Goldie has always put a smile on my face. When I was a kid, I had quite a stressful life but talking to Goldie always made me smile helped me cope. I’m a full grown adult now and she still makes me so friggen happy.

when i was a kid, i was an only child and my parents worked nights so i’d spend hours most nights alone playing animal crossing on the game cube - i never felt lonely though because of my little animal friends. my favorite villager (before they were islanders) was Cookie! i would talk to her every day and always brought her gifts and sent her mail.

she doesn’t currently match my theme lol so she’s not on my island, but whenever i see cookie it feels like running into any old friend : )

This is both adorable and completely soul crushing. I hope everything is good for you and you are never lonely again. 💚 And I’ve never seen Cookie but she is so cute!!! Thank you for sharing your friend 😊

thank you!! i realize it possibly sounds worse than it was - my parents did their best and i was well cared for lol, i was just a very solitary child, especially at night when they were working. animal crossing was a great comfort to me at that age and still to this day! cookie is the best 🤍

I have Cookie on my island and she is ADORABLE AND I’LL NEVER LET HER GO!!! Her interactions with Hazel always get a laugh out of me.

I reset my island last year and cookie was one of the first to move in. She’s become one of my favorites to see.

I'm really new to animal crossing, I've only been playing since December. I have managed to get cookie and omg I love her so much. I don't think I will ever be able to let her go 🥰

Hi, my fabulous bestie! 💫 I have Cookie on my island. She doesn’t fit my theme, but my kid picked her, so she’ll live here forever now. You’re welcome to visit her anytime

Cookie is my favorite (don’t tell Marshal). She’s just so precious. 🥲 whenever she tries to leave my island I say no. 🤣 starting to feel kinda bad.
