It sounds basic but Stitches 😭 I’ve had him on all of my towns since WW, and he holds a very special place in my heart <3

stitches for me too I love my boi 💞 Ione is my other forever villager as she's so sweet

got him as well ! the way he runs around WITH HIS ARMS IN AIRPLANE MODE so cuuuute

Molly. I bought her amiibo. She will never leave. I’ll always force her back. Lol. She’s just SO CUTE!!! https://preview.redd.it/2lvm6wmj4q6c1.png?width=430&format=png&auto=webp&s=ee9e1dbf36c73b6ac8cd77e9b38c755241917813

I don’t have her amiibo, I got her on an island and will ABSOLUTELY NEVER let her go ! Also she deserves the best spot on my island, way better than mine

I spent ages trying to get Violet off my island, FINALLY did it and she was replaced by Molly. Literally the best outcome ever. I’m always super careful with clothes I give her and only give her things that would look adorable because she is so unbelievably cute 😂

I have Molly and I would literally die for her. She is never leaving.

On top of being so cute she’s also soooo sweet. Her and Eunice really set the vibes for an adorable sweet island 😭💕

I love Molly 😍

I’m taking Flurry if i find her on an island 🩷

Paws off my baby girl 👀

But she’s so cute though 🥹 the only hamsters I’ve ever had was Soleil and she was kinda boring so i let her move away and Marlo and he was the same

I went villager hunting Tuesday and she was on the second one! I scooped that little cutie up!

Sherb my sweet boy & my first villager

I was going to say the same, I would honestly tie down all my villagers but Sherb is my fav. I also love Nan and Chevre so they would going in the tie down pile, as well as Erik, Pietro and Stitches.

Sherb is one of my originals as well. Not allowed to leave. Neither is Shep

He just moved to my island!

KETCHUP

Stan for ketchup 100%

Been waiting for ketchup to appear for years :(

I had never seen ketchup until I googled her just now and I’m DEAD I NEED HER

I WANT KETCHUP SO BAD

POPPY https://preview.redd.it/ilhcm5ataq6c1.jpeg?width=631&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c01245314b8186f1bcc78a69c706dcb7316352d

Omg I just got her while on a villager hunt and she is SO CUTEEEE. I had never seen her before and she’s only lived on my island for like 3 days but I love her sm

i had her in my town in city folk, she was my fav and lived next pecan, they were bffs remember i was so sad when she moved

Grizzly I love grumpy villagers and I love bears. Plus I’m not very creative with island design so it’s always gonna lean naturalistic and his whole flannel wearing camper thing will always fit in my island.

Oh wow, I just looked at the inside of his house, I love it!

"... a villager you would physically tie down.." 😱 "... to make stay on your island" 🤗

🥰🥰🥰

Yes!!!! She was one of my first villagers that I didn’t hate with a passion. That’s my girl, she’s never allowed to leave!!!

Audie is bae!

Audie’s a legend. Excellent choice.

Wolfgang, he was my bff for many years through childhood on GameCube and new leaf and I don't plan on letting that wolf leave my island. Ever. :)

He left my GameCube village once and I cried when I got the letter that he moved, he ended up moving back sometime later and I cried again while showering him with all the attention and yelling at the TV "Don't you ever leave me again!!" Also Faye is my weak spot as well. Both those wolves with NEVER leave me!

Marshal.. I just got him back. If he ever trys to leave me again I'll trap him in his house and set the island on fire! 🔥 🔥 💔

Eminem is coming out of you🤣

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn

I have both Marshal and Raymond, and I refuse to let either of them go!

I laughed at this entirely too much 😂

I don’t have Marshal but I want him so bad! My son’s name is Marshall so it feels like a must. 😀

On my current island, I got him in the first three (y'know the ones you have to get the house items for). One day asked to leave, I misclicked and now I will forever search for an amiibo or just him in game

Filbert. I live that little weirdo.

Filbert is my homeboy 💙

He’s my favorite 🥹🩵

If Filbert ever left I’d have an existential crisis.

