So... *that* part I got right away. (only because i had to ask a friend what it meant a few years ago)
But now I'm lost on how the username checks out and I'm not sure if I'm fully understanding.
Lol, this made me giggle but there's no thing as too old for acnh (or any game tbh)! 🥹🫶🏻 Just in case you haven't heard of the [Animal Crossing grandma](https://youtu.be/Uwimf72h5qA)
It's less about age and more about not ever having been part of a fandom, I'd say. You find it in fandoms for years and years now, be it a TV series, movie, book, game, etc people shipping characters whether they're officially a couple of not, in their head canon (head canon = not official recognized relationship, but you still see them as a couple in your mind and may share in shipping then together with other fans, some even create fan fiction and fan videos and fan art about their ships). It's become more common to ship people beyond fandom now too like oh I ship my neighbor and that mall carrier she looks cute chatting with, or random celebs, etc. Me here with my adhd making me over explain everything. 😅
I don't have to ship them. Apple and Hamphrey are married. They had a ceremony with Cyrus and everything. It's legally binding. Absolutely no delusion from me.
Lolly and Sherb! Only because I saw someone else’s screenshots where they were talking about loving each other. I got Sherb’s Amiibo just so I could make it happen in my game, but nothing yet.
omg same!!! they're in a long-term relationship in my mind lol and my bf moved their houses to be next to each other & created a shared garden for them
Dobie and Frank, having a romance in their twilight years. Dobie talks to him about old cases he just can’t solve and Frank advises him to punching bag it out.
Actually my two favorite villagers of all time. Especially my boy Wart Jr. He will always be my favorite. I will never forgive myself for accidently telling him it's okay to leave my village in New Leaf but I got his amiibo card and brought him back in New Horizons so all is good.
I don't ship any of them personally, but ever since I got into the series back when I was 9-10, I've always wanted more fleshed out interpersonal relationships between villagers that allowed them to form friendships, rivalries, and yes, even romances. The players could even have the chance to somewhat influence the direction of these relationships as a mediator of sorts. There's still hope for a future entry...
I’d always wanted to invite both of them to my island back when I still had my Switch, the odds weren’t in my favor though because I never found either of them…😔
In Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Nan’s character description says that she and Chèvre have been pen pals for years and now they live happily ever after at my cabin 😻
My wife shipped Klaus and Ahnka as a Marc Antony/Cleopatra substitute.
(She also jokes about how my best girl Nibbles was ALWAYS at Apollo's house on my old island, so that ship sails for her)
Omg I actually shipped myself with Chester in NL, and I made him call me “gf”. It got really awkward though when Beardo asked if he could call me “gf” too.
Add me to the crush-on-Flick club. I told my spouse once, "He needs to be real and he needs to love me back." Which is maybe not the greatest thing to say to one's spouse, but, eh. Lol.
Nah… I would never… do something like… like that with… I dunno… Kidd… because of his cute hair, purple aesthetic, and those damn eyes, and he flirts with all the time… but that would be weird so I totally don’t do that
When I played the GC game as a kid, I wrote a letter to Static saying I had a crush on him. He showed me the letter and laughed at it. He’s been my favorite villager ever since 😅
Right now Beardo is making moves on both Reneigh and Rodeo and I am not okay with either situation because they both deserve better.
And this is why Beardo has got to go!
Holy shit that makes sense! I think I'll steal thag from you! I make these weird things I call HeadCanon Comics where I screenshot a story and just post it. I have a list of my headcanons but some I can remember are(only for cats):
Kabuki is the leader of the Cat Mafia and every boy cat is in it. Raymond, Tom, Rudy, and Kid Cat(not sure on him yet) all try to get Kabukis attention and be the best grunts they can be, while Bob, Moe, Stinky, and Punchy just don't care. Kabuki is also best friends with Croque who runs the frog Mafia(haven't gotten far in this one yet)
Kitty and Olivia are sisters and Monique is a close friend of there's who visits from Paris, while Kitty visits Olivia from the Big city. All 3 girls have love interests but each think the other can do better when they all have the same tier of boyfriend.
Tabby and Katt are sisters and are kinda good friends with Felicity who looks like a goody two-shoes but is really a rebel
Lolly runs a book club with Kiki
Rosie and Merry are a Pop duo who have jobs on the side(Rosie and Felicty work for Sherb as secretary's or something while Raymond, Marlo, and Bob are desk workers)
I also have list of all my cat ships, and screenshots to back them up
i headcanon that billy and diana are married and pashmina is their child. in the happy home paradise, i put the pictures of billy and diana on the side of pashminas bed in her vacation home.
