#tom nook also grew up in a small town but he got to explore his sexuality when he moved to the city in his early twenties

Me writing animal crossing lore in my head while falling asleep: I am about to craft a narrative that is so convoluted

#random thoughts #animal crossing #okay so isabelle has been divorced once and is currently married to her high school sweetheart who she broke up with when he was drafted #her ex husband was abusive and she left him after she got pregnant because she was better at putting other people's wellbeing over her own #she reconnected with her ex sweetheart when her daughter was four years old #his name is ted he is a bear he had braces when he was younger and he's an absolute sweetheart #so while she's with ted she starts questioning her sexuality because she never really had the chance to explore it #since she grew up in a small town and married young due to a pregnancy scare #and ted's like 'hey do you wanna explore your sexuality?' but isabelle's reluctant #since her ex cheated on her a lot and she's afraid of becoming like him #but ted's a real experienced man and he's been in polyamorous relationships before so they start going to clubs together #so she can get comfy with the idea #(she's pansexual btw and she goes through this whole crisis about it because she's middle aged and married with a kid) #(so does it REALLY matter??? but it does it does a lot.) #so they go to clubs and isabelle starts flirting with women and getting comfy with it #and isabelle starts getting harrassed by this dude and she says she's here with her husband to try and get him to leave her alone #but ted's in the bathroom and the guy isn't backing off and GUESS WHO SWOOPS IN TO SAVE THE DAY #fucking TOM NOOK THAT'S WHO #tom nook also grew up in a small town but he got to explore his sexuality when he moved to the city in his early twenties #he's well-known in queer circles for having gone FUCKING CRAZY in his heyday. he was gay divorced before gay marriage was LEGALIZED okay. #he's also a drag queen who performs at the club ted and isabelle went to #so like imagine tom just like LOOMING over this creep in these tall-ass stiletto heels #like tom's intimidating okay. he's a big dude. #so that's how tom and isabelle met <3 also ted has like. the SMALLEST crush on tom. he'd never act on it tho #he's more than fine with polyamory when it's his partner practicing but he prefers to have a singular partner #he likes it when he knows isabelle is being taken care of <3 he's such a sweetheart #tom is VERY flattered by ted's like. small but obvious crush #isabelle's daughter is like. INFATUATED with tom btw #her name's tippy :]
