SB x Animal Crossing Headcanons

Freddy

His island theme would either space themed or have a woodsy feel. Maybe he would have one half of the island start off as woodsy, and then further into it it becomes space. His villagers are definitely bears and cubs, maybe one bunny villager as a homage to Bonnie (he's definitely got a high friendship with said bunny villager). He's definitely a good island representative, making sure he takes care of his island and is always building something. His island is before his own needs, so his house would probably only be up to the 2nd upgrade. He's willing to help out other players by giving them NMTs and bells, since he seems to be rich in that aspect. He doesn't change out any of his villagers, and he gets sad whenever one of them wants to move...

His island is 5 stars.

His villagers: Beardo, Ike, Megan, Charlise, Grizzly, Stitches, Maple, Poncho, Bluebear, and Sasha.

Chica

Her island is bright colored, mostly pastel pink, everything is cutesy and food related too. She definitely has little shops and decorations meant to represent food stands. She's just enjoys collecting pink items and coming up with new build ideas for the island. She definitely has perfect fruit as well. She's got the full DIY cook book completed, having an overabundance of recipes which she gives to players and friends for free whenever they visit. She's also great at happy home design. She's a master at the stalk market... she's got the best prices. She's a 4 star island.

Most of her villagers are birds and bunnies...

Her villagers:

Ruby, Coco, Dotty, Piper, Jay, Midge, Quinn, Phil, Phoebe, Cranston

Roxy

Her island is car themed, with a big makeshift salon she created. She has a lot of clothes and hair styles, it's a fashion show every week. She has a lot of wands too. Her storage is running out of space because of how much shit she has...

She forces her villagers to stay, she likes them a lot. She dresses them up, even Barold. She's got a good friendship with Viviane, that's her girl. She's not rich like Freddy or Chica, but she's just having a good time hanging around her villagers and collecting clothing items.

Her villagers:

Audie, Fang, Skye, Viviane, Ankha, Bonbon, Barold, Judy, Amelia

Monty

His island is country swamp theme, one side is country the other swamp. He's not a good builder but he's trying, he's got a few furniture items he's using the build with. Freddy's always giving him stuff, as much as he doesn't want it. A lot of unread mail...

Bros chilling with his flimsy tools.

He's not focused too much on the island, but he likes island hopping and collecting resources, mostly visiting his friend's islands to hang out. He prefers fishing and filling out his critter encyclopedia, and filling the museum. He doesn't really play that much but when he does he chills out with his villagers and fishes. His favorite villager is Dobie. He's rocking at 2 stars, but he's in no rush to get 5 stars.

His villagers:

Apollo, Kabuki, Boots, Leonardo, Drake, Rosewell, Genji, Sparro, Curt, Dobie.

Bonnie

His island is 80s bowling themed with some space elements (...coughs). Any leftover or duplicate items Freddy had he'd nab to put on his own island, most of which were space themed. He likes island hopping most for resources and to increase profits. He's got four stars, he's trying to reach 5 stars so he can brag to Roxy (she's at 3 stars). Most of his villagers are bunnies, a few cubs, and a bear. Of course, he's gonna have the highest friendship with the bear villager because it reminds him of Freddy. He's definitely using his secluded beach as a little hangout spot for him and Freddy when he visits his island.

His villagers:

Claude, Snake, Tiffany, Francine, Chrissy, Kody, Pekoe, Pudge, Vladimir, Teddy

For #WorldBearDay:

White Spirit Bears by Apache elder Judy Tallwing (b. 1945), 2012. Resin/silver/garnet/sterling/acrylic/copper/diamonds on canvas. From American Visionary Art Museum's "The Secret Life of Earth" show in 2019.

BTW "Spirit Bear" aka "Ghost Bear" aka Moksgm'ol isn't a Polar Bear; it's a rare white morph (NOT albino) of the Kermode Bear, a subspecies of American Black Bear (Ursus americanus kermodei) endemic to coastal British Columbia. It's BC's official mammal & sacred to the region's First Nations peoples.

My heart is hurting for Colorado Springs and the LGBTQIA community. My community. Our community.

The tragic events of Saturday, November 19th left a hole in our hearts. It took away a safe space that many in the Colorado Springs LGBTQIA community called home.

