Description
the first time I talked to nook in new leaf it felt weird, he was nice....maybe too nice. I was expecting him to be like, well like he used to be, but now he's a pretty nice and decent(?) guy/racoon. there's something wrong, I don't think that's the same nook at all D:Related content

who is Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler?
π: 0 β©: 1
He's a minor character (who sells food and other stuff that you wouldn't usually buy) from a series of fantasy books by Terry Pratchett, namely the Discworld series.
The books, in my opinion, are really funny, and some are almost parodies of other stories (like Wyrd Sisters, which has a lot of references to Macbeth).
There's some more info of Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler here: discworld.wikia.com/wiki/Cut-Mβ¦
There have been many books since the first book (The Colour of Magic, published in 1983) and still more are being written today
...Does that help?

I noticed a mistake. When Nook took of his shirt, it switched from teal/yellow with diamond shapes on it to a pink striped shirt.

lol it's not a mistake, that's what shirts look like when you put them into your pockets and hand them over to other characters XD

I just thought there were a mistake there.

Funny thing is, while reading I can actually hear fluttershy's voice in my head XD

Question: The game is really like that? They give you free stuff and get naked?
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah, he likes Flutter

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA This is getting better and better!!

The only thing I disliked about the game was Tom Nook's sudden 180... That's not my Nook...

Is these characters your own creations or do they come from somewhere?
π: 0 β©: 2
animal crossing a nintendo videogame series.
π: 0 β©: 0
All characters from here,apart from Fluttershy,come from Animal Crossing.
π: 0 β©: 1
how are you supposed to know that
π: 0 β©: 2
Maybe because I've played the game before...?
π: 0 β©: 1
Where are you taking this?
I've played the game,I know the characters.
π: 0 β©: 1
yes, YOU, and that makes you special, because you are one of the few people that actually have, that is what I am saying.
π: 0 β©: 0
Because the entire comic is based around Fluttershy becoming the mayor of an Animal Crossing village i.e. the exact same as Animal Crossing: New Leaf for the 3DS.

Again CSImadmax should have explained that in the beginning because I had no idea what "Animal Crossing" was, I only had a vague feeling that there was some inside understanding that we were supposed to know the charecters, but the only characters I recognise is Fluttershy and Sonic.

Actually, he's mentioned Animal Crossing at least one in the description.

These characters did seem to be a bit too dumb to be of her own doing, the big question is why she wanted to parody them to begin with
π: 0 β©: 1
That's like asking why TeamFourStar wanted to parody Dragonball Z. There doesn't need to be some important reason - she's an artist and she wanted to make a crossover comic. It's not a "big question".
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't know who team four star is, but I will have to agree with you that it would be nonsense to make a parody of something as bad as dragonball
π: 0 β©: 1
...you just completely missed my point. I don't know what you think you were "agreeing" with, but rest assured it has nothing to do with what I just said.
TeamFourStar is the creator of a fantastic DBZ parody on YouTube which is many times better than the real thing. Did they need a reason to do it? No. Did CSImadmax need a reason to do a crossover comic? Of course not. Stop looking for some divine reason for everything.
π: 0 β©: 1
First of all, I have not talked about God, you just brought that up.
what I said, is that it is nonsense to do a parody of a bad show, because a parody is the greatest form of flattery. Therefore the person that does a parody have to think higher of the thing they are parodying then their own work, because a parody is like fanfiction on a lower level then original work. There is nothing wrong with doing either, but you have to be a fan of the original work you are writing about.
And a fan is someone that holds that which he or she is a fan of in high esteem. The object of a "fans" affection is an idol, and "idol" means imagine of the divine, something or someone that you worship.
Do you understand what I am saying?
π: 0 β©: 1
First, I haven't talked about God either - I just use the word "divine" quite often.
Secondly, I'm not a DBZ fan either, but even I can admit that the TeamFourStar parody is absolutely fantastic. It seems you're basing your mental definition of a parody off of one or two instances. Whether or not a parody is better or worse than the original is completely dependent on the creativity of the one making it.
Here, maybe this will convince you otherwise:Β www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyYrkcβ¦

You didn't hear what I said
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm pretty sure I heard (read) what you said and countered it. Please, explain what I missed.
π: 0 β©: 1
I didn't talk about quality, I talked about attitude, you have to have an attitude of submission and reverence in order to make a parody or fanfic.
Objectively these types of literature is in a lower class then original work, irregardless of their qualities
π: 0 β©: 1
"You have to have an attitude of submission and reverence in order to make a parody or fanfic."
...I'm sorry, what? Did you pull that out of your ass? If you ask any fanfic writers or parody creators if that quote describes them, I'm pretty sure they'd all tell you to piss off.
π: 0 β©: 1
oh? then please tell me what other reason the admiration one has to parodyse something. For instance Bobby Henderson created the idea of "the flying spaghetti monster" because he was deeply moved by the idea of teaching intelligent design in schools. True he had a very negative opinion on it, but it was still something that moved him deeply, and it was made as a direct response to that input. That is the difference between original works and parodies/fanfiction. These things are always just a response, a reaction, never an action in and of itself.

Then you have clearly never seen or read a decent parody/fanfic in your life. You've really missed out on a lot.

I'm from the country that invented parodies
π: 0 β©: 1
How does that counter what I just said in any way, shape or form?
π: 0 β©: 1
I know what a parody is
π: 0 β©: 1
Your knowledge of the definition of a parody wasn't being questioned. You mental definition of the qualityΒ of parodies was.
π: 0 β©: 1
what I said was that parodies are on a lower level that that which they are parodiding, as a parody is always a response to something that affects people deeply. It can be done out of spite yes, but even then it is still something that you care very deeply about.
π: 0 β©: 1
Just because it's something you care about, doesn't mean the parody is on a lower level. I've seen enough quality work to prove that.
π: 0 β©: 1
but it is by the very definition that it is a parody
π: 0 β©: 1
"Parody:Β An imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect."
What part of that definition suggests that there must be a drop in quality?
π: 0 β©: 1
And? That just shows you're basing it off something, not making it worse than the original.
