new horizons headcanons

Lots of headcanons about people being gay

I always just kinda thought the smug personality was gay and I get major lesbian vibes from uchi villagers.

Anyway... Plucky and Billy came to my island from a farm, hoping to establish something more interesting and less work-intensive.

Wendy's whole popstar act is in fact a sad reminder to herself that she couldn't make it back home.

Tucker was actually found frozen and since thawing doesn't understand modern things, like furniture or hygiene or bug exterminators.

Carrie, for one reason or another, came to the island to keep her daughter occupied while not thinking about her father, who is too absorbed in his work and couldn't give more time and attention to her. Actually... This makes me wonder about all the kangaroos as they all have children but no spouses/SOs to speak of 🤔

Marina saw the first pink mum I grew and crawled out of the ocean for it.

Miranda is a widow. She may or may not be the reason.

Admiral retired from the Navy. He just wanted to enjoy the quiet island life but can't help indulging in the process of creating a bustling town there.
 
- Gruff wanted to be a singer when he was young, but he put it aside to be "responsible" - I'm thinking taking care of family. Now that he's retired, he's living out his dream, but semi-privately. I find him singing a lot, but always up in the forest.

- Dobie is a retired professor. He just wants quiet, but he also wants a family. He's adopted Lolly as his granddaughter.

- Cherry and Purrl are the rival girls. They're friends, but they also bicker with one another, then they need me to deliver "I'm sorry" gifts to smooth things out.

- Lionel is up all night working on his one-lion show. No one knows what it's about because he burns the script each morning. Still waiting for that spark of inspiration.

- Lolly looks up to Cherry, and Cherry is teaching Lolly a bit of sass. It's good for both of them.

- Sally keeps an eye on Filbert and Snake, because they are both sweet boys who don't have a complete thought between them. Sally is also Filbert's slightly older cousin.

- Flora keeps up the pretense of wanting to be a popstar, but really she just wants to join Cherry and Purrl in their girl talk.

• kid cat & zucker are best friends and that’s on god

• henry and shep are in a relationship

• i’m also pretty sure zucker does coke
 
Chevre and Nan.
i don't know what, but there is definitely a relation between the 2.

( their houses are inverted colored, mirrored versions of the other's home. )
 
Vivian and Label used to be in a long term relationship and when they broke up Vivian moved to a developing island to get away and is flustered every time Label shows up in the plaza. (Especially as she has recently been seeing Audie and gets a bit embarrassed by Audies zest for life and ebullient attitude in front of her ex, but honestly the personality difference is usually super refreshing and comforting to her, they obviously have things they need to work out)
 
These are just what has happened in my island based on what my villagers did,

- I gave Tank a shirt and not only did he not wear it he gave it back to me as a gift, guess he was shy in saying he didn't like it
-Henry is a cook yet eats sandwhiches all the time (so i put a vending machine in front of his house)
- Marina is secretly Mabel from gravity falls, her shirt really reminds me of her for some reason

Thats all major event that has happened so far so theres bound to be more
 
Rooney likes to work out, even tho he isn’t really a jock. Maybe he just can’t get rid of his past life. He still wants to become a famous Boxer, I believe. So he tries to stay fit, but despite his looks, he’s probably already in his 50s.

Ozzie is a Vampire in Koala Disguise. It was late at night and Hopper ordered me to give him a Present. And it was a Vampire Costume. I’m scared ...

There is something going on between Mitzi, Merengue and Gayle. They all get along very well. Maybe they are just best friends.

Rod must have a lot of Money. Not only has he the Pool for 5000 Nook Miles, he also casually bought a Billard Table for 77.000 Bells and put it in his house. He also rejected all my gifts I gifted him yet. So either he’s a rich Snob which owns a lot of money or has rich parents. I’m still trying to figure it out. He’s also good Friends with Groucho.

Hopper is popular with the Ladys. All of them want to cook for him and asking him if he would agree to a picnic.
 
UPDATED LIST
  • kiki and fauna are bffs, they constantly hang out on my island
  • Reneigh is kinda introverted and always escapes from the island shenanigans, especially at night, but shes actually really popular and everyone likes her
  • rosie has stage fright and only sings where nobody can see her
 
I low key ship Raymond and Cleo in my town because they're Snooty and Smug, and their house interiors are both office themed! Since Cleo has an employee set up and Raymond has a boss kinda set up in his house, I like to think they're boss and employee and there's totally some tension between them! They were made for each other I tell ya!
 
• i swear marshal and sheldon are either best friends or boyfriends. they live across the island from each other, but i always see them interacting outside, and they visit each other a LOT. once, sheldon was singing in the plaza and marshal sat down to watch him. then, a few hours later, they lifted weights together. it was so darn cute.

• antonio and butch have lifted weights together on two separate occasions. i think antonio fancies himself butch’s personal trainer, but to butch, he’s just someone to work out with so that he doesn’t look weird doing it alone.

• dotty and baabara hang out and talk a lot. about what, i have no clue.

• i HC that my antonio has amnesia/memory loss/something like that. this is the case because soon, i will have had three different iterations of antonio...i got his amiibo card in a mystery pack, so i scanned him in so that i could force genji out for my friend. then, i gave him to someone else so that i could open a plot after trading judy for molly. after that, i missed him too much, so i scanned him back in so that i could give monty to someone on here. THEN, my friend (the genji one) who had originally wanted to keep his starting antonio decided not to, so of course i’m taking his antonio!!! it’ll be really cool because i’ll have two of his starting villagers that he got super attached to (daisy and antonio), and he can still visit them all the time.

the rest of my villagers haven’t interacted much yet, but before they left, katt and sly were, like, besties.

