Look, I know that none of this is canon. The villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons fall under male or female when it comes to gender, but I like to imagine that it is very much not the case. There are a large number of villagers who exude 🌈queer energy✨ and it makes me so happy.
Maybe you are like me and have your own storylines going for your villagers. One of my own personal favorites on my island involved Marshal and Chief… they are in freaking love and it is magic. I will not be taking any questions. But that’s a story for another time.
TODAY, I wanted to share all of my favorite villagers who feel queer-coded and make me irrationally happy. Whether you agree or disagree… no worries. You get to make up your own scenarios. That’s the beauty of games like this. But if we’re on the same wavelength…hi! Let’s be friends.
Now… let’s get into it.
