Torrentgame – All an Animal Crossing: New Horizons player wanted was a candid snapshot of one of their beloved villagers, but Diana the snooty deer had other plans. In this cosy Nintendo classic, players often catch their villagers interacting with the environment, creating endless opportunities for perfect photoshoots on their beautifully decorated islands. These moments allow fans to capture memories with their favourite characters, making the game feel personal and immersive.
However, Reddit user songofbrokenpines69 learned the hard way that getting the perfect picture isn’t always as easy as it seems. They had their sights set on a candid shot of Diana, but the snooty deer wasn’t having it. What started as an attempt to capture a sweet photo turned into a hilarious interaction, leading the player to wonder just how much Diana disliked them. According to the player, this wasn’t the first time Diana had refused to pose for a picture, and it seems like it won’t be the last—“I’ve accepted the fact that she hates me forever.”
Diana Doesn’t Do Paparazzi
The video shared on Reddit shows Diana chilling under a snow-covered cherry tree, clearly enjoying the peaceful atmosphere in a raised area of the player’s island. As the player approaches and opens the camera app, Diana looks as though she’s settled in for a nap, eyes closed in relaxation. But the moment the camera’s set and the player steps out of frame, Diana makes her feelings crystal clear—she’s not about to be caught on camera. In a swift move, she stands up and walks away, leaving the player to capture an empty shot.
To add to the comedy, just as Diana walks off-screen, a green balloon drifts lazily into the shot, perfectly timed for maximum comedic effect. The player returns to the frame, sighs heavily in disappointment, and faces the camera—clearly fed up with their uncooperative villager.
Commenters on Reddit were quick to point out how this perfectly aligns with Diana’s character. As one user, molscosycorner, put it: “She’s taking unbothered queen to the next level.” Others chimed in, pointing out that had Diana stayed, the balloon would’ve photo-bombed the shot anyway, rendering the photo a lost cause. It’s clear that Diana simply isn’t the type of villager to be snapped at leisure.
A Queen Who Refuses to Pose
This isn’t the first time Diana has shown her reluctance to let the player get a nice picture. In a previous Reddit post, songofbrokenpines69 shared their first attempt at a photo with Diana while sitting on a tree stump. Just as the camera appeared, Diana swiftly slid off the stump and became inexplicably engrossed in something just off-screen, proving yet again that she was completely uninterested in being part of the photo op.
Interactions like these are exactly what makes Animal Crossing: New Horizons such a beloved game. Villagers like Diana, with their quirky and sometimes difficult personalities, add depth to the experience. While some players may find themselves at odds with certain villagers, it’s these very moments of unpredictability that give the game its charm. For many players, it’s the grumpy or standoffish characters who become the most endearing, making the rare moments of connection all the more rewarding.
Though some players have reported growing disillusioned with the game, Diana’s antics show that the unique personalities of Animal Crossing villagers still manage to captivate and amuse. Whether you’re laughing at her antics or simply accepting the fact that a photo with Diana just isn’t in the cards, one thing is clear—Animal Crossing continues to surprise us with its unforgettable moments.
