A Frog for Vivian

I played on July 1st and saw this weather notice on the message board.

~ Weather Forecast ~ Looks like the rainy season is about to wrap up! Once it's over, the summer sky will open up and it'll get start getting hot, hot, HOT!

Notice anything wrong with that? It says “it’ll get start getting hot…” 😛 So I used that screenshot in a new video called Animal Crossing Typos & Mistakes #2. It’s not just about New Leaf, because it also has clips from other games (including several from New Horizons). Check it out!

Today, Vivian told me that she’s looking for a frog. Maybe she should check out my frog race in New Horizons. 😉

Vivian: I've been trying to get my hands on a frog, but I just can't catch one.

Lolly informed me that she was planning on moving out of town on July 18th. But obviously, she’s not allowed to leave. 😛 She did tell me about one of her favorite books, though: Making Gyroids Work for You.

Lolly: On a day like today, it's hard not to think of one of my favorite books: Making Gyroids Work for You.
Wait, is she advocating gyroid slavery??

With no special events coming up soon, Rolf plans to build his stamina for the next event…on Toy Day! 😛

Rolf: Aw well. Guess in the meantime I'll have a chance to build my stamina for the next event! On Toy Day!

But that may not mean what you think; “on Toy Day” is just his catchphrase, which I gave him last December. I wish he would change it already.

Gulliver was down on the beach, talking about visiting the Emerald Isle. That hint was pretty obvious, so I didn’t need to consult my Gulliver Guide. He’s headed to Ireland!

Gulliver: ...Ireland!

While I was on the beach, I caught two goliath beetles. Moments later, I also caught a scorpion…and then the frog I needed for Vivian.

The problem is that Hornsby and Vivian just had a fight, so they were both feeling down.

Hornsby: Don't come near me. My sadness is contagious...
That’s relatable, sadly.

I had to wait out their bad moods, and then I gave Vivian the frog. She thanked me for the “fish.”

Vivian: You brought me the fish I asked for, kiddo? That's so nice of you.
I’ve toad you before, frogs aren’t fish…

She rewarded me with a blue diamond shirt.

When I spoke to Lolly again, she informed me that I’m now considered a bell-pincher again. I guess I’ll need to waste some money on furniture I don’t need next time. 😛

Frog Wannabe

It was raining in Forest tonight, which isn’t surprising considering it’s the rainy season. But Claudia was so wet and uncomfortable that she wished she was a frog! Wouldn’t it just be easy enough to go indoors?

Claudia: I'm getting so soaked out here, if I died. Oh, what I wouldn't GIVE to be a frog sometimes.

She asked me to catch an insect for her, a butterfly to be specific.

Claudia: I've been in the mood for having a certain kind of insect in my house, Tiny J.
Is it because you’re a frog now?

I got an emperor butterfly for her out of my dock box, and she thanked me by giving me…a bathroom stall.

Claudia: It's a bathroom stall.

But as soon as I turned around, I spoke with Hornsby. And he already wanted that bathroom stall! Maybe he had to go really bad.

Hornsby: I've been kind of obsessed with getting a bathroom stall lately, J-bot.

He gave me exactly 500 bells for it.

Lolly asked me to find some new furniture for her, so I gave her some rice bales that I bought from Harvey. She thanked me, and gave me a sea bass in return. I was briefly filled with disappointment…but in true sea bass fashion, I had to let it go.

Lolly: Oh! In exchange, let me give you the sea bass I was using.

Aurora told me she was moving out soon, and looking forward to living in igloos!

Aurora: Even though I'll miss this town, I'm looking forward to living in a new place, in igloos!

Needless to say, I made her change her mind.

I have an announcement about this blog. I’m changing the frequency of posts from weekly, to twice a month. As you may know, New Horizons is currently the focus of my site (and my Youtube channel). Some weeks it’s hard to keep up with all the blog entries and videos I’m working on, so this will give me a little leeway for busier weeks.

I’m still going to try to play New Leaf weekly, to make sure none of my favorites move out without notice, but that’s not a guarantee. I will likely lose some of my favorites eventually, but that’s the risk I’m taking. The other blogs will remain unchanged for now.

According to Luna, my most recent dream visitor was Kitchie from Spot Vil. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Adorable Little Guy

Rolf and Vivian were having a conversation about photographs tonight. Vivian was saying that one bad photo can haunt a person for years…such as one where Vivian was photographed eating popcorn.

Vivian: There's one tragic photo of me eating popcorn that still gives me nightmares.

Rolf told her that she shouldn’t worry about little things like one bad photo. Vivian responded that a bad photo can happen to anyone, even “an adorable little guy” like Rolf.

Vivian: Even an adorable little guy like you can look goofy if a photographer catches you at the wrong moment.

However, Rolf was not happy about being called an adorable little guy. 😀

Rolf: ...Wait, adorable little guy? I ain't adorable, and I ain't little, sister! Watch it! On Toy Day!

Soon after that, Rolf informed me that Lolly was planning on moving away…as Lolly was standing right behind him. Why aren’t I hearing this from you, Lolly?

Rolf: I heard a rumor that Lolly is thinking about moving out of town. Do you know anything about that?

Of course, it wasn’t easy to get Lolly to mention it. But she eventually did, later on. She wanted to leave on June 28th, but I made her change her mind.

I found a lost item on the ground, and it turned out to be Boots’ goalie glove.

Boots: With this thing I'll be able to play keeper again! The guys will be glad!

He was happy to have it back, and he rewarded me with an apple. Yep, just a regular apple.
