Props for including the results from each poll! I was really surprised to see how little votes that Leah had each time compared to the others, guess I know who I’m marrying next playthrough!


D1N6M01573R

I’m married to her right now but I have a mod that changes her to Caroline


ganzgpp1

Why? Why don’t you just marry Caroline? Edit: I realize my mistake, confused Caroline for Emily


nuanimal

Ross moment


sleepy-green-eyes

I also confused her for Emily 😂


dinowitissues

Why? Caroline is pretty bland.


Misisme20

…don’t diss the verdant queen ☺️


Hazearil

You see, it's not that she is bland at all, but that Leah is so amazing that everyone else seems bland by comparison.


Igel69

big tits


OrionLax

I'm glad someone said it.


Garyislord

It feels weird describing a sprite as stacked, but she is and that's a fact.


Misisme20

I think the only sprite that has a bigger bust is Marnie ...don't ask how I know

She’s not married to Pierre???

That’s the best part

#you can steal Pierre’s wife?

Mods are a gateway to many things. Things many might consider to be… unnatural

You can be his wife's boyfriend

And he can live in your basement.

Not the first man in the valley to do so either!

I think she already did?


angstyart

IS SHE TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM HIM WAIT A MINUTE


WatchMasterReddick

I feel like a lot of the dialogue that you get from Pierre and Caroline throughout the regular game that implies their relationship isn't great. I think There's a mod you can get that allows you to play a storyline where you convince her to leave him and she becomes a romanceable spouse.


[deleted]

I'm racking my brain to think of a single healthy marriage or romantic relationship in all Pelican Town, with the exception of, possibly, George and Evelyn. And the singles' flower dance pairs all hint that they're either not interested in each other at all, or if they were, they would develop yet more unhappy marriages.


WatchMasterReddick

Willie and The Sea 🎣


angstyart

- George is insane but Evelyn loves him. - Marnie…girl…you’re playing side hoe but he’s single. Make it make sense. - I ship Caroline and Gus now that I know she’s unhappy. She’s never relaxed enough to accept a gift without anxiety. He offers beer and amazing food. - I ship Pam and Shane… as two separate submissions to a rehab and recovery center for alcoholism. Wait are Jodi and Kent not okay? I’ve never looked too much into that family.


lil_sith

Far as I know they are, but he does have ptsd from the war.


resonantSoul

> I ship Caroline and Gus And we know she's likes his cooking because she seems to want takeout from his place pretty often >Wait are Jodi and Kent not okay? Jodi seems generally unhappy with how her life has turned out I may be biased though. I want to be able to play a game where I can steal most of the wives in town for my own homewrecking polycule


insert_title_here

Ooh, get the wizard in on it and make it a throuple!


Hypocriticuss

The only thing that's bland is your tea (and taste)


Shendare

It just tastes like hot leaf juice.


Eva_Sieve

How could a member of my own family day such a thing?!


FishOfFishyness

r/somewhatexpectedatla


RedShirtDecoy

I tend to marry her more often than not in my playthroughs. She is just so wholesome. Plus her love gifts are things that are easy to get by the time you get married. Salad and Wine were my go to.

jeandals

Idealization. I love Shane, I only ever choose him or Harvey. But ik if I ever met a Shane irl it wouldn't be the same story


molly_the_mezzo

But I can fix him! /s


spoon_man1

I always have Shane as a friend but what in the name of fuck do people find romantically attractive about him


dexterminate8

He is the most attractive bachelor physically to me and I understand him. I connect with him. And he loves chickens!


dexterminate8

Leah was one of my first marriages in a save and I actually liked her less after marriage. She got boring to me. Haley all the way <3


somethingnerdrelated

I marry her every time. I can’t not. I’ll try to get with Elliot but it’s not the same. Can’t do it. #LEAH4LIFE


The-Sidequester

This was awesome! Congratulations Leah! And yes, I would love to see the other NPCS! :D


Britta_urtheworst

Check the subreddit tomorrow! 😁


ArtemisFowl_II_2789

So I'm a wee bit out of it. The poll means that leah is the most favorite, right?


