[@Dubstequtie]

If you don't want to read their wiki to see their story since it's too "cut and dry", I think another good way to interpret a villager's personality/history a more creative way is their first happy paradise home. Chief for example was a really cute one for me, his first happy paradise home he wanted a garage to paint cars in or something. I see him as a car guy/crafty refurbisher.

[@ColorxConfused]

The true chaos comes from having multiple Cranky villagers. I had Del and Boris (Boris is amazing btw), and they started talking so I walked up to see what they were both upset about, and they started having a CRANKY COMPETITION. Like they kept saying “you’re the more cantankerous one” “you’re such a pain in the ass” like just going in on each other. Then they turned to ME and asked me who I thought was the least problematic. I said I liked them both and they both BROKE DOWN CRYING. Because they felt loved. And then they walked away calm and cool as cucumbers. And I was left with this interaction ingrained in my being. So honestly, bring in Chief and Apollo.

[@daylightsleeptight]

[@speedymunchlax5733]

I haven't laughed this hard in a while. This is honestly what this series needed. Something completely fresh. A personality that creates itself and stands out. That accent is a MUST, it's a part of Chief now.

[@thecheezitfaerie]

Amanda, be GLAD you didn't have the choice to get Wolfgang. He's a life-ruiner. We were together and then he cheated on me with my Ankha, so I finally started dating Beau after being buddies for so long. Now seeing I'm no longer single, he's been giving me gifts and asking me to go to K.K.'s concert with him while still throwing glances at Ankha. So glad you avoided a train wreck like him.

I know we all thank you endlessly for gettin us through tough times in our lives with your videos, but I’d like to reiterate that again. My 10 year old pit, Mr. Bill Murray, had to go in for emergency surgery Wednesday morning. They couldn’t fix him, we didn’t get to say goodbye. He’s been our shadow, gone everywhere with us, from the moment I found him in a gutter on a 105° day when he was 5 weeks old, EVERYWHERE. I’ve never felt an emptiness this endless and can’t function, can’t eat, can’t sleep, and then my Mom got rushed to the ER Friday night and we can’t see her. The only reprieve I’ve had to get out of my head is my fiancé streaming yours and Trixie and Katya’s videos nonstop on the TV. It’s funny how certain insights you have about animals pop up out of nowhere at just the right moment. I feel like I’m trauma dumping, but just want you know how appreciated your work is. Like more than you’ll ever know. So thank you. So, so much. 💔🖤❤️‍🩹

[@thomasinajefferson9971]

[@aacerr_]

Chief is a permanent resident of my island. I love him so much. Also, as someone with a southern twang, pls don’t discriminate against us!! Lol. So often people with southern accents are immediately written off as either uneducated or bigoted (same thing, really). But I promise we are nice! We just wanna bake you a pie ‘n have you over for dinner! Lol. Love you. Hope Chief sticks around for a while!! I think he will grow on you! ❤️

[@Mary-sy8ox]

27:28 tecnically there are sub categories for every personality, I think that depends on the hobbie of the villagers.

[@DrivingAway1]

wut

[@numbuhbee]

There are, but only two I believe (a nd b for each type).

[@pocketscarf]

Chief!! He was my favorite villager in Wild World cause my childhood dog was also named Chief. It broke my heart when he moved away. My long lost bestie... I haven't had him as a villager ever since, though I'm still searching. I know I could get an amiibo for him these days, but it feels wrong somehow. Low key love the idea of him being a chill country/southern musician type like Dolly Parton, haha. Maybe that's why he moved away never to return. He had big dreams to fulfil.

[@Baileybearly]

Your videos are making me realize how much drama is truly happening on my island rn. Like there's so much

[@bigkevinm84]

I'm so excited that you have a cranky villager again and have all the personality types! I've been hoping you'd add a cranky for a while now. I went a few months without a snooty after Tipper left and found Claudia in 9 tickets who I wanted. I've been watching you for months and love your videos. My girlfriend, before we started dating, used to have Chief as her bf (on New Leaf) like you have Kyle as yours. He's pretty cool. We have Lobo on our island.

[@Candytime9]

ACNH is my first AC game so I didn't know about villager personalities when i started. When I came across my first cranky villager while hunting, Static (he was on the first island i went to that time), I loved his cute purple little self. Then i talked to him and was so thrown off, the only other deep voice I had heard was Wilbur. Hearing that deep voice and old man phrases from cute little Static was strange but he has become my favourite. Also I often find him and Marshal singing in the town square so my headcannon is that Marshal often visits his grandpa and they like to sing together.

[@andrewb6461]

I mean you COULD interpret Chief’s voice as a thick Irish accent, since people who have that accent tend to drop the g’s off of ing words (Idk if this makes it any better lmao).

[@MelanieGarnett331]

Chief definitely gives someone’s southern grandfather 😩😂😂

[@c1nnamodoll]

(in country twang accent) chief is just a sweet little farmer boy who grew up an' made a rich man of himself ain't he. he up an' left that ole farm he grew up on, moved to the biggole city an' gussied himself up a grand ole' c.e.o ! an' as they say, you can take the boy outta the farm life, but you cant take the farm life outta the boy. underneath all that prettyboy, hes just a sweet lil' peach farmer at heart. 'course, now he's up an' left that prim'n'proper life for a quaint lil' island, maybe now that he's not surroundin' himself with all them cityfolk he's findin' his accent ain't never left him in the first place.

[@c1nnamodoll]

I was villager hunting and came across Chief, mistaking him for Audie; 2020 was the first time I ever played animal crossing, so it was an honest mistake. By the time I realized, Chief had already moved in. I was gonna bully him off my island but ended up falling in love with him. Ger him a leather jacket, he looks best in those. Plus with happy home, I was able to redecorate his entire house. I made one wall a museum wall so he could continue his art hobby.

So each villager personality has two subtypes. A or B. With the cranky villagers in particular, I believe subtype B makes them even more "older". Ironically, Roscoe and Chief are in the B subtype group. But Rooney is not- he's A.

I had Chief on my first island forever before I lost the save data. :( Julian was my island's resident Slut (affectionate), and he was CONSTANTLY trying to hit on Chief, like he was trying to be the twink to Chief's daddy, but Chief remained completely oblivious. XDD Personally, I love Chief a lot, and I think he has a more grunge/punk side to him than you're giving him credit for. His HHP request is for a garage to hang out with his friends in, which imo is very sweet, so while he may be Southern, I think he's the good kind, not the Confederate type at all.
