Miku's Goal (AC Asks Part 4)

send an ask!

[asphalt-cocktail]

what would you do if you wake up one day and you see a mammoth in the kitchen cooking waffles with bacon and you go up to greet it and it runs away through your window destroying it and you eat the waffles and it tastes like the best thing you have ever eaten in your entire life so you put on a wizard costume and cry inside your bathtub and then you hear a noise from inside the sink and the mammoth comes out from the sink and hugs you

This is such a hyper specific question poupou. I think I would be upset it broke my windows and destroyed my house, but I would accepts it’s hug and apology

What made you want to become a Christian? I’ve been exploring the idea lately but I have a hard time finding a convincing argument for converting. Thanks in advance!

Hi gorgeous! Thank you for sending this question💗although I have to admit you’ve given me a heavy one!

I don’t know that I can provide you with a convincing argument, but I’ll tell some of my testimony and trust that the Lord will use it!

I grew up in a toxic home environment. By the time I was in middle school I was severely depressed and anxious. I had also found myself immersed in witchcraft/paganism as well as hyper sexual online communities. The internet is a dark place, as you probably know considering we’re on tumblr.

I was sexually exploited and groomed online by a man over 40 years old while I was in high school. Thankfully we never met in person or else I might not be able to write this. That was a breaking point for me. I self harmed, and eventually I was hospitalized for suicidal thoughts.

I dealt with all of these issues by suppressing them or just merely coping. Always moving on to the next tragedy.

I met my husband when I was 18, and his family were relatively new Christians. They went to church every Sunday. Every time I visited him (we were long distance) it was just a given that I’d go to church with him.

I spent every Sunday standing perfectly still during worship and trying not to cry because something in me was screaming, crying out. And then during the sermon I’d argue with the pastor in my head, and tell my boyfriend (now husband) how wrong it was afterwards. He prayed for me often, and one day it just clicked. I asked my husband if I could even become a Christian after everything I’d done. Everything I’d worshipped. He said yes, and the next Sunday I was there I gave my life to Christ. I cried like a baby haha.

I’m an all-in kind of gal. I can be obsessive about things. This translates well into learning everything I could for the first few months of my faith walk. I learned a lot about the Bible, about historical support for Jesus. I had heavy and deep discussions about things in the Bible that didn’t line up with my views at the time. I wasn’t judged for those things either! Praise God for good people around me.

This strengthened my truth-based faith. Then there was my spirit-based faith. Because we worship in spirit and in truth as the Bible says. God has healed me from so many of my issues. I was able to overcome my guilt and shame over the experience with the pedophile. I got to look back and see what was my fault and what wasn’t in my life, and then seek a new path of light. My anxiety has lessened, my depression as well. Things therapy and medications never did for me (please don’t think I’m discouraging these options. They can be helpful too). Prayer changed my life.

If you’re struggling to be “convinced” of Christ being who He says He is, I recommend doing what my husband did whenever he came to Jesus: find a pastor/knowledgeable Christian, and ask questions. You won’t know answers if you don’t ask!

This is a condensed version of the many testimonies I have to tell about Jesus. I’m always happy to share more. I’m an open book when it comes to the miracles Jesus has done in my life! I hope this helps you in some way. I hope you find what you’re looking for. Seek and you shall find, after all.

Know that Jesus loves you and so do I darling 💗

If I were to make a playlist for Alien Crossing, would you guys be interested in listening? Trying to decide if it’s worth making a Spotify account (aside from my personal one).

1, 4, 24 for the animal crossing ask meme!

1.  Are you of the “Tom Nook is a crook” or “Tom Nook is an honest businessman” opinion?

hm. i think he’s both. he’s fantastic in that he believes in housing for all, no questions asked but he also believes child labour is a-okay (unless the twins are 14 in which case he squeezes by into legality ig) so i think he’s good intentions, questionable execution

4.  Who were your first villagers?

Hazel and Leonardo! unless you count Pocket Camp in which case, Rosie

24.  Favourite villager personality?

i’m gonna sound like a basic bitch but Normal. They’re such sweeties and they don’t feel like they would be exhausting to be around. Like, I have 3 normal villagers atm (Stella, Chevre, and Sydney) and my most wanted villager atm is Sylvana and she’s normal as well <3

100 Days to Animal Crossing Challenge!

In the spirit of the countdown to New Leaf (remember when? :’) ), and to help  wile away the days, here’s 100 questions for every day until New Horizons is here! Enjoy!

