this is gonna sound so overly dramatic but omg i am SO grateful i found this right now, i'm stuck almost entirely in my bedroom at home for the foreseeable future (chronic illness yay lol) and i'd just decided to try to get back into acnh and finally actually finish an island, and this is sooooo inspiring. watching your process is so helpful, especially when it comes to making things look more natural/realistic, and this island's vibe and aesthetic and colour palette are so gorgeous! also you might've finally convinced me to try using gyroids on my island, they're so cute here and don't actually look totally out of place

[@keijello3632]

AHH i feel the same, and i really hope you find some joy in acnh as youre dealing with your situation! i believe in you, youre cool af for keeping up on the bright side :,]

[@avarner72]

So pretty and the gyroids look great! I love how the villagers interact with them!

[@princhipeza5408]

I actually think the pink azalea bushes provide a really sweet pop of colour!! (re: 8:10) it's a nice contrast from all the green and neutral tones. I'm loooving this island design so far :-)

[@WrensCozyCrossing]

I absolutely love it so far! And your terraforming is just beautiful...that is where I struggle the most! Can't wait for more videos! 💛💚🪴🌿

[@sadebabe622]

This was so much fun to watch! All your islands are so different yet I feel inspired by every single one ❤️

[@sparksby]

That’s a huuuuge compliment for me, thank you so much! 🥺

[@saapphires]

I just started yesterday!! 🎉🧝‍♀️!!

[@fangs4597]

i'm new to this channel and i love it! its very refreshing to see the thought process behind builds and not just a speed build (although i love them as well). Also i find it really interesting that you work on a general layout and then complete the decorating ! it's very unique and very different from what i personnally do

[@jennifer6997]

This looks amazing! I love the use of the giant vine and tulip items, I think that might be my favorite area so far! I love the items you've chosen/color theme - 100% gives botanical garden vibes!

[@sparksby]

Yaaay, I’m so glad you like it!

[@emmabenson2546]

Super cute! I think a red door would look really nice on Doc's house; it would bring out the tiny red details around it

[@sparksby]

Ooh interesting 🤔

[@tinytuba1243]

I love this . I have never seen anyone do this before and have literally watched a good amount of acnh videos

[@grxce0523]

“hmm but where will i get the lasers?” - peggy 04:32 uhmm miss ma’am… lasers for what??

[@lauriestark2282]

WOW! Calathea is turning out absolutely beautiful! Every new area you showed was prettier than the previous one. It shows that you're really enjoying yourself with this island! I love the different areas and the gyroids working around! I'd totally visit this botanical garden if it was real (even if I'm terrified of bugs and this doesn't seem safe for my bug phobia 😂) The codes are so perfect for this theme too. I absolutely love this island! 💚🌱

[@ehname1]

I'm just getting back into ANCH and your videos have been so invaluable.

[@bananapanda13]

i just found your channel and i’m in love!!! i am really in to animal crossing rn and i love watching people play and get inspo for my island!

[@melissakate111]

this is looking absolutely amazing so far! you have such a knack for putting the right items together, and your terraforming is so good! 😍

[@connieschweitzer8163]

this is looking amazing! As much as I like the everything covered style that you use, I also really like the more open restful places where you haven't yet finished.... On the gyroids, I have a gyroid forest on my current island, it is so much fun!!

[@sparksby]

Yeah, I kind of like both aesthetics too, I just always go for clutter at some point 😂

[@plushdragonteddy]

this turned out SO cute !!

[@cathoorine]

love the incorporation of the gyroids!!

[@carosand07]

I love this idea ❤ Calatheas are my favorite plants!!! Will you ever show your plant collection?

[@michellinembuyi11998]

Beautiful! I want this type of island! Im gonna work on it

[@dumbysoup9011]

Thank you, now I will make Gyroids the workers on my island 😭 they will be store clerks, train conductors etc omg i love this. I want it to look like this is a gyroid island and we are living with them

[@sparksby]

Yesssss! That sounds so good! 😍

[@a_crafty_gamer2114]

Loving Calathea! Also, Walker is my bday twin so I’m gonna go ahead and in my head that means he is an adorable ADHD baby

[@sparksby]

Absolutely!! 😍

[@CaffeinatedBookwoorm]

I really love this island! My favorite of yours so far as well, BUT encanto is also beautiful

[@tamamum1]

I’m loving this island! Even more than Kalon 😬 Looking forward to seeing more!

[@missanthropy.]

I love the little gyroid guides haha, such a cute idea :)

[@MkMcCraight]

LOL, what are you thinking about? The ticket prices? I cackled. That was great. I am loving this island. I am so glad you found something you wanted to do with Calathea. This is an island you could keep flattening with new generic themes that don’t need a special name.