This club was so close to my home. I had driven by this place a number of times. I had even pulled up the website days prior to see what events they held during the week, excited to see karaoke, trivia, and even weekend drag show!

My heart hurts for what happened, and I want to show my support in any way that I can. Whether I only sell $20 in patterns or $200. Every penny counts.

Link below is for the GoFundMe organized by Greg Resha (Kyree Myst), a former Club Q employee. Funds will go toward the medical and funeral expenses of the victims and their families.

The other links are for other Cub Q GoFundMe fundraisers. There are several more if you search "Colorado Springs Club Q"

You can show your support with likes and shares! Or consider donating if you can, or perhaps get a cross stitch pattern so that you can stitch in the name of love, and justice. Sailor Moon may not stitch for love and justice, but she sure as hell would fight for it.

[Now I'm imagining a Judge Judy or Maury-esque trial over the custody/parentage of Sun Luzhen and the other SWKs vs their universes' respective Nuwa, Houtu and Fuxi.]

Goodness, that guy has to earn a LOT of overtime to deal with SWKs and the fams nonsense. Hope they invite him to family events too X)

[Reborn SWK/Smokey is the most furious since he has a whole complex over not having parents.]

I wanna write something funny, but all I can make up is the image of Reborn Nuwa shoving as much money and stuff as possible as Hush Money so that their connection stays a secret. I feel like that would make Smokey super-duper mad.

[Plum, realising that he probably shouldn't have said that: "The... the supreme goddess of the moon?" (o_o;) Other LEMs: "THE WHO?!?"]

Plum, poking head into the room with the SWKs: Sorry about that, but I think I broke your partners.

Damn, so Mac's also royalty! Although, how well known was that if he worked as PIFs attendant in the Celestial Realm?

...now I am curious how Babs and Gibs came to be...what's their lineage? And do they know of it?

[Different SWKs reactions ahoy!]

Hmm...how do the LEM's (and rest of the Pilgrims if they are around) feel about Luzhen? He has to quite literally rock their world with the revelations.

[He's used to sudden children by now.]

Peach, hearing Dasheng's footsteps in the house: Hey, bud, what's ahhh... *Sees that Dasheng has 10 kids, all hanging from his limbs...* Umm...

Dasheng: I walked by an orphanage...

Peach: Wow, your dad vibes are over 9000, huh?

Dasheng: What does that even mean?!

[heck yeah, I'm dad, not our neglectful creators.]

I am picturing Dasheng looking at either of the gods in question and going, "Oh look at that, the deadbeats are here. Have you brought the child support or do I have to boot you off my mountain again?"

[it's not his fault another him got made! And whats more he's furious at their creators for "allowing" another Stone Monkey to be born to face the same crisis/trials he did.]

You know, I once read that we grow up to be the person our younger selves would have felt the safest with. Paraphrased a bit, but the idea is there. They are two different people, but, maybe he can help heal his inner child in this way.

[His cub now, their creators can screw off!]

I have this image: One of the parents in question coming in hot to claim parental rights or something, only for Cherry, handling his Luzhen off to somebody to keep safe, to launch an attack so brutal and bloody Buddha took one look at the carnage and noped out of there, going like "Not even I am willing to fuck with that. Nope."

[They do have a little brain itch of what this could mean for them tho.]

Not the brain itch you or Shihou were having, but mine is itching with the question of...how would SWK and/or LEM handle a child with cognitive disabilities - like serious ones at that?

[Meanwhile Mac is just like; "He's a toddler. They all want to fight heaven."]

Well, he's not wrong. I am told as a small child I advocated for burning the government whenever the adults complained about something relating to politics. I was quite the anarchist.

[albeit one thats technically his uncle(?) he's not gonna worry about that part.]

I did one read a book where the middle-school-aged-MC had a two-year-old Baby Aunt. I also thought it was odd - but also one hell of a way to find out your parents/grandparents are still getting it on.

Gonna have to be my replies under Read more soon cus gotdang you really give me a lot to talk about! /positive :D

[Goodness, that guy has to earn a LOT of overtime to deal with SWKs and the fams nonsense. Hope they invite him to family events too X)]

SWK's lawyer def gets a yearly holiday card, and invites to family events. He's practically family after the first couple of scandals.

