TheoGreen Confused
DEAR ABBY’S HOTTER SIS
This week it was discovered that player TheodoreGreen has little knowledge in terms of how
storks bring babies. “How do you get villagers to breed?” He asked the server as if he too
wasn’t a villager. Imagine walking up to a person and asking them how to get humans to
breed. Luckily for TheoGreen we here at Village Weekly will be happy to enlighten both you
and any other dear reader that needs some guidance. Now you see, when a man loves a villager
very much, he will begin courting her by building lots of beds so the female may choose her
nest. Then begins the bringing of food, to ensure the pair’s survival and to help bring the
female into heat. At this point the acts get a little R rated so if you're a child I suggest you stop
reading. Seriously go get your parents’ permission. Anyways so they hold hands and then a
baby spawns and they all go on about their business. We hope that cleared things up for you
and Village Weekly is happy to answer any future questions you have.

Regular fireworks launcher Gerritt was recently quoted expressing his hatred for the fabulous water-topped
lighthouse on the coastline of Tilgangur. How could such a peaceful boy suddenly be filled with such strong
hatred? It's possible Gerritt was hurt by a mean bully lighthouse in his days as a sailor, and now he holds a
secret hatred for tall lights near coastlines. After saying this, Gerritt went back to his usual friendly self, so it is
still unknown what the cause of this anger is. We only hope he can continue to be peaceful and avoid retaliation
from the proud owners of Tilgangur.
Art Appreciation
ART CHASERS
Village Weekly is well known to love all players, but that also includes the incredible art they create! So, for the
month of December, three writers will be giving their opinion on the art created by you the readers! Just submit
your piece in a new section on the website, or pm it to one of our reporters!
Our First piece was completed by Mali in 2019 and was drawn using a Wacom tablet on her laptop using
FireAlpaca. It showcases some of the staff at the time of its completion. The inspiration behind it was showing
appreciation for all the hard work Staff does on VC. The eventual goal is for Mali to complete portraits in this
style of all the staff members.
Review 1: So adorable, I love that each one has a unique movement to it 15/10
Review 2: This is not just a great piece of art; it was done with care to the subjects. Each person not only has
their skin highlighted to perfection, but it pulls their personalities to front. It truly feels like you’re looking at
the people the art is inspired by, and that is what makes it incredible.
Review 3: Seeing this art in discord the other day totally made my day. The characters are so well done. Mali
really does an amazing job taking these players unique skins and melding them with Mails style.