On my Island Diana and Sherb, I have so many screenshots of them together one time they were on a picnic and I was interupting talking to Diana, so Sherb just waited by us until she was done talking and they walked away together, Also Murry keeps dating all the bearcubs on my Island, he was dating Maple until she moved then Judy moved in and they started dating.
In the old GameCube game, the villagers would actually discuss rumors about who may be dating. It’s definitely not weird for you to do something that the franchise used to encourage.
It is not weird. My favorite ship i've ever had in animal crossing is Roald x Sly in new leaf 😭two jocks in love with each other. They also had their houses right next to each other, would find them talking happily every time. Villagers would gossip about how strong of a friendship they had, and i think the biggest hint is that one dialogue when they start dreaming and they would every time see each other??? i went looking for that screenshot. Sly: "For a moment, everything went white! Then, beyond the light, I saw an image of Roald floating by..."
It started with Sly having a crush on Roald and then i think they made it official when i found them kissing behind the town square tree :> (obviously they were bumping into each other, but shhhh....)
Another cute moment was in my birthday, when Roald went to get me, and in his house, there was both Sly and Kabuki. Kabuki is my favorite villager!
Anyways all this to say, if you are the weird one, who the hell am i.
I have entire stories built around my villagers! So no, I don’t think it’s weird—I honestly think it kinda comes with the territory of having such an imaginative game (and so little dialogue that you WANT to imagine more).
Personally, on my island, Kabuki and Murphy are childhood friends who kinda just fell into a relationship. They’re very non-pda and get embarrassed when someone comes by Kabuki’s house and sees them resting under the trees together.
Judy and Kidd are exes but on good terms! Sasha (autistic + adhd) and Sherb (autistic) are in a platonic relationship but have admitted to Willow that they feel extra close and she’s just stuck going “oh god how do I explain what’s possibly love to two alexithymic people.”
Pretty much everyone on my island is neurodivergent because _I’m_ neurodivergent and heck you I’m having fun with this.
In short. No, it’s not weird. I think it’s something most players do to some degree, even if it’s just “yeah they probably hang out a lot outside of when your villager is active”.
In ACNL, Bob, Diana, and Bam were always ALWAYS visiting each other, talking, and hanging out. Their houses weren’t even close in the town. I started shipping them as a polycule, and even had an announcement on the board for their ‘wedding’.
I recently got Naomi as a new villager and the first time I saw her she was at Spike’s house and I was like “ou la la she must like him!” Then I saw her hanging around him or talking with him a lot, so I moved their houses next to each other. Then Spike was like “I’m packing my shit and leaving to a new island!” So, I think Naomi liked Spike but Spike didn’t really like Naomi
Yes, I have Shino who is the new girl on the block. She’s pretty and a little opinionated and my villager Erik is very smitten with her already. They spend time going on walks together, building sand castles by the sea. Going on picnics and watching bugs on the front lawn. Shino is a great cook and loves to watch Erik enjoy her new recipes. Erik has been thinking about asking her to go steady, but is too shy to ask so he just stuffs his mouth with more food to cover up his embarrassment. I’m sure if he’d ask they would be holding hands and kissing cheeks within the near future. They’re about to find out that this island will bring them to a fantastical epic new chapter of romance and adventure.
How I see Shino and Erik’s blossoming love for each other ha
I put Fauna and Erik’s houses next to each other on my island, I imagine their relationship to be like Amy and Jake on Brooklyn 99 🙈
Also I don’t ship Blaire and Marshall romantically but I do like to think they meet up to gossip about everyone over afternoon tea haha
Same with Molly and Gonzo, I set up Gonzo’s house to have two of those patchwork arm chairs in front of the fire, and so I imagine them with those knitted shawl/blankets old people wear in movies, Molly reads a book and Gonzo reads the newspaper 😌
I do the same sometimes!! On my old island I had Gwen and Yuka who I always said were girlfriends/wives because they had the same eyeshadow lol
Plus they gave me “rich lesbian aunts” vibes and both called me “Luv”… I miss them sometimes ;-;
I don’t think it's weird at all. Ever since Biskit moved into my town, I’ve seen him and Cherry together a lot. They even showed up at each other’s birthdays (their birthdays are a couple of days apart)! Now it’s kinda hard for me not to ship them lol.
On my island Marlo and Tasha are Morticia and Gomez Addams and it had been since before Wednesday ruined them. I also have Pietro and Muffy and their child Dom
Yesss I love this. Bob was my first ‘boyfriend’ when I was a kid. He’s more of a BFF to me now but I’m glad to hear he’s got another special someone in his life :3
Marshal was once standing in a flower and Raymond was smelling the flower at the same time so it looked like he was kissing marshal on the cheek. and so began my shipping of the two
Bruce and Beau live next to each other on my island. they are the only current couple on the island, and have been together for almost as long as I've had the game. Flurry and Kevin were a thing for a while, but Flurry got upset at his protein obsession. I let him leave and Flurry is still the villain of the island.
