so. I'm fishing on the dock near Willy's shop right? And it's roughly 6pm. And who do I see, on their merry way back home from ginger island?

All. Six. Bachelors.

Alex, Sam, Harvey, Elliott, Sebastian, Shane, and NO ONE ELSE. like... were they having a boys day? Throwing the gridball around in the sand?

...are they a polycule? Was this their whole-polycule-date?

Literally WHAT are the odds of this happening, I would love to know.

#Shit just keeps happening in this game and I just gotta roll with it #I saw Sam and Alex come out the shop & I'm like 'oh I didn't know they went and hung out with Willy sometimes' #Then Harvey came out. Then everyone else. #sdv sam #sdv alex #sdv harvey #sdv shane #sdv sebastian #sdv elliott #This is the same file that inspired my oc & where I accidentally gave Willy bug meat on his birthday. #& where I keep seeing gil and marlon at the movies. #Also I once accidentally set off a bomb near linus on this file I think #Hence why said oc is related to Mr. Qi of all people. #He just keeps doing/ witnessing Stuff™️ #Sdv #stardew valley

I feel like I've seen most of what interests me in FiMFiction for the time being, so I read through some good ol' reliable Stardew Valley fanfics last night, only to realize.

Haley x Female Farmer is basically Rarijack. Rarijack adjacent.

#personal #delete later #not art #unfortunate that i'm really not into the BIG popular ships in stardew #like. i downloaded talkohlooey's character sprites for my sdv because the men just look so much better #with talkohlooey sebastian actually looks like a cute guy i'd wanna date. default seb looks like a very very specific white boy. #like. the mod of an anime community discord server. #he looks like every white anime fan i knew in high school who very intentionally tried to look and dress more asian #so unfortunately i'm not really into any of the male bachelors. They are All White. #I went after Alex at first but he's a white bread jock. #So I'm really not interested in ships with Shane or Elliot or Sebastian which make up 2/3 of the romance fics #I do think Harvey is cute he has a lot of personality and he's a sweetheart #stardew expanded has victor AND olivia which is such a fucking win. Asians fuck yeah #I usually pursue Penny. Fluttershy vibes lmao #hopefully chocolatier has some dateable men who Aren't White. #Really can't recommend Talkohlooey's sprites more. Fantastic art style AND character design direction to boot. They made Emily Not #Terrifying Looking which is incredible. #still wish you could date the milfs though who said that #i said it. i'm fessing up. why did concernedape put all these women in unfulfilling marriages with mediocre/crappy men #what are you getting at.

[specialbluehens]

i think it would be very silly, a little hee hee funny, if shane ended up put in an older sibling role (without trying) to the younger bachelors/bachelorettes

#it starts with sam @ joja #asking for advice esp while kent is gone & shane is like 🤨 ay yo idc #but eventually shane will just. casually answer sam's questions. maybe he likes him. no. it's bc answering will get sam to shut up #shut up #& then one day he's passing by alex who's trying to perfect the way he throws his gridball #cue former griball player shane: ur form sucks #alex gets mad & asks shane to do it better then #shane does it perfectly & alex suddenly asks if shane can show him #shane is confused but goes step by step #& then alex just starts asking more questions later & shane is like ????? ok????? #& then one day while it's raining sebastian stops shane & asks him if therapy rlly does help #& shane is like dude idk if i can rlly talk to u abt this go 2 ur mom #sebastian looks so sad tho #so shane does explain it & the process #seb continues going to shane with questions #this cycle continues with the other younger bachelors/bachelorettes #until shane has this gaggle that follows him & he's so confused as to why this is happening #emily thinks it's rlly funny #shane is groaning & slamming his head on the table the entire time #ramblings #my headcanons

the narrative that max can’t be described as one of the best simply because his teammates haven’t been as good as him sits so weirdly with me.

like seeing people talking about the calibre of lewis’ teammates against max’s and using it as a reason to discredit max is so wild to me

max is a beast in the car and you don’t have to like him to acknowledge that fact. objectively, he is so talented and the fact that his teammates haven’t been able to match him should prove that more.

it also completely discredits people like daniel, who prior to being teammates with max, out-performed seb, and was accepted as a brilliant new young talent. the reason red bull were not able to give max a better teammate in pierre and alex was because they simply were not prepared for daniel to leave the team and were not ready to replace him. and those drivers were not ready to compete in a top team yet.

now they have checo, who is clearly experienced, and certainly not a bad driver by any means, but he still is not matching max. because max is simply that good.

