i guess you like that one anime huh?

What, my avatar isn't giveaway enough? :D
But no, Beastars is not the inspiration, I just really like deer and wolf villagers, they're all very cute and I love their designs, they're among my favourite species in this game.

I like some more than others, often due to eyes and color, and there are a couple of small annoyances that drags some designs down like no nose or them always looking upwards. But in the end there is only a single villager, ONE, that I don't like. I would happily have even the oh so hated Cashmere or Elise on my island because there is something charming about all of them in the end.
...except Barold. They should change Barold. He's not okay.

Yeah. I get that Barold is meant to invoke the 80s/90s Japanese game developer stereotype, but I do not understand how NoA is letting that design stand as is. At least remove the bright red lips.

I will say that lot of the old Animal Forest neighbors that didn't appear again until the New Leaf amiibo update can be a little... off looking, though

Yea, Barold is bad, not sure how that one got by localization

I think it's telling that even in fan content where people bash him because he's unwanted/ugly they make his lips grey instead.
This popular video kinda loses the point because he doesn't look that bad when you draw him like that!

Some designs definitely need some changes. Chico would be another one, since he probably shouldn't be released as is, appearance wise.

And the animals the reference indigenous culture need to be updated in a way that still pays homage but doesn't represent a harmful cliche.

Got my first Lily of the Valley! Does it duplicate via watering or do I just have to hope for the random spawn again?

I think Amelia is a very respectful representation of Andean cultures.

They are random spawns.

Diana wants to move. Don't want her to, so not talking to her at all to let the bubble potentially transfer tomorrow. That is how it works, right?

You checked that it is the move bubble and not her wanting to give you something and whatnot? (Talk, make sure it is, home button before you answer and close the game)
If it is, then yes the bubble will be on a random villager tomorrow (including her again if you are unlucky).

Yeah, it's weird and disappointing that the fish models are so tiny compared to the insect models.
I got my dissapointly small colanthacanth fish model today too... I wish hadn't of bothered and just sold those fish for the bells
It really makes it not worth the trouble to get fish models. I was really looking forward to having a great white shark model to display on the beach. Oh, well....

I know this asking for the moon, but does anyone have any real Redd art they want to trade?

He showed up for me yesterday and I have a copy of the graceful painting. I already have: gallant, wistful, moving, scary, and common.

So ...

Raymond will be in boxes tomorrow on my island. Anyone here interested? For the right price the cat can be yours. Obviously not for the same insane prices he gets traded at other places.

I already have him, but just wanted to say it's of you to offer him here, even for whatever fee. Prices elsewhere are crazy.

The hype around him is certainly too much, but so is some of the vocal backlash. He's a fun character with a great design and cool catchphrase (crisp).

Anybody want to buy this? I'd appreciate some art if you have any extra. Real or fake. Or let me come to your island if you have Redd after.

Raymond wanted to leave today and I hovered over the option for a while before making him stay, I wanted to let him go but there isn't anything better to use the villager slot on due to overlap with personality types, at least he is Smug B type (one of only a few) and seems to have significantly different dialogue to Pietro, I'd rather have Shep but he's the common A type like Pietro.

You're charging an entry fee of artwork for letting someone buy something out of your tailor?
What the actual fuck are you talking about? First of all, I'm not charging anybody anything. But if anybody has any extra art, I'd appreciate it. Second of all, it's complete luck what shows up in your shop, so I'm giving people a guarantee to buy the thing if they want to get it.

Honestly if Raymond showed up at my campsite I'm not even sure if I would take him or not. I'd much rather have Marshal as my smug

There's personality sub-types for each personality.

The way you worded your post made it sound like you were expecting art in exchange for letting people come to your island to buy that crown.

I mean, your post reads as if you're asking for artworks in exchange for letting somebody buy at your Able shop, even if you maybe didn't mean it that way. No need to get aggressive about it, dude, just clarify your offer and move along.

So I also have Julian in boxes right now (had Blanche at my campsite and really wanted her, and I dont have Julian on my list of villagers I want - so I made the choice). So if anyone wants him he is up for grabs no fees attached just give him a good home.

And in addition 6 hobby types, it's what is meant to make villagers feel different despite having the same personalities. Problem is I don't think the way they split them is particularly great, for example Smug has 5 B type and 29 A type and then all but one of the B types has the education hobby and then most of the A types have the music hobby.

Oh man, I'd be so tempted to get Julian if I didn't have all my plots full and 3 smugs already. Would even make an exception to my 5 wolf 5 deer island later on. He's the best horse hands down.

I usually see what random items I have in storage and plan from there. Makes you get creative!

But as for suggestions, how about a reading nook? Or a mini park with a sitting area, art, flowers, ect? Secret movie spot with film projector, popcorn machine, and something to sit on? (These are all thins I have on my island haha)

Personalities have sub-types.

Oh I see thanks!

Whats the education hobby? My Knox takes out a magnifying glass like he's some kind of detective.
