who you think the lore partner (wife/husband) is?

who you think Ape shipped with the farmer?

Spoiler: My opinion

Most are feels so childish and left unfinished, I mean they all have their own unique characters but after marriage most of their charm vanishes Abigail trapped in the farm once was a daring explorer now just standing and watching crops grow, Alex the same had not much going on before but still except Penny she is always goes for a walk and barely in the house/farm, she doesn't quit her job, still look after other people's kids while leaving her new born in the house all alone, everyone feels abit off in their own ways also possible because of it feels like. Everyone becomes a really good friend rather than a spouse

I had a similar discussion the other day and to me, it's always seemed logically like it should be Abigail for a few distinct reasons:
1. She's someone who explores and is out and about most of the day, even exploring our farm and reminiscing on the fun she had doing so prior to our moving to the valley

2. She wants to do stuff we do like fighting and entering the mines, some people fixate on that the ideal spouse should be someone who's suited to the 'farm spouse' sort of role, but we hardly fit that ourselves, doing fishing, mining, and combat equally if not more than mining. This also means we're suitable as a pair to do these activities together, or at least hang out in the valley together, such as her playing the flute at the mountains while we fish.

3. She didn't come to the valley with a developed goal/to escape something, and doesn't have set aspirations that'll lead her out of the valley. Unlike someone like Leah who came to the valley to escape the city life and has her own settled life, or someone like Sebastian who wishes to explore the big city life in his future, Abigail's goals are far less concrete, and most of them are rather valley-centered, things like exploring and combat being possible within the valley. She also doesn't have her own house which means we're not really taking much autonomy from her in that regard.


My only critique to this argument is that we don't really actually see it happen, as much as its hinted at, we have no way of letting her follow us into the mines, and not even any dialogue pointing towards her doing this with us, which would be reassuring to see. If that was ever added in basically any capacity, I'd be completely sure she's the most suited towards the SDV farmer (farmer/fighter/miner) life alongside us as players.

I'm going to guess that he shipped himself with either Penny or Leah, I heard somewhere that he has a thing for redheads.

Alex is cool and active! (I may be bias because he’s my spouse)

"who you think Ape shipped with the farmer?"

Shipping is complicated.

Someone who won't spoil
Someone who can act as padding
Someone who can withstand maybe just a bit of rough treatment
Someone who comes well-packaged to start
Someone who's always stocked
Someone who's the right price

The answer couldn't be more obvious:

Spoiler: but who...?

My one and only lovey

Does that thing of sort of shuffling her feet on level 10 not count as "following the farmer into the mines?"

 

[MogBeoulve]

I feel like Penny is supposed to be "the good one" and Abigail is supposed to be "the cool one" and ... yeah, I just invite Krobus to move in.

Kind of? That cutscene has always seemed more like her on her own rather than doing something alongside us which would constitute the point I was trying to make for the best farm spouse, though it could be considered as such.

I think the same thing could have been more aligned with the point I was trying to make if the cutscene was more mines-focused (instead of it just leading us into relationship talk), and/or happened when we were married, or the whole cutscene was about us going together for example

Not gonna lie, I thought you were building up to declaring your undying love for

I was thinking of the schedule change that puts her on floor 20 of the local mines on rainy days after the 10-heart. Not that your reasoning doesn't work for that too.

 

[Yogurt_The_Cow]

You know, I think Sandy is an amazing person for Mr CA! She's full of love, has that sassy spark that keeps things lively, and so much more. If only dating her was an option—she'd definitely be a catch!

I know it doesn’t count much lol but she’s in the mines on rainy days
