Damnit, i'm doing that currently, i never knew it was common tbh, i just thought this went well with a mermaid style room, well i sort of snagged the idea from Diana.
It's about a boy who had a birthday coming up, so his mother made him cupcakes. But then the boy left home, and went off to live in a village with the animals. So sadly, the cupcakes the mother made never got eaten. Instead, they got stale. But his mother still writes him everyday.
The mayor has been gone for months now. Half the town has already left, including the shopkeepers. They're all off to another life now. I couldn't bring myself to leave yet. We've put so much into this town, and I can't just try to escape like it's nothing. However, today's the day. Daisy, Soleil, and I depart. The smallest moments were the most emotional. Seeing all the empty houses, the wilting trees, and the Tree being at its apex in height. I couldn't help but be brought to tears, taking one last glance at this village I've come to love. Mayor, why did you have to go? I'm writing this from a train to a new town. Thanks for everything. Sincerely, Isabelle
This makes me so sad. I deleted my old town because I despised it. I would visit other towns and see how creative and beautiful they were. Then I'd come home, and see the one that I would never be happy with. Isabelle's words when you ask to delete your town- I can't quite remember them, but at the time I hadn't paid much mind. I just needed a clean slate. But as I thought more and more about them, I grew so saddened. I wish I never deleted the town that taught me so much... I know they're just NPC's, but you grow so attached to the animals who live in the town you run.
This makes me think of a little kid who's having a birthday party, but nobody showed up. The cupcakes are stale because nobody is there to eat them. The kid has all kinds of new games and toys to play with and it's a beautiful day outside but all he wants to do is sit and cry.
It always made me think of a kid who died on his birthday, and his parents are so depressed that they don't clean up his would-have-been party decorations for weeks. Thus the cupcakes go stale.
This makes me think of the villager's mom. She's hoping we're doing okay in our new village. She writes to us all the time, bringing up old memories of when we were younger because she will never forget the little things about us. Sadly, you know we don't write back. So our mom is just hoping were doing okay. With all her love, she wishes you were still there with her. But we've grown up now, and she knows we gotta live our lives now on our own. She loves us so much.
Tbh the animal crossing mom is way better then my actual mom, animal crossing mom somehow feels more like a mom then my my mom does. Its kinda comforting knowing that even if my mom doesnt talk to me i at least have the animal crossing who goes out of her way 2 mail letters even without responce.
_First off: I'm not one to get real emotional..._ So I'm sitting there while the credits roll during the song, right? Watching K.K. sing, Dr. Shrunk awkwardly dancing out of beat in the background, my character slowly moving to the rhythm..... the last of the credits come up, and I decide to read it as it slowly scrolls up. *EXECUTIVE PRODUCER* *Satoru Iwata* I never knew the guy, never really cared about any of the names (grateful that they brought AC into existence) but just seeing his name, during _this_ song, knowing he's gone..... hits the gut pretty hard. The bell tolls for thee....
So, your best friend's birthday is finally here. You've been friends ever since you moved into her neighborhood as kids. She was the first person to be nice to the new kid on the block, and she doesn't know it, but you've always had a crush on her. This is the day you'll finally tell her. You wake up, excited. What a brave and glorious day! Using your own recipe, you bake a dozen delicious cupcakes. They are all for her, and your little sister even gets mad when you tell her she can't have any. Finally, after putting the last touch on your icing message, your heartfelt creation is complete. Electricity flowing through your spine, you march down the street to her house, only to find a few cop cars and an ambulance blocking the driveway. Confused, you ask a bystander what is going on. They tell you about the poor girl that overdosed on heroin the night before. Another bystander overhears and adds that "yeah I heard one of the officers say it was apparently her first time. And right before her birthday too. It's simply tragic. My heart goes out to the family. Did you know her?" Broken and shocked, you run home and call her. She doesn't answer her cell. You call her house, no answer. Just before you call her mother, her mother calls you. Her news hits you like a ton of bricks. An ex of hers came to her house the previous night to make amends and to wish her a happy birthday. He's in a body bag too. This wasn't supposed to happen. She doesn't do drugs. There has to have been some sort of mistake. If only you could give her one last message. Her funeral arrives. You brought her cupcakes. Everyone shoots you these passing glances that make you absolutely sick. They know how close you were. But they don't understand. They didn't know her like you did. You understood her. They won't say anything to you, and you don't know if you want them to or not. You arrive at the open casket. Your composure melts away as you thrust the now-stale cupcakes onto the casket. Sobbing hysterically, and muffled by your hands, all you can say is "I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you..." Stale Cupcakes by K.K. Slider
Christopher Tracey Morbid and semi-anticlimatic plot twist: The girl was indeed not the type to overdose. Quite frankly, when you think about it, she was the only person to taste the cupcakes; even sharing a piece with her ex, since she was so affectionate about them.
This song.... It honestly brings tears to my eyes. I don't know why, it's simply so beautiful and it was always the one playing in my house. I wish I could go back to the very first time I played animal crossing..
Dear son, It has been two years since you left. I'm still waiting by the mailbox every day, hoping that you are okay. Are you okay? We haven't heard from you since you left. Your father lost hope, but I keep dreaming. I have sent you a letter every day since you left, and I'm still waiting for a response. Son, I'm starting to lose hope. Please come home. Sincerely, Mom.
I'm so sorry for posting this, but I just had this lingering feeling about something. I never really had any friends in school that much. They all looked at me strangely. Like I was a disease. But one day, I met a young girl online called Heidi. We skyped, laughed, and had so much fun together. We had a mutual interest in this game, Animal Crossing. She planned to get City Folk for her birthday, but I just wanted to keep my copy of Wild World. Since it was her birthday soon, actually a day away, I decided to do something nice for her. I had found out that there bakers store close by, and Heidi had the same store near her. So, I decided to order a batch of cupcakes for Heidi, that same night. The lady said it was nice of me to do that, and I agreed with her. Before I went to sleep that night, I couldn't stop thinking about how happy Heidi would be when she found those cupcakes on her door. But it wasn't that easy. Today was her birthday, yet for some reason she hadn't been online skype at all. On my birthday, she never stopped calling me! But she might have been out, so I just shrugged it off. That afternoon, possibly around five, I received a call. It was from Heidi. I clicked instantly, wishing her a happy birthday - but I was interrupted by a low voice. It was Heidi's father. They told me things that Heidi said about me to them, saying that I was an amazing, funny girl who always made her have fun even in her darkest moments. And they truly thanked me for that. Little did I know that Heidi had been diagnosed with leukaemia a few months back, and had been instructed to never leave the house since - not even for school. She finally gave in to her disease, and died at 4:21 last night. I couldn't believe it. After all this time, she had been fighting cancer - and had never told me. I felt so sick that I could cry. But after she died, at possibly seven, the cupcakes were delivered. Her father read the label out loud to me, and I couldn't stop crying. I still remember exactly what it said. 'To the best friend ever in the whole wide world, I hope you have a really, really nice birthday today, and many other days to come! I hope you like these, I picked them out for you! Strawberry and Chocolate - your favourites! Sorry if I got them wrong! I'll see you soon, okay? Have a nice day!' I couldn't help sobbing. I was blind this whole time, I had finally had a friend...yet I was so excited that I didn't even realise that she was dying. If I could turn back time just to see her face so happy again, I'd die just to do it. Life isn't fair. It takes the people you love away from you when you think you'll have them forever. Life hurts you. Life cuts you. Life stings you. It's only a matter of time until life will take us all away.
+Ikoru Fable I'm so sorry for your loss. God bless you, and your friend. I'm gonna get a little bit outside of my comfort zone saying this, but those aren't just more empty words. I'm a Christian, and I truly believe that there is a God- and an afterlife. And when I say "God bless," I want you to know that I'm praying for you, and I believe my prayers are being heard by a kind and compassionate God. And while that may not be what you believe, I want to bless you with whatever I can do nonetheless. A loss like this is hard to overcome, but I want you to stay strong through this. I believe in you, and I'd be happy to be your friend :)
Man i forgot i left my cupcakes in my cupboard and now theyre all hard But im too lazy to throw them away so im still going to eat them Its the punchy way
My town's name is Jhoto. I have Punchy, Hazel, Antonio, Shari, Camofrog and I don't know who else and I play as Red, Link, Shadow and Phantom. I'm still working on the playground. My other town is Slender.
