#im so happy any official content of tabby is awesome shes my fave i looooove her so much SHES SO SILLY!!!#and boots was one of my starting residents on acnh so he holds a special place in my heart#in case anyone was wondering which im sure you were not. my other starting villager on acnh was rocket and shes soooo silly i love rocket#not enough people love her like shes so silly. u are all HATERS#anyway i love talking about my acnh villagers I WISH I HAD MY ACNL ONES WRITTEN DOWN. the only ones i remember are tabby and kyle#but my acnh ones atm (and when i say atm i mean they will be probably til the end of time)#are my guy sherb (found on one of the ticket islands)#stiches (who i also found on an island i think?)#chai (i have her amiibo card shes so cute.)#tammi (another island find)#stella (man i really did just take the first villagers i found on an island and kept them huh)#rocket and boots (starter villagers)#tabby (I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO TRADE HER TO ME ON REDDIT I THINK? and then they were like oh if shes ur fave u can just have her +#like for free. AND THAT WAS SOOOO AWESOME)#bea (i think she was also a ticket island thingy find)#and finally... tom (ok he has a fun story.#i think it was margie who lived on my island at the time and listen she was SUCH a sweetheart i wanted to keep her forever#(she replaced drift who i found on an island and he was mean to me so i have beef with him. still. like four years later.)#but them tom showed up as a camper and i got this crazy hit of nostalgia and i remembered my guy tom was in my childhood city folk town#and i was like.

Back on my shitposting Bullshit. This posts theme is something I had already done on my older writing blog and I always love making headcanons so here it is for JJBA. (Jodio not included yet)
 Feel free to drop in my ask box if you miss any character and wanna hear what I think or for literally anything else. (Please remeber to not send in too many charcters, Ill set the limit for now at 6)
Anyways, I hope yall get a kick out of my funky ideas. 
----------------------
1-8 JoJo’s x Reader - Playing Animal Crossing Together
Wordcount:
Short summary: My personal headcanons on the JoJo’s playing Animal Crossing with references to you and their friends.
Warnings: None. Only wholesomeness here., except for Joseph srynotsry
-----------------------
Jonathan:
Loves it, huge fan of the tiny wholesome animal game.
Speedwagon showed it to him, knowing Jonathan would love it.
Jonathan puts a big effort into keeping his island pretty, villagers happy, filling the museum, sending gifts and letters to his friends and you.
Most wholesome player you'll ever encounter, that happily trades anything he has.
Loves to buy furniture and clothing for you to surprise you with it.
 🌟
Joseph:
Wasn’t that big into it until he discovered the custom pattern function.
Now he's a menace, using loads of cursed patterns to paint his island in and give his villagers ugly shirts.
His own character wears a "Pussy Master" shirt.
Will visit Caesar’s and your island just to mess with you and gift your villagers ugly clothing and furniture.
Avid time skipper.
Biggest troll you two know and yet you love him.
  🌟
Jotaro:
Not interested, didn't know what it was until he saw you having fun with it.
He asked Kakyoin what the game is, and he happily showed Jotaro.
Jotaro eventually surprises you with a friend request on your switch.
He doesn't do much around his island, just places some stuff here and there.
Is absolutely obsessed over aquatic Villagers and filling the fish part of the museum to take pictures there with you.
  🌟
Josuke:
Organized Town, pretty layout, casual player that takes his time to slowly work towards everything.
Will make his house gaming themed.
One part of the island is dedicated to recreating the cafe and fill it with references to you and his other friends.
Eager to get his friendship up with all his villagers, loves to give them gift and talks to them daily.
Loves the Nookmile tickets/ Kapp'n trips and goes on them whenever he can.
  🌟
Giorno:
Froggy Chair obsessed.
Owns the Sanrio Amiibo cards and decorates with it.
Also has all the villager amiibo cards and everyone is welcome to borrow them to get their favorites on their respective islands.
Loves the museum and eagerly works on filling it, gifting anything he already has to you.
Cute natural island theme with loads of plants and occasional duplicated statues spread around.
Made a cute park for you that has lots of hybrid flowers and cutesy furniture.
Loves all villagers, but his favorites are the frogs.
  🌟
Jolyne:
Surprisingly organized in a sense?
Like you, Ermes, FF and her share a group chat where everyone posts their newest decoration updates, what villagers moved in and might move out, turnip prices.
You trade furniture for the catalog and help each other's museum, teamwork makes the dream work.
Loads of pictures of you four hanging out in the coffeeshop.
One room in her house is dedicated to you and filled with references to your relationship.
Anasui is banned from all islands, and you designed a custom pattern with his face and a red X on it that all of you have next to your airport.
  🌟
Johnny:
Johnny wasn't big into it at first and then got completely hooked.
Only Horse and Mouse villagers.
Western themed all the way. Kentucky state flag as his island flag.
Loves Gyroids and has multiple in each room.
Gyro and he trade furniture and ignore the museum completely. They are only interested in decorating their homes and island to have it perfect.
Made it big with turnips but refuses to explain to Gyro how it works.
  🌟
Gappy:
Was confused at first why you liked the game so much.
Yasuho and you made him his sailor outfit and buy him some furniture to start him up with.
You two explain the whole concept roughly to him and then let him play.
You never expected him to figure it out super quickly and making loads of money with turnips.
His house was upgraded faster than yours and Yasuho’s, he began making his own custom paths, made an orchard on his island.
He quickly takes a huge liking to the game and loves everything about it.
He leaves the island largely as it is, the only stuff he really decorates are his house, the orchard (reminiscent of the Higashikata one) and the little area with his villagers.
The rooms in his house are all dedicated to a person that he then decorates accordingly to. (You, Yasuho, Holly, the Higashikata Family etc)

