    as someone who's battling with depression, i find Shane's storyline very relatable and also inspiring. i think Eric did a great job writing him as a character.
    but as many people have already mentioned, Shane is probably better as a friend, not as a love interest. i can say the same about Emily and that's probably because Shane and Emily weren't originally bachelors, so you couldn't marry them and there was no storyline for them as player's partners.

    It's not about fixing him. That he does by himself. It's about understanding and connecting with a unique person who just happened to be in a bad place. The haters are unaware about anything about his character beyond what shows. Quite misunderstood character.
    I was creeped out at first but by exploring his room i could instantly intuite he's the precious, creative, vibrant(i find these types to be almost magical) type, who became victim of the depressive corporate trap cause of his unresolved emotions because of his amazing heart. Then of course, cutscenes of all characters, dialouges reveal his personality beyond his addiction. I know these types irl and they are amazing even if sometimes anti-social which again is hilarious.

    Shane is legit my favourite bachelor because of his character arc. As someone who suffers from depression and suicidal ideation, I can relate to him.
    And I personally don't see marriage to him as "trying to fix him"; you are there to support him when he's ready to take the steps toward recovery, on his own terms, at his own pace. You can't just expect someone to feel less depressed just because you love them, or by telling them to cheer up, or to suck it up because others have it worse than you and that they have no reason to feel sad, etc. (Actual things that my ex has told me.) People suffering from depression aren't choosing to be negative and sad, it's an illness.
    Some people also make a lot of comments about how he goes back to drinking and how is room is a mess and how he doesn't seem to feel better after marriage, as if that makes him bad. Recovery, be it from mental illness or addiction, is NEVER a straight line. There will be times when you make huge progress, but there will also be relapses.
    He's really sweet when you see the real Shane start to emerge.

      I have issues pertaining to alcohol and I like that he can relapse, because anyone struggling with habit or addiction issues understands relapse is part of recovery!
      IDK what people expect from this character. It makes me wonder if people think mentally ill people are capable of being partners at all without it being codependent. :( and to those people that think people with depression and AUD aren't capable of being in a relationship: I've been in a happy relationship for 5 years now! I have moments of pain but we always work through it together, and I always take accountability for myself.

      It is weird though, it isnt like shane comes home drunk and he ain't abusive when in marriage, and from the heart event when he came out of the saloon he was happy to see you, it isnt like he was nervous or was hiding anything from you. Though true when finding someone, you shouldn't be the one to fix them after you're married, they should of already have taken care of the issues before they started dating you, in marriage you should not expect everything to magically fix itself, not everyone's journey is the same.

      The problem is not that he relapses that's understandable and adds to his character. The problem is that he relapses once you marry him. Stardew valley being the masterpiece that it is, has the characters stagnant once you marry them, so Shane will now spend the entire future that you're married to him being a slobbing drunk that the entire character arc leading up to your marriage was about him overcoming it. If he had relapses as an 8 heart or 12 heart event and they were about you reinforcing that you're there to help him and support him then that would be different. But no, as soon as you marry him he just becomes the exact same old person that he was

    Blue Chicken will forever be my favourite farmer design. We might not be able to fix Shane, but Blue Chicken is ready for the world!
    I definitely feel for Shane’s struggles, but he’s a candidate that I only view platonically. He definitely deserves a better parental figure than Marnie.
    Also, I know a lot of people are disappointed that Shane doesn’t “seem better” after he’s hooked up with the farmer and gotten married, but to me, I feel like that’s more realistic? Battling addiction is an ongoing struggle that doesn’t end just because you find a support romantic partner. I do agree that it’s too bad there aren’t more signifiers of his improvement and working on other passions after marriage though; even if his situation probably leans closer to reality, it feels unsatisfying from a game perspective.