I've been playing game ever since it came out so I kind of know what to do in the game and I remember Bob from my Gamecube Animal Crossing game. I had Apollo on there and I want to find him on New Leaf really bad. Also I had a glitch the other day where Hazel went invisable
Here's a happier story... this is about a kid who had so much fun with his friends at the best birthday sleepover party ever. They ate lots of cake, junk food, and cupcakes, watched lots of cartoons, and eventually got so tired that they just fell asleep, the uneaten cupcakes ended up going stale because the mom made so many cupcakes for all his friends, this song plays when they fall asleep happily after a long fun-filled day. The kids fall asleep, and there's streamers, confetti, and lots of stale cupcakes lying around, and the mom comes to tuck them in and say goodnight. :]
@@cometaHavoc i forgot i even posted this comment but i remember listening to stale cupcakes vividly the year around i found out. i'm doing good and i'm sure his son is too :)
Birthdays are always some of your happiest memories. You have cupcakes for your party every year. They were your favorite. You remember all the fun times you had at the party with your friends, laughing and not having a care in the world. But that was then. This is now. You've grown up; you don't have parties like you used to. Even if you did, your friends have all moved away. You failed to keep in contact with them. Everything you remember that made you happy has passed. The cupcakes are stale. Your happiest memories are gone.
but it doesn't need to be like that, does it? you can buy new cupcakes. you can make new friends, new memories. throw new parties. you can reconnect with old friends. you can have it all back. it never needs to end.
I get anxious when lsitening to this song because it feels like it would play during the end of something important, just moments after it ends, the end of that thing occurs
Even though New Leaf was released only last year, I get a very nostalgic feel from the game. It was my first Animal Crossing game. I seem to remember many Summer nights my long distance girlfriend and I would visit each other's towns and lie in a bed together with this song playing in the background. I guess it was comforting that we could at least be together like that.
Deku I played the Wild World one first, and moved on to City Folk to New Leaf and honestly the games had become so good the quality gets better as you go from game to game. Like New Leaf to Happy Home Designer to Pocket Camp.
I need to cry every once in a while, and it relieves so much from me. I press play and find some of the saddest stories in the comments. Animal Crossing has its own memories, and the memories it created along the way with whoever you've met during that time, can trigger strong emotions. It makes me long for the friends I have, or the future I have, and to revive my spirit. All of that is accomplished through just crying, as silly as it may seem. A song is powerful, all it has to do is play, and your mind spins.
If I remember right the guy who made this song had his riceball go bad so it had to do with that. I might be wrong cause it's been a while since I heard someone talk about it.
This makes me think about my cousin, Zara. Zara was an amazing friend to me and I'd always beg to visit her and play with her. She made me happy and I still cry about it when I think about her death. She was such a fun friend, but one day she was walking with another person she met and was going to a park without an adult and got hit by a car. Sadly, the car killed her and she didn't survive. I was heartbroken after this event, my heart had been shattered into a million pieces. I listened to her favorite songs, but mostly "Stitches". Every time I hear about that event, or hear that song I end up crying. It was hard but I got to move on. I will never forget Zara. Rest in peace my beloved friend
This reminds me of when Middle school ended (Im on summer brake now.. Waiting for high school) I would always look at the stars when it got late since it provided me with a sense of company. My rabbit past away two months ago and now I always look at the stars since I figure thats where her soul would be. Since middle school ended, I also ended a few friendships. Which was for the best but now I only have maybe 2 friends at this point. Then they move. ANd I'm just sitting here waiting for someone to make me feel like I'm not so alone when I am.. And theer isn't any stopping this feeling..
This makes me think of someone close. Someone who would play this on the GameCube. Someone who I watched the rain with. Someone who left for college. Someone........who I loved.
Dear Mayor, Hello, Its been weeks since you left and if I'm honest, I miss you. I've tried my best to help the town, but they never heard me telling them that you moved. That ended up with many people sadly leaving, It's very quiet, and heartbreaking to see all the wilted flowers and vacant houses. I'm Currently in the train station, writing this. Hopefully, I'm coming to your town :) Enjoy, Isabelle.
If Animal Crossing were possible, I would stay with my freaking mom living the high life in the city. No more living off fruits, actual TV, computers that don't just display a single photo... MY OWN MOTHER BEING THERE.
looking at list of K.K. Slider songs "Stale Cupcakes" What kind of name is that? listens to it live That's actually pretty good! I want to know what the aircheck version sounds like, though. searches "animal crossing new leaf stale cupcakes" finds this It's from City Folk, but I guess it'll do. watches is internally crying
So, when I was little, my mom came home with City Folk, my first ever animal crossing game. In our town we had Tangy, Tom, Olivia, Rosie, Jay, Puck, Bettina, Bud, and Bob. My mom lived by Tom, and he soon became her favorite. My brother by Olivia, and me by Bob. To me, Bob was the perfect villager. He was purple, my favorite colour, and a cat, my favorite animal. And to top it off, he shared a name with my cat that I have had since I was only 3. i thought the cranky and snooty villagers were mean, which they kind of were. And the sporty and peppy villagers were just annoying. The normals were boring. But the lazy ones, they were perfect. They have always been so sweet and happy, the kind of friend you want so badly when you're little. Bob soon became my best friend and favorite animal crossing villager ever. My brother had recently discovered the time skipping ability. None of us knew how it worked. He fast forwarded two weeks into the future. The next morning when I logged on, I had a letter in the mail from Bob. He was gone. Bob, my best friend in the game, and real life, had left me forever. I was heartbroken. I refused to play the game for a full week. I would sit in my room, lost in my thoughts. It might have seemed like not a big deal, but I had a very hard time making friends when I was little. So I had just lost my only friend. My parents finally convinced me to play again. My mom's favorite villager, Tom, asked if he should move. I was angry, so I said yes. My brother's favorite, Olivia, asked to move the next day. I told her to go. My family was mad at me, but I didn't care. After a few years of not playing animal crossing, I decided to play new leaf. i played that game for years. I met my second favorite villager, Julian, and that almost made me forget about Bob. But I never did. He was still my favorite. But, no matter how long I spent on new leaf, I never found Bob. Other people were posting pictures with him on Reddit. It made me feel so sad that I couldn't have him. My mom found Tom, and he moved in to her town. Eventually, New horizons came out. I still love Bob, but I accepted that I would never see him again. Just a few days ago, I found Bob in my campsite. I was so happy. I spent 45 minutes playing games to convince him to move in. and he did. After so many long years, I finally have Bob, one of my best friends, in my town again. And I also have Julian, the unicorn that gave me back my love for animal crossing.
This makes me think of an odd story... A little girl was a lonely, but cheerful girl. She didn't really have decent parents, since they seemed to not care, but she was still happy. She loved cupcakes. She was obsessed with them. She was cheerful in her whole life until she growed up. She made it to the fifth grade, but she started to become more and more miserable. She was told by a bully to stop crying, so she did. And the tears growed into a ball. The ball growed cold and rotten. It growed into a subsatnce that looked like a stale cupcake. Nobody had ever tried to inform her about her future. She growed into college and wasn't really taking care of herself. In the weekend, she wrote a letter to her roommate saying to not be surprised about the dead body hanging from the ceiling. The little, cheerful, cupcake loving girl has killed herself.
I wasn't playing for a few days and Elmer moved away without me knowing until I played again. :( He left me his pic in a sad letter and now it's sitting in my pave room with blue tinted lighting and this song... so yeah that room is pretty depressing. xD
this track doesn't really make me sad; it does the opposite for me, actually... it reminds me of when AC:NL was still a new thing, when i used to listen to this a lot in the summer of 2013, and it brings back a lot of happy memories from that time. makes me smile - it gives me more lullaby vibes than, like, some kind of dirge.
