i want to write but can’t think of what to write, this is so sad ;~; instead, i spent the past hour looking at and trying stardew valley aesthetic mods. ever since i started using mods (esp visual mods to: tone down the colors, give you cute architecture like rose-covered farm buildings, change farm animal visuals, etc) i can’t go back to the vanilla interface
i don’t do anything significant that would affect co-op gameplay ♡
will list some of my favorite mods. i keep my mods as simple as possible and they only require content patcher:
◇ vibrant pastoral recolor
◇ elle’s new barn animals (as well as elle’s new coop animals, elle’s dog replacements, etc)
◇ foliage redone
◇ overgrown fairy buildings
◇ ana’s toned down sprites
◇ leyalluna’s portraits
I saw some Kanna x Hama art on deviant arc (by Leyalluna Yoo)

You can't tell me they aren't a bit fruity.
A cute headcanon (that could be canon as well tbh):
Kanna was scared and cold when she first arrived in the Southern Water Tribe. She was a member of one of the richest family and sold her expensive to be able to buy transportation to her sister tribe.
When she first arrived there, everybody was suspicious of her and knew that if she them the truth, they would send her back, and she didn't traval across the entire world so they would turn her down.
No. She couldn't go home, even the thought of her mother and father's cries made her regret her decision, but she just couldn't go back. Kanna decided to take her destiny in her own hands.
—What are you doing here?! Are you a spy?
A tall man said suspiciously, holding a sharp boomerang in his hand.
—No, I'm not! I'm from the Northern Tribe!
Her heart was pounding out her chest, fingers freezing touching her brown arm.
—How can we trust you?!
The man put his boomerang close to her throat, Kanna starting to breath heavily, her head feeling like spinning around as she started sobbing.
—Stop it, Sernin!
A clear and deep voice made the short water tribe girl stop breathing for a second. A slightly taller girl put her hand on the man's arm, trying to push his weapon down.
—Does she look like an enemy to you? Look how scared and cold she looks.
Hama took her coat off and gave it to Kanna that was watching her in awe, feeling her heartbeat race.
—Put it on.
The pale girl encouraged her with a small smile. Kanna nodded and did what she told her, sighing relieved feeling the already warm coat on her.
—But Hama!
—I don't care.
And like that, a long life friendship (or at least that's what they both thought) was formed. Hama never asked her once why she left her own tribe and argued with everybody that did so.
Two years since her arrival, as much as Kanna tried to stop herself, she fell in love with her friend. Kanna left her house and now she wasn't regretting it anymore, she knew that there was no possibility that Hama would like her, as she was teasing her any time she even looked at their best friend, Sernin, which, she couldn't say she hated, she had no hard feelings towards knowing that he was just trying to protect their tribe. He was a funny and attractive guy, but just not her.
Well if we're on the topic of mods, have you heard of Leyalluna’s portrait mod? I don't use mods myself but it might be one you or any followers of this blog might like. Also welcome back forgot to say that earlier
