#better junimos

[bunniemoth]

I just love watching the Junimos work.

I'm currently running two mods that boost productivity around my farm, the first (pictured above) being Junimatic, which invites the little fellas to help around the place and run your machines (similar to Automate but a little gentler, and with the option of questlines to unlock their abilities) and the second, (Better Junimos, not pictured), improving what the Junimos can do from their huts outside in various environmental conditions, and in the greenhouse.

The big thing about the latter -- the super important kill me ded from cute special thing -- is that if they're working in the rain (for the low low price of forty pieces of fiber), they wear little leaf umbrella hats. ☺️

Burning some of my comfort characters as a sacrifice to my number 1 comfort character.

Take 2 of beading a junimo!

[majorlesbianpanic]

the rage i feel when i play junimo cart will be the death of me. i get so physically angry. i’ve been playing this stupid ass mini game for 4 hours and i have yet to beat lewis’ STUPID ASS 50K.

on god, if it didn’t effect perfection. i would bully lewis so much to the point he just leaves the town and i become mayor.

fuck you, lewis. die <3 :)

[ninoochat]

my last farm before i got bored, year 7

[stardewvalleybut-i-draw]

A little jealous

"Why would we do Willy like that :( "

The wizard mentions how the Junimos refuse to talk to him but are willing with the farmer...I don't think he would be jealous of the magic that seems to just happen to the farmer ...

BUT

I don't think he would be too chill about you using those same magical abilities to just be a better farmer 😂

this was one of his breaking points.

[dayoldbaguette]

I am admittedly a very 'oh shit two cakes!!' person when it comes to these 'Stardew-Valley-likes' but i will defend fields of mistria, sun haven and even roots of pacha because they are totally different experiences to me.

Sun haven has so much customization and the ability to choose a type of fantasy being to be really heightens the roleplay aspect of it. I have a whole backstory and arc in my head for my sun haven character that just doesn't happen on the same level as every other game, even stardew. Even Fields of Mistria, where magic is a bigger part of the narrative, doesn't really offer this type of customization, best you can do is add a horn accessory but it's not the same as being a demon in sun haven.

FoM is cool because a) the writing of the characters is very good, way better than other games I've seen in this genre, b) it doesn't just rip everything from stardew, there are many quality of life changes that I really appreciate (like cooking and crafting being available from the get go, but just having to upgrade the crafting stations for more complex recipes) c) so many random or scheduled interactions between townspeople.

Roots of Pacha has so many unique features to it, the setting, the way you unlock new improvements for the town and yourself, the animal taming mechanic, etc. It doesn't exactly 'feel' like a Stardew-like.

Also about Coral Island, which I generally really like, admittedly feels like Stardew Valley + Setting Change + Mermaids and Diving. It definitely has the same feeling as Stardew, but because of it's size it can be. a little overwhelming at times. The story is not as concentrated, there are like three different types of spirit you're helping out at any given time, contrast with Stardew Valley's Junimos. I still like it fwiw, but it still can't quite shake the comparison to stardew.

Honorable mention to Wylde Flowers, I don't think this one is in this genre of Stardew-Valley-likes at all and should not be evaluated as such. It's very good, and just because it has farming as a big component does not make it a Stardew-Valley-like. Just play it and you'll see.

Warning: Chapter 7 Spoilers!!

Malleus Draconia

The local wizard! He’s a big enigma to the townspeople and people either hate him or love him! (Not true, literally only Leona and Diasomnia feel that strongly for him)

Not much is known about magic in this world and it’s said only fae and their descendants are capable of wielding it.

Lives in the forest in a tower that houses two very well maintained gargoyles. 

When you receive a letter from him about the junimos he adds that you should get gargoyles too for a better drainage system…

In this universe I think you would already know who he is from the get go but he won’t tell you his name so you nickname him Tsunotaro/Hornton anyways.

Is very close to Lilia, Sebek and Silver! Lilia raised him, he half raised Silver and Sebek is his apprentice! (He took him in out of fondness)

He’s actually a descendant of fae royalty from a fallen kingdom ages old but now he’s living at NRV.

He’s very lonely and was very glad to hear a little farmer with no knowledge of his reputation had moved in.

And yes, stone is a liked gift for him-

Loved Gifts: Ice Cream, Any Gem, Rose, Dinosaur Egg, Universal Loves

“Heh. It takes quite the feat to impress someone of my calibre, child of man. You’ve done well.”

Hated Gifts: Pink Cake, Chocolate Cake, Strange Bun (Specifically the Lilia branded ones…), Iron Bar, Universal Hates

“...” Lighting turns it into ashes.

Lilia Vanrouge

The owner and leader of the adventurer’s guild! Started it with Baul who is currently in the Skull Caverns.

Is actually fae and a powerful wizard but nobody in town knows, they just think he’s this weird kid who’s really good with the sword.

Lives in a little cottage in the woods with his son Silver who he took in when he was but a babe.