[I wanna write something funny, but all I can make up is the image of Reborn Nuwa shoving as much money and stuff as possible as Hush Money so that their connection stays a secret. I feel like that would make Smokey super-duper mad.]

F in chat to poor Smokey; who wanted a meaningful relationship/an apology from his creators and now only has worthless hush money, and a small son/brother(?) to take care of.

[Damn, so Mac's also royalty! Although, how well known was that if he worked as PIFs attendant in the Celestial Realm?]

The Celestial Realm recognised LMK!Mac as *belonging* to the supreme Mood Deity, but were unsure exactly how. He's a monkey after all, and Taiying is human (they think). Maybe he's her pet? Alchemy experiment gone wrong? Either way, he was a calming influence on the young and frustrated Princess Tieshan, so he was at least treated with the same respect as a lady-in-waiting - although not as much as humanoid celestial would be.

If the Celestial Realm knew the Six Eared Macaque was the child of the Supreme Moon Deity, then he might have had some weight to throw around the court - if Lady Taiying recognised him as such. Otherwise its another aspect they would have mocked him for - whats more to them than another illegitimate noble?

Also; Plum accidentally breaking all the other LEMs cus he didn't realise that they didn't know about their origins. XD

[…now I am curious how Babs and Gibs came to be…what's their lineage? And do they know of it?]

Odds are those two were created by separate star entities long before the modern earth even existed. Earth is were they spent their teenage/college years essentially before they retired to space. If they know of their origins, they don't care much.

Rest of replies under Read More!

[Hmm…how do the LEM's (and rest of the Pilgrims if they are around) feel about Luzhen?]

Most of the LEMs are shocked silent for the most part.

Plum/LMK!Mac: in particular a little annoyed but adoring that a tiny copy of Wukong has been dropped onto his lap. But hey, free baby is free baby. Will kill anything that dares to inflict any of SWK's trauma onto Luzhen.

Zhanshi/HiB!LEM: immediately goes full mom-mode on the infant monkey. Little guy needs a stable home after all! Hunting down his primordial in-laws for answers can wait... for now.

Liang/Reborn!LEM: is a little faster to accept Luzhen as their responsibility than Smokey, and helps to be the "softer" parent of the two. They def agree that the gods can screw off tho.

Olive/Netflix!LEM: is initially so freaked out that they don't want anything to do with Luzhen. But the moment the little guy reaches out for a hug... who is Olive to deny him? A bit colder, but is warming up fast. Is the one who holds Luzhen while Cherry fights the gods - like the infamous "Get his ass baby, I got your flower" except flower is baby.

Joker/NewGods!LEM: is already bouncing the kid on his knee. Its a shock but hey, its like how they got their MK. Little guy is stinking adorable too. Is also very mad at the gods for being so irresponsible. Probably gets really defensive when people ask if him and Ace are Luzhen's grandparents tho.

Spice/2000s!LEM: is scared. So very scared. Mostly out of worry. He's just coming to terms with his own creation/identity, and now there's a bonus Wukong?! What if the gods take Luzhen away!? He needs to sit down a bit. Takes him a while to see Luzhen as more than a extension of SWK, afterwards its more mentor and tudi vibes.

Meihouwang Mihou: is... still in shock. He reacted badly enough to Shihou's arrival, and now an entire infant version of Shihou needs food and parents to take care of him. Its overwhelming. And then Shihou approaches him for advice? On how to raise Luzhen? Oh gosh, maybe this was a sign from the gods. His ears are flooded with the sounds of wedding bells and laughing infants. This oz his and Shihou's baby now. Still asks the Elder monkeys for help tho, since he barely knows what to do more than Shihou does.

Lilac/Smash!LEM: is hesistant to get close. They feel that they can't just drop everything to raise a whole kid, not with their career quicky on the rise. Their Wukong is such a good caretaker tho, and Lilac feels a little guilty when they can't join in on family time. Def dedicates a song about "little falling stars" to Luzhen, and has frequent video calls when he's away. Vows to spoil the kid anytime they're together to make up for any time lost.

The other pilgrims are having bluescreen errors every time they try thinking about the ramifictions of multiple earth/creation gods pulling up to drop lore like that.

