on the first one ... slightly anticlimactic, but Iām extremely excited about having a mythical villager! welcome, Drago!

some more progress pics from my island! as you can see, Iāve gone absolutely ham on the terraforming. Iāve also started building my shopping district, though that oneās gonna take quite a while. and finally, I upgraded my house enough that I could change the exterior and I really like how it came out! cozy little cabin on the cliffs <3
I still have a lot more things planned, and I really want to add a lot of detail to the areas seen here as well, but Iām taking my sweet time and not grinding too much, so over time, the island will slowly but steadily become even prettier. itās so exciting to have a game thatās meant to be a long-term project, I love knowing that Iāll likely still be playing every day many months from now!

a handful of pics from the other day when @shtiyajust4you joined @thenearsightedmicroraptor and I for the first time!!! Raptor and I had some technical difficulties setting up the wifi in our apartment, but now it works and we can finally play with our other friends online!! <3
the two of them were kind enough to bring gifts for Agnesā birthday party also, which was the sweetest thing ... itās what she deserves
I hope weāll be able to play with even more friends soon!

decided to do another big villager-centric update, because Iāve been getting some wonderful dialogue lately. <3
among other things, Pippy decided to move out and I encouraged her. I do love her a great deal, but itās time for her to go out and see the world! I managed to find a person on an Animal Crossing discord server Iām a member of, who wanted to take Pippy in and give her a loving home, so thatās wonderful. Pippy is the first villager who has left my island, so there was a a bit of sadness surrounding her departure, but Iām sure sheāll be happy on her new island!
on the same day Pippy left, it also happened to be Agnesā birthday! I gave her a drum set and she was super happy!
I love all my little villagers so much ... and Iām very excited to introduce a very special villager who moved in after Pippy moved out. will update on that soon. >:3c