Malleus was living with them before but had to move out cuz his cauldrons and bookshelves were taking up too much space. They still live very close by though so he brings food over whenever he cooks! (Malleus teleports to ten different locations and Lilia follows)

.He’s considering retiring from his position at the adventurers guild and passing it onto Silver.

He has been training Silver and Sebek in the art of swordsmanship since they were young.

He’s in a band with Cater and Kalim, he plays the bass! Occasionally travels to the city for concerts!

Is often found at his cottage or at the adventurers guild!

Loved Gifts: Tomatoes, Black Licorice, Tomato Juice, Pizza, Strange Bun, Universal Loves

“How precious! I’m guessing my cuteness has charmed you? Fufu~”

Hated Gifts: Marshmallows, Solar Essence, Bat Wing, Universal Hates

“Hm. I'm rather disappointed in you, farmer..."

Silver Vanrouge

A knight in training, learning swordsmanship from Lilia! 

A lot of Lilia’s training consists of going down into the mines and freestyling so he picks up requests from the bulletin board often to hit two birds with one stone. Lilia banned him from going down alone after his first time passing out though…

Often passes out in the middle of the day and sometimes wakes up to see Ortho charging him 50 gold…

He’s a good friend of the animals in NRV and sometimes visits Kalim’s ranch to see them! He’s also the one who found the cat/dog that becomes your companion!

I feel like he has a mini garden near his cottage too! He bans Lilia from entering.

Goes horse racing with Sebek and Riddle every sunny Monday!

Is often found at his cottage, in the mines or taking a nap on a tree near town square.

Loved Gifts: Acorns, Mushroom Risotto, Coffee, Espresso, Universal Loves

“This is a great gift. How can I convey my gratitude?”

For Coffee and Espresso: “Thank you, farmer. This will keep me awake for training… Probably.”

Hated Gifts: Strange Bun (Also the Lilia branded ones…), Universal Hates

“Uhm, this is a rather… Unconventional gift."

For Strange Bun: “!! Has father been in the kitchen recently?!”

Sebek Zigvolt

A half-fae who’s the proud apprentice of the great wizard! 

Lives with his parents, older brother and older sister and is childhood friends with Silver! Lilia basically sees him as another son with how often he’s around.

His father works as a dentist in town and his mother is an adventurer!

His family goes on fishing trips often.

Is able to use magic due to being half fae but the village doesn’t wanna give him the respect that deserves cuz he’s such a loudmouth…

He also still trains with Silver and Lilia regularly!

Goes horseback riding with Riddle and Silver every sunny Monday but is actually deathly afraid of horses…

Loved Gifts: Salmon Carpaccio, Books, Universal Loves

“Hmph, not bad for a human!"

Hated Gifts: Coffee, Espresso, Iron Bar, Strange Bun (Once again…)

“A slight to me is a slight to Master Malleus! Be prepared, human!”

For Strange Bun: “T-This is!! I will accept this… For Master Lilia…”

[ordering-milk-at-a-bar]

I would like to introduce the Chain to Stardew Valley- aannnddd Wild has run off with my switch.

You're going to have to create seperate save files/farms for each of them. Because we all know that eventually someone was going to accidentally "ruin" someone's farm by planting the wrong crop outside of its specific area.

I feel like Wild wouldn't be as interested in the farming part as he is interested in going into the mines. That's not to say that he dislikes farming, he just likes fighting in the mines more. He does like all the different food items you can cook. You can bet he's listening in on the TV to get new recipies.

Twilight falls in love at first sight with the game. You can bet he's making his farm just like Ordon, even names it after his home village. Grows only pupmkins. He once mentions that he's sad that there are no goats in the game, so maybe you mod the game that changes the sprites of the cows to look like the Ordonian goats. He cries. He also cannot choose between owning a cat or a dog to save his life. Spent like 40 minutes in the character creator debating his preferance.

Hyrule loves the little Junimos and makes it his mission to get everything they want. Perpetually broke. Kinda becomes a hermit, doesn't really talk to the people of Pelican Town, not because he doesn't like them, he just has other things to do at the moment. But when he actually socialises, he's doing all the little side quests, only after helping the Junimos. Much like Wild, Hyrule spends a lot of time in the mines.

Time has a cow farm and not much else. Maybe one little patch where he grows food for himself, but like 90% of his land is taken up by pastures for cows and horses. He doesn't need more and he doesn't really want more. Certified Jojamart hater.

Wind does not farm. Who needs those dumb yucky vegetables anyway? The fish from his farm are way better in both taste and quality. He picked the ocean farm for obvious reasons.

Legend is the biggest Jojamart hater, much bigger than Time. He somehow found out about Korbus all by himself and took him as his roommate. You didn't even know until you looked over his shoulder one day and saw the creature in his kitchen. His farm is a mess. You have no idea how he finds literally anything, it so cluttered. You've yelled at him to organise his stuff, but he keeps putting it off. The only pretty area is his apple orchard.

Warriors is bad at farming, to the point that he complains about it. Sides with Jojamart purely because it's convenient and saves him time. He spends his time doing every side quest for the townspeople. You just know he's loving the gossip. Takes part in every town festival/event.

