Headcannons for your villagers

Merengue gets up early in the morning to put whipped cream and strawberries on her face. It's wasteful, sure, but it's the closest thing to a horn she'll ever have. But she also can just have berries and cream for dessert every single night.

i never really thought of that... if her horn is berries and cream... where is her real horn? poaching incident? awww i feel bad for her now

That's exactly why I used to be kinda creeped out by Penelope, before I fully got used to the game's aesthetic.... now I just kind of accept it. Her ears are also a bow, Tangy is a cat AND a tangerine, and Merengue has a strawberry shaped horn...

maybe that's why she is a tame, normal rhino and a chef.... so she won't be poached anymore and can hide her embarrassing wound. Poor merengue! I kinda want her in my town now
 
I have no idea why.

But I always imagine Moe and Tom as brothers or something, they're appearances are nearly identical and both of them talk about one another a lot.
 
I see all cranky types as tsunderes or some sort of Karkat. (⌯꒪͒ ૢ࿄ ૢ꒪͒)
Preferably Static. He's just as short and adorable.
 
At one point in my town, Lobo the cranky wolf was going though a phase where he constantly talked about Frita the uchi sheep. He said he wanted to get to know her better, but was too shy. He would talk to me about how nice she seemed, and at one point, he even copied her catchphrase.

I like to think Lobo had a crush on Frita but was too scared to tell her. In many fairytales, wolves and sheep DO NOT get along, and the wolf usually ends up eating the sheep (such as in The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf, for example. Wolves ate the sheep in the end.) Because of this social view on wolf/sheep relationships, Lobo feels the other villagers will judge him for loving her, and will think he's after more than just a relationship. So he stays silent, loving Frita from afar, never letting anyone other than my character know his true feelings for her.
 
I'm not the biggest fan of shipping villagers but giving them backgrounds and such makes them so much more likeable.

I like to think Frita is an experiment gone wrong by Egbert the scientist who lives next to her c: How the hell did Egbert make a sheep into a burger though?

Monique and Tiffany are similar so I guess theyre bestfriends?

Monique and Kyle have a thing since they're kinda similar colored and Kyle is really smug and it fits.

Egbert is friendzoned by Monique, again their colors kinda fit? And he seems like a cute doof.

Lucky and Walt live by Daisy and I like to think she's a nurse and they're the patients. I might make my mayors house into a hospital or something but my costume does not fit at alll.
Daisy also seems really positive, I love her picture quote.

Originally I wanted to make Astrid, Tabby and Chrissy into cultists and make the spinny cube thing something they worship ? But I ended up preferring Tiff and Monique instead.

Doc was supposed to be a doctor and Prince, Ricky & Kyle were supposed to be somekinda hobos?

Cherry and Whitney live so close beside each other that I like to think they are unlikely good pals (despite Cherry's tendency to play her rock music too loudly).

Rodney flirts with everyone and doesn't realize how many times he's been rejected.

Bangle is the mayor's best friend.

Benjamin, who's house is nestled on the cliff in my orchard (because I forgot to plot reset) prefers to live in a heavily wooded area because it's more cozy than near the hustle and bustle of town.

Wolfgang who was an original in the town, lives on the cliff away from the other villagers. Before the new mayor took over, he truly lived up to his cranky name and everyone left him alone. Because the mayor reached out to him, he's been opening up more, and feels protective of the mayor like a father figure for her.
 
yknow im gonna make a controversial point but I have transgender friends and I support transgender rights but I don't think anyone in Animal Crossing are transgender. I like to imagine it's a happy world where everyone is born into the body they want and they're comfortable with it... if you get me.
I do like to imagine Zucker, Marshal and Merengue (who are all next door neighbours in my town) are planning a food uprising tho.
 
Astrid's child is illegitimate. She paints their fur and eyes to make it seem like her own. And why would she call it "my pet?" That's not what a mother calls their child. It's rather horrifying, really. Perhaps she up and took the baby from a hospital, or found it abandoned on the door of town hall.

