Post automatically merged:

10) Soleil - I don’t really dislike her but she doesn’t really bring anything to my island other that being my only snooty personality type (I’d rather have Portia or Opal aha)

9) Gladys - she was my first nook Miles islander and I invited her because I liked the idea of having an ostrich, she’s ok but not my favourite and I wouldn’t be devastated if she moved out.

8) Kevin - I’m very conflicted about Kevin’s placement as he’s my only remaining original, he’s my most frequent naruto runner which never fails to amuse me- I still like him but once again, not one of my favourites

7) Fuschia - I like her design (I love pink villagers and I love her piercings) however I don’t really have a connection with her tbh. As uchi villagers go (I find the personality type bland) she’s probably one of the best though

6) Flurry - SUCH a cute hamster honestly, I scanned her in via amiibo but if I come across Kiki she’ll probably be replaced (IM SORRY)- Kiki Is my preferred normal villager

5) Marina - She absolutley adorable and so unique and we’ve got on well, I don’t seem to have the same connected that others seem to have with her though

4) Filbert - I love squirrels and he has the cutest design, he’s also a lazy villager type which is my favourite male personality and he just fits so well with my other villagers!

3) Henry - Frogs are my favourite animal species and he’s always really friendly- he was my first camper and I was so relived when I saw him- I’ve moved him next to my other frog villager and they are such a cute duo!

2) Pinky - a pink, peppy villager! What a surprise! I saw her on a nook Miles tour and invited her thinking it would be temporary! But I’ve grown so attached to her and she was my first ‘best friend’ status on the island so I don’t think I’ll be replacing her with peanut (who i originally planned to have) after all

1) Puddles! - I haven’t seen much love for this adorable frog :( but she’s just so friendly and My absolute favourite villager ever! I’ve had her since wild world in every game and an animal crossing game just wouldn’t feel the same without her!
Puddles is a literal legend
 
10) Sprinkle - she really is a cutie but I don't necessarily like peppy villagers. Not sure what to do with her, she's only place 10 bc of my other great villagers not because I hate her. <3
9) Amelia - I've never had her in my towns before, she's the only eagle I've got and since I'm trying to get a lot of different species she'll probably stay for a while if not forever. I like her design, in general I like the more natural looking animals.
8) Stitches - I don't know what to do with him he's adorable but I already got a bear cub and I don't know which one to keep. I already got another lazy too. There's no way of getting him back if he's out bc I don't have his amiibo :c
7) Maple - Here's my other bear cub. She's very cute and natural looking but also a bit boring.
6) Goldie - I got her on my first island, I've always liked her and she's adorable. I don't know if I will keep her though bc I've already got another dog.
5) Ankha - Now she's one of my absolute dreamies but I'm not sure if she fits the aesthetic I'm going for that well. :/ I got her as an amiibo so I can always invite her back if I decide to kick her out. Also already got another cat.
4) Bruce - I randomly got him in ACNH and he's grown on me since then. I love my crankies and I like deer in general so he's probably gonna stay. I'd love to get Fauna on my island though sometime so maybe he'll have to leave then ;_;
3) Raymond - Now that damn cat. He's not as great as I expected tbh but I love his design and his house. He's probably gonna stay forever bc I don't wanna search for that dude again. Also his fangs are adorable when he waves.
2) Lucky - I adore my mummy dog <3 I love love love his design, his interior (even though it lacks a bit imo) and his personality too. I got him as an amiibo that's why he's only the second one on this list. He'll leave and come back quite a lot. Because of him I'm also not sure what to do about Goldie bc I really wanna have only 1 of each species.
1) Dom - the most adorable thing ever, I found him on my 3rd trip on a nmt island, didn't even like him that much at first but now I'm smitten. His house doesn't look that great tbh but I'll accept that, he's my absolutely adorable sheep. <3

10. Hopper- He is temporary. I like nothing about him at all except that he could be Wade’s grandpa.

9. Teddy- I actually don’t hate him but I also don’t care that much about him. He was one of my starters.

8. Marina- She’s fine and all but I have 2 other normals and she is my least favorite one.

7. Wade- I love lazy villagers and Wade is a good one, but when he wants to move I’m letting it happen. There are just too many other lazy villagers I love more.

6. Reneigh- I really do like some female horse designs (Annalise, Epona, Cleo) and Reneigh is awesome! She would be higher but the sisterly personality gets old.

