Bluebear is Green?

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, and I received valentine letters in the mail from all of my islanders (and one from Isabelle, too).

Breaking news, boss! Did you know feeling can actually make chocolate taste better? It's science. Chocolaty science. Which is the best kind of science! That's why I packed these chocolates all fulla my happiness. 'Cause flavor! I wore a lab coat! -Bob

After reading them all, I found a bunch of chocolate hearts and heart-shaped bouquets in my pockets.

I also went to the Roost for the other sweet Valentine’s Day treat: Hot chocolate! Brewster has served cocoa instead of coffee for this occasion, starting with City Folk. Mmm!

Me, after drinking some hot chocolate at the Roost: Aww...it's so sweet.

Bluebear was camping at the campsite, and she’s cute. I did not ask her to move in, though.

Bluebear: Hey! It's nice to meet you! I'm Bluebear! You live on this island, right?

But something struck me seeing her in New Horizons. I know I’m colorblind, but despite her name, she looks green to me! It looks like her fur is sea green, or a similar shade. I didn’t think she looked this green in the older games, but in ACNH, that absolutely looks like a shade of green to my eyes. 👀

So I opened that screenshot in an image-editing program and got out the eyedropper tool. You know how it’ll show how much red, green, and blue are in a particular pixel? Of course the numbers vary depending on which spot you choose, but I noticed something consistent. No matter where I put the cursor on her fur, it’s showing more green than blue!

It’s not just my colorblindness! Bluebear is green! Yes, it’s technically a shade in between blue and green, but it’s closer to green! Check your favorite image editing program for yourself if you don’t believe me. 😛

Tonight, I had a chat with Ankha in the plaza. She told me some things about her tomb that seem hard to believe… 😛

Ankha: You know, in my tomb, everyone is always accessorizing with umbrellas when it rains...

While I was at the plaza, I asked K.K. Slider to play a random song. He performed Surfin’ K.K. for me, Ankha, and Louie. It doesn’t exactly feel like surfing weather right now, but I guess we can imagine that it’s summer. 😛

After the concert ended, I went out to Harv’s island. I asked Katrina to tell my fortune, and she saw an island where residents prefer to live in tents instead of houses!

Katrina: I see an island...whose residents prefer living in tents to owning their own homes...

According to her, this meant that I was going to have bad luck with money. But of course, she had a remedy for me. I just needed to pay 10,000 bells for it…and I did. She will send me my lucky charm in the mail next time.

I also had a chat with Leif, as I was curious about his weeding service. I didn’t have enough weeds on my island to purchase his services, but he did tell me what his fee is: A whopping 100,000 bells! Yikes!

Leif: But if they get out of control, I'll pull them up for 100,000 bells for one time. So pay me a visit then!
Well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

Have any of you ever used this service? Do you think it was worth the money? Let me know in the comments!

Here a few other quick notes about this week:

  • Agent S was sick on Monday, so I gave her some medicine. In return she gave me an apron.
  • I helped out Gullivarrr on Wednesday, and he sent me a pirate-treasure robe.
  • Today, I returned a lost item to Bones. He rewarded me with a pacifier! Is he calling me a baby?

Just a heads-up that I finally posted my New Horizons Art Guide. I know it’s long overdue, but it’s here now…complete with a pun about every work of art. I hope you’ll check it out! Here’s a sample:

Academic painting: Real or fake, with a pun.

See you next time! Never Stop Crossing!
