#and ESPECIALLY not Stardew valley

[starryoak]

#god i remember the start of this disc horse #and that the og op was being...reasonable actually #and saying that games such as sdv aren't ''games without politics'' actually and that all art has politics because politics is everywhere #and that cozy farming sims in particular are often resting on some reeeeeaaally nasty tropes with ugly history in the real world #and if that's what you think of as ''as story with no politics in it'' you are in fact laughably uninformed #and btw there's a reason that the fantasy of ''run away into the vast wild untamed frontier and make a home there'' is so popular in the us#and it's not a pretty reason #and calling that fantasy specifically ''apolitical'' is tone-deaf and uninformed at BEST #and like. the og op was responding to a different conversation about how tired certain people are of ''politics being in everything now''

#and they were talking specifically about sdv as an example but the overall point was that if you as a leftist are complaining about art #being ''too political these days'' you are in fact turning into a reactionary and you need to stop and remember that EVERYTHING has politics #BUT THEN A HANDFUL OF OTHER BLOGS GOT HOLD OF THIS TAKE. AND JUST IGNORED THE ENTIRE ACTUAL POINT IN FAVOR OF#CLAIMING THAT PLAYING GAMES SUCH AS SDV IS AN ACT OF RACISM IN ITSELF AND SHOULD BE SEEN AS A MARKER OF WHITE SUPREMACIST BELIEFS #truly some ''harry potter books were always evil and if you were a true leftist you never would have enjoyed them'' type shit #''i find this media annoying but seemingly everyone else likes it THANK FUCK i now have an excuse to call its enjoyers problematíque'' #and now we're here. with people making the completely unironic statement that if you enjoy harvest moon games you're a genocide apologist.

#(also i cannot help but notice that this particular bad take is lowkey obsessed with farming sims as the sign of a particularly usa sin) #(while just Completely Ignoring that stardew valley did not invent the genre actually and was/is a love letter to harvest moon) #(which is a distinctly japanese game with japanese politics)

#(but no. we're gonna ignore that in favor of claiming the entire genre of ''cozy farming sim'' is a us american invention and phenomena) #(DESPITE LITERALLY ALL OF THEM BEING MORE OR LESS DIRECTLY INSPIRED BY HARVEST MOON) #(YOU CANNOT TALK ABOUT PLATFORMERS AS A GENRE WITHOUT AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGING SUPER MARIO BROS) #(AND ARGUABLY HARVEST MOON IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TO COZY FARM GAMES THAN MARIO IS TO PLATFORMERS) #(PLATFORMERS HAVE OTHER ARCHETYPES AND MAJOR INFLUENCES) #(MEANWHILE THE ENTIRE COZY FARM GAME GENRE IS HARVEST MOON CLONES ALL THE WAY DOWN) #(that is not a criticism of the genre btw i'm just saying it's maybe important to consider that Americans Did Not Invent This Actually)

#(if you're gonna talk about the politics of the cozy farm game genre you need to at least have a passing knowledge that harvest moon exists) #(and that harvest moon is very much a product of and reaction to the japanese bubble economy bursting in '92) #(but anyway. god forbid the disc horse acknowledge that not everything is about the usa.)

we shouldn’t judge people based on their sexual fantasies. We be smart enough to understand know the difference between fantasy and reality and we shouldn’t make assumptions about someone’s real life behavior just because they mentioned having a certain kink. but if someone says they like cozy farming sims then they definitely support ethnic cleansing.

Maru and Harvey at the flower dance 🥹 Even though he practices on his own, Maru still leads him through the steps. Maybe next year he'll have the courage to ask the farmer to dance.

I made this for the Flower Dance event @runawayface is hosting on the Harvey Lovers United discord server!

[sdv-confessions]

Shane is fat, Harvey is on the chubbier side, Sebastian is a mix of skinny-chubby where he's thin but has a bit of a tummy pouch that he's insecure about, Sam is twinkish but has nice legs because of skating, Elliott is toned but I wouldn't call him ripped, Alex is shredded with broad shoulders.

Leah's muscular she has to be, Penny is super thin, Emily has a pear-shaped body with big hips and probably a bit of a tummy pouch as well, Haley is the opposite where she's got less hips but a bigger chest, Abigail is a little chubby, Maru is also chubby and I may be bold enough to say she's fat.

(None of these are insults they're just my headcanons- I think chubby/fat characters are super cute! I wanted to know if anybody else agreed with these interpretations but was too shy to post on main.)

This is a callout post for the Stardew Valley modders out there. I can't find anything with Gravity Falls for the game on nexus and I need to be SATIATED

I'd imagine it more as Mullet Stan obv but I was too agitated when I drew this some days ago to think it through. I am BEGGING you guys to make this happen, I will give you my kidneys.

I'd do it myself but Idk how to make a working mod that I can share with the world-!!! I have only made sprite edits and manual name changes in the past-!!!!!

(all scenes are depicted as platonic)

So every Inktober I try to do something more challenging, and this year I thought I would make a short comic/fanfic. I think I got the idea for this one a year ago but I was already wrapped up with another Inktober. Eventually I solidified the idea by making my own prompt list some time ago.