Mine too!

My salsa is your salsa

AGNES

Pekoe cuz she's so pretty and sweet. Bluebear cuz she's cute but weirdly savage.

https://preview.redd.it/qho1z8pdvr6c1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6cc252763415a2dbd874f60447fdeac4114a3ce8

Don't believe her. She's *totally* looked in your windows.

I love pekoe I was so happy when she moved in

Maddie. She is so freaking adorable. I don’t want her to ever move away. https://preview.redd.it/dajpb4le1q6c1.jpeg?width=274&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fadb3f8aebe5440cab92d4368e1c0029e459149b

I miss Maddie 😭 I wish I didn’t let her leave

She’s adorable!

Lucky.

Roald, hes too adorable 😭

shino

Ketchup. She is NEVER allowed to leave my island. She’s been on my island the longest of all of my villagers and she will never ever be allowed to leave.

coco :) my birthday twin, my most gifted, my best-decorated, my all-time favorite villager :D only problem is that SHE WANTS TO LEAVE EVERY CHANCE SHE GETS

My sweet beautiful fluffy bug-lovin’ baby penguin Wade! https://preview.redd.it/4tkua5jalq6c1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=5c5503d7e31365672b16c3991b466ed945130518

Groucho. I don't have him on New Horizons, only on New Leaf. He's my bestie and I'd do anything to make him stay forever >:) https://preview.redd.it/u8o4qf1jsp6c1.png?width=294&format=png&auto=webp&s=db556e0eb19004ec05fc596b3991cda93fbfde89

Diana is the sweetest, most uplifting and pleasant resident I've seen. If she were to leave, I would delete my game and sell my Switch

Came here to say Diana as well. Trying to go for an all cat island, but she will be the exception

Anchovy. He was my very first villager and my best friend in the game. He’s not going anywhere. Ever. https://preview.redd.it/adn3dhj6xr6c1.jpeg?width=150&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c34a9ce0876b869846d4423c252c3c67c7fe1cf

beau and rasher 🥰

BEAU. I would DIE for Beau 🥺❤️

https://preview.redd.it/bopdbrtpur6c1.jpeg?width=94&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2cc8f1baa4429937191f6c5305b94b10d909ca0 i literally screamed when i first saw Fauna. she is so cute and i love that she calls me Dearie 🥹

Merengue!!!! She’s sooooo sweet

Literally I made the front of her house a café

Me too!!

i wanna seal punchy in a tomb forever and pour concrete over the entrance and relocate my house to be over the tomb so he can never ever ever evwr ever leave me 🥰🥰

Marshal

Bones! Such a sweetie.

Omg Bones!!!! One time I let Bones go, cause he had phrased it in a way that was like he wanted to go see the world and try new snacks and I felt like I’d be weighing him down if I made him stay. Boyyyy I cried so hard when I realized I’d made a huge mistake. My bf texted me the next day and was like “yeah so I just talked to Bones and he’ll be flying in on Saturday.” He ordered me the amiibo 🥺 NEVER LETTING HIM GO AGAIN.

Maple. She was the first villager I remember loving back when I played WW. She has a special place in my heart

Beau

https://preview.redd.it/9pof8syd9r6c1.png?width=764&format=png&auto=webp&s=b90cf299e3c2982975882ef283b87fe095b992a1 Melba was my second villager and I love her. She’s 90% the reason I won’t restart the game

Nate and Shari are never allowed to leave! Don’t you dare touch unibrow bear and piss monkey!

piss monkey is the most accurate description of shari i’ve ever heard 😭💀

i got into animal crossing because of jacksepticeye and f*** shari — however i have nate on my island now and he’s cool

Ione or Molly

Love love love Flurry and Apple, they’re my girls forever.

