when i say that the past week of playing SoS FoMT has completely altered my brain chemistry.... -____- My two biggest reasons for not playing the remake when it originally came out is a) the game doesn't have an actual central plot (no real objective) which is difficult for me to commit to and b) none of the 10 OG "normal" marriage candidates do anything for me. Like they're fine (most of them lol) and Trent is hot but I can't get past him being "Doctor" in this RIP. I was like huh I guess i'll try and go for Huang because his design/sprites are so cute ;w; and I like me some shady salesmen lmfao (and forget marrying the HG, Kappa or Gourmet. I don't have that kind of patience). Then I was like oh yeah Jennifer and Brandon are in this too and both v. cute...👀 I started going after Brandon as a joke (I had just seen the Killers in concert and Mrs. jake-marshall aka Morph was like "Oh look it's your Mr. Flowers.") but now. BUT NOW. He's easily in my Top 5 HM/SoS marriage candidates ever (guy or girl. Honestly I might put only Owen and Elise ahead of him) and in the past week I've written almost 8k (might hit 10k) of a fic about him and Naomi being ADHD 4 anxiety and figuring their shit out. Very personal and cathartic to say the least but SoS really did say "we are going to create a marriage candidate so neuroatypical" and handed him over to me. Mine now. :) Apologies for who I'm going to be the rest of this summer obsessing over this game/fic.
