This is potentially silly but I find myself accepting Blathers’ request to tell me about different species and fossils mainly because I feel bad constantly having told him no in the past...oops!
I’m just wondering, how do you guys go about interacting with him?
Well, I don't think he's the best choice for unbiased info. Every now and again I'll listen to him because I am actually curious about a particular critter. Usually, the information is fluff, though, and I leave disappointed. Hah!
Honestly I skip probably 75% of the time, especially if I'm donating a lot of new items at once! I always try to listen to a few once and a while just so I don't make him feel bad, though!
I do want to know what he says about some stuff, so I'll donate things individually when I remember to. If I don't remember to, it's not a big deal, but for specific critters (e.g. piranha) I'll make a mental note to catch a second one to bring to him so I can hear him talk about it. (I love that feature.)
Fun fact, his blurbs about sea creatures are much longer than the ones about fish/bugs/fossils. He really goes on about them lol
If I'm not busy or in a rush, I actually listen to him most of the time because for some reason I like hearing him talk about the new bug/fish I caught... but I might stop ngl. The facts he tells in this game aren't really that good and some are pretty obvious. Like it's just kid facts and sometimes I don't even learn anything new. Shame really.
I always listen to his facts when I donate stuff. I love science and I love listening to what he has to say about fish or bugs, even if they are "little kid facts."
The only time I have ever skipped is if it was a repeat fossil. Everything else I'd read because I'm always curious about what he says about stuff you bring him.
I always listen to what he has to say, even for the bugs (I hate bugs - real and pixel). I listen to what he says about the bugs because I think his reaction is cute (even though I’m the same way).
As a history enthusiast and knowing how to feels to talk about history or like it while no one else around me likes it, I feel that even though he’s just a fictional character in a game, I should still give him respect and listen since it really does hurt when I try to share my knowledge with people and no one cares.
Even if i have a bunch of things to donate i go through each one by one and listen to Blathers' facts -- it's actually one of my favourite parts of the game! I think they nailed his dialogue in New Horizons.
I skip because the dialogue is too long, and because I normally prefer to skip dialogue in a lot of games.
If I want story, I'll pick up a book and read it. It's just a weird preference/habit of mine, haha.
I always listen to Blathers. Some of the Blathers dialogue can be pretty funny, especially when you donate bugs or bug-like creatures. Also, I am always interested in the little facts about each donation. I also like bringing fleas to Blathers from time to time. His hatred of bugs is at the comical level
I always listen if I have one item to donate (especially the bugs cuz I like making him uncomfortable LOL!), but I usually donate multiple items at once so he doesn't give me info haha.
