Unhinged animal crossing rabbit hole.
ive been playing animal crossing new leaf again, because as dope as new horizons is the villagers feel a little flat in comparison with past games.
Anyway, i've fallen into a strange rabbit hole of like. villager identity politics. they clearly self identify with their own species (a peppy villager in new horizons will mention a "fashionable [species] monthly" magazine. In the original game, tom nook will mention a "mammal strike" when calculating the debt for your first home loan, and Hopkin's photo quote says something alone the lines of "a wise mammal avoids danger". Are there like. taxonomic based class structures. Is biological essentialism a right wing talking point - also, almost every business is owned by a mammal, with the exception of really only the Roost (i'd argue that the museum is a not for profit) and maybe Club Lol, but Dr Shrunk did have to come begging to the mayor to get signatures so...
Are semi-aquatic villagers like octopodes and frogs oppressed?? is there equal representation for non-mammalian constituents??? The only interspecies romance we see in game is Lottie's (otter) crush on Digby (dog) in happy home designer - all other couples (Kapp'n and Lelani, Reese and Cyrus, whatever is going on between Pete, Pelly and Phylis) are between the same species. I think villagers, in older games, will talk about rumours of one villager having a thing for another but I can't find any dialogue dumps so I can't find any evidence of this.
Also! You as a human - at least the lazy (or maybe smug?) villagers will refer to you as their 'favorite human', so it's probably not taboo to mention species at least. In the gamecube game your mother questions why you'd even want to live with animals - "don't they smell bad?" so there is clearly discrimination between species, even if its not at an institutional level. Also - all of (most of, but like - thats all representative stuff) the museum artwork depicts real human painted artwork, with humans in it. Interesting aside - why does no-one know the correct name for the artwork? Why did some random guy get it on his boat with his other sketchy wears?
#Anyway#I'm firmly convinced the answer is 'its not that deep' and that the animal crossing games#should not be considered part of the same timeline#animal crossing#animal crossing meta#i guess#if this reads as unhinged rambling know it felt that way to type#if anyone can find a dialogue dump from *any* of the games older than new horizons#pls link it to me - i need to see if there is any other dialogue about this

My Friend and the Sunset from Kirby Super Star
More under the cut for ten total
Planet Popstar from Kirby 64
Grass Land from Kirby's Epic Yarn
Mt. Dedede from Kirby's Dream Land (also just Dedede in general)
Boarding the Halberd from Kirby Super Star
Castle Lololo from Kirby's Dream Land (also associated with Dynablade) albeit based more on the Super Star Spring Breeze rendition
Frozen Hillside from Kirby Air Ride
Bubbly Clouds from Kirby's Dream Land
Wind Blowing on Earthfall from Kirby Star Allies (ending is a bit truncated here)

do you ever think about how Ohkubo extremely casually dropped the fact that Spirit & Kami were teen parents & then proceeded to never expound upon that fact or bring it up ever again despite it explaining a whole lot about them & Maka
#I think a big part of why I'm so attached to/interested in spirit as a character is because he objectively has A LOT going on in his life.#but because he was created to fill that stock pervy comedic-relief anime side-character archetype we never get to see any of it examined.#or even brought up at all for the most part#like spirit apparently comes from a long line of death weapons who despite having been loyal to lord death for generations are never ever#mentioned & who spirit himself never mentions despite carrying on the family tradition (although he's not unique in that regard tbh)#at 12-13 years old he becomes stein's weapon partner & in his own words it became “[spirit's] job to control [stein].”#another kid with a laundry list of mental health & behavioral issues that spirit probably wasn't super prepared to help “control”#(personally I think that this “job” of spirit's was a duty he took upon himself rather than something lord death necessarily told him to do)#then just ~5 years later he 1) loses/rejects said weapon partner & probably best friend after some really major boundaries were crossed#2) becomes a husband & father at just 18#(& in his own words a broke 18 year old at that. another point towards him not being in contact with any family if they're even alive)#3) becomes technically one of the most important people in the world once he ascends to being a death weapon.#not necessarily in that exact order but certainly in quick succession.#& then we fast forward to canon & spirit's at best a guy who drinks way more than he probably should & at worst a functioning alcoholic#who's only A MONTH into being divorced for his habitual infidelity & is in the really weird position of being the primary caretaker of his#daughter who (rightfully) hates him despite him having zero custodial rights over her.#& imo he seems to have no friends in death city before stein & the other death scythes return despite generally being a people person.#like. spirit is kind of the epitome of should've been at the club lmao#soul eater#spirit albarn#kami albarn#meta (kind of. not really lol)

