I love Rolf. He does his own thing every day, appreciating the flowers, falling asleep under a tree, fishing at the river, getting persuaded by Mable to buy clothes he doesn't need.
Never had Tangy in Wild World or New Leaf, so when I invited her to my island, I was equal parts excited and wary. Now, I just break into a ridiculous smile every time I see her. She's perfect for a peppy, and so photogenic. Like a star-to-be ought to be.
What's Wolfgang thinking about? How his sandwich is a little sandy from having dropped it? If he should ask Rolf for advice on avoiding Tangy, with whom he cannot have a conversation without feeling completely drained of energy afterwards?
Becky is a snooty. These days, she's wearing the royal shirt I gave her. Maybe because it makes her feel like royalty? Becky keeps to herself and rarely interacts with the other islanders. Even when she does, her words are always so very carefully and gleefully flavoured with sarcasm.
I was unsure of Claude when he first moved in. But the little guy grew on me so much! His child-like nature is endearing. Claude's love of bugs is something I don't find alienating or strange because, in real life, I'm a huge fan of jumping spiders myself.
The light at dawn is something special. The infrastructure on my island, not so much. I keep it pretty rustic. Paths are narrow and winding, trees and flowers grow wherever they're growing, bridges are few and fences are rare.
Every time I see an atlas moth in the game, I'm reminded of the 365 project I completed in 2012, because among the photographs I managed to capture were those of two mating atlas moths I had spotted while looking for jumping spiders in the mangrove forest. It's a memory I cherish. The atlas moth is a magnificent creature to behold.
When I first saw the takoyaki design Zucker is based on, I didn't know what to think. Or rather, I thought, doesn't that toothpick in his head hurt? Can I pull it out? Then I realized I was the one being silly! Zucker is best friends with Claude on my island, and they make me smile every single day.
Goldie is my only normal personality. In New Leaf, I liked the normal villagers. In New Horizons, I find them uninteresting. I feel it adds an element of unpredictability and excitement to my game if my villagers were less normal and more surprising, as in the things they say to me or to one another. Right now, my favourite personalities are the lazy, cranky and sisterly.
Flashback shot! Boone was in my game, being one of my two starter villagers. He's such a good-looking mandrill. (Nope, he's not a gorilla, yes, I know what the wiki says.) In this shot, with his glasses on, I'm seeing a college professor who likes afternoon walks in the sun. I miss Boone. But I believe change is good, it keeps things fresh for me, and I look forward to meeting more villagers I've never met before.
Everything happened so quickly. I spotted Dom being put up for adoption, opened up a plot, made an offer, invited him, and he's here! The day after he unpacks, he's zooming around the island like he owns it. Can't wait for him to make friends with Jitters, my other jock islander.
Caught Raymond enjoying an ice-cream outside his house by his lonesome. He's not terribly sociable. I rarely see him interact with the others and he never sings. But I guess that's his nature. A solitude-loving cat who hides his socially awkward tendencies with flamboyant stories and spontaneous flirting? Why not.
