Solution: Marry Robin mod

Haley is a great example of, "Being with someone who inspires you to be the best version of yourself." We inspire her and she embraces that inspiration to better herself. She's probably the most realistic relationship to IRL that still has a character development arc.

Haley is basically every lesbians crush (that includes me)

The reason why Abigail is my favorite is literally because she is unique and "weird" without being batshit insane (I mean like Emily whose heart events are insanity)

I think the reason Shane doesn’t have the post marriage progress is due to him being added as a candidate after everyone else. I really hope they fix this in 1.6

As someone who immediately went for Harvey, I'm so offended 😭😭😭

Shane is “I can fix him” walking around

harvey in last is criminal 😭

Definitely agree that Alex is better for male farmers! I pretty much always marry him when I play as a male farmer. Alex actually does seem to be confused about having feelings for another man, and George will even comment that a man marrying another man is "unnatural" until you max out hearts with him. The depth that it adds to his character and storyline as a spouse is subtle, but makes a big difference. Overall, Alex's transition from slightly misogynistic jock to sweet himbo farm husband is great on a male farmer. Highly recommend.

Sure, Harvey is boring and not that attractive... But hey, I think his cutscene with hot air balloon is one of the best! He's overcome his fear of high for Farmer, he spend probably a lot of money for that ballon, plus when you two are in pink skies it looks sooo cute and romantic... Not even my favourite poetic Elliott did someting that romantic :( So it means something

As a male farmer, my personal top 3 are: 1: Haley 2: Abigail (Even if she eats rocks) 3: Alex- I just like being friends with him for the most part

Somehow I completely disagree with a lot of your rankings, yet I agree with most of your reasoning

I never got the sense that Elliott thinks he is better than the farmer. Quite the opposite, actually! He greatly admires you and the work you do. I think, a bit of a paradox, but I think he is a bit socially awkward. I think he's good with words, but less so in expressing emotion towards people he is getting to know. But once you become great friends/partners, that's when you get the poetry :)

I don't know why, but for me Sebastian has always been 1 and Maru has been 2. To change that, I married and divorced all the characters, but those two remained special in my heart.

I feel like with Alex the only reason why he acts differently to the female farmer is because his mother probably didn't like sports as much, his grandmother (Evelyn) is too old to play sports with him, and we all know Haley's the type of girl to just watch from afar, or like a cheerleader. Which is why he is surprised when you actually want to in one of his heart cutscenes. However, he has a change of heart when you get married, and becomes more inclusive. Although he had to drop his dream job (which I find really sad), he did it for the farmer, which is why I'd say Alex as a husband is a pretty good choice, although I agree with you that he's better with the male farmer

I agree with everyone on your list except Sam. He feels immature to me. You can literally have children with him, but his ten heart scene has you sneaking in through the window and him hiding you from his mom in his bed. Like, dude, what are you sixteen? Why are you so afraid to talk about your relationship with your mother? I don't know, I'm only 22 which is young I know, it still feels like he's too young for me, and not really mature enough to handle an adult relationship yet

I like Elliot, because he actually seems to have all his ducks in a row. He seems like an adult romancing another adult. Alex is cute, but he also seems about 13 to me from his behaviour…which is not romance territory O.O Maybe I’m just showing my age though with my preferences.

Keep my husband Harvey’s name out of your filthy mouth. He’s the sweetest, most loyal husband in the whole Pelican Town. ❤️

I know Shane is low on the list but i like to marry him! I think its perfect for his story: he doesnt have to work at Joja mart anymore, he can move out of his aunts house, he LOVES chickens. But... still i wish i could marry Gus! 😭😭😭

I do wish they had more scenes with Maru standing up for Sebastian, like Demetrius making him get rid of his snowgoon but letting Maru keep hers, it makes me mad at Demetrius every winter!

At some point in the video I stopped caring about the ranking and started caring about that skull caverns clip. It played so many times! If I took a shot every time it played I'd be wasted by the end of the video and the video isn't even that long!

