(typing all this has sucked all the life out my phone )

 

[SpaceTokki77]

I believe i’ve already posted here, but whatever.

I‘m Lavender, better known as BlushingTokki77, SpaceTokki77, and Toki.
I love acnh, art, and anime
And i’m really looking for a lump of coal and white rose collectible (help!)

 

[Violet Witch]

I'm Clare and I'm the grand old age of 33.

I haven't gamed since the days of The Sims and early Tomb Raider games so getting back into it years later with ANCH has been an eye opener along with buying Switch Lite, however so far I'm loving it.

When I'm not attempting to make my island look less like a barren wasteland I'm busy with my fashion blog Evermore Fashion on Tumblr which I've been running for the last few years. It's pretty popular and keeps me busy online but the pandemic has slowed that way down with runway shows not happening like they used to.

Music wise I'm mainly in to symphonic metal/rock with my favourite band being Within Temptation, I've seen them a few times live and was meant to see them again last year with Evanescence. However that's now been rescheduled to October 2021, but who knows if it will be moved again.

I'm also a big fan of supernatural/fantasy dramas and grew up on shows like Buffy, Angel and Charmed, although I can happily rewatch those shows compared to some of the crap TV and streaming services (minus Lucifer) put out today. Oh I'm also a fan of the MCU and currently loving it's latest edition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe WandaVision.

I think thats about it from me that I can think of for now...

 

[OtakuTrash]

I'm Madeline.

I'm 16, and an aspiring fame dev. I have ADHD, and it's a pain to deal with. Video games are the only things that keep me focused, and sane. Anime is pretty much my favorite type of show. It's very fun to stroll around the forums, and I somehow have the skill to type in all caps without being annoying!

 

[.: Meri :.]

Hi! I'm Merielle, but Meri is fine too! I'm 22, demisexual, nonbinary, and I have two cats.

I enjoy art and writing, and I'm currently in the early planning stages for a book I hope to publish someday. Eventually I might get RPG Maker and do a bit of game dev too (or maybe I'll do a visual novel, who knows), but we'll see how it goes! On the side I'm slowly trying to learn Japanese (so I won't have to rely on the media I want to read/play/listen to getting released in English) and German (I have some German heritage and I think the language sounds pretty~). I'd also like to get a baby/handheld harp in the future and learn to play it; I love how it sounds and right now I know very little about music, so it's an area I'd like to improve on.

My favorite genres of video game are RPGs, life sims, and otome/dating sims, but I'll play a little outside of those too on occasion. I also like to play Minecraft sometimes, and more recently I've started playing Fall Guys. I play Pokemon a little bit too, but I play the main series games very casually—I love the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series a ton though (minus Gates to Infinity). There's a lot of games I'm excited for, but right now I'm trying to catch up with my gaming backlog before I add too much to it.

Speaking of backlogs, I have a lot of series I'm reading but haven't finished that I've been trying to catch up on. Most of the manga I read are shonen series, but there's some shoujo series that I like as well. Outside of anime/manga, I like AtLA (though I still haven't gotten around to the last season of LoK), Steven Universe (not caught up with this one either, are you sensing a pattern here), and I've started rewatching the first few seasons of Winx Club too.

I collect a few things as well—mainly merch of my favorite characters, but also some plushes, especially Alpacasso, Pokemon, and Slime Rancher plush. In my spare time/in the background I also like to watch Youtube—my favorite Youtubers are Dollightful and dannydinosaur, but I also like to watch horror let's plays from Markiplier, 8-BitRyan, and DomPlays. I watch Hermitcraft and a little Yogscast with my parents too.

That about covers it, I think.

 

[ForeverALoan]

Heyy guys Im Dakota (better known as ForeverALoan)

Im a girl who is about 5'3, brunette with shoulder length hair, and blue eyes.

Im part hispanic, my grandpa is from Mexico but I havent had contact with him since I was 2, and so I havent been in touch with my roots much.

I like to talk a lot, Im a really social person. However, I do have really bad social anxiety at the same time...
Okay so I guess it makes more sense to say im very social with people im close with, haha.

