My ACNH Island Almost Broke Me--But It DIDN'T *FINAL Dystopian Island Tour*

[@consolecaito]

Finishing an island? Iconic

[@Jerrible]

The incline choices tho ❤️😏

[@dusty-pan]

This island is absolutely phenomenal! I love how much lore it has, and the comedy of keeping Hippeaux around is almost enough to make me forgive how much it hurts me to see him on screen 😭

[@anotherstorm]

it's so cool, i'm so proud of you for coming up with this awesome lore on top of all finished builds, and sharing it all with us along the way!! EJ seriously!!

[@tealeaf_rice]

i would watch this movie !!!! i loooove the storytelling and loooove how the island came out!!!!!

[@supertina717]

It’s the lore for me!!! I love your storytelling! This looks amaaaazing EJ 👏🏽👏🏽 I’m looking forward to building a rural town next. I’m still on my very first island and I’m trying to complete my museum before restarting. 🤞🏽

[@Rosalineem]

ahhh I love this so much!! the lore!! the mystery ending! the drama, theatrics!! incredible island EJ!! i’m wanting to build/currently building a ~rustic italian entrance but it’s … taking awhile 🥴

[@backwardblackbyrd]

Your dedication to your vision just oozes from this island!!! its gorgeous and the lore is so rich! I looooove the concept for Ione! Especially because everyone in a marginalized group absolutely knows someone like that; genuinely nice but benefitting from their oppression. Maybe not always in such a direct way lol but benefitting nonetheless. And to have Janelle Monae as a reference? *chefs kiss* so good!

[@EJPlays]

I always think of that line from parasite whenever i meet someone like Ione "not nice and rich, nice because she's rich"

[@shannonbullock807]

God, I LOVE the way you created a story surrounding this island. As dark as you may say it is, the idea of the parts being harvested, sweet little ione benefitting from it, the robots and cherry having that hideout in the old factory- It’s all very plausible. This should have been the animal crossing movie

[@EJPlays]

@ Nintendo, hire me

[@TiGERGiGGLES]

your island is truly FANTASTIC!!!! & omg the lore behind your island makes it *that* much better. seriously you do buildings like no ones business lmao. love all of the personality, incredible job!!! im trying to make a cottagecore island so i'd love to build a flower shop!!

[@goldberries606]

Were in our beannie era I see, also congrats on finishing the island! While some parts are not my cup of tea, i adore the view of the cyber city! Also looking forward to start building Plucky's Seafood Restaurant called The Wharf

[@harrisonrocha3270]

I love this island! The lore is iconic, a class war? In acnh? I’m living for it

[@fallingupstairs280]

Wow! the beanie fits you so well! 😍 Eamhna is such an individual and iconic island. I love the theme so much. ❤

[@CanadaCrossingAC]

I love this island EJ!! 🧡. That factory is EVERYTHING!!

[@Mx_Bea_McB]

This island is gorge! I tried to build neighborhoods and stuff the last time I flattened, but it doesn't come close to this! love love love.

[@marstime3712]

I absolutely am blown away!! It is ridiculously cool & so are you! Your story line had me cracking up, you are so beautifully creative & YES to Howl's Moving Castle core!! My cat is named Calcifer! Cheers to all of your wonderful ways!!

[@atomicalice0]

The area I working on now is a toxic spill of sorts, I’m enjoying myself for sure. Finally went to a treasure island and I’m so inspired! Love your island!! Such intricate and exquisite decorating and storytelling!

[@alijones9007]

The sudden turn of Ione’s story got me! I literally gasped lol. I would so watch that as a movie or read that as a book

[@shamy7120]

Noice, love to see it, I'm living for it! Overgrown country/fishing town thingy for my new Island. Stay hydrated, byyyyeeee!

[@fluididi1149]

I got an ad right after you bumped your mic and laughed my ass off bc it felt like you broke the video for a second

[@kms567]

I'm just here for the lore. My favorite part of your builds and island

[@josephh4796]

Amazing island! The lore and stories weaved into the builds were really good.

[@mamacat2049]

I love this island, your city is so amazing, it's like everything fits. The city streets look so cool! Thanks for the tour EJ! Wow, love the story

[@Jerrible]

My favorite part of the island is the Factry, oh and the other Fact’ry and can’t forget the Abandoned FACTRY! But in all seriousness, EJ this is gorgeous. Love the pathing on beach with the decking and pavement, love the storylines and the RED STEEL STAIRCASES ❤️😍 *Chef’s Kiss* (The rich, shady people can keep their less important, basic blue steel staircases)

[@cinnamonsparrowdesigns]

This is so cool! I love the lore and sketchiness of it all. Great job!