As a Haley husband, I love that you recognize how far my ditzy bimbo baby girl comes. Her character arc is lowkey precious.

My personal favorite is Penny (because she’s super nice, and she deserved everything I could give her), but Abigail is a close second (she’s funky and my Stardew addicted friend is also named Abigail so I’m trying to replace them with Purple Abigail)

We may not agree on the caves, but Haley will always be on top❤

1. Sebastian 2. Elliott 3. Harvey

Ive had 2 stardew playthrus, and leah was best girl in both of them, mostly because im one of those odd folk that felt guilty about flirting/ focusing on another character 😅 -side note, recently discovered your channel and that lummi's got you tagline is adorable

Krobus is my personal fave. He's such an amazing lil fella and I stan Krobus and the farmer in a QPR

I will tell you exactly why Abigail is so great even tho I see less people choose her as their favorite the more she is labeled a fan favorite. When I first played the game, I felt like there were no good marriage candidates because I hadn’t played enough of the game yet and chose Abigail cause she overall seemed nice, had cool things in her room, looked pretty, and played a woodwind which I think is just adorable. I think even after learning some of the other candidate’s heart events, I still choose Abigail cause she is rugged and kinda edgy, but not as much as you think after marrying her. Her 14 heart event made my heart melt. She obviously takes a monster’s life to save yours, but she shows a sliver of the person you almost never see her as. She feels remorse for killing a monster even though it was attacking you. She usually is a healthy mix of goth gamer girl, and the other half is sweet and caring girl. She shows a special part of the ladder half by feeling bad enough for a single monster to bury it and make a grave. It’s also implied that due to the barrier around the farm, monsters shouldn’t spawn outside of caves, but one irregular one does. It’s possible Harvey or Linus wouldn’t have been around to save you. The grave is there for the entire save file and it’s just a beautiful thing I love thinking about. I also wanna point out that while I see Caroline as an amazing mother, Pierre isn’t the best father. Don’t get me wrong he does a great job providing for his family, but he tends to not only prioritize work over his family (Caroline mentions this at the festivals), but he also rejects Abigail’s life choices and never seems to have any major changes in his view. Caroline is supportive of Abigail, even if she sometimes wishes she would go back to her brown hair. The scene at the grave really gives her personality, standing to her father who still seems to try to control her even though she’s old enough to marry. And letting us have a 2-player Prairie King round with her was really cute. I also think her spirit board heart event is really sweet because it’s before you date, so she gets really flustered, but comes by the next day to apologize and says that “you probably know why I freaked out”. I’ve enjoyed every minute of being married to her and given the choice of who to marry, I would always pick her again. I haven’t gone through most of the candidate’s heart events, but I’ve seen a few and I plan on going on a separate save file to try all of them, but Abigail really is and will always be my favorite. (Plus the last secret note I found was the list of her favorite things so that was a funny “coincidence”). Btw she doesn’t just eat rocks. She eats gems. Doing so and being fine requires an iron stomach. It’s no flaw. Thanks you for coming to my TedTalk. Edit: Just gonna put out there that although I forgot to mention it, I absolutely adore her 10 heart event when you and her play a melody by the lake. It’s something I always thought was cute about her and doing it with her for once was an amazing experience. She even mentions it multiple times after the event happens, saying she’s still learning new things about you. Great and underrated heart event. 💜

Sam is the love of my life, and Sebastian is my soulmate. I divorced them both, to try. I felt really sad and missed Sam a lot. But Seb, it broke my heart so hard that I won't divorce him ever again 😂 (For those who may be confused, soulmates don't have to be lovers. They can be very special (close or not) friends, the ones that would always support and understand you, no matter what's going on in your life. And breaking that special relation makes you feel empty.)