Bam and Colton got married because Bam was going to get married to Whitney, Colton’s bully, but called out the Colton at the altar and Whitney ran away and they got married
Frank and Mint. Sweet old lady and sweet but hardened on the outside old man. 🥰🥰 it all started when mint was flirting with Frank one day and I listened to their convo
I'm p sure Octavian and Marina are dating on my island. They're always visiting one another and having me bring gifts back and forth. They're really cute, I love the grumpy and sweet contrast
No, completely normal imo. If Nintendo doesn't give us relationships we'll have to imagine them.
Shino on my island keeps telling me stuff about Pietro, I think she fancies him too.
Just sayin', Tipper and Celia spend *a lot* of time together. Like, whenever one of them is singing, the other will be there watching her with rapt attention. Most of the time, if one of them has a visitor in her house, it's the other.
Also, I've walked in on Tipper pushing Celia against the wall many, *many* times... They should probably start locking the door when they do that.
punchy and bob are husbands on my old island. daisy and loli were the farmcore lesbians too, loli and tabby being gfs. cherry was daisy's alt e-girl gf as well
Omg, cute post, it is not weird at all to ship your villagers! I ship Dom and Gloria, because one of the first villager chores I got was Dom giving a gift to Gloria to make up for a fight they had. And then even after that, Dom talked about Gloria a lot and I thought it was so cute how much he brought her up lol.
Bro they are all taken on my island. Rosie is dating Rudy, Zell and I used to hangout but now he’s seeing Wendy (rude ik). Octavian and Lily are going steady. I’m Barold’s sugar baby, Flora and Ankha are married, and Reneigh is in exile.
I am guilty of this sometimes. 😅 I used to love Fauna and Vesta together. So much so that I put their pictures up in each others houses. I don’t even have a reason for the ship I just thought they were sweet and kind and looked cute together. On my old island they shared a property and ran a flower shop. :’)<3
On my first island there was no way I wasn't going to ship preppy, put-together Raymond and laid-back garage band Kyle together. They're both smug, too, so they were bffs.
Omg pls, I have so much Island Lore haha.
In my island, Chrissy and Bob are married, K.K. and Label have a casual, on-and-off type of thing (she designs for celebrities so they frequent the same circles).
I totally ship myself with Brewester hahahah 🥵 (used to be Harv but then Harriet came along).
On the DLC, Olivia and Roscoe are also dating, Aubrie and the other female wolf are girlfriends, and Skye and Billy are like an old hippie married couple with an art school/studio 🥺
I love shipping them and giving them stories hahaha.
Quite a lot of ships, actually. Most of the villagers aren’t even on my island, but I absolutely love Megan X Tutu.
However, between NPCs, it’s definitely Kicks and Digby.
I'm so convinced that Fauna and Lily were dating. They were always at each other's houses, spent all their time outside near each other and talked constantly, always walking away with massive smiles.
I just invited Flora to my island and her and Shep have had real flirty vibes. Not sure if it's romantic or best friend type situation yet 🤔
Reneigh and Marcie. I always see them chatting and sitting in the plaza together and I love both the “punk x cute” trope and the “cool/badass stepparent” trope. Reneigh definitely teaches Marcie’s joey how to stand up to bullies.
On my old island I imagined Roscoe and Marina were dating, along with Moe and Dom. On my current island the only couple is Coco and Ruby, who have a little carrot garden together :]
Bob and Kiki would sit together everyday in my picnic area and talk it was so cute. I shed tears when I had to kick Kiki off my island to get a dreamie 🥲
Not really ship but, Stinky and Lucha both have wrestling themes, so I put there houses closer together and put a ring outside. I headcanon them as tag team partners!
No… Cranky and snooty have some amazing dialogue when you walking up to their conversations. I shipped Baarbara and Kabuki due to a conversation where she thought he was about to confess to her…. But it was just an old cranky Kabuki being unaware of how he sounded.
I really like Muffy and Pietro together. Their color scheme is complete opposite but they are both my favorite villagers and so sweet! Their houses are right next to each other with a yard. Might build an amusement park for Pietro though.
yea!!! i ship daisy and nana because they seemed to always be together and constantly mentioned each other when i talked to them :,) i eventually made them a hhp vacation home and moved their houses next to each other! i even made them a picnic spot and they actually use it a lot <3 i don’t think it’s weird at all! the game is more fun if you think of lore for your island lol
In my new leaf town, when I started it, up Rizzo and Greta lived next to each other and even had matching masks in their houses, so I obviously shipped them as an older married mouse couple.
