A short defense of Tom Nook - not everything I have to say, but I still want to say it nonetheless. I commented it on a YouTube video if you recognise it from anywhere.

In the old games, Tom Nook was freshly hurt from his time in the city - Redd had just scammed him of everything he owned! He had moved to the city to try to accomplish his dreams but he was too pure and kind hearted to thrive in a place like that. Sable will tell you all about it in Wild World, and sometimes you can even get Tom talking about it himself.

“Sweet, young Tom Nook...

His call to arms, his ethos, was

"Dreams before money!"

He was so pure that people wondered if he'd survive this crazy old world. I did too. Every night before falling asleep, I would wish him...

“Please keep Tom Nook's pure spirit protected,"

I'd whisper in the darkness.

"Keep him safe from the apathy that breeds in the alleys of the big city...”

I don't know why I've told you so much about Tom Nook and I...

All those memories of our shared youth must bore you.

Please forgive me."

- Sable

He returned to his hometown with “my tail between my legs” to start all over again. So he didn’t have a house! No money, barely any possessions. In Animal Crossing e+, a version of the game that only released in Japan with some bonus features, you can bang on his door three times with a shovel or axe and force him to let you in. He’ll be in a little nightgown and cap and carry his pillow around, walk super slowly, buy things for less and sell things for more.

This is probably why he seemed more ‘mean’ in those older games. He’s trying to protect you from getting hurt like he did! He’ll even directly say he thinks his real job is to teach young people to not make the same mistakes he did.

“...Young [name]... I bet you think...

...that all I think about is money and how to make more of it, hm? Don't you?

[select Well, yeah.]

Well, perhaps you're right...

But I'm absolutely, 100% OK with that, hm? Indeed!

I like to think that it's my job to show you young people how hard life is!

As an adult, it's my responsibility. It's my TRUE job, if you will, hm?"

- Tom Nook

He donates 90% of his profits to an orphanage 3 towns over from his hometown, and I believe he has a hospital wing named after him - though don’t quote me on that.

And, just to add, while Timmy and Tommy aren’t his biological sons, he did find them and raise them himself!

That man is a SAINT. And I’m not even mentioning the fact that his loans are interest free, but YOU can earn interest on bells you keep in the ATM, and the fact that his loans aren’t even very expensive at all.

Bells are equivalent to Japanese yen (confirmed by the Switch items in New Horizons - the number of bells they cost is the same amount of yen they sold for when first released). Your house in New Horizons comes to around 5.6 million bells (or yen) in the end, which is equivalent to around £29,000 or about $37,000. That is an INSANELY low price for a beachfront house on a nice island like that! He’s mental to sell a house that cheap! He’s an angel.

Hmm yes, Tom Nook in his nightgown

Hihihi this is my first post :3 And yes that's a Redd pillow, and yes I gave him tatas

Animal Crossing Characters Headcanons #1

Heeey, I just got into the Animal Crossing's fandom a month ago and I wanted to do this soooo bad. I feel like there's not enough hdcns of Animal Crossing's characters on tumblr, so here u go !

We'll start with my tanuki bois: Tom, Timmy and Tommy Nook, enjoy :)

💰☕🍃 Tom Nook 🍃☕💰

Our favorite Tanuki Landlord is 42 years-old. He left his natal town for the city at the young age of 20 and came back when he was around 30.

My boi is a bisexual king, periodt.

According to Sable, when he was a kid, he was a idealist with a heart of gold, very ambitious, yet always kind. He hated injustice and was actually very sensitive. I like to think young Tom Nook was a bit like Ash from Pokemon~~

He adopted Timmy and Tommy when they were basically babies (like 2 or 3 years-old or something). He considers them as his pupils and sometimes call them affectively his nephews. That's because he's got too much pride to call them his sons.

The fact that he found two children who looks exactly like him even though Tanukis are a very rare species is a pure coincidence, but Tom secretly like to think it was fate.

He's slowly recovering from depression. When he found Timmy and Tommy in his late twenties, he was at his lowest point, alone and broke, and even considered the s word. Adopting them was like starting a new life and he decided to come back at his little town to raise them and start over.

