Your favourite AC related memory: are a few memories okay? If not the first one is probably my favorite (and the tangy one my second favorite).

When I was little and playing Animal Crossing for Gamecube, I decided to write each villager a letter saying, "Merry Christmas!"
Each one replied, which I will paraphrase lol, saying something that basically meant "wtf are you talking about weirdo."
So don't do that lmao.

Later on, I got Wild World and Goldie (my favorite villager) moved in! She might have always lived in my town but I don't remember, as she became my favorite because of this game.
Anyway again, I really liked Goldie and made sure to talk to her more than the other villagers. My friend (who I'll call K) and I played AC together a lot and she visits my town and meets Goldie who then sends her a letter with a freakin' bathtub!! Where's my bathtub??!
My friend also had Rod the mouse in her (wii or ds) town and she joked rod had a crush on her (I had him in my 3ds town and he kinda comes across like that lmao, jocks seem a little flirty idk). He sent her a urinal xD

And finally, I think I only had one cat in my town ever and that was Tangy in the wii version (I also had the horses elmer and roscoe who were complete opposites lol).  Tangy was also always getting sick, I spent so much on medicine for her.
Anyway, I think (if I remember correctly) my friend had a pig in her town whose name I can't remember (or maybe I had the pig too and she had someone else).
Anyway, Tangy met K and I met the pig and it was funny because when K left Tangy brought her up a lot and the pig brought me up a lot (they talked about how great we were lol). So we joked the animals had crushes lmao.

Also on flea market days I like to buy literally everything in the animals houses so they look like they have no belongings. And my friend was once moving furniture on flea market day, the couch was in the way of the door, and some villager walked in and she got trapped lmao.

Anddd finally, a word of advice for people. In City Folk it was halloween and I had on my favorite accessories and hat and my inventory was full. If you don't give the villagers candy or something they get mad and turn your head into a pumpkin (it's just a hat). Anyway, your accessories should go into you inventory but mine was full so idk what happened to them ):
F u elmer.

Anyway sorry for the long post! And thanks for considering me!!

Oh wow I just saw these! They're SO precious, I never would've thought of using a texture that way!

Your favourite AC related memory:

Ok, I knew immediately which memories I wanted to share. Please forgive me, I can be a little wordy...

My first encounter with AC was at my best friend's house, when I was 7. At this time, my mother was taking extra work, and could never pick me up from school. I'd walk with my friend from school to her place and stay there until evening, when my mom could come get me. Usually this friend and I would play video games, go outside, or do homework together. One very snowy day this friend showed me AC, and let me make a villager in her town.
I was immediately hooked. At the time, I would always finish my homework much faster than her (by a couple of hours), so I'd spend that time playing AC, just utterly in love with the game. I remember snow falling outside, having stuffed animals sitting in my lap, her mother cooking something delicious in the kitchen nearby, and me sitting on the carpeted floor staring up at their huge TV screen... I never had anything like that at home. (I had mostly books, which I loved, but never any video games or big TVs, so playing at her house was a huge treat.) It is honestly one of my favourite memories.

For the second memory:
I got a copy of the game (along with a gamecube!) from this same friend when I was about 10 years old, and it was a used copy she'd bought me, with a town already on it named Laville. Well, Laville wasn't very properly taken care of, so I spent a very long time (a couple years) making it beautiful, filling out the museum, etc. Then I eventually fell out of touch with the game, but I'd still pull it out any time I felt sad or scared or stressed - all my favourite villagers would be happy to see me again and I'd feel better.
Well, one such day I turned on the game in tears... I can't remember what had upset me. But somehow I had chosen the night of the (in-game) meteor shower, near the lake. I didn't realize until I had reached the lake and the music begun to change, to something soft and twinkly and beautiful. I spent the rest of the evening mesmerized by that music and the softly passing shooting stars, and I think I fell asleep watching it. In the morning, it had been turned off by one of my parents, and the whole thing felt like a hazy dream.
A couple of months later, I suddenly remembered this meteor shower event, and I knew I had to see it again. But I could no longer remember the date, and a coupe of random guesses didn't get me anywhere. Eventually I grabbed some paper, wrote out every day of the month (I knew it was in August), and I sat there continuously restarting the game, changing the date and time, and checking to see if I had gotten it right. I think it took me a whole afternoon to find it again, and when I did, it felt like stumbling across a fairy ring in a forest. I sat there listening to it, this time armed with a good book to pass the hours, with that warm feeling of witnessing something magical meant just for you.
Actually, I've yet again forgotten the date...

Hah, sorry for the cheesy stories, but I'm sentimental like that. Animal Crossing really sparked my rather sensitive imagination, and I loved thinking that it was my own little fantasy world. Nowadays I mostly play New Leaf, and a lot of the quirks I loved about the Gamecube version are gone (NL characters are never as mean as they used to be, the GC villagers would be so rude)! But the same warm feelings haven't left.

Thanks for giving me a chance to relive these memories!! :)

G U Y S your applications are all so precious!! Thank you all for applying! I'm glad there's exactly three apps so I didn't have to turn anyone down completely, omg.

RebeccaMonkey - I loved the part about Tangy and the pig haha. You win Also Blanca!

Kehaar - That kinda cheesy warm fantasy world of your own stuff is THE BEST and your story is so sweet. You get Custom Blanca! Let me know what you'd like for her face - if you have a picture or screenshot you'd like it based off that's great, but just a description works too.

Jess ♫ - Thought you said grad school and got a bit confused further along your story hahah. I love that you played the game with your brother and even got your mom into it too, that's so cute. You get the premade Blanca.

Will send out the premades asap!

Thanks so much! Looking forward to seeing what she looks like in the game!