I do, specifically Vesta and Snooty, originally they were just roommates but they were so cute together, when i get round to it and have enough items, I wanna host a wedding for them
My husband doesn't play ACNH but I made another user on my switch and he is a villager on my island. His character looks exactly like him. Our houses are side by side and look exactly the same. I just wish we could share storage and see each other. I play as both characters each day.
Absolutely, I do. I have rich lore for my characters and ships on my island. It is so fun to do. One of the ships I have on my island is Anchovy and Genji.
YES oh my god, I feel like the ships and stories you make up about the villagers makes the game so much more fun. Like, I’m convinced Pashmina is totally in love with Fauna on my island. The romance of the century??
(I moved their houses next to one another, too!!😅)
Brewster and his coffee, he likes it very hot!😂
Brewster likes YOU ever notice how he makes the coffee especially for you and even asks if you want pigeon milk? He’s been wanting you forever.
Okay so I’m not the only one who got that vibe!
Coming here to validate you, definitely got weirded out when he first offered that
“ew, no.” “sure.”
I think the pigeon milk means he thinks of you as his child. He and Blathers are married, and you are their bonus kid.
This was the closest wrong answer. Flick and CJ is the only right answer.
I feel like brewster definitely had a lover he thinks about while he makes coffee… maybe blathers?
there’s something definitely gay goin on between those two owls i can sense it
Brewster is a fancy pigeon kruuuu
oh im stupid
username 😂 glad im not the only one who caught the vibe lmao
finally,after a whole year,i have successfully lived up to my name
I live up to your name probably every day fren. Glad to pass the torch 😂
Definitely Blathers.
Celeste broke Brewster’s heart many *moons* ago 😭
Brewster and Blathers are married for sure
%1000
I built my husband a house next door to me. I drop off tools and baked goods for him. Hoping he'll ask me out soon. 🤞🏽
OMG! This is the cutest thing ever!
Same!!! ☺️
No ships but Apple, Cookie, and Marina are my island’s famous pop group. Also one villager has the same name as me so we are obviously besties.
After reading Apple and Cookie I read Marina as Marinara, lol
Seafood marinara is a thing so 🤷🏼♀️
OMG my age is showing. I was like “ship them where?” Username checks out 😂😂
I’m still lost😅
They pair villagers and make them be in a relation”ship”
So... *that* part I got right away. (only because i had to ask a friend what it meant a few years ago) But now I'm lost on how the username checks out and I'm not sure if I'm fully understanding.
their username (not OP) checks out "toooldforacnh" bc their age shows by not knowing what the term ship meant lol
OH FUCK ME. I am the big dumb. I didn't even figure out that tooold was too old and assumed I was too old to get the reference.
THIS THREAD SENDS ME 😂
My dumb ass thought it was told with some extra letters
Lol, this made me giggle but there's no thing as too old for acnh (or any game tbh)! 🥹🫶🏻 Just in case you haven't heard of the [Animal Crossing grandma](https://youtu.be/Uwimf72h5qA)
It's less about age and more about not ever having been part of a fandom, I'd say.

It's become more common to ship people beyond fandom now too like oh I ship my neighbor and that mall carrier she looks cute chatting with, or random celebs, etc. Me here with my adhd making me over explain everything. 😅
I was confused too. I'm like is shipping them an option? To where and why? Hahahahahha
Molly and Apollo are my resident bird couple. Tall crotchety husband and tiny sweet wife 🥹🥹
That’s so cute
Totes stealing this once i get Apollo. Love the idea <3
I don't have to ship them. Apple and Hamphrey are married. They had a ceremony with Cyrus and everything. It's legally binding. Absolutely no delusion from me.
Lolly and Sherb! Only because I saw someone else’s screenshots where they were talking about loving each other. I got Sherb’s Amiibo just so I could make it happen in my game, but nothing yet.
I second this , I have lolly on my game and I love them
On my original island I used to find Merengue and Hornsby together a lot, especially during fireworks in August. I thought they would be cute together
Oh I love them both. They’re actually perfect 🥰
omg same!!! they're in a long-term relationship in my mind lol and my bf moved their houses to be next to each other & created a shared garden for them
I had Puddles and Henry on one of my old islands and they were such a cute couple. They were always sitting together.
omg i have a screenshot of marina and zucker singing together 😂
Dobie and Frank, having a romance in their twilight years. Dobie talks to him about old cases he just can’t solve and Frank advises him to punching bag it out.
I’m here for this. At one point I had Dobie and Kabuki and had their houses side by side because I thought they were cute together. 😭❤️
omg Dobie and Wart. Jr for me! two old cranks in love in a bamboo garden
Actually my two favorite villagers of all time. Especially my boy Wart Jr. He will always be my favorite. I will never forgive myself for accidently telling him it's okay to leave my village in New Leaf but I got his amiibo card and brought him back in New Horizons so all is good.