He's very good friend with Isabelle, Blathers and Sable, and get along with almost everybody, even if they all confirms that Tom is an introvert, just with good social skills.

He had a hard time reconnecting with Sable when he came back, because he developped trust issues. He either rejected her or didn't have enough time to spend with her. But now they are close again, even if they don't have the same complicty they had when they were children. Because of how he treated Sable back then, Mable doesn't trust him and thinks her sister deserves better (she's still polite with him though)

Coffee drinker, and during his breaks he sometimes smoke while Isabelle allows herself to drink a little glass of whiskey. They both do that when Timmy, Tommy and the Resident Representative (or kids in general) aren't there so they don't give a bad example.

He used to have a VeRy AmbIGuOus~~ relationship with Redd at their time in the city. They were buisness partners and lived together but that's all Tom would spoke about him. This is probably thanks to Redd that he discovered that he can be into men (and let's be honest anyone would be gay for Redd <3 even if he's a bastard).

He hates Redd with a passion not only because he betrayed him but also because he brings out the worst in him: from his desire of adventure he became drawn to danger and even illegal things, his dream of glory and ambitions turned into greed, and basically every of his morals and principles were dead during his time with him. He isn't proud of it at all.

Has many talents and interests: good crafter, very great singer (loves to do karaoke with Isabelle), has an eye for fashion (like to speak clothes and do shopping with Sable), chess player, pianist and violonist (he once did a cover of KK Lament).

He won't admit it, but now that he's a bellionaire and have a stable life, he slowly start to think about more "conventional life" things, like marriage~~. He still hasn't found the one yet. This idiot is so oblivious to love anyway... (Poor Sable)

He gives the best hugs <3

He can be harsh with people (especially the Resident Representative) because he doesn't want others to end up like him. He has a sort of affection toward the Resident Representative like for Timmy and Tommy and he's very protective of them. Tom is the kind of guy that would beat the shit out of himself to create a better system and future for the people he cares about, even if he has to act like the villain.

Basically act tuff but he's such a dad and a big softie I luv him so much <3

☺👋🍃 Timmy & Tommy 🍃👋☺

Despite their height, Timmy and Tommy aren't young children, they're both 15, with Timmy being a few minutes older than Tommy.

No one knows who are their actual parents, and they don't remember them neither, and both don't care. They are happy with their mentor Tom Nook and no one can replace him.

They both work because they want to. Tom Nook never forced them. At first he was just teaching them and let them observe him. Then, when his shop grew bigger and bigger (when he was more stable financially), he asked them if they wanted to work with him to put in practice what they learned. Timmy and Tommy were more than happy to, and actually were always harrassing Tom to let them work with him (they both truly admire him). When Tom Nook thought that they were ready (in New Horizons), he lend them the key of Nook's Cranny. The fact that they work alone in Nook's Cranny are way more a proof that Tom Nook trust them than any kind of exploitation.

Because they were raised by Tom Nook, they're both very mature for their age, more practical, independent and autonomous. So they don't really get along well with others children/teens and are more at ease with adults (Celeste and the Resident Representative are exceptions).

They are both smart as hell (young buisness prodigies), in a different way. Timmy is a quick thinker and learner, very adaptable, more social and persuasive, while Tommy is best at long-term planning, organization, logistics and managment. Tom Nook taught them everything he knows to not let them make the same mistakes he did.

Both probably have a high IQ and are good mathematicians and excellent chess players (Tommy beat Tom Nook once).

Since they are basically adults in teen's body, Tom Nook let them do wathever the fuck they want. They drink coffee, sometimes alcohol and Timmy even smoke once because he saw Tom Nook do it, but he hated that and never did again. Tom Nook knows they are responsible enough to handle themselves, but he's still here to protect or help them if they need him.

Tommy is a very good listener while Timmy gives great advices.