The Tripitakas are torn between "Oh its a blessing!" and "Oh sweet Buddha, theres two of them now." HiB!Liuer has already claimed his Luzhen as his little brother/fellow tudi.

You know the Zhu Bajie's are laughing their butts off once the shock wears off. Lots of child support jokes. Declares themselves the different Luzhens' uncles.

Sha Wujing is a little more... unsettled. Why did a bunch of gods just show up- oh sweet buddha they're Older Brother Sun's creators?! And theres' a little Sun now!? Reborn!SWJ def has a small breathing-into-a-paper-bag anixety attack. Afterwards though they feel a greater kinship, with their Luzhens and SWKs. After all, they feel "discarded" by the gods also.

[I am picturing Dasheng looking at either of the gods in question and going, "Oh look at that, the deadbeats are here. Have you brought the child support or do I have to boot you off my mountain again?"]

The idea of Dasheng looking the earth gods in the eye and calling them "deadbeats" is the most perfectly in-character thing for him ever. I love it.

[You know, I once read that we grow up to be the person our younger selves would have felt the safest with. Paraphrased a bit, but the idea is there. They are two different people, but, maybe he can help heal his inner child in this way.]

That is literally the most sweetest and heartbreaking thing. Smokey considers himself "broken", but Luzhen as "still good enough" to help. By being a good protector and influence, he secretly hopes to heal the scared child he once was. :']

Meanwhile, Netflix!SWK/Cherry is fighting any gods that dare threaten to take his mini-me away.

[how would SWK and/or LEM handle a child with cognitive disabilities - like serious ones at that?]

Honestly? Pretty ok. They know that people can be born "different" and have different hurdles to overcome. In the wild, macaques are known to pay extra attention to troop members with disabilities, and treat them kindly.

I hc MK as having adhd, which really affects his attention and short term memory, so Shadowpeach have been working with that for a long time. Wukong and Macaque themselves are very autistic-coded (which makes my autistic butt very happy), and would have a lot of insight to how the kid might be feeling.

If one of their kids has another serious cognitive impairment, like being non-verbal, they'll find a way to adapt to it. SWK 100% has learned both forms of CSL over the years, and does a refresher in prep for MK's arrival. Helps a lot when the more monkey-ish side of the kids means that they don't verbalize for a long time compared to human kids.

[one hell of a way to find out your parents/grandparents are still getting it on.]

MK had that crisis at age 19 when the Lunar Nodelets were on the way. Like when he found out it was at a high-stress moment so he barely had time ot process it; "We had just saved the world from the Lady Bone Demon and you two were...?! Ugh! I need to wash my brain out."

Nezha had a more firey reaction when he learned of the Eclipse Twins years prior. He didn't even know the monkeys did that stuff. He was uber-grossed out in an almost cooties sort of way, but also in a "please for the love of buddha, don't fill the celestial realm with your spawn"-kind of way.

Tysm for sending so many cool questions in! You really rock my create brain <3

As a go to for everything Cait, I thought you and other fans might enjoy this collection of various critics' review quotes about her wonderful Belfast performance. ❤️👏

- Though her entire performance is practically perfect, it’s in the “bus scene” where I just KNEW Caitríona Balfe was winning that Oscar.The number of shifting emotions she has to express in one unbroken shot is simply staggering, & she truly takes you on a journey with Ma.

Zoë Rose Bryant - Awards Editor

- Caitríona is “a true star.The woman can send three emotions flickering across her face at once, making the implausible seem more real than reality itself”. - Maeve Higgins

So while “Belfast” is, in one sense, a deeply personal coming-of-age tale, it’s also a more universal story of displacement and detachment, located most powerfully in Balfe’s fierce, shining performance. Her authenticity steadies the heartbeat of a film.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/11/movies/belfast-review.html?smid=tw-nytimesarts&smtyp=cur

Buddy’s mother, played strikingly by Caitriona Balfe.

https://www.indiependent.co.uk/belfast-kenneth-branaghs-impressive-tribute-to-his-roots-lff-review/

Balfe is the film's MVP.