You open your front door, and wince at the early morning sun. Your hair is messy and unkempt, and has been so for quite some time. The last time you woke up felt like a long lost dream. The letterbox to your right is overflowing with papers; the dates slowing to a halt at Agust third. You look around. It's summer. Something pings on your heart as you gaze across the path leading to your home, now partially overgrown by weeds and dandelions. It tuggs you out into the world, and though your legs ache, the worry in your mind is much too pressing. Feet stumble past rows of perfect fruit trees and hot springs and ladders of wisteria, all tangled in a mess of uncut grass and an air of loneliness. Eventually, you reach a tree. Not just any tree, the oak one you planted on the day of you becoming mayor. It's almost double the size of what you remembered, with a big, thick trunk and wide emerald leaves. You carry on; past re-tail, windows worryingly dimmed. Past patches of dirt that are all identical in size. Past that spot where you distinctly remember Isabelle falling into a pitfall trap. Everything was so familiar, so achingly memorable, yet so distant at the same time. Then, a building. A place you went to every day without fail. A place to check in and do your duties, have a chat with you goofball of a secretary and think about the day ahead. Your office. A firm press on the door sent it creaking inwards, a dormant layer of dust falling onto your head and making you cough. You step inside, the mustiness drowning your lungs. She wasn't there. The last hope you had, that one person you always relied on at the end of the day. She too was gone. You crumple to the floor, pain shooting through your knees. Tears formed, and fell from your eyes, leaving spots on your trousers. A rush of emptyness swept through you like a freight train. "How... How long was I gone..?"
"I miss you. I miss when you were still here. That was back when I was able to smile... and laugh. Because you taught me how to. But since you've been gone, I've forgotten. Nothing is the same anymore. The room we decorated with smiles and colors together... it's completely empty and bleak now, aside from a single plate of old cupcakes... the only thing I have to remember you by. I can still feel your warmth, but's it's slowly fading away. The cupcakes have gotten stale... the memories are drifting further each day..."
Does everybody truly find this so sad? I mean it's alright if you do, but to me this is just so sweet and peaceful. I almost fell asleep to it. To me this is being safe and warm under bedsheets and watching stars
GUYS I figured out why it's called Stale Cupcakes!! Scenario: You come home from a long, stressful day. You open the refrigerator to eat the last cupcake. But you look at the expiration date... *music plays*
I remember putting this on in the middle of the night and just bawling my eyes out. I’m unsure why I was actually crying, I just hold in my emotions and everything I was sad about that time just came pouring out.
This song is so beautiful. It's my favorite song from Animal Crossing. I personally found it before I even knew what Animal Crossing was and it almost moved me to tears. It makes me feel very sentimental and a bittersweet kind of sadness. I can't put into words how much I love this song.
the inspiration behind the song was a happy food that's no longer good to eat, and the comments are all about happy memories that are gone now. i see no issue.
i listened to this a lot when my grandmother got diagnosed with lung cancer back in 2013 and i was worried sick about her to the point where i couldn't sleep. luckily she is cancer free and doing very well these days, so now when i listen to this i think of how grateful i am for her to still be around. love you lots nana 💛
Reminds me of a friend who got cancelled on the internet and disappeared without a trace, I'm still waiting, hoping for her to return soon. I miss her.
So I recently created a NL town with Rodeo as one of the starters. When I first met him outside, I was more than a little intimidated by those red eyes on black fur. -(Man that sounded racist.)- But nonetheless, I do like to see new villagers' houses when I get the chance, so I went in... And let's just say I was _not_ expecting an observatory-like setting with this perfectly-fitting music playing in the background. I think we're going to be good friends. :D (Just in case you were wondering, yes, I was aware of this song beforehand.)
+Dinoyipi Rodeo was my first favourite villager along with goldie. He stayed in my town along with her all this time, it makes me want to go back and pull out my weed-infested town and completely give them a happy life until they come to my new leaf village.
The sun had set and the stars were out, you have a new journey to make. You remember leaving for a new life and your mother's kind words, you remember how you made so many new friends, how you helped them out of their own woes. But you're on a new journey now, and no-one can accompany you. How will your mother feel? Sitting under the stars all alone, her son never to return? Would the sky look different? You wished she could be here now, to whisper some kind words of comfort. But this journey is your own. so you step forward, away from the world you knew. And find a beautiful world. Just for you. You see all the others, who've made the journey before, and now you realize. You're home, and soon your Mother will join you. And everyone you knew. No, this journey isn't going to be so bad.
I used to play acnl so much. I have owned 4 copies in 5 years alone, i used to play with my cousin osvaldo. He lived sort of far from me so we only saw eachother in acnl usually, i could go to him but i dont get much time anyways. He and i would do so much on my town called Astroland. Osvaldo helped me go through all of my tantrums and was the only one who could get me to calm down. We were like peanut butter and jam, we mix perfectly even though we are so different. He would help me find ore, upgrade my town, water/grow plants, remodel, share bells, and just talk sonetimes, but then one day he didnt awnser my texts or calls, i was worried so i went to meet him in person. And when i got there. I was told that he is being treated in the hospital for a disease i forgot the name of. He was sick and its hard to recover from it. I visited him as much as i could and helped him when he was in need, then one day he messaged me if i wanted to play acnl with him. I hadn't played for 3 weeks worrying about him. So i said sure and he and i did the most excruciating work to make my town lovely. Then we had a party in my house, and this song was playing because osvaldo and i always loved soothing music, then he told me something i will never forget. "Astro.... never abandon this town, promise me you will either keep or sell it to another child, you could get the next big animal crossing game as you wish, dont ever abandon what makes you happy, i need to tell you something" and he said "todays my last day" i was crying and he was to (as i predict) and he and i shared our final moments here. Then he left and i just fell asleep crying. The next few days i was too depressed to do anything. But eventually i got over it. I will never forget you osvaldo. You were my best friend and i will always remember what you did for me.
I guess this is a good enough place to ramble. About two months ago, I lost my best friend, my dog Skye. She had cancer, we don’t really know. We put her to sleep at home, laying in my lap. She didn’t want to leave me. She didn’t pass until I told her I’d be okay. I don’t think she believed me, but I know she’s still lingering around me. Nighttime is always the hardest. I hate having to think about how much I miss her. I hate looking at the box with her ashes inside on my shelf. I wish she was still here. It’s hard, but I know I made the right decision. She was in pain, I wouldn’t keep her like that if I had the choice, which I did. We’d lost another dog not even a year before, either. I miss Daisy too, but she was my sister’s dog, not necessarily my dog. That’s not to say I didn’t love her, because I did, and I still do. Thanks to whoever decided to read this, I guess. It’s helped a bit writing it out, at least. Have a nice day/night, drink some water. Someone really cares about you.
Animal Crossing: City Folk was the first game I ever got addicted to and I got it from my dad and my oldest brother on Easter the year after my brothers and I recieved a Wii for Christmas. Listening to the tracks just bring me back a lot. I wish the time could go back for even just an hour so that I could experience the feeling of coming home from school and being excited to play my Wii one more time. Smelling the dinner cooking in the kitchen, my dad getting back from work, it was all good.
this makes me sad for some reason, so I'll just tell a sad but true story. when I was about 7, my mom decided that I was responsible enough to get a dog. we got two dogs - the one I picked, a longhaired chihuahua mix named jenni, and the one my mom picked, a german shepherd named max. I didn't really like max at first; he was old, I was a little scared of big dogs, and we were worried that he would hurt my cat, ashli. but max proved to be very gentle; he wouldn't hurt a fly. he even became the best of friends with ashli and jenni, and it wasn't uncommon to see the 3 of them napping together. despite his old age, max loved to play with me in the backyard. one of his favorite games was keep away. after about a year, max's arthritis got too bad and he couldn't play anymore. I was a bit sad, especially because jenni wasn't fond of playing, but max became my best friend, and I learned to love him. in november 2017, my cat ashli went missing. I was very sad, but I was still grateful that I had max and jenni by my side. they were sad too, and I remember them looking around for her. in january of the next year, I got my cat gloria. she hated max and jenni. that saddened me, but I knew there wasn't much I could do. time skip to april 20 2020. max had watched me grow from the 7 year old I was to the 13 year old I am now; he saw so many milestones of mine - my graduation from elementary school, becoming a teenager. max suddenly stopped eating, and became distant. a few days later, on the 23rd, I came home from my other house. my mom was really worried, but I thought max would be fine. this had happened before. at around 8pm, my mom was in the living room with max. his time was up, he taught me all that he could. he just fell asleep for the last time. I was watching danganronpa crack when my mom came in my room and told me. one minute, I was laughing my ass off, the next, my entire world was crumbling. my best friend of 6 years was gone. I cried so hard that my face tingled and I almost passed out. my sister, my brother, and their dad came over to provide comfort to my mom and I, but I didn't want it. I just stayed in my room and cried uncontrolably. after around an hour, I went into the living room. I sat on the couch with my sister. she had her switch, and I had mine too, so we played acnh. I made a little memorial for max, near canberra's house, purrl's house, and the museum, my favorite places, so I could always remember the dog I grew up with. I only had my game for 3 weeks, so my island was pretty undeveloped, but the memorial has never changed. I know max is in a better place, but I still miss him so much.
