WOO I actually did combat successfully!
Twitter thread from May 1, 2021, celebrating that I actually successfully fought wolves!
Also, I had zero patience for love triangle drama in Riverwood, and went and told Camilla that both of the guys competing for her attention were being douches about it. This did not amuse Faendal.
Things accomplished in Animal Crossing: a meteor shower! Did a lot of wishing on stars. Second bridge is in progress on my island, and I’ve planted a bunch of flowers and set up some lovely new fencing and benches near the plaza. Take that, 1-star rating!

Things accomplished in Skyrim: WOO I actually did combat successfully! \0/ Take that, wolves! Found the Guardian Stones (chose Warrior, it seemed easiest and safest for my novice self). Made a shield on the wise council of Paul.

Also went to Whiterun and told the Jarl “oh hey by the way there’s dragons” and now they want me to go get them a Dragonstone. And I leveled up to level 2!

The interesting challenge here: not mixing up the commands between the games. 馃槈 Note to self: NO YOU CANNOT CATCH BUTTERFLIES WITH A NET IN SKYRIM.

And oh yeah there’s an elf archer in Riverwood who tried to get me involved in his love triangle. Forged a letter purporting to be by the bard Sven and wanted me to give it to a woman they both like.

I’m all DO NOT INVOLVE ME IN YOUR DRAMA so I took it to Camilla and told her “hey this dude wanted me to give you this letter and say it was from the other dude”. Camilla was NOT AMUSED. Justly so!

Also in the annals of DO NOT INVOLVE ME IN YOUR DRAMA: on my way into Whiterun, got challenged by a dude who demanded to know which of the clans in Whiterun I supported.

How the hell should I know anything about your clans, asshole? I just got here! Get out of my way and let me go take word about the friggin’ DRAGON to your Jarl, mmkay?
