Villagers you had no interest in that changed completely

zucker. i had no interest in him in new leaf and didnt really care for him - but now that i have him on my island, i love him a lot and plan on keeping him permanently ;u;
 
Lily. I initially adopted her with plans of trading her away, but I now adore her to bits. She's so tiny and sweet!
 
Murphy for me. This is my first time having him and I would never let him go now...lol
Agreed with murphy, instantly obsessed when he visited my camp.

I also became surprisingly interested in these guys when i found them on random islands! Didn't take them but they're definitely some of my new favorites:

what cuties !!
 
When I first got Zucker from a NMT (he was one of my first villagers) I was taking him just because I wanted more villagers on my island (this was back when I still only had the original two). I knew he was at least somewhat sought-after, but I didn't really get the appeal myself. He grew on me very quickly because he's just so darn cute.
 
Rolf! I used to think all the tigers were not so cute but ever since he moved in on my island, he replaced wolfgang as my favorite cranky. He's so adorable and I love him! The pink under his eyes is so cute
 
Dom! He was one of my starter villagers and I absolutely hated him. I dont know why, maybe cause hes a jock and sporty and I'm so not into that. But gradually I started talking to him and hes soooo sweet! I love seeing him run around the island, he always doing that. And whenever I leave his house he has this cute little 2 hoofed wave 😍

I don't go on mystery islands now cause I have all my dreamies, but I still live popping into the campsite tent whenever theres a visitor cause there are so many villagers with unique designs in this game!
 
I just met katt at my campsite yesterday while tting and I never had any interest until recently. I had started wanting to give her a chance after seeing a lot of cute pictures of her or hearing how much some other players love her. Meeting her a campsite has deepened that interest. Sure she doesn’t have the appeal to me like Punchy or the other cats, but I see now that she is cute in her own way ^.^. definitely looking forward to inviting her eventually. sadly I have no room since I’m trying to get cyd to give me one or two pictures before letting him leave and am working on getting at least one more from dom (don’t really want dom to leave even though he’s not a dreamie really).
 
Barold. He definetly has never crossed my mind in previous games. I think I would even say he was hideous in new leaf. For some reason, I became open about adopting him here in new horizon and now I love him. He is one of my favorite villagers. I have Raymond in my town as well ( and well, Barold is higher on my list of favorite villagers).
Ahhh he has a particular face, but he is adorable!
 
Well, I wouldn't say I was completely uninterested, but Purrl showed up at my campsite a few days ago. I was in need of a snooty (I have been for the vast majority of my island's existence lol) and I wasn't expecting to have a cat on my island, but there she was. I took that opportunity to finally boot Monty, my starter cranky.

So far Purrl has shown promise. She's not quite as unique as Astrid, one of my old snooties, was, but she's much easier than Astrid to fit into my island theme. She might be a keeper. Her clothing preferences (gray/blue, elegant/cool) and high-pitched voice give her a fun, youthful feel (unlike so many snooties that come off as middle-aged to elderly and too rich to care about your problems), and despite her rather plain antique-set house I think she looks great in kimonos, so I may re-decorate her to have a more Japanese aesthetic and fit her nicely into my bamboo area. Cute kitty.
 
Marshal and Sherb lol. I know they’re two of the most popular villagers but I didn’t see the appeal at first.

My love for Marshal came when I was looking for a new smug (to replace my forced smug Huck 🤢) and realised that Marshal was the only one that appealed to me and matched my aesthetic (woodlands/forest).

I met Sherb on a mystery island (21st ticket!) and I knew I had to take him even though I already had two lazies (Beau and Punchy). Beau and Punchy have now gone, but Sherb remains because I couldn’t say no to that adorable face.
 
So happy to see this thread come around again, because I think I’m unexpectedly coming to love a relatively unpopular villager again. After swearing off cranky villagers altogether, and even passing up little Hamphrey, who I though of all of them I might like, among about a dozen others while island hopping lately, this guy showed up at my campsite:

Once I get some picture uploaded I will update this because it does not do him justice!

I’m very free about inviting people from the campsite and I’ve gotten a lot of villagers that way, partly just because them being in my campsite automatically makes me more curious about/ interested in them, and partly because I have been trying to experience having a lot of different villagers before I get to a point where it is hard for me to let anyone go.

so I invited him mostly because I have a weird love for the bear villagers, thinking worse came to worse I’d just let him leave ASAP, not looking forward to having a cranky again...

Guys, I am starting to really love him. He just looks so cuddly and cute (esp in the sweater I gave him) he’s so fluffy looking and I love watching him check out the flowers.

and...now for the first time I regret something from an older game not being in this one. I mostly think of my villagers as childlike and therefore don’t think of them having romantic relationships and kids and what not. But I kinda wish Poko was in this game so I could have the duo 😭

anyway, I don’t know what it is about him but he’s just so cuddly! If you haven’t checked out the cranky bears, they are some great options.

hope it is okay to quote myself from elsewhere: there are a few different takes on a similar theme floating about and they are all fun.

TL;DR (which I really should just have as my title or permanent signature...) —

I invited Ike from the campsite on a whim and now I am starting to love him and we’ll see how it goes, but it could end up changing my ‘final lineup’ plans yet again. Also, he is very cuddly.
 
When I first saw Egbert was moving in, I was very sad. I hated him and just the chickens in general. But then when he moved in, I saw him doing the Naruto run and it was just so adorable! I think I'll be keeping him forever now!

I somehow overlooked this adorable little guy but once I met him I had to invite him to the island. He is adorable and incredibly sweet, I also love how he and Bluebear match aesthetically.
 
There’s a lot of villagers I come to love at the beginning of every new game, without really knowing much about them. I always become attached to my starters without having many villagers in mind to replace them. In new horizons it was Ursala. I noticed that there’s only a few uchi villagers that are regularly mentioned by the community, and Ursala was definitely not one of them so I kinda overlooked her despite how cute she is (Hazel, Shari, and Phoebe have been my only uchi loves). But Ursala was a starter on my island I love her so much. She looks like a big cuddly bear that could also punch you in the face.
 
Huck, the frog with the funny face! I knew of him from when the welcome amiibo update was released, but he never really registered with me. Now he's moved to my island and I love this funny little guy! :J
 
I was seeing all these hate posts for Pietro cause he is a clown :( and I have never had him before in animal crossing but I thought he was adorable. So today I finally got him from a lovely user here and he is just so cute. I love all the sheep in animal crossing ❤
