/ On an indefinite hiatus, may return when life settles! / I'm Amy, a long-time Animal Crossing fan who is here to share the love, cozy-chill vibes, creativity, and community that the series has brought into my life.
Hi there, my name is Amy, welcome in to my cozy corner of the web! I have a deep love of Animal Crossing and in its role in my life as a creative outlet and approaching it as an art form, while also enjoying the cozy & silly gameplay moments along the way. I started streaming to share that passion, and in the process we've built such a creative, thoughtful, and kind community here in the Forest Fam. If you like to unwind to cozy community conversation and get creative, you might like it here too! We're a welcoming bunch so don't be shy to jump in, if you like, and lurking is welcome too.

My stream days I shoot for are Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I stream in the *evening* in North American East coast time, the same timezone as New York. The starting time can be anytime past 4pm EST!
- The best way to keep up with streams is to join the [Discord](https://discord.gg/f2XHXYk), where you can keep up with announcements and go-live notifications.
1. Light profanity is acceptable as long as it's not directed at anyone, but keep chat PG13.
2. This is not a mature content stream, but maturity is still expected. If immaturity is causing disruption, that could lead to a ban even if no rules are explicitly broken.
3. No hate-speech or discriminatory language will be tolerated.
4. This is an English-only chat
5. Ask me or a mod before posting links
6. No unprompted self-promotion (bringing up your stream, etc.)
7. This is not necessarily a rule, but I don't really love comments on my appearance, even if positive. I'd prefer to keep the focus on the content and not feel like my appearance is a spectacle!
8. Be kind to one another and have a good time! These rules are for the health of the chat & to keep it a nice place for everyone to hang out. 💚
