Got back into Stardew Valley. I wanna start doing ship art of my farmer and Haley... Because of that, I got inspired to make a bio for Reina, and then do a couple of ship memes for them haha. You can find the memes on any of my other profiles! It cropped weird when I tried to upload here :T My pages if anyone wants to follow my art~ da: https://www.deviantart.com/thevoidkitsune FA: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/thevoidkitsune/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/The_VoidKitsune Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thevoidkitsune Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/thevoidkitsune Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088219471597

Busy with important family events over the next couple of days, and so I thought it would be good to get a day-and-date release for this Debrief on the latest entry in my Sapphic Valley series, "How You Get The Girl." Be sure to read the story before jumping in!

Did you do it? Did you read the story?

Alright, I'm trusting you. Go ahead and hit that 'Keep Reading' button you scamp.

It only seems appropriate to start this Debrief off by addressing the elephant in the room. I haven't posted anything in over a month, and "By Moonlight" came about a month after its predecessor, the conclusion to "Stone-Cold Lovers."

Work, naturally, has been a major factor.

You can see me talk about that almost two weeks ago in this Tumblr post I made about writing in a coffee shop, which came weeks after I actually started writing during a trip to a friend's house.

===

Side note:

Just wanted to take a moment and acknowledge my beautiful Haley and Emily keychains. My friend who's responsible for the affairs of one ghostly farmer named Jizzabelle (Gisabelle to the laymen) got them for me! Only appropriate after I commissioned some art of her and Abigail.

Emily was my first Stardew wife, and Haley currently holds the biggest place in my heart. They make a lovely duo!

And I'll avoid any sister-wife jokes

===

While I've had some other projects like Zine writing to take care of, work and life can't explain the full absence.

The best way I can think to explain things is that:

I had the general writer's block, and

Despite the best intentions and advice of my irl friends and online pals like @alchemicallymoon and @duelbraids, I couldn't force myself to "break" that block by just... Writing something else.

This is entirely the result of my own psychosis. I have a tendency to carefully plot things out and impose a timetable that really doesn't need to exist. When I feel the cause is righteous enough, it's hard to get around that. In this case, I knew I needed to get my poll-winning idea out after dawdling for holidays like Valentine's Day, and then I knew I only wanted to post one more story before jumping on a very special event for my upcoming 30th AO3 post.

Thus, here we are: arbitrarily forcing myself into a spiral of writer's block misery because of a silly promise on Tumblr and my own sense of ordered chaos.

At the very least, this meant it's coming out not long after my AO3 pal InsertACatchyPennameHere also emerged from the woodwork to tell me they're working on something INSPIRED by my four-person friend group farm adaptations.

Much love to them, wherever they may be.

I'll probably start writing more eclectically now that my shoulders are unweighed, but don't expect my next publication to hit until I'm finished working on teasing the big event. All you Pokemon fans better get hype!

And oh how sweet this publication feels. Between my great set of recent ceramics, the figure drawing class I've been attending, and creative writing, I've felt more fulfilled than ever.

You're here to talk about Stardew, though. So let us talk.

This idea began less with any one event as it did a desire to advance the Alexis/Haley relationship, and Haley's characterization in particular. It was always going to end with watercolor painting reference, but 2 Willow Lane was what I really wanted to dig into.

As I see it, a lot of what keeps people invested in Stardew when its comfy vibes becoming routine is the air of mystery in Eric Barone's worldbuilding. Haley and Emily's parents being some world-traveling duo who left their home in the siblings' care for who knows how long (and who knows how many times over their lifetime) really piqued my interest. So much so that the new writing challenge I set for myself in "How You Get The Girl" was crafting a particularly long set of descriptions that emphasize how overwhelming the parents' influence feels — without creating an impenetrable wall of text.

Hopefully I succeeded in that. Let me know!

I tried to include some vaguely real world-adjacent references into that description of the house, as happens with the magical-realism world of Stardew Valley. For example:

The computer sitting next to their bonsai tree is an iMac G3, the kind of old 'futuristic' tech that my dad loves!

A Speedwell refrigerator is based on even more vintage tech, the Mayflower fridge, but named after a different ship ridden by Pilgrims coming to America.

That city that the family visited in an old photograph with a "monument of arching, interlocking steel" is, of course, Paris — with the statue bookends referencing any number of statues in the Louvre.

Haley's FAD magazine could be referencing any number of publications, but Vogue is probably the closest analogue to what I imagine her reading.

Furthermore, I took some notes on describing the home's layout off of my sister's apartment building, and I asked my bestie @trybard for input on what kind of hanging plant should be used in the transitional hallway. Hanging pothos, philodendron, and spider plants were the three options provided, and my response was appropriate:

They know so much about plants.

Go bug them about it.

I drew on other friends' knowledge to help decorate the house. Specifically, I asked one of my witchiest friends what kinds of protective wards someone like Emily would leave around doorways and windows. She had... A lot of reference material.

I picked Hazel given it purportedly "protects against evil; encourages abundance and inspiration." I also picked Amethyst as one of Emily's loved gifts, one that purportedly "absorbs negative energy, promotes harmony."

My witchy friend is the same one who provided the TikTok that I referenced in my advertisement post:

Perhaps the most important thing about 2 Willow Lane was the recurring motif of Barbie's Dream House.

As a surface-level reference, I think the groundwork is clear. Blondie's love of fashion and general queen bee demeanor fits comparisons to Barbie well, and she lives in a big ol' house full of stuff. We all saw Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie last year. It's still in the cultural zeitgeist.

