ok so since we’re telling Animal Crossing stories, I don’t really have a story per se, but I just need to express that how deeply I got my heart broken when I was ten and I NEVER got over it, and the it was THIS EAGLE that did it
So this is Apollo, who is a cranky villager. When I was playing on gamecube, I was a little too young to commit to an animal crossing game completely, but by the time it came out on DS, I was INVESTED.
Apollo was one of the starting villagers in my town and he was, as I said, cranky. This means he could be kinda mean, but you know I like the villagers like him and Whitney who are tougher to break through but you can become buds with after a while. That’s why I always do things like make sure I talk to Sable every day. Breaking down their walls is very rewarding to me.
Anyway, so Apollo lived in my town and he lived near the beach. I can still remember exactly where his house was. I decided to make him my friend for mulitple reasons. He was cranky, like I said, and that was endearing. But also I’ve always had a thing for Greek mythology and his name is literally Apollo. Plus I liked the style of this house. I almost always had modern furniture in my AC houses at this time. So I became friends with Apollo gradually over time.
One thing that happened when you became really close friends with villagers in AC was that they’d give you pictures of themselves that you could display in your house. I NEVER got to the point where I got a picture from a villager. Never. Getting a picture required a lot of work, and I was like ten so I didn’t commit too hard though I ALWAYS wanted someone’s picture I could display. I would have literally settled for anyone.
One day though, Apollo gave him a picture of him. This was the first and last time I ever got a picture from an animal crossing villager, and it was from him, my best friend Apollo.
And then only days later, I go into his house and he has his boxes packed.
I tried and tried and tried to convince him to stay in town, but I couldn’t do it. He was determined. He was leaving. And he did.
He literally gave he his picture and then left town and I haven’t had Apollo in any of my animal crossing towns since then. Not because I don’t want him there and I kick him out or anything. I would be THRILLED if Apollo came back. He just hasn’t. At least he let me know we were best friends before he left.
