#AnimalCrossing villagers / NPCs as #TheMagnusArchives Avatars: a thread

1) Pietro as The Stranger. Fear of the unknown and the creeping sense that something isn't right. Presents as objects pretending to be people, like mannequins and waxworks. Enjoys the theatrical.

2) Zipper T. Bunny as The Desolation. Fear of loss and destruction, of destroyed lives and things before their full potential, cruel and unthinking. Everywhere you turn, your island destroyed. Your hobbies, your trees. Your rocks and dirt and seas and even your sky...

3) Tom Nook as The Web. Fear of being controlled, trapped, and manipulated. Your will is not your own. Never-ending loans and deals, a creeping sense of always owing and becoming more and more... trapped.

4) Isabelle as The Eye. The fear of being watched. Exposed. Your secrets known. You never stop to chat to Isabelle, but somehow she always knows... everything. She asks you about things you haven't even dreamed of, yet, but you know are part of you...

5) Flick as The Corruption. The Hive. If a stinkbug were to manifest before me, how would I react? Laughter? Weeping? They reflect this sullied world, yet retain their own beauty. I am bewitched by those compound eyes. Feel the energy of summer bugs in your very skin...

6) Blathers as The Buried. The fear of underground and being buried, of dust and isolation. The crushing weight under the soil. You see, to a true fossil connoisseur, the joy of fossil hunting lies more in the search than in the find. Dig. Dig. DIG. DIG. DIG. DIG. DIG. DIG--

7) Celeste as The Vast. The fear of our own insignificance, of being lost in too much space. I think about all the stuff that makes up our bodies, and how it's just the remnants of stars that died away eons and eons ago... I just wonder... what will they all become, someday?

8) Franklin as The Flesh. The fear of animals, bred for meat and butchery... "Imagine my surprise when I meet your ancient tortoise of a mayor, and the first words out his mouth are 'How delectable- I mean delightful. How delightful to see you.' I should never have come."

9) Gulliver as The Lonely. The fear of isolation, of being forsaken and alone. You wouldn't abandon a poor, yet manly, seagull like me, would you? The chill of the Ice Cavern is nothing compared to getting the cold shoulder... I'm sure my crew mates are looking for me...

10) Chip as The Hunt. The fear of being chased, of being prey . Surgeonfish right? It's got a real distinct stench to it, all stinky and so on. Assaults the nostrils! I-I mean.. I'm still gonna eat it. Of course I am! I'm perfectly happy to just swallow them whole. YUM!

11) Blanca as The Spiral. The fear of madness, lost sanity and deception, lying and the sense of a world not right. Sure, she likes to stir up trouble around the town. But when you see her out relaxing at the campground, she looks so... Well, she still looks pretty creepy.

SHIT I HIT TWEET BEFORE I WAS DONE OOPS OTHER 3 ON THEIR WAY LMAO

12) Resetti as The End. The oldest fear. Death. Well, if that's what you're really lookin' for, lemme help you out. I'll hit RESET for you. Everythin' that you've done so far? All that you've worked for? Forget about it. That's right. It's all going bye-bye. Well, see ya!

13) Snowmen as The Slaughter. Violence and pain. The oncoming end. The uncertainty. Sometimes a violent explosion, sometimes a cold, calmness. These beings, created and left to melt. I just want to make one light shine before I melt away, oh woe is me...

14) Wisp as The Dark. The fear of darkness and what might be lurking in it, and the deep love of that cold, endless void. Well, to be honest with you... I love the darkness. Especially nighttime. You scared some pieces of my spirit right out of me...

AND DONE! I hit the post button too earlier before, but now this masterpiece of mine is finished. Hope this brought a giggle to you and a little touch of the spooky to your game!
