I thought I'd look at where Flock cameras were and who they were targeting. I think this might be both obvious and excessive.

I've got Fang. December 18th, Sagittarius. I've had him a couple of times in different games but don't have his photo.

They're pretty as adults, until you squish them. You can use my photo if you want to put a macro on it.

Same! I love how old calculators just keep working for decades.

If you see this, post your favorite Animal Crossing villager

Ellie has been queen of my island almost since I began playing ACNH in March 2020. I had different favorites in earlier games, Dora in the original, Rosie in New Leaf, and now Ellie in New Horizons. I don't remember about Wild World.

Ellie, an elephhant villager, in her house (which I redecorated in classic style) wearing a blue lace-up dress and pink heart shades checking her phone, which is in a pink case.

Ellie, an elephant villager, in my house in a room that's decorated in imperial style, wearing a gray (plover dress?) and pink giant bow. A photo of her is visible in the background behind a plant.

Ellie, an elephant villager, wearing a blue heart apron and blue ginat bow on the beach on my island with a lawn chair in the foreground and a shell arch, gazebo, and coconut trees in the background.

Ellie, an elephant villager, in her house wearing a ruby sari, red simple sunglasses, and a royal crown. A photo of her is visible in the background along with a large dresser and grandfather clock.

So I'm up wandering around my #ACNH #AnimalCrossing island in the middle of the night with Julia and Celeste and eating cheese and crackers from Aldi instead of horribly dry fig newtons.

I've become quite the night owl, my dear. My evening has just begun!"

Beautiful captures of a beautiful place.

Of course one of my favorite spots on the rail trail is the culvert where Reservoir Road passes over. I always make noise to hear the weird echoes even though the signs say not to. 😸

The Needoh looks neat. Are they super squishy and soft? I tend to use heavier squeeze toys like hand grippers and super stiff balls. Bead rollers are great but I tend to wreck them by being too rough. I haven't seen the spike rollers before, only smooth ones.

There's a Tonka toy truck tire (they sell them as dog toys), a heavy duty grip ring that also looks like a tire, a tiny tennis ball (also a dog toy), an 8bit do mini game controller with squishy silicone directional stick caps with pawpads, a hex wrench/socket wrench multitool, and two hilighters, one a liquid Sharpie, the other a Ticonderoga Emphasis with the printing worn off and the little thumb gizmo on the cap so you can open it with one hand.

Good morning everyone. Remember that possession of googly-eyed sturgeon is strictly prohibited. 🐟

Good morning!

I don't think I've had Goose in any game, except maybe Wild World. I usually don't care for jocks. But the Bold look is something I can get behind. Anabelle (the anteater, not the doll) just moved to my island with her Bold mumuu. The pattern looks better than the old tropical shirt.
