blathersText() is a JavaScript plugin that generates quotes from Blathers by specifying a category (e.g. bugs, fish), or leaving it blank to retrieve a random quote. All quotes are from ACNH, which Blathers will say when the player donates a specimen and presses "Tell me about this!".
Just for fun! Blathers yaps a lot, so I figured it would be a perfect opportunity to spice up lorem ipsum.

Add the following code under <head>:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/glenthemes/blathers-text/blathersText.js"></script>
<script>
blathersText();
</script>The following are two options:
- for basic usage please read Method 1 (HTML).
- if you want to further process the data in JavaScript, please read Method 2 (JavaScript).
You can choose to inject text into an HTML element (e.g. a <p>) by adding the blathersText attribute:
<p class="optional-class" blathersText></p>| Option name | Details |

bugs,fish) are not case-sensitive (e.g.T. Rexis the same ast. rex) - If you are retrieving the quote for a particular specimen (e.g.
pop-eyed goldfish), remember to include any hyphens-, and make sure the syntax matches exactly to how it is in-game! If in doubt, search them up on animalcrossing.fandom.com or nookipedia.com! - Do not remove any quotation marks provided in the example(s).