[@AshDawn]

I LOVE the lore on your island so much!! This is such a creative concept and all the builds are stunning! Beautiful job EJ 🖤

[@clodia83]

It's done! Congratulations! It turned out so well! And also so horrifying! (My Island is slowly being turned into Lake George, and I'm working on the tourist center).

[@SaintAstra]

EJ, this is an S-Tier island if I've ever seen one. It's been such a journey watching you build each part and getting to see it all come together is so inspiring, the lore, the way you gave the characters their own stories that all connected, the storytelling you had in every single area, all of it is beyond incredible. Every single space has so many details!! I would absolutely watch this movie :) I am so excited to see your next island, I genuinely love your aesthetic and how creative you are and how you put so much life into yours islands. Congrats on finishing!!

[@Hannah-iz6pf]

This was soooooo amazing EJ!!!! Your hard work paid off because this is art baby, ART!!!!! I loved ur story

[@skribbzz3881]

WHAT??? Eamhna is DONE??? That's crazy! You did such a wonderful job with it; I've gone and gotten emotionally attached 🥺. Thank you for the hours of joy thru streams and videos with this lil ol island EJ! End question: I want to build a gas station on my island for The Vibes

[@RedrumSketches]

limburg is fiting for this theme because hes like the grungey undercity guy who shows the protagonist around and teaches them how to survive

[@jessieanna0405]

Finally we can say goodbye to Hippeux 😂 I love Eamhna! You make me love Dystopiacore. Funnily Cherry and Cephalobot are residents on my new Dystopia, abandoned Carnival, dark academia forest Island and I love 'em ❤ hilarious how you pronounce „Limburg“ I’ll miss that 🥲 Goodbye Eamhna, your awesome, but we need to move on 😍 i‘m so excited to see your new island! And pls. No more Hippeux xD

[@EJPlays]

FINALLY (I stg if this man is my campsite villager???)

[@TheArtsyGamer_]

I'm considering two builds, actually! The volcano island will transition to a beach town with the center being an old village and temple. The dreamscape town island is going to either transition to a radioactive construction core build or a 90s kidcore build... with rust and tetanus, just like we like it :D Seriously, this build is incredible, EJ. I loved Ione's Parasite inspired house. And the power factory in the back was beautifully done. I can't wait to visit the DA!!

[@cwork621]

Your islands truly are the best. A++ for originality. Make that movie, because it would be exceptional.

[@ziggymack2233]

I love how you got dark! My island has some dark notes too. I’m practically finished with a new military research and develop base/spaceport that’s been researching aliens and gyroids for their technology to build mechs and space ships for the spaceports in the north shore area

[@EJPlays]

Omg that is right up my alleyyy i love it!!

[@emm9699]

Fantastic job, EJ! This island is so well put together and I absolutely love the lore behind it! The next build for me is going to be a statue garden, maybe? Haha I'm very indecisive, ya'll gave me such great suggestions the other day!

[@brianajuarez8144]

i want to continue working on my marvel island, but it’s rough. 😮‍💨 the thing i want to build specifically is Orin’s castle, so i can move on to the other parts!

[@emman2052]

i love the way you use builds to tell stories! the lore is so fascinating to learn about, and it seems like a great way to get inspired and create on your island!! i've been in an ACNH rut for the past while, but seeing how you play is making me want to start a new island :) great video

[@jaclyn.walker]

I'm fully invested in this lore. It's all so incredible! Great job, EJ!

[@Xina..]

EJ’s “Listen…” count: 2 I want to redo my island entrance, along with the area in front of Resident Services. I have ideas, but no spare time to do it! Hopefully next week I can start. I’ve been holding off updating my DA until I get that done!

[@normalizrd]

the lore? the island? the builds? ICONIC.

[@susand5156]

Fantastic! I, ahhh, feel so lame I don’t have a story on my island, let alone a gripping dystopian with shady characters. Then again I’m still stuck on my very fist island which is also set in winter. The story made this tour one of the best I’ve seen And I always enjoy your videos. I obsess a bit over dark, swampy islands so either that or tropical will be my next venture

[@CobraCreates]

Yeeeeeeeees I love this island so much! I love the lore too, everything's better with lore. Also Howl's Moving Castle core?! Oh I can't wait QotD: I actually got burned out partway through my island. It was a general fantasy style, no real strict theme. And I dunno, I just lost steam on it. Hopefully stepping away for a while will help me get back to it and finish it

[@EJPlays]

Feel that! But also don't feel super beholden to it if something else is inspiring you! I say follow the joy

[@Shadowfan206]

Eamhna looks even better than I imagined! I will definitely be touring later and taking pictures! I'll post them to my Twitter so you can see them!

[@MakimasFuneral]

This is amazing! The builds were absolutely inspiring, but I think my favorite part was how you came up with an entire lore for the island and every character had a back story. Felt like everything was done on purpose from day one, and that is SO COOL. Love it!

