One intriguing Stardew Valley player created a shrine of all their previous in-game partners, hanging their portraits on the walls. Since its 2016 release, this indie gem has been much-loved by players across the globe, particularly for its diverse cast of NPCs. With such varying personalities and relationships, there are plenty of fan-favorite characters and reasons to go down differing paths for each new playthrough.
Dedicated Stardew Valley player Defiant_apricot (via Reddit) made a hilarious shrine dedicated to their ex-lovers in-game. Every romanceable bachelor and bachelorette’s portraits are hung on the walls above one of their favorite items on a table, dedicating a section to each of them. Admitting in their title that “I am a truly horrible person,” this funny player intentionally romanced the whole town just to create a room filled with these collectibles.

Collect Your Lovers’ Portraits In Stardew Valley
Much to some players’ surprise, Stardew Valley does allow players to separate from their partners. Upon going to the Mayor’s house and spending 50,000g, you can get a divorce from your in-game spouse and find love with another Stardew Valley marriage candidate. This can get pretty costly though, especially for players like Defiant_apricot that are going through the entire town’s dating pool.

Once you have married someone in-game, you can actually find unique collectible portraits of your partner for sale from the traveling cart for 30,000g. While they won’t constantly be available, this unique item is one that’s delightful to collect and put up, especially if you’re actually fond of your spouse. Thankfully, there are some mods that make romances and friendships easier to max, aiding players if they’re hoping to build relationships with a plethora of characters.

While most players will be framing their beloved spouse on the wall of their home, Defiant_apricot had other silly ideas. In a dungeon-like corridor of stone floors and walls, they’ve collected framed images of all the in-game bachelors and bachelorettes, along with a loved item for each of them on a table below. Everything about it is creepy and unsettling, with Reddit user dogpoweredvehicle even commenting, “Big serial killer vibes.”
A project like this takes a long time, and a lot of in-game money to complete. From building relationships with every character, to purchasing their portrait and later divorcing them just to put together this hilarious shrine, the dedication was definitely worth it. If players want to give this a shot themselves, they may want to start with Stardew Valley‘s easier romance options and work upwards, making a bizarre shrine of their own.