    shane gets so much hate and im real sick of it because nobody takes actual notice in him.
    when youre playing with shane, your job isnt to fix him. youre there to support him and help him through his issues as you would a close friend. you comfort him and push him towards the correct choices but also let him figure it out on his own.
    i see so much drama about him still drinking even after marriage and its just blatantly overlooked how improved he is.
    shane went to the saloon every day, drinking a beer in the corner everyday. but after you marry him, he only goes there every one-two days. even at that point he isnt drinking alcohol, hes in the corner playing an arcade game with a jojo cola. his little comments about beer are natural. hes use to drinking, just because hes seeking help doesnt mean hes automatically cured of his alcoholism, but hes slowly getting better as these things take time and effort.
    also him seeking counseling also seems to be overlooked.
    i know he doesnt literally leave to go to zuzu city for his sessions, but he could easily do off-screen things, as in over the phone sessions (which a lot of people do, especially if they live farther away)
    shane is such a strongly written character that people over look, and thats why hes one of my favorites. his storyline, history, lore, its all so frighteningly realistic for a cute farming pixel game.
    appreciate shane more, he truly deserves better.

      What makes you think Shane ever suffered from alcoholism? I think he suffered from depression, which led him to drink excessively. There are several hints in the game that some bad events happened in his life. However, there are no hints that he has/had alcohol addiction as a chronic disease.

    I only romanced Shane so far, and I have to say, that I can't understand people, who say he's bland or doesn't change, when married. Yes, his room is a mess, but he is so nice and lovely, helps on the farm, cares for the animals, "checks the house" before winter, makes you food and more. He's the best. And now that I found a mod to change his clothes, he is even more handsome.

    I always liked making friends with Shane. I only have one playthrough where I'm marrying him though, and I'm using the Immersive Shane mod in it. I love that it does things like change his loved gifts after he enters treatment so that he no longer loves being gifted beer. Instead he will legit get pissed off if you give him that when he's recovering. He also has content to expand on his treatment and recovery, and best of all he can take over for Marnie in her shop when she's out. It just feels like it fixes how his story suddenly kinda hits a brick wall after marriage.

    Shane and Alex are my favorite marriage candidates because I like their stories and their development.
    Here's the thing: I'm not trying to "fix" Shane when I marry him. He ain't particularly broken by the time marriage becomes an option - in fact, he's pulling his shit together pretty well before that.
    My motivation is to protect and shelter him and give him a break - I can transform his life, so I do. (Actually, the farmer transforms the life of whoever he marries - thereby "saving" whichever NPC they lite on - not just Shane. Think about it, it's true! Every NPC is trying to escape something in this game.) The first time I saw his cliff cut scene, I said out loud, "OK, he needs me."
    Shane doesn't need an intervention as much as he needs support. Honestly, I don't give a damn if he pops a few brews watching the Tunnellers' game at night. That doesn't make him an alcoholic - he's a depressive who uses alcohol to self-medicate and maybe, just maybe, to relax. People get so judgmental over perfectly normal behavior patterns. Besides, he's in bed by 10pm every night! Some Libertine HE is!
    I also don't care about his messy room. If that's the worst manifestation, all things considered, what's the big whoop? The only difference is that in real life, I'd be able to get his rug cleaned!

    Shane seems to help himself when you make friends with him, if you see the heart events. but i believe he's better as a friend then a spouse. also i thought Marnie was okay but seeing how she acts towards Shane here, i kinda hate her. during the entire time Shane is fighting his addiction, Marnie is making jokes about it and basically making it seem like she things he's nothing more than a drunkard. and i'm so pissed about his room and how he acts when you marry him, the lines, where he's like "beer or cider" but i do like the fact he goes to video games to cope with it, as it's something people actually do to stop.

    His marriage definitely wasn't handled very well though. I wasn't expecting his depression to be cured, but it felt like he just regressed and all the character development disappeared. Him going to therapy also isn't mentioned again, which is disappointing. I think the immersive Shane mod fixes a lot of the problems I had with him while also staying true to the character.
