My theory for AC itself is that the mayor (or player character) is a child from a dysfunctional family, whose parents were recently divorced which has left the child scarred. Because of the psychological scarring caused by the bad divorce, the child has chosen to live inside a dream world where all his toys -- the villagers -- have come to life to comfort him. He wants to play his troubles away and creates a village and individual personalities for each of them. But toys get lost, so when they do, his mother replaces them with new toys. The dad moved out after the divorce, but still loves him and is one the unknown sender of the letter we received at the beginning of the game. But because he has to pay his bills, child support, and alimony, he has very little time to write to his child, which is why we receive more letters from the mother. The other three optional players represent the child's friends, who come to visit and play with him. They are allowed inside his world because they did not hurt him like his parents did. The no running rule is the child's subconscious mind, telling him that if he only calmed down enough to breathe and look at everything around, he'd see that things had already gotten better, even though his parents were no longer together.
^This is the post I made in the ACNL Theories earlier this week. I find it odd that people think it's creepy and also a bit hurtful because I feel like they're saying that I, by extension as the creator of said theory, am creepy. I feel like it's my fault, though, because no one on this site really knows me, even though I've been a member for more than a year.
So what I want to make people understand is that I didn't spend, like, days and weeks, figuring out some weird, creepy theory about ACNL in order to get attention and freak people out. No, that's not what happened. What happened is I've been wondering what the AC back story is for a while. Since last year, actually, when I start reading a fanfiction that said ACNL was the result of a nuclear war that resulted in mass mutation. Then I saw the ACNL Theories thread and it made me start thinking about it again. The reason I was able to come up with the theory on the spot is because I am a writer. I write stories, fanfictions, etc. in my spare time and it's my dream to write a novel and have the characters bought by Marvel. The other reason why is because I love psychology. Sort of. See, I realized that I was sick when I was 12 and started studying psychology as a hobby to figure out what was wrong with me. So now I'm highly adept at psychological analyzations, whether I like it or not.
WHICH IS ALL MY THEORY IS.
It is my psychological analyzation of several of the aspects of ACNL and basically boils down to, "The whole game is the fantasy of a kid who's depressed because his parents broke up." I don't understand how that is scary, but that could just be because I'm weird. Honestly, I never put any thought it into whether or not it was right when I was writing it. All that was going through my head at the time was, "Holy cheese sticks, this actually makes freaking sense!" and I was so excited it actually made even a little bit of sense that I didn't stop to think about the aspects of the game I hadn't analyzed. Like gyroids or any of that stuff. Although, now that a few days have passed, I actually have started thinking on that, too, but I'm not going to share those.
I just wanted you guys to understand that I'm not some twisted person, coming up with creepy theories for kicks. I know these reasons aren't less weird than that. But a lot of the time, I actually hate being so good at psychology. It makes me stand out and a lot of the time, it is a constant reminder that I am sick and not normal. I also want to know why people find this theory creepy because when I read it, it just makes me depressed. It doesn't frighten me in the least. It just makes me really sad.
