So in the very first Animal Crossing game, the one on the gamecube, he could only be found on the special gameboy advance exclusive islands. In this version of the game he was the island variation of a Cranky villager, having a deep voice and being fixated on living the bachelor lifestyle (full of himself and seeing himself as the epitome of sex to women, etc.) .

After his first appearance, he isn't seen for 11 years until New Leaf is released. With the release of the game also came the unveiling of new villager personalities, with one of them being smug. Despite the cranky personality still being an option for villager personalities, the game devs decided to add o'hare back into animal crossing with the smug personality.

this decision was likely done because they didn't want to have all new villagers be smug, and be able to recycle a design that's gone unused for years to make a more diverse batch of villagers... which it probably is. But this means something to me okay.

Him going from a lifestyle that surrounded his masculinity to turning into a nerd obsessed with chiptune and anime intros paired with a higher pitched voice is very something to me.. Like i dont think I need to get into how this line from A to B could be trans-coded ... come onn he left for a DECADE and came back so different but soo similar. come on


I'm just using "trans" as a general umbrella term but honestly he could be anythang. A very genderweird rabbit who probably identifies heavily to the sea or maybe his favorite sea creature...
probably also uses neopronouns too 😈😈(projecting)


there was more i wanted to say and go more in depth on but my scattered thoughts kinda left me ... anyway this thing is awesome and is one of my fave characters ever. haveagoodday ^_^
