What's up with this tombstone?

[Sweetley]

Found on twitter (credits goes to this user here):

For some reasons, there is a random tombstone hidden in this spot. Now tombstones aren't something new in AC, as there are two which are part of the Creepy series, however, this... I don't know, it looks a bit serious? I mean, I don't wanna go that far and saying that this is the grave of a dead villager/NPC (although I already saw wild theories on twitter saying this is Tortimer's "new home" ahem...), death is not really a topic in AC and it could be just a PWP/outdoor item that got placed there without a meaning. Still pretty weird if you ask me...

i’m pretty sure it’s just furniture and not meaningful or anything. it could make spooky islands so much cooler !! imagine having gravestones next to you house during halloween... yes yes yes

 

[Kristenn]

I saw that too and was so confused... I was thinking maybe it was just decor for those who want scary/creepy towns

 

[meggiewes]

There was speculation on a stream that it might be Wisp's daytime home. But, I bet it is just a decoration.

 

[Noctis]

It can be a home decor item. I know someone had a section in their town for their dog who passed away and had white carnations in that area. This can signify the same thing as you can see some type of white flower surrounding the grave.

I swear, that better not be Tortimer...

 

[Stevey Queen]

Omg yay I was hoping for creepy furniture items for outside!

 

[Senegal]

I also think it's just decoration, since I feel like villager deaths(or something alike) would be a bit extreme for a series like Animal Crossing. I'm curious to find out though!

 

[silasthevillager]

I agree that it's just furniture

 

[Xara]

it’s likely just furniture but it could also be where wisp is during the day, like meggiewes said

 

[empressbethie]

Maybe they noticed how obsessed everyone got with Aika

 

[Noctis]

I swear, that better not be Tortimer...

Jeremy be quiet...shhhhh

I'm just planning on having tombstones everywhere.

I can't wait to see this games haunted islands. The ones in NL were so creative!

at first when I saw it I thought that those flowers on top was Tortimer's cane lmao

same!

 

[Dewy]

I hope it’s Wisp’s home because I think that would be pretty cute (although a little creepy)
But probably a furniture item. Who knows!

If it’s Tortimer I’m throwing my Switch in the trash

 

[Imbri]

I'm guessing it's for Wisp.

That's someone who couldn't pay off their debt to Tom Nook.

 

[Aubrey895]

lol I didn?t even notice. Most likely it is just for looks.

 

[Romaki]

Well, we already had gravestones for decoration, so I don't think it'll add anything lorewise...
