My biggest issue with the custom designs is that there's very little noise when you run across them, and I'm a sucker for the little tiptaps of little feets. Also, this might be my favorite island of yours so far, I'm literally obsessed
Omg I've missed this series, I'm sooo excited to see how this goes! You've inspired me to build a stray/dystopian core area on my island, I love your channel ♥️🫶🏻
i am obsessed with how this is turning out!! for the part where it wouldnt let you put a ladder kit where the party lights were, i think if you put the ladder kit down first and then put the party lights there, it should let you!!
I found you and I love your humour and wholesome content! Happy that I came across[ing] your channel EJ! Loving your island so far!!!!!!! so creative!!!!
YES! Nighttime build! What about the lighthouse? Hide it behind something but you’ll get the rotating lantern effect. Terraforming edits were on point 💋👌🏽
18:43 ✨accidental-grass-roof ramen bar throwback ✨ Also, this is looking incredible so far! Eamhna is my absolute favourite DA to visit of all time, so you creating a post apocalyptic/ dystopian island again? A dream come true for me, personally. SO exited to see how this one will turn out 🧡
I was so hype to see that you posted for your stray island. This is so amazing!!!! You killed it, your clutter and design skills are so in tune and it works out so well. I was enamored seeing you plan out everything. Keep it up!!!
Hi sorry it's been awhile since I commented I've been dealing with a lot sorry to dump this on you. But other than that I hope you are doing well and that everything is going well for you and that you're having a happy week so far and I hope you had a good weekend.
Ok EJ, I'm only going to say this once so you don't get a big head.... You're.... a genuis. Simply a genius. Are you aware of how much of a genuis you are?
I tell anyone who will listen that if being a barista would provide the full benefits that everyone deserved (a livable wage, retirement, healthcare, etc), I'd have been one from the getgo. I LOVED serving coffee to people back in the day. Also a delightful video to catch up on as always
I'm so glad this was in my recommended videos. always happy to find a queer youtuber playing some of my favorite games. I love the Stray concept too! happily subscribing✨
I agree with the clothes pole vs clothesline theory. My island is definitely clothesline at the moment. It’s very naturey forest witchcore (think more pagan witch than Halloween witch)
You should drop some trash in the walking areas so they're still navigable but adds some extra clutter! Things like the can, tire and boot that you fish out of the water
maybe the storage shed? the one you have to get the complete storage upgrades for.( im working on getting the money b/c i need two , one of them for petri) It seems like it might work as an alternate for the retro transportation stops. also the billiard table in the bar :)
Sloppy furniture would be good to use and the worn look garden furniture. I remember a little like mini sitting room on the upper levels too with a tv and sofa.
Ooooh I already love this idea, I have not played stray lol but I know the city is based off of the walled city of Kowloon and I for some reason have a fascination for that city
Oh yay! I'm so glad Nora is doing one! I saw her tweet about it a little bit ago, and I love her stuff so much, I'm excited to see what she does!! (No need to compare us hahaha)
I made an area with timmy and tommy's shop where I put jail bars and slot machines and the spinning mario coins out front to make it look like a pawn shop in vegas. I think you could use more vending machines given the energy drink quest from Stray. ( I know you have some, but MORE lol)
I’m dying at trying to put the potted plants down. 😂 I was doing the same thing kicking up path & picking up wrong items while I was watching you build. Love this build. 😍
You're frickin amazing, EJ! I love watching your build videos - the way you layer everything and just fill all the space is so satisfying. The rooftop access area on the left building was so neat!!
I keep wanting to quote funny lines but every line is iconic so i can't timestamp the whole video D: i love the way you edited all the terraforming lmao 😅alsooo i've been having some bad days lately and your content really cheers me up a lot
Climbing walls turned backwards are really good, you can customize them to look like concrete.
I didn't know that
My biggest issue with the custom designs is that there's very little noise when you run across them, and I'm a sucker for the little tiptaps of little feets. Also, this might be my favorite island of yours so far, I'm literally obsessed
Love this kind of content, more of this please ❤
"you're either a clothesline or a clothseline pole island" proceeds to use both in the same build
Well, I AM a Gemini 😌
Omg I've missed this series, I'm sooo excited to see how this goes! You've inspired me to build a stray/dystopian core area on my island, I love your channel ♥️🫶🏻

Omg if this is right I'm gonna flip! that's major!
Can confirm this is true! I have it on my island!
LOL! (@1:46) I thought I was the only one who didn't like selling to Timmy. I try to exclusivly sell to Tommy and I get grumpy when I sell to Timmy.
Awesome build. Potential items that reference items in Stray: basketball, soda machine, something for grandma clothing like the tangled cords
THE BASKETBALL omg thank you for that
the frozen partition wall can be very helpful in giving glow effects depending how/where it’s used
looooove how this is coming along ✨ we
Helen really was obsessed with us! But OMG you continuously blow me away with these!! I'm living for this island and I love clutter so much! 😍😍😍
1:11 (shovel breaks) *HOMOPHOBIA* got me 😭😭
I found you and I love your humour and wholesome content! Happy that I came across[ing] your channel EJ! Loving your island so far!!!!!!! so creative!!!!
New personality test just dropped: are you a clothesLINE or clothesPOLE?
OH MY GOSH I LITERALLY REMEMBER STRAY RELEASE I LOVE STRAY SND ANIMAL CROSSING SM
YES! Nighttime build! What about the lighthouse? Hide it behind something but you’ll get the rotating lantern effect.