5. Melba- I love her but I honestly forget about her a lot. She was an early mystery island find. I plan to keep her for a while.

4. Raymond- I just found him tonight after doing some campsite cycling. I will have to get to know the smug personality more because I ignored my previous smug (Hans).

3. Audie- I found her on a mystery island and knew that if I had to have a peppy, she would be a good one. Her design and her house interior are so chill even if she has no chill.

2.and 1. Tie- Blanche and Maple-These are the two villagers I have right now that I love and truly want to keep. They both have a special place on my island. Aurora is the only other villager that tops them, but I don’t have her on my island.
 
10.) Hamphrey - Of all the villagers I could have gotten I guess he’s not too bad. On the island he’s definitely my least favourite and I never go out of my way to talk to him. I’ll be replacing him soon with either Cherry or Maddie via amiibo.
9.) Lucha - Design wise he’s not horrible. Honestly I think the reason he’s so far down on my list is because I generally don’t like jock villagers. I might replace him with either Cherry or Maddie via amiibo soon, unless I change my mind.
8.) Keaton - Not horrible, though not my favourite smug. He’s grown on me a tiny bit, but in the end I’ll probably move him out.
7.) Drago - He’s alright. I think he was one of the first villagers I invited to my island via mystery island. I’ll probably end up keeping him, mostly just because somehow I feel like his design is a cool contrast against Flora’s.
6.) Megan - She’s cool. I don’t think I’d force her to stay, but honestly she’s starting to really grow on me.
5.) Boone - One of my two starters and I think the villager that has grown on me the most. Part of me wants to look for a different jock, but I feel like I’m starting to always go out of my way to talk to him. His catchphrase is one of my favourites, especially since at first I always thought he was calling me a baboon and I thought it was hilarious because my boyfriend calls me a baby baboon as a joke.
4.) Chester - Sweet boy! With him the new lazy villagers obsession with bugs doesn’t seem too weird somehow. I had him in my second New Leaf town and have adored him since.
3.) Flora - 10/10! An amazing superstar! I originally invited her from the mystery islands as a joke because a few years ago my friends all debated on what we’d be if we were animals, and one that stuck was my friend Katana being a flamingo. Now every time I see flamingos I think of her, so I invited Flora so I could joke that my friend had moved to my island. Flora’s grown on me a ton since then and I couldn’t imagine my island without her.
2.) Diana - I adore her! She was my second random move in on my first New Leaf town, and in New Horizons she was also my second random move in. I find the coincidence awesome and she’s definitely staying.
1.) Bea - She’s top dog, literally lmao. I invited her from the mystery islands because she was adorable and since then she’s become a pal. She’s also crafting new and rare things, plus she was one of the first to give me medicine. As long as I have a say she’s staying.
 
10. shep - he was my forced move-in from the campsite and while i definitely could’ve gotten a worse smug, i’m not fond of him at all and can’t wait for him to leave lol

9. henry - i got him from somebody’s void and for that reason alone, i disliked him. however, he’s slowing growing on me and while i don’t intend to keep him at all, he’s not that bad aha

8. pekoe - she is absolutely adorable and i love having her around but i’m not overly attached to her - once i get her pic, she can leave whenever she wants lol

7. marshal - i got him from an island tour and tbh, i mainly got him for profit lmao. however, he is a very cute villager and while i won’t be keeping him, it’s nice to have him around aha

6. julia - got her from an island tour, also, and she’s so pretty! she’s a bit too nice for a snooty villager but i don’t mind all that much. plus, her house interior is really pretty ;u;

5. bertha - another tour villager! bertha is hugely underrated and overlooked because she’s a hippo but imo, she’s the cutest hippo and she’s also so sweet! i celebrated her birthday a few days ago and she was the first birthday i’ve encountered so she’s special for that reason, too :3

4. tammy - a villager i never thought i’d be fond of. while i’ve never hated tammy, i definitely never cared for her, either, and so i’m shocked that i’ve grown so fond of her. it’s likely just for sentimental reasons but regardless, i’ll be sad when she moves ;u;

3. dobie - my first official dreamie that i found during an island tour! i was so excited when i found him and this is why i won’t be trading for my dreamies as i feel a lot more accomplished and satisfied by obtaining my villagers myself aha

2. kid cat - my other starter villager! i wasn’t planning on having kid cat as my jock but i grew to love him so quickly and now i’m keeping him permanently