This island died when you left for another island once and for all. Bluebear left to become a pastry chef, Cranston moved out a long time ago, and so did Dizzy. All the shopkeepers left and there are cockroaches running around in your house. The island has become deserted and the flowers have withered. The last time I look at the picture Cousteau gave you, I'm leaving this island with Phoebe in tears. We are waiting for a flight to your island Your beloved Isabelle.
Stale Cupcakes is such a soothing tune. I love it so much. I believe I have the music box version in New Leaf. I feel like revisiting it, now that I've come across this song once more.
My sister was part of a critical accident and is in a coma in hospital. Gradually getting better. I’m crying writing this but anybody going through this, be strong, everything will get better. My sister is getting better and I am getting stronger. Love you Sunni 😭😭😭❤️
This song has such a calm, yet sad feel to it. The emotion still shines through its simplicity. It's as if remembering a fallen friend or family member and all the times that were spent with them, all while sitting in a quiet field.

This makes me think of some friends I had. They really hated me, and I was stressed at school, so my Mom moved me to a different one. I was devastated, and kind of an emotional wreck the beginning of this summer. I'd just start randomly crying, because I'd just suddenly think of them. I'd think of how they forgot my birthday, or how they never talked to me, or if they even missed me. I eventually got angry at one of them, because she sorta stole my other friend from me, and I just wanted to yell at her, and tell her I'd been reduced to talking to walls and videogame characters, and tell her how insane I felt during quarantine because she and my other friend didn't ever talk to me on Zoom or call or whatever, and yeah, I was talking to walls and getting angry over the littlest things. But eventually, I got over it, and was excited about going to a new school with my only real friend. But then my mom said we couldn't afford the tuition fee for the new school, so I have to go back to my old one. I'm absolutely terrified about going back to my friends. Well, I dunno what else to call them. And today, my Grandma died. I just wanna talk to my friends again, my only other friend is always busy. Today I just broke down and started blubbering nonsense about my siblings picking on me and my friends and my Grandma and I'm just so upset, dhehjsjbdb. Sorry. Anyways, on the slim chance my friends are reading this, I'd like to say: I miss you. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Oh man. That's a LONG comment, sorry! 😅
We all remember that first night staying up till 2AM playing animal crossing...my first AC game was the original on GameCube- to this day it is still one of my earliest memories. I must have been 4 or 5 years old....sitting there in my living room with the lights off. Only our comically large CRT TV illuminating the room. I'll always remember the good ol days.
My sister was a animal crossing player. J didn't play much but every time I did get on I always had a full mailbox of letters with presents. This song was playing in her house. I miss getting the letters. But at least I know shes in a better place... R.I.P. Ronnie Marie
soo this can't bad, right? *looks at comment and sees all sad comments* god... *listens* and then me w h y i n the w0lrd @m ! Crying *slowly cries with tears

A.K.A that one song everybody plays in their pastel colored room.
IndigoedMonster I'm thinking about making a graveyard room for all the villagers who have moved out with this song playing in the room lol
jamebonez funny coincidence, I have a room with the pictures of villagers that have left and I have this song as a music box playing in the room :v
does this apply to my mermaid room ? my ice room ? 🤔
Well, not the ice room. But the mermaid furniture is a "yes". I've seen quite a lot of them in dream towns.
Damnit, i'm doing that currently, i never knew it was common tbh, i just thought this went well with a mermaid style room, well i sort of snagged the idea from Diana.
if anybody wants to make this their town tune, the notes are:
G D A G B A D -
G D A G B A D -
Thanks Mettaton
Musiclet here - can you clarify where applicable whether it's the higher/lower of the notes? Can't quite get it to sound right....
@@TheMineralRecord All of the notes are on the higher octave except the first D. Here is a picture incase you need it: imgur.com/a/sRVJp27
I think this is better

It's about a boy who had a birthday coming up, so his mother made him cupcakes. But then the boy left home, and went off to live in a village with the animals. So sadly, the cupcakes the mother made never got eaten. Instead, they got stale. But his mother still writes him everyday.
That makes Animal Crossing 10× Better and 100× Sadder.
voyan38 and thats why i get my mum letters from pete?
This makes perfect sense though? Because of the mother and father that write to your character occasionally?! OH MY GOD.
voyan38 reading this three months later and this comment made me cry fUck
voyan38 Awww...
The mayor has been gone for months now. Half the town has already left, including the shopkeepers. They're all off to another life now. I couldn't bring myself to leave yet. We've put so much into this town, and I can't just try to escape like it's nothing. However, today's the day. Daisy, Soleil, and I depart. The smallest moments were the most emotional. Seeing all the empty houses, the wilting trees, and the Tree being at its apex in height. I couldn't help but be brought to tears, taking one last glance at this village I've come to love. Mayor, why did you have to go?
I'm writing this from a train to a new town. Thanks for everything.
Sincerely,
Isabelle
+Faith Adams NOW YOUVE REMINDED ME OF MY TOWN THAT IVE ABANDONED SINCE LAST SUMMER JESUS CHRIST
+Abby B fuck dude im not one to cry over video games but that hit me hard
This makes me so sad. I deleted my old town because I despised it. I would visit other towns and see how creative and beautiful they were. Then I'd come home, and see the one that I would never be happy with. Isabelle's words when you ask to delete your town- I can't quite remember them, but at the time I hadn't paid much mind. I just needed a clean slate. But as I thought more and more about them, I grew so saddened. I wish I never deleted the town that taught me so much... I know they're just NPC's, but you grow so attached to the animals who live in the town you run.
+Abby B I'M SO SORRY, I LEFT TO JOIN SMASH BROS
+Abby B I just totally killed the mood
This makes me think of a little kid who's having a birthday party, but nobody showed up. The cupcakes are stale because nobody is there to eat them. The kid has all kinds of new games and toys to play with and it's a beautiful day outside but all he wants to do is sit and cry.
orrrrrrr
Well, this song didn't make me sad at one point, but NOW...
D:
It always made me think of a kid who died on his birthday, and his parents are so depressed that they don't clean up his would-have-been party decorations for weeks. Thus the cupcakes go stale.
I listen to this song and think about what has happened in my life. It did make me vry once. But its a very weird sensational song
This makes me think of the villager's mom. She's hoping we're doing okay in our new village. She writes to us all the time, bringing up old memories of when we were younger because she will never forget the little things about us. Sadly, you know we don't write back. So our mom is just hoping were doing okay. With all her love, she wishes you were still there with her. But we've grown up now, and she knows we gotta live our lives now on our own. She loves us so much.
Tbh the animal crossing mom is way better then my actual mom, animal crossing mom somehow feels more like a mom then my my mom does. Its kinda comforting knowing that even if my mom doesnt talk to me i at least have the animal crossing who goes out of her way 2 mail letters even without responce.
_First off: I'm not one to get real emotional..._
So I'm sitting there while the credits roll during the song, right?
Watching K.K. sing, Dr. Shrunk awkwardly dancing out of beat in the background, my character slowly moving to the rhythm.....
the last of the credits come up, and I decide to read it as it slowly scrolls up.
*EXECUTIVE PRODUCER*
*Satoru Iwata*
I never knew the guy, never really cared about any of the names (grateful that they brought AC into existence) but just seeing his name, during _this_ song, knowing he's gone..... hits the gut pretty hard.
The bell tolls for thee....
***** yeah.
yay sadness everywhere
every time I see satoru iwata's name appear I remember when I was obsessed with him and how he's gone now
zachanikwano wait did Iwata die?
Around a year ago, yes.
I've still got Iwata's gold pants Mii from my Streetpass plaza and I've had him there for years.. Since he was still alive..
