Who are your fave pairings/couples?

[*The Oakboro Mayor*]

I know of the Isabelle/K.K. ship, it's kind of cute tbh.

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 love this one artist who thinks of Red/Nook as ex loves, it's genuinely hilarious.

Even though they aren't on my island right now, Cleo and Raymond both live in houses that look like an office so I shipped them and it was pretty cute IMO. They never actually like interacted though so I didn't ship it much. More like, I wish they'd be a cute couple but not gonna happen lol

 

[Deege]

These 2 are dating in my head canon. I have Drago moving in soon and ive already decided that both he and Gayle are going to fight over Del's affection lol

I really like the Nook and Redd shippings, their dynamic would be a lot of fun. And the new Flick & CJ one is just so wholesome.

I don't think any villagers on my island had any spark yet though. But I really like snooty/lazy pairings too.

 

[Manah]

CJ and Flick as far as canon plausibility goes.

Lopez and Phil from my old New Leaf town were a very obvious couple. Always sending each other secret gifts and leaving their shirts at each other's house.

Zell and Rosie have the sweetest conversations with each other! Smug and peppy interactions are just so cute!

 

[spaceapple]

I don’t imagine my villagers having romantic relationships, but I do like to think the Pashmina is Sherb’s older sister. That sweet baby needs someone looking out for him!

Seems like The Oakboro Mayor beat me to it haha. I'd definitely recommend them, the comic they made depicts them perfectly. Here's another post.
As for where to search, you're pretty much safe on Tumblr since they ban every NSFW image, it's Twitter that you'll have to be careful about as most of the NSFW artists migrated there. It's a shame that we don't have ship names for pairings, so finding content can be difficult. New content gets buried quick.

Here are some posts I have in my likes on both sites that I want to share.
This one made me laugh hard at 3 in the morning
Another one that made me laugh
This one is really cute, love the art style very much
This one makes my need for a in depth story on their past much worse haha

 

[Hedgehugs]

was kinda afraid to admit it but since people are openly saying;
nook/redd as exes is pretty dang good

also kinda sad no one talks about nook/mable(?) though.
+ cj/flick is okay

other than that, don't think im big on shipping. no one on my town is shippable, besides maybe marshal and pecan?
plus sally told ricky he enjoyed him on the island. that was hella cute but i see the dude as more as an uncle figure.
and damn i view him as young but filbert has game on my island like everytime i enter his house either pecan, hazel, or poppy are there.

Oh my gosh oh my GOSH! Those are amazing, sorry I beat you to it. A++ comics, I can’t believe I spent a couple days without them in my life.

 

[basilica]

marcie and annalisa are in love in my town nwn

they dont live near each other, but they water flower together all the time! i also overheard one of their conversations where they discussed having a date on the beach under the stars. so cute!

Yess! I knew and loved Speremint for their handful of Good Omens stuff already uwu

And being in Good Omens, I can say the ban is...optimistic lol. Somehow, I still see bits I don't want from AC, while stuff like tarot card spreads I've made get flagged. The algorithm is not perfect lol. Just an observation from a chronic tumblrite.

Now to obsessively consume this media!!

 

[mochacake]

i don't have either of them (both of them are dreamies though) but i'm also very fond of the idea of genji/pekoe as a couple, ever since someone pointed out they're a lot like pucca and garu!

on my island i kind of imagine june & sylvana with mutual crushes on each other, and it's not exactly shipping, but dobie & lolly seem like platonic best friends

 

[whimsycreator]

Villager ships-

Marina and Lily (I think they’re so cute! Also Lily shares my birthday.)

Apollo and Amelia (Even though I hated Amelia as a kid. I thought she was so rude! (I played the GameCube game...)

Cobb and Peggy (They seem to have something going on in my current New Leaf town haha...)

Punchy and Bob

Audie and Whitney

Rodeo and Marshal (I know, this seems VERY weird. But I like the idea of Rodeo being a big, sensitive guy who is less shy around Marshal, and Marshal actually being kind of moody and standoffish (in my portrayal), but he becomes more charismatic when around those he can trust, like Rodeo.)

Ruby and Carmen

Agnes and Renée

Kid Cat and Agent S (I sort of imagine them as childhood friends, best friends and sidekicks, but as a couple isn’t bad either.)


Regular NPC ships-

C.J. and Flick

Isabelle and Mabel (does anyone else consider this or)

Tom Nook and Sable


Disclaimer: Also I like to keep my AC shipping pure, I’m not going to imply that any of these pairs do anything “intimate.” That would be really weird, especially when they’re non-humanized, because they are literally cartoon animals... (Especially in the case of Rodeo and Marshal, I can see people assuming I’m into really weird stuff because of that one for some reason. (It’s the size/species difference maybe?)

 

[Last_bus_home]

I don’t really think of them in romantic terms, but I love Lolly and Punchy as childhood friends (ever since I saw them airplane tunning round the plaza just the two of them). I love Fauna and Deirdre as a pair (they compliment) and Diana and Fuchsia (they contrast!). I have this headcanon that Audie is the niece of Fang, Wolfgang and Chief. I have Audie and Chief currently and they make such a cute team, thinking of adding Wolfgang too. Today Raymond was trying to impress Fauna with his poetry, but he was just embarrassing himself, now I think he’ll probably have to leave, she deserves better (someone more intellectual). Oh, yeah, I also like Fauna and Erik as friends and add in Deirdre for a cute gang!
Not meaning to keep it deer/deer, cat/cat etc, it’s more about complimentary characters. I really love Audie and Dom together too because he’s a Jock who’s super cute and she’s a peppy who’s super fit, and a sheep/wolf, they’re perfect friends!

 

[Shinjukuwu]

To me, Julian and Colton are boyfriends, and Ed is Julian's quiet shy ex who still loves Julian, but he keeps his feelings bottled up as he feels he can't quite compete with Colton's positive vibes and energy, and he knows that Colton makes Julian happy.

I have never had any of these three in any of my games so don't ask me why I think this

 

[clownpapa]

octavian and cheri started hanging out a lot on my island so i always thought they were kind of a cute odd couple, and octavian would always be so happy after talking to her it liiiiterally killed me it was so cute hfghf
as for a super obscure rairpair thats not villagers but just ac characters, i've really been digging dr shrunk x isabelle IDK..i cant explain it........and i know he's married or whatever but i just like to ship it for fun under the assumption that a) he made up his family for his jokes like the wiki suggested or b) the more depressing route you could say his wife left him hfhfhf

 

[driftwoodisle]

I really like the hc that Nook and Redd are divorced but not actually because Redd used fake divorce papers and now uses their marriage for tax fraud.
Also, I hc my villagers Flo and Ava to be wives or dating. I used to find them singing across the river in each others direction a lot.

 

[FishHead]

Apollo and whitney because of the animal crossing movie.

 

[Minimasher]

Ozzie and Bluebear. They are such good friends on my island and are always talking to each other. I just think they would make a cute couple