1. zucker - this is my first time having zucker and before, i didn’t really care for him at all. i invited him from an island tour for profit, too, but now i can’t bear to part with him lol
 
9. Snooty. I mean, really? A snooty villager named snooty? Also, Violet the gorilla pulls off the green/purple color scheme WAY better than Snooty does.
8. Cube. Cube’s cute, and I loved him in previous games, but the new lazy dialogue is just... unsettling? They’re so childlike that it kind of freaks me out.
7. Harry. Harry’s fine, I guess. I’m not a huge fan of any cranky villagers, but Harry’s decent.
6. Celia. Celia’s a really pretty villager, but... she seems cold? I know, I know, I’m putting too much stock into these guys’ dialogue, but it just doesn’t seem like she’s warmed up to me.
5. Bettina. I didn’t think I’d rank a mouse villager this high, but... she’s not that bad, really! I like her café theming, AND she plays Animal City in her house, so that’s a big plus. She also just seems more friendly than Celia, I dunno.
4. Beardo! Beardo’s cool. I like the whole detective/professor theming going on with him, and smug villagers are neat.
3. Frita! Frita was one of my starters. I love Uchi villagers and she’s got a super unique theme, so she’s pretty high up.
2. Antonio! I know a lot of people dislike jock villagers for all the sports talk, but honestly? He’s just, like, the most genuine and approachable villager on my island.
1. Audie, duh! First off, she’s a reference to the AC grandma; second, she’s cool looking, and finally she’s the only one on this list I’m keeping- sorry, guys!
 
Putting these into smaller distinct ranks than doing them one at a time.

Bottom
10. Pinky
09. Filbert
08. Lopez

I'm not feeling these threee. Pinky I thought I'd like more honestly. I think her personality just doesn't mesh with her appearance and it bothers me. Lopez and Filbert were both in my ACNL town—the latter for seven years!—and I'm not enjoying having them again in ACNH. That was a weird realisation because if you were to ask me who my favourite villagers were before this game came out he would have been in my top three along with Lobo and Bam.
EDIT: in hindsight, these three are all dupes of another personality on my island. Maybe that's why I'm not enjoying them.

Middle

07. Norma
06. Katt
05. Anabelle
04. Sherb

I like them but I'm not attached. These are the ones I'd have to think about whether or not I'd want to let them stay or go if they asked.

Top
03. Julian
02. Wolfgang
01. Goose

These three are so hard to place that I would argue they all deserve to be joint number one. I won't be letting any move away in a hurry!
 
Prefacing this with the fact that I really do love all of my villagers but, this sounds like fun so I'm doing it anyway, and boy oh boy is this subject to change because it seems like my adoration between so many of them changes almost every week.

10. Reneigh I am just not big on her and plan to move her out to move Raymond in, I loved her for a time but, I don't really vibe too well with the Uichi personality sadly.
9. Kitty I love her oh so much but most of my love comes from loving the idea of her and Dobie being very close friends, maybe more. She's very sweet for a snooty villager because she has that older motif going on but, yeah, I think most of it is by proxy.
8. Zucker Don't shoot the messenger its just, out of my three lazy villagers, Zucker is the one I'm least close to. I wouldn't want him to move out and we vibe at the best of times but, out of the three, he and I haven't really clicked as much.
7. Audie I love her and if I had to put someone in charge of the island while I was away it'd be here and Dobie both, its just that lately we haven't really spent too much time together. She is the villager that still gives me the most presents but her sentimental value went down a little bit as my attention was drawn to a few others on my island.
6. Dobie Ahh, my cranky grandfather wolf, how I love him. He's got such interesting seemingly unique interactions from other cranky villagers because like Kitty, he has the old motif going on. More than once now Erik and I have had to convince him he's handsome and something about that just, really makes my heart feel so light. He's precious.


The Big 5
(These Explanations will be LONG)
5. Wolfgang So he may or may not have totally accidentally taken the place of Olaf for a while. Wolfgang for me, holds a lot of sentimental value as a villager. An overseas friend of mine I've known for seven years now and got to meet in person for the first time ever just last year has an oc for the game Detroit Become Human named Wolfgang, Wolf for short, and because of this, I sought Wolfgang out specifically. Not only were their names identical (thank you shakespeare) but his colors also matched well to their character's chosen aesthetic, furthermore, he's actually wearing a jacket in this game that is identical to the jacket of the character we pair their oc with, as well as his cranky personality fits the character we pair their oc with, which is hilarious. I found him yesterday while doing the camping trick for Raymond (still working on it) just as I was thinking to myself 'wait what if Wolfgang shows up' as I left my ig house to go and uknowingly greet him. It was fate.