Ho does dr shrunk manage to dance to this
How* goddamnit

So, your best friend's birthday is finally here. You've been friends ever since you moved into her neighborhood as kids. She was the first person to be nice to the new kid on the block, and she doesn't know it, but you've always had a crush on her. This is the day you'll finally tell her. You wake up, excited. What a brave and glorious day! Using your own recipe, you bake a dozen delicious cupcakes. They are all for her, and your little sister even gets mad when you tell her she can't have any. Finally, after putting the last touch on your icing message, your heartfelt creation is complete. Electricity flowing through your spine, you march down the street to her house, only to find a few cop cars and an ambulance blocking the driveway. Confused, you ask a bystander what is going on. They tell you about the poor girl that overdosed on heroin the night before. Another bystander overhears and adds that "yeah I heard one of the officers say it was apparently her first time. And right before her birthday too. It's simply tragic. My heart goes out to the family. Did you know her?" Broken and shocked, you run home and call her. She doesn't answer her cell. You call her house, no answer. Just before you call her mother, her mother calls you. Her news hits you like a ton of bricks. An ex of hers came to her house the previous night to make amends and to wish her a happy birthday. He's in a body bag too. This wasn't supposed to happen. She doesn't do drugs. There has to have been some sort of mistake. If only you could give her one last message.
Her funeral arrives. You brought her cupcakes. Everyone shoots you these passing glances that make you absolutely sick. They know how close you were. But they don't understand. They didn't know her like you did. You understood her. They won't say anything to you, and you don't know if you want them to or not. You arrive at the open casket. Your composure melts away as you thrust the now-stale cupcakes onto the casket. Sobbing hysterically, and muffled by your hands, all you can say is "I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you..."
Stale Cupcakes by K.K. Slider
Omg! I'm crying now! I'll never thing of this song the same way!
Christopher Tracey w h o g a v e y o u t h e p e r m i s s i o n
Christopher Tracey Morbid and semi-anticlimatic plot twist: The girl was indeed not the type to overdose. Quite frankly, when you think about it, she was the only person to taste the cupcakes; even sharing a piece with her ex, since she was so affectionate about them.
Christopher Tracey Beautiful...
+Christopher Tracey *i can't even anymore*
This song.... It honestly brings tears to my eyes.
I don't know why, it's simply so beautiful and it was always the one playing in my house.
I wish I could go back to the very first time I played animal crossing..
awww
Jennythesailorscout moon
It sounds nostalgic.
Jennifer Elsie Ah yes! I always have this one playing in my home, have you tried making it into music box? It's beautiful honestly
*hugs you* sorry you just seem like you need that
same. i used to play with my mom to acnl but oh well, now we can't...
Dear son,
It has been two years since you left. I'm still waiting by the mailbox every day, hoping that you are okay. Are you okay? We haven't heard from you since you left. Your father lost hope, but I keep dreaming.
I have sent you a letter every day since you left, and I'm still waiting for a response.
Son, I'm starting to lose hope. Please come home.
Sincerely,
Mom.
Orange Yoshi Shit, that's really depressing.. T-T
Sad.
Orange Yoshi Fuck you, man.
;-; that's deep, man
Orange Yoshi oh
I'm so sorry for posting this, but I just had this lingering feeling about something.
I never really had any friends in school that much. They all looked at me strangely. Like I was a disease. But one day, I met a young girl online called Heidi.
We skyped, laughed, and had so much fun together. We had a mutual interest in this game, Animal Crossing. She planned to get City Folk for her birthday, but I just wanted to keep my copy of Wild World.
Since it was her birthday soon, actually a day away, I decided to do something nice for her. I had found out that there bakers store close by, and Heidi had the same store near her. So, I decided to order a batch of cupcakes for Heidi, that same night.
The lady said it was nice of me to do that, and I agreed with her. Before I went to sleep that night, I couldn't stop thinking about how happy Heidi would be when she found those cupcakes on her door.
But it wasn't that easy.
Today was her birthday, yet for some reason she hadn't been online skype at all. On my birthday, she never stopped calling me! But she might have been out, so I just shrugged it off.
That afternoon, possibly around five, I received a call. It was from Heidi. I clicked instantly, wishing her a happy birthday - but I was interrupted by a low voice. It was Heidi's father.
They told me things that Heidi said about me to them, saying that I was an amazing, funny girl who always made her have fun even in her darkest moments. And they truly thanked me for that.
Little did I know that Heidi had been diagnosed with leukaemia a few months back, and had been instructed to never leave the house since - not even for school.
She finally gave in to her disease, and died at 4:21 last night. I couldn't believe it. After all this time, she had been fighting cancer - and had never told me. I felt so sick that I could cry.
But after she died, at possibly seven, the cupcakes were delivered. Her father read the label out loud to me, and I couldn't stop crying.
I still remember exactly what it said.
'To the best friend ever in the whole wide world,
I hope you have a really, really nice birthday today, and many other days to come!
I hope you like these, I picked them out for you! Strawberry and Chocolate - your favourites! Sorry if I got them wrong!
I'll see you soon, okay?
Have a nice day!'
I couldn't help sobbing. I was blind this whole time, I had finally had a friend...yet I was so excited that I didn't even realise that she was dying.
If I could turn back time just to see her face so happy again, I'd die just to do it.
Life isn't fair. It takes the people you love away from you when you think you'll have them forever. Life hurts you. Life cuts you. Life stings you. It's only a matter of time until life will take us all away.
Thats...somehow strange
That... that made me cry... I'm so sorry...
+Ikoru Fable I'm so sorry for your loss. God bless you, and your friend. I'm gonna get a little bit outside of my comfort zone saying this, but those aren't just more empty words. I'm a Christian, and I truly believe that there is a God- and an afterlife. And when I say "God bless," I want you to know that I'm praying for you, and I believe my prayers are being heard by a kind and compassionate God. And while that may not be what you believe, I want to bless you with whatever I can do nonetheless. A loss like this is hard to overcome, but I want you to stay strong through this. I believe in you, and I'd be happy to be your friend :)
So she was busy doing stuff for her birthday and not online so what?
yes, i think you missed the part where she passed away from leukemia.
Man i forgot i left my cupcakes in my cupboard and now theyre all hard
But im too lazy to throw them away so im still going to eat them
Its the punchy way
Punchy my good buddy. :D
***** oh man, sorry to hear about that.
***** aww I hope they come back to you. Have a nice week though.
My town's name is Jhoto. I have Punchy, Hazel, Antonio, Shari, Camofrog and I don't know who else and I play as Red, Link, Shadow and Phantom. I'm still working on the playground. My other town is Slender.
I've been playing game ever since it came out so I kind of know what to do in the game and I remember Bob from my Gamecube Animal Crossing game. I had Apollo on there and I want to find him on New Leaf really bad. Also I had a glitch the other day where Hazel went invisable
Here's a happier story... this is about a kid who had so much fun with his friends at the best birthday sleepover party ever. They ate lots of cake, junk food, and cupcakes, watched lots of cartoons, and eventually got so tired that they just fell asleep, the uneaten cupcakes ended up going stale because the mom made so many cupcakes for all his friends, this song plays when they fall asleep happily after a long fun-filled day. The kids fall asleep, and there's streamers, confetti, and lots of stale cupcakes lying around, and the mom comes to tuck them in and say goodnight. :]
listening to this on the day my cousin died of cancer.
it's heartrending, he was a great guy.
sorry you had to go Joey.
im so sorry for your loss :c
That’s really sad :(
Heartstrings? Tugged.
I share your sadness. I havent experienced something like this but i feel bad for your loss still :c.
@@cometaHavoc i forgot i even posted this comment but i remember listening to stale cupcakes vividly the year around i found out. i'm doing good and i'm sure his son is too :)
"see you guys then"- chuggaconroy
@Faith // time flies and slips away from us at such a high speed.
@a m b e r Damn
THIS IS THE COMMENT THAT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY.
THIS ONE.
OF ALL COMMENTS.
@Faith my favourite quote is "YOU'RE WISHING DEATH ON MEEE!!??
Well, this hits harder but not in a good way for the rest of you...
Birthdays are always some of your happiest memories. You have cupcakes for your party every year. They were your favorite.
You remember all the fun times you had at the party with your friends, laughing and not having a care in the world.
