new horizons headcanons

These aren't head canons for the characters in general (except Hans), just how they are on my island personally :)

Bella is probably a murderer at least she is on my island. Piper "moved away" when Bella moved in, she mentioned something about not wanting me to find anything "incriminating" when I was looking around her house, and I found what looked like some sort of bird-meat on a BBQ at Resident Services (That Tia was eating! :eek:)

Hans is gay I just get that feeling from him, and I support him fully ❤

Tia is the Mum of the island I imagine that she's always looking out for everybody :)

Boris and Tucker LARP as a gang of barbarians. They hang out in their own little bandit camp but you can totally just wander in and they won't care.

Katt and Bella have a Metal band, they play at Katt's place since it's basically a garage band. Spike is their only fan.

Sterling is the island Blacksmith/Armourer he has armour on display for people to buy
 
gay rep in media is sparse so its very fun to headcannon pretty much all my villagers+special characters are gay lol

also tom and redd definitely had chemistry even tho I ship tom with sable way more

Also the reason resetti isn’t present in game is because he implanted his consciousness into the helicopter he uses for the rescue service when he died in a mining accident
 
Tybalt is a mooch and a criminal.

He works with redd, the only way to get to redds ships is hidden behind his house in a secret passage way.
He sends forgeries he gets from his criminal activities to me in the mail thinking I won't notice they're forgeries. I do notice.

I will give him a fossil every day. He now says he notices me digging fossils and asks if I found anything good. Yes Tybalt I did, and I gave it to you yesterday... fine have another fossil...

I have found him at multiple people's houses where he says the host gave him a sports drink the other day and it was really good. It's not why he's there but if that's the reason you're there then he would totally have another one.
You and I both know why you're there Tybalt.

I saw him having secret conversations with Carmen around my island. They would do stuff like sit on the opposite sides of a fence. I started to think they might be dating.
I no longer think theyre dating. He wanted her stuff.

That is why I believe Tybalt is a mooch and a criminal.
It is also why he is my best friend.

Also to fit in with this thread he can be gay too, why not.
 
These are my personal headcanons for my villagers:

Del- He’s a navy veteran (as he wears a sailor uniform on his poster and that his design is based on a naval ship). He has metal parts because they’re prostatic limbs/metal plates, after losing his biological limbs to a wartime injury.

Doc- Despite being a Lazy, he’s smarter than he looks (based on his study interior) and is a big nerd for biology. He’s also a part-time teacher and kids like him because he’s easy to relate to (interestingly enough, he’s the only Lazy that has an education hobby!).

Elmer- A former working-class horse with some back injuries, he medicates with medical marijuana. Jacques, Deirdre, and occasionally Pasqual occasionally pop in to partake and chill.

Tiffany- Worked as a dancer and had also worked as a high-end escort to make ends meet before finally saving enough money to retire and live comfortably on the island.

Rod- He’s basically Steve the Pirate from “Dodgeball” and you can’t tell me otherwise. Also is a friendly rival with Tybalt, the other jock on my island.

Tybalt- Not too bright, but he wins the ladies (and men) with his good looks and heart of gold. Always happy to help out the other villagers with his heavy lifting skills.

Jacques- Currently dating Piper. He’s an aspiring music producer, but DJs as a side hustle.

Piper- Is an aspiring popstar and girlfriend of Jacques. She likes to team up with Jacques to make music collabs together, with her doing vocals and him doing the instrumentals.

Eunice- I always imagined her to be an old lady, because of her love of reading and knitting.
 
- Barold and Olive are married.
- Kurt runs a junkyard.
- Roscoe is the town’s bad boy. All the girls have a crush on him.
- Avery is a loner. I think he hates everyone.