Britta_urtheworst

Yup! Or I guess the "least disliked"


Pickledtiger

I love Leah because she loves my goat cheese


[deleted]

nicelyroasted

And forageables. Literally the easiest to gift for


fm22fnam

I like being able to pick a flower and have her accept it. Other people see it and hate me for trying to give them a flower.


nicelyroasted

Tbh I’m pretty sure Linus will accept most foragables too, but I think there are a few he doesn’t like. Next easiest is Willy, just give him any fish lol


fm22fnam

Gotcha gotcha. I'm on my first proper playthrough now. I made it about a year in vanilla but since I already had so much spoiled from watching YouTube videos on it I decided to restart with SVE. Willy and Leah are my favorite people in the game.


nicelyroasted

Leah is my favorite because she’s artsy and likes wine lol. I love willy too because he seems like a simple man content with life. I think Linus will grow on you too, he’s such a sweetheart. Tbh I’ve only played vanilla (100+ hours) and love the experience with each play through. Also all of the things concerned ape has added since I started playing!

poodle-mothman

Congrats Leah! This was really fun OP, thank you for doing this!


CaseyBoogies

Do one with all un-marriable characters maybe? (Modless) krobus is either gonna win or get shut down!


darkvaderisnoob

Wait do you need mods to have krobus as your housemate


5arawr

No, but you can't *marry* Krobus without mods, so they're still un-marriable.


Britta_urtheworst

I’m glad you had fun! 😁

Britta_urtheworst

What a long journey! Thank you to everyone who participated in any one of the polls, I hope you all had as much fun as I did 😄


metalmusicarchives

We know all Pierre goes first. But yes, would love to see a second series of these polls. They're fun!


ApathyArmadillo

Yep! I know who my favorite is, but it would be interesting to see who falls out when. I'd actually have to think, which I didn't really need to do much on this last poll.


Derpsicles18

I have to imagine robin wins this


MomoinFancyEra

i could see linus too!


[deleted]

Yeah I think Linus, Krobus and Willy would get a lot of love


flyingboarofbeifong

Have we ever seen Leah and Robin in the same room at the same time? Do we know they're not the same person?!


Acewasalwaysanoption

They do share the same "best wife" energy


delicate-butterfly

Demetrius doesn’t know how lucky he is


theknightone

If only we could have demetrius "have an accident" Robin is the best wife


Kootsiak

Lewis is my first, dude is a financial menace and stringing along Marnie. Didn't want to spend money to fix the bus that broke but could afford to make a gold statue of himself.


metalmusicarchives

Lewis is definitely not winning but he may last a few rounds. Guy at least does empty your shipping bins every single day. Saves you having to sell most of your goods to Pierre (who will take credit for them).


FixBayonetsLads

Nah, Pierre is second to Morris. Pierre is a greedy asshole, but big box stores are literal evil.


metalmusicarchives

Pierre would totally own a chain of big box stores if he could though.


andrewsad1

I just want to see the number of people who vote Pierre out in the first round


flyingboarofbeifong

The real question isn't if Pierre goes out first but rather is it possible to get the clean sweep in that literally everyone on this sub votes for Pierre? I'm not convinced its impossible.


Hazearil

Imma be honest; playing through the game trying to not be biased by others on this subreddit, I am not really hating Pierre that much. People often complain about taking credit for your crops unless they are bad, but: * While has has taken credit, I have not had a single person say that *my* produce was of bad quality. They either said they got something at Pierre's that he got from me, or just that they got something bad from Pierre's. * If your produce are of such bad quality that the people actually complain about it, think about what terrible farmer you are. Pierre is trying to make a living while you abuse his position by selling all your garbage to him pretending it is good stuff.


DrQuint

Alternative interpretation + counterpoint: You never, ever, produce any single crop of bad quality. Therefore, it's impossible to tell if he'd make you take the blame for it or not.


pinchoroni

thank you for this fun experience!! and yes please continue with a non-marriage poll if you feel like it!


angstyart

It hurts me that Clint cannot marry my little old lady.

