I feel the final panel with my whole soul
tbf, sex and drugs are awesome
It’s not that Tom Nook is a good person, or better than any other lender.
You just don’t notice as much when the economy is so busted you can afford a mortgage by selling shells you found on the beach.
Animal Crossing represents the dream of a society where labour is well compensated and you can meet all your financial needs with ample money left over.
Nook never charges interest and gives you infinite time to pay him back with no threat of foreclosure, that makes him better than any other mortgage lender in existence.
Fair point, I can’t argue there
My head canon is that there isn’t truly a capitalism on the island and that Tom Nook is doing all this to help you, the weird human who needs to accumulate value, to acclimate to the town. Ultimately, selling fruit just guarantees people around you have food and in return sometimes they give you stuff they find or make.
That makes sense. I mean, how suspicious would you be if he just gave you everything for free?
As soon as the humans find out you’re doing a communism or whatever, you risk “liberation” so… best just to play up the business aspects. 😭
Like the Paradise Matrix
Yes
Catch some trees and chop some bees!
Tom Nook gets the chop too sorry hun. Homeboy is a scummy businessman like the rest
Fruits, so plant sex
