    what’s up gamers!! hope you enjoy the video!! def one of my favourites to work on! i appreciate my malewife <3 tiny announcement: this video has subtitles!! i’ve also added subtitles to the Alex video. they’re not ideal, i just corrected some auto generated ones so the timings aren’t like. fabulous. but at least you know what words i’m saying! i’ll add subs to other 4 videos when i get a chance :) my wedding is in less than a month so really not sure when the next vid will be out, sorry I bet it’s so annoying that i keep saying that kind of thing lol, more than anything i just want to have endless free time to make these as often as i first was! might just wait until after the wedding to film cos i'm finally getting a haircut and my roots done soon lol but yeah i’ll literally just have to see love u guys. thanks for being potentially THE nicest comment section on the whole of YouTube <3 P.S. is the new set up ok? i feel like the audio came out a little subpar, i think the mic was too far away from my mouth and also the room was too echoey. and i just used natural light so the colours change every 10 seconds lol. how do people do this i have no idea P.P.S. i decided to add the 1.6 content into the big supercut that i will make after all the videos! thank you everyone for the suggestions. no spoilers for now <3 P.P.P.S. I JUST REALISED I FORGOT TO ADDRESS HOW HE CHARGES U AFTER HE MARRIES U. fuck i literally had that on a post it note lmao. anyway i think it's a balancing thing for the gameplay. if you could have no consequences for passing out/dying then everyone would just marry harvey as like a 'hack'. and that takes all the fun out of the romances. and also he needs money as we cover, and medical supplies cost money. but it would kinda sting tbh like babe it's ME. but i have a mod that takes out all the consequences of dying/passing out soooo lmao

    My hc is that Harvey started as a trauma surgeon. Also the man is a beast because he can carry you from wherever you passed out
  • @bananaktchp
    LEAVE HIS SPEEDOS ALONEEE that’s my raw rotisserie chicken husband you’re talking to buster
  • @_frogerino
    comment again to say i actually disagree with the sad interpretation of his fascination with the radio. i interpreted it as he has accepted that a dream isn’t possible, but he has found a way to connect with his passion that is within his ability.
  • @maybelater2160
    I just ADORE how hard his bio and that diary entry throw shade at him. "He is a little old for a bachelor", "There are few older bachelors. All of them kinda suck! First of all, Harvey is a pussy" Like can he live? He is beeing publicly shamed for beeing unmarried in his 30s by the fabric of the universe itself.

    thank you for mentioning th treatment of george. strangers always try to push my wheelchair without asking and i refuse to chose the dialogue telling penny she did a nice thing even though there’s a penalty for it 😂

    Hiding my face behind my hands when you divorce Harvey like I’m watching a scary movie

    Okay I love Harvey, and I hate that everyone thinks he’s boring. I feel like it makes sense. He’s the only doctor and likely doesn’t want to cross boundaries but as soon as you start dating him he’s really sweet. He’s just a little lonely.
  • I interpret his 6 heart event as him feeling the crush beginning on the player and feeling self conscious of it. He didn't want anyone to know, especially you. I think he wanted to get into shape to impress you because he wasn't sure what else to do. He even approached the ladies to join their class in secret. I always kinda saw him as more mother hen type so he would get along with the wives better. Pure headcannon part of me thinks they gossip about their husbands and they can tell Harvey has a crush on someone so they want to help him as friends do.

    I recently married Harvey (again), and sometime during the wedding day, I met Maru. She said something like this: "you look plenty healthy to be at the clinic all the time. Now I know why". Something like that. For me, I interpret that line as you've been dating Harvey in secret. No one in the town knows about you two. And Maru only found out ON THE WEDDING DAY!
  • @damianporter942
    i loved harvey! his romance path feels very "two adults coyly flirting" to me and i love it. him being a buzzkill was always interpreted by me as him caring about the player. he's always just seemed like a very anxious very caring loner who keeps to himself.

    "I think I'm allergic to this" is British for "I would rather not touch this, but I also don't want to hurt your feelings as it's clear that you've put some modicum of effort into this with the intent to for me to enjoy it."
  • @lilpetz500
    I love that our guy Harvey found a fulfilling part time job doing Beach. Interestingly, his moustache is also missing in the beach sprite, possibly implying that he is a professional doctor who wears a fake moustache to work
  • @bingonight1504
    Harvey's allergic to salmonberries too as i found out last week. poor guy is allergic to so many things someone should keep him in a bubble
  • @BlueLithiumxXx
    THAT'S MY HUSBAND! i love him, his arc, his way of living and the fact that he's not as shallow as he seems. he's imo one of the best and you can't change my mind
  • @yaq-yaq
    His blushing portrait is very cute, it might be one of my favorite things about him. I'm just a sucker for guy characters that get so flustered like that when they have a crush.
  • @CocoBombLeche
    Fun Fact with USA Healthcare, some places are so rural that Family Medicine doctors will perform some basic types of surgery on patients if they're too far away from a major hospital.
  • @islanddryad
    Paused the vid just to say I totally agree with you about the sunblock thing just being Harvey’s way of showing doctorly concern for someone he works with. Maru is the closest thing Harvey has to a friend, it makes sense that if everyone’s health is important to him, he’d want her to be protected from the sun too, especially at the Luau where everyone is going to be in the sun for potentially hours. Folks are way too eager to think, “oh this guy is showing concern for someone, he must have a crush on them”. Perfect example being my friend who thinks any dude that is nice to her MUST BE CRUSHING ON HER SO HARD, even if ya know… it’s their job…. Because she’s in a store they work in… it’s kinda their job to be nice 😅

    As a nurse, my take on the 2 heart event is that George is capable of making his own decisions, but doctors (and nurses) are required to do their best to take care of people, which causes conflict to occur pretty often. Getting a spouse in is usually considered as acceptable if they're one of the caretakers of the person, like Evelyn is to George, since they're so closely involved in everything medical and have more personal sway on the person, especially in the case that the spouse/sibling/child/friend has power of attorney or is designated as the person to enact the patients will in case of emergencies/situations where the patient cannot make the decision for themselves. That can be through lack of conciousness, dementia, or even temporary inhibitions like post surgery delirium. It's also a difficult balancing act, having to take care of people that cannot take care of themselves, since you have a moral (and often legal) obligation to do everything in your power to keep that person alive and well, unless they have issued a DNR order of themselves.