Im also really friendly so if any of yall wanna be friends Id be down : )

My friends are the most important things in my life, as they have been there for me when my family most definitely hasnt and they have helped heal me from some of the damage inflicted by my difficult at-home life. my family is a really big ****ed up mess and I hate it but Ive ever only talked about that with one person on here. I don't like having too many friends though if they aren't close with me, because when you have too many friends Ive noticed they start to talk about you and one of the things I hate the most are fake people. I really only have a small group of veryy close friends

I spend a lot of my spare time looking at memes because they keep me distracted, or talking to my friends because theyre whats keeping me happy

I really enjoy writing, and its something that has always come naturally to me. When I was little I dreamt of being a writer, but that dream just seems to be becoming even more elusive as time goes by :/

Im a vegetarian and I really like animals. I have 4 dogs and 2 cats. I have also in the past owned hamsters, crawfish, lizards, and fish. I really want a pet pig rn and ive wanted one since I was really little.

Im a runner- I do track and cross country and Im actually decently fast. Im the fastest girl on the team, and I got 2nd place at districts for cross country and I was the top finisher on the team (basically means I did better in my division than anyone else did in theirs). In track Im the fastest long/mid-distance girl, but the coach is an ass and keeps kicking people off the team, so Im the last girl left on long distance who is eligible to travel to meets with the team. Hes threatened to kick me off a few times though, so we'll see how long that lasts. Hes been targeting me and my boyfriend and one of my best friends (she got kicked off already) my boyfriend is ranked third nationally in his age group and division though so he's super fast and the coach is hesitating on kicking him off because he's really important to the team.

I also play the saxophone (which I keep forgetting how to spell for some reason)

Umm lets see what else.. my favorite tv shows are Futurama and Friends. I have seen each soo many times. Also people with anxiety tend to rewatch tv shows bc we know whats going to happen and it gives us a sense of security, but I love these shows sm it makes me happy to rewatch. Friends is my comfort show and my favorite character is Chandler. Very random tidbit, but I have quite a few fictional crushes because my brain attaches to them for some reason.

Lol I cant really think of anything else for some reason but Ive already typed a lot.

See yall around

[SmoochsPLH]

hewwo!! :3c

my names Smoochs!! you can also call me Happy! i'm 22, ace/pan, and use she/they pronouns! i live with autism, depression, anxiety, and possibly adhd, which make it hard to not question everything i do, overthink everything, and just deal with social situations in general. but i will not let any of that stop me!!

i keep to myself most of the time and have little friends irl (of my own choice). mostly due to anxiety and i think slight agoraphobia, but also becus i'm not very social. not that i'm not friendly i just don't like strangers. ;^; you can tell i like you if i talk alot though becus i do when i'm in a good mood! or if i just get excited to see you.

in my spare time i mostly scroll through the internet and tiktok make kandi (i'm working o my first ufo cuff!!), collect lots of stuff (pokemon cards, lol surprise, toys, world's smallest toys, glitter critters, etc.), bake/cook, play video games, burn way too much incense, drink way too much pineapple fanta, take care of my plants, garden, add stuff to my aesthetic pinterest board, and listen to alot of music. i'm also learning to crochet!!

[Princess Mipha]

Not sure if I've posted here already, but oh well.. can't hurt to do it again.

So.. my name's Franziska and I'm 24 years old.
I am living since 6 1/2 years in France but I'm originally from Germany.
I've moved here to live with my french boyfriend. I never learned french in school or so, so I teached it all myself and yeah..
I really hate learning languages, let's say it like that.
My hobbies are playing video games, learning about animals (and trying to convince my bf that we need even more) and I also like to work in my garden! I have three cats (two are rescues from the shelter), 2 guinea pigs and one rabbit that i rescued from a uneducated owner (she was just too young.. I don't blame her at all). I also have two frogs living in my garden, but they are wild, but I like to act like they are my pets.
Oh yeah and one of my other hobbies is to customize consoles and controllers. I love to spraypaint my JoyCons to the current Season.
Speaking of Season, my favorite one is definitely Spring. Not too hot, not too cold and everything starts to become alive again.. and we have two peach trees outside that are pink in Spring. ^-^

What else to say, hmm.. so I am very childish for being 24 years old, but I am slowly learning to be more mature, a big reason of that is that I am going to become a mother in September. When I told my family / friends legit everybodys first reaction was: "Whaaat? I thought you said you'd never want kids? That's so cool!" I had to laugh, because it's true.. all my life I've said I would never want kids, but I guess age does indeed change your opinion sometimes.