1. Do you prefer making up a new name for your villager, or using your own name? I always name my villager after myself. I go for the immersion!

2. Do you use the first map you’re given, or do you reset for layouts? I used to reset for layouts, until I started hacking. In New Horizons, I'll just be resetting for fruit!

3. Do you use the face you’re given, or do you wait for guides and choose your favourite? I would look for guides. Even with hacking, it's easier to just start with the face you want.

4. Favourite town/island name?/Have you a name picked out for your town/island? My favorite town name that I've seen so far is Lunaire. I don't want to share my town name just yet. It's nothing revolutionary or anything but its personal I guess?

5. Will you be sharing with friends/family, or is your island going to be all your own? I will be having my own island! My husband will have his own island as well. He says we'll spend most of our time in my island though lol

6. What’s a new feature you’re excited about? T E R R A F O R M

7. Favourite fruit? Peaches!

8. Least favourite fruit? Pears!

9. Favourite area? (Beach, campground, shopping district etc, from any entry in the series.) My favorite place was the wishing well in ACPG. So cute and sweet. As much as I loved the plaza in ACNL, it's got nothing on the original!

10. Where do you like to like to put your house? Do you like that level of customization, or do you prefer to have some things decided, like in older entries? I like to put my house near waterfalls, its relaxing and good for fishing! I could never get my house near the water in older games, so it was a nice change in ACNL.

11. Favourite grass pattern? Personally, I never really notice the grass patterns!

12. Least favourite grass pattern? See #11 :v

13. Favourite villager/s? My fav villagers are Skye and Punchy 💕

14. Least favourite villager/s? I hate Elise the Monkey

15. Did you like doing Tom Nook’s chores, or did you find those to be a pain? I used to find them a pain as a kid but I miss them now. It was so much more engaging!

16. Favourite NPC/s? My fav would have to be KK. He's such a cool dude, he's just full of nostalgia for me.

17. Least favourite NPC/s? I don't really have a least favorite? I guess Katie's mom, her lipstick is tacky imo

18. Do you use paths? Are you excited about the new path tool? With hacking, I use clover paths so they're easier to see on the editor. I can't wait to have real paths, though!

19. Favourite feature from an older entry? The festivities! The neighbors were so much more engaged in ACPG, ACNL is sorta boring in comparison.

20. What was your first Animal Crossing game? My first was ACPG, the gamecube one!

21. Favourite activity (fishing, bug catching, fossil hunting, other)? Fishing was always exciting AND relaxing for me

23. Favourite bug? Even though I don't like these irl, snails hehe

24. Least favourite bug? Scorpions and tarantulas, only because I've almost never encountered them in ANY game

Idk if I'll use them right away and get all my favs or if I'll let my town naturally fill up and then switch folks out yet

53. Fishing Tourney or Bug-Off? Fishing Tourney, I like fishing more

54. Do you like making your own clothing patterns? I used to, but ACPC made me appreciate the already made in game clothes

55. Did you streetpass with many other ACNL players, or is it a feature you didn’t get much use of? I don't get much use out of it nowadays but I would always come back from conventions with a full showcase when I was younger

57. Least favourite villager species? Monkeys

58. Favourite nickname from a villager? I don't really remember the nicknames I got

62. Least favourite villager personality? Jock

63. Do you “plot reset” for villager house placement, or do you let them move in wherever they want? During my first playthrough of ACNL, I didn't. Then I started doing it when I learned about it. Then I started hacking!

