@mal3volent and I just hung out on eachothers islands for like an hour and a half and did pointless cute shit like get matching balloons to carry around, drink coffee together, and do group stretching.
Mal's new island is coming along nicely and I think it has potential to be better than the last one he had that I spent some time on, a lot of work still to go into it no doubt. Mal stole a couple of my crops but they triple sprouted again so I didn't mind. I think it's happening because the snow counts as them being watered because it was only Monday that they triple sprouted last time so I guess I have a whole winter full of triple sprouting crops to look forward to.
We looked at my museum too and Mal and I gave eachother some gifts. He gave me a jester hat, a cow skull hat, a ball catcher, some gold nuggets and a cave, and I gave him a snowflake wreath (because it's winter on my island and summer on his) and a part of the castle wall so he can start collecting castle bits if he wants to build a castle again.
Playing animal crossing with other people is so cute and fun. It seems like you don't have much to do because there's nothing you can really *do* on another person's island but you can sort of make your own fun.