 

[Xara]

it’s been close to a year since i last posted here so figured i’d reintroduce myself. :’)

hello everyone! my name’s xara - i’m 19yo, canadian, a high school student and i go by she/her pronouns! i’ve been playing animal crossing ever since my mom bought me a copy of wild world for christmas one year and have since played new leaf, pocket camp and now horizons! other than animal crossing, i’m really into makeup, photography, anything horror-related, reading, writing and some other stuff! i’m also a bit of a collector and mainly enjoy collecting plushies and things that i find in mystery bag/boxes. more specifically, i’m most into collecting phone cases, tokidoki figurines, disney stuff and keychains! i haven’t added to my collections in quite a while but am hoping to get back into it soon!

i talk about her a lot but i’ve got a black shorthair cat named zeva and she is,, the loml. i’ve had her since i was in elementary school and i love her so, so much. cuddling with her, playing with her, brushing her are all simple things and yet they make me so happy. i love how she squeaks instead of
meowing most of the time. i love that whenever she wants my attention, she’ll gently start pawing at me until i give her pets. i love how she makes a beeline for me as soon as i sit down or lay down because to her, that means it’s cuddle time. i love how she always wants to investigate any food or drink that someone has, even if she knows that it’s of no interest to her. i just love everything about her and i’m so grateful to have her.

despite how introverted and socially anxious i am, i actually quite like making new friends as well. it’s not something that happens very often but it always makes my heart warm. i love helping people when i can and enjoy doing little things for them such as wishing them a happy birthday!

some other little facts about me are my birthday’s march 2nd (pisces), my dream career is to be a pet groomer, my favourite animal is a deer and i have literally no idea what my sexuality is half of the time lmao.

 

[satine]

Oh here I go as Satine! I am 22 years old and I live in Texas, around the outskirts of Dallas. I am a university student! I am getting two degrees simultaneously -- Honors B.A. in History as well as a B.A. in Russian Area Studies. I am studying to go to law school! I have my heart set on going to UT Austin, and I am studying pretty hard for the entrance exam right now since I am graduating from undergraduate school in May 2022!! Which is a little later than originally planned, but it still feels like it's approaching so super quick.

For work I work for my university in the cybersecurity department. I basically am the receptionist, though I design our photoshop graphics and handle our social media account. I like it a lot better than my previous jobs lol.

I have two kitties -- one is named Caesar and he is a bengal, and the other is named Scooby, who is an orange tabby. One day I'll get a dog too but I can't do that until I have a more permanent living arrangement.

I'm really into reading and politics, particularly International politics. In fact I hope to do something involved in it someday. I'm compelled to either enter politics or help victims of CSA, human trafficking, and assault. I am a survivor myself of something along those lines (won't go into detail though please) so I feel particularly compelled to help others who suffer from it.

For fun I like to do a lot! I like to play ACNH (of course), or sometime Sid Meier's Civilization V, Skyrim and also Red Dead 2. I also write! I do role-plays haha. I haven't outgrown it yet. I only ever write with one person though. I of course speak Russian (since I'm majoring in it) and so I love to watch Russian TV or films or read about the news over there. Before everything shut down I loved to go horseback riding (I ride dressage and I am trying to get into cross country), I practiced krav maga (very beginner lol), and I actually am one of those rare heathens who enjoys running lol!

I'm SUPER into fashion. So much so that I'm teaching myself how to sew (in my very little free time) so that I can draft my own designs. I love 60s fashion, see, and it's hard to find things to my taste. I got out of shape with the dumb lockdown unfortunately so I'm working out and trying to get fit again, and I promised myself as a reward a HUGE shopping spree when I'm finished lol so I'm really excited for that!

I'm not sure what else to say here! I don't feel like I do too much these days so I feel like I barely have anything to talk about as far as hobbies go lol!

 

[Midoriya]

Outdated.