https://www.bigpicturebigsound.com/Belfast.shtml

Caitriona Balfe is one of those actresses you see in the cast list and immediately get excited because of how she delivers over and over again. She displayed this in her small amount of screen time in Ford v Ferrari, as she absolutely stole the show as Mollie Miles, but her role as Ma is her best yet. Balfe carries the emotional weight of the entire film on her shoulders. We see her as the more reserved wife early on, but as her cubs become more and more in danger, the aggressive side of Ma comes forward. Balfe takes this on full steam and delivers. She shows the audience her love and compassion, but at the same time, the depths she will go to protect the ones she loves. One scene in particular rips your heart into a million pieces, she is THAT good.

https://musiccitydrivein.com/2021/11/09/belfast-review-branagh-delivers-in-the-heartwarming-tale-of-the-year/

Balfe is splendid.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/movies/2021/11/11/belfast-review-coming-age-film-makes-case-oscar-contender/6345745001/

Balfe’s Ma is a particular stand-out.

https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/belfast-movie-review.html/

Ms. Balfe’s gorgeous performance.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/belfast-kenneth-branagh-judi-dench-van-morrison-northern-ireland-the-troubles-11636671094

Balfe and Hill are tour de forces in the film and provide some of Belfast‘s most impactful, heartfelt moments. Balfe’s charm and charisma explode on the screen. Even in the film’s most difficult moments, Balfe evokes the spirit and determination of the family’s matriarch that may lead her to both an Oscar nomination and win.

https://www.reeltalkinc.com/belfast/

Caitríona Balfe is an absolute knockout here as Ma, who delivers such a nuanced and layered performance, and one that I could absolutely see getting nominated for an Academy Award.

https://cailloupettismoviereviews.com/movies/belfast-film-review/

Caitriona Balfe does the most complex, nuanced acting in the movie. - Zack Clopton

What helps break down the aforementioned walls is most assuredlythe strong performance of the ever-concerned and lovingly tough mom of Buddy and his brother, played by Caitriona Balfe. She delivers such passion throughout, and the camera is just so attracted to her magnetism, going long on her takes, capturing every bit of what she’s wearing on her face - stress and all. She’s as intense and real as a parent can be, but never mean or big about anything. There are figurative punches she throws, and sometimes it feels as though the hits are coming from those in front of the screen too. She acts for everyone, and like with her character’s family, she holds everything together.

https://www.billarceneaux.com/p/belfast

- "Balfe can change the course of a scene through just her eyes, moving from steely resolve to regretful heartbreak in one heartbreaking glance."

"The cast is excellent, especially Caitriona Balfe who deserves to be a bigger star than she is."

Even more stunning is Caitríona Balfe’s depiction of Buddy’s mother. Afforded the most difficult task by far, with scenes ranging from an emotional breakdown to dealing with mobsters and a hostage situation, Balfe more than delivers and is responsible for some of the film’s dramatic highlights.

https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2021/11/9/belfast-review/

I was really taken by Balfe’s nuanced, layered performance. That moment in the bus is likely going to be used as the clip for her Oscar campaign by the studio. She’s won acclaims in Outlander series, but she’s definitely ready for more prominent film roles.

https://flixchatter.net/2021/11/12/flixchatter-review-belfast-2021/

Balfe brings her best as Ma—fearless and afraid, broken and yet standing tall, playful and in love, there wasn’t a single emotion Balfe didn’t touch on masterfully. Ma would’ve been a compelling character through spoken word alone, but Balfe brought layers to her that were aspiring and a sight to see. A strong Oscar contender I will fight for.

https://marvelousgeeksmedia.com/2021/11/12/kenneth-branaghs-belfast-is-one-of-the-most-emotionally-compelling-films-of-the-year/

Caitriona Balfe is absolutely brilliant, effortlessly embracing the full range of her character - from despairing mother and wife to glamorous, dancing optimist.

https://www.belfastlive.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-opinion/belfast-review-masterpiece-one-two-22061617

Caitriona Balfe might be the Best Supporting Actress frontrunner for her showcase performance.

