Francis Mosses is one of the characters of job simulation game That's Not My Neighbor. After the game's release, his popularity spread like a wildfire outside the fandom with countless amounts of fanarts and people thirsting over him. It's common to see people refer him as Tumblr Sexyman.
Canon Overview
Francis Mosses is a milkman who lives in the second room on the third floor. Like every other characters, the player has to determine whether you are dealing with a doppelganger or not, by checking his documents, appearance, ID card, and or if he is on the today's list. Not really much known about him due of the game doesn't provide backstory and personalities for the characters.
In the Nightmare Mode, his monstrous counterpart is Yog Sothoth, a goth vampire named after a Lovecraftian monster.
Fandom
His massive popularity and number of fans simping over him is largely attributed to his somewhat "normal" look compared to the cartoony art style the characters are drawn in. The popularity also extended to his doppelgangers, especially the Hoon Man and the blood-covered doppelganger/Scarlet Milk.
“Save the cow, milk the milkman” is a popular meme referring to massive number of simps he has gained. As for 6 October 2024, he has 310 works on Archive Of Our Own with 161 of them being Reader Insert fanfics.
While it's confirmed that Francis is the father of Anastacha Mikaelys[1], the marital status of Nacha Mikaelys is left unaddressed with many speculate that Francis and Nacha were divorced.
Reception
In the game's fandom itself, while it's common to make jokes of Francis's fanon vs canon appearance, some express distaste over fanarts depicted him as drastically different compared to his in-game appearance, with the most commonly noted examples such as fanarts downplaying his features (mainly his nose) and lightened his skin tone.
I feel bad about what happened to him cus he is like LOWKEY HOT!! a HOTTIE!! but he genuinely looks so different in fanarts .. like WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT IS FRANCIS MOSSES!!its kinda to the point where some fanarts look like doppelgangers[2]
*inhales* some artists need to stop taking away Francis's nose to make him "hotter", Heck I think no artists should be taking away any features even that being unique features or ethanical features or even body types from characters to make them "hotter". It's just gives the vibe they don't actually find them attractive, just add unnecessary things to make them attractive.[3]
Others also claims that he isn't as attractive as people make it to be and disliking him for being too overrated.
How do yall always manage to choose the most mid looking dudes imaginable[4]
maybe i’m just being a lesbian but this guy is not attractive at all he’s just some random white guy[5]