 

[secondarycolors]

Lol, I told myself I would never post here again because somehow I always end up making my intro way more complex than it needs to be. But here I go again, and I’m going to try and keep it as simple as possible this time. X)

Hey there, everyone. I’m Riley. 23 years old (almost 24), and I live in Texas near Dallas. I’m a university graduate with a degree in business administration and a concentration in journalism. I also have a fictional book series that’s been on the backburner for awhile, but that I plan on finishing at some point. It’s safe to say I love writing things WAY more than I love reading them.

I was born with Aspergers (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) and diagnosed at a young age having to deal with it my entire life. I took speech classes when I was younger though and over time I’ve just learned how to pick up on social cues and read rooms to the point where sometimes I forget I have it in the first place.

I’ve done martial arts for almost 14 years now, since I was 10 years old. I’ve managed to earn a black belt first degree (the belt after black belt) in Karate, and I have a brown belt second degree in Aikido. My goal with that is to have a black belt in multiple arts.

I also absolutely love anime and video games, especially anything by Nintendo. My top five favorite anime shows are Parasyte the maxim, My Hero Academia, Kill la Kill, Cowboy Bebop, and Jujutsu Kaisen (my list has changed from before). I really wanted to learn how to speak and understand Japanese when I was younger and still have a small pocket dictionary of Japanese words. I still want to pursue it, though it would be arguably more difficult now that I’m older.

Animal Crossing will always have a special place in my heart, as I’ve played every game in the series. Other games I like to play include Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, Smash Brothers, My Hero One’s Justice, and Genshin Impact.

Despite having a disability that cripples me socially, I absolutely love to get to know people both in real life and online and have always had a knack for being able to relate to others and help them out. If you ever want to chat about anything, need to vent, or want to be friends, my inbox is always open!

Cowboy Bebop will always be a banger. Greetings from a fellow DFW-ite.

What's good, familia. I joined this site cause I picked up New Horizons and really enjoyed my time on animalcrossingcommunity.com back during the City Folk days.

I'm 24 years old, live in the DFW area, and work in fundraising for a nonprofit - although my dream is to write and direct films. In my free time I make and watch films, skateboard, and game, among other things. Looking forward to getting to know y'all.

I've been on this site for five minutes and you're the second DFW person I've seen!

It's really cool that you're into politics - I studied public and nonprofit management in college and read a lot of politics in my free time. I haven't landed firmly on any political orientation, but libertarian socialism has intrigued me for some time, and it's hard to see myself ever becoming any more conservative than a social democrat.

 

[Holla]

I have only just realized that I have never posted in here before so hello!

I'm Holly. Holla is a childhood nickname of mine that I grew fond of and typically use for my online persona. So feel free to call me by either name. I'm a 25 year old Canadian. I actually live in Ontario super close to the US/Canada border. So before covid it was pretty easy to visit northern New York State for an afternoon. Other than the odd trip to the Northern US I've never gone travelling even though I'd love to one day.

I went to college for Civil Engineering Technology. Think infrastructure type stuff like designing water main systems, roads, sidewalks etc. Though my current job that I've had since 2019 is more in the field of mechanical engineering. I work for a conveyor company making 3D models and drawings of various conveyor components from conveyor belts, bucket elevators, screw conveyors etc.

I'm a pretty shy and quiet person in general and often suffer from anxiety. For those that follow the Myers Briggs personality types I identify most closely with being an INFJ. Once people get to know me though I can open right up and let all my silly weirdness ensue. I'm also very tomboyish for a girl.

Growing up I had an older brother. Older by just under 3 years. He was diagnosed with a severe case of Autism at a young age though, so despite being younger I often felt like the older sibling. Eventually my parents made the hard decision to give him up to a foster home cause we literally couldn't do anything together as a family. Something as simple as going to he movies was a no go, nevermind travelling anywhere. I still got to see him every other weekend at least, but ever since he moved into the foster home I grew up more like an only child really. It's still hard even today as when I see him I still can't really have any form of a conversation with him. I'm also guilty of forgetting he even exists at times and that makes me feel downright horrible.