But that was then. This is now. You've grown up; you don't have parties like you used to. Even if you did, your friends have all moved away. You failed to keep in contact with them. Everything you remember that made you happy has passed.
The cupcakes are stale. Your happiest memories are gone.
but it doesn't need to be like that, does it? you can buy new cupcakes. you can make new friends, new memories. throw new parties. you can reconnect with old friends. you can have it all back. it never needs to end.
Ace Adams thank you for this uplifting addition to the original post. Both comments made me tear up.
then you make yourself go bye-bye permanently
the end
I turned 18 a few months ago and this comment actually fucking crushed me...
i dont have birthdays lol
I have high anxiety, and I listen to this song to calm myself down.
Echo I do too... do you ever get quick breathing..?
Same, but I listen to Cool Cave from Kirby's Epic Yarn instead.
Same I get bad panic attacks this song taxi can by TOP and hey Jude by the Beatles helps me calm down ⭐️🌸☁️
I’m glad to hear that Kano
I get anxious when lsitening to this song because it feels like it would play during the end of something important, just moments after it ends, the end of that thing occurs
why are you guys telling all these sad stories this is such a cute song wth ;-;
ikr
animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Stale_Cupcakes
Mood: A little blue...
Cuz it’s stale cupcakes
Staleee
It's because the song gives a sad nostalgic vibe.
Even though New Leaf was released only last year, I get a very nostalgic feel from the game. It was my first Animal Crossing game. I seem to remember many Summer nights my long distance girlfriend and I would visit each other's towns and lie in a bed together with this song playing in the background. I guess it was comforting that we could at least be together like that.
Omg, I feel exactly the same way
Your icon though. XD
Deku I played the Wild World one first, and moved on to City Folk to New Leaf and honestly the games had become so good the quality gets better as you go from game to game. Like New Leaf to Happy Home Designer to Pocket Camp.
Potato Crossing yup 🥺🥺 new horizons raises the bar even higher
@@maia9471 new leaf is still superior
I need to cry every once in a while, and it relieves so much from me. I press play and find some of the saddest stories in the comments. Animal Crossing has its own memories, and the memories it created along the way with whoever you've met during that time, can trigger strong emotions. It makes me long for the friends I have, or the future I have, and to revive my spirit. All of that is accomplished through just crying, as silly as it may seem. A song is powerful, all it has to do is play, and your mind spins.
Japanese name is Blue Riceball (ブルーおにぎり). Weird name indeed, but calming.
Ah yes, blue riceballs, my favorite snacks
If I remember right the guy who made this song had his riceball go bad so it had to do with that. I might be wrong cause it's been a while since I heard someone talk about it.
Blue jelly filled donuts
@@bellinibaby1925 imagine writing such a sad yet beautiful song and someone asks you why you wrote it and you just go "my rice ball went bad :("
This song makes me feel like crying in a good way.
Let this be Iwata-san's lullaby into his eternal slumber.
This makes me think about my cousin, Zara. Zara was an amazing friend to me and I'd always beg to visit her and play with her. She made me happy and I still cry about it when I think about her death. She was such a fun friend, but one day she was walking with another person she met and was going to a park without an adult and got hit by a car. Sadly, the car killed her and she didn't survive. I was heartbroken after this event, my heart had been shattered into a million pieces. I listened to her favorite songs, but mostly "Stitches". Every time I hear about that event, or hear that song I end up crying. It was hard but I got to move on. I will never forget Zara. Rest in peace my beloved friend
Rip Zara
This reminds me of when Middle school ended (Im on summer brake now.. Waiting for high school)
I would always look at the stars when it got late since it provided me with a sense of company. My rabbit past away two months ago and now I always look at the stars since I figure thats where her soul would be. Since middle school ended, I also ended a few friendships. Which was for the best but now I only have maybe 2 friends at this point. Then they move. ANd I'm just sitting here waiting for someone to make me feel like I'm not so alone when I am.. And theer isn't any stopping this feeling..
IronyTheBear Rest In Peace rabbit 🐰😊
Hey, it's been 4 years, you're almost graduated if you havent yet. I hope things are well
This makes me think of someone close. Someone who would play this on the GameCube. Someone who I watched the rain with. Someone who left for college. Someone........who I loved.
Dear Mayor,
Hello,
Its been weeks since you left and if I'm honest, I miss you.
I've tried my best to help the town, but they never heard me telling them that you moved. That ended up with many people sadly leaving, It's very quiet, and heartbreaking to see all the wilted flowers and vacant houses.
I'm Currently in the train station, writing this.
Hopefully, I'm coming to your town :)
Enjoy,
Isabelle.
If Animal Crossing were possible, I would stay with my freaking mom living the high life in the city. No more living off fruits, actual TV, computers that don't just display a single photo... MY OWN MOTHER BEING THERE.

"Stale Cupcakes"
What kind of name is that?
listens to it live
That's actually pretty good! I want to know what the aircheck version sounds like, though.

It's from City Folk, but I guess it'll do.

is internally crying
So, when I was little, my mom came home with City Folk, my first ever animal crossing game. In our town we had Tangy, Tom, Olivia, Rosie, Jay, Puck, Bettina, Bud, and Bob. My mom lived by Tom, and he soon became her favorite. My brother by Olivia, and me by Bob. To me, Bob was the perfect villager. He was purple, my favorite colour, and a cat, my favorite animal. And to top it off, he shared a name with my cat that I have had since I was only 3.
i thought the cranky and snooty villagers were mean, which they kind of were. And the sporty and peppy villagers were just annoying. The normals were boring. But the lazy ones, they were perfect. They have always been so sweet and happy, the kind of friend you want so badly when you're little. Bob soon became my best friend and favorite animal crossing villager ever. My brother had recently discovered the time skipping ability. None of us knew how it worked. He fast forwarded two weeks into the future. The next morning when I logged on, I had a letter in the mail from Bob. He was gone. Bob, my best friend in the game, and real life, had left me forever. I was heartbroken. I refused to play the game for a full week. I would sit in my room, lost in my thoughts. It might have seemed like not a big deal, but I had a very hard time making friends when I was little. So I had just lost my only friend.
My parents finally convinced me to play again. My mom's favorite villager, Tom, asked if he should move. I was angry, so I said yes. My brother's favorite, Olivia, asked to move the next day. I told her to go. My family was mad at me, but I didn't care. After a few years of not playing animal crossing, I decided to play new leaf. i played that game for years. I met my second favorite villager, Julian, and that almost made me forget about Bob. But I never did. He was still my favorite. But, no matter how long I spent on new leaf, I never found Bob. Other people were posting pictures with him on Reddit. It made me feel so sad that I couldn't have him. My mom found Tom, and he moved in to her town. Eventually, New horizons came out. I still love Bob, but I accepted that I would never see him again.
Just a few days ago, I found Bob in my campsite. I was so happy. I spent 45 minutes playing games to convince him to move in. and he did. After so many long years, I finally have Bob, one of my best friends, in my town again. And I also have Julian, the unicorn that gave me back my love for animal crossing.
Great story
This made me cry
good for you at the end :)
This makes me think of an odd story...
A little girl was a lonely, but cheerful girl. She didn't really have decent parents, since they seemed to not care, but she was still happy. She loved cupcakes. She was obsessed with them. She was cheerful in her whole life until she growed up. She made it to the fifth grade, but she started to become more and more miserable. She was told by a bully to stop crying, so she did. And the tears growed into a ball. The ball growed cold and rotten. It growed into a subsatnce that looked like a stale cupcake. Nobody had ever tried to inform her about her future. She growed into college and wasn't really taking care of herself. In the weekend, she wrote a letter to her roommate saying to not be surprised about the dead body hanging from the ceiling. The little, cheerful, cupcake loving girl has killed herself.
:(
Holy lord
Good Story. What's her name?
Who needs K. K. Lullaby when we have this??? This is so much better... 😍😴
I wasn't playing for a few days and Elmer moved away without me knowing until I played again. :(
He left me his pic in a sad letter and now it's sitting in my pave room with blue tinted lighting and this song... so yeah that room is pretty depressing. xD
Tell him I miss him. :'(
Lol
James Sunderland I have Elmer, he's one of my best buddies!
this track doesn't really make me sad; it does the opposite for me, actually... it reminds me of when AC:NL was still a new thing, when i used to listen to this a lot in the summer of 2013, and it brings back a lot of happy memories from that time. makes me smile - it gives me more lullaby vibes than, like, some kind of dirge.
