I’m so sorry for this. Al. Maybe it’s not his fault — he’s a gorilla, and they’re all terrifying (except maybe Hans, who is just sort of hilarious looking). His catchphrase in City Folk was “hoo hoo ha” but I guess they thought that was as creepy as I do, because they changed it to “ayyeeee” in New […]

I’m gonna blame this dude for me being away for so long. I just couldn’t bring myself to draw Aisle. Yeah. That’s what it is. To be fair, he is really creepy looking. I was gonna blame it on him being a cub, which means he has a really big head and a teeny body and […]

January 12, 2018: silver-tongued \ SIL-ver-TUHNGD \ adjective; 1. Persuasive; eloquent. When she won the oration exhibition, she had been proud. More than proud. It was proof, they told her, that she was silver-tongued. Which, of course, was a great honour. When they had guided her off the stage amidst the still thundering applause, […]
As promised, the queen of the side-eye, Agnes. She is one of the “uchi” visitors which is apparently like a big sister type that combines snooty and peppy and “normal” types. I would have gone with snootpep myself, because it sounds way cuter. Agnes’s catchphrase is “snuffle” which mostly makes me worry that she has seasonal […]

And then I got the flu, so Agent S had to wait… but here she is! (I don’t think I knew she was a girl, despite having met her in game before, and now I like her even more, because she’s this peppy little hero squirrel girl. Her catchphrase is even “sidekick,” which is like the first […]

Today’s villager is Admiral, who, I am ashamed to say, is not a duck. He is, infact, a bird, the Animal Crossing wiki tells me. As, I think, all the “birds” characters are — nondescript avian creatures of some sort. I was right about the grumpy part though. Admiral’s catchphrase is “aye, aye” which is a […]