#pls don’t share your opinion with me if it different to mine bc i simply do not care #im not posting this to start a conversation i’m just ranting #this is a whole ass rant bc i am sick and tired of people discrediting drivers who are clearly outrageously talented #on the basis of ‘i don’t like him so he can’t be good’ #like wtf kind of argument is that #max verstappen #daniel ricciardo #sebastian vettel #red bull racing #alex albon #maxy baby tag

piercings i would assign to the bachelors

alex

one earlobe

septum (edit: stretched septum with stacked gold rings)

nipples (diagonal bars)

elliott

symmetrical multi-earlobe & helix piercings, maybe a conch ring

OR. hear me out. conch punches with crystal plugs that shine when the light hits them from behind

dermal below the collarbone (off to one side preferably)

harvey

honestly i feel like he wouldn't like them at all. if i was gonna recommend one to him i would say daith

sam

tongue for sure

both nostrils, maybe add high nostrils too

earlobes stretched a little bit

hips (impractical? yes. sexy as hell?? YES)

sebastian

canine bites

bridge

stretched earlobes (bigger than sam's but still smaller than 1" i think)

lower navel

shane

eyebrows

both earlobes, ufo on one side

snake bites but only after he quits his job

i'd say nipples too but idk if he would be confident enough

these aren't like definitive for me, there's lots of different set-ups i like for each of them (like sebastian with dahlias?? elliott with a medusa?? alex with back dimple dermals??? HELLO????) so um tell me your ideas too please :)

#listen. LISTEN. #i could just apply whatever i think is the sexiest but i DIDN'T ok? this is about personality and their tastes too #like oh my god imagine shane with his back dimples pierced?? it would be HOT but he would never get those #stardew valley #sdv alex #sdv elliott #sdv sam #sdv sebastian #sdv shane #skipping harvey's tag since i have nothing to say (running away cutely) #sdv bachelors #stardew valley bachelors #stardew valley headcanon #sdv headcanon #filigreefarm

[not-poignant]

For the behind the scenes asks 20, 21 & 26 about A Stain That Won't Dissolve please!! <slightly obsessed w it rn

Ahhh - so I have 21 in the queue, it's coming! The TL;DR for that one is 'I didn't expect so many people to apologise for the way the town behaves towards Alex, and it's like watching abuse apologism and self-defense of inaction around familial abuse in real time, which is a weird phenomenon that happens sometimes when you write trauma narratives.'

20. What is something you wish more people noticed about this fic?

Hmm.

I don't know if it's something I wish for, so much as something that I think people don't notice as much and I think it would be interesting if they did.

Things like... it's a shame more people don't realise that the reason Alex isn't a 'good communicator' is because no one in that town is except for maybe Dr Harvey. Even Haley, who is getting better, is a people pleaser who undercut herself and her skills all her life. People can't learn what isn't around them to learn. So when I get comments like 'I wish Alex would just open up to these people in the town' I can't help but always think: 'Why would he based on how the town has treated him for a solid 25 years.'

For me, connecting these dots naturally flows together, but I've had 10 years of practice writing trauma recovery, and 43 years of practice experiencing many different kinds of abuse and many different flavours of trauma recovery and I think, actually, I now have a weird skillset in this area that other folks don't have, or don't even know exist. So it's not something I 'wish' they noticed because firstly it would likely mean more readers who are victims, but secondly, I also appreciate having this be something more subtle, and it's not like I'm upset or angry when people say that Alex is the poor communicator because like, he is. He's a symptom of the entire town.

So it's like, it's normal for people to notice what's right in front of them (Alex not communicating well and then thinking his problems would be solved if he just talked about stuff, because there's this presumption that everyone wants to listen if he'd just...talk), that's actually the fun part of writing? I love the comments people leave so much, and I learn a ton, and I love the insights folks share. I'm sure people are noticing a lot of stuff like this and just not saying so. Especially folks who have lived these situations and just can't be fucked talking about it in comments because life's hard. (And it's also possible to notice that and still be mad or frustrated that Alex doesn't communicate more).

