Line 27:
*** It's completely possible to be a 'closeted furry,' just as it's possible to be a 'closeted homosexual'-- It doesn't mean you're ''not'' a furry, it means you're in denial about or disgusted at relating to/being attracted to anthropomorphic animals.
* See... the truth is a sortof [[Lighter and Softer]] version of ''[[The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing]]''. Moving to town, you meet a bunch of furry animals. None of them seem to think it's odd that they're all furry animals, or that you're the only human on the island. In fact, they're very friendly and accepting of you! Gradually you become more comfortable around them, helping them out with odd jobs, choosing friends and favorites. Eventually, however, you'll probably stop playing. When you've truly abandoned your town, your character transforms into an animal just like the others, becoming just another animal resident, just another NPC. But as long as you keep playing, you'll stave off the transformation.
* This would sort of tie in with a WMG about ''[[Cheburashka (Literature)/WMG|Cheburashka]]''.
 
== Your human character is a stranded and lonely schizophrenic with a split personality. ==
Line 59:
Repeatedly hinted at in-game, but never ''quite'' confirmed. All but confirmed in the Wii game, which replaces the option to donate to Boondox with the option to donate to your own town's civic fund.
 
== Gyroids are [[Soul Jar|Soul Jars]]s ==
You know those animals that write letters saying they're going away? This is actually some sort of funerary ritual, in which the deceasing member of the community sends a goodbye letter one day before his predicted death. Then their bodies are disposed on the sea, and the natives bury a funerary statue somewhere. And here comes the creepiest part: the soul of the deceased never leave the village! They come back to haunt the same funerary statues that have been buried in honor to them. And that's why the gyroids can move and... boink. Or whatever sound they make.
* To make matters worse, the gyroids look similar to a Haniwa, clay figures which in Japanese rituals, would be buried with the deceased.
Line 73:
== Tom Nook is actually a former contractor who founded the island with a partner who perished long ago, and harvests the organs of the residents for his wife Penny to use to replace her own. ==
* And [http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/Animal%20Crossing/index.html this] is why Chewbot is the man.
* You should also warn people that reading that will probably make you terrified to sleep at night, because you're secretly living in a large, real-world equivalent of Camp and you don't even know it. Or worse-- youworse—you do.
 
== Adding to the above: Gyroids slowly turn you into an animal. ==
Line 79:
 
== You play a retired secret agent. ==
* You wake up one day in a mysterious house. You're the only normal person in town. The others seem to come and go at random. The whole place is shut off from the outside world except for a well-guarded exit controlled by the town and a shoreline that has, at most, one active boat, and is the site of odd things, or half-dead people, constantly washing up onto the beach. Both of these routes only take you to another near-identical village, and even then you inevitably return to your home town anyway. The nominal leader is rarely if ever seen and does nothing at all, but the "second" most powerful figure controls absolutely everything, and yet only ever seems to do any business with you, nobody else. The only buildings are oddly decorated houses, a single clothing store, a single other store that sells everything else, a town hall, which does everything, and a museum, which also revolves entirely around you for no apparent reason. There is only one source of news for the town, and it only ever covers local things. ''Very'' local things. And personal ads. Violations of the rules are enforced by an unstoppable entity who will attack you at the drop of a hat when summoned. Incredibly often, the whole town breaks out into a random bizarre celebration. And the most popular fashion accessory? Bizarre parasols.<br /><br />What am I describing: Animal Crossing, or The Prisoner?
 
What am I describing: Animal Crossing, or The Prisoner?
** "Who are you?" - "The new Tom Nook." - "Who is the mayor?" - "You are the player." - "I am not a player, I am a FREE MAN!"
 
Line 91 ⟶ 93:
 
== Gyroids are the worker-slaves of a long dead civilization, singing to ease the pain of eternal life with no meaning. ==
[[Discworld|Golems]]. Also [[Doctor Who (TV)|Ood]]. Long ago, they Gyroids worked for the civilization that built and knew how to control them. The civilization died out, either by landslide/volcano or by plague. The Gyroids that were inactive simply stayed where they were, and those that were preforming a task when their controllers died either stopped, kept going until the task was complete or the object of the task was destroyed, or still wander the earth to this day. After a few hundred million years, they started singing (either because they're [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|sick of immortality]], or the humming is a sort of "check engine light".)
 