All of the LGBT headcanons are so good I love you guys

I live for Julian as a semiprofessional fortune teller/astrologer!! Man, no wonder we get along (I also do tarot readings and geomantic readings for money, lol).

Bianca is 200% a lesbian. She wrote me a whole letter about lying about her taste in music to impress some girl named Debbie. Lesbian disaster pop icon, we stan. She's also a huge prankster who's always telling me about hiding pitfall seeds and other traps around the island.

Julian, in addition to being a fortune-teller twinsie, definitely writes romance and erotica on his Cancer table. "What am I writing? I'll leave that to your imagination, glitter."

Skye is the world's biggest romantic, always telling me about the ideal dates she's imagining.

Despite her tough image, Dierdre likes to dress up nice, and even left one of her good dresses at Bones' place: he's so chill, he doesn't judge her like she's expecting people to do for liking to be femme (nb!Dierdre? Nb!Dierdre!!!!).
 
Cherry and Dobie are actually best friends, but the kind that insults each other all the time. They both know it isn't real, so they have fun shocking the rest of the island (and according to a conversation I heard, the occasional small child when off-island).
 
- Chief and Francine are dating.
- Lily and Vesta are planning to get away from my island and go to a friend's island to see how they like it there.
- Sherb has a crush on Snake, so he always invites him over for cookies after he [Snake] works out.
- Cyd's ex-girlfriend, Cherry, insists on moving to the island to join Cyd's band, 'Demolition Exile' (which he does not want).
- Coco is trying to convince her internet friend Kyle to move to the island because she feels lonely.
- Cyd and Chief are currently in a band called 'Demolition Exile'. They featured in K.K. Slider's K.K. Metal. They're also best friends.
- Tasha thinks Chrissy is extremely cute, but because her and Francine are best friends, she buries her feelings deeply.

I have so much planned but I gotta save it for the island journal. ;m;

-Apollo is retired from the airforce. He was in an accident however, and he refuses to fly himself. He knows Wilbur from back in the day.

-Julian is that guy that's wayyyy into Tarot readings and astrology to the point where he makes annoying predicttions about everyone else. He and Ed look like gay bestfriends.

-Static was in a band that would become famous one day. He split before they got famous, but maintained they never found a better drummer. He's always singing in the plaza.

-Stitches is a literal cursed being stuffed into a teddy bear skin. If you saw the true horrors that lurked below your eyes would melt.
(like Mimakyu)

-Marina is a living reverse mermaid, somehow granted to live on land. She dosen't understand all the land things but does her best to learn by reading. She especially likes plants.

-Hamlet exerises all day then goes home, gets stoned, stuffs his face with food, forgets everything, and does it all over again.

- Slyiva was the resident hippie who never bathes and always had fleas. Her son's name is probably something like Raindish.

-Kidd and Sherb are brothers.
 
Welp here’s mine:

- Apollo used to be a pilot and retired early. He’s still in his mid-adult ages but acts like he’s older due to his career.
- Beau is a stoner and probably smokes weed. I like to believe that he’s from the west coast and is good friends with Carmen.
- Buck is a jock-ish gay dude because one time, he randomly started walking around with a rainbow sweater.
- Carmen is one of those girls who likes to post plant aesthetics on her Instagram, Pinterest, and Tumblr. She can play the ukulele and enjoys listening Chloe Morindo, but secretly she also has a black metal punk side that she rarely ever shows anyone.
- Chevre is definitely a lesbian (she has a picture of Nan in her house) and is a botanist because she’s always observing plants.
- Egbert was in one of my old friend’s town back in NL before she disappeared. I like to believe that he moved to my island because the mayor of his town hasn’t come back to visit in a long time and decided to move on my island due to loneliness.
- Freya is owns a flower stand on my island and acts like a suburban white mom named “Sharon” who basically runs the Island Neighborhood Association. She’s basically everyone’s mom.
- Lily is often reading books and often interacts with the typewriter I hired to her in her house. She used to be a librarian but decided to quit and become a writer.
- Raymond decided to quit his old stressful office job and move to an island. When he was young, he secretly wanted to become an actor but had to resort to being a business major because of his family wanting him to continue on carrying the family business, but it ended up stressing him out and left him feeling unfulfilled.
- Wolfgang is probably gay for Apollo or something like that because he’s always around him, in his house, or standing near his house.
 
  • Definitely a big fan of the Tom and Red are exes headcanon going around. Even better if the divorce was never finalized.
  • Katt is gay and butch. Like have you seen her??? Butch icon
  • Raymond is also gay and the reason he and Katt get along so well on my island is because of wlw/mlm solidarity
  • Marina is trans
  • Portia does the classic hime laugh
  • Frank is everyone's dad
 
Most of my stories started with ACPG...

My character moved in and quickly befriended Rocco and Woolio. Kiki was a barmaid. Kitty frequented the bar and was Kiki’s best friend. Purrl was the high class lady who wanted to tear down the underground bar. Chow (or Papa Chow in the criminal world) had an underground criminal organization that Copper couldn’t find evidence on to convict. Purrl was always close to Chow. Hopper, Roscoe, and Rodeo (all in my original town!) were thugs that worked for Papa Chow. Eventually Kitty moved out under mysterious circumstances. Kiki then moved out to find Kitty. Rocco and Woolio were my only friends at that point. Then over the course of a week, they were both run out of town by Papa Chow, who also left after ruining the once loving town of Avalon...

(continued later in Wild World...)
