My current date everything tier list (absolutely subject to change)
Idk why i named the tier okay, its kind of more friends but not besties, like i get it but not for me kinda thing
Gonna explain a few and ramble under the cut, potential realisation spoilers underneath!
My Top 5
- Mateo
I mean he's so sweet?? Such a green flag in like every way tbh, plus as an animal lover, having pets is just even better.
- Eddie & Volt
They are both beautiful haha and their arc was one of my favourites to play through, even if Eddie REALLY needs a day off. I've always loved the dynamic of the stoic mysterious introvert with the charismatic charming extrovert, they just have sooo much chemistry.
- Bodhi
I fell HARD doing his love ending, writing a song, being a socially aware king, his entire vibe being laid back is just so cute and he is just so much fun. Plus damn his thighs are 😍
- Skips/ Shadowlord
First, his voice in Shadowlord form is 😍. And I can only imagine cute music concert dates, making playlists for each other, playing games together, whether it be old school co-op, FPS games or having a Minecraft world together and building a cute goth house 😭
- Doug
Lowkey my favourite I need a toxic fave in every game I play and idk his vibe is more my thing, I'm not someone who appreciates people being too "simpy" (for the lack of a better word) and someone who you can banter with a bit more >>>> (even if he's a walking red flag lmao)
Lovee
(not all of them, just a couple)
-Betty
I mean look at her??? She is gorgeous and she is so empowering. Her realisation and ending were so satisfying bc I can imagine her making the people she works with so comfortable. Her being a photographer just makes me think of all the cute dates with her and her taking cute candid shots of you throughout and ugh miss Betty 😭
-Hector
I found him so endearing, his face reveal was adorable and I just want to tell him he is a cutie every day until he believes it 😤
-Keyes
Dramatic queen ❤️ Her design is one of my favourites, she looks like royalty and I could listen to her play all day and I honestly really enjoyed her arc and love ending a LOT
-Monique
Monique was one whose design didn't jump out at me at first, and I didn't do her story til later on in my playthrough bc tbh I wasn't that interested, but she is an acts of service girlie who would give you advice as a form of affection and her little tour around the house was so fun.
Her little scandal with Scandalabra make me giggle a little, she definitely is more fun than initially thought and her ending story of her pizza shop was really nice and I'm glad she wasn't lost to a big corporate career
-Dolly
Oh my God her voice melts me. She literally has everything, looks, that sweet voice and she is a wan in STEM, like she's perfect. I found myself really liking her more and more, especially because her route wasn't just flirting with her constantly but actually speaking and having good conversations and I just want imagine a relationship with her ever being shallow, and going with her to lectures or special talks, even if I don't understand it all would be so fun ^_^
- Jean-Loo
I genuinely did not like him at first haha, but I loveee Max Mittleman (arataki itto my beloved himbo) and he really made me laugh unintentionally and I ended up really liking him but his realisation bruh that was depressing. Poor guy was probably the only dateable who ended up nowhere near where he wanted to be :(((
- Dirk
He's pretty and a weeb? Sign me tf up. I also have been in a similar situation but with a friend, and ik ppl say he is toxic but I have to say, when you constantly feel like you need to be on the defensive against someone you care for, it does bring out some of the worst in a person. Is he perfect, no, but hit rather close to home
- Zoey
Ashley Burch did a phenomenal job with her character omg. I just want to hug her so bad, and getting another shot at life is so nice, she was one of the first characters I realised because I just wanted her to see the world and live again SO BAD
- Dunk, Tony and The Hanks
I love himbos, in any form <3
Dislikes
(not all of them)
-Arma
I know she has a LOT of trauma but girlie almost burning the house down was not my idea of a fun time. I probably should have just used content aware for her bc her whole story was just not for me
-Mac
Ik SO many people love Max, and I can see why they do, but they're just too down bad ALL of the time. Also just a thing for me (I got their love ending through a guide early on but watched another streamer get their hate ending) I wasn't a fan of them giving you a hate ending for setting a boundary (even if it seems silly over fanfic), like ik they needed updates but idk, boundaries are a big think for me and that gave me SUCH an ick. It's a shame bc I love their design, especially their tattoo's like the binary sleeve looks amazing 😭
(I think you can get around it with SPECS points but idc, still not gonna redeem em for me)
-Scandelabra
Again ik he's a favourite and I get why he appeals to some, but I just wasn't a fan of him being a bit of a creep imo, again, probably just a me and boundaries thing, no hate to Scandelabra fans at all ❤️
GET TF AWAY FROM ME
-Fantina
She is just too much, ik I liked Hector and not her, when their behaviour is quite similar but she is just far too much, like she's a LOT
-Keith
Bro is straight up evil and manipulative like nah im good
-Tina
I just really don't like her drama, also tf raising ur voice at me like that all time?? She is cute though and I loveee her accent but a million miles away from me pls
-Dishy
Terrifying
-Friar Errol
I'm REALLY not religious, I dont shame others for being so but I hate people who try to push their beliefs onto someone else, its always made me mad
-Rebel
Duck u Rebel 😤 idk how I got their friendship ending like rude ass duck, peeing in my bath??? Like idk how anyone finds them remotely tolerable to hang out with
Ok rambles done, I think ahaha i just needed to ramble about my faves/non faves for a minute lmao
Finished date everything last night and the fandom sleeps on Monique SO much, her route was really sweet and I didnt expect her character to be like it was - she is such a cutie!!
Im deep in date everything rn and keyes' love route was absolutely worth the work bc girlie writes us a whole piano piece while going through it. A dramatic queen but ugh i love her sm
Also hear me out keyes x !singer reader writing songs together, adorable
Or bc your lie in april is my fave anime of all time keyes x violinist! Reader doing duets would also be phenomenal (ignoring the fact Your Lie in April is sad for this one ahaha 🥲)
afk journey's new season has me in a chokehold, not posted in months but Isla makeover for the new season, since the ponytail was getting a lil tired haha
ft basically 3 parts of every alt friend group that exists, ever
side note I wanna cosplay Kulu SO bad, her design is everything
