I AM A MALE TSUNDERE Options

[Accidentally The...]

I will immediately become the most popular bachelor of the game.

But seriously, anyone else wish the tsundere candidate would remain a dinosaur to you the whole time (kind of like Jamie!) just to shake off the whole "hidden softer side" cliché?

Or that they could reject your marriage proposal or event invites even at higher heart levels?

I suppose I'm just getting tired of "Gill is the new Chase is the new Vaughn is the new Gray." And suddenly you give them enough gifts and it's love! They live and die at your whim! You're gonna go all Beauty and the Beast on us? Don't let him be redeemed for once.

On the other hand, it's certainly not the only cliché character stereotype out there, but I think the constant onslaught on Vaughn-oriented fanfics is wearing me down. I suppose I prefer to see a twist like Won (Won is all about tricking himself out with a sweet cash cow) or Rock (a lazy, dimwitted, insensitive lout). Granted, I prefer to really go for the ones who aren't douchebags at all (or at least don't make you work for a scrap of courtesy), I just hope they overhaul the tsundere archetype soon.

You're right about that, but tsuntsun can also stand on its own. (It's usually in reference to breaking the tsundere stereotype, though.)

Hrm. I dunno about the shy, sweet types. I get so bored of them. After a while they all just start to blend together and I start to compare them all to Maria. Like, when I played AP and talked to Candace, I immediately thought, "So..... you're Maria with half the personality, only you knit instead of write stories. Great." (For the record, I love Maria. I've just gotten bored of her stereotype.)

I'd like to see another girl like Alice from Hero of Leaf Valley. She was a high-maintenance ######, but after playing Harvest Moon for so many years, that was interesting. (Speaking of which, I need to finish wooing her one of these days.)