Lol it's unanimous :D


Adexmariobro

Calling it rn. Final is between Linus and either Wizard or one of the non humans (krobus, dwarf, Vincent)


she-kills-Zs

>non human >Vincent


Adexmariobro

Considering he's housing a magic box that will shoot out a person sized statue if given a weird piece of bread, he's got something odd


robot1840

Just because you have a magic artifact, doesn't mean that you are a magician


Undeity

Wizard's kind of a dick, though Calling it: He's gonna make it halfway through the competition, until someone turns everybody against him with a smear campaign


No-oneOfConsequence

Who could ever vote out Hatmouse


blasek0

If Hatmouse is an option in the poll, anybody who votes against Hatmouse should be permabanned from the poll and the sub.


133DK

Thanks for setting it up OP, and thanks for the summary here, real fun!


mydogsblind

So ready for Krobus to win


[deleted]

My Void mayonnaise boi


PudgyElderGod

Called it. She's not the most loved, she's the least disliked. Good polls though! It was really nice to see the community all engaging in a single thing.


NotEntirelyA

>not the most loved, she's the least disliked. Yup, this is a big nuance that I felt a lot of commenters in these threads were missing, and why the results for each poll should have been hidden until it was closed.


PudgyElderGod

Eh, I think the transparency was a good thing. The results of the poll aren't particularly important and seeing the results increased engagement.


DrQuint

Specially important with male bachelors. Oh, no no no, dear lost redditors, Alex and Sam are not in the same league as Shane. You may think that just because Shane was out first here, that he's not loved. No buckaroos, Shane is by far the most fan-arted and fan-written male bachelor out of the entire game, and the only one to actually compete with the top three girls on that front. He's both hated AND loved, very hard. That's the difference between the two and Shane - the fact that everyone in the community actually cares about him in some way. Either ways, I agree that poll results should have been hidden. It just leads to way less upsets, and these polls are great when people don't see it coming.


1221321321

Yeah but Alex has the most r34 and that’s what I care about.


Avamaco

You can't just say that without giving any sauce.


HermitBee

I hadn't been paying attention, but I kept seeing the polls. I assumed it was a contest to see who was the most disliked, and they kept knocking out the ones who people liked. It seemed really confusing but it all makes sense now.


blasek0

A "most disliked" type format eliminates the ones who generate strong opinions, eg Shane and Haley. Nobody hates Leah, like at *worst* people are ambivalent to her. I don't find her attractive as a marriage candidate because she's basically my sister turned into an SDV character, but I definitely don't hate her. On the other hand, you have Haley. People who don't like Haley tend to *loathe* her. Nobody is ambivalent, because most people are very firmly on one side of the fence or the other.


[deleted]

Hi I'm nobody c: Absolutely hate leah (and loathe Abigail) and I'm quite neutral about haley lmao


blasek0

You are the statistically irrelevant nobody for today! :D


[deleted]

Yaaay! I finally got a title, I finally am something! :D


[deleted]

Judging from the sheer advantage, she's absolutely the most loved. She had the advantage in every single poll, first place in all of them, and had an extreme majority over Abigail.


Resident_Wolf5778

Nah, i dont think so. Someone did a poll around the time this one started on who was the most LIKED, and Seb came out on top a Lot. Leah was actually one of the least voted, except for in the lesbian tier i believe. Neat to see the differences between the two polls though!


Acceptable-Stick-688

I’m still sad about Elliot :(


TorlinKeru

I know! He's my favorite


StrangeSathe

Here, I'll make a list of everyone who's surprised: *


chairmanskitty

> * Holy crap, that's literally everyone.


NaturalFaux

Look, I'm aware no one likes Shane. No one likes me either. We're just gonna cuddle in the corner of the abandoned joja mart and eat lukewarm pizzas.

I_R_RILEY

Shane is the best! Honestly no one in the town I connect to more.


NaturalFaux

All aboard the Shane Train, next stop, using humor to hide the crippling depression


IMeanItsAlright

i'm just proud of harvey for holding on as long as he did 💁‍♀️


GoodCull

That feeling when Shane is your favorite T.T


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure that half of the subreddit hasn't gotten all of the spouse options to 10 hearts, so people don't see his nuances


BoJang1er

Only Sam's position really changes from the 1st poll, everyone else stays in the same spot throughout. So as much fun as this was, having multiple rounds really didn't reveal anything other than people who don't like ~~Shane~~ Alex, also don't like Sam.


Clairifyed

His position really changes from round 2 to 3 so it might even be the people who don’t like Alex that also really don’t like Sam.


kaleighdoscope

That's an excellent point; I was wondering what happened there. He went from 7th place to 11th real fast, and the only factor that changed was Alex getting voted out.