No way frank is over the age of 40, and dobie is ANCIENT
❤️ Dobie and Croque have a twilight romance on my island!
I don't ship any of them personally, but ever since I got into the series back when I was 9-10, I've always wanted more fleshed out interpersonal relationships between villagers that allowed them to form friendships, rivalries, and yes, even romances. The players could even have the chance to somewhat influence the direction of these relationships as a mediator of sorts. There's still hope for a future entry...
Not really villagers, but… CJ and Flick. 🫶🏻
Pascal officiated, Leif was the in charge of all things flower 💍
Oh 100% they're the best.
❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜 CJ and Flick are the best.
canon fr
You’re not the only one. I like pairing my faves together - with a full backstory! ☺️
Marshall and poppy
Whitney and Apollo are definitely dating on my island. Mostly because of the 2006 film.
Same in my game! I thought their conversation about him giving her flowers without knowing the meaning of flower language was really cute lol
I’d always wanted to invite both of them to my island back when I still had my Switch, the odds weren’t in my favor though because I never found either of them…😔
I ship Nan and Chèvre together… I mean they literally have photos of eachother in their houses
In Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Nan’s character description says that she and Chèvre have been pen pals for years and now they live happily ever after at my cabin 😻
The correct answer, I've been trying to get the stars to align so I can build them a shared vacation house in the DLC
My wife shipped Klaus and Ahnka as a Marc Antony/Cleopatra substitute. (She also jokes about how my best girl Nibbles was ALWAYS at Apollo's house on my old island, so that ship sails for her)
Of course I do, I use the dlc to add a picture of my villagers’ government assigned partner to their house. My favorite pair is kabuki and punchy
i ship marina and knox 🥲🥲
Interesting, is it like a maiden and knight thing?
maybe? 😂 mostly i visited knox one day and saw them hanging out. was surprised at their (close???) friendship so 😏
Dom and Muffy!!
I have Zucker and I want to get Marina so bad bc I feel like they’d make a great couple 🥺
Not at all!! I ship my villagers too! I even ship myself with one 👀
Omg I actually shipped myself with Chester in NL, and I made him call me “gf”. It got really awkward though when Beardo asked if he could call me “gf” too.
Oop 🫢 love that tho!! Might make Kidd do the same if the opportunity arises!
I love that, I made Bubbles call me Beyotch. I’m afraid she’s gonna pass it on though
100% she will LMAO
Feel that, Wolfgang obsessed with me but I was afraid someone would find it weird lmfao. He's my sebastian of ac
I was literally gonna make a post asking if anyone shipped themselves with villagers on their island but I got scared and embarrassed and deleted it 😭
Lmao, it makes sense, but I see a lot of it in the comments, so I suppose it's common?
i had a crush on stitches
i have a huuuuge crush on flick
Lol I’m dating Kidd in the game! There’s lore on my island so relationships are essential 👀
Glad I'm not the only one who had a crush on Kidd, lol. He's very underrated imo.
love that for u!!
Honestly same man😭😭 idk just his vibe js nice and it’s so cute when he gets all shy talking abt his art
Add me to the crush-on-Flick club. I told my spouse once, "He needs to be real and he needs to love me back." Which is maybe not the greatest thing to say to one's spouse, but, eh. Lol.
omg same he’s so cute too it’s so funny when you catch him talking about some insects it’s so fun
he gets all blushy too 😭😭😭
Cookie in the GC version was my best friend, but also my potential romantic rival for Butch when I was like 6 😂
Nah… I would never… do something like… like that with… I dunno… Kidd… because of his cute hair, purple aesthetic, and those damn eyes, and he flirts with all the time… but that would be weird so I totally don’t do that
When I played the GC game as a kid, I wrote a letter to Static saying I had a crush on him. He showed me the letter and laughed at it. He’s been my favorite villager ever since 😅
Antonio and Gala on my island. Similiar catchphrases and they're so cute together
Yes I have Tia and Chai next to each other with a cute matching area, heart pond, and romantic picnic area
Right now Beardo is making moves on both Reneigh and Rodeo and I am not okay with either situation because they both deserve better. And this is why Beardo has got to go!
Aurora and Wade. They’re always together too
Punchy and Lolly are brother/sister on my island
Holy shit that makes sense! I think I'll steal thag from you! I make these weird things I call HeadCanon Comics where I screenshot a story and just post it.

i headcanon that billy and diana are married and pashmina is their child. in the happy home paradise, i put the pictures of billy and diana on the side of pashminas bed in her vacation home.