Predictably enough, Four spends all of his time in the mines. His farm still looks like crap. Basically only goes there to sleep.

Sky is another social butterfly, but still better at farming than Wars. His farm is not what you'd call "efficiant," but it's cozy and nice to look at. Has every chicken. Everyone else avoids them, but he loves these tiny birds.

[spacesapphi]

HES Trio Headcanons (the third)

That's right guys, another one (my brain is rotted). These three live in my head rent free

some the Shane ones are sad again, sorry

Elliott

-had a pet hermit crab as a kid, he's always been a friend of the crabs!

- prefers fancy, decorative candles to scented ones. The prettier the better!

- trying his best to make his room look like Howls from Howls Moving Castle. That clutter of beautiful trinkets is exactly what he wants for a setup

- loves wearing his hair in braids, but is terrible at doing braids on himself. He usually asks Leah

- Willy is like a father to him. His bio father was not a kind man, and Willy is everything he wished his father could be and more

- Willy taught him how to fish too, and he's actually pretty good at it!

- very into a "method acting" style of writing, as in he'll live like a character he's trying to write for a while until he feels like he can realistically interpret them in his writing

- faked a British accent for about a month in middle school because he thought it sounded very sophisticated and artsy

Harvey

- won't tell anyone, but he enjoys little Saturday morning cartoons now and then. It reminds him of the moments of joy he felt when he was little and he cherishes that

- tried to shave off his mustache once and seeing how he looked without it scared him so bad he vowed not to do it again. It looks so bad 😭💔

- wears that Ebenezer scrooge lookin nightgown and cap unironically, swears that it helps him sleep better

- lactose intolerant and has a gluten allergy. He doesn't like cheese and baked goods because of it, they make him really sick

- that being said, if u made/bought him gluten free stuff he would act like he owes his life to you

- once he was at the library at the same time Penny was tutoring the kids. It was during free reading time and Vincent told him he looked like a character in the book he was reading. It was Geronimo Stilton. Harvey has still not recovered from that

- really wanted siblings as a little kid but never had them, so he created an imaginary friend for himself and pretended to go on aviation missions with them

- has a lil gap between his front teeth, he gets a bit shy about it, but it's cute when he smiles and you can see it

Shane

- I changed my height headcanon, bro is 5'3 now

- his ENTIRE family is very short, his mom and Marnie are 5'0. Jas' parents were tall though so once she's older she's absolutely towering over Marnie and Shane

- had very long hair before taking in Jas. For many reasons, especially maintenance, he's kept it short since adopting her

- Him stealing food from Joja is a habit built from necessity, from the time before he moved back in with Marnie. He got to the point financially that he was often stealing food for him and Jas, because he was often forced to choose between groceries and paying rent.

- he's not a vegetarian, but he refuses to eat chicken specifically. Everytime he tries, he just can't bring himself to do it. He loves chickens too much

- even then, he still ate very little. Stealing was risky and he wanted to make sure Jas was given what she needed first. He always had her eat first, and would eat whatever she didn't, like crusts or veggies she didn't like. The night he moved back in with Marnie was the first time he had an actual meal in about a year

- After he starts recovery, he tries to be better friends with Penny given that she's Jas' teacher. She isn't very interested in being close with him, but he still tries to be friendly

- has an arsenal of dad jokes at the ready at any given moment, you are not prepared for how corny this man gets

- forever salty that LEWIS of all people is beating him on the junimo kart leaderboards

- He and Sam have a workplace besties kinda relationship. They still stay pretty good friends after Joja closes, Shane goes to all of his bands shows to show support

- the only festivals he really cares about are the egg festival, luau and Stardew valley fair. The rest he'll go to because it makes Jas and Marnie happy, but those three he has a passion for

[h2llish]

ミ ˖ ✧ from the beginning

notes ─── happy birthday lil bro @nervo-cat ! mwah mwah. finished this two months early. don't you just love me. (i was excited)

ELLIOTT ─ pining for something more.

warnings! fluff, male reader, mutual pining, lowercase intended

moving to stardew valley ─ you hadn't expected a lot of things. the state your grandfather's farm was in, the difficulty that came with farming, the monsters that lived in the mines, the junimos that gathered in the old community center ─ so many things were new, unexpected, odd.

moving off to a small town to immediately start up a farm that once belonged to your grandfather ─ a farm that hadn't been touched in quite some time ─ was a bit of an impulsive decision, you knew that. but your grandfather had paved as much of a path as he could on his deathbed so that settling in to your ─ soon-to-be ─ normal (when if you chose to accept) would be at least, a bit, easier on you.

but despite you having only known the city and a boring desk job, you hadn't expected the change to be so bold. perhaps that was naivety or just plain excitement on your part, but you truly didn't realize that the change from city to small town was going to be such an experience. (a good or bad one, you were still trying to decide). ─ and although your mother did warn you, you had been quick to brush her off with the response; if your grandfather could do it, so could you! but you really should've heeded her warning more, and prepared yourself, well, more (mentally ─ in terms of objective preparedness, you were quite fine).