When they aren't working, they like to prank Tom Nook just to mess with him or test him. They like to switch clothes or things like that for example. Yet Tom is always one step ahead and always knows what they're up to. Little mischievous boys <3

They sometimes hang up with Celeste after closing the store since Blathers and Tom are friends. They get along well with her because of how calm and wise she is. They also like the Resident Representative more than just a client, because they're also more responsible than most people of their age (due to being in debt for Tom Nook), and Tommy has a little crush on them <3 (while Timmy is always like "Love sucks !")

They both accidentally called Tom Nook "dad" at different moment. Timmy did when Tom complimented him on his work (Literally the: "Nice work !", "Cool ! Thanks dad."). Tommy did when he was asking a innocent question like "Hey dad, why do you always look so sad ?". Tom Nook act like he didn't heard that but he was screaming internally.

They both live in Nook's Cranny. Upstairs, there's a studio for them to live (beds, kitchen, bathroom, etc.). Tom Nook comes to join them after they close to spend time with them and eventually stays there to sleep (when he's not overworked).

Timmy and Tommy are the only one who ever saw Tom cry.

They give Cuphead (Timmy) and Mugman (Tommy) from Casinoandcups vibe~~.

Aaaand that's all I have for now. Tell me if you want more <3

my #10 Track of the Year for 2023 is...

"Higher" by Mandidextrous & Tanukichi!

oh hey, what do you know. there it is again.

mandidextrous is a party vet as it turns out. she was a major force in the speedbass scene in the 2000s, she was into freetekno at the turn of the millenium, and now she's one of the artists innovating and driving this new 4x4 sound. (oh, and she's trans too!) getting her on this list knowing all this is a no-brainer -- but i didn't know any of this until i heard "Higher". a collab with tanukichi, it's more psy-driven than other 4x4 tracks we've heard in this blog. think of this one as more of a hybrid of hi-tech and DnB rather than dropcore. that gives it a HUGE bassy drive, which you absolutely hear more in the DnB sections as the bassline moves in waves right to the last notes.

The Top 5 Ecchi Anime You Need to Watch in 2024

Ecchi anime has a special place in the hearts of many fans, offering a mix of humor, romance, and suggestive themes that keep viewers entertained. As we step into 2024, let's take a look at five ecchi anime series that have earned acclaim and are definitely worth checking out.

"High School DxD": "High School DxD" has been a hit for a while now, and it's easy to see why. The story follows Issei Hyoudou, a high school student who gets caught up in a world of demons and angels after a fateful encounter. What sets this series apart is its blend of supernatural battles and steamy moments. It's not just about the fan service; there's an engaging story and characters that keep you hooked.

"To Love-Ru": If you're looking for a classic ecchi rom-com, "To Love-Ru" is the way to go. The protagonist, Rito Yuuki, finds himself in all sorts of hilarious situations when he's suddenly surrounded by alien girls who have a thing for him. The misunderstandings and awkward moments make for plenty of laughs, and there's a sweet romance brewing amidst all the chaos.

"Prison School": "Prison School" takes a more mature approach to ecchi, with its setting in an all-girls school where five boys find themselves in a heap of trouble. It's not your typical high school comedy; it's edgy, over-the-top, and sometimes downright outrageous. But that's what makes it so entertaining. It's a wild ride from start to finish.

"Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist": This one's a bit different. "Shimoneta" explores a world where anything even remotely lewd is strictly prohibited. It's a society where censorship has gone to the extreme, and our protagonist, Tanukichi Okuma, finds himself caught up in a rebellion against the system. It's funny, it's thought-provoking, and it's definitely not afraid to push the boundaries.

"Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls": "Monster Musume" takes ecchi to a whole new level by introducing us to a world where mythical creatures coexist with humans. The main character, Kimihito Kurusu, becomes a host to several monster girls, each with her own quirks and charms. It's a hilarious and heartwarming series that's sure to leave you with a smile on your face.

In conclusion, ecchi anime continues to be a popular genre for good reason. These five series offer a little something for everyone, whether you're in the mood for action, comedy, or romance. So why not give them a try? Who knows, you might just find your new favorite show.
