Bright Nights 2025

As I started up the game tonight, I was greeted with a notice that said the Bright Nights are underway.

Hey, everybody! The Bright Nights are here!

A letter from the postal division at town hall arrived in the mail, informing me that I earned 72,300 bells in interest this month. Nice!

When I visited Curt, he told me he was over his cold and feeling better than ever. He thanked me for the medicine by giving me a classic table. I also noticed that he moved his furniture so that the left half of his house was completely empty.

So both he, and his house, are now all right.

Each villager’s house is decorated with festive lights for Bright Nights, as are many cedar trees around town. This is Filbert’s house.

And each villager (at least the ones that are outdoors) will boast about their lights, suggesting that their house is the best one in town.

Filbert: Huh huh huh! My house is all aglow, like a starry night sky! Isn't it pretty?

My buddy Bones wanted to hear how great his house looked, and he asked me to tell Tortimer about it.

Bones: Hey, champ! Doesn't my house look all sparkly?

So I went over to check out his house. Of course, all of the homes look pretty much the same. But for me, the differentiating factor is generally the number of lit-up trees near the house. Bones actually had three decorated trees near his house, although I could only fit two of them on-screen at a time.

And that’s about as good as it gets. So I went back to town hall and told Tortimer that Bones was my choice for the winner.

Tortimer: Hm, Dones you say? Well, I can see how you would pick that one.

After that, I had to go tell Bones the good news. He said that Tank sneered at his work and called him a hack, but Bones was very happy that I appreciated his decorations. Awww.

Bones: I'm glad YOU appreciate what I've done, for a bite!

I’d call this a successful Bright Nights festival! The event runs through Sunday, though, so you still have time if you haven’t played it yet!

I’ll see you next time. Never Stop Crossing!

Glute Displacer

The flea market is coming up soon, and Drift told me that he wants to buy some new dumbbells and a Glute Displacer.

Drift: I wanna buy new dumbbells and a Glute Displacer with the money I'll make!

So he said I better buy a lot from him, because Glute Displacers aren’t cheap! 😆

Drift: So you better buy lots! Glute Displacers ain't cheap, y'know, brah!
Especially if they have to be imported from Butt-swana.

Wendell was in town yesterday, but I actually didn’t speak with him this time. However, I liked how Booker mentioned his appearance…

Booker: I saw a very hungry-looking walrus come through here... At least, I think I did.

I love how he’s not entirely sure if that large walrus he saw was real or not. What exactly is going on in his head that is making him question it? Is he afraid to turn to Copper and say “Whoa, dude, did you just see a walrus with an easel and art supplies walk by just now?” 😆

Curt has still been sick this week, so I gave him some more medicine Wednesday, yesterday, and today. Get well, already! 😛

Outside of town hall tonight, Whitney told me that Bones picked up a harmonica.

Whitney: Guess what? Bones picked up a harmonica!

I didn’t know what she was talking about at first, but she said he found it in the recycling bin. Okay, well at least that makes sense…except for the fact that this game doesn’t have a harmonica. Oh well. 🤷

Tank asked me to make a delivery to Caroline, and the gift was a blue diamond top. She wasn’t exactly thrilled with it.

Caroline: It sure is different... But I guess it'll do in a pinch, on my Wii.

I returned to Tank and told him that Caroline just thought the gift was okay. He thought it was weird that she didn’t love it. But he still rewarded me with an illusion wall.

Tank: Not exactly a rave review... Weird, in 2025.

Drift told me that when times were tough, he would spend hours collecting shells and selling them to Tom Nook. But now, he’s wondering what Tom Nook does with all those shells…make swimming suits? 😆

Drift: So, you think he's making swimming suits with those shells?!

That made me think of Ariel’s seashell bikini in “The Little Mermaid.” But to my surprise, Drift said he wanted one for himself! 😆

Drift: Man, if so, sign me up 'cuz I want one! That is so dang HOT, brah!!!

On that odd note, I think that about wraps up my week in Animal Crossing: Wild World. But as a reminder, Bright Nights takes place next week! Don’t forget to check it out if you still play ACWW!

- Bright Nights Notice - Bright Nights will start next Monday! Who will win the treasured crown of best light decorator?

See you soon!

Married for Food?

On Wednesday, I shot down Gulliver’s UFO again. I searched for the five parts of his ship, and I returned them to him. In exchange, he gave me a Manekin Pis (the peeing statue). This was my 2nd one, and I put it in storage. Hopefully it won’t leak on my other stored items. 😛

Gulliver: To show my appreciation for all that you've done, I want you to have this.

Yesterday, I found Pascal down by the shore. He warned me not to go to the bottom of the sea if I crack under pressure.

Pascal: Oh, maaannn, if you crack under pressure, don't go to the bottom of the sea.

He also gave me a sea view (wallpaper) before jumping into the ocean. Sea ya!

Outside of the museum, Bones was talking about Blathers. He wondered if Blathers was young, because he went to college…

Bones: The fact that he graduated from college means he should still be young...

…or if he’s older, because he looks dignified and buttoned-up.

Bones: But he's so dignified and buttoned-up, it's really hard to say, for a bite!
I don’t know, but your guesses are owl over the place.

When I ran into Tank, he told me not to breathe near him! He was acting as if I had a cold, but I didn’t!

Tank: Don't you breathe near me! I don't want your cold, in 2025!

Today, someone did have a cold…but it still wasn’t me. It was Curt, and I was nice enough to give him some medicine.

Curt: Yeck... You pathetic cold! All you could do was make me wanna hurl?

Bones was talking about weddings; apparently he recently went to one.

Bones: Have you ever been to a wedding, champ? Well, lemme tell you, it's so fun!

But he was interested it mainly for the food. That doesn’t surprise me at all. 😆

Bones: It's not so much about the mushy stuff... It's more about the food!

He mentioned the peach flambé, milk tea, and chiffon cake. He even said he wanted to get married soon…for a bite! His catchphrase fit there perfectly. *chef’s kiss* 🧑‍🍳💋

Bones: Man, I want to get married soon, for a bite.
