The Curse?

When I played on Wednesday, I got some bad news in the mail. Bones has moved out of town, without warning!

Bones was my favorite villager in town, and he has lived here for nearly three years. It’s very disappointing to lose him. The only bright side is that I still have him in New Horizons.

But something else came to mind. Last week, I posted a video ranking my favorite villagers in all of my Animal Crossing towns. I had previously posted three such videos before, in 2019, 2021, and 2023. After two of those videos (2019 and 2021), my favorite Wild World villager moved out just days afterwards. So I thought it was weird that it happened again.

Are these videos a curse to my Wild World towns somehow? Nah, I know it’s just a coincidence (or a series of coincidences), but it’s still unfortunate. And to be fair, nothing of the sort happened after my 2023 video.

Anyway, I also had a letter with my latest HRA score in the mail. The addition of Drift’s pic boosted my house score up to 293,700 points.

Filbert told me he was looking for fossils, but not for the money. He said he was doing it so that Blathers would like him more!

Yesterday, Curt was telling me about the fishing tournament that’s coming up on Sunday. He said I always seem to win competitions, and he accused me of cheating! Wow. Never mind the fact that I haven’t even won a tournament since 2021!

I was too lazy to go looking for a pitfall, but I did the next best thing: I hit him a few times with my net.

I can’t believe I didn’t rank Curt dead last in my town. If I were to re-rank them right now, Curt would be on the bottom, not Truffles. And Whitney would be my new #1, now that Bones is gone.

I played again tonight, and not much was going on in town. So I gathered up a few loads of fruit and sold it at Nookington’s. I was able to boost my savings balance up to a nice, round, satisfying total of exactly 15 million bells.

I’ll be back again next week to see who replaces Bones. Have a great weekend!
