On Tuesday, Marina asked if I’ve picked up any new hobbies lately. I said no, and she suggested trying some new recipes. Was this the seed that grew into crafting and cooking later in New Horizons?<\/p>\n\n\n

When I visited my other pink neighbor Nana, she asked me to catch a peacock for her! Unfortunately, it was the day after Festivale, so I was too late to catch Pav\u00e9. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n

Just kidding. She wanted a peacock butterfly<\/em>, even though she never mentioned the word butterfly. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saharah was in town, and she asked me for some old wallpaper. So I started asking around. Felicity told me that she had some old wallpaper the day before, but she just traded it for some slippers. That was random.<\/p>\n\n\n

Antonio helped me out by giving me some wallpaper, although he claimed to not know that Saharah even had <\/em>a name! He said he had just called her “Eyelash Lady.” <\/p>\n\n\n

Mint and Monty (M&M?) also had some old wallpaper for me, so I had the three that I needed! I took them back to Saharah, and she gave me a backgammon wall for them. I’m game for that. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n

I played some more City Folk again today, and Marina told me there was a painter in town. She was talking about Wendell, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Marina:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It just made me think what a shame it is that Wendell’s role has diminished in recent games. In New Leaf, he only existed in dreams. And then in New Horizons, he got completely replaced by a custom designs portal. He may still show up in the Roost if you use an amiibo card, but still, that’s disappointing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I ran into Wendell a few moments later. I shook down the apples from a nearby tree and gave him one. He thanked me and gave me not a coloring book, but a coloring Nook<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n

It’s a pattern of Tom Nook that’s not filled in. You can color it in yourself, if you’d like.<\/p>\n\n\n

I later spotted a peacock butterfly flying around! I caught it and took it over to Nana. (I like how they give you a few days for requests in this game.)<\/p>\n\n\n

She rewarded me with a lattice wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marina has been toying with the idea of moving out, but I finally got her to change her mind after about six attempts. I can’t let my 3rd favorite villager leave, especially when she just got here! And speaking of that, would you like to know where I’d rank all <\/em>of my villagers? I recently ranked my villagers in all eight of my Animal Crossing towns, and you see the full lists in this video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