[@alsk20]

This island is incredible!! I love the lore you created, it's so sinister!! I am thinking of making my next island into a very fairy, nature island and working on my terraforming.

[@melissarodriguez4203]

I love you EJ. The island is awesome but your commentary is out of this world.

[@annibunny5968]

Oh EJ I LOVE this!! I'm definitely more of a natural/green acnh island gal, but I adore everything on your island, it's so well done! Especially the house boat and Boomer's junk yard and ahhh well everything :D Also looove the lore and the plot twist with Ione. So good

[@mmariann]

This is so cool. The lore is my favorite part. So creative!

[@tinalewis1966]

I can understand wanting to move on. My second island was like that because when I unlocked the terraforming I completely flattened it then rebuilt the land mass and river to be mostly symmetrical. Quite labour intensive but once was done, very satisfying

[@bell2451]

It’s amazing!! The build is amazing; the lore is amazing; EJ is amazing.

[@JacintaPlays]

Oh my gosh EJ this island is bloody amazing!! I love hearing the lore behind it all too! You’ve done such a good job 💞

[@solarprogeny6736]

congratulations, i love love love the storyline

[@daylightsleeptight]

I also have apples as my native fruit so my island theme sorta morphed into a far-flung future version of the Garden of Eden after the humans got kicked out and all the animals became sentient.

[@EJPlays]

Yes come on, lore!!

[@BeMandy]

Congrats on this amazing island! I love all the thought behind the lore. I love how excited you get when you talk about Tangy 😄

[@dragondancer5150]

LOVE LOVE LOVE how this turned out!!! ...........The thing I wanna build next...okay, it's a castle, and "THAT'S BEEN DONE TO DEATH" but I'm going to be creating a medieval-era (1300s-1400s England) castle that is going to be historically accurate (inasmuch as that's possible in AC) and I'm super stoked to finally get to it soon.

[@EJPlays]

Oooooo I'm into that!

[@dragondancer5150]

@@EJPlays I have the entrance build for that island done. Just need to edit and post it. It's based on a fantasy setting I've had kicking around in my head for 4EVAH but I'm grounding it in reality as much as possible. ^_^

[@kjlouisi4630]

OMG I love this! You're story is a hoot! sharing.

[@tobydaniel8714]

I love your island!! Its so pretty, its very inspiring for my own island :))) i cant wait for your next island, i love studio ghibli especially howls moving castle!!! Im planning on doing some studio ghibli like builds on my island and im sure ill get tons of inspiration from you >:))

[@LindsLovesHou]

It turned out so well!! Congrats on finishing. I want to make a magical lightly spooky lesbian witch forest on my island but the struggle is REAL

[@katieh7419]

I see you with the Symone “flag fectry” reference 😂 gorgeous island!

[@notsowisegirl]

the pipe as a subway made me audibly gasp. this is so brilliant and amazing

[@kinboshi134]

I can’t help but feel some Blade Runner vibes with the natural vs. robot villagers. Very nice build 👌

[@elainalien]

Ahhh I can't believe the journey is over! Although forever grateful because it didn't break Ej completely, because whew would I miss Ej's videos. But congrats on getting it done Ej, I know you really struggled on their one, and the results were totally worth it! Great job, and congratulations again!

[@eric-cg9wv]

such a cute island!!! dystopiacore is such a fun theme and this video was so fun to watch.. i was so invested in the lore!!!! great job :D

[@ArstyImogenSky]

I don't know about build but because of Caito I want to have a garden to attempt blue roses again...that being said this island has been so fun to watch you build. The lore is freaking great. Make that movie!!! I wanna see it.

[@EJPlays]

Oof good luck, i tried that at the beginning of the game but i don't have enough patience 😂😂

[@ArstyImogenSky]

@@EJPlays I quit last time after 2 months. Let's see how long I last.

[@bevpowell-smith3014]

This island is absolutely dark and awesome!!!! Congratulations on finishing and I can’t wait to visit!!

[@KaylaCrossing]

super cool island, congrats on finishing EJ! 💜

[@fairyofdaisies]

this is genuinely one of the most impressive lore-filled islands i've seen in a long time, if not the most ever. so so cool!! i loved how detailed you got. hats off to you 🎩

[@Chaoslootgoblin]

I just wanted to say I went villager hunting the other day and I found tangy. And watching your videos inspired me to take her when she showed up on a NMT island. I do like her so far. But hope you have a good day/night.