you struggled at first, finding it difficult to adjust to farming as a new way of earning money, so different from sitting at a desk and typing into a computer. but eventually, you found yourself enjoying, not only your new way of life, but the town itself and the people there too.

the unexpectedness of it all became welcome ─ you'd found yourself making friends with the people in the valley, joining in traditions, and sharing meals with people occasionally. (you'd even found yourself with a cat who loved napping near the barn, and enjoyed chin scratches every morning before you went off to do your errands.)

another thing that was so unexpected about your new life, was the aspiring writer living in a small cabin on the beach. ─ elliott was kind and welcoming, he became a person you aimed to befriend quickly. you'd learned a lot about him over time; how he used duck feathers to make new quills, and he liked to comb the beach for new objects, and he loved crab cakes and pomegranates.

the closer you became with elliott, the more you enjoyed his presence. you'd give him gifts; pomegranates from your trees in the fall, and beach finds you'd discover under the sand, or crab cakes you made just for him because you knew he loved them. you'd created a new stop to your errand runs into town, making a point to visit the beach to see elliott, or run into him just before he left his cabin to say hello and maybe make short conversation.

before you knew it, he was a part of your routine, and anytime you missed a moment with him or you were too busy to make a quick stop at the beach to wave hello, your day would feel odd ─ or rather, not complete would be a better way to explain it.

you like to think (or maybe hope) that perhaps elliott felt the same way. that maybe his day wouldn't feel quite the same if you didn't make that regular visit throughout the day to see him, to say hi or give him a new gift. that perhaps he might look forward to seeing you as much as you looked forward to seeing him

"thank you for completing my request, [name]." lewis said as he handed you the bag of gold. you smiled, only half-listening to him as he went on some rant about the slimes in the mines and a pair of his pants being ruined.

you pulled off the bag on your shoulder to drop the gold into, but as you did, you caught sight of the duck feather safely tucked to the side, and you were reminded of your failed trip to elliott this morning. you'd found yourself so busy that the feather in your bag was pushed to the back of your mind.

you noted the time of day, and decided that elliott was probably at the beach, walking along the pier or getting ready to turn in for the night.

"well," you said, finally tuning back in to the mayor's rambling, and cutting him off, "i have to get going, bye, lewis."

"right, have a good night, then!"

you waved a lazy hand as you closed the door behind you, skipping a few steps as you quickly started on the path to the beach.

elliott was on his way back to the cabin for the night, already halfway into the door as you stepped onto the beach to find him.

"elliott!" you called, and the writer paused, turning to you as you smiled at him, stopping just before the door. "hi."

he returned your smile with that familiar gentle turn of his lips that you so enjoyed seeing, "hello, [name]."

you quickly turned to your bag, pulling out the feather still in as much of a good shape as it could be placed in your bag. you held it out for him with a bit of sheepish smile, "for you," elliott took the feather carefully, examining it as you explained, "i meant to give it to you earlier but i was pretty busy."

"i did see you running around in a hurry," he hummed, chuckling softly, "thank you, this would make for a lovely quill." he stepped back into the cabin, and you clutched your strap of your bag, wishing you could've talked longer (and you curse how busy you were, but you suppose it was also your own fault, for forgetting about the feather).

"goodnight, [name]."

"oh, yeah, goodnight," you quickly replied, adding just before he could close the door, "see you tomorrow."

he paused again, and smiled, and maybe you were imagining, the way his face flustered, but you had no time to think about that as he returned your words, a giddy feeling rising in your chest. "see you tomorrow."

you realize your attention and feelings towards elliott might not have been so discreet as the letter sitting in your mailbox gave way.

a bouquet to elliott? to become something more than just friends, more than just someone you gave gifts to and visited every day because he was someone you always thought about. ─ would elliott accept it? would he return your feelings and accept becoming more than what you were.

you suppose to know the answer to that would be to give him the bouquet.

you don't quite know what the perfect time would be ─ that morning after a visit to the general store, or when you stopped by during the night before you head back to the farm. or maybe when you ran into him during your errands, as you often did. ─ overthinking would get you nowhere, you knew that. but given the topic for the reason of your anxious second thoughts, you think you should be given a pass just this once.

buying the bouquet was the (you hope) beginning to something more, and the interactions it gained as you made your way to the beach was both helpful in giving you confidence, while adding more anxiety to your plate.

upon reaching the beach, you seen him on the pier, in conversation with willy. he didn't see you, his back turned your way, and you were thankful for that as you mustered up the courage to approach him.

it was willy who seen you first, his face shown surprise, before he excused himself from his conversation with elliott. you didn't hear whatever excuse or reason he might've given the writer before he walked off to give you privacy, far too focused on what you were going to say.

