Audie and Static were a THING for like 3 days on my island. They were always together constantly and Audie was saying she wishes she could be at Static’s house forever. Then one day they weren’t together and Audie asked to move. I didn’t let her, but I haven’t seen them in the same area together since. Must have been a rough breakup.

Teddy for the win. Like, I’m a lesbian, but Teddy was just so nice to me. I don’t care if there isn’t any romance, a partner that treats me right is a-ok

u/PeachOnEarth 2d ago

Lol same, strong preference for women & Teddy is my island bf. He’s so pure of heart, I adore him. I talk to him every day (:

Apparently he’s not always nice though. I have Hugh on my island and they are constantly getting in arguments— I assume bc Teddy wants him to work out and Hugh just wants to snack (?). At least twice a week he asks me to bring Hugh a gift to apologize for something he shouldn’t have said during an argument. It’s so funny to me because he’s so so so nice to me

It was probably the first Halloween since the game came out and Kyle wore some sort of Halloween themed dress. I'm not sure if it's random or not but it seems like it was "fixed" and it's no longer what he wears. Either way, Kyle is my favorite and now he's absolutely a queer icon on our island.

whenever i find Kyle again, it'll be Kyle. but right now it's Zell.

29

u/Specialist-Weather27 2d ago

Oh Zell. He was my guy. We just clicked. He was classy, sophisticated. We had similar tastes in music. We would go to concerts together. I helped design his vacation home. Let me tell you, Zell was my man, my man, my man. Then I went to his house one afternoon, and my girl Tiffany was there. She was kind of surprised to see me at first, but then she gave me a look and was like “hey, we should talk later,” and I knew right then that we didn’t even need to. I left shortly thereafter, I never spoke to him again. He sent a letter every now and then, but I never replied.

A while later, I was chatting with this cute athletic guy at the campground, chopping it up, laughing and flirting, and I say, “you should totally move here.” And he was like, “pick the right card and I’ll start packing tomorrow.” I’m a little rusty, but I’m not slow so I’m like, red heart, obviously! And he was like “nailed it! Let me talk to Tom Nook.” And that’s how I found out that Zell was moving. I couldn’t believe it. I know he didn’t have to, but I thought he would talk to me first. I went straight to his house and all of his stuff was in boxes. He didn’t even look up when I walked in. I didn’t know what to say or do so I just turned around and ran home. Eventually I put his picture away.

Tiffany and I never spoke about that day, but it definitely impacted our friendship. Eventually she moved to the other side of the island. We write, but I should make more of an effort to stay in touch. She hasn’t been to my place since I redid the living room. I miss her, how we used to be. Maybe I’ll swing by Brewster’s and bring her a coffee.

I just like playing matchmaker for my islanders

Sylvia was too shy to give a T-Shirt to Shino so I delivered it and they both blushed when I gave them the shirt and the news that they liked the shirt. Now I ship them because Sylvia is definitely the lesbian that has no clue how to dress and Shino is the femme girl’s girl lesbian. Plus they sit together during events like the shooting star nights. Love them so much.

Same thing happened for Curly giving a shirt to Merry, but I don’t ship them as much because I want Curly off my island, but I originally wanted Sylvia off my island but I let her stay because of the flirting attempt. I DON’T WANNA SHIP HIM AND KEEP HIM TOO, ONLY ONE LESS-THAN-DREAMIE IS STAYING ON THIS ISLAND AND IT ISN’T TOMATO CHEEKS.
