For me I was looking for Judy and Raymond to make a profit. After like 5 tickets I'm like "Meh wasn't gonna find anything anywhere" I literally had forgot Audie's existence, then she pops up out of nowhere and I start freaking out and taking 50+ screenshots. That's my story, I'm bored and doing homework right now, somebody save me for a brief second.
 
I was looking for the mahi-mahi for days and it never came. Then I gave up and forgot about it. Today I decided to try to complete my fishing streak nook miles, when I catch it out of nowhere!
 
Saw a somewhat larger shadow while island hopping, and went for it on a whim. Ended up with my first blue marlin.
 
I found some of my dreamies like Beau, Freya, and Wolfgang through NMTs when I was looking for Raymond, Erik, and Marshal.

When I was using the campsite method to find Raymond, I found other amazing villagers like Zell and Kyle. I sadly didn't invite them but I rlly wanted them.
 
It was the loft desk with bed.

I remember seeing it in Piper’s room and thought, “Oh boy, gotta have!” I was very early in the game, so I thought it wasn’t gonna happen any time soon.

And then I OOP—next day I shook a tree and that’s literally my first furniture day of the day lmao
 
the scorpion - refused to show up when i was looking for it but showed up repeatedly when i was just vibing/gathering stuff for a trade lol
 
Lucky Cat! I was close to buying one off Nookazon but got stingy because I didnt want to spend 50-70NMT on an item. That same day Gulliver appeared on my island. Today I got the Lucky Cat in the mail. My favorite color variation too!

Same. Scorpion/Tarantulas only seem to show themselves when I'm not actively hunting for them. But every time I have my net out, not a single one spawns.
 
i got zucker on one of my first five islands! he's not a dreamy of mine, though, so my plan is to give him to a friend of mine
 
I was time travelling to kick out Lucky for a friend. He wouldn’t budge after I time travelled for two entire years, and I was getting desperate. At that point, a campsite visitor turned up, and I marched down in hopes of getting the visitor, whoever they may be, to force him out. That visitor turned out to be Stitches, one of my absolute favorite lazy villagers!
 
I got the gold island/scorpion island, needless to say I ‘died’ a few times while filling up my pockets
 
Golden Trout. That one gave me a lot of trouble. Now I'm trying to find the Tuna and I'm having a deja vu, because I can see it's going to be the same thing...
 
Was island hopping for a lazy or jock villager that I liked after I kicked Merengue out, however after my 3rd ticket I came across no other than Raymond it was pretty cool but I was unprepared to see him at all
 
Spent full days trying to catch the string fish, and finally caught one on day 3. Went to a friend's island after and saw a largeish fish shadow and it was a stringfish.
 
I caught a sturgeon casually on an mystery island. I didn't even know they were in season yet and I was laughing cause I had seen people use so much bait to try and catch one.
Same kind of thing happened with the coelcanth I didn't know you could catch them at any time of day now and i caught one in the morning just before the rain stopped
 
In the beginning of the game, I was like : "I know that yours precious baby Beau or little Stitches, are not gonna be the first villagers in the island" and when I start to place the furniture for the 3 houses plots. Uncle Nook says that you can look who bought the plot.
I was curious and I check the 3 plots and one of them, is Beau who bought the plot !! ;-;
I was so so so happy to see his name on the plot that I ask my little sister if she sees the name of Beau too !! ;-; <3 <3

And now I spend a nice time with him on our little island, fishing, listen to him when he's singing and take somes pictures with him. Just enjoy our life in a peaceful way. ;-;
 
i was actively hunting for tarantula island and then realized that after over 100 NMT i was not gonna find it. then i told myself that i’m scared of tarantulas anyway and finding tarantula island in the dead of night would probably make me cry so with that i used my last ticket and ended on tarantula island lol

i made bank but i was shaking the whole time :,)
 
Audie and Judy when I was Raymond hunting. I tried breeding purple flowers and gave up cus it was just not working. Then a week or so after, I found purple tulips and purple pansies behind trees when I was just running around and I noticed a flashed of purple. They were from my non breeding flowers since I seperate my breeding field from the normal decorative flowers.
 
A bamboo island so I could gather bamboo, I about to settle to having to buy one off the forum or bug some more friends.