You open your front door, and wince at the early morning sun. Your hair is messy and unkempt, and has been so for quite some time. The last time you woke up felt like a long lost dream.
The letterbox to your right is overflowing with papers; the dates slowing to a halt at Agust third. You look around. It's summer.
Something pings on your heart as you gaze across the path leading to your home, now partially overgrown by weeds and dandelions. It tuggs you out into the world, and though your legs ache, the worry in your mind is much too pressing. Feet stumble past rows of perfect fruit trees and hot springs and ladders of wisteria, all tangled in a mess of uncut grass and an air of loneliness. Eventually, you reach a tree. Not just any tree, the oak one you planted on the day of you becoming mayor. It's almost double the size of what you remembered, with a big, thick trunk and wide emerald leaves.
You carry on; past re-tail, windows worryingly dimmed. Past patches of dirt that are all identical in size. Past that spot where you distinctly remember Isabelle falling into a pitfall trap. Everything was so familiar, so achingly memorable, yet so distant at the same time.
Then, a building. A place you went to every day without fail. A place to check in and do your duties, have a chat with you goofball of a secretary and think about the day ahead.
Your office.
A firm press on the door sent it creaking inwards, a dormant layer of dust falling onto your head and making you cough. You step inside, the mustiness drowning your lungs. She wasn't there. The last hope you had, that one person you always relied on at the end of the day. She too was gone.
You crumple to the floor, pain shooting through your knees. Tears formed, and fell from your eyes, leaving spots on your trousers. A rush of emptyness swept through you like a freight train.
"How... How long was I gone..?"
This hurt my heart. It really did.
"I miss you. I miss when you were still here. That was back when I was able to smile... and laugh. Because you taught me how to. But since you've been gone, I've forgotten. Nothing is the same anymore. The room we decorated with smiles and colors together... it's completely empty and bleak now, aside from a single plate of old cupcakes... the only thing I have to remember you by. I can still feel your warmth, but's it's slowly fading away. The cupcakes have gotten stale... the memories are drifting further each day..."
MY HEART
Does everybody truly find this so sad? I mean it's alright if you do, but to me this is just so sweet and peaceful. I almost fell asleep to it.
To me this is being safe and warm under bedsheets and watching stars
After watching Chuggaa this is the official "Goodbye Molly" theme
Listening to this whist napping is just perfect...

Scenario: You come home from a long, stressful day. You open the refrigerator to eat the last cupcake. But you look at the expiration date...
*music plays*
Black Kat seems legit...
BlackKat who puts cupcakes in the refrigerator
As if that'd stop me
Can we get a RIP in the chat?
ok ill give you a like for that
We're all gonna miss Molly very much. She made Chuggaa's town a great town to live in, and it's sad that she's leaving.
Have a safe move Molly
Never fails to make me cry, i always get a very nostalgic feeling from this song, like when I first started playing wild world when I was little
I remember putting this on in the middle of the night and just bawling my eyes out. I’m unsure why I was actually crying, I just hold in my emotions and everything I was sad about that time just came pouring out.
This song is so beautiful. It's my favorite song from Animal Crossing. I personally found it before I even knew what Animal Crossing was and it almost moved me to tears. It makes me feel very sentimental and a bittersweet kind of sadness. I can't put into words how much I love this song.
May Iwata have this played as he goes to heaven.
Also, Julian!
Why is everyone writing tearjerker stories in the comments? This sounds like a child's lullaby.
Because the song on its own is sad. If you look at the Animal Crossing wiki, the mood is marked as; "A little blue...".
the inspiration behind the song was a happy food that's no longer good to eat, and the comments are all about happy memories that are gone now. i see no issue.
i listened to this a lot when my grandmother got diagnosed with lung cancer back in 2013 and i was worried sick about her to the point where i couldn't sleep. luckily she is cancer free and doing very well these days, so now when i listen to this i think of how grateful i am for her to still be around. love you lots nana 💛
Reminds me of a friend who got cancelled on the internet and disappeared without a trace,
I'm still waiting, hoping for her to return soon.
I miss her.
I hope she turns up for you soon
What was her name
why's everyone so depressing...
i think of a babies/young animals napping and people getting all cozy before drifting to sleep
Ikr?
So I recently created a NL town with Rodeo as one of the starters. When I first met him outside, I was more than a little intimidated by those red eyes on black fur. -(Man that sounded racist.)- But nonetheless, I do like to see new villagers' houses when I get the chance, so I went in... And let's just say I was _not_ expecting an observatory-like setting with this perfectly-fitting music playing in the background.
I think we're going to be good friends. :D
(Just in case you were wondering, yes, I was aware of this song beforehand.)
+Dinoyipi Rodeo was my first favourite villager along with goldie. He stayed in my town along with her all this time, it makes me want to go back and pull out my weed-infested town and completely give them a happy life until they come to my new leaf village.
Oh I love Rodeo so so much, he’s absolutely one of my favorite animal crossing villagers.
8 years later and I’m still listening to this same exact song and video- thank you for keeping it uploaded
I don't want to add to the negativity in here, sooo...
Baked beans
Chugga's acnl endslates...loved it so much.
It's really a very nostalgic piece.
The sun had set and the stars were out, you have a new journey to make. You remember leaving for a new life and your mother's kind words, you remember how you made so many new friends, how you helped them out of their own woes. But you're on a new journey now, and no-one can accompany you. How will your mother feel? Sitting under the stars all alone, her son never to return? Would the sky look different? You wished she could be here now, to whisper some kind words of comfort. But this journey is your own. so you step forward, away from the world you knew. And find a beautiful world. Just for you. You see all the others, who've made the journey before, and now you realize. You're home, and soon your Mother will join you. And everyone you knew. No, this journey isn't going to be so bad.
This theme sounds very calm and reflective, I used it for my upstairs room where I keep my bug and fish pets.
Literally the only song that doesn't have a messed up part
Listen's to this song, instantly thinks of Julian, the most popular villager.
I have him in my town in new leaf.
***** Lucky.
Yes, I think Julian and this song is like two peas in a pod ^ ^
Julian the unicorn! I have him :D
i had him move out. didn't like him very much idk
My favorite song
It makes me so sleepy and content
But it makes me miss when I was little
I used to play acnl so much. I have owned 4 copies in 5 years alone, i used to play with my cousin osvaldo. He lived sort of far from me so we only saw eachother in acnl usually, i could go to him but i dont get much time anyways. He and i would do so much on my town called Astroland. Osvaldo helped me go through all of my tantrums and was the only one who could get me to calm down. We were like peanut butter and jam, we mix perfectly even though we are so different. He would help me find ore, upgrade my town, water/grow plants, remodel, share bells, and just talk sonetimes, but then one day he didnt awnser my texts or calls, i was worried so i went to meet him in person. And when i got there. I was told that he is being treated in the hospital for a disease i forgot the name of. He was sick and its hard to recover from it. I visited him as much as i could and helped him when he was in need, then one day he messaged me if i wanted to play acnl with him. I hadn't played for 3 weeks worrying about him. So i said sure and he and i did the most excruciating work to make my town lovely. Then we had a party in my house, and this song was playing because osvaldo and i always loved soothing music, then he told me something i will never forget. "Astro.... never abandon this town, promise me you will either keep or sell it to another child, you could get the next big animal crossing game as you wish, dont ever abandon what makes you happy, i need to tell you something" and he said "todays my last day" i was crying and he was to (as i predict) and he and i shared our final moments here. Then he left and i just fell asleep crying. The next few days i was too depressed to do anything. But eventually i got over it. I will never forget you osvaldo. You were my best friend and i will always remember what you did for me.
Oh snap I gotta go grab my Moon Shoes
I was wondering if I would see Spagoots in the comments… :)
I only remembered this song when it was on spagoots
the only reason i listen to this song is ava
I guess this is a good enough place to ramble.
About two months ago, I lost my best friend, my dog Skye. She had cancer, we don’t really know. We put her to sleep at home, laying in my lap.
She didn’t want to leave me. She didn’t pass until I told her I’d be okay. I don’t think she believed me, but I know she’s still lingering around me.