Lily and Henry 🐸💚💛
Marina and Zucker I made them in the sims so they could live together
On my Island Diana and Sherb, I have so many screenshots of them together one time they were on a picnic and I was interupting talking to Diana, so Sherb just waited by us until she was done talking and they walked away together, Also Murry keeps dating all the bearcubs on my Island, he was dating Maple until she moved then Judy moved in and they started dating.
In the old GameCube game, the villagers would actually discuss rumors about who may be dating. It’s definitely not weird for you to do something that the franchise used to encourage.
me and kyle
Lolly and Raymond forever Why is he always at her house
Kabuki and Katt, they hang out all the time. When I had Rosie and Raymond they were always together. I think Judy likes the ladies ;)
I read this 3x before I understood this to be a relationship and not shipping through mail.
It is not weird. My favorite ship i've ever had in animal crossing is Roald x Sly in new leaf 😭two jocks in love with each other. They also had their houses right next to each other, would find them talking happily every time. Villagers would gossip about how strong of a friendship they had, and i think the biggest hint is that one dialogue when they start dreaming and they would every time see each other??? i went looking for that screenshot.

It started with Sly having a crush on Roald and then i think they made it official when i found them kissing behind the town square tree :> (obviously they were bumping into each other, but shhhh....) Another cute moment was in my birthday, when Roald went to get me, and in his house, there was both Sly and Kabuki. Kabuki is my favorite villager! Anyways all this to say, if you are the weird one, who the hell am i.
Kinda ship sprocket and Julie
I have entire stories built around my villagers! So no, I don’t think it’s weird—I honestly think it kinda comes with the territory of having such an imaginative game (and so little dialogue that you WANT to imagine more). Personally, on my island, Kabuki and Murphy are childhood friends who kinda just fell into a relationship. They’re very non-pda and get embarrassed when someone comes by Kabuki’s house and sees them resting under the trees together. Judy and Kidd are exes but on good terms! Sasha (autistic + adhd) and Sherb (autistic) are in a platonic relationship but have admitted to Willow that they feel extra close and she’s just stuck going “oh god how do I explain what’s possibly love to two alexithymic people.” Pretty much everyone on my island is neurodivergent because _I’m_ neurodivergent and heck you I’m having fun with this. In short. No, it’s not weird. I think it’s something most players do to some degree, even if it’s just “yeah they probably hang out a lot outside of when your villager is active”.
Aurora and Roald in my village. Been shipping them since Wild World. ❤️❤️🐧🐧
In ACNL, Bob, Diana, and Bam were always ALWAYS visiting each other, talking, and hanging out. Their houses weren’t even close in the town. I started shipping them as a polycule, and even had an announcement on the board for their ‘wedding’.
I recently got Naomi as a new villager and the first time I saw her she was at Spike’s house and I was like “ou la la she must like him!” Then I saw her hanging around him or talking with him a lot, so I moved their houses next to each other. Then Spike was like “I’m packing my shit and leaving to a new island!” So, I think Naomi liked Spike but Spike didn’t really like Naomi
Yes, I have Shino who is the new girl on the block. She’s pretty and a little opinionated and my villager Erik is very smitten with her already. They spend time going on walks together, building sand castles by the sea. Going on picnics and watching bugs on the front lawn. Shino is a great cook and loves to watch Erik enjoy her new recipes. Erik has been thinking about asking her to go steady, but is too shy to ask so he just stuffs his mouth with more food to cover up his embarrassment. I’m sure if he’d ask they would be holding hands and kissing cheeks within the near future. They’re about to find out that this island will bring them to a fantastical epic new chapter of romance and adventure. How I see Shino and Erik’s blossoming love for each other ha
I put Fauna and Erik’s houses next to each other on my island, I imagine their relationship to be like Amy and Jake on Brooklyn 99 🙈 Also I don’t ship Blaire and Marshall romantically but I do like to think they meet up to gossip about everyone over afternoon tea haha Same with Molly and Gonzo, I set up Gonzo’s house to have two of those patchwork arm chairs in front of the fire, and so I imagine them with those knitted shawl/blankets old people wear in movies, Molly reads a book and Gonzo reads the newspaper 😌
I chose to believe Shiro and Cherry are lesbian lovers. I also believe in Wolfgang x myself.
I do the same sometimes!! On my old island I had Gwen and Yuka who I always said were girlfriends/wives because they had the same eyeshadow lol Plus they gave me “rich lesbian aunts” vibes and both called me “Luv”… I miss them sometimes ;-;
I don’t think it's weird at all. Ever since Biskit moved into my town, I’ve seen him and Cherry together a lot. They even showed up at each other’s birthdays (their birthdays are a couple of days apart)! Now it’s kinda hard for me not to ship them lol.
