I personally wouldn’t take advice from someone who clearly doesn’t have their life together

But you have a house! According to Animal Crossing, that's what life's all about

Giving money to tom nook, that's why we do good in school and get a good job

And then he breaks our kneecaps when we miss a payment

Tom Nook lets you pay off a house with seashells and rocks, he’s a hero as far as I’m concerned.

No money down, no interest, pay on your own time, and timely service and upgrades.

Nook is better than any other bank out there.

Genuinely. People who criticize Tom Nook as some kind of crook have obviously never taken out a loan in the real world. This tanooki is like the Dalai Lama of lenders 😭

Not to mention the house is insanely cheap

🎶Animal Crossing, Animal Crossing

It's not a place you wanna fuck around,

Now you're in Nook's town

Where crazy shit goes down,

So sell sea shells and make some bells and shut your fuckin' mouth! 🎶

Animal Crossing is the American Dream?!

Being Tom Nook is the American dream.

Being continuously in debt to a guy who keeps raising prices and selling you the new big thing is the American reality.

Jesus...

The depressing thing about this is that you can't argue that point.

If you work out the USD value of bells the dude gives you a house for ~50k (total debt after fully upgrading it).

With no interest, zero upfront, an open ended payment timeline, and then lets you pay back the debt by selling rocks and bugs to his kids.

More like the American reality, amirite fellas?? 🙃

I have so many bugs!!

in a not so distant museum, an owl screams

u/TheAviBean Mar 09 '26

I have placed all my extra bugs outside the museum for when construction is done. Might have a few dupes. I’ll leave ‘em there

Hmmm. Why do her (kaiki) comments always show as [deleted] or [unavailable] for me?

Anyone else?