"elliott," you said, and the blond man turned to you, he looked ready to greet you, but he remained silent as he noticed the bouquet in your hands. at his stunned expression, you cleared your throat, and held out the flowers, "would you..?" you didn't finish your question, finding it difficult to say anything. you weren't even sure what you were going to say; forgetting everything you'd planned in your head now that you're faced with him. ─ ah, well, way to go [name].

"i didn't know you felt the same." ─ well, maybe you didn't just ruin it. ─ you looked up at him as he took the bouquet from your hands, his face flushed pink as held the flowers to his chest. you were stunned for a moment unable to say anything more. "i feel the same way, i want to get more serious with you too."

with restraint, you tried not to show your excitement through yells and jumps as you grinned at him. ─ you think your experience in the valley has gotten even better.

your relationship with elliott sometimes felt surreal. ─ because now it wasn't just visits to his cabin and gifts you knew he'd enjoy; it was more. you remember all the nights at your home, when he'd stay with you, and you'd talk about your days or his new ideas for books. sometimes he'd lean against you, and you'd sit in front of the fire with a book between you as he read to you.

it was a life you'd wanted to make forever; you think.

and maybe the universe heard that wish as it came to you in the form of a letter and a tradition of a mermaid's pendant.

you don't know what led you to the beach as the rain poured down on your head and soaked you through your clothes. you were all too aware of the way your clothes stuck to you and the way your boots sunk into the sand with an unsatisfying noise. you realized this might come back to bite you, and you may just end up getting sick, but that was a thought hovering in the back of your mind as you crossed the plank bridge, you'd built yourself.

you were glad elliott was back at your house, waiting for you to come back after you'd given a half-thought-out excuse of needing to run a final errand before you could join him for the night in your routine of reading by the fire.

there a man stood, dressed in old clothing; he hardly seemed bothered by the rain that pelted down (he hardly seemed touched by it at all). your bag of gold in hand, and you don't why, but something told you to approach him. you remember him, standing in that same spot as when you stumbled across him one rainy day. he talked of an old amulet he had, that he didn't think you were ready for.

you are now, you think, if the amulet is what you're looking for, and you hope he agrees.

and he does, with five thousand gold lesser in your pocket, you held the pendant with a care and admiration in your eyes. would elliott accept it? you certainly hope so.

the rain hardly bothered you as much as it did when you left the house, now with a feeling of excitement and a little anxiousness in your chest. you don't know when you'll ask ─ but you hope it would be during a time most perfect for the both of you.

when you reached the door to your house, you hid the pendant behind your back, deciding you'd place it safely in your nightstand where he wouldn't see it. ─ although you didn't exactly plan for the moment you stepped inside, and elliott was there to meet you, worrying over the way you were soaked to the bone.

"you rushed out so quickly i didn't have time to give you a coat!" he sighed, while you remained at the door with your hands behind your back and soaking the entrance mat.

you smiled almost sheepish as he wrapped a towel around your shoulders, "sorry, it was important."

"so important, you'd risk getting sick?" he asked, drying off your hair with such care, frowning and rambling about you being impulsive.

"yes." you answered, perhaps a bit too quickly as he paused, and the pendant felt heavier in your hand as he continued to look at you with that worried expression. "it was, really important."

"i can understand if it was important but you need to be more careful!" he scolded, "what if you get sick? you really worried me, running out into the rain like that, without a coat and..."

he was right about you being impulsive, as the plan for such perfect timing was lost to you when you held out the pendant and he trailed off in his words.

drenched from the rain, and shrugging off the chill that ran over your skin, a towel on your head, you realize you probably could've waited a little longer. but the way he worried over you only made you more aware of the pendant you hid behind you and the plans you'd been making in your head for how you were going to propose to him became lost.

"i'm sorry, for worrying you," you said, "but it was really important that i get this. you mean a lot to me, and i probably could've planned this better, but," ─ you smiled, a little awkward and trying not to shiver under the feeling of cold and wet clothes sticking to your skin. "would you..?"

words became lost to you after that as elliott took the pendant from you. his smile was wide, and he was visibly flustered, "i accept."

you would've hugged him, but you were made aware of your state when you shivered and sneezed.

elliott chuckled, and sighed, "maybe you should get out of these wet clothes."

"yeah," you cringed, smile almost embarrassed. (ah, well, you brought this on yourself.)

your actions had consequences, as you woke the next morning with a cold. but you don't regret anything, not when your boyfriend, your fiancé, wore the pendant around his neck as he decided he'd help you get back to better health, with promises to check on the animals in the barn and coop so you didn't worry (and you think you can used to this).

you hadn't expected for things to go the way they did when you moved to the valley ─ to find a routine in the writer who lived in a cabin on a beach. to call him your lover when you were told of the bouquet in a letter. and to run out into the rain so that the writer could lay beside you with a book in hand and a pretty pendant that showed the start of something more to your life in the valley.

but regardless, you held no complaints to it all.

Still with You

Game: Stardew Valley

Characters: Sebastian x Reader

Genre: Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, a little bit of angst

.

Summary: Sebastian admires you just thw way you are.

.