I'm hip with the kids.

Yet, early on I also tried to make it clear that if this is a "dream" house, it's neither Haley's nor Emily's dream. Haley is a Barbie in that stereotypical sense, but also there's much to be mined from the analogy of a sort of powerless doll in an immutable house, constrained by social obligation to her family rather than literal plastic and stickers.

The cold open of Jodi and Sam was meant to stand alone, but in execution I also think drawing Kent's absence into the conversation makes for a more thematically rich comparison to these sisters who appear to have themselves more put together.

My beta reader said this wound up being one of my stronger stories because of how all of that intertwined, which I appreciated given how down on myself I was following the whole writer's block thing.

But also.

Also.

Alexis gets to be horny. She's hitting on lonely MILFs and watching girls shake their asses to the tune of bad reality TV.

We love a buff dommy mommy farm girl in this house.

Haley is probably horny too, she just doesn't realize it yet. For now I think it's fun enough to play into her being coy about building excuses for Alexis to come over, and then getting incensed when Emily barges in on their private time meant to learn more about this farm girl she just can't get out of her head.

===

Fun fact:

Every story in this series is named after a Taylor Swift song, but I know next-to nothing about her discography. All of them are suggestions by my friend whose house I was at when starting this story — the same one who controls Gardenia on the farm.

While I went with "How You Get The Girl," her alternative suggestion was "The Man."

===

All that w|w talk aside, I also want to give Sam the loveable idiot a shoutout. Had to do a fair bit of research into how skateboards are constructed for his failed ollie, and I slipped in a reference to shitty old technology that's exclusively for my beta reader to enjoy.

I also tried doing some agricultural research to figure out how the folks at Kevin Farm could have grown cucumbers so there'd be a jar of legitimate pickles... But that was getting too in the weeds.

Insert laugh track here

Decided to just go with pickled artichoke hearts to save everyone a lot of trouble.

And where does "Kevin Farm" come from, you may be asking yourself. Or the fabulous "Kevin's Special" with its definitely not innuendo tagline.

That story will have to wait for another day, my friends.

#I really went in on this one #Moreso than I was expecting #But I guess that's what happens when you get very anxious about how people on the internet are judging your ability to do things well #And in a timely manner #Not that I think any of you are judging me #My fans are great <3 #Anyway thanks so much for reading! #I promise the Kevin Farm story isn't all that interesting but one day I'll make it relevant to a piece #Fanfiction Debrief #fanfiction #fanfic #companion piece #author's commentary #ao3 #stardew valley #stardew haley #writing #creative writing #struggle #macintosh #vintage technology #paris france #louvre #vogue #plants #tiktok #witchcraft #protection #barbie #metaphors

Alright, pages 5,6,7 with the new style. Slight modifications with the eyes and so far I’m liking it. Cindy(the blonde) gets off the bus only to meet Vincent who got separated from the town by a boulder. (Idk where this boulder came from, but joja is known for that aren’t they? #stardewvalley #stardewvalleyfanart #stardewvalleycomic #stardewvalleyguardian #stardewvalleycharacters #stardewvalleyoc #stardewvalleycindy#stardewvalleysebastian #stardewvalleyfarmer #stardewvalleyshane #stardewvalleyharvey #stardewvalleyalex #stardewvalleyabigail #stardewvalleyfanart #stardewvalleygame #stardewvalleyelliott #stardewvalleyleah #statdewvalleysam#stardewvalleyhaley#stardewvalleypenny#alternative https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs0Rj4UlCqy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wqiirze6ynl2

She’s baaackkk! And she has a name now! Alterra is Cindy’s alter ego that shares the same body as her bus she’s sentient? Also, Cindy’s an alcoholic, Shane? Really? Anyway, it sounds like Alterra and Cindy are adjusting well to stardew valley, thankfully nothing can go wrong! . . #stardewvalley #stardewvalleyfanart #stardewvalleycomic #stardewvalleyguardian #stardewvalleycharacters #stardewvalleyoc #stardewvalleycindy#stardewvalleysebastian #stardewvalleyfarmer #stardewvalleyshane #stardewvalleyharvey #stardewvalleyalex #stardewvalleyabigail #stardewvalleyfanart #stardewvalleyrasmodius#stardewvalleyjack #stardewvalleygame #stardewvalleyelliott #stardewvalleyleah #statdewvalleysam#stardewvalleyhaley#stardewvalleypenny#alternative https://www.instagram.com/p/BxEFGfdFtil/?igshid=1btdn269o3hcf

Alright. So it was half and half for the voting so I’m going to go ahead and do the really interesting parts in full color and put the more semi moving scenes in black and white! Thanks for voting guys! . . . So Cindy meets penny who takes her around the town. She forgot to get groceries and Cindy tags along. Cindy overheard a conversation that ends with Shane getting slapped. What the heck happened? What’s up with Cindy’s eyes?!? Why are they green?!? . . . #stardewvalley #stardewvalleyfanart #stardewvalleycomic #stardewvalleyguardian #stardewvalleycharacters #stardewvalleyoc #stardewvalleycindy#stardewvalleysebastian #stardewvalleyfarmer #stardewvalleyshane #stardewvalleyharvey #stardewvalleyalex #stardewvalleyabigail #stardewvalleyfanart #stardewvalleyrasmodius#stardewvalleyjack #stardewvalleygame #stardewvalleyelliott #stardewvalleyleah #statdewvalleysam#stardewvalleyhaley#stardewvalleypenny#alternative https://www.instagram.com/p/BvbwHQDlWsP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m54ft865olrr
