Stardew Valley's Sebastian is Pelican Town's resident emo, who dwells in his parents' basement working on his career, or tinkering with his motorbike outside. He's one of the most popular marriage candidates and for good reason – he loves video games, frogs, comic books, and sci-fi novels, though he has been known to hide away from the world and become deeply absorbed in his hobbies.

How do I marry Stardew Valley Sebastian?
As with all Stardew proposals, before you can get married, you need to earn ten hearts of friendship with Sebastian and give him a bouquet from Pierre's shop at eight hearts of friendship. You'll also need to have upgraded your farmhouse at least once and have access to the tide pool to the east of the beach.
You'll then need to buy the mermaid's pendant from the Old Mariner at the tide pool. He will only appear when it rains, and the pendant will cost you 5,000g. After you give this to Sebastian, you will get married three days after the proposal.
Once married, Sebastian will move into your farmhouse, setting up a room to the right of the master bedroom. He'll also set up an area behind the house for his motorcycle, where he'll occasionally work on it. He will sometimes offer you coffee or gifts he found in the cave, and on New Year's Eve, he will give you a celebratory beer.
That's everything you need to know about Stardew Valley's Sebastian! For more content like this, take a look at our Stardew Valley Emily and Stardew Valley Shane guides.