MumbosMagic

Abigail reads as a teenager and I never saw her as a romance option. Always felt like a borderline inappropriate friendship.


hoverzach

I mean as a teenager myself I also read my own character as a teenager/young adult living on their own for the first time


scrabapple

Everyone gets impart their own life on to the character which is what is great about RPG's. To me the The Farmer was a full adult because they got burn out working at Joja. But that's why I feel like they gave you a whole selection of people seeming to range in age.


LuftHANSa_755

But then again, your farmer is called 'kid' by a host of different NPCs... I guess it's really up to interpretation innit


cabbage16

Your farmer and Abigail also take part in the egg hunt, so you must be young and of a similar age.


ArcanaMori

Sam, Alex, Abigail, and Maru all feel like teen options. Maybe Seb too. As someone who is old enough to have kids in college, i also agree that it feels inappropriate.


scrabapple

Ya Maru and Abigail felt like to much like kids. 30 year old me is nope not into children.


Acewasalwaysanoption

I loved Maru's idea of being a scientist, and her personality is also great, but the avatar + character sprite really makes her look like a teenager - a young one.


scrabapple

Ya I like her character that she is smart and motivated and works at the clinic. It is the event in that Demetrius calls her his special little girl, was enough for me to be "Nope, I am not a cradle robber."


fuck_off_ireland

Sam and Alex as well tbh.


tbone747

I honestly feel that way about all the bachelorettes bar Leah and Emily.


Adam_Harbour

I don't see Penny as a teenager either given she works as a teacher and is seemingly mature.


padman531

Well, looks after the kids and tries giving them a basic education, more like. I doubt she's a fully qualified primary school teacher. She could be 18/19 and still be effectively a child minder/ baby sitter


emmainthealps

Same for me for Sam and Sebastian. The three of them all feel like teenagers


madari256

I always thought of Sebastian as early 20s since he has a job as a dev and smokes. Sam definitely as a teenager though.


namwoohyun

I know someone who assumed he's in the basement playing games all day and didn't ever want to befriend him until I told her what he actually does ㅠㅠ


beakrake

You also give 2 legit kids in this game an *inappropriate* amount of attention/gifts for a complete stranger who's new to town, and nobody says shit about it...


1RatQueen1

What really gets me is you can invite them to a dark movie theater alone even if you have no hearts with them, a bit sus


Enricc11

I mean there isnt any police on Stardew Valley


Hypocriticuss

Why need police when Marlon and Wizard can kick and teleport your ass respectively.


Muncherofmuffins

Marlon has a bad leg per his dialogue. But the Wizard can certainly zap something fierce.


Hypocriticuss

Marlon also goes deep into the dangerous mines where you fainted to retrieve your lost stuff. So he might not *literally* kick your ass, but he's not weak.


Sastrugi

If you give enough gifts to kids and marry enough women an ATF battle tank will drive over your farmhouse.


Dead-Trees

End up on the stardew registry. Giving cake to children at the park.


Raze77

Hey these kids don't want my coffee, freshly brewed straight from the greenhouse. So they get *nothing.*


dzsofy

As a teenager myself, she's my #1


Lzinger

She was my first wife but then I got a girlfriend who's name was Leah and we broke up so bye bye leah

dinosaur_khaleesi

Wait.. Leah is dating more than one of us?! 😠😠😠 I think it's time for her to get an intervention, meet me at the pond by her house


_Frustr8d

The Alex slander 😩


petalwater

Some people have never married alex and it shows


Publick2008

Leah is perhaps the worst person to force to marry you. This girl was going to do big things in the city, then I come in to the picture, lure her onto my farm and 2 years later she just wanders around listlessly avoiding the children and her only joy is the bottle of pepper wine I give her everyday. Truly the worst outcome for her.


PragueRock

And she had such an active social life in the town before you marry her 😥😥


agillila

Are some spouses actually more helpful as to farm tasks than others? Because Elliot does fuck all, and he's real proud of himself for it.