64. Are you excited to wear any of the new accessories (like the bags etc shown in the E3 trailer)? ACPC sorta spoiled that stuff for me, they're still very much appreciated though

69. Which game’s events/holidays do you like least? Days like solstices, which just served as "Isabelle is unavailable" Days

70. Do you have another nice AC related memory you’d like to share (in-game, of the community, etc)? When ACPG came out, I was about 6. I had a DVD with those lame live action commercials and I was ENAMORED with them! Obsessed! I begged my parents for the game and they would hem and haw "well there's a lot of reading... you'll have to get better at reading... we won't always be able to help you read it..." and I swore up and down that I'd learn and practice reading. Obviously, nearly 20 years later, I'm still completely obsessed

71. Do you prefer the “live” versions of K.K. Slider’s Songs, or the airchecks? I like both but for different reasons. The live versions are nice and nostalgic and the air checks are closer to the aesthetic that they're actually trying to portray

72. An NPC you’d like to see more of? Farley and Serena!

73. An NPC you’d like to see less of? None in particular, everyone is pretty well designed imo

74. If you could have any piece of AC merchandise, which would it be? I once saw a cute bento box with pics from the movie, my soul died knowing I may never find it to buy anywhere

75. Only 25 days left to go! How’s the wait? Still numb!

76. Will you be downloading the game, or getting a physical copy? I'm getting a physical copy and my husband is getting a digital, so he can't be tempted to sell it!

77. Do you like coming up with your own town tune/flag, or using what the game gives you/something from a book/tv show/other game, etc? I like doing a sort of japanese "end of school" bell for my town tune, only for the town clock. Idk how I'm gonna do it in this game though...

78. Do you play every day, or every other day/when you feel like it/other? I used to play ACNL everyday, then it got a bit boring. I'm gonna play ACNH literally everyday forever lol

79. Are you the kind of person who starts over after leaving their town for a really long time, or do you try to get right back to it? I tend to restart a lot, but I recently decided to leave my ACNL town with no regrets so I hacked the crap out of it without feeling tacky or cringy

80. Do you remember how you got into the Animal Crossing series? It immediately caught my eye as a 6 year old and its had its grasp on me since

81. Do you like to make up a story for the town/character when you play, or do you just play as yourself? I play as myself but I sorta make a bunch of headcanons for myself and my neighbors and stuff to make it more interesting for me. Sometimes its embarrassing and sometimes I need to tell the people!

82. Favourite dream address / “theme” for a town (pastel, fairytale, forest, horror, etc)? My favorite town has always been Pastelia, although the mayor's name is escaping me atm >m<"

83. Do you like to have your house fully upgraded/paid off, or do you like keeping it smaller/having fewer rooms? I used to fully upgrade my house all the time but my current ACNL house only have 4 rooms and that's IT

90. Just ten more days! How’re you feeling? Half paid off my new switch, so ready!

91. Least favourite hourly track? I don't think I have one!

92. Do you prefer to know all about the game before designing your town/island/house, or do you like to wing it? Bro, I've been glued to my phone since the direct came out

93.  Another nice Animal Crossing memory? ACNL came out around the time my husband and I started dating, almost exactly at the same time. Now its 8 years later, we're married, and we're gonna play another animal crossing game together finally!

94. Are you excited about same-system multiplayer? Its gonna be great for a lot of people, kinda useless for me though

95. Five more days! Are you going to trade/use amiibo to get your favourite villager, or wait for them to move in themselves/make a new favourite? I think I'll put in my 2 top favs, and then see what comes. Maybe after a few months I'll put everyone in

96.  Favourite emotion/Shrunk joke? I don't really like his jokes, but my fav emotions to use are the bashful ones

97.  Least favourite emotion/Shrunk joke? Not a fan of his dopey dance

98.  Is there a feature you’d like to add to Animal Crossing? I wanna be able to decorate for my neighbors so badly!

99.  Is there a feature you’d take away? It kinda seems like a lot of issues were solved in ACNH, I guess we'll see what's leftover as an annoying feature

100. Final day! Any more thoughts? Midnight release at my local gamestop! Gonna be there with a bunch of DOOM fans too! Can't wait!!