I just got an NFC plastic ID card printer which is like the most hyperfixation random purchase but:
Tumblr media
Ez amiibo cards
nice plastic cards I can print for people to take to cons in lanyards that link back to their socials
make a copy of my game collection in a card deck with custom art. Right now the scans will just have to go to a link containing the ROM, but when NFC gets more storage capabilities I can just carry entire retro games on a plastic card with no volatile memory!!!
PROXY CARDS! I'm never buying trading/game cards ever, I'm just gotta print them on some nice plastic that's never gonna rip or break, and if you scan it it'll go to some link that'll read the entire card aloud or smth. This also lets me go make my own card games or weird wacky stuff! Maybe my favorite videos or websites I'll just place on a card as a physical bookmark.
cannot wait to roll up to my first card game with thick plastic NFC cards with goofy ass changed artwork and then my holy grail of dice I own:
Tumblr media
suggestions for an equally bizzare deck box to hold them in welcome

What kind of branded merchandise or sponsorships do you think Victoria sold as part of New Wave and what does she regret most an adult now?
Well, canonically we know about:
- Glory Girl Poster
- Glory Girl trading cards
- Glory Girl amiibo equivalent
Headcanon:
- Glory Girl pajamas with her smiling face radiating an aura
- Glory Girl tiaras (spikes with real face stabbing action!)
- Glory Girl action figure with breakable desk set
- Glory Girl branded dumpsters (with authentic Nazi crippled replica)!

— Choosing Villagers —
As always I recommend choosing at least one villager from every personality type (there's 8 total) and pick any of your remaining favourites for your remaining two - making 10 villagers in all! The reason for this is your villagers will teach you random reactions based on their personality list or send you items according to certain types or styles. So without have a diverse island, you could be missing out on cool new stuff!
Finding specific villagers can be hard, but here are a few ways to find them if you have an open slot or a villager moving out!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Always check who's in your campsite when you have it unlocked. You never know who's going to pay you a visit and it could be someone you never thought of or met before! Or maybe someone you really want!
Tumblr media
If you're able to get some nook miles tickets (NMT) - use them to explore new islands! If you have an open plot you have a 100% chance of finding a random villager there! Even if you don't like the villager you find, don't forget to look around that island for some resources - chop those trees for wood, collect those seashells, hit the rocks for clay and iron, and dig up the flowers or fruit trees (by eating a piece of fruit) so you can plant them on your own island! If you're lucky enough to get a bamboo island, I also recommend chopping bamboo or digging up the shoots. These come in handy for some DIY recipes!
Tumblr media
If you have amiibo cards of a villager you want - head into your resident services building and scan it using the ABD to your right by using your right joystick. This only works if someone isn't already in your campsite - so be careful! If you scan them in on three different days and do the tasks they ask of you, you can talk to them about moving in! Even if your island is full, you are able to ask a villager to move out to make room. Kind of a rude eviction, but they'll find an island that's their forever home!
Tumblr media
If you aren't afraid of chatting up a few strangers and trading things in-game like bells, items, other villagers (if they are in boxes - or in the process of moving out!) or NMT I recommend sites like Nookazon or even Discord Servers or groups dedicated to all things Animal Crossing. These places are a great way to find someone who can help you get that villager you want! They'll simply invite you to their island after you agree on a fair trade. You'll bring whatever they asked of you to their island and drop it on the ground for them. Afterwards, they will direct you to the villager's house who you can go in and ask if they'd like to move to your island!