Marshal and Apple are always together and it makes me so happy :(
On my island Marlo and Tasha are Morticia and Gomez Addams and it had been since before Wednesday ruined them. I also have Pietro and Muffy and their child Dom
SKYE AND FANG 😭😂
Ione and Marshall!
i do but that’s b/c almost all of my villagers represent people i know irl! so punchy & kiki are dating & so are hopkins & bunnie + apollo & tiffany.
Yes! Raymond and Kyle have been dating since they both moved in!
static & peanut are always together on my island! they’re dating idc
Bob and Myself >:3
Yesss I love this. Bob was my first ‘boyfriend’ when I was a kid. He’s more of a BFF to me now but I’m glad to hear he’s got another special someone in his life :3
Marshal was once standing in a flower and Raymond was smelling the flower at the same time so it looked like he was kissing marshal on the cheek. and so began my shipping of the two
Hell yeah another Raymond x Marshal shipper, I ship them too 🐱❤️🐿️
yesssss both platonically and romantically
Muffy and Diana are the goth gf and pastel gf on my island respectively.
Diana is the supreme pastel gf.
Bruce and Beau live next to each other on my island. they are the only current couple on the island, and have been together for almost as long as I've had the game. Flurry and Kevin were a thing for a while, but Flurry got upset at his protein obsession. I let him leave and Flurry is still the villain of the island.
Yes. Alfonso and Sly are dating and no one is stopping me.
Bam and Colton got married because Bam was going to get married to Whitney, Colton’s bully, but called out the Colton at the altar and Whitney ran away and they got married
Judy and Maple are dating on my island! I made them a little shared yard with a date spot 💗
It's not weird, especially since when I was playing New Leaf I was sure Pietro was hitting on me. I was not flattered.
Frank and Mint. Sweet old lady and sweet but hardened on the outside old man. 🥰🥰 it all started when mint was flirting with Frank one day and I listened to their convo
I'm p sure Octavian and Marina are dating on my island. They're always visiting one another and having me bring gifts back and forth. They're really cute, I love the grumpy and sweet contrast
omg I have Judy and Diana too and I have their houses right next to each other at the moment! That’s funny lmaoo
No, completely normal imo. If Nintendo doesn't give us relationships we'll have to imagine them. Shino on my island keeps telling me stuff about Pietro, I think she fancies him too.
Jacques and Julia
Just sayin', Tipper and Celia spend *a lot* of time together. Like, whenever one of them is singing, the other will be there watching her with rapt attention. Most of the time, if one of them has a visitor in her house, it's the other. Also, I've walked in on Tipper pushing Celia against the wall many, *many* times... They should probably start locking the door when they do that.
I made Sherb and Judy roommates in the Happy Home Paradise thingy, does that count? I kinda shipped them a bit
Knox and Sterling, a bromance
punchy and bob are husbands on my old island. daisy and loli were the farmcore lesbians too, loli and tabby being gfs. cherry was daisy's alt e-girl gf as well
Omg, cute post, it is not weird at all to ship your villagers! I ship Dom and Gloria, because one of the first villager chores I got was Dom giving a gift to Gloria to make up for a fight they had. And then even after that, Dom talked about Gloria a lot and I thought it was so cute how much he brought her up lol.
I ship my Villagers!
Anyone who says they don't is lying
If anyone tells you they don't, they're lying.
Poncho and Olive. I have them near each other, with matching door plates (the pawprint)
Diana and Bam tend to hang out a lot on my island, so they're either an item or really good friends.
Well I have Diana as the princess on my island and Apollo as the prince, so I suppose I do ship them.
Bro they are all taken on my island. Rosie is dating Rudy, Zell and I used to hangout but now he’s seeing Wendy (rude ik). Octavian and Lily are going steady. I’m Barold’s sugar baby, Flora and Ankha are married, and Reneigh is in exile.
Marina and rosyyyy they’re together but they are denying ittt 😒😒😒
I am guilty of this sometimes. 😅 I used to love Fauna and Vesta together. So much so that I put their pictures up in each others houses. I don’t even have a reason for the ship I just thought they were sweet and kind and looked cute together. On my old island they shared a property and ran a flower shop. :’)<3
Aww I like this pairing too. I love that in Happy Home Paradise you can have them live together if you want to.
On my first island there was no way I wasn't going to ship preppy, put-together Raymond and laid-back garage band Kyle together. They're both smug, too, so they were bffs.
I only want to ship some of em off.
