The Rodney Appreciation Thread

Today my weird, hamster-loving dreams came true and look who is in my campsite!

I wanted him to be a resident on my other island, actually, but I can’t say no to him.

but now I am stuck in the nightmare of attempting to game the process of inviting him until he kicks out a villager I can bear to lose…wish me luck!
 
i honestly think it's his color pallet that makes him seen as "ugly". he's actually pretty cool!

Did you succeed in coercing the boy to live on your island??
 
Guys, I went on another NMT hunt with my main account and guess who graced my screen with his presence yet again??

God bless this little man. Unfortunately, I could not keep him, but part of me will always yearn for him. Curse our 10-villager limit and the fact that I already have Graham!!
 
I could never hate a villager based on how they look, they all just wana be ur friend in their own way! With that being said Rodney is such a cutie to me, I think I have a thing for unconventional cuteness (2 of my fav animals are elephant seals and probuscus monkeys)
 
You guys are aware my name is Rodney IRL, right? XD

Anyways, I'll admit that the villager's design isn't very aesthetically pleasing (hence why I find it disappointing), but I still think he's cute.
 
I had Rodney in my original island and while I was dissapointed that my first forced villager was...him, I quickly grew to love him. He isn't a necessary villager for me but if we crossed paths again I'd surely welcome him. x
 
Aw, lol, somehow I was blessed with Rodney being one of the first ever villagers to move himself onto my island. At first, his pink freckles freaked me out because they kinda remind me of zits…and me being someone who has tried to outrun zits her whole life and failed, Rodney was too much of a reflection of myself 😖.
But then, I accidentally gave Rodney a blue bandana, and he would NOT stop wearing his do-rag with sunglasses! It was the cutest. He was the tiniest toughest fella on the island. And he inspires me, because he clearly does not care to fit into a generic attractiveness. Like sure, I can have all the deer villagers on my island, but will that really be as flavorful as the Picasso that is Rodney?
I just dont think Rodney is that bad, plus it really helps that he has a smug personality, I think, cause it makes him funnier.
 
I love Rodney. You can’t go wrong with a blue hamster. Although, he isn’t on my island because he doesn’t fit my theme.
 
I had Rodney on my 2nd island (Brooklyn) before I deleted it and he was not that bad of a villager. Don't get the hate for this Hamster. He just seemed like an average Smug villager and he was not too bad what so ever. Feeling sorry for the poor dude, I made sure to gift him everyday and the best thing happened was that he gave me his photo, right after he was thinking about moving out.
 
So since inviting Rodney to my island, he has now, very unexpectedly become my second favorite villager of all. and in my opinion he’s the absolute perfect smug! So glad to see this thread come around again!

Also, he’s such a fashion icon, and he gives the best advice…