Thanks for liking my comment and again I hope you are doing well and that everything is going well for you and that you're having a happy week so far.
Just found this channel and I'm living for the vibes and the aesthetic ✨
I want to do something similar with my island so this is also good inspo :D
No paint buckets? No street piano? No retro tv?? No lucky gold cat????
I put paint buckets in there! But I'm gonna make a better homage to that area in another section. LOVE these suggestions though!!
Ok EJ, I'm only going to say this once so you don't get a big head.... You're.... a genuis. Simply a genius. Are you aware of how much of a genuis you are?

looks great! can you change the floor lights to a different color? maybe green?
OOO good idea! I'll play around with it
NO WAY i love the slums and the whole game and when i saw the thumbnail i was FLABBERGASTED
I'm so glad this was in my recommended videos. always happy to find a queer youtuber playing some of my favorite games. I love the Stray concept too! happily subscribing✨
EJ, you gotta try film projector (for the beam of light) and projector screen at night.. it gave out city vibe. (I learnt from Nora's vidoes).
I'm literally obsessed with Stray and Animal Crossing right now so I'm so happy I came across this video 😭😭❤
Can someone explain the Helen joke to me?😭 this is the first video of his I’ve ever watched but I’ve already subscribed
Don’t different color gyroids make different sounds? Or have I been collecting them all for nothing?
I just discovered your channel! I love your commentary you have great comedic timing! On my way to hit subscribe 😊
I agree with the clothes pole vs clothesline theory. My island is definitely clothesline at the moment.

What's the song playing in the back ground? I've been looking for it!💕
I love your channel and so glad seeing a new city type build! 😍 where did you get those rusty floor codes?? I swear I can’t find any good ones!
maybe the storage shed? the one you have to get the complete storage upgrades for.( im working on getting the money b/c i need two , one of them for petri) It seems like it might work as an alternate for the retro transportation stops. also the billiard table in the bar :)
Sloppy furniture would be good to use and the worn look garden furniture. I remember a little like mini sitting room on the upper levels too with a tv and sofa.
I honestly clicked because of the title and then stayed for the commentary 🤣🤣
I've been considering getting animal crossing because 2 of my friends play it, and this video finally convinced me to get it.
when the shovel breaks "homophobia" lol i'm gonna start saying that when my tools break
Ooooh I already love this idea, I have not played stray lol but I know the city is based off of the walled city of Kowloon and I for some reason have a fascination for that city
What about using the blossom viewing lantern and the blossom lamp?
I’ve missed this island ❤
there’s a jukebox in the bar & a computer if you wanna add the tv on a cart item too :)
maybe instead of the bar made with cliffs you could put a house there instead and decorate the villager's house
ah yes finally someone else who only sells to tommy because of their pure hatred of timmy
PSA: EJ LOOKS ADORABLE IN HIS OUTFIT!! FASHION ICON ⭐️
Ughhhhh love it. I feel like the Retro TV could fit in somewhere!
You never fail to have me cracking up when you're decorating 😂
Don't know if you know but Horrible Gaming started building a Stray island too, and I want to spam EJ DID IT FIRST AND HE'S DOING IT BETTER!
Oh yay! I'm so glad Nora is doing one! I saw her tweet about it a little bit ago, and I love her stuff so much, I'm excited to see what she does!! (No need to compare us hahaha)
I love your commentary lol def subbinggg
it's such a funny video then you get slapped in the face with 7:01 preach
i think you should use some street lamps to add more lights
I CANNOT wait to your this island
Cracking up through the ENTIRE build. XDDD
OH! I think some Servers would look nice sprinkled in!
Lava lamp and light up cube!
Garbage bags outside the bar??
I made an area with timmy and tommy's shop where I put jail bars and slot machines and the spinning mario coins out front to make it look like a pawn shop in vegas. I think you could use more vending machines given the energy drink quest from Stray. ( I know you have some, but MORE lol)
Love the way you comment 😂
I’m dying at trying to put the potted plants down. 😂 I was doing the same thing kicking up path & picking up wrong items while I was watching you build. Love this build. 😍

love this lil series
So cool at night! I was laughing my ass off with picking up wrong items and kicking up the path 😂
Let's freaking go!!!!!! Haven't watched yet but I'm so excited!!!
I loved how you started singing B*Witched. I was so obsessed with them when I was younger. ❤
Omg love this build!! I think you should use more of the party string lights, maybe one in the bar & one or two as you walk your way down the street!
Such a funny video, laughed so much 😂 The build looked amazing at night! 😮
Streetlight!
This looks soooo sick!! I didn't know you could customize the cube light like that!
damn this looks so great, especially at night !!!! A++++++ no notes
can we get the dream address for this island?
When it's done for sure!
im me
This build was amazing it really captured the vibes in the slums
another smash hit from our master of garbage! love how it looks at night. ✨
Coffee shops are lovely and I would love to run a coffee shop too.
duddee. use servers !!
YES! Ahh why haven't I been thinking of those!!
