Who are your fave pairings/couples?

[moonbox]

I see a lot of pairings when I'm browsing through fan art and wanted to know who your faves OTP's are!

Also, are there any canon relationships? I always see Apollo and Whitney for instance (also Whitney with Wolfgang?). I want to pair up Diana and Whitney with some boyzzz lol.

There are no canon romantic relationships between villagers that I’m aware of. It’s not really that type of game.

However, Phyllis and Pete were canon in previous games IIRC.

I read somewhere that Apollo and Whitney were because of the movie??? It's been a while since i've seen it.

I love seeing fanart of them together ;___;

Besides the cannon ones, and maybe the CJ + Flick pairing, I don't know if I ship villagers together haha

 

[bepsiiii]

ive always shipped diana and fauna when they both moved into my old new leaf game. they always hung out at one another's houses and were great friends. i have them again in horizons and they are absolutely so cute together!

 

[Hesper]

NookXRedd bitter exes gives me life, tbh. And CJXFlick is v cute.

None of my villagers seem shippy atm though!

 

[kojuuro]

CJ and Flick are a nice pair!

As for villager ships... Apollo apparently gave Whitney some flowers to be more than friends recently, but today he asked to move so maybe it didn't go so well...

Raymond and Marshal - the very first couple in my island. They're never apart or if they are, its usually during exercising, going to stores and museum. They're engaged in my island.

Cherry and Jacques - The childhood friends-rivals-close friends-recently dating couple. Both have a heavy past but support each other during tough times. They recently went official. They're also Cheri's guardians so it kinda became natural.

Merengue and Mitzi - More of a platonic relationship. They're not interested in romance because they're extremely goal-oriented (Merengue wants to take over her family's pastry business, Mitzi wants to finish her grad school.) that they forget romance kinda exists. I still ship them though.

Fang and Diana - Basically Kaguya and Shirogane (from Kaguya: Love is War) they're so stubborn to admit their feelings to each other that they're trying to see who admits first. They're pretty close aside from that.

Snake and Cheri - Formerly a one-sided crush (Snake to Cheri) but Cheri warmed up to him and starting to like each other. It's still very early-stage so they're not as obvious about it.

basically my OTPs and headcanons combined.

punchy/bob
marshal/raymond (ok, sue me. but i think it's cute that they live close together in game, meanwhile a blood bath fighting who is #1 on tier list)
fauna/diana
cj/flick

no hets allowed sorry

 

[spawnpoint]

Lolly and Marshal, I've seen them sing together, sit together, visit at each other's houses, and they live fairly close to each other so my head canon is that they're bf and gf, it's so freaking cute!!

 

[Xara]

kid cat and zucker! they’re best friends and might even be gay for each other

 

[Underneath The Stars]

forgot about colton/julian, i ship them even tho i basically never had julian ever

 

[lieryl]

i know it’s basic but raymond and marshal are literally always together. they fish together they run around with sticks and they sit at my little forest area with my crescent chairs. if they’re not boyfriends they have to be at least best friends T^T

can everyone who also has raymond/marshal confirm this? because mine are always together too. granted their houses are next to each other, but they run around with sticks on the residential services the same time too! maybe smugs tend to hang out with each other? for some reason my normals & lazy live near each other as well, but they are never that close. i want them to be friends

I've shipped Tom Nook and Crazy Redd for more than a decade, but ever since the Earth Day update, I've been seeing so much more fanart. I'm thriving. Love how everyone depicts Tom Nook as a jaded ex hahaha. I can see some really interesting lore behind their relationship.

I've also read a fanfiction 12 years ago that was Kicks x Katrina, that was pretty cute. Wonder if I can find that story again...

As for villagers, I don't really ship any of them romantically, but my favorite pairs are Bob and Punchy (the stoner bros) and Kyle and Eugene (they are most definitely band mates).

Psst, you got any artist recommendations? I'm genuinely afraid to look up AC fanart past what's innocent enough to show up on my FB feed, as I've been on tumblr for nnnnn too many years and even after the ban--

I only do shipping on my island if I really see two villagers hanging out or cute interactions between them I was gonna make a thread about this cause I wanted to see if anyone else did this lol

so currently on my island:

Coach & Bangle - my first couple lol they hang out all the dang time I swear and I originally started shipping them when Coach complimented bangles outfit


Joey & Molly - me and my bf kept joking about how when we got Molly that we got Joey a girlfriend and then they started having cute interactions

 

[Arckaniel]

I got Audie yesterday then today I got Chief so now I'm kinda lowkey shipping them now, plus their houses are close to each other (Lolly is in the middle though lol)

I like Redd and Nook as salty ex lovers, if only because the comics give me life.