ok im playing more zelda!! i feel awful this is literally all i can do rn
you know i miss the match over bell from botw. it was so good
FAIRIES IN THIS CAVE...thank god
i fucking hate this place btw. rauru's settlement or whatever. i hate bottomless bogs
i guess in regards to gameplay it's not that different than lava - more forgiving, even! lava kills you instantly and sometimes you can fight your way out of a bog! - but it FEELS worse. it's uglier for one thing
i'm really close to the lost woods so i'm gonna see if i can navigate it without a torch! since i can see the wind blowing. i have so many korok seeds to trade in lol
took me one false start but i made it! i just had to walk veeery slowly lol
MAXED OUT my weapon storage already. damn.
going to check out a tiny chasm i've been eyeballing forever. i deserve a break
i used to feel so nervous being this close to hyrule castle in botw...the hills between it and the lost woods...it's not as bad in totk although i am still hugging the water. i don't want the music to play lol
fucking korok seed i was supposed to get by starting a fire and using a pinecone to go straight up. it was raining. i had to make the most convoluted structure out of dead trees it took FOREVERRR
how exciting!! after awhile away from the depths i land right on top of a yiga camp AND i can see an easy lightroot from here. a gentle reintroduction
ooh, this book talks about lights that appear and then vanish....that's fucking spooky. i hope they dont mean hands lol
ive been wanting to try "hoverbikes" that ive heard about and theres some fans here, so
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OH THIS IS THE MOST FUN IVE EVER HAD. WOW
ok my bike died but for a test run that was NOT bad
this area is all explored except this one dark spot that i've just now lit up...i'll grab a few poes and go somewhere else
i'm gonna go to goron city and buy my stupid fire helmet. i swear if i don't kill that gleeok on lake hylia i'll die
oh! i found the goron brothers house! kabetta's diary...
uh oh, it's his marbled rock roast descent
ooh, i found the sidequest to get a boulder breaker!!
where tf do i get a cobble crusher these days i wonder...
god i forgot how fun minecarts are. i saw one of the oldstyle ones on my way by...
kilton's balloon! or um. whoever he is lol <3 i have TOOOONS of gems to trade
it's not the same here without the lava, but at least there's lava in the caves...
these mine cart tracks were RIDICLOUS. i got SO STUCK lol
i see dinraAl but im too close to the ground 😭
OOOOHHHHH maybe i can use a hoverbike.....i gotta finish this fight first lol
GOT A COBBLE CRUSHER.....oh man i almost LEFT these guys to go chase dinraal!!!
ok ok gotta hurry
so, this bike doesn't control as well as i';'d like...maybe i need practice...and of course i wish it was faster...but it's still REALLY cool
my battery keeps dying/my bike keeps falling :( i give up
ugh i have so much anxiety about dragon parts.
VAH RUDANIA HELM??????? HELLOOOOOO
oh my god...i didnt even have this in botw, i dont have the amiibo card....................
aw i found some monster forces guys. of COURSE im gonna help them
OH we still get the bell after monster forces battles...good
NO FUCK AND THEY JUST LEFT. AND THERE'S ABOUT TO BE A BLOOD MOON LOL
i didnt get all my loot yet!! no one to help me when they come back!! im gonna die!!!
im not leaving w/o my Loot. i'll just have to do it on my own. thank god i have muddlebuds
GEEZ i did it. double loot
i can see the edge of the map! that sort of thing always did fascinate me...some of the textures are warped here lol that's creepy
ok, i looked it up and apparently i made my hoverbike wrong. im gonna try again w proper instruction!!
ok, new bike got me up to the top of gut check rock...it still has too much forward momentum for me, but i've seen a couple of different designs i wanna experiment with when i have more fans (currently only have 2 left in inventory)
i miss the goron blood brothers :( i mean it's so depressing that there's nothing up here but a korok seed...
ANOTHER EVENTIDE SHRINE. FUCK ME SIDEWAYS i hate this bs!!!
ok fine that wasnt that bad. STILL
bike is LOTS harder to control with a korok on the back. i like of like the counterweight though to help with too much momentum...
the bike lists to one side! i definitely just need to improve my fan placement
woke up the horse god. JUST as unsettling as i remember.
omg the yiga hideouts REFILL after long enough. rip!
decided to fight the pirates while i was here. "monster forces"...hope i'm not supposed to be teaming up with anyone for this lol
i accidentally hit my bike during combat and it went over the side of the boat 😭 i can make another and i was gonna fast travel after this anyway but STILL......
AUGH it's dinraal again and once again i can't chase her...i know how to do the bike now but i don't have it and also i'm busy!!!!! ugh
248 korok seeds!! officially time for bed - when i started today i was somewhere in the mid 100s lol
i thought i wouldn't play enough tonight to need to make multiple posts but i guess i should have broken this one up, huh? whoops!

