My Beau dilemma...

[Katarzyna]

In New Leaf, I adored Beau. Of everyone in my town, he was my favorite my best boy I would do anything for him. Erik was a close second. I just loved those two cute deer ;w; I paid 30 NMT for him and invited him to my NH island. I was so excited that I built him his own forest home, but idk something is different... He’s not the same as he was in NL. I don’t feel as attached to him and tbh he kind of bores me, which breaks my weak AC heart... I thought it might be because he is the exact same interests and styles as Filbert, but Filbert has always endeared me so much and I could talk to him all day long (I do and I think he’s getting sick of me...)

idk what to do.... Should I let Beau move if he asks and try to find someone I’m more attached to? Has anyone else felt this with their old dreamies now in NH? I just feel like he’s not the same as he’s not my Beau ;;

i definitely feel like the personalities are a little different now, so i understand if he doesn't feel the same! i'm sure you'll have some time until he asks to move, so hopefully by then you'll figure out how you feel about it. if anything, i feel like a new game is a good opportunity to try out new villagers. (and he always might cycle back in!)

i had this same problem. i adored beau back in new leaf and maybe it’s because my tastes have changed over the years but i no longer love him as much as i used to. while i do still love him, i didn’t hesitate to replace zucker as my lazy villager as i grew to like him more. my advice is, if you’re no longer as fond of him as you used to be, i would let him go for a villager that you’d like more ;u;

I have both Erik and Beau and they act like twins. I’m personally more attached to Erik because he’s my birthday buddy, and I feel Erik does much more DIYs than Beau. So I was waiting for Beau to leave. Until today he gave me a philosophical conversation that changed my mind. I heard online other people’s Beau also had this conversation. I’m not sure if the dialogues are restricted to Beau (i doubt) or any lazy villagers can potentially say this, but it definitely made me re-evaluate Beau.

Tbh, I have the same feelings with Marshal. I'm really not a fan of the way they write the smug personality in this game which really sucks cause I love Marshal so much. But this Marshal is different. He's not the same sloppy boy from NL, he's now really flashy that lives in a cafe. He's still super cute though and he'll still stay on my island though since he's my dreamie, but if he wasn't I would be alright to let him go.

Self-awareness intensifies

Beau has found a crack in reality, he found out about the matrix. He's the chosen one.

Punchy gave me the same speech. No villager in this game has unique dialog, but there are two sub-types per personality. I'm having a bit trouble with the lazy villagers, but I think one is more weird/bug-loving and the other kiddish/hungry.

I have Beau's amiibo card and he will forever be my best friend in New Leaf.
I think it's okay to let someone go. ^^

I had the same thing happen with Drago. He was one of my all time top 5 favorite villagers and I literally screamed when I saw he was moving onto my island but... idk he just seems so... meh to me on my island. I have another lazy, Broccolo, and that mouse just gives me so much more interesting personality! They talk about similar things but Broccolo just feels a little MORE. I'm kinda sad but at the same time, I still love him in New Leaf and I can just find other new favorites for New Horizons.

 

[zooblenoodle]

i think if when he wants to move you decide that maybe it really is time to let him go, then why not? it's not a permanent decision after all, if you change your mind he will always be out there somewhere ^^
besides, i've always thought animal crossing was about learning to let go y'know? maybe you should be trying something new!

with that being said, i actually have never been too big of a fan of beau, but i found him on a mystery island so i let him in... lo and behold he's my new favorite, haha. c:

Some clicked with me right away. Fauna and Stitches. Erik took awhile to get used to, he just felt different.

If you're not time travelling to get rid of villagers, I vote just wait until it becomes an issue. When he asks you'll know what you feel at that point. You may find your start to like him and you may find that you don't. Even if you TT, I imagine it'll still be a while before he happens to ask to move. Just wait and see how it feels when the time comes.

I know I have three tiers of villagers.

Ones I will not allow to move, no matter what (I would love to "favorite" two-three villagers and they will never ask to move. Not everyone, just a few to increase the odds on the ones you do want to move...random aside)

Ones I would have to think about pretty hard. (Like Maggie was for me, but when she asked I let her go)

Ones I would pick first to move, if they should ever ask.

 

[Skyfall]

It’s like seeing your high school crush years later. It’s not the same. Ever.

It’s ok. You will meet new loves.

I totally get you! Zucker was a dreamie of mine back when New Leaf was released. When I managed to stumble on him during a mystery tour (he was my lazy villager to move-in at the beginning), something felt....different? Like oddly enough, I had fallen out of love with him. I guess I've just grown over the years and with that, my preferences have changed. I had to let him go tonight to make room for another villager. It was definitely bittersweet, as our reunion was not that long. It was like saying goodbye to an old friend

Regarding Beau, I actually find him very endearing in NH! I totally love him here, but maybe that's because I actually never finished what I had set out to do for myself in NL. I stopped right as I was working on finalizing my villager roster. So I don't really have a baseline to compare Beau to. All I have is NH and PC, but even then, I didn't last long on PC either.

 

[Underneath The Stars]

yeah they did kinda change, especially if you were so close to them that it's noticeable. luckily for me, my main fav punchy is still the same with just a new obsession with bugs. i'm moving in marshal this week, but i already feel like my other smug was different from my acnl ones.

 

[carackobama]

it’s okay to feel different about Beau in this this game! there are definitely subtle changes that I’ve noticed in the personalities and whether it’s because of that or taste changes that you don’t like click with him anymore, that’s completely valid. as someone else above said, you’ll meet new loves c:

 

[cheezu]

I am going through something similar with Wolfgang.
He was my NL starter and became my permanent resident there.
When I found him on a mystery Island, I was super excited at first... but I have another cranky, Boyd, who is growing on me so much (even though he's not popular at all).
I just wish I had Wolfgang's amiibo card though.

I feel exactly the same. For example Moe and I were really close in NL. He had so much individuality and him and the other lazies on my town all spoke about different things. However now in NH he seems quite different and I hate to say it about my precious bean but he's getting a bit boring too I guess. Ozzie on the other hand, also lives on my NH island and I would be able talk for him for hours on end if I could. He is so much fun to be around and I just find it so weird that they are so different from what they used to be.
I have heard of the sub-personality types which is where each personality type kind of branches off so that there are different variations. That means that they are the same personality but they speak of different things to some lazies but could be similar to other lazies. For example one lazy may talk about bugs and some may just talk about how they can smell like any food they want to smell like

 

[Kyneria]

I feel you in a way. As a child I loved Lucky, a character I would visit on some friend's game but that I would never get. With NH and finally joining the online community I was hyped, I could finally get my only dreamie! And I did, it was awesome!

But as time has passed, I've found myself falling in love with characters I just decided to meet by myself, that I wasn't exactly searching for at all, like Fang and Sherb, or that I just invited because I felt curious about them, like Audie. I'm still getting Lucky's amiibo, as I feel my younger self would be proud of finally having the mummy dog with me, but at the same time I feel I just followed what I liked before without considering that it may have changed.

What I am trying to say is that it's ok to change opinions, it's ok if you think about letting him move now and perhaps later find him in an island and get him back.
