returning to new horizons: day 1

april 26, 2025.

outfit of the day! i had this green dress, so i tried to pick things that went with it. (looking back at it now, it seems like the shoes might not go as well as i thought they did.)

i found a lost item and returned it to sally. it looks like this is the second day in a row sally had lost something. this girl needs to take better care of her stuff.

bringing ken some medicine got me this lounge tee, which i could definitely see myself wearing with the bottom that goes with it. also, mitzi visited the camp site. since someone moved out recently, i wouldn't mind them moving in.

then, after getting stung by some bees, i headed over to the museum to get some coffee. after using some medicine on the bee stings, i also thought i'd take a boat ride over to a new island, where i ended up finding a gyroid fragment. i buried it alongside the other two gyroid fragments i had with me.

they're called gyroids! you can find them by digging in the little spots on the ground you'd find fossils in. when you find them you...

I think water them? I don't actually remember it's been so long since I played 😭

So I’ve heard! Bury gyroids fragment in the ground and water them, with lil steam coming up from the ground

Animal crossing new horizons headcanons for the nerd bunch

Steph

- normcore I think that's what people call it but it's basically just like. a normal town with no specific style. but her house is decorated to her liking and she has her villager's home in a forest she planted herself. she also has mods and she has just a part near the top of her island where there's just a shit ton of bells just dropped on the floor.

-steph definitely gives me black tulip door wreath vibes.

-steph's favorite villager is cherry and she changed cherry's catchphrase to 'bitch' so now she says stuff like "Yeah, go for it, bitch. This oughta be good…’

-steph has a room in her house purely for 'summonings' after she found out if you combine a specific wall and flooring you can create a summoning circle.

-steph refuses to pay tom nook, so her house isn't upgraded that much.

-steph set up a small space in her island for the nerds to fool around in whenever they visited. that space now mostly consists of pit falls and stumps. someone also left a switch there and steph didn't even try to figure out who put it there and just kept it as decor for her house. also Steph has green mums outside her house which she says is supposed to be a weed farm.

Grace

-grace definitely has meticulously designed her island and it's fairycore. rip star fragment trees grace would have loved those. her island has a shit ton of pink tulips everywhere too. grace has a part of her island which is just a forest with a lot of flowers. she also has those like custom design paintings in said forest that read 'god is good' or some shit and she thinks every island should have a god forest.

-grace has the pink wedding event door thingy.

-grace has two tricycles she put outside of nook's cranny that she pretends belong to timmy and tommy

-favorite villager is ruby sorry

-grace loves the wedding event items and her island and house are full of them

Ruth

-her island is a mess to me lmao. her island tune is the iconic part in careless whisper and tiffany is her favorite villager. none of her island is actually decorated btw. and she constantly wears one of those custom design dresses that make it look like the villager has a bikini. ruth collects gyroids after she was taught how to get them by Richie. she just collects the little guys and has them outside her airport as a welcome thingy. ruth uses the effects feature a lot, mainly putting hearts on stuff. only decorating Ruth really did on her island is make a rainbow flower field which she and the rest of the nerds call the gay flower trail. ruth seems to be eternally broke. Richie offers her money and she accepts and ten minutes later she somehow managed to waste it all on the most useless decor

Richie

-his island is littered with references to animes. he has two godzilla statues outside his house. has definitely gotten much more advancements than the others. wishes he could have started out on a modded island but it's too late. his house is made to be his dream home and his room has custom designs of anime posters on the walls. he completed his museum and probably has most furniture items in his catalog. he also completed happy home designer and has a lot of amiibos. richie redecorated all of his villager's homes, both interior and exterior. richie made a crab rave on his beach. richie also collects gyroids and uses them to decorate. he also likes setting up little songs with them for specific rooms in his house.

richie's island flag is this.

Pete

-somehow the one with the best looking island. it's five stars somehow and each villager gets custom personalized yards. pete is really into flower breeding. he's also trying to complete the museum but keeps forgetting to catch some seasonal creatures and fish. pete NEVER skips blather's fun facts. in fact he writes all of them down and annoys Ruth and Richie with them. he's even memorized some for the more common fish and bugs that especially pissed Richie off when he was collecting everything (like sea basses)

petes house has the highest happy home academy rating

Yesterday, I unlocked Kapp’n’s boat tours and thus gyroids, and last night I had a dream that today I dug up the two gyroid fragments I’d gotten, and one had properly turned into a gyroid, but the other had turned into a white pansy (an individual flower, like one you’d pluck from a plant)

My love letter to Animal Crossing and the humble Gyroid.

AC's been a big part of my life since I was just a kid, and it's a series that's especially important to my mom, so this was also a gift to her. <3

The way the Gyroid system functions in New Horizons is something I find very charming and Ghibli-esque, so I wanted to explore that.

If you take the time to read this little piece that made me so happy to write, I sincerely thank you. ^^

I always go all the way to the northeastern part of my beach just in case I find a message in a bottle or a gyroid fragment, but I'm still absolutely shocked when I find one there. It's a small part of the beach, so the odds are pretty low! You know, as low as the odds of there being something on ANY given small part of the beach.

The recipe inside, for an ironwood chair, was one I already had, so I'm afraid that Lionel's reread diary entry wasn't as helpful for me as he might have hoped. Turns out that it's a reread for me, too!

[kaypendragon]

The "stuffed" bear is just a really dedicated furry. (Similarly the pool toy. Good costumes are hard to find.)

All the large gyroids in NH seem to be sentient. (The small ones grow from fragments, so it's unclear if they're fully grown when you dig them up. Maybe they're still babies?) Obviously we've passed the singularly and robotic lifeforms are a valid evolution.

I can't help you with the orange though. Maybe it's also a furry? Or an artist?

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?
