Haven't seen the extra-marital propositions stuff, but not sure how 'immature' is a word that enters that conversation.

no where in my write up did I say or even imply that she is immature because of those lines. I said that she is immature. separately, I also mentioned that her persistently hitting on me when I'm married was one of the things she did that bugged me. heck, I even went out of my way to acknowledge that this is at least partially because of the difficulty in coding different character interactions. the reasons I think she is immature are totally unrelated and were partially talked about in Sam's write up.

Sebastian

Unlucky number 13 is Sebastian! So I just found out the other day when I looked all of this up that Sebastian is apparently the number one male marriage candidate. Kinda funny that him and Leah were adjacent on my ranking, and neither even made it into the top ten, but I swear I didn't do this on purpose. I didn't even know until well after the list was made!

Anyway, I would also say that the situation with Sebastian is different for a few key reasons. Firstly, a bunch of bachelors were ranked earlier and ranked pretty poorly in some of those cases. While Sebastian might not be a top ten character, he's still highly ranked for me as far as bachelors go. Secondly, the next set of five or so characters are all pretty close in my rankings. So Sebastian is really on the same level as some of my top 10. He was just pushed out by the fact that there are only ten spaces available.

The good, the bad, and the ugly. Eh, I guess there's nothing super ugly or terrible about Sebastian though. If there was he probably wouldn't have made it this high. Probably the worst thing I can say is that, similar to Leah, he's a bit immature for being one of the older male marriage candidates. And, similar to Leah, he becomes pretty selfish and a bit spoiled after you get married. He's pretty sweet before then, though, and it's not like he becomes terrible after you get married or anything. If you feel like you enjoy spoiling him then it's really a perfect fit.

Similar to a lot of your potential husbands, he does not work and just sort of hangs out all day after you get married. You can definitely make the argument that this is just more of a game design thing more than a character choice. At the very least, ConcernedApe thought the most important characters to devote resources to maintaining a job after marriage were Harvey, Penny, Maru, and Emily. Sebastian was not on that list.

One of the best reasons to marry Sebastian is that with his new heart event you can get a terrarium set up inside of the farm where he keeps frogs. As someone who really loves frogs, I think this is pretty awesome. And there's no other way to get it! You don't know true desperation until you've married someone for a pet frog.

Sebastian is an absolute nightmare to befriend early on. The game uses a system where you can't enter a person's room until you reach a certain level of hearts with them. Sebastian spends 80%+ of the time in his room. Yeah, figure that one out. You can't get into his room to befriend him until after you're already friends. Since the limit on gifts is twice a week, you can still do it efficiently. You just have to find him the two times a week he actually comes out of his room. Once you break that barrier you can go see him any time and it becomes easier.

One thing that helps is when I learned that, similar to most of his family, he likes Quartz. That definitely helps, since I'm often carrying a stack of Quartz with me when I'm going around to certain gifting locations. There are lots of people who like Quartz. Something to keep in mind if you're trying to befriend people who don't like foraged trash items.

Along with Willy, Sebastian is one of two characters who is ever shown smoking in Pelican Town. He's also the only character who gets high. At least, that we know of. I guess this is a positive or a negative depending on the person. Certainly there are people who think smoking is cool. And hey if you like to get high and you want a spouse who just sits around with you on the farm all day doing nothing, look, there's an option for that. His name is Sebastian.

Sebastian is shown to be a little bit moody at times, and I do kinda wish he had better interactions with his family. That being said he's not really as 'cold' or 'mean' as you might expect him to be based on his appearance. It's more like he just wants to be left alone by most people? But he doesn't go all sasuke edgelord on them either. It's easier to hang out in his room and let people forget he exists, I guess. Once again this feels like a positive or a negative depending on the person. If you're also an introvert it might be appealing to marry a character who is similar to you. And considering how popular Sebastian is, I'm going to guess there are a good number of introverts who play this game.