Animal Crossing amiibo cards for Sale
I've made a number of amiibo card trading and, later on, selling posts in the past. After I brought my number of needed amiibo cards down to nine and the most recent trading/selling post stopped gaining notice for some time, I bought the final handful individually on eBay. Now I still have a bunch of duplicate amiibo cards left over from the first four series, the Welcome amiibo series, and the New Horizons fifth series. So...so many from the New Horizons fifth series.
Since I have pretty much all the cards I want now, I have nothing left to trade for, so this is exclusively a selling post. (Unless maybe you have a spare Japanese promo "CP" card for Isabelle or K.K. you're willing to trade off, because I'll take 'em for collection purposes, but I am not desperate enough to spend over a hundred bucks to a couple of scalpers.)
Most of the duplicates I have are North American versions (they are labeled with two alternate name translations and their birthday formatted as MM/DD), and the occasional European versions of the cards that end up in my duplicate piles are labeled as such in the list below (they are labeled with four alternate name translations and their birthday formatted as DD/MM). I will sell anywhere between 1 to 6 cards at a time, and the price I am asking for is 1 dollar per card plus 64 cents to the total. If I’m mailing outside of the United States, that’s 1 dollar extra.
Below the cut is a list of all the duplicates I have to sell. I will update the post to remove whichever cards get sold the day they get shipped. Feel free to IM me to discuss shipping and PayPal information if you wish to buy. (Or trade if you have one of those "CP" cards.)

Here's what I got for Christmas for 2022.
I got Diary of a Wimpy Kid Diper Overlode, a Sonic Unleashed Suitcase if I were to put something in. I got an Isabelle muchi muchi pillow. Which I was gonna get a Tails one, but didn't have it. Speaking of Tails, I got a Tails Plushie and even got a Knuckles one as well since I have like a 2003 version of the Knuckles Plush from like Sonic X or something. I got two Pikachu Plushies that are summer themed since Summer is my favorite season. Like I got the one with the hat and the one with the blue hibiscuit, since I remember seeing the Pikachu Plushies like that at GameStop since I didn't know GameStop can sell merchandise like plushies and clothes and other misc stuff since it usually sells Video games. Cause I have been to GameStop for many years every time I want to go and buy a video game. And for video games, I got 3 Switch games and a PlayStation 4 and a PlayStation 5 game. For PlayStation 5, I got Destruction All-stars and for PlayStation 4, I got Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, since I do love Need for Speed a lot since it is my favorite Racing game I can play. But for Destruction All-stars however, I'll give the game a shot just depends if I have enough memory on my PlayStation 5 until I get a SSD Hard Drive that can get them all in. For Switch, I got Kirby Star Allies which I'll be playing until I get Kirby and the Forgotten Land, which would be bizarre if I had to get 2 Copies like one for me and one for my sister. Cause my sister does want to try that game out too. I got Pokemon Scarlet cause I know if some people have Pokemon Violet, I might play with others especially if I want to battle or trade. And avoid any of the glitchy parts until they decide to update the game. Next I got a Mario Party Superstars game which I have played Super Mario Party with other people including like my sisters played it and same for people online, which I should give it a shot with playing Mario Party Online since it isn't fun when playing multiplayer games by yourself. I got a Bluey cup like if I were getting a small drink like Hot Chocolate or something warm. And for Bluey in a Christmas special, what's confusing is that Bluey celebrates Christmas in the Summer. That's cause in the Summer Hemisphere like Brazil, Australia, New Zealand Etc. Bluey does come from the Country, Australia cause the seasons are a lot different compared to the Northern Hemisphere. I got a PlayStation 5 Controller in Red since I do enjoy some of the different colors of the controllers. And if my White Controller is low on Batteries, I can always charge it and use a different controller. And if they're both fully charged, I'm sure I can invite a friend over and play a 2 player game as well as for having either my brother or Sisters playing with me. I got some new Pure Bass Wireless Bluetooth Headphones like the JBL Brand, now I can still use some Noise Cancelling stuff so no sounds would ever bother me like if i were sleeping or wanting to listen to music while not being interrupted for anything not important. And finally, I got a Sonic Unleashed Suitcase like if I were going to put something in it like pencils or bookmarks and stuff. And I got some Sonic theme socks which are from the Sequel to the Live Action Sonic Movie even though I haven't seen it yet, which I should if I want to watch it on Hulu or Paramount+ I also got these Animal Crossing Amiibo Cards from Series 5, but they're so small that my mom said they still work. But I have to test them when I get the chance. And that's all the Presents I got for This year's Christmas. I hope everyone will have a Merry Christmas.