Balfe is marvelous in a role that requires her to run the emotional gamut – she’s fierce, funny, sexy, and heartbreaking.

https://theestablishingshot.org/2021/11/branaghs-belfast-is-a-triumph-of-artistry-and-universal-storytelling/

Caitríona Balfe is nothing short of astonishing in this role. You can't (and don't want to) take your eyes off her. She is transfixing.

https://www.edgemedianetwork.com/story.php?309985#.YY6XhuPVYSo.twitter

"The true standout is Caitríona Balfewho just has to go through so many emotions.I would be gobsmacked if Balfe doesn’t earn at least an Oscar nomination for her performance."

https://www.btlnews.com/film-reviews/theatrical/belfast-review/

- Decision monologue - EASILY my second favorite scene of hers, and I think that’s the one that seals the deal! (She’s also stellar when she’s yelling at the kids *in* the store - MAJOR tough mom energy Face with tears of joy).

- I love that we got to see how funny she is in this movie too. Her comedic timing is spot on (see: the quip about the "educational" Raquel Welch). - Zach Gilbert

Though Balfe has starred in notable titles like Super 8 and Ford v. Ferrari in the past, Belfast is easily her biggest (and best) film role to date, as she brings the magnanimous Ma to life in faultless fashion. Though Balfe is gifted two masterfully moving monologues by Branagh (her mid-movie exchange with Dornan about what Belfast has meant – and means – to her will floor audiences the world over), she’s just as stunning in the scenes where she isn’t speaking, relaying her raw resilience through only steely stares or effortful embraces – mindful mannerisms that will stick with crowds long after the credits roll. In anyone else’s hands, Ma could’ve been a stock stereotype, devoid of depth. With Balfe, she’s brimming with brilliant wit, warmth, and wonder - poignant performances.

https://www.loudandclearreviews.com/belfast-review-branagh-balfe-dornan/

Caitriona Balfe is both earthy and ethereal as Buddy’s mother. Her vibrant but teary eyes are often seen betraying so much feeling.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/film/belfast-review-kenneth-branagh-delivers-25212467

The performances are definitely the film’s strength, specifically Caitriona Balfe, who commands each scene she is in with brazen authority.

https://ilbishop7.medium.com/sliff-week-1-5718a460d54b

Balfe is — in a word — magnificent. — Peter Travers

https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/review-belfast-front-runner-best-oscar-picture/story?id=80913653&cid=social_twitter_abcn

Balfe, who was so good as Christian Bale’s wife in “Ford v. Ferrari,” is the glue that holds the family together. She makes you believe in her strength and anxiety both.

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/11/10/arts/belfast-when-black-and-white-is-rosy-colored/

Balfe steals every scene she is in. She is the beating heart of the film.

https://awesomefriday.ca/2021/10/viff-21-review-belfast/

Balfe was a powerful yet calming force who commanded every scene.

https://keithlovesmovies.com/2021/09/14/tiff-2021-belfast-review/

Caitríona Balfe the beautiful mother (who has no reservations about staying in Belfast) - Branagh shoots her with the supernatural elegance. Balfe is terrific — Branagh is wise to put the film’s most pivotal speech on her shoulders.

https://www.indiewire.com/2021/09/belfast-review-kenneth-branagh-1234662382/

Thanks for the message, Anon. Rather than thinking of my blog as a go to for everything Cait, I think of it as a go to for everything real.

Your list of Belfast (film) critic quotes is impressive. Thanks for sharing it with the class. 📝 Most of those reviews are on my blog. I was unable to find sources for the Zoë Rose Bryant, Zack Clopton, and Zach Gilbert quotes

Maeve Higgins’ quote, (Caitríona is) “a true star: the woman can send three emotions flickering across her face at once, making the implausible seem more real than reality itself” is about Caitríona’s performance in Outlander. The Guardian 5 April 2021

"Balfe can change the course of a scene through just her eyes, moving from steely resolve to regretful heartbreak in one heartbreaking glance” is by Dan Bayer. The Next Best Picture 16 September 2021

"The cast is also excellent, especially Caitriona Balfe who deserves to be a bigger star than she is” is by Steve Harcourt. NerdSpan 2021

I also enjoyed Caitríona’s Ma very much. I thought the entire cast was wonderful. Once I saw how well Ariana De Bose acted, sang, and danced in West Side Story, I understood how Jessie Buckley, Dame Judi, Kristen Stewart, Aunjanue Ellis — and Caitríona — applauded, rather than accepted, the Academy Award.

Remember… whatever happens, she'll still be Caitríona. — Anne Balfe
