Don't be crass he means Timmy and Tommy who, to be fair, would totally break your knees

Everyone loves watching Timmy and Tommy hit each other with pool noodles in the backyard until Tom Nook upgrades it to lead pipes

IMO Tom had to negotiate with them to downgrade to the pool noodles

Hi everyone! Wow it's been a month. No I did not drop or forget about this, my life just got massively derailed.

I still have a bunch of already screenshotted events to catch up on so I'm hoping to do that soon. It might be a bit before we get to the time skip.

The Flame Shirt Timeline


Me standing outside my house

It’s another beautiful evening in Hell, and I am ready to make loads of money.

I find a shirt in the dumpster labeled Flame Shirt

I put it on. It looks amazing.

AW YEAH! Check out my awesome shirt I got in the GARBAGE! Now I can sell all these other stupid shirts!

I go to Tom Nook’s store and stare at the colorful kiddie couch

I swing on over to Tom Nook’s and eye this beautiful couch. The kiddie furniture was always my favorite, but it’s even better than I remembered it.

Then the worst happens.

I can’t move. I can’t leave. Something about the kiddie couch has sucked me into its orbit.

The game is frozen.

Now I have to talk to Resetti

The flame shirt no longer exists at the dump

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY


Moving on


I talk to Gabi the rabbit

I try to make small-talk with a new neighbor, but I’m tormented by the parallel universe that was wrenched cruelly from my hands. It’s not fair. It’s just not fair.

Everyone is at the fishing tournament

Today is the fishing tourney, which would be super duper awesome if I had a fishing rod, but I don’t.

Nate Wrote:If I'm remembering correctly, this is a good spot, yawwwn. I caught some good ones last year!

Pinky Wrote:All the bass in this pond swim away at the smallest noise!

Quetzal Wrote:Will! The fish I'm gonna catch, it's gonna be so big that I'm gonna need you to help me carry it!

Everyone seems so happy. It’s like they don’t even know I lost the most epic tee shirt of all time.

Mail


To Tom: You gotta get me out of here. I’m so scared! Send meat products! From Will.

To Nate: Asshole. From Will.

To Maple: Taco Bell Baja Blast with no ice Cheesy Gordita Crunch Fiesta Potatoes Beefy Five Layer Burrito Pickup order for Will. From Will.

To Amelia: (long pause) Slime man. From Will.

To Quetzal: A lot of of key emojis. Solve the wizard’s keys! A bunch of smiley faces and a skull. Spot the skull! Lightning bolt. From Will.

To Pinky: To Pinky. From Will. From Will.

Pelly tells me that they don’t have room for any more letters.

Dinosaur Summer


Hey, the museum is a great way to make money, right? I’ll just identify all my fossils and flip them back to Nook for a fantastic profit.

Blathers tells me I will have to mail my fossils to the museum.

Blathers says: What we have here, when we cut to the quick, is a rather large, expensive, and thoroughly empty box.

are you kidding me

 From the museum: The Farway Museum cordially invites you to take part in its free fossil identification program. Send us any fossil you find, and we'll identify it and return it promptly.

 From Quetzal: Hold up, neighbor! Just what the hey was up with that wacked~out letter? Don't go cutting corners when you write me! You were making no sense! Write a REAL note!

From Amelia: Look, I give up. I tried my bast to understand your note but I just couldn’t do it. Couldn't you try to write in plain English next time? It would make things easier.

From Nate: Well...uh...thanks for the note, I guess. But here's the thing: I didn't have a clue what you were trying to say. Next time, try to make some sense. Simplify, dude!

Daily shopping


Bulletin board message from Chip: Fishing Tourney Results! Champion: Nate, for catching a 26-incher! Hook me up with some bigger fish next time!

26 inches? What kind of sick and twisted place is this…

Me with a lacy parasol.

Still no fishing rod today. I found this really cute umbrella in the garbage, though!

Errands


Gabi: Hey, so I'm working on this town beautification project for Hell. Wanna hear about it?

Gabi Wrote:Our first project will be planting lots of flowers around an important site... My house! Tee hee hee!

I really don’t feel like planting flowers right now, because that would involve spending money, and right now my goal is to get my house as big as possible. Moving on.

Pinky: Hey, wait up a second! Where are you going? By gum, I'm MAKING it my business, cubbie!

Pinky Wrote:Sneaking around like that, with a wicked little grin on your face... You're up to something, I can just tell!

You know Maple, don't you? Well, I want you to go ask that moocher for my picture book back!


I quickly book it to Maple’s corner of town…

Maple: I didn't mean to keep it for so long... Please, take it back to Pinky before I get in trouble, honey!

Pinky: Hey, I'm not always happy-go-lucky, ya know, cubbie! Jeepers! Leave me alone, OK?

… but Pinky’s miserable when I get back, so I have to wait.

The present


A present tied to a balloon floats overhead.

A present flies overhead. I start kicking myself: of course this would happen now, when I don’t even have a slingshot yet!

The present lands in a tree.

But wait, this is Gamecube, and they hadn’t added the slingshot yet. You just wait around for it to land in a tree and then you can grab it.

I have a pear in my inventory now.

Now I can have a pear tree!

I can see why they added the slingshot, to spice up the gameplay even just a little bit, but I’m realizing it feels more like a downgrade for quality-of-life. It’s just another tool that takes up space in your inventory, and now you can accidentally shoot it into the river.