[@Laylakia_]

EJ!! This island is absolutely amazingg! It must feel super satisfying completing a whole entire island! I really like your idea of having two separate islands in one with the rich people theme that's very unique

[@sammybabay313]

I loved this island! So happy you didn’t give up on it and to answer your question I’m still sorta experiencing burnout but I’ve recently have redone my upstairs bedroom in my house and I’m thinking of possibly changing my island theme from fall to just nothing and start decorating but my islands name is babaychino so idk ugh but can’t wait for the next island theme 🥰♥️♥️

[@anitakok1979]

Incredible. Love to hear how exciting you are about your island. My daughter said how funny you are... Speaking with lots of sound!

[@chaoticfroggo6852]

EJ become a director i need to see that as a movie 😩

[@kywire._]

Way to go EJ, it's wonderful !!! Love the lore

[@EJPlays]

Okay come thru shape of water

[@mcrmaria1234]

Ahhhh this is the first island I've seen you complete start to finish and I LOVE how it turned out. Especially the lore for everything is amazing. Great job 🥳 looking forward to whatever you do next

[@snekings5778]

It was so fun watching you build this!!!! It looks spectacular

[@xx.tragic]

This island is so good & so detailed! Love all your villagers' homes. Loving the whole "factrehh". 😂

[@beller6719]

I love how this turned out it looks so good!! love the lore too, very dark 👀

[@elodi1856]

This is juste AMAZING !!! I love the story you made, I wan't to see the movie

[@Tinkie075]

Beautiful job EJ

[@Ylurple]

This is amazing. I wish I got to see more videos of the builds since i don't watch streams. but im excited to see where you go next! for me: I want to take the citycore-kinda areas that i've made, like my train station and gas station, and make them more foresty. kinda make things more x-files. and also i need to make a park. i've taken inspiration from you and like making things dilapidated. so rusty dilapidated park!

[@EJPlays]

Ooo that sounds cool!!

[@bailifer]

🖤🤖i've so enjoyed watching you build this island and look forward to the next one!

[@ShannonLivesey]

This is AWESOME!!! So inspiring EJ! I love it... I've been following along for this whole build and I'm not disappointed at all! I'm looking forward to touring it myself and to the next island! Love Howls moving castle 🏰 .... I'm starting a island theme I haven't seen yet and nothing popped up on pintrest either... wish me luck!

[@sleepycrossing]

EJ you are so talented! I love love love the lore in all your islands, like how only the rich have plants??? Details like that are so amazing! Can not wait for the next island! 😄

[@yammy6816]

yayyyyy! I loved this tour! Your island is sooooo amazing 👏👏

[@jbingbong]

Cherry's house is on point. I'd never have thought to use those walls.

[@benipray]

This island is gorgeous, I LOVE the story behind it! Thank you so much for sharing

[@AnnaKlura]

I hate the winter time! I like it for a week, then I’m done. And I also think it’s boring. And I forgot to say I love the tour!

[@NikkiStraightStreets]

Super interested in the whole island; And the storyline behind it all is just amazing; Loved it

[@oO0catty0Oo]

Nice nice nice! Love the lore. Uhhhh...I want to build too many dang things

[@prairiecrossing8884]

👀👀👀congrats on finishing the island, friend!!

[@16bitbre.]

Vid just started but I’m SOOO SOOO PROUD OF YOU !! CONGRATS ✨🎉🥳🎊🍾

[@AdrianGarcia-wh2qn]

I’m so happy and I love how the island turned out, it’s so amazing!!! Also to answer the question I want to do a howl’s garden island just something simple and fun✨

[@Mayhaps0502]

Wow that was a work of sweat and frustration!! And it's soooo good! 😊😍 And I love the lore, it's so cool and creative You certainly dont do builds in half (except the LCS island I guesssss lol) My current island is a very spring core thing ... and I gotta design around Abels and Nooks next 😬

[@katiepegram7931]

This is so creative - I love love love all the lore you came up with. Amazing job.

[@aprilsauce5879]

Awesome island! I love the whole story you have built into it. It really inspires me to keep going with my own island build even though sometimes I feel tired of working on it myself.

[@melenev]

This was simply Amazing! I love Studio Ghibli films; I can't wait to see you do Howl's Moving Castle.

[@thatonecordelia]

I'd watch the hell out of that movie 👀 This island turned out so GOOD I'm so proud of you. It's also the first island I've seen go from nothing to the finished build in real time. I absolutely love it I don't know if I want to build anything on my beachy kidcore island.. I just did one of my beaches, and I have like 2 places left to do. But I'm just not feeling it anymore. No idea what I'd do with my next island though.

[@pinkcadillac227]

heck yeah, barista beanie! congrats on finishing! also, the flag gives me rapture vibes from bioshock. love it! since my island is finished, my next build will be..... flattening 😑

[@sandyw5254]

I love this island and all of the content it created. This island is EPIC! Looking forward to what you do next!

[@bambiehalo]

Gonna be honest, if you’ve ever played MySims Agents you know what I mean but this reminds me so much of the industrial area in that game
