How did I miss this thread? I have so many thanks to everyone here and their screenshots.
Rodney was one the villagers I disliked the most, yet again I have to thank
@Chungus &
@Le Ham for all the love they shared with us of him since now, funny enough I consider him to be a favorite.He looks super cute even in the instant muscles suit and the funny glasses. I do hope to invite him at least as a temporary if I continue playing the game; would love to keep him but I already have a plan on who my permanent villagers will be/are and not enough room sadly for him or anyone else. But that does not mean he isn’t good enough. He definitely would be wonderful to have as a permanent resident. I just love his expressions and his kinda dorky (i say this affectionately; dork to me is not a bad thing) look.
Bangle and Tabby thanks to
@WaileaNoRei . I was never interested in either of them but seeing them in Wailea’s screenshots and hearing how much she loves them both really made me appreciate them and their designs more. I used to not like the big cats but I think I like a lot of them, just not the lions now. I honestly think Wailea is part of the reason I’ve become open minded and interested in more villagers. I just love how enthusiastic she is about the game and she always seemed so open minded even about villagers she doesn’t like

. I hope you don’t mind I say this and this doesn’t make you uncomfortable.
Rolf - got to give
@Rosch credit for this one again. After seeing him in his profile pic for so long and reading his posts mentioning him, Rolf’s design grew on me. I have him at my cabin in Pocket Camp and while the villagers are not quite the same in this game as they are in ac consile games, it has confirmed that I really do now appreciate this big cat and his extremely grumpy looking face. I really regret not taking him when I had him at my campsite, but I do have his amiibo card so hopefully, I’ll play long enough to get to have him on my island for a bit.
Frobert: I really love his colors. I had so much fun designing his house in HHD. If we had the Gracie sets, I definitely would love to make him a yard or redo his interior by gifting him stuff even though none of my villagers have yards atm (which I kinda regret).
Claude: I don’t have his amiibo card. Would like him possibly as a permanent villager. If only I could give him a custom design designed by someone else, I’d so have him wear Claude’s timeskip outfit fron FE3H.
Cole: Been wanting since HHD, around the time DAI was released since he shares the name with one of the characters (and from the novel Dragon Age Asunder). Gives off appropriate vibe to the character too

.
Special mention: Tangy - thanks to the halloweaster event and happenings in the woods and fun banter with
@NefariousKing @Totoroki @xara and others, I now would like to invite her to be a temporary resident. may have to come with a mini story about her stay (but this depends on if I keep playing the game and get around to cycling more) and encounters with a certain shady mobster.


(unless the mobster objects; don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable again).
I have a lot more villagers I could talk about but I’ll just make another post later.