(please be aware of ooc)

-----

You may not notice this before and even until now, for being just a normal farmer who just sell crops, restores the community center with your junimo friends, helping the others in need to gain their full trust, you have everything.

Yeah...except for one.

Getting a spouse.

It is the ONLY thing you never had while you were doing your best in Pelican Town, and yet you never realize how you actually make others feel better than before even if you can't fix them completely.

Out of all the possible candidates, you found interest on a certain boy.

Even if...you never understand yourself very well...

Local Emo boy, Sebastian.

Lives in the mountain with his parents tho there will always be conflict wherever he goes, it started off as a awkward conversation, but soon it turns to a more...nice and friendly relationship you two have.

What goes romancing anyone can do to you? You are just doing something to save yourself and yet, it turns out that you yourself need saving too but….how? An endless spiral of questions appears on your mind, walking in the rain where no one can really hear you to the beach where you can find solace to the sounds of the rain and the sounds of the beach waves by the docks, and yet…

“Hm? (Farmer)?”

“!!!”

He is there.

“You come to beach in the rain as well?”

You nodded, not expecting someone to be there in the rain. Most people stay at home to avoid the rain for colds but here Sebastian is relishing into the rain like nothing happened. Walking closer to him you two remained quiet, giving a slight glanced at him he looks relaxed but looking a bit sad. Hearing him talk to you does help you well to feel a bit better, and yet he noticed that the rain was getting him more.

“Here there is room for two.”

You walked closer to him a little bit hoping to not take too much space, the two of you relaxed into rain quietly, it was comforting. And yet you never imagine that he is slowly warming up to you. From a slightly awkward conversation in his room, encountering him fixing a motorcycle and plans to move out of town, playing games with him and Sam in his room, and now relaxing with him quietly on the beach side. You do admit secretly that you are comfortable with him being there with you.

But you remember one small pain that you can tell, during in the Flower Dance, you watched Abigail dancing with Sebastian even if you didn’t participate in the dance but to only watch them dance. What is this painful feeling he is just your acquaintance/friend, she looked proud even tho you did not do anything but talk to him just casually.

“…(er)….(Farmer)….”

Why….why does your heart ache when you can’t express it-

“(Farmer), are you okay? You looked lifeless for a minute…”

When you snap out of it, Sebastian was facing you he looked concerned and doesn’t understand why.

“….I….”

“…I know you hear my story about myself a bit just now…. But…. will you let me get to know you a little more even if it hurts?”

You were speechless but to Sebastian he know fully well that there is no one who can hear you out, he has seen you feeling lifeless or depressed in one of these previous days but its rare for him to see you this sad in person. Taking a deep breath before facing to the ocean….

“I….never understand myself and my emotions well….”

You were told you had apathy, doesn’t smile, doesn’t show emotion, but when you do it never makes sense to you. You just want to get to know more about Sebastian and the other people in town not just show emotions. “Im sure the you and the town knows that…I don’t smile more often… I don’t even understand myself very well….” Holding your arm for a slight bit of comfort you closed your eyes taking a sharp breath.

Not ready to see his reaction you decided to continue, “I’m scared… Being a people pleaser for money is not my thing…. And yet, seeing progress with everyone one by one makes me wonder…. What if actually feels to feel….loved.”

“…”

You wanted to run to home and yet, you felt an arm wrapped around your waist. Opening your eyes you saw Sebastian pulling you closer to him, he has a reassuring smile on his face before making you lean your head on his shoulder.

You don’t get it, it never makes sense.

You respected his dream, you respected him, but you never seen him….being this close to you.

Parts of you want to push him away and yet….you feel like you deserve comfort from him.

“Are you feeling a bit better now that you say whats on your mind?”

“….y-yes….”

No more words, only silence and yet there is comfort in silence. Its like time has slowed or stopped for a moment, and yet you feel rather….relieved. Having someone to hear you out is something that you never expected it to be so comforting.

“Did you….hate me for saying these words?”

“No, its rather understandable for you to have these feelings. I don’t hate you for that, but rather thankful that you also open up to me.”

You two stare at the sky that was now going dark, and yet…

“Hey….Sebastian…?”

He looks at you confused before you gently hug him underneath the umbrella, “Thanks.” You don’t want to explain yourself and when you pull away just to look at him once more, you didn’t realize what your doing.

“I’ll find myself going to visit you once I got free time…. But please warm up once your home.”

You pull away from him before waving goodbye to him walking yourself to the town once more leaving Sebastian alone. You didn’t realize this but….you realize that you almost kissed him. It made your face feel warm from what you just did.

Sebastian on the other hand was speechless, feeling his face becoming warmer. You may not noticed this but he saw you smile for the very first time, and yet he did saw that your face was red up close at that. He finds himself covering his mouth feeling warmer than the cold.