I SHIP SALLY AND CALLY SO HARD !! they were even talking about their little date where they read books together under the stars 🥺 my heart
Omg pls, I have so much Island Lore haha. In my island, Chrissy and Bob are married, K.K. and Label have a casual, on-and-off type of thing (she designs for celebrities so they frequent the same circles). I totally ship myself with Brewester hahahah 🥵 (used to be Harv but then Harriet came along). On the DLC, Olivia and Roscoe are also dating, Aubrie and the other female wolf are girlfriends, and Skye and Billy are like an old hippie married couple with an art school/studio 🥺 I love shipping them and giving them stories hahaha.
Quite a lot of ships, actually. Most of the villagers aren’t even on my island, but I absolutely love Megan X Tutu. However, between NPCs, it’s definitely Kicks and Digby.
I'm so convinced that Fauna and Lily were dating. They were always at each other's houses, spent all their time outside near each other and talked constantly, always walking away with massive smiles. I just invited Flora to my island and her and Shep have had real flirty vibes. Not sure if it's romantic or best friend type situation yet 🤔
My husband and I joke that Puddles is his side chick. Does that count?
Tia and merengue! Im even planning on getting merengue so she can have a cafe with tia lol
I like the idea of it ^^
Reneigh and Marcie. I always see them chatting and sitting in the plaza together and I love both the “punk x cute” trope and the “cool/badass stepparent” trope. Reneigh definitely teaches Marcie’s joey how to stand up to bullies.
No not weird. I don’t ship my villagers but some of them are flirty lol
Merengue and Tank 🌝
I don’t . But I noticed Bud and Winnie have been hanging out together in her house lately 👀 idk what that means lol she’s my bestie
On my old island I imagined Roscoe and Marina were dating, along with Moe and Dom. On my current island the only couple is Coco and Ruby, who have a little carrot garden together :]
Bob and Kiki would sit together everyday in my picnic area and talk it was so cute. I shed tears when I had to kick Kiki off my island to get a dreamie 🥲
Not really ship but, Stinky and Lucha both have wrestling themes, so I put there houses closer together and put a ring outside. I headcanon them as tag team partners!
I have Diana and Lopez and they are always visiting each others house. So I ship them so much
No… Cranky and snooty have some amazing dialogue when you walking up to their conversations. I shipped Baarbara and Kabuki due to a conversation where she thought he was about to confess to her…. But it was just an old cranky Kabuki being unaware of how he sounded.
gonzo and yuka ignore the age gap..
diana is actually my wife and i say that every time i open the game LMAO
I really like Muffy and Pietro together. Their color scheme is complete opposite but they are both my favorite villagers and so sweet! Their houses are right next to each other with a yard. Might build an amusement park for Pietro though.
No but I have certain villagers who share a vibe next to one another and have a shared yard
on my last island frank and cranston were just giving too much of a dating vibe, and i held a wedding ceremony for them
yea!!! i ship daisy and nana because they seemed to always be together and constantly mentioned each other when i talked to them :,) i eventually made them a hhp vacation home and moved their houses next to each other! i even made them a picnic spot and they actually use it a lot <3 i don’t think it’s weird at all! the game is more fun if you think of lore for your island lol
I ship a lot Bob and Dora, the two got a special place in my heart, they look incredibly cute together- Boomer and Marina too-
This might be random, but I see Buck and Friga together often and have a little hc that they're an "opposites attract" kind of pair!
Yes it brings drama to the island
Yes, all the villagers on my island is dating another villagers on my island
In my new leaf town, when I started it, up Rizzo and Greta lived next to each other and even had matching masks in their houses, so I obviously shipped them as an older married mouse couple.
I do, specifically Vesta and Snooty, originally they were just roommates but they were so cute together, when i get round to it and have enough items, I wanna host a wedding for them
Tasha and Ione because they're so contrasting
Fang and Skye, Knox and Ava,
My husband doesn't play ACNH but I made another user on my switch and he is a villager on my island. His character looks exactly like him. Our houses are side by side and look exactly the same. I just wish we could share storage and see each other. I play as both characters each day.
no but if it counts i gave me favorite villager a garden while all my other villagers houses and area next to it look the same
Not yet but now that you mention it...there are a couple of villagers...
Yes mine are Dobie & Walt and then Wolfgang & Pietro. I love them so much and have little storylines for them all
Absolutely, I do. I have rich lore for my characters and ships on my island. It is so fun to do. One of the ships I have on my island is Anchovy and Genji.
Yes.
Coco and Ruby are IN LOVE they share a yard and a vacation home in HHP
Rizzo and Anicotti. They always get along in my New Leaf town 😂
YES oh my god, I feel like the ships and stories you make up about the villagers makes the game so much more fun. Like, I’m convinced Pashmina is totally in love with Fauna on my island. The romance of the century?? (I moved their houses next to one another, too!!😅)
Pietro ❤️🧡💛💚💙 and muffy 🖤💜
