Animal Crossing is taking over my life. Everything I do revolves around the game these days. Even when I see a bug in real life, my brain instantly tries to work out how many bells that bug is worth. If only I carried a net with me in real life too.

I have now nearly clocked 200 hours of Animal Crossing: New Horizons gameplay and I don’t intend on stopping anytime soon.

Animal Crossing Island Getaway Tag

Q1. What is your island called? Why did you pick that name?

My island is called Emporium. I wanted to call it something to do with Harajuku in Japan but I share a Nintendo Switch with Simon so we have to share an island which meant we had to think of a joint island name.

The name comes from a shop on Main Street USA in Disneyland Paris. It’s one of the shops that Simon and I spend the most time in so the name just felt right.

Q2. Share a picture of yourself on your island.

Picking just one would be impossible so here are two because I have no self-control…

Getting changed everyday is one of my favourite things to do so I often take Animal Crossing ‘selfies’. It’s pretty fun and I get to show my outfits to everyone too.

Q3. What hemisphere did you choose? Is it the hemisphere you are actually in?

I choose to start my game in the northern hemisphere and I live in the UK in real life.

Q4. Who is your current favourite resident? Who would be your ultimate dream resident?

My current favourite resident is Billy. He is a jock villager which isn’t my usual favourite type but I couldn’t help but fall in love with him. He’s always walking around and doing some weight lifting, it’s super cute. He’s often eating doughnuts too which is slightly weird but makes me love him more.

My dream resident would be Rosie. She is super cute and she has the same name as my childhood teddy bear so I’m slightly bias.

Q5. What can you not do on your island that you wish you could?

This is a super easy one for me to answer. I wish I could have my own island! As much as sharing an island has perks, it definitely has more disadvantages. I would love to just have my own island instead. Not sure why Nintendo is making everyone who shares a switch, share an island..?!

Q6. Favourite season in game and why?

Since we have only had Spring so far, I’m going to go with that because the cherry blossoms were beautiful. However, I am super looking forward to Autumn because I love the colours and I’m hoping for pumpkin patches everywhere.

Q7. If you played New Leaf, what do you miss from that game that you wish had been taken to New Horizons?

I can’t think of anything in particular that I would bring across games. I feel like New Horizons is a combination of all the best parts of previous games anyway.

Q8. Favourite KK Slider song?

My favourite KK Slider song is Bubblegum but I got the K.K. Rock song today and now I can’t stop listening to that one instead.

Q9. Favourite non resident character?

I absolutely love Celeste. Not only is she super cute but she loves shooting stars and she is an owl. For those of you who don’t know, owls are super special to me as they were my Nana’s favourite animal.

Thank you so much to Estelle for tagging me in this tag that she made. It was so much fun to answer these questions. Don’t forget to check out Estelle’s post!