Nighttime is always the hardest. I hate having to think about how much I miss her. I hate looking at the box with her ashes inside on my shelf. I wish she was still here.
It’s hard, but I know I made the right decision. She was in pain, I wouldn’t keep her like that if I had the choice, which I did.
We’d lost another dog not even a year before, either. I miss Daisy too, but she was my sister’s dog, not necessarily my dog. That’s not to say I didn’t love her, because I did, and I still do.
Thanks to whoever decided to read this, I guess. It’s helped a bit writing it out, at least.
Have a nice day/night, drink some water. Someone really cares about you.
I’m sorry for your loss, and thank you.
As of New Horizons, Filbert has this song and is now a certified sad boy
This song just makes me sad.
My aunt died randomly.
You are missed aunt ☺️❤️
To all the hopes and dreams I've had that died this year
Animal Crossing: City Folk was the first game I ever got addicted to and I got it from my dad and my oldest brother on Easter the year after my brothers and I recieved a Wii for Christmas.
Listening to the tracks just bring me back a lot. I wish the time could go back for even just an hour so that I could experience the feeling of coming home from school and being excited to play my Wii one more time. Smelling the dinner cooking in the kitchen, my dad getting back from work,
it was all good.
oh Julian you da best.
This is an unexpectedly lovely song for the name 'Stale Cupcakes'. XD
When I found out this wasn't in WW.
THEN WHAT GOES IN THE CRYING ROOM?
Wind Waker????
@@eyvone Wild world lmfao
@@auggie4623 Lol sorry
WARNING DEEP COMMENTS AHEAD
This plays in Filbert’s house and I love him so much so I love the song too 💕
this makes me sad for some reason, so I'll just tell a sad but true story.
when I was about 7, my mom decided that I was responsible enough to get a dog. we got two dogs - the one I picked, a longhaired chihuahua mix named jenni, and the one my mom picked, a german shepherd named max. I didn't really like max at first; he was old, I was a little scared of big dogs, and we were worried that he would hurt my cat, ashli. but max proved to be very gentle; he wouldn't hurt a fly. he even became the best of friends with ashli and jenni, and it wasn't uncommon to see the 3 of them napping together. despite his old age, max loved to play with me in the backyard. one of his favorite games was keep away. after about a year, max's arthritis got too bad and he couldn't play anymore. I was a bit sad, especially because jenni wasn't fond of playing, but max became my best friend, and I learned to love him. in november 2017, my cat ashli went missing. I was very sad, but I was still grateful that I had max and jenni by my side. they were sad too, and I remember them looking around for her. in january of the next year, I got my cat gloria. she hated max and jenni. that saddened me, but I knew there wasn't much I could do. time skip to april 20 2020. max had watched me grow from the 7 year old I was to the 13 year old I am now; he saw so many milestones of mine - my graduation from elementary school, becoming a teenager. max suddenly stopped eating, and became distant. a few days later, on the 23rd, I came home from my other house. my mom was really worried, but I thought max would be fine. this had happened before. at around 8pm, my mom was in the living room with max. his time was up, he taught me all that he could. he just fell asleep for the last time. I was watching danganronpa crack when my mom came in my room and told me. one minute, I was laughing my ass off, the next, my entire world was crumbling. my best friend of 6 years was gone. I cried so hard that my face tingled and I almost passed out. my sister, my brother, and their dad came over to provide comfort to my mom and I, but I didn't want it. I just stayed in my room and cried uncontrolably. after around an hour, I went into the living room. I sat on the couch with my sister. she had her switch, and I had mine too, so we played acnh. I made a little memorial for max, near canberra's house, purrl's house, and the museum, my favorite places, so I could always remember the dog I grew up with. I only had my game for 3 weeks, so my island was pretty undeveloped, but the memorial has never changed. I know max is in a better place, but I still miss him so much.
The feels.
This island died when you left for another island once and for all. Bluebear left to become a pastry chef, Cranston moved out a long time ago, and so did Dizzy. All the shopkeepers left and there are cockroaches running around in your house. The island has become deserted and the flowers have withered. The last time I look at the picture Cousteau gave you, I'm leaving this island with Phoebe in tears.
We are waiting for a flight to your island
Your beloved Isabelle.
Jingle Room...
Stale Cupcakes is such a soothing tune. I love it so much. I believe I have the music box version in New Leaf. I feel like revisiting it, now that I've come across this song once more.
I kinda wish it started like this, and become more complex as it went on. This is still very beautiful, though.
same, i would like a gradual buildup for that would really make me start crying not that it already does
My sister was part of a critical accident and is in a coma in hospital. Gradually getting better. I’m crying writing this but anybody going through this, be strong, everything will get better. My sister is getting better and I am getting stronger. Love you Sunni 😭😭😭❤️
oh Julian you magnificent character...
That unicorn is in my town
He replaced his bed with a saw shark
+Josh Layng I think that's a valid and reasonable trade off to be honest.
This song has such a calm, yet sad feel to it. The emotion still shines through its simplicity. It's as if remembering a fallen friend or family member and all the times that were spent with them, all while sitting in a quiet field.
Lapinedeau: I love this OST ! 💗
Makes me think of them time between midnight of Christmas eve and just that excitement waiting for Santa to come.
You as the mayor, are getting your tickets to Nooks new Vacation destination. Before going you go give your farwells to the villagers. and then finally hug isabelle before heading on the train. To go live your own days on paradise
with the melody and the name this song gives me doki doki vibes
So this is what played in Dianna's house.
Used Napkin
Yeah... miss dianna
I've been waiting for over a year to hear this song in this amount of quality. THANK YOU.
The feels :( why did my DSi have to break
Beautiful, i didn't even know this beautiful music existed!
This makes me think of some friends I had. They really hated me, and I was stressed at school, so my Mom moved me to a different one. I was devastated, and kind of an emotional wreck the beginning of this summer. I'd just start randomly crying, because I'd just suddenly think of them. I'd think of how they forgot my birthday, or how they never talked to me, or if they even missed me. I eventually got angry at one of them, because she sorta stole my other friend from me, and I just wanted to yell at her, and tell her I'd been reduced to talking to walls and videogame characters, and tell her how insane I felt during quarantine because she and my other friend didn't ever talk to me on Zoom or call or whatever, and yeah, I was talking to walls and getting angry over the littlest things. But eventually, I got over it, and was excited about going to a new school with my only real friend. But then my mom said we couldn't afford the tuition fee for the new school, so I have to go back to my old one. I'm absolutely terrified about going back to my friends. Well, I dunno what else to call them. And today, my Grandma died. I just wanna talk to my friends again, my only other friend is always busy. Today I just broke down and started blubbering nonsense about my siblings picking on me and my friends and my Grandma and I'm just so upset, dhehjsjbdb. Sorry.
Anyways, on the slim chance my friends are reading this, I'd like to say: I miss you. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Oh man. That's a LONG comment, sorry! 😅
We all remember that first night staying up till 2AM playing animal crossing...my first AC game was the original on GameCube- to this day it is still one of my earliest memories. I must have been 4 or 5 years old....sitting there in my living room with the lights off. Only our comically large CRT TV illuminating the room. I'll always remember the good ol days.
I think this song is very nice and I played it during Christmas time cuz it fits the theme
My sister was a animal crossing player. J didn't play much but every time I did get on I always had a full mailbox of letters with presents. This song was playing in her house. I miss getting the letters. But at least I know shes in a better place... R.I.P. Ronnie Marie
Sounds like the rest sublevels in Pikmin 2.
I have this in my marble spa room in my house on NL. It sounds so beautiful when accompanied by the sound of water from the fountains.
I seriously wanna see a rock version of this song
This reminds me of my mom.
Love her so much
soo this can't bad, right? *looks at comment and sees all sad comments* god... *listens* and then me w h y i n the w0lrd @m ! Crying *slowly cries with tears
Dang it comment section and their amazing sad backstories that make the feels.
One of my favorite songs in Animal Crossing.
What if the world of Animal Crossing was actually the dream world of an animal-loving boy who's in comatose due to suffering from cancer?
+Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu Thats a lot like the pokemon theory, the one where ash is just dreaming... wow now I'm all sad inside.
+Seth Rollins Or girl, since you can also be a girl.
+Tiglilly chan Plays
It's always a girl, though.