Coco is an automaton. Not a robot, but an animate creature made of clay from ancient times. The start of revolutionary "life-giving" technology.
Ribbot is not only a literal cyborg, but the equivalent of Teen Titans' Cyborg. Formerly an athlete, he was in a freak accident and had to be filled with untested robot parts in order to survive.
Octavian was a result of the same technology, tested on a non-sentient octopus (since they seem to be "real animals" otherwise) and perfected to the point where no metal shows externally. The existence of more octopi was a direct result of Octavian's desires.

Merengue, Cherry, and Chadder all have (at least a little) actual food as part of their bodies. Possibly the same technology as Coco and friends. Only a select few can even identify this, however.
The true gourmets, Rodeo and Big Top, have been training for years to find tasty food and eat it. They are aware that their neighbors are partially edible. It takes all the restraint in their bodies not to eat their animal neighbors, even though they're both herbivores by nature.

Additionally, Big Top and Victoria are cosplayers. Dedicated cosplayers. Like, really dedicated cosplayers.
 
In my Wild World game, I had Marina and Octavian in my town at once! And of course I developed the idea that they were in love, haha.
 
Sorry, what's a headcanon? ^^;
Stuff that you made up in your head that are not being used in the game itself.

To be honest, the Animal Crossing fandom is full of headcanons, since the game can only do so much.

Apple and Simon live next to each other in my town (so straight it'd make a plot resetter jealous. Also have Gaston and Francine the same way.) I like the think they used to go out and moved in with each other. They then broke up and Simon moved next to her. He still flirts off and on with her (Literally every time he asks me to give something to someone, it's apple. Gotta get someone? Apple.) and gives her presents.
 
Omgg, thank you for starting this thread! I have SO MANY headcanons about my villagers.

Chief and the pretty dolly
It was my first Toy Day playing the game, and I didn't know that Jingle comes to deliver presents. So, when my villagers told me what they wanted, I went out and got it for them! Chief's request in particular made me smile. The rough-and-tumble cranky macho man asked for a "pink doll". So, I got him a Tumbillina! He loved it. Jingle got him a Doll House. He kept both items until the day he moved out. Cheif can like rock and roll items and like pretty pink things too!! ; u ;

Chief and Lucky
Chief and Lucky were best friends in my town. They were always at eachothers' houses, they'd talk all the time when wandering the town. Through a time-traveling mishap, I ended up flying forward a year and both of them had moved. But here's the odd thing -- as it happens, they moved within a month of eachother. Lucky moved out, and then Chief immediately after. As soon as the game permits. (Because when a villager moves out, you're safe for about a week: no one else moves so soon, just because of the game dynamics).

Every time one of them is visiting the shops in the north side of town, without fail, the other is there too. I am being 100% serious. I've tested this at least 30 times. If Chief is at the shops, Lucky can be found somewhere too. And vice versa. I don't know how this has happened, but I think they're tied together somehow. I mean for real, within the game - something in the system's memory files brings them both together, each time. (In less quantative measures, I think they moved in together, my pups, and are living happily ever after).

omg these are all hilarious headcanon accepted
 
ill do some more later I'm so tired.

Kiki-
Kiki is a cocaine kitty. She loves that junk.
She gets high for hours on end. She has mood swings on the rare occasion.
And tends to talk with Tabby and stalks Purrl. They seem all in the drug game if you ask me.

Purrl-
Purll just loves weed. She can't get enough of it. She enjoys going into town after getting high and likes *****ing at other residents. She also tends to talk to tabby a lot. She has a crush on KiKi.

Tabby-
Tabby is the local drug dealer. She talks with Kiki and purrl a lot. Probs selling that coke and weeds.
Tabby hides and often has me (the mayor) deliver items. Most of the time it's to Kiki or Purrl.
