on the back wall (top right corner of this screenshot) you can clearly see A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Seurat and what I believe to be Van Gough's Starry Night to the left of it, implying that the impressionist movement is cannon in animal crossing

This means that the French Academy existed in order for there to be a painting tradition for the impressionist to break away from, which means there was a French aristocracy and monarchy. Therefor, its likely that the French Revolution is an actual historical even in AC cannon

Long story short, the Guillotine exists in the Animal Crossing cannon, ergo Tom Nook can and will be beheaded some day, Hi welcome to my Ted Talk