He remembers you being there for him on times like this but was not expecting to feel…romantic towards you. He knows fully well that you have apathy and yet he admired you for one reason, being his solace that he never expected. The time where you invited Sebastian to your house for a relaxing dinner after his argument with his step-dad, he felt guilty when he almost yelled at you for trying to comfort him and yet you let him rest on your house and let him relax in your couch while your taking care of the crops. He did tell you many times that he is sorry but you kept on reassuring him that its completely fine since you knew his living condition.

Not only that you also give him gifts that he never had before, risking your life in the mines to get him a Frozen Tears or Obsidian for him, wasting your time fishing just to give him Sashimi, using your crops and milk to give him Pumpkin Soup, giving him something he never expected like the Frog Egg or Void Egg makes him happy. And you hearing him out on his frustrations he rambled on makes him feel even better, he knows your doing it to please him but he also knows that you are purely genuine with him even in you did not realize it.

Walking his way home, he can feel his heart beating so fast.

Sebastian admitted that he admired you, and yet he DOES worries that you might stress yourself out.

…

..

.

He stormed out of his house again but not out of anger or stress, something was giving him a bad feeling. Walking to the mines at night he saw you trying to walk out of the mines but from what he looked at you shock and fear grew within him…

“(FARMER!)”

You were gravely injured, limping slowly as time becomes 2 am. He ran to you straight ahead and captured you to his arms. He check on you with a worried expression on his face and yet you were just unconscious but not dying, he was relieved and yet he needs to make a move.

Carrying you in his arms and walks his way to your house despite how tired he really was, but his priorities is not himself but you. Inside on your house upon arrival he check your injuries and patched it up carefully with your nearby emergency medkit without waking you up. And yet he felt something cool on his hands, it was a frozen tear and he looked at you but you were still asleep.

“For…..Seb….by…”

“….”

He finds himself blushing at that, “….Why must you make me worry at a time like this….” Carefully and gently placing you on the bed before giving you the blanket, he stared at your sleeping face calmly before finding himself learning towards you and yet….he soon realize what he had done and quietly pulled away.

“….But….what if you don’t….”

Sebastian sadly can’t bring himself to kiss you, what if you’re interested in someone else like Sam, Abigail, or others. And yet he instead hold your hand gently before smiling at you, “Get better soon…(Farmer)…” He got up from your bed before quietly walks out of your house before locking it from behind, face still feeling warm and yet he too wanted to kiss you, but…he needs to know your feelings.

…

..

.

Morning finally comes in 6 am, waking up from the sound you tried to remember what happened to you.

You remembered getting gravely injured while fighting the enemies but quickly escaped to the ladder once you realized that it was almost 2 am, but you didn’t lose anything this time but…. neither your money or items was stolen.

“…”

You are confused the second you check your mailbox but nothing was there, you were expecting someone to let you know but no, nothing.

“But….who….”

Then it hits you, the last person you had seen was Sebastian before you didn't land roughly on the ground. There is only on conclusion, and it was Sebastian that brought you here but nothing was stolen.

"...I need to pay him back..."

The next weeks has passed, you made sure you repay Sebastian but he insist that you really don't need to give him anything. And yet when all hope for you feels a bit lost, one day you got an new mail from Robin and upon reading it....

You immediately knew what gift to give, even tho it feels incomplete you decided to get something extra for his gift, you quickly grabbed a stored pumpkin and fresh milk before going back to the house just to make the perfect gift for him, (even tho he is maxed out).

That autumn night of the was truly the day you repay him completely.

Arriving at his room for a nice chit chat by 3:30 pm, you two had a decent chat before the next was comfortable silence. You watching him programming while assisting him on some codes, he never knew you had talent on programming and thanks to you his job feels more easier than before.

"Say...Sebastian."

He looked at you wondering what you had to say, but was greeted by the delicious pumpkin soup that you had well prepared for him.

Smiling at the gift he gladly accepts it from you.

"I love this! How did you know?"

"Your mom let me learn the recipe just for you."

Sebastian was stunned not knowing that she made good friends with his mom just to help you give him a gift out of the materials you stored. Feeling his hand touching your cheek just to look at him, he knew that you were able to feel better. And when he was about to lean closer he suddenly pulled away blushing as you were speechless at his actions.

It was VERY slow for you to realize it...

You truly love him.

Quickly getting his hand before pulling him a bit closer surprising Sebastian, he was about to say something but you gently kisses his cheek before placing something on his arms.

Pulling away he looked down at the gift.

"!!!!"

Sebastian was blushing alot before looking at you with a warm smile, he knew he admired you just the way you are, getting used to his attitude, knowing how to make him smile, and for the times he get to watch you being beautiful even if it wasn't the case.

"I...I didn't know you feel the same way."

He took a glimpse at you with a smile watching your expression, you normal or depressed look your face was replaced by a gentle smile and yet you are blushing at your own actions towards him.

"...Sorry... That I took a long time to...feel that way."

Sebastian shook his head before pulling you to a hug.

Reminiscing the end of Summer by the Moonlight Jellies, Sebastian manage to take a glimpse at you. Being mesmerized by the blue soft glow, and yet when no one else wasn't paying extra attention he saw your genuine smile. It was one reason why he has gotten soft on you without breaking character. Unfortunately he was not able to see that smile after that, it must have felt like a core memory.

