Sea bass and tarantulas are now CANCELLED.

It's official: Animal Crossing: New Horizons has taken over our lives. Well, most of our lives... If you don't have it, I'm sorry. But trust us when we say, it's worth it. (Also if you don't play it, what are you even doing here looking at Animal Crossing memes?)

Anyway, alongside the addictive gameplay, which many users have said is amazing for relaxation and mental health, the best thing about Animal Crossing is the memes.

From people recreating horror movie scenes, to Tom Nook's antics and those GOD DAMN tarantulas, here are some of the best tweets and memes that have since emerged on Twitter, after a week of gameplay.

I'm sorry but the tarantulas are literally the WORST!

Blathers: “tarantulas are actually pretty calm creatures despite their size”

I, too, will have a panic attack on sight if you bring me a bug.

Tom Nook 2020.

...I thought Tom Nook was a US politician because I saw people on my feed occasionally complaining about him

it took a tweet from a mutual today for me to realize this bastard was actually A RACCOON LANDLORD FROM ANIMAL CROSSING

I hate you all

I really didn't need this added level of anxiety in my life right now.
