TW: I have strong opinions on other peoples opinions:
Really hate when people say you can't discuss sexuality without it being sexualized ...
If I said I'm gay, if your first thought is how many dudes I'm sleeping with that's on you. All it means is I find men attractive. it's not inherently sexual, and you need to chill out rofl. Just like a 14 year old can know they're not fe/male, or know they're not into the opposite sex no matter how much their parents want to tease them about having a crush on their friends ( which is the ACTUAL creepy thing to be doing since most of the time it's like HEHE R U GONNA KISS HERRRR???? DO YOU GUYS WANNA GET MARRIED AND GIVE ME GRANDKIDS????? when they're like 12 ??? ). Stop being weird. :> It sounds incredibly phobic.
If you don't want to HC the animals having any sort of romantic endeavor, fine, but don't sit here acting like identity is immediately rated R. It isn't.
Anyway. My HCs regarding specifically my own neighbors !
Marshal and Raymond unendingly visit each other in my town. If they're not in my home, they're almost exclusively in each other's house ... the only other place I find Raymond is Dobie's house ( which I love, because I have headcanoned that Raymond teaches Dobie about newfangled technology and how to work a keyboard without henpecking ). So I'm pretty sure they're interested in each other.
I imagine Sasha is a cismale, bi curious leaning towards men but a bit reluctant to admit it because he feels like a stereotype feminine gay man.
Tiansheng, while comfortably het, will sometimes give Sasha a little nudge on their socmed accounts, trying to give him more confidence in his identity.
Audie is gay as H E L L. Lipstick lesbian, 200%. She has a little crush on Fuchsia, but loves to flirt with Judy.
Everyone else on this island [ Judy, Dobie, Lolly and Marshal ] I feel are probably cishet, though I'm totally open to them being otherwise, depending on how they end up presenting on my island with the other villagers.
On my second island ... I HC Petri as asexual, but a huge sapphic. Relatedly, I HC her as Cephalobot's creator ( and created them a vacation home together to indicate this ), and I also have assumed him ace, but he tries to replicate her romanticism for pretty ladies by flirting with them, though he does not actually understand that there is an attraction behind it. [ I also HC Sprocket as one of Petri's creations, and aro / ace. Coco is in a similar position, but more as an inanimate object brought to life. ]
Muffy is also totally gay. Idenfities as a lipstick ( goth ) lesbian. She's dating Cherry. She loves Homestuck and thinks of her relationship with Cherry as something kind of like Rose / Kanaya someday, haha.
Shino is non binary, going by she/they.
Stitches, he isn't too sure of anything around himself yet. Kind of like Pinocchio, he's a recently brought - to - life toy, and he's trying to grasp how life works, and the difference between the love he has for his [ deceased ] owner vs a romantic sort of love. He just loves everyone.
Lucky and Rasher are cishet. Pretty solid I think on Rasher, could be flexi on Lucky though.
