The Rodney Appreciation Thread

[Chungus]

As a general rule of thumb, it's much better to come to an appreciation thread with positivity vs. negativity. I did ask the "why" in the original post, but I invite only polite discourse. It's okay to dislike something and still be polite in your response!

Spread the good vibes, everyone.

It's about time Rodney gets some appreciation. I had him in New Leaf, and he is adorable. He's one of my favorites.

I used to not like Rodney at all but thanks to this thread and @Le Ham’s screenshots, I am happy to say I have officially joined the Rodney fan club. I think @NefariousKing inviting him to Animal Cit* in the Woods was one of the best decisions ever.

Dressing up Rodney for a mini project at Harv’s studio (Tangy Clown and Pirate Army) was a lot of fun too. Since he was given a instant muscles suit at his welcoming party and a pair of pink funny glasses at the Woods...

He actually looks pretty good in the instant muscle suit or at least from this angle.


In case anyone is interested in the full version, you can find them here.

Spoiler: Tangy Clown and Pirate Army Project

Rodney was not happy about his friend being buried or another being eaten in the woods, hence is why he became a crew and ally to me and Punchy’s crew. Rodney is the next King of the Pirates and protector of food looking villagers

Wow, I've just realised I've never saw Rodney in my life until now and never knew he existed.. I thought you were all talking about Rod the mouse at first before I clicked on this thread and saw the pictures! But he's definitely not a bad villager at all! His freckles are cute and I love his colours! Plus all these pictures are all precious!

Something about this moment was just funny to me

Rodney is so cute! Honestly I am having second thoughts of an all-ostrich island after seeing his adorable baby <3

Yesterday, Isabelle announced that there was a villager in the campsite. I was a little scared it would be someone who I hate, but I was pleasantly surprised when the best hamster in the whole entire world appeared! Rodney! I kept talking to him until he agreed to replace Deli. Now we're going to have an adorable new neighbor on Oceanwave!

Ahhh, congratulations! Please share any and all pictures you take of the lovely boy with us. We'd love to see him!

Speaking of pictures, I took a few cute pics of me and Rodney sitting together. I'll attach them to this post below. I couldn't choose just one since each picture tells a different story.

I have Rodney as my first campsite villager and on my island. He’s growing on me a little.

Hahaha this is my thread!!
Rodney was one of the randoms that moved into my island before I knew how that all worked. I HATED him. Would beat him with the net when I was frustrated with the game. Some other villager gave him a baby romper and he wears it CONSTANTLY. Ugh. But... as time went on, I started to kinda like him. He really grew on me. Now I think I'll keep him because... well.. just look haha
