    Your brand of humor and content in general could not have come at a better time, because everyone was either very serious or overly positive (both completely justified) but that just isnt my way of coping. The way you had these dramatic scandals with the villagers or long storys about egypt and your life and whatnot was such a good timeout in many ways, and I want to thank you for it :)
    The villager rating series is actually part of my list of comfort videos that I go back to regularly to drown out the world if I need to.
    I'm very sorry to hear about your loss and hardship this year, lets hope for a better 2021 without jinxing it,
    Lots of love ♡

      It was really sad when my uncle died and he never even got to eat the chocolate cake my mom made for him, but at least he is no longer in pain and gets to be at peace in the afterlife and I’m certain your relative is as well. Just hang in there ok?

    Hi Amanda, hearing you talk about your aunt really made me feel connected with you and I want you to know that you aren't alone in your grief. I've lost a cousin, two aunts, an uncle, my grandparents on my dad's side and my grandpa that I currently live with is declining rapidly in his health. The amount of grief I carry on a day to day basis is overwhelming. I want you to know it gets easier and thank you so much for opening up, I know how hard it is bottling it up because you don't have anyone that can relate. I know processing grief is hard, and one thing that helps me is writing letters to the ones I've lost. I save them in my journal and write to them whenever I feel like. Wishing you, your animals, and your family a safe, wonderful 2021. ❤

    Thank you so much for sharing the stories about your aunt, it’s so clear to see the affect she had on you and I’m so sorry that she passed. My grampa also passed this year so I thought I’d just share some funny little things about him for you Amanda (and all of you scrolling through the comments). He was 90 when he died so he lived through WW2, and he slept through a mf bomb going off. Let me repeat that. THIS MAN WASNT EVEN WOKEN UP BY AN EXPLOSION. He used to read to me when I was little and we’d both end up asleep, him in the rocking chair and me in the bed. He was also really good at scrabble and I was really good at chess and because we were both so stubborn, we refused to play those things together because the other person didn’t want to lose haha. Anyways I just thought it would be nice for you all to hear about some happy memories of my grampa, he was a very cool guy 💞

My favorite grandmother passed away on April 30th from Covid as well and it was so hard not being able to hold my father and cry together. It was a mission finding a funeral home that would let us have a service. I miss her so much. If it wasn't for ACNH I have no idea how I could've ever survived that pain.

    In 2020, I also lost my aunt. She was in her 40s and died very suddenly. She was an absolute light in this world - she was a teacher and worked with special needs kids. She was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known and she made me feel so loved. So I’m really sharing in your pain... I almost clicked away from the video when I heard you’d be talking about a loss because I knew it’d be painful, but I’m glad I realised it would be best to stay and listen to you.
    Thanks so much for sharing stories about your aunt... & I know I don’t actually know you, but I wanted to say that there’s a lot about your personality that reminds me of my aunt, and it makes me happy to know that there are more fun, loving, kind, and sincere people out there like her making the world a brighter place.🌞

    Ok Sherb's dialogue especially in this is really aligning with the whole murderer thing...
    I found him on a mystery island the other day and couldn't take him cause I wanted to keep my villagers safe lol
    Happy New Year, Amanda!
    Proud of you for all you've done. Hang in there 💙✨

    Thank you so much, Amanda. Last year was easily the worst time of my life but animal crossing was the one thing that kept me going and watching your videos has been such comfort since day 1 of this channel. The message at the end made me cry so hard you don't know how much I needed to hear those exact words. I feel like even though we don't know each other, we share such a beautiful connection and your channel is my safe space. Thank you for being you, this year we'll all be unstoppable!!

    I love to hear that creating videos have brought some joy to Amanda during this troublesome year. As a consistent viewer, Amanda's videos have brought joy to me as well. 2020 has fortunately not been as horrible as others. But of course as most years, it has had its fair share of hard times, most of my issues that arose in 2020 were mental issues. So when Amanda talks about her own mental issues and struggles in her videos it brings a sense of relatability, which has helped boost my mood on many occasions. Thank you for always being there for me even without knowing it and I hope 2021 proves itself to be better for everyone. I would also like to say sorry for your lost.

    thank you for opening up about your aunt Amanda ❤️ this year i lost my great grandma, she was 91. her health deteriorated so so fast and we really had no idea until it was too late. i live in New York with my parents and the rest of my family lives in connecticut, and it’s a 7 hour drive. there was just no way we’d get down in time so we had to say goodbye over the phone. after she passed i couldn’t go to the funeral because i would’ve had to quarantine and miss school days, which i really can’t do. but i wrote a letter to her and it was buried with her, and that brings me a lot of peace. it’s hard because i graduate this year and i always thought she would be there, and i would always gossip with her. but i know she’ll always be there watching ❤️