I recently figured out that I'm a demisexual and demiromantic person. Basically I need to form a close bond with someone first before I can fall in love with or feel sexually attracted to someone. I was in a relationship where I didn't have that bond and it was a very cold and dead feeling. Even simple affectionate gestures were a huge turn off. I have recently found a new partner though and I can feel the beginnings of something there. So I know with time as we deepen our bond I am likely to fall in love it's just going to take longer than the average person and I'm ok with that. I also want to put out there that I fully support people of all different gender and sexual identities. I might not understand how you feel, but I will respect and accept you for who you are regardless.

I'm also a huge nerd/otaku. I love several video game series such as Animal Crossing, Splatoon, Fire Emblem, Mario Kart, Story of Seasons, Rune Factory, and Pokemon. I have a decent collection of Nintendo consoles as well including a Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance SP, 2 DS Lites, 3DS XL, New 3DS XL, Wii, Wii U and Switch. I love certain old classic games (like SNES era) as much as newer games. I'm into anime as well. I seem to mostly watch shounen like Fairytail, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, My Hero Academia, Hunter X Hunter etc. but I'll sometimes watch more shojo/slice of life type shows like Fruits Basket, Clannad and Angel Beats. I owe my love of anime to the classic Sailor Moon of the 90's though as it's what introduced me to that kind of media in the first place. Which is my my New Horizons island is Sailor Moon themed.

I'm sure there's more about me that I could share but I'll leave it at that. If you want to get to know me more feel free to send me a message sometime on the forums. Despite being shy I do enjoy hearing from others. See you around the forums!

[VanitasFan26]

I'm autistic and for the longest time I've always relied too much on what people think of me which has really affected me personally. I need to learn to validate myself and not focus on what people think of me and how I should not live up to their expectations. I need to decide what makes me feel good about myself and I should be around people who respect me for who I am. Its this realization that has finally hit me.

When someone tells me a hurtful thing. I feel pressured to do stuff to make them feel happy but then my mental well being suffers because I am not feeling happy about it. I feel like If I do what they tell me to do they will be happy but then I suffer on the inside. Its hard when you try to do things that make you happy but then the people you love will try to tell you to do things that is "for you own good" You try and stand up for yourself but then they tell you things that makes yourself feel worse. I hate this feeling so much.

I really want to believe there is good people out there, but in my case its very rare, because I've been hurt so many times in my personal life. I will forever remain skeptical whenever someone tells me how "nice" a community or someone else. At times they may look nice, but deep down they could be someone that could screw you over or sometimes lash out of you.

Nobody will ever understand what I go through. They don't know how it feels like to be abused, neglected, manipulated, and of course the most painful one being backstabbed by those who you thought they were people that cared about you, but then turned their backs on you. For an autistic like me its really hard because I feel like barely anyone understands that mental illness.

Combined that with depression it makes it a lot more difficult. I know there is kind people out there, but the biggest is we live in a time where its easy to spot really kind people, but deep down they can turn into something you would not expect them to be in a bad way. I'm just saying how I've been deal with this throughout my life. Not just on the internet, but in real life too.

I feel like such a fool for every causing anyone to be uncomfortable around me. I feel guilty to all the people I hurt. I'm also do hold myself accountable whenever I offended by my words or actions. Feel like everytime I talk to people I just feel like I'm becoming a burden to them. It has not been a good time for me. I know most people would get tired of me speaking, but I cannot control how they act.

I don't know if I will ever forgive myself for my foolish mistakes. No matter how hard I try to not make a single mistake I take so seriously and hold myself so hard to make sure I am not causing anymore harm to anyone or avoid others because I don't want to ruin their day or big any negativity to the community. I know I may look silly and really overactive, but its just how I am these days.

 

[WildAutistic]

I’m 25, female, recently diagnosed as autistic, classed as too disabled to work but I consider myself an artist. I work on paper. No digital stuff. My brother who is also my carer says I am really good at art but I failed art in school. They had so many rules about art even though the truth is there is no right or wrong in art. I left school with an F in GCSE art. But to anyone who is no good at tests, know this. There is no such thing as doing art wrong. Art is a form of self expression. How you think, how you feel, how you see the world around you. Cartoons are a form of artwork no matter what anyone says. So express yourself the way you want to. I hope this message helps anyone on here who loves creating art. Also I am here for anyone who needs someone to talk to.
