King Appetite

Now that April is here, so are the pink trees of cherry blossom season! 🌸 Be sure to enjoy the pretty sights to see, in whichever Animal Crossing games you may be playing! 🙂

Pink trees for cherry blossom season.

Big Top was sick with a cold today, so I gave him some medicine. Get well soon!

Felicity asked me to make a delivery to Monty, and I agreed to help out. She sent him a candy gingham, and he hated it so much that he even barked like a dog. 😆

Monty: ...Woof. That's...quite a candy gingham. Yeah, that looks like something Felicity would make.

I thought that was harsh…but he wasn’t done! He continued to insult all of Felicity’s stuff! 😆

Monty: It's got that schlubby look, like all Felicity's stuff. Well, I for one won't roll over and accept this.

I went back and told Felicity the bad news, and it made her cry. But she rewarded me with a kiddie carpet for making the delivery.

I turned off the game for a while, but I returned tonight. Mint asked me to deliver a gift to Marina, but I was surprised by the present: It was a jungle camo! Why would an octopus need jungle camouflage?

Marina: Oh... Jungle camo.

Even though Marina wasn’t thrilled with it, she accepted it. So her reaction definitely wasn’t as bad as Monty’s earlier. When I returned to Mint, she rewarded me with a cowhide rug.

I went up to the Roost, and I found Felicity drowning her sorrows…with coffee.

Felicity, at the Roost: Psst! Hey! Dumpling! Whaddaya think, huh...? Do I look all grown up and stuff, drinking my coffee?

But she wasn’t just thirsty, she was hungry too. Very hungry!

Felicity: There's a little man haunting me today... And his name is KING APPETITE!

She referred to her seat as “VIP seating” for K.K.’s show, even though she’s facing the wrong way. 😛 But I sat down and enjoyed a performance of K.K. Rally before wrapping up my game for the night.

Return-Ed

When I played on Tuesday, I received Groucho’s goodbye letter in the mail. He says he’s going to drift wherever the wind takes him.

Jeff, It's been a blast, pal, but I've made up my mind and I'm moving far away. I've always been a drifter at heart: I'm going wherever the wind takes me. -Groucho

Saharah was in town, looking for old wallpaper. I asked my villagers for some, but only Felicity and Punchy were able to help me out.

Punchy: So, here, you can have my old wallpaper to recycle, too! Monk monk!

But fortunately, I also had one old wallpaper in storage. So I took the three over to Saharah, and she gave me a tree-lined wall for them.

Saharah: Here...a tree-lined wall. Very exotic... Treasure it. It is a very rare thing.

Today, I spotted a new house in the northeast part of town…where every potential house spot is currently occupied with a house. It’s a jumbled mess up there. 😛 But inside the new house, I found that Ed the horse has trotted back to town.

Ed: WHOA! You must be one of my new Forest neighbors!
Welcome to the neigh-borhood.

Ed lived in Forest before, back in 2014, when I was still taking screenshots in the standard (4:3) aspect ratio. 😆 Ed has never been a favorite of mine, but I don’t hate him either. He’s just a stable guy to have around, I guess.

After a trip to the city to get my hair changed back to normal, I bumped into Punchy behind Nook ‘n’ Go. He was telling me that he recently lost some weight.

Punchy: Guess what! Um...I...lost some weight! I think my belly's flatter, and my tail is definitely smaller!

I wasn’t sure where he was going what that, but I quickly found out. He said that being smaller would make him better at hiding; he was asking me to play hide-and-seek with him. I agreed, and he gave me ten minutes to find him, Marina, and Felicity. I quickly found Felicity hiding behind Nana’s house.

I later found Marina behind a cedar tree, and then Punchy was trying to hide behind a sign post! You haven’t lost that much weight, pal!

I won the game, so Punchy rewarded me with a mini fizzoid.

I posted a new video today, taking a look at eight things I’d like to see in the next Animal Crossing game. It includes a feature of City Folk that I’d like to return.

See you all next time!

Triangle Heads?

When I played yesterday, I received a letter from Mint in the mail. She thanked me for the medicine I gave her last week, and she sent me a daffodil table.

Big Top asked me to take a present over to Monty for him, and I agreed to help out. That gift was a men’s toilet, and Monty said that Big Top has a memory like an elephant! I wonder why. 🐘

Monty: A men's toilet? That takes me back. Big Top's got a memory like an elephant!

When I returned to Big Top, he gave me a robo-floor to thank me for making the delivery.

I visited Groucho, and I saw that he is now all packed up and ready to move out. I guess I played too late in the week to save him, but that’s alright.

Groucho: Yep, it's time to move on... Course, I do worry how you'll get on without me to bail you out of trouble...

He was still in town (and packed up) today, but he’ll be gone by the next time I play. Good luck in your travels, you big grouch.

Today, Antonio told me that Robin and Felicity have been hanging out a lot lately. They wouldn’t tell him what they were up to, but Antonio is convinced they’re making a race car that runs on pound cake. Seems legit.

Antonio: But I know they're making a race car that runs on pure pound cake! I can smell the exhaust!
Sounds like a sweet ride.

At the Roost tonight, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed “The K. Funk” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: The K. Funk.

I rode the bus out to the city, and I was trying to think of a screenshot I’ve never taken before. I’ve probably seen just about everything in this game, right? So this is what I came up with. 😆

Me standing behind a plant in the Happy Room Academy.

Standing behind the plant in the HRA, with just my mohawk (and a bit of my forehead) visible to reveal my location. 😛

I also went into GracieGrace and had a little chat with Puddles. She told me that Gracie’s clothes don’t look good on people with triangular heads.

Puddles: Have you noticed that Gracie's clothes don't look good on people with big triangle heads?
I hadn’t thought about that. It’s an interesting angle.

And now I suddenly want some Doritos. 😆