    I’m so sorry for your loss and watching your channel and listening to you has helped me with my loneliness during this time. I’m from Massachusetts too and I’m currently living in Texas. I miss my family and friends so much. I know it’s 3 months later, but I watched this video when it came out but didn’t comment then. Your video came up 3 months later and I felt really compelled to comment. Thank you for opening your heart to us and I wish your family health and healing this year.

  • @MellifluousPrism

    This video is so special - truly, it is. For you to have gone through what you have this year and still to be thankful to people for liking you - which, for what it’s worth, isn’t hard to do whatsoever in my opinion! - and for sticking with you and enjoying what you put out each week... you don’t owe anyone that gratitude but something about it was so hopeful in a way I can’t explain that means so much to me and I’m sure many others who’ve, for a whole variety of reasons, just had the year from hell, too. This is a very chaotic comment now but what I mean to say is thank YOU. We love you. 💖

    35:59-36:14 legit made me cry! Not only do I understand how it feels to feel that way, but the fact that you now feel welcomed and loved makes me just so warm and happy for you. You’re awesome, you’re funny, you’re sweet, you’re so caring, and like, personally I am so happy to have found your channel. You deserve not only the positivity that you’re getting, but so much more. I truly hope this year brings you nothing but the happiness you deserve!!

    Amanda, I don’t think you know how much I appreciate you and your videos. Your hilarious personality is everything, of course, but listening to all your stories and hearing you get vulnerable with us in your videos and q&a’s really makes me feel like I know you personally and that I am welcome in this lovely community. Whenever I’m feeling down, putting on one of your videos never fails to cheer me up no matter how many times I watch them. You’ve helped me so much over the past few months and I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel. I hope you have an amazing year, you’re the best! 💖💖💖

    I’m so sorry for your loss, I give you my condolences. I lost my grandmother back in October and it was the worst month of 2020 for me. It still has been difficult to process, but I must say that Animal Crossing has helped me cope so much and I’ll continue to enjoy the game as much as I can. 💕💕 and thank you for being a wholesome person, Amanda. Your AC content has made me laugh so much ever since I discovered you last spring ✨✨

    I wish I could say that I knew the family member we lost. But my boyfriend lost his grandmother over pretty much the beginning of lock down to just before Christmas due to cancer. He wpuld tell me about how bad she looked. How she was losing herself. How she was forgetting them thinking they passed away and blaming the staff for telling her that when they pleased with her that they weren't. How her eyes looked so lifeless in the end. And they saw her just before she passedAnd it sucked to see him leave the room over Skype because he was called out and then to come back pissed and more importantly sad. We both live with our parents but we're in different states that aren't that far apart but I have to take a buss and stay at least a week to be with him and his family too. Our main way to hang out with each other now is animal crossing. And I also have an 8 year old here so I can't just pack up and leave my home. So hang in there.

    I’m so sorry for your loss Amanda! I hope you and your family are coping as well as you can. You are so right about grief being the worst of the worst. I lost my best friend - who is also named Casey - a few years ago unexpectedly and it still sucks. I named my first AC island after her! Your channel quite literally makes my day & I binge watch your videos when I just need comfort background noise haha ❤️

  • @flochinieto7168

    I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. Loosing a family member is so difficult. My dad passed away a couple years ago and I didn’t talk about it because I didn’t feel ready. I was hurting a lot and felt so many regrets and so much nostalgia. It’s okay to wait to talk and I’m so proud of you for opening up about it. I still struggle to this day with his death and your videos ALWAYS make me hopeful and happy when I’m sad. Even though you feel helpless in this situation with your aunt, your helping me and so many more people. Everything will be alright.

    I lost my mom in 2020 so it’s sad, but I’m so glad I found Animal Crossing to help take my mind off the loss. I started playing Animal Crossing before she passed away but the community has been a godsend to distract from the dumpster fire that was 2020.

    Amanda, this year has been one of the hardest for me too, and honestly, no exaggeration, your channel, you just being you and listening to you talk about whatever you want is one of the things that kept me going. That being said, no pressure at all to create content - it's fun for us viewers when it's fun for you and that's that. I appreciate you so much and I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️