I don't think there's really anything else though. I think that's partly because I'm not... uhhh, sitting there going 'PLEASE NOTICE THIS' because the gift of writing serials for the most part is pivoting when people aren't noticing something subtle, and thinking 'this might be me not meeting the reader where they are, I can step it up in the next chapter.' So, I feel like I flow towards pushing the things I want people to notice or gravitate towards, and as a result, they almost always do.

And with the stuff they don't, there's usually extremely understandable life-experienced-based reasons for that!

...This response is really long x.x

26. Wild Card! I'll tell you a fun fact about this fic!

I have actually always imagined Alex and Sebastian making out together. I imagined it even before I wrote The Wind that Cuts the Night, but Alex/Sebastian fics existed, I didn't like them (no shade to those authors, but I clearly wanted a very specific crunchy kind of angsty toppy Sebastian fic and very understandably no one was writing my fantasies they were writing their own lmao), and I thought Elliott/Alex would be faster to write. (It was).

That's actually one of the reasons I make it clear that Sebastian is gay and topping the farmer in The Wind that Cuts the Night! And also why I felt it was important for Alex to know that. Even back then, I couldn't resist just a little tiny glimmer of some kind of chemistry, even if it was just friendship chemistry.

I find Sebastian really annoying as a spouse. He's one of my favourite NPCs to romance, and my least favourite to marry of the ones I marry. The storyline of Martingale divorcing him is based off me daydreaming about doing that (I can't because it's mean) in one of my farms. I found him cold and detached compared to many other NPC spouses, and too work-focused. So the premise of an older Sebastian recovering from being divorced for these exact flaws was extremely appealing and vindicating to me. Most people don't feel the same way about in-game Sebastian as I do, but I'm like 'you have so much potential and then oh no.' It turned out Martingale felt that way too, and eventually did something about it.

And that gave me a really flawed Sebastian to work with and that's been awesome.

I did always imagine him as being a dominant/top/sadist though. It's actually really hard for me to imagine him as anything else.

I don't think this fact is fun but it is a fact! Sebastian is a character I love but he's also literally 'I can improve him' and this fic is me doing that lol

From this meme!

#asks and answers #memey goodness #thespectaclesofthor #a stain that won't dissolve #i like a really flawed sebastian who thinks he's not as flawed as he is #and i like a really flawed alex who thinks he's fundamentally flawed and broken when he's not #and apparently smashing those two together is like sdaklfjsad #just fun right now lmao #administrator gwyn wants this in the queue

What songs make you think of your faves?

Ooo this is difficult because my brain is basically a big jumbled mess of songs and story/character relations, and I haven’t made a proper character playlist in a while, but I’ll do my best!!

I have a lot more on hc based storylines but I haven’t introduced that version of Alex to the public very much yet.

Saw a few people saying they think Haley seems the most “straight coded” out of all of the bachelorettes which is actually crazy to me.

#do people not know that feminine wlw exist? #Haley is so comphet sapphic to me #like mean lesbian vibes #one of their reasons is how she’s paired with Alex but like he canonically has the better story when your a man so idk bestie #they also said they think abigail is the most queer coded out of the girls and I disagree #but don’t think to hard I’m just biased cause I’m not a fan of Abby #Abby isn’t straight either like obviously none of them are but idk also her canonical pairing is with Sebastian soooo #double standard #please don’t kill me #stardew valley #stardew haley

[silent-partner-412]

playing with the free love mod is really making me realize how bland a lot of the marriage dialogue is for the base game stardew characters cuz now i have other modded characters in my home to directly compare them to.

like, shiro and jeric from ridgeside will always have a couple lines based on their personality or story up to that point. like yes they’ll repeat lines but most everything they say is still interesting.

meanwhile sam will sometimes just be like “what’s on your agenda today?” and that’s it. like some of their lines will be a bit more fun and flavorful but i still think on average the base game characters have it way worse and have lost a lot of personality once i marry them.

#stardew valley #ridgeside village #i also noticed this with lance when i married him last time #i think it helps in the case of jeric and lance that they had shit to do still once i marry them #like what the hell are alex or sebastian or sam gonna do once i marry them and they move in #idk i think it would be cool if you saw sebastian on his laptop doing his coding work here and there #and for sam to actually pick up his guitar and play it #stuff like that so it doesn’t feel like they’re just accessories for my big gay harem house