My top three: 1. Krobus 2. Harvey 3. Elliott

I actually really like Elliot tbh 😅. I know it’s a bit of a controversial “unpopular” opinion, but I really like his character arc. I never really noticed him to be kinda condescending or anything like that lols (I’m not always the best at understanding people), and I just really love his character development over time. Especially after you marry him, and he goes on his book tour, I really like that aspect of his character 😊. And plus, I’ve been a sucker for guys with long hair 😅

gurl! You cant call harvey obsessed when you got all those stars and moons on your wall! 😂

My first was Emily, but then I found out she wasn't originally gonna be bachelorette, which made me feel kinda weird for some reason. Plus, seeing her at the farm and not at the tavern as much made me feel kinda sad like I took her life away even though I didn't.

I do not agree with your ranking at all. You put the boring ones at the top and the fun ones below. But anyway-

The way I see it, Haley and Shane benefit the most from your friendship (Haley becoming a real sweetheart instead of a petty selfish b!tch, and Shane getting help with his alcoholism and depression), while Penny and Alex benefit the most from marriage (Penny gets out of that living situation, while Alex's dream of being a professional athlete is, while not necessarily _impossible,_ extremely unrealistic at this point in his life). Everybody else, except maybe Sam who still acts like a teenager, pretty much has their lives together.

3: Abigail. As a gamer and a person who plays music myself, I see her as a plus. She also has a pet guniea pig, like I used to when I was little. Her father is also always on her back and that shows just how much she feels controlled and needs someone to be there to back her up. However, despite all her positives, she believes in the occult and ghosts, which is the only reason she's not higher on the list. 2: Leah. Her heart and soul are pure. She loves foraging, which makes her a good match with a farmer. Her artistic talent is something I admire as well as her tenacity to turn the town into an artistic hotspot with beauty and amazment at every turn. She never stops trying and knows how to stand up to people. She stands up for herself and her dreams. She's strong-willed and brave. Her healthy eating habits are questionable for me, though. And also, that statue is pretty weird, ngl. 1: Emily. While I am an atheist and I don't believe in horoscopes, Emily is my star. She never is shy of her true colours and instead of hiding her insecurities and awkwardness, she embraces them and converts them into badges that she isn't afraid to show. Her tailoring passion is also something that I can get behind, being a bit of an embroider myself! Along with that, she loves all animals and her friendship with Sandy is long-distance, but strong. Emily is kind, funny, enthusiastic, and even though she's fictional, her aloof and kooky personality always makes my voice bubble with laughter.

In Haily's defense, Emily is pretty weird, not rock eating weird but still

I think that my favourite dateable characters are Haley, because she’s gorgeous, and she develops a lot as a character and Sebastian, because he loves frogs, and some of his cut scenes are really cute.❤

Glad this is just a video game you have a ruthless analysis of people lol

We should be able to marry Robin I think everybody would enjoy that much more

So I have a few different runs going. The very first one I started going for Haley for obvious reasons. But in the one I have the most progress in so far I went for Sebastian. I love Sebastian and am anxiously waiting for it to rain so I can marry him 🥲

Number 9 for Abigail? That’s my wife you are bad mouthing, ma’am.

Honestly, Leah and Elliot are my personal favorites, with Abigail close behind. I dont think Elliot is necessarily condescending. He's got a huge vocabulary and i dont think it's wrong to make use of it. He also appeals to me because like me, he's a writer and a poet and loves the ocean. I love Leah's love of nature and art and her determination to live life in a way that makes her happy. Leah and Elliot would probably be the types of people I'd live to date in real life. Abigail is quirky and unashamed and I absolutely love her for it. If i dont end up with her, she's definitely somebody i want as a close friend. I also find her rock eating kinda funny because of how absurd it is. It adds to her charm for me. The great thing about the datables in this game is that there's someone to love for everyone. Not everyone is your type but they dont have to be. I like Elliot and Leah for the reasons I listef which may be the reasons for which others dislike them. And that's okay!!

