Your favorite/ non favorite NPC's

Farmer
This is weird. I dislike Harvey, but Surit, having divorced Shane, will probably marry him. A radio shack for a spouse room would be cool. The first couple of heart events are tough to get through - medical coercion and clinical arrogance are on full display as he first overrides George's will and then the Farmer's. I've heard enough good things about his spouse life, that I'm letting her take the gamble.

I enjoy Maru and Robin. Haley is fun to watch, especially the 14heart. Krobus, I don't want to know how you will use the void mayonnaise. TMI. Dwarf, try the milk. You're curious. You know it!

I agree about Harvey. Those heart events are meh, but the spouse life is cute.

With Romancibles: I'm definitely a Sebastian fan. Ha ha xD Also like Abigail.

Non-romance buddies is Linus, Demetrius, Evelyn and George, and Jas. xD

I don't really have any I would say I hate. I will say that I take the longest to befriend Kent and Pam though. I dunno. Just everyone else is more fun to talk to first. I do really enjoy getting Pam her new house though. <3

Reasons to dislike Lewis -
Keeps stringing Marnie along:
Busts Sam's balls for skateboarding:
Takes business taxes off the other shops:
(alleged) uses the tax money to finance a gold statue of himself:
Never holds mayoral elections:
(Headcanon)Lewis and Marlon are brothers (Lewis didn't go into the family business) and they fell out over Marnie:
(Further headcanon) Grandpa and Lewis both ran for mayor, and when he won, used his power to ruin the farm and indrectly kill grandpa. Hence the state of the farm at game start:
Purple shorts.

my favorite is forever gonna be elliott. he's pretty (gorgeous) and i appreciate anyone (real or not) who involved in any form of art. aside from him i also really love pam, i think she's really nice and i like visiting her at the bus stop. as for least favorite, probably mr. qi, i find him insanely creepy and his quests are annoying.

Why my boy morris deserve to be there.
I would, but Morris practically took away 500,000g from the player (for the movie theater)! I still always prefer the Joja route though, for the benefits it offers. But at that point in the game, that money always set me back some. You know how it is; "money talks", "nothing personal"!

Sam is my very favorite. I know he's a little boring...but I don't care. Sebastian is cool too though.

I love Evelyn and George they are so adorable together ❤

My least favorite by far is Pam! She is so rude all the time and she doesn't even treat her friends well! Even Gus who seems to be one of her best friends. I also used to hate Shane, but I had a few cut scenes with him and I don't hate him quite as much now.
I feel you with Pam, she goes unnoticed for me but when there are scenes she is very unpleasant. Poor penny :(

My favourites

Romance wise - Sam, because he's so cute and amazing with the kids. He may not be great at keeping the house clean, but the moment i saw him make thst tune for the kids, i knew Sam was a keeper

Hayley, because underneath that stuck up exterior is a very sweet person. I knew from the moment i saw her that there was more to her then meets the eye. After i married her for the first time, i knew, I'd never want to marry anoyone else. Her adorable charity cake walk ti raise money to buy Vincent and Jas new school books sealed Hayley's place as my one true love.

None Romance Favourites

George, Evelyn (i love old people) Robin (she's funny 🤣) Linus (because we share a love and belief in nature)

Least Favorite To Romance

Emily - Because she's just too in your face, especially when she tries dancing for you, it's like HELLO you do realise I'm married to your sister right? Plus the sceen when Hayley is complaining about cleaning under the cushions really bugs me. Why do i have to have a go at Hayley and side with Emily. I can understand Hayley being bored with doing the same thing all the time, so why not give her a different job to do, like wash the dishes. Expencting me to rip into my girl and side with Emily doesn't sit well with me.

Penny - She's boring and rude in her 2 heart event sceen. She shoukd have been more open to how George myst feel having lost the use of his legs. But No, she comes over, doesn't even bother to ask if he wants help, shoves him out of the way and plays hero. That lost her a lot of respect from me.

Harvey - Like Penny, he's Boring and i don't like his attitude. In the day's when i used to Romance Maru (before i fell for Hayley) i never liked the fact that he kept trying to hit on my wife, by offering ti run sun screen on her shoulders during the Luau. That sealed his fate of being at the bottom of my eligible Bachelor's list.

Least Favorite None Romanceable Characters

Demetrius - His attitude stinks, i dont like the fact that he keeps giving me quests to over fish the waters around the valley. The attitude problem that 100% sealed his fate as my most disliked NPC, is his attitude towards his kids. What Robin Sees in that horrid excuse for a father, i don't know. It was bad enough that he tried to interfear with Maru's Love Life, (which was a bit low, but sort of understandable) by trying to get me to break up with her before we started dating properly. The icing on the cake though, was the day i saw him rip into Sebastian just because he built a Snow Goon. What kind of Farther tells there kid off for playing in the snow. That sealed his fate as the only NPC of stardew valley, that i can't stand to be around.
These takes are so valid and detailed (I love the specifics)

Sebastian always was and always will be my favorite, but Emily is my favorite bachelorette LOL. I think of everyone in the town, she is the one who has herself figured out the most and that's something I really admire about her. She's a little weird, but who isn't?

I've dropped fat essays about Sebastian in the past and I don't have the energy in me to do it right now but yeah I basically love everything about his character and how it progresses and how he goes from wanting to leave the valley to finding a true home and a place he belongs with the farmer. Back in the day, it was a popular opinion that he gives up on his dreams, but really I think his dreams are directly achieved getting to work on games while having the farm lifestyle-- also, goals change, and not wanting to be in the city doesn't mean he's 'failed' in any aspect

Least favorite bachelor/ette... it's always been Leah. I don't think Leah is a bad character at all, I think she's well written and honestly I think she's very nice. But part of Stardew is about our personal connections and experiences and Leah reminds me a lot of people I did NOT have good experiences with in college, so she's someone I couldn't really warm up to the same way as other characters. I think nowadays I struggle to say I dislike her, but on the list she's definitely the lowest