So, for people not tuned into the Farm Sim Localization Divorce, every time a Story of Seasons title comes out, Natsume puts out one of their titles using the old trademark (which I will avoid using here in an effort to evade the search function because this is by its nature gonna be a 'point and laugh' post and THIS ONE looks like it might actually be decent, perhaps.)
We don't know much about the upcoming title, except that apparently Natsume HAS caught up with *checks notes* literally everyone else in the genre down to SQUARE ENIX'S foray-but-not, Harvestella, and FINALLY un-gender-locked romances! Yay! We have seen a trailer, and for once it looks... promising? Maybe? But we've all been burned before here.
This post, however, is not about anything with the upcoming game.
This post is about one of its preorder bonuses. For $124.99 US, you can get the ultimate collector's edition! It comes with a cow plushie (which is available with all the preorders,) a card depicting the Harvest Goddess (which you can buy on its own for $15 US), and a chicken backpack.
You can also buy the chicken backpack solo!
Tumblr media
[ID: A screenshot from Natsume's website showing a white rectangular backpack with orange piping, orange handles on top, a yellow chick on the front panel, and a face with a yellow beak and round black eyes on the base of the orange straps. It costs $124.99 US, but is on sale for $99.99 US. End ID]
Yes. Those are eyes.
It stares into your soul.
It stares into all of our souls.
And given its price bought solo is IDENTICAL to the price of the ultimate edition, if you buy that you are essentially getting a free game, cow plushie, and overpriced trading card with your chicken backpack. (Seriously I've seen Amiibo cards of highly in-demand characters that cost less than that.)
I admit, if it weren't for the eyes, it would be a pretty cute backpack, but I can't shake the thought that it's staring at me.

Week 10 - All This...For a Cat???
When you think of Animal Crossing New Horizons, what comes to mind? Soft, calming music? Friendly neighbours who give you presents just for saying hello? A life filled with peace of mind and financial freedom the likes of which you could never even dream of having in real life because capitalism is-
Moving on...Surely when you see an image like this:
Tumblr media
You don’t think of seedy blackmarket trading and obsessive fans all in the pursuit of one cat, right?
Some context first; Animal Crossing New Horizons follows you, the player character, playing as yourself as you escape to a deserted island in order to create your very own island paradise filled with flora and fauna and loads of friendly villagers alike. (Nintendo n.d.) It’s truly the epitome of the ideal life many of us wish to lead. Speaking of villagers though, as you expand your island and carefully curate it to your liking you’ll be approached by in-game villagers also seeking to get away and live on an island paradise with you as their mayor. And that’s where it all started.
This is Raymond.

A smug little cat villager dressed in business attire, you have to admit he is kinda cute. He’s also one of the hardest players to get within the ACNH universe. You see, Raymond can only be gotten through either by buying his Amiibo cards, which are sold in random packs of three so it’ll be ages before you actually get him, or by just sheer blind luck and determination with visiting other islands and hoping, praying you run into him. With over 100 different villager options though, you’re hard pressed either way. (Megarry 2024)
You can however, get your friends who already have him to trade him to you for a small price. With how rare he is though, and with so few players having him, it started an underground black market of trading between online players. Prices to get Raymond skyrocketed, with users who already did have him charging ludicrous prices to those who wished to buy him. It was truly a dark time in the once cheery community. However, good always wins in the end..somehow?
For a short period of time, the Internet was flooded with people sharing their own tips and tricks to get Raymond without needing to go through scalpers. The entire community came together to help one another through the use of online forums like Quora and various Animal Crossing related wikis all to get this particular cat. Now while I don’t necessarily see the hype behind a cat in a suit (please don’t kill me I have a family), I can enjoy the touching display shown within the community to help one another.
