#moving a desk

In the past, people in the Animal Crossing community would make fun of Tom Nook as a sleazy landlord. Since then, he's really rehabilitated his image as this 'heart of gold' businessman (he's the one who puts bells and furniture in trees for you to find! he adopted orphans! he donates to charity!), but New Horizons genuinely paints the most devious version of him.

He's successfully privatized settler colonialism: you pay HIM to move to a "deserted island" (which apparently the oceans in the AC world are just full of) and start a colony that he is directly invested in. At best he's running a weird vacation package scam (you arrive on the island with no money and in debt for "using his services"). At worst, he's using you to set up company towns. For god's sake, he literally has his own fake currency that he forces you to use to pay off your debt. But don't worry, he's repackaged it in a way that definitely doesn't sound like an MLM scam: the Nook Mileage Program!

You're no longer just his tenant or his temporary part-timer, you're his business lackey. The entire tutorial section of the game has you spending actual weeks running around completing tasks and doing hard labor to set up his colony. You're even tasked with preparing his properties and finding buyers for them. No, you aren't a tenant anymore. You work for the landlord. You are directly responsible for finding tenants for him. And he doesn't even fucking pay you. Not for setting up town hall and museum, or his nephew's shop –– which is the ONLY store on the entire island that sells necessities –– or bringing KK Slider to town, or helping populate his town. Not a single cent. No, actually, you have to pay HIM to BUY infrastructure like bridges and stairs and park benches. And all the while, he's telling you're the "resident representative"; you get to call the shots! That the reward is the community's progress. That what you're doing is in everyone's best interest (but most importantly, his).

Since NH's release, people have done a lot of legwork to say that Tom Nook isn't a capitalist while the game shows him at his very worst. He owns the only general store in town. You're forced to use a phone that he modified and branded as his own. Buy Nook-branded furniture and merchandise at the self-serve kiosk in the town hall, a governmental building! There's no conflict of interest here!

But hey, if you're tired of being the landlord/business mogul's goon, you can also find work as a deluxe resort home designer for a company that also pays you in their special company currency that can only be used to buy their products instead of a real salary! Because that's what the Animal Crossing franchise needs! More vacation homes!!!

Tips for Moving a Desk

Moving a desk can be a daunting task, but with the right preparation, it can be done safely and efficiently. Here are some tips to help you move your desk:

Empty drawers and remove items from the desktop.

Disassemble the desk if possible to make it easier to move.

Protect the desk by wrapping it in blankets or bubble wrap.

Use a dolly or hand truck to move the desk if it is too heavy to lift.

Take care when navigating corners and stairs to avoid damaging the desk or injuring yourself.

Make sure the desk is securely fastened in the moving truck or vehicle to prevent it from moving during transport.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your desk is safely and successfully moved to its new location. Click here to learn more.

"servants weren't REALLY gifted nice things; they just stole them! stick it to the man!"

I just bought a Victorian desk that was gifted to a maid in the 1920s or early 30s

so unless she somehow snuck an entire piece of carved mahogany furniture out of the house under cover of night...I think sometimes the gifting was legit, guys

okay hear me out

aether has one of those desks that you can move up and down so he can work while he's standing/sitting. It's better for his back. however, that means that every time dewdrop, or any ghoul for that matter, comes into his office for a quick sex break with their favourite big boy there's a high chance that aether can't bend them over the desk right away and instead they just have to stand awkwardly in front of the desk while it slowly (with a funny mechanical whirring sound) descends down to a good 'over the desk bending' level

We do not have dedicated desks at work because we are not a full week work office, so is supposed to be whoever comes first sits wherever but this is the second time someone has come and asked me to move because I am on “their” desk, I am absolutely annoyed, take your fucking desk dude, no no take it, fuck off you wanted it so now take it, and I am buying a fucking sticker with my name and slapping it in whatever desk I find next and that will be mine, fuck you

I have this small, deeply personal headcanon that after his grandmother's passing, Alhaitham's home was so unbearably quiet that he started--just barely, just one or two words--to speak out loud to her as if she was still there.

"I've been accepted to the Akademiya, Grandmother."

"I passed my promotion exams."

"I debated with Haravatat's sage."

Just that, and quiet again.

But one day, it's: "I met someone strange."

"He keeps showing up when I'm trying to study."

"We don't agree on anything. Still..."

"I made a friend."

"Today, Kaveh and I were researching--"

"It's already dark. I didn't realize we spent so long in Razan Garden. Kaveh wanted to hear about my article--"

"He's going to be furious when I tell him the whole point for his portion of the lecture is based on a false predicate--"

The house where his grandmother used to be gets a little louder again; the noise lasts a little longer.

Until one day, when there's no words at all.

One day, when there's just the sound of a single sob, and then a long, long silence.
