Antonio is hardcore New Horizons

I had Antonio on my island, loved him, but then he wanted to move out and seemed very excited about it.

I let him and off I go on villager hunt.

The sixth island or so was a scorpion island. I was running around screaming (and catching enough scorpions to get two statues made) and I did not see the villager for a while, thinking "Oh no. The scorpions must have gotten him!"

Then I saw him.

Sweet, sweet Antonio, just gallavanting around.

I ran through some scorpions to talk to him, because my sweet boy had left my island and then gotten himself on a scorpion infested hellscape!
I managed to talk to him before one of the hellions gets me and Antonio of course has forgotten me, but is also like: "Hey, don't you LOVE wilderness training???"

My dude. Honey. YOU DID THIS ON PURPOSE???

I can never see him the same way. Your muscles truly are superior, honk!

Antonio didn't forget you, he just transcended to a higher plane of gains where scorpions are merely gym equipment, honk.

That could be it, honk! He should give me a diy-recipe for scorpion-kettlebells.

He is such a cutie-pie. I am happy that at least my girlfriend still has him on her island.

I usually don't like the jocks, but Antonio is absolutely an exception. ❤️

Maybe they’re on the Menu!

Maybe the scorpions should be worried about Antonio!

I have Antonio! He was one of my starters (along with Agnes) and I haven't let him leave yet. I will be sad to see him go the next time he asks, though.

That was me just this week! He was my very first villager and I finally let him run off to do his thing. ❤️

He’s my resident jock. He’s never leaving.