4. Erik I paid tbt to have Erik in my original New Leaf town after becoming obsessed with him for similarly nerdish reasons. He had the same name as a character from XMEN that I liked at the time and so I wanted him badly enough to buy him. After some ridiculous frustration due to Chops moving in at the very beginning I happened upon Erik on an island and without even thinking about it much (I was supposed to be looking for Raymond) I asked him to move in. He's been like an emotional support moose for me in a lot of moments and he's the villager that visits other villagers/has other villagers visit him the most. He's wonderful, and soft, and just a beacon of DElight that I can now kind of say I grew up with.

3. Midge It became a running gag between my friend, cousin, sister, and I that I thought Midge was excruciatingly boring. I called her boring all the time, felt annoyed by her many small words shared between us both, and was really set on having her as nothing more than a placeholder for someone else to take up... but then I started to pay attention more to what she was saying, and she started to talk to me about books, and out of no where, watching her finally open up and interact with everyone else in such an oblivious innocent way, I started to adore her. Midge is like a fresh spring day with no allergies, and now the running gag is that she flirts with me accidentally, rather than she's boring, because she's not actually boring at all. If anything, she's the most fascinating villager to watch function in her innocent free spirited way.

2. Sherb Sherb is... me, I am Sherb. Sherb is a villager I was looking for from the very beginning and after two days of searching and one last (no joke the very last ticket I was willing to grind for, for a while after those two days) ticket, I finally found my baby blue boy. He's such a wanderlust person, everything about him is stupidly adorable and he doesn't even seem to realize it. Lazies are obviously my favorite villagers to have around but Sherb, boy oh boy Sherb, how does he not have more love. What is it about him that others are missing out on because, this boy is comfort one hundred percent. He's soft, he's wonderful, his house is so adorable it makes me want to cry, I just find him so endearing, I'm very lucky to have him.

1. Lyman I hate him so much. This green pest. This annoying little monster. Why. Why do I find myself so captivated by him and his tiny koala self. Why as someone who doesn't like koalas in reality am I subjected to finding so much love for this puny, precious, caring little idiot. Why is he so friendly, and open, and ridiculous in his belief that he's any semblance of buff, why does his confidence endear me so, why do I fawn over him every time I see him naruto running to and fro, why. Why do I consider this one out of all of them to be my closest companion and even almost a brother. Gosh darn it Lyman. You wonderful jerk, you perfect string bean, you pea.
 
10. Leopold (Just asked to move out)
9. Octavian
8. Yuka
7. Erik
6. Skye
5. Aurora
4. Lucky
3. Bruce
2. Ankha
1. Bella
 
10. Del. I had him in my ACNL town. Once is too many.
9. Jacques. I had him in my ACNL too, but he moved away quickly. He's still ugly.
7. Mira. I hate her face.
6. Bam. Please move so Genji can take your place.
5. Apple. You're okay, I guess. Could be better. Could be worse.
4. Zucker. His face is ugly but i like octopi.
3. Gwen. I love penguins.
2. Tia. It's a teapot. How can you not love a teapot?
1. Me. I'm beautiful.
 
I can't...I just can't....I can't...

I'll rank the villagers in terms of physical strength instead. BOO. No favoritism allowed in Somnus. (Except Mitzi. She's Mitzi.)

1. Snake - Looks like a noodly-armed boy but he's got a lot of body control and known to carry Cheri's errands and shopping bags like it was nothing. (Also, he's a ninja. He has to train.) Can lift heavy boulders and go upside down on ceilings.

2. Merengue - She doesn't look like it but she's very strong and probably, just a level lower than Snake. Her passion for baking made her strong! Carrying sacks of flour and sugar, constantly stirring and whisking in mixing bowls by hand and carrying multi-layered cake made her have great balance and stamina. In "Great Desert Island Escape" (New Leaf), Merengue can smash boulders by charging towards them. (Though, she does feel dizzy afterwards!)