This comic is split into three parts with 10 days focusing on each of them, 30 in total, everything is compiled here. I wanted to post them after October in case I wanted to change anything.

This first part takes place in the summit.

The comic is basically all improvised, that means no planning for the composition, plot, or sketching any drawings. The most planning I did was write a few scripts ahead of time within the month to save me some time but most of them would be changed last minute anyways.

As for the plot, I won't go too deep into it because I don't want to talk too much, so you'll just find commentary on the making of the comic and stuff.

This first part is a little gimmick-y compared to the next two, with new elements appearing almost every day. It’s because I relied a lot on the prompts (dog, milk, etc.) to keep things happening, eventually I move further away from them.

What is surprising to me is how much the art changes as the days go by especially within the span of one month. I did refine a few things to keep it more consistent but this is nearly indistinguishable from the original drawings.

I should also mention that my favourite aspect of this project was adding references to the game and subtle details (if you can find it all, awesome!!) This may have been done quickly but I like to have those things and put at least a bit of effort into the dialogue.

Part 2

Eventually I figured that drawing the same setting for 30 days straight would drive me insane, hence why this comic is split like it is. I’m glad I did because it makes the story a little more interesting, seeing the characters have different attitudes in different places and whatnot.

This one takes place in the cave directly after pt 1. Admittedly I do better drawing outdoor settings, it's what I'm used to, but the cave wasn't so bad to figure out.

I remember these two days I was streaming drawing the comic to my friends, so I kinda zoned out while we were talking lol

One of the prompts was about napping, so I made Dwarf sleep. I believe I was tired that day too and it was therapeutic to draw and include that. Also they look cute, I think.

18 & 19 have some of my favourite drawings in the comic. The campfire lighting is what we'd get if I had a bit more energy each day, and I like the perspective in the first panel of 19.

I find this last section interesting, because of all the 30 days, it’s the only one in Dwarf’s POV. I felt like it was fitting to do something like that at the time.

Part 3

Since we were approaching Halloween, I wanted to have a special part for it. It’s related to the other two parts but it takes place some time after. I’m really sorry it’s out of season, if it were up to me I would have had this post out earlier (thank my midterms for the delay)

Out of all the other parts this one is my favourite. Maybe because it’s more recent I’m inclined to think that way but it has some of my fave moments that I've written here.

Other than that I don't have much commentary for this part. More thoughts at the end!

I was caught up everyday atp, but I didn’t have much spare time to prepare for the ending (I wrote it the morning of that day). I think this is a decent conclusion though.

I intend on coming back to this story, maybe next year to make a continuation but we'll see what happens. There are definitely things that I want to come back to someday.

Thank you for making it this far btw. It's been an eventful month for me beyond this (Untitled) comic, but there wasn't a single aspect of this that I didn't enjoy doing. It's a silly project and I care about it.

Also, I'm not going to neglect the 31st of October! That day will get an illustration, where I will pick my favourite panel and redraw it. I want to take my time with this one so it's not out yet, but hopefully I can finish by Christmas.

i have the silliest lil headcannon that the coding sebastian does is making games and that he’s making haunted chocolatier

More very messy sketches. Mmmm gotta figure out how to draw 'im...

[thebluester2020]

the mods are asleep so i can post this—

blah blah blah but jio from ridgeside village overstimulating you. its a rainy day and the both of you decide to stay in bed all day, the perfect opportunity to finger you until you're seeing stars behind your eyelids and the only noises you can make are babbled words and breathless moans as your hand weakly grips jio's wrist in an attempt to anchor yourself.

"you should've known this would happen my love..." jio teased you as he pressed a featherlight kiss to the top of your head, not matching in the slightest with the way his fingers were plunging in and out of your cunt as like he hated you. but hate was the farthest thing he could have felt for you right now, the pitter-patter of the rain against the rooftop and windows allowed the elf's senses to only focus on his beloved, you.

and that's what he intended to do allllll day until the rain stopped.

jio moaned deeply in your ear, the intoxicating sound sending shivers up and down your spine as lewd squelching could be heard from between your legs. "i can feel your clenching down on my fingers, my beloved...are you close? don't hold back, i've got you." his gentle words made your head spin, the sound of your noises increasing in pitch as you neared closer and closer to your orgasm making jio begin to rut against the bed, eager to sink his cock into your inviting warmth but holding back for the sack of focusing on your pleasure completely.

when you had reached your orgasm, your fluids darkening the bedsheets below as it covered the elf's entire hand. you blushed as you watched through hooded eyes, at the way jio loudly tasted you, closing his eyes and moaning softly as if you were the best thing to ever grace his tongue and— oh no. you knew that look.

the look he gave you when you weren't going to leave the bed for the next few days.

As someone who lived a ten-minute drive outside of a small town (roughly 5.5 km outside of the town), it genuinely amazes me that Sebastian has good enough internet to do his job. Unrealistic. His family would have an internet usage max of 200gb per month and has the Worst Internet Speed. Good luck getting anything done emo boy, you’re working on pure hopes and dreams with that internet connection.