(Please translate) Sobre Abigail, reconozco que ser popular solo por tener cabello púrpura y jugar videojuegos no tiene sentido. Pero a mí me gusta más su trasfondo, sabiendo que en realidad es hija de Rasmodious (el mago) y que siempre tiene peleas con su padre por su forma de comportarse, en realidad la hace más interesante por lo que puede llegar a hacer. Por la misma razón de ser hija de un mago, ella muestra interés en la ouija y juegos de fantasía. Es decir, ella es una chica hambrienta de una aventura mágica y emocionante y si explotara ese potencial sería de verdad muy interesante pero en lugar de eso solo juega videojuegos y actúa de forma rara porque su padre la reprime. Lo sé, muy largo e innecesario pero no podía dejar que pusieran a uno de mis personajes favoritos en un ranking tan bajo lol

I feel like Penny should be higher because she is extremely realistic. I can absolutely see a person like that and it just feels natural. But that's just my opinion.

I respect your honesty and picking order, I am just reminded too much of people who I was bullied by in Haley. (One literally broke their new phone because it wasn't the newest Iphone version they wanted. The saddest part is it worked) I can see why she'd be lovable, I just can't get past my personal trauma which is a me thing.

I just love Haley’s uniqueness. Like I find it so interesting that she is the only npc in the entire game that hates prismatic shards

Okay, so that’s all well and good, but I wanna know when ConcernedApe will make an update letting us Romance the dinosaurs.

Seb definitely plays Master Duel all day on that laptop

Love your videos girly !!! I'm absolutely in love with stardew valley😅

1. Sebastian 2. Abigail 3. Elliott

I haven’t married yet, but I live Leah’s character. I can relate to her creativity and hobbies and she looks good.

Can someone explain to me why people hate Maru, just because she's the favorite? I know it's unfair to Sebastian, but that's not her fault. Maru just wants to have a relationship with Sebastian. It's not her fault that she has a better reputation than him. She just wants everyone to be happy. Can someone explain?

I think you’d love the Haley Expanded mod! It adds like 10 heart events that help to build her character and go into her familial relationships, career goals, and sense of belonging in the community

as someone who married shane, i don’t know how to feel

I spam haley with ice cream every week during the summer just because its literally right there, and it makes me happy that making her day is as simple as buying her a ice cream cone twice a week.

im so glad that you gave maru a high ranking here, i think that she’s just the sweetest and wish she got more love than she does now… she’s such a fun character to me and i enjoyed all of her heart events because they were all just so endearing to me. it breaks my heart whenever i get the dialogue where she essentially says she wishes that she and seb were closer (not exactly what she said, but yk). i really wish that they could patch things up with each other too

As a male farmer my top 3 is 1)Abigail (she loves adventures) 2)Abigail (she is a gamer) 3)Abigail (SHE EATS ROCKS)

Abigail is my personal favourite marriage candidate, and not for the reasons a lot of people seem to marry her for. Like you said, lots of people like her because she's "not like other girls" and "purple hair" or whatever, but I love her because of how similar we are! I love all her heart events, and I interpret her dialogue differently than I think others do (like when she says she likes the rain, she looks genuinely super happy and adorable rather than her trying to jst be different)

I first pursued Penny, but then realised she’s a pretty much 1:1 copy of my ex. Safe to say I started pursuing Haley after that.

Ain’t no way I got dragged into this video by seeing my favorite titled as the “worst”

you did not have to shit on leah

If you play that killing the purple slimes clip one more time i am going to absolutely lose it /j

I love the fact that Haley and Sam is prob every player first go to marriage basically of how often you will encountering this two

Do you get to use the chicken coop that comes with Shane? Like can I put my own chickens in it?

literally fell in love with haley the 2nd day of my gameplay when i stumbled upon her at the fountain. year one is halfway done and im already married to her

My top 3 has to be Alex Sam Krobus When you bring in modded npc’s Lance (SVE) Jio (RSV) Sterling (ES) And I’m currently romancing Sen (ES)

I will not tolerate the Harvey slandering! 😂

Do you have thoughts on the added marriage candidates in Stardew Expanded?

