If you haven't caught Gravity Falls prior, highly recommend and a lot of people from Owl House worked on it.
Anne of Green Gables is also an easily accessible cottagecore series of books.
No joke, I was always of the mind that cats were smarter than dogs, just because of how regal the cats I grew up with were. I never had a ginger cat before now, they lower the intelligence of the entire species.
We put our faith in Blast Hardcheese!
He's a special guy, all orange cats are. XD

I usually just use UNE, it's PWYW and really useful for me, I also have a random race table if needed. But usually the NPC details come to me in the context of the scene so UNE gives me what I need to round them out.
Mythic Gm Assistant is great for the phone tho I prefer to use the web based apps, there's a lot and I like imthe UIs better.
That sounds wonderful! Do you do so yourself? I hear it's quite meditative as a hobby.
Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree is a really sweet, low stakes fantasy read for those that are looking for something a little different.
The Secret Garden is available as a free audiobook on YouTube, this is one of my favorites and one of the quintessential cottagecore books in my humble opinion.
Thank you for making this community! I think there's a lot of overlap between the two, at least for me there is.
I started a Cottagecore community and it's doing okay, mostly just trying to think of megathreads that the community needs to have and trying to start conversations. It's not really catching yet but I have hope. Keep it up, we can make this place great, I think!