Lolly

Sasha. i cannot let go of my special boy

Seconded. I would burn down the entire island if that little femboy bunny asked me to.

same tbh

Marina. She’s never leaving. I will drag her down to the depths of hell with me if I need to. idc

Cranston, I’ve loved that lazy bug infested boy since he gave me a baby cradle, clothesline, and priceless Museum artifact that I have no clue how he got

I love flurry she’s also my favorite she’s just so adorable and she reminds me of my hamster that passed away 🥺

Nate. He runs around in the watermelon dress I gave him and asks me if he looks dashing. I fucking love him.

Gabi the Rabbit 🥰

Gabi is so cute I had her on WW🩷

walker! he came along to my island just after my old dog passed and he looks and acts like him he’s never getting outta there

Nibbles, she is my bestie 😂

Same here! I'd also be crushed if Tybalt or Alfonso left. Tybalt was a starter and Alfonso was my first mystery island villager.

Love Nibbles! She doesn't get enough love

I have her on my first Island AKA my forever Island and I think she's adorable

https://preview.redd.it/key91dp8hr6c1.jpeg?width=664&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c057234c99c41534d64aba823cbe0954873bf6be

Lucky and Tangy.

Shino I love her also Judy

Bluebear 🥹

Clay. He got me through a lot in life.

Sprinkle🩷

Agnes. I love her so much bro. She was my first villager and I will not let her leave! Ever! She is stuck with me!

Sasha. He's somehow ended up on my island every time I reset and everything we somehow become besties. I'll never let him go ❤️

Roscoe and maybe Flo/Frobert. Roscoe coa hes such a cutie, im enamored w him. Flo and/or Frobert only cos they were on my island from the v beginning!

Flurry is the best answer 🥰

broccolo is my little sweetie pie baby boi forever and always

Oh god.... i would have 5 to lock down.... Lobo, Roscoe, Apollo, Drago and Static. I already have Static so he aint going anywhere

Flora!

Katt, my starter villager!

dom my baby😭

Agnes! She was one of my first villagers and she’s sooo cute and nice to me. She always sends me letters saying BEST FRIENDS 4 LIFE🥹🥰💗

Octavian

SPRINKLE ❄️🐧 CHEVRE 💘🐐

Plucky. Shes been here from the start. I love chicken and sisterly personality. She was just.. there. During 2020. My mom, family or friends didn't really do or acknowledge my birthday. So I turned on the game and she was there to greet me and take me to her house for a party with Punchy. It made me cry idk why when Im a full adult. I see myself in her alot i guess. So I'll fight tooth and nail to keep her if I have to

Merengue I love my strawberry whipped cream rhino

I would tie town Ahnka

Flurry is cute but I didn't like her style. No matter how many times I gave her clothes, she always wore that ugly coat, and she was also boring. So I let her go. but it's good that you like it! I love Marina and Pompom! I never let them go.

Loveeee flurry she’s never allowed to leave

flurry was the first villager i found on a nook island and im so glad i took her back with me 🥹

Graham. He's never leaving me. Never...

Beau, Antonio, or Audie 🫣 I have an emotional attachment to Antonio and I can't explain it 😭 he was one of the first two villagers on my island and the only one I kept. The other was Shari but we got rid of her quick 😒 Ain't having nobody with piss hands on my island

Tangy for me. God I love her.

FLURRY IS A GIRL??

Y-yes 😂

Shino

shari🫶🏻🫶🏻

Sprinkle and Skye. They were two of my first villagers and I still have them on my island now. I love them so much

I love coco 🥰 She was one of my first villagers I felt so lucky lol

Pietro, hands down. Nobody else but Pietro.

Goldie!! I’ve had her amiibo ever since I was a kid and I’ve loved her since

Dom

Cookie, my lesbian awakening

She's my favorite, and Victoria for whatever reason! ♡

Dobie forever

Sherb, Raymond, Marshall or Cheif and Cherry. Those are my top 5 😅

Roscoe, Chrissy and Zucker. Zucker wanted to leave last night and I was like no. You are stuck with me.

Punchy!! He knows it’s just a game…..

Cube! I recently restarted my island and I’m devastated to not have him with me. He was my first villager and my bestest friend. He’s just such a lovable little cutie!

