Every time I nostalgia trip about Animal Crossing
I’m not really a fan of the Tom Nook Loan Shark jokes.
I just think, goddamn, Tom Nook is such a good dad friend. I repeat this A LOT but like, he gives you, a kid on their own for the first time in their lives A HOUSE with a low mortgage to someone with no credit. Then he gives you a starter job and on top of that he straight up tells you to pay off the house at your own pace without any interest.
And then I start crying when I remember his development arc and how he went to the city and it changed him. Like for what little story Animal Crossing has, the Able Sister/Tom Nook story is really tear jerking.
Tom Nook is a cool guy.
