Of course the idea of Tomodachi Life isn't to stick your favorite crack ship on an island and make them get married. No! The idea is to put ALL your crack ships on the island and make them get married! Also canonical fictional ships that make you happy!

The first ten residents of Valinor, shown in various multicolored boxes in a sort of Mondrian vibe.

The early population of Valinor: Yibo, XZ, Li Qin, Zhang Jingyi, Fei Du, Wang Yang (but just his facial features...), Luo Wenzhou, Wei Wuxian, Zhu Yilong, and Lan Wangji.

The same ten Valinor residents pictured in film strip picture format.

Another group photo: Yibo, XZ, Li Qin, Zhang Jingyi, Fei Du, Luo Wenzhou, Wang Yang, Zhu Yilong, Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian.

I forgot how to take screenshots on the Switch, so a lot of the very early stuff wasn't documented, but one of the first major events was Luo Wenzhou's birthday.

Li Qin announcing Luo Wenzhou's 34th birthday on Mii News. She is sitting behind a news desk and looks very professional.

(I picture Fei Du snickering in the background about his menopausal not-yet-boyfriend. More on their extremely slow burn later.)

Fei Du, Luo Wenzhou, and Xiao Zhan at a table. There are balloons and flags decorating the surrounding area, and there's a birthday cake with a miniature Luo Wenzhou and some candles. Sgt. Luo is wearing a party hat.

They made him a cake! Interestingly, he's the only person so far on the island to have had an in-game birthday. I guess Yibo will be next, as his birthday's coming up in August.

A Mii version of Lan Wangji plays with a rabbit in a teahouse-style room.

I acquired a pet rabbit in a mini-game and of course IMMEDIATELY had to add Lan Wangji so he could adopt it.

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian practice yoga on the beach against a beautiful tropical sunset background.

Obviously that meant Wei Wuxian had to join the crew, as well.

Seen from above, a portrait of Lan Wangji made from flowers. Text says, "I love your eyes, Lan Zhan, so I paid special attention to recreate them."

Wei Wuxian confesses his feelings on the ferris wheel by creating a portrait of his soulmate in flowers.

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian in their kitchen. LWJ is wearing a light blue T-shirt that says Gusu Lan. WWX is wearing a red T-shirt that says Yiling Laozu

I made them custom T-shirts.

LWJ and WWX sit on the floor in an ornate Chinese-style room with latticework and some fun urns and statues. Text says, "I actually have something really important that I wanted to talk about."

A proposal!

LWJ stands with shocked eyes staring at a copy of MDZS sitting on the floor next to him. WWX is seated, also staring, waiting for his proposal.

Honestly, the most hilarious proposal fail ever, as LWJ reaches in his pocket for his bouquet of flowers and a copy of MDZS falls out...

LWJ holding out a bouquet of red roses to WWX.

Ah!! Success!!

LWJ and WWX at their wedding, in white tuxedos, holding a bouquet of flowers.

Happily married.

WWX and LWJ enclosed in a heart. Text says, Lan Wangji & Wei Wuxian's Honeymoon Galapagos Islands Tour.

They honeymooned in the Galapagos Islands.

In the meantime, romance sparks between Wang Yang and Zhu Yilong.

Miis of Zhu Yilong and Wang Yang sitting at a table on a meadow. Their relationship status says WY is In Love, and ZYL Wants to marry! Text at the bottom says, "They're in their own little world on a relaxing date."

And between Li Qin and Zhang Jingyi:

Li Qin says, "I'm in love with Zhang Jingyi! I want to shout it from a mountaintop!"

Their wedding:

Zhang Jingyi, with purple hair, and Li Qin, both in wedding dresses, holding a bouquet of flowers. Text at the bottom says, "La la la! With KK Writer as their guide..."

Guests at the wedding:

Guests at the wedding: LWJ, Wang Yang, Yibo, Xiao Zhan, Zhu Yilong, and Park Jimin with long blonde hair as God intended. Text at the bottom says, "these lucky two stand side-by-side"

Jimin is present, I see, presaging the soon-to-come BTS invasion.

The happy couple with two hula dancers in the background, silhouetted against an extravagant sunset.

Looks like they honeymooned in Hawaii.

Zhu Yilong and Wang Yang in tuxedos holding a bouquet of flowers.

The Zhu Yilong/Wang Yang nuptials.

The honeymoon couple wearing straw hats and posing in front of some ornate ruins, maybe in Cambodia?

I didn't keep very good track of their honeymoon. I think this is the Southeast Asia tour?

So, there's the first batch of couples. I also wanted to hook up Fei Du and Luo Wenzhou, obviously, but they kept not falling for each other. I was getting very frustrated, then I looked at their romance settings.

On his initial setup, I accidentally made Fei Du heterosexual........

Thank God that was easily fixable.

Next time, probably some combination of the first few children born on the island and the BTS invasion, which practically doubled the population.