3. Raymond - He's actually a very capable fighter. He doesn't look like he can fight but he really can! (Briefly participated in a martial arts club in high school) He also can lift Marshal easily (though Marshal does squirms around if he does, he finds it embarrassing.)

4. Fang - He doesn't like violence but can dish out a mean punch if cornered! Being in the Wolf family, it's natural to have more physical strength. Though due to his pacifistic personality, he would rather just sit stuff one out.

5. Jacques - Has a history of street brawling. Hates fighting nowadays, though. Also, carrying music equipment does require strength so he's quite strong.

6. Cherry - Same as Jacques, has a history of street brawling (joined an all-girls gang). Not as strong but can put up a fight.

7. Cheri - She doesn't really have a talent in any fighting or entered a sports club, her explosive anger does amplify her strength, enough to scare Snake.

8. Diana - Same as Cheri.

9. MItzi - Doesn't really have any physical strength whatsoever but has enough to carry heavy books without losing any breath.

10. Marshal - 0 physical strength, struggles to even lift a dumbell. His strength is more on his smarts.
 
1. Annalisa: the cutest and most gorgeous anteater in the world. She so unexpectedly stole my heart with her sweet personality, her elegant kimonos and wiggly tail whenever she talks to me. She is unbelievably underrated

2. Julian: I’ve never been a big fan of him in the past but I found him on an island and let’s just say that I am now a hardcore Julian stan

3. Maple: it’s Maple. What more can I say? Literally a damn teddy bear

4. Raymond: he is the trophy villager and I feel extremely blessed by the RNG gods to easily have stumbled upon him.

5. Bones: adorable goofy good boi who shares my birthday. I also had him in WW so he holds extra sentimental value.

6. Reneigh: she really ended up growing on me and she’s now my fave uchi villager. I have a particular soft spot for her especially because she was one of my starters

7. Francine: love her eyes and personality and she is so pretty. I thoroughly enjoy just looking at her

8. Fang: I do like wolves but I haven’t really bonded with him yet because I only came across him recently.

9. Erik: his design is cute but not vibing too much yet.

10. Chrissy: very cute and I like her house exterior but still haven’t really bonded with her. But I HAD to take her from an island because it seemed like fate as I found her right after Francine moved in.

6. Marina -she's a great place holder!
5. Zucker - He's cute, I like having him while I have Marina!

3. Bianca - I do really love her, but she'll probably get cut for other dreamies.
2. Tipper- She's one of my dreamies and new and I LOVE her.
1. Drago- I LOVE him.
 
10. Dom - just got him off an island, looks like his pupils dilated permanently from years of hard drugs, he should be interesting once I get to know him

8. Eugene - a greaser koala who says yeah buddy, what else can I say? he has a great design
7. Bob - another one I had in NL, his eyes look more white in this game so I guess he's finally rehabbed, he's no Punchy but I still really like him
6. Cyd - A senile old man going through his midlife biker crisis, really like his design and catchphrase, I think he's underrated
5. Audie - Did not expect to like her as much as I do, but she's really grown on me and I dont think she'll be leaving anytime soon, also pure crackhead energy
4. Kyle - He looks tired all the time so he's very relatable, also really cool looking, just dont let him near drywall
3. Lolly - The only villager that makes me feel bad for not checking in, she's just too cute lmao
2. Scoot - I love Scoot, always bragging about his little swole wings and leaving 'sweat' stains on DIY projects, he's another NL returnee and he's still as funny as ever
1. Punchy - We go all the way back to CF, I had him as a starter there and he's followed me to every game since. He's my only real dreamie that I ever look for, I love his dead stare and black and white colours, my island would be empty without him.
 
10. Anicotti - OMG she is so annoying she won't ever shut up about her pop star career.
9. Drift - Just like Anicotti but it's about fitness -_-
8. Renee - She is quite boring
7. Robin - She is also boring, but her personality doesn't bother me as much as Renee's
6. Hamlet - Just like Drift, but at least he is cute
5. Zell - I'm pretty neutral with him, I'd keep him on my island, he is pretty chill.
4. Hornsby - I really like Hornsby because he is really cute and is very nice.
3. Purrl - Purrl and I share birthdays! Purrl is also a cutie and will always be welcome on my island.
2. Raymond - Raymond is kinda like Zell, pretty chill but he is so adorable with his two-colored eyes!
1. Beau - My favorite villager of all time, Beau is so sweet and is very cute.