ok hear me out: AU where all the smash fighters not explicitly killed in the World of Light opening cutscene somehow survive and have to take on their post-apocalyptic world together
a comprehensive list on which smash fighters died in Galeem's initial attack:
the "not seen killed but there IS a body" tier is for characters who we don't see vaporized by galeem's light but are clearly visible in the scene with all the puppet fighters. I tried my best but that scene is REALLY dark with the only visible light being the glowing eyes so if you can point to a puppet fighter and say "that's X, you can tell because of their Y" I'll take them off the survivor tier
making this tierlist made me realize how few characters we see actually killed. not shulk? not fox? not THE MARIO BROTHERS??? (obviously mario is the one who we see puppeted but we never see his actual death and that surprised me)
and if we count the DLC fighters and Kirby that's a total of 52 survivors of Galeem's attack and that's a lot so to make it more bite-sized i split them up into groups like how you see people group up in zombie movies. they're also grouped by theme!
Have some lore for them, too! Beware my severe bias towards a few groups.
"The Survivor" - Kirby! Survived Galeem's initial attack by temporarily warping to a different dimension.
"The Littles" - Bowser Jr, the Ice Climbers, Little Mac, Pichu, Olimar and Alph, Ness, Lucas, Isabelle, and Meta Knight. These fighters are all children or physically small in some way. They all attempted to use the rocks and mountain faces as cover against the initial attack, but lost their footing and fell off the cliff as Galeem's rays destroyed it. Little Mac caught Pichu and tried to shield her with his own body as they fell.
Olimar and Alph were saved by their Winged Pikmin, Meta Knight saved himself with his wings, Isabelle caught herself with the balloons from her Up Special, and Bowser Jr. used the propeller of his Koopa Clown Car. Olimar and Alph caught Popo and Nana, Lucas grabbed Bowser Jr. with Rope Snake, Meta Knight caught Ness, and Isabelle caught Mac (and Pichu by extension).
By the time they had reached the bottom of the valley, Galeem was so distracted with trying to annihilate Kirby that he didn't notice that The Littles were still alive. They survived the universe-consuming blast by hiding out in a cave, since that blast seemingly did not affect the terrain.
"The Nobles" - Peach, Daisy, Chrom, King Dedede, Ganondorf, Corrin, King K. Rool, Lucina, Roy, and Marth. These fighters are all royalty or have noble blood flowing through their veins.
"The Perserverers" - Cloud, Ike, Ken, Simon, Richter, Ryu, Robin, Luigi, the Miis, Wario, and Shulk. Okay I'll be honest there's no theme with this one. I originally wanted Incineroar in this group and the theme to be they all had jobs that had to do with kicking people's asses but then there was Luigi and Wario and all the other guys and I just threw the theme out the window lol.
"The Non-Humans" - Incineroar, Wolf, Dark Samus, Yoshi, R.O.B, Pac-Man, Ridley, Donkey Kong, and Mr. Game & Watch. These fighters are all non-human. Game & Watch and Pac-Man survived by simply being too Flat but I'm unsure how the others would have escaped.
"The Newcomers" - Piranha Plant, Joker, Hero, Banjo and Kazooie, Terry, Byleth, Min-Min, Steve, Sephiroth, Pyra and Mythra, Kazuya, and Sora. These fighters are the DLC characters. Survived Galeem's initial attack by virtue of being in a different dimension when it happened. Pulled through time and space to the World of Light, they band together to find a way back to their home dimensions (although for some, this team-up happened very begrudgingly).
I don't know much about some of these franchises, so I'm welcome to suggestions to help me develop this AU! Seriously I am on my hands and knees BEGGING for suggestions because so far the only group that is developed is The Littles 😭

Back on Animal Crossing rabbit holes -
Have you ever considered that not all of the villagers are like. Living animals. Like - Stiches is a stuffed bear, Hoppkins is a pool toy, Sprocket, Cepholabot and others are robots, Coco is a gyroid - Tangy is a mandarin.
How did they gain sentience? Are the robot villagers actually sentient or are they just convincing facsimiles? Who made them? Do they have the same rights as 'real' animals? How does taxonomy work if a stuffed animal is considered more closely related to a bear than an actual mammal.
The museum in New Horizons clearly implies that all of the villagers evolved from their namesake species - so like. Most of them are real animals - what does that mean for the others?

5 comfort characters
As always, @treshmind , thank you for the tag, it is a pleasure <3
I'm limiting myself to no OCs, and one character per series/origin/etc. In no particular order:
Meta Knight | Kirby
I still someday want to make a long video going into the phoenix-like nature of his character arc, and how he shifts. He starts off with “I want to be the most powerful warrior, and everyone else should strive to meet the same standard”. Over time, he's transitioned to “I want to be stronger so that I can protect those that are not.” It's incredible.
Cream Unicorn Cookie | Cookie Run
Sir that's my emotional support canonically non-binary character with a love for both pastels and the combination of pastels and dark colours. Who is pretty much the embodiment of nostalgia. Who has abandonment issues. … I'm sure the fact that I heavily relate to them says nothing about me.
Gundham Tanaka | Danganronpa
Danganronpa really was the series of “Every Character Deserved Better… Writing-Wise.” Gundham Tanaka is one of the few exceptions. Oh, don't get me wrong, he's too great to be here, and I will always be wishing more time was spent on him, but DAMN. They may not have meant to make one of the most well-written autistic-coded bisexual characters of all time, but they sure did anyway.
Henry | Fire Emblem
Crow man crow man crow man- I think I immediately grew attached to this guy from the moment he introduced himself. And then he's just…lovely. A character who smiles almost constantly, has a grim sense of humour, loves blood, loves crows, practices dark magic, would kill for his friends and loved ones, also very autistic-coded, quite literally raised by wolves, what's not to love?
Label/Labelle | Animal Crossing
A really touching story. Here you have a character who struggled with family bonds, and desperately wanted to find herself, who eventually reunited with her family after gaining a better sense of identity. She's become warmer over time, and will grow progressively friendlier to the player character. Plus, who doesn't love a fashion-forward gal?
… The matching colour palettes, if you're wondering, were semi-intentional, but not entirely. I'm realizing I could do another 5 with another colour palette.
I've already done my tagging today, so if you see this and want to join, consider yourself an honorary tag <3