Tbh I didn't find any of the bachelors appealing. Maybe I'd put Sam and Elliot as potential marriage candidates character wise, but I simply don't swing that way. With the rest it was already mentioned how Alex works better for male farmers and personally characters like Shane are just the opposite of attractive to me, it's not even a "I can fix him" situation because he literally relapses. To quote what I apparently wrote about Harvey to my friends when first playing SV "Harvey is a marriage candidate?? He looks like man in a divorce with four kids and he doesn't pay the child support". Sebastian is ok but also I literally feel like we're tying him down to a place he wants to leave by marrying him :/ Haley is peak choice, her story is just so sweet and she actually improves by the end of it (unlike a certain someone cough cough). I originally picked Maru on my first playthrough, but I'd say she's a bit bland. The rest of bachelorettes are fine, except Abigail, she lashed out at me for no reason on my first playthrough and it became a personal vendetta, also I just don't get why everyone wants to marry her. Krobus is precious, I do wish he had more character events though, he could use some. Also why can't we have kids with him?? Sometimes you just want to raise some kids with your homie.

my top 3: 1. Penny 2. Leah 3. Haley

This video makes me feel like im back in 2013 all over again. Not bad, miss those days.

Yknow how you did those fill your farm up with this certain thing, do ostrich’s

I’m a female (lesbian) farmer, and my top 3 would be: 1. Haley 2. Leah 3. Abigail You could honestly order these three from best to worst however you want and I would still agree. I DONT KNOW WHO TO PICK AHH-

I don’t really agree with your judgement of Abigail, but that’s how opinions are sometimes. Personally I’d put Abilgail above pretty much everyone else, but that’s just me.

Well, in Harvey's deffence, being charged everything you have for 5 min in a bed is pretty much standart hospital practice

hot take: emily is seriously underrated and the best marriage candidate

YES!! So excited for Haley. I’ve only ever played through one save, Haley is the only character I ever considered romancing. She’s the best.

shane’s 14 heart event is about him being sober though? I think the alcohol dialogue etc after marriage are inconsistencies

I chose number seven of her easy going personality, later got best gift ever!

YESSS HALEY MY GIRL

Emily is my girl for one big reason: Sewing Machine

In my sole Stardew Valley game I chose Leah, and she will always be first for me.

I feel like Harvey being last and HALEY being number one defines your tastes very very clear. L for putting Harvey last but still a W for liking Haley

Abigail is my love. Emily is a close second.

Excuse me?! Abigail plays a flute! N64 Ocarina of Times vibes. No way you dumb her down to alt girl. You put Sebastian above abigail, thats like criminal

I love Abigail not for the Gaming, purple hair, All of the things that the community likes about them, ect. (Mostly) But for More story and just her unique charm. Overall i do agree that she is a bit overrated tho. Krobus is 2nd tho :0

7:15 Jokes on you, that’s why I chose to pursue Haley. I did end up going with Leah in the end thou

Haley on top!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Harvey and Abigail should at least be top 5 and Sebastian that should be 13

I was LIVID when I saw the thumbnail.

I LOVE ELLIOT 🥺

Robin My Beloved

WHAT Penny is the best my first wife out of all of them.

If Nobody has you, you are dead, because Lummi gots you.

My fav being Abigail watching this 🥲

Haley is just a type of girl that has literally no filter ,she speaks whatever she thinks of but she can be very sweet .But the best girl is Caroline 😂

Harvey should be #1

Harvey is my man.

Interesting thumbnail choice for your #1 😂 Haley's divorce dialogue is also the most mature and heartbreaking of them all, and is the only one that's not resentful. She's so endearing. She's a person who takes a while to warm up to you but becomes your ride or die.