== Dung beetles adapted to making use of snowballs in the [[Animal Crossing]] world. ==
''Wild World'' and ''City Folk'' have dung beetles. They're dung beetles, so they're found pushing balls of dung, right? Wrong. They always push snowballs and never appear in seasons other than winter due to this. Why is this? Well, take a look around you. Before you moved in, your new hometown was inhabited entirely by sapient animals. Sapient, like you and me. Thus, they are obviously capable of knowing not to do their business out in the open. Dung beetles, being [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|beetles who make balls of dung]], will have a hard time finding any dung, so they use snow instead. Apparently it works fine. Oh, and those snowballs you find sitting around your town? Dung beetles made them, because everyone knows that snow doesn't spontaneously form into balls.
* But a dung beetle in a cage/box/whatever pushes a brownish-grey ball of... something that's ''not'' snow.
** Clearly, dirt. It has to be put on the floor of the cage for the insects to live more comfortably!
Line 107 ⟶ 109:
* This made my day.
 
== Tom Nook has connections with the [[Psychonauts (Video Game)|Psychonauts]] ==
He runs a summer camp and he has you do meaningless tasks and dig up things in exchange for token rewards. No way that's a coincidence.
* Did you mean [[Holes]]?
Line 114 ⟶ 116:
 
== Tom Nook is a philanthropic magical forger. ==
He uses the bells to buy things and trade up so he can replenish his mana pool in order to make more bells out of leaves, in order to add to the local economy. He's a creep about it because repeatedly using almost all of your mana while [[Hidden Heart of Gold|trying to keep your philanthropy a secret]] tends to do that. If he didn't, the animals would have little modern convenience and be stuck out in the middle of nowhere while the humans live it up in their city of invisible people (...philanthropomorphic?). Going to all this trouble is also why he wants you to help so much: it's either to make at least one human atone by working for the other animals, make himself believe that humans aren't [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|all bad]], or (my preferred version) begin bridging the gap between the humans and Animal Crossing species/breeds/races/whatever.
 
== [[Ruby Quest (Roleplay)|Ruby Quest]] is canon in the Animal Crossing universe. ==
Hey, why not?
* A rabbit named Ruby, a cat named Tom, a fox named Red(d), a bird named Ace, and someone named Filbert.

== NPC houses are built Welsh style. ==
In the game, a sign transforms into an NPC villager's house overnight. Such [[Ridiculously -Fast Construction]] is plausible even in [[Real Life|our world]]; see [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C5%B7_unnos:Tŷ unnos|Welsh one-night houses]].
 
== Brewster is somehow secretly related to Sanae from [[The World Ends With You (Video Game)|The World Ends With You]] ==
Think about it: they both run coffee shops, have a rather laidback attitude towards life, Brewster is an animal and Sanae {{spoiler|can transform into Panthera Cantus}}.

== Mr. Resetti and Don Resetti are agents/aspects of God or are Gods. And the underground realm is another dimension. ==
Which is to say, the game's God, or whatever version thereof. Whenever the game resets, only these two--andtwo—and the player--areplayer—are aware of it. And they only show up when you start mucking about with the game's equivalent of the Time-Space continuum, with the power of erasing your save files, essentially ''erasing you from the timeline''. And the underground where they come from. Think about it. You never see it, nobody even mentions it. Fossils come from underground. The gyroids come from underground. Tom Nook may ''think'' he is in charge, but the real lords of the game world are these moles. Maybe he knows it. Maybe everyone knows it. Maybe nobody talks about it for ''fear of being erased from existence.'' Oh, yes. These moles are ''angry'' gods. Speak not of them, make no mention, lest ye be '''''[[Large Ham|FORGOTTEN]]'''''.
 
== Ankha the cat and Lucky the dog are connected somehow. ==
