throughaphaseTo severely understate it, 2020 isn't going so hot. And one of the only saving graces of this stupid trash fire of a year is Animal Crossing, which means I decided to go ahead and bring it to Fandom for a week like we all deserve… right after a laundry strike and truth day.
This is not a BDE. This is simply a week where your characters get to live in the world, and fish and shake trees and make cheerful animal friends.
So from the week of July 12-July 18, the island is going to go ahead and move temporarily to the Animal Crossingverse. You'll all wake up like normal on Sunday, but there will be some changes made to the island. This is just a basic rundown, I'll follow it up with more detail closer to it:
( changes to the island )
I'll go into more detail closer to the day, because I also wanted to offer this up for suggestions. I'm sure there's things I might not be thinking of, or maybe someone wants to bring in something from an older game, so if there's anything you would like to suggest should be incorporated, please let me know below and I'll include it in the next post!
Also, you can play villagers. These are the anthropomorphic animals who will wander around calling you nicknames and offering bells in exchange for gifts. They will be staying at campsites throughout the island and talking about moving here (they won't actually do it before they end of the week) and generally being friendly at you. You'll also find them camping at other islands you might visit. While Tom Nook, Blathers and Isabelle are covered, you can app any other villager that exists in the games and play them out of a shared NPC journal.
Finally, about the museum: It's run by an owl named Blathers who will happily take your donations! As in, if you have a bug, fish, sea creature or fossil, you can donate it to the museum, which will be part history museum/butterfly habitat/aquarium that will remain in town even after the event.
As for fossils, notable items from throughout Fandom's history will be buried around the island to be dug up. We're talking things like an Auditor cloak from The Nothing, a copy of Tiger!, a petrified shark from the sharkicane, dinosaur bones from that time dinosaurs attacked, etc. These will become exhibits in the history part of the museum.
And then you can either take your guests there at Parents Weekend and say "I TOLD YOU SO" or deny the very existence of it to keep them from going.
Now for the OCD.
