Clint as a marriage candidate…

[Hedhogthe3rd]

So, I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but for 1.7 clint will be added as a marriage candidate, but his character for marriage just feels weird. He’s 40, and already has a confirmed attraction towards Emily, so it just feels weird. I think I would prefer a new character much over marriageable Clint, but maybe redesign of his story would work for him? Idk

I'm thinking that a story that turns him romanceable has him getting over his baby crush on Emily and trying to learn from his missteps, and maybe managing an awkward but much less creepy courtship of the farmer. But yeah, he needs a lot of growth and a much bigger arc to be successful.

Sandy's issues are mostly external (How to court someone who is almost entirely on another map you can often be late to reach?) But she's a self-confident, self-employed character, her character arc doesn't so far need her to overcome her internal self.

I think we just have to trust the process and give it a chance.

 

[Farmer Evie]

Yeah feels kinda... eww.

There are people who've asked for some older marriage candidates to be added, so I don't really see that as a problem, but his relationship with Emily definitely complicates things a bit. Like @Gridball Pom Queen said, we just need to trust the process.

It is easy to fix. Change his age from 40 to 25 and update his appearance to make him more handsome.

It is quite interesting that the 2 new marriageable candidates are both interested in Emily, which could create a rather interesting dynamic should ConcernedApe choose to lean into that. IMO a logical solution to this is Shane steals Clint's tween crush attention away from Emily, and Sandy finally realizes that being passive will never work. She observes how Clint never did anything to actually try having a relationship with Emily while Shane finally took control of his emotions and life to make his play for Clint's affections.

Sandy needs to do the same with Emily or forever remain just friends.

Not everyone wants all the marriage candidates (except Harvey) to be youngsters... And handsome doesn't fix the personality concerns.
