Island Updates
Jun. 24th, 2020 09:28 amThis has more or less died down during the past month, but in April and May there was some intense Animal Crossing discourse on Twitter. Some people really hate certain islanders, while other people have made a point of critiquing the culture of getting islanders you dislike to leave.
I don't care either way. Some of my islanders have grown on me, and I've learned to tolerate others. My main priority is building a vast maze on a far corner of the island, but I try to be nice to everyone.
Except for Rodney, a "smug hamster" who looks and acts like a total tool. I don't know what it was about Rodney, but I fucking hated him. The day he finally left the island, I actually texted multiple people I know in real life to tell them the good news.
I still have a crush on Tom Nook and Blathers, but my current favorite NPC is Flick, the bug catcher and artist who talks like a college student on LiveJournal circa 2006. He's very sweet, and he has more or less single-handedly helped me pay off my home loan. I don't know where he gets all the money he gives me for moths and spiders, but I respect and appreciate him.