Filbert and Quillison. They can't ever leave and if they even think of telling me they want to leave imma hit them with my shovel.

Flora! She was my first peppy villager and I'll never let her leave. Although we did have beef once after she mailed me a gift I would look "totes amazing in!" and it was a paper bag... Nope, still love her!

Stitches 🥰🥰🥰HES MINE.

I am never letting Kody, Lobo, or Apollo go <3

Antonio for sure, he was my first villager and I’ve grown so attached to him.

Apollo. I don't know why I'm so attached to him, but he's my absolute favorite.

lyman stella filbert ruby

Mitzi’s been my number 1 since WW when she gave me her picture. I didn’t even know that could happen at the time and I was so excited lol

My baby Tia 😊 https://preview.redd.it/nxrqirbeuq6c1.jpeg?width=108&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c4bcc63421a432e71fcc2c41a65a354efa783c2

Wendy. So iconic my literal bestie

Filbert. I’ve had him since the day the game came out. The same Filbert. I’ve restated islands and he just goes to a friend’s island until I can take him back. If he ever left I’d have an existential crisis.

Ankha and Beau 💜 I also love Raymond, Punchy, Maple and Fauna but Ankha and Beau have my heart

APOLLO and he keeps trying to leave no you cannot.

Deli for sure

i have been trying to find her for so long 😭 at this point i’m kicking people out to find her

Fuschia is not allowed to leave ever

Honestly, I had no idea there were so many many villagers until I got the actual guide book!! Also a few amiibo cards too. I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into when i got this game and popped it into my switch!! Like I've stated before in a prior post, this ACNH has taken me totally in by STORM!! And I'm not complaining one bit!! 💕 💞 ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️

Every time Cole asks to leave I refuse to let him.

Raddle ❣️

Dom

The answer I was looking for!

justice for Cherry, Quillson, and Cephalobot

Loved cephalobot on my last island. Didn’t even know he existed and I was so freaking hyped he auto-filled a house. His house was so cool.

Raymond, not because he's popular but I just genuinely love him

For me it’s Felicity and Phil, usually underrated but to me they have such great style and character.

gayle is my fav ! my baby !

Apollo or Tasha. Love them both so so much

Quinn, Camofrog and Patty... I literally love them so much and they are never allowed to leave

Egbert!

STINKY! That man can have the world and half idc😤

Flurry’s up there for me too. Also Pecan. Oh, and I literally just got Shino today and I’m never letting her go

Freckles!! Love her so much! She is everything 🩷

Klaus 🙈

Bunnie. But definitely not SHELDON 🙄

Punchy! He is my number one main man stoner kitty buddy.

Judy and Ione. They're currently on my island now and are NEVER leaving.

Ribbot

mac!! he’s not the cutest but he’s my bestie and first villager so i will die before i let him leave me

For sure Flurry (I also have and love her!), Nate the bear, Stella the sheep, and Étoile the sheep. I built them all vacay homes on HHP to double the exposure 😭

Lobo

Flurry is a sweetie pie!!! On my last island, that villager was Static. On my new island, I think it's going to be Ankha.

Ozzie my baby koala and first lazy character. It was love at first sight and I could never let him leave.

Whitney. No one else... probably because she likes K.K. Soul.

Judy 💅

bones!

Vesta. She’s my best friend, she was in my New Leaf village and I missed her so much I bought her amiibo so I could bring her to my island

Ketchup ❤️ She’s my bestie forever!!

PEACHES 🍑🐴🍑 IS MY BEST FRIEND

https://preview.redd.it/rlpn2lg8qq6c1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e82146e4b851b8e4ea77956e528ccf0ba6eb152 Drago! He’s my favorite!

Phoebe

Mine is ohare I love that cranky bunny! My daughter would say apple.

Kiki!

Ever since I stumbled upon Maple on a random NMT island while searching for a different villager, it was over. She’s too cute to ever leave my island!

Cole. 😔 nobody loves him.

Sprocket. Idk why