[@sparksby]

Exactly! I think it also might be fun to have a „finished“ DA at some point and then use this island to test stuff out etc 🥰

[@esterz383]

Loved this video style! Was giving pleasant Hokkaido flashbacks!

[@sparksby]

Ooh true! It was actually lots of fun to record and edit too! 🥰

[@kimberlykelsey1105]

I flaming love this 😍. That path is nice. Also the bushes look good

[@vsabinana]

wow i don't think i've seen this island since you yeeted the forever build! first of all: wow your tattoo looks ABSOLUTELY gorgeous, i didn't even know jellyfishes were a thing for you! i'm absolutely obsessed since i LOVE sea creatures and jellyfish is definitely also on my list, i mean they're such inspiring creatures if you think about it?? if you take them out of their natural environment they just end up as pathetic blobs, but underwater they're sooo beautiful and even tho they look fragile, they can STING like slay queen ps: i love the editing on this video! :3 also, the idea with the gyroids is super cool in of itself but the way you described it makes it so cute and funny 😄 EDIT: i have an idea! you could also use the little handheld snacks as a dropped item because the little paperbag looks like as if someone brought a lunchpack to the botanical garden, but forgot or dropped there :3 also...OMG the daisy path??? that was super popular back in 2021 when springcore first came around, it gives me so much nostalgia

[@megancooksey]

Very cute! So glad I found your channel!

[@sparksby]

Welcome! 🥰🥰

[@Ailis-n5z]

I love this island it’s so pretty❤ I also love all the giyroyeds ❤🥰

[@DragonZelda]

Love the theme.

[@luvbugg7]

omg i want this island😭 (i’m currently making and terraforming my empty island rn but having trouble getting the custom paths)

[@spo_okyspic3]

I'm currently working on my "forever" island. It's a Wonderland/fairy tail inspired island. I'm absolutely going to use that path, it's so perfect!

[@savannahru]

Me too!! Mine is a cottage/clutter core island. With a bit of spring core.

[@Finrohir]

Is started at Christmas and I looooove it ❤😊😊

[@StardustedMoth]

Using the gyroids as the workers is freaking adorable, I love it! Research area looks great, the lighter colors def helped. Idk why but between the music and the initial dark theme of Doc's house, I was thinking "mad scientist." Experimenting with huge, villager-eating plants, oh my!

[@sparksby]

Omg that would also be such an amazing idea!! 😍

[@brendam.7538]

It's beauiful!

[@AaWiryya]

Wow! 🎉❤

[@G123-x2u]

the little guy behind the desk killed meeeeee he can barely reach the computer w his lil arms 🤣🤣🤣

[@sparksby]

Right?? I love them! 😂😍

[@lindaleclair8879]

Recently discovered your channel and enjoy watching your videos .. 😍 What is that 2 tier shelf with the jars??? (in Doc's house)

[@sparksby]

Thank you! It’s the glowing-moss-jar shelves 🥰

[@eddierowe9973]

this reminds me of the eaden progect in the uk

[@luzperez5849]

Can you give us the codes for the walking paths?

[@chelseai931]

we have the same island name!!!!! 🥰 calatheas are the best which ones are your favorites? 👀

[@bemycezok]

MIRZA

[@deathrukia90]

Si bien pienso que a este punto mi isla ya esta hecha al 100% realmente quiero sacar ideas de como usar todos los objetos de plantas para rellenar algunos espacios.🎉❤ Entonces te seguire para ver ideas nuevas. Saludos 😊

[@lucyimperial]

I’m in love with your paths😊 they’re just perfection

[@Orisays]

Omg how did you get Pecan!!!! I need her on my Island 😩🩵

[@CrystalOrtega-w7w]

Your villagers made me think about how there is a bad mix of predators and prey together.

[@sparksby]

Omg true 😂😂

[@mxsonwhite]

Please someone tell me how to get the mushrooms and the little vine plants!

[@CozyGamerJessa]

💚

[@Jddineen]

What is that mushroom item?

[@saraiortega3775]

Wait did you design Peggy’s home or you chose her house to be there for that reason her house looks like a front desk ?

[@saraiortega3775]

Wow I’ve been away from playing achn for so long I just realized you can customize the villagers interior 😅

[@vinnyortiz8782]

does anyone know the flowers at 3:12

[@lemonlemonade5669]

She walked past some weeds and there was a green mum in front

[@stopyruiego]

penny wtf do u need lasers for-

[@Lennox14051]

what are the codes

[@raviolifabbrioli3321]

Doc is the professor right? So which villagers are his students 🤔

[@sparksby]

Mit necessarily students, he’s just the researcher I guess 🤭