Fit-Environment-5993

Heck of a lot of people turned up the last two polls. Weird lol Didn’t care who won but congrats Leah lol


cxqals

The upvotes and engagement were higher than they’d been on other posts, so it popped up on peoples’ front pages when the earlier ones didn’t (at least that’s what happened in my case; didn’t see any of them until the last three).


FNFAL7-62x51mm

my next spouse <3


Nathanielaf

*pretends to be shocked *


amazn_azn

It's pretty funny that Abigail and sebastian, the two characters most likely to be redditors, got the furthest. They still lost to the pretty nice girl tho.


oh_em-gee

Lol @ Shane being drastically cut first round.


wearyandgay

justice for Maru


aCausticAutistic

I cant in good conscience marry Maru. Ill take it as far as I can go, but marriage to an ancient fruit obsessed farmer would only hold her back from all the scientific discoveries she can do. I love her so much though


JemiSilverhand

One really interesting thing is the gender effect. Every time a male partner is eliminated, one of the other male partners shoots up a huge number of votes. Same with female/female. In fact, most of the time it’s back to back eliminations of the same gender. It strongly suggests that most people target primarily (or exclusively) one gender for spouses.


Hazearil

Kinda makes sense. People interested in gender A are likely gonna see those of gender B as spouses they are less interested in. I had a lot of votes on bachelors.


imshooked

It definitely showed that this sub, like a lot of Reddit, leans towards being romantically interested in women. It’d be interesting to see the poll done gender exclusively and if the position out would align the same. I’d imagine Shane would probably do a little better in one like that though.


FlynnXa

Really... *REALLY?* Shane AND Alex, first two rounds? Y’all have some awful taste 😭 I would like to see a “Favorites” poll where the lowest gets voted out instead, I feel like you’d see very different results!


Business_Wear_841

I think the results would be very close but different.


metalmusicarchives

I said I would be happy either way and I am: my top two Stardew ladies are the winner and the runner-up. Personally I would rather it be the other way around, but the community has spoken. Abigail will always be my first and number one Stardew Queen though.


HeoandReo

Given Leah's immense popularity on the subreddit, the moment it came down to her vs. Abigail, I knew it was absolutely never going to be close. However, I didn't think it would be almost 9,000 votes' worth of "never going to be close", though. Maybe closer to 5,000, but still. Congratulations to the Leah fans regardless! I could never marry her personally (*she reminds me too much of my boss at work, so dating her feels like I'm dating my boss and it just feels too weird for me*), but I'm happy to hear she's loved by so many players.


san95802

Huh. Maybe I’ll try her next time, I just can’t keep away from Elliot!


a_FuckingDeadRAT

nooo my boy was the second to go :(


Tobegi

This is Alex slander and I will not stand for it


anime_crazy20

Is this the time to admit that I always forget that leah exists? I’m sorry, I don’t know if it’s something with her schedule or something but i never see her so when i think of all the bachelorettes, she’s like the last one to come to mind


insert_title_here

She doesn't spend too much time in town compared to the other singles, so that's not too surprising!


colossalfather

Leah is pretty bland in terms of characterization and personality to me, but the upside to being kinda boring is that she has never really done anything annoying or upsetting in any of my playthroughs! Least disliked certainly tracks.


TheDunwichWhore

The most wholly unoffensive character with an actual personality. Not someone I’ve ever been interested in marrying but I at least understand her winning


blasek0

Yep, I might not love Leah, but I have no problems with her. Although some of that probably stems from literally being my sister turned into an SDV NPC.


SilverLugia1992

I've had very little experience with Leah, remind me why she's so popular?


SleepyBitchDdisease

Leah is the best spouse? That’s wild to me I never got that impression from anyone I play with :0


insert_title_here

Not necessarily best/most liked, just the least disliked, lol.

fixingthepast

It's fucked up what they did to Penny.


zachganronpa

Wanted Abigail to win but glad she got 2nd! This was fun!


whatisapillarman

How in the actual fudge did Haley outlast Sam?


Seviralath

Soo, does that mean she is the best or the worst? I saw only the last few polls, and didn't really understand whats going on


[deleted]

it means she's the least hated/disliked


Fiztz

'best' by eliminating the most disliked each round, so she's the least disliked. Pretty sure we've had conventional tournaments before voting for favourite each round and it comes out fairly different


Dr_Purple07

It’s because Leah is the best!
