Logged in for the first time and parked by the stones.
Slept all day and listened to the forest music while cooking.
Came back to find candles on my head and a new pelt.
Thank you, friend. <3 Tomorrow is for exploring.

Ran around the forest for a while and sat next to many deer who were watching the snowfall.
Found a small deer sleeping alone, so I curled up next to them and rested for a few hours.
Seems her name is Engla.

Left my deer in the Blue Bowl all night. The music of this game helps me sleep irl. Woke up next to a toad resting in a rock but could not find their picto on the map. Danced around them for a bit in case they were nearby before we were approached by a white deer and small crow. We played for a bit but I was worried about leaving the Blue Bowl this early in the morning. The white deer's username was "ShiranuiFemale" but I could not find which profile to leave a message on. Hope they don't think I'm rude for not following. I'll try to explore again this afternoon.

Shiranui came back and lulled me out of the Blue Bowl. We played in a mushroom circle and I was turned into a very little deer. It's cute. We danced with a few other deer and played with masks for a while. Skull deer make really scary noises!

Slept inside the stones for most of today. Woke up to find a strange guest had been resting beside me.
Urschanabi seems gentle. I readjusted and laid back down with my cuddle buddy. Duir isn't scared this time.

Last night, just past Midnight, I jumped online to nuzzle whoever was on and found a beautiful sunset glow over the forest. Immediately I turned on my recording software. At first I was frightened by the stars falling and jumping from the tree tops. I thought they were carcasses!!! When I tried to call out, a large bubble erupted from my little fawn instead of noise!! So I ran to every deer and kept blowing bubbles at them to celebrate the New Year instead. Eventually I ran into another fawn doing the same and we blew bubbles until I was sure they were getting bored. Before logging off, I tried to get some video of the rest of the forest and I'll probably share it here sometime this afternoon.

Today the forest looks back to normal except there is confetti rain. So pretty.

Left my deer resting in the woods and came back to find Urshanabi cuddled up by Duir again

I think I'll draw them tomorrow.

I was out of town for a few days and I am catching up on the community posts as well as enjoying the sweet sounds of the forest. Today I'm by the lake. I love how loud the frogs are. It's honestly one of my favorite sounds.
I'm feeling a little tired but overall ok today, so I'm trying to be as motivated as possible.

I've been trying to keep my deer in the forest as much as possible. The forest sounds are very calming and make me think of the old days in these woods but my body is not what it use to be and I tire very quickly. I find myself sleeping more and more, but now I dream of running between trees and laying on warm grass. This has been having a massively positive effect on my mood. I keep trying to draw again.

The above pic is what I've edited from an actual fawn that was brave enough to come close to me at the local Deer Reserve. I named him my "Little Prince" and can't wait to see how much he has grown in spring. His sister cautiously watched from behind while he posed for my camera. I have a few shots of him I will upload after editing.

This one I made with several different assets free on the internet. I just like to blend things. lol

I think it's a good example of how small fawns feel in the forest when you just start playing the game. I was inspired when I curled up next to that large howling hollow tree.

I have a bigger version of this as my desktop wallpaper right now but didn't want to clutter up this page with super big images. Trying to keep it neat and tidy. ^^

I’m keeping a journal up until my deer becomes an adult and using the interactions I have in the forest to buld the character. I want him to develope naturally. If anyone wants to take him under their wing, I don’t mind. ^^ He has no family yet.

Here's another edit of that young buck I met at the reservation. I love his coy pose here. He didn't know what to make of me and was hesitant to take the deer snacks I bought from the caretakers. The other fawn kept her distance, which was too bad. I would have loved to get a shot of them beside eachother.
