My fave!! ❤️ (although I do think mods are needed to make marriage with him less depressing since he forgets his entire journey and starts drinking again). But he was my first ever and always fave spouse.

Also - I know recovery is complicated and dynamic. But we don't get that either - it's just like a sudden regression. I think it would be fine for him to have good and bad days, more bad days the worse your relationship is. But almost every day talking about beer is too much 😭 also why does beer remain a loved gift??

And for his 14 heart event, I wish there was more of an opportunity to defend him and trust him, the game kinda forces you to say you doubt him. 😭 Oh well

You get the blue chicken from him right?

He is wonderful!! I love his growth throughout his heart events. Kinda hits close to him ya know? ☺️😊☺️

I’m marrying him (I need it to rain goddamnit lol) and I love him so much.

He's my go to spouse. Recently got the Immersive Shane mod and I'm loving it so far!

Is the chicken statue a hated gift?

I wish we could gift our spouses a watering Can so they Can water my potted plants before i have deluxe retaining soil

Shane has some pretty bad issues but I really don’t think he’s a bad guy at heart. If you take the time to get to know him he opens up on his struggles a lot.

Shane has serious personal and mental issues you learn about later on. He’s a good guy deep down. Give him lots of hot peppers and pizza and he’ll be a totally different person.

Eh, he's not the only one who starts out rude, though.

What about Haley? She's rude at first too. Quite a few are, in fact.

“Life isn’t so bad. at least I have frozen pizza and eggs.”

No one beats Sebastian in my heart, but Shane is very cool too

I wanna say yes but if you marry him he still doesn’t clean up and his side is pretty dirty. Also his eating habits don’t change so I had to wonder if he really learned 

haha. Alex must be really resourceful. I think I'm going for him in a next gameplay.

Yes. We can fix him. And in this case, we actually can!

My trophy husband that eventually fix some fence

There is a certain picture of Shane with a chicken smiling and it was that moment I knew. My first play through, I went for Harvey but after seeing him with his chickens. I found it so cute.

i literally can't bring myself to gift him beer after knowing about his alcoholism. i know it's just a pixelated character in a game, but it just feels wrong to me. 😭 i'll either drop the money on a pizza from gus at the start of the game or grow peppers for him during summer instead.

So glad to find representation of a fellow beer enthusiast in this game

Do wish that beer became hated after his 6 heart event or even the 8 heart

I love Elliot as a husband. He's really sweet and I love his writings.

I also love Shane and his character development. But I hate that when you marry him, his room is still a mess despite seeing his growth. I hope ConcernedApe change that. 

my favorite is sam! i like how he’s so nice from the start, how much he cares about vincent, how sweet he is in marriage and how happy he is to be a dad, he has a great 14 heart event and plus he’s blond.

None of them, Krobus is my roommate every time. Just started a file for 1.6 on my switch and I got that little shadow blob to move in Year 2, Spring 1.

Abby, because she eats rocks

Leah is my #1 favorite and it’s not even close

Shane has a really good story arc, but I do think he’s better off with the farmer as a friend than a spouse. My guy needs some time to work through his mental health stuff, not a relationship.

It's one of the most frequent 'lore' discussions I see on this sub, though

I feel like it's talked about ALL the time honestly, so much that it makes me want to avoid this sub sometimes because people really don't understand depression and are really cruel about it. (Yes, Shane is not a real person but those of us with depression reading your posts are)

Truly plenty lmao

even married to him most gifts i get from him are almost expired or overcooked

At least he loves it, so you just gift it right back to him lmao

It’s hilarious when this happens after joja mart is closed

Oh yum… back room pepper poppers…

He looks much better in your playthrough than in mine hahahahaha.

For me he just has a bald head and wears beige clothes.

Mine died from the pox! Thanks visitors 😠

Unless you’re lactose intolerant. Then that “gift” is a threat lmao

Marry him!!

I keep getting fishing rods ㅠㅠ