And yet.

"Don't make fun of me. But I never had a girlfriend/boyfriend before."

"I won't, it makes you special just the way I love you."

And yet he won't stop blushing, staring at you lovingly before giving your cheek a gentle kiss.

Ever since that day, you made his day even better when you are by his side. The moment you left his room, he was smiling at the bouquet of romantic flowers before hugging it closer to his chest relishing the moment you two have just now.

And if you are completely very luckily, you will see him staring at you with a smile and a cute blush that got your heart racing.

...

..

.

Before the beginning of Winter, you ran to the beach shore to do some foraging.

Ever since you become Sebastian's boyfriend stress and pressure has been applying for the both of you, trying to being the perfect maid to the people while doing dangerous tasks takes a deeper toll on you.

Meanwhile Sebastian had to get used to endless nagging, and worse of all his step-dad being completely rude to him which results him to return to his very bad habits.

Sure the both of you meet up in secret but what romantic moment was turned to empty and yet normal relationship, but in one of those times....

"I like you hair."

"!!!"

There are nice and tender moments hiding underneath the waters of the iceberg, despite you feeing the stress, pressure, and painful injuries you still went out of your way just to see him. Sebastian can be worried about you and yet...

"May I have you hand Sebastian?"

Sebastian was confused before lending out his hand to you, "Please, close your eyes." You said before he did what you told him, he felt something cold and yet it was highly different from the gifts. "You may open it now." And just like that, he opened his eyes...

It was a Mermaid's Pendant.

...

..

.

Ever since you two were married, Sebastian had never felt THIS HAPPY before. Marrying you was his best decision ever and as a result he lives in your house comfortably.

Plus he get to learn something silly from you. getting insane over the silliest of things, being overall very clingy to him when you go near him.

Sebastian did his very best to quit smoking for real just to live a bit more longer with you, and as a result he felt like his choices are rewarding. You still accept his sudden confessions of being alone, you still made sure you give him gifts, heck you evenly made sure that he gets the love he wanted to receive for so long.

There was money struggles from time to time but he understands since you two kept a nice conversation from time to time, sure he knows that you give gifts to other genders but its different compared how you give him gifts.

Finally one day the house was completely upgraded and he was tempted on the basement but you were pouting at him for that silly suggestion.

But that isn't all...

One rainy day you went home again to check up on Sebastian...

You are normally stoic and yet, that won't stop your heart from beating loudly. knowing the facts that Sebastian is genuinely romantic at random times can sometimes get you insane in love with him all over again.

It made you a blushing mess much to Sebastian's happy reactions from you.

You quickly pulled him closer to give him a hug and kisses that he still desperately needs, the same moment when time was stopped and yet, it was stopped in the most right way possible.

After all...

He still enjoys your company with him even now.

Local farmer/ florist, Amari Vaughn 🌸💐

As a human/ demon hybrid, Amari is gifted with immense physical abilities. When she was a kid, it was very common for her to accidentally break things since she didn't know her own strength. But her affinity for flowers encouraged her to learn how to be delicate with her hands. She realized early on that she wanted to be a florist one day. During her developmental years, she was discreetly monitored by her parents, who looked for other signs of her having supernatural powers. They were relieved to learn that Amari was as normal as everyone else (for the most part). Because of that, they opted out of telling her that she was half demon, thinking that it would only be a source of stress for her if she knew.

Amari grew up in the city without much trouble. She played a lot of sports when she was in school, but it didn't interest her that much. She enjoyed taking care of plants, but found it hard to pursue that kind of work in the city. It's too much of a concrete jungle, y'know? So for a while she gave up on the idea.

Amari worked at a construction company for about 2 years before deciding to go after the life she actually wanted. So she packed her things and took a bus ride to Pelican Town, moving into the farmhouse her grandfather left for her. Settling in took some time, but Amari adjusted to her new lifestyle. She felt right at home surrounded by lots of nature.

But of course, Stardew Valley is a really weird place. So it wasn't long before she encountered the junimos, and later Rasmodius. The "tea" she drank from the wizard not only gave her the ability to communicate with the junimos, but also unlocked her dormant supernatural abilities. She immediately gained a white streak in her hair, and while in a disoriented state, accidentally set herself ablaze and fecking collapsed 💀 Reasonably stunned, the wizard puts out her fire with magic. When she finally wakes up he apologizes, telling her that he'll look into what went wrong and report back to her as soon as he can.

In the meantime, Amari tried to return to her life as a farmer, only to be met with a new set of problems. She struggled with burning her own crops (and many, many other items). During full moons, she would undergo a physical transformation, forcing her to stay home since she stood out like a sore thumb. So yeah, her first year really sucked 🥹 It was clear by her transformation that she was half demon, but it was later confirmed by Rasmodius. Amari was really confused and angry when faced with the reality that her parents didn't bother to tell her something so important.

Things eventually got better though. Over time she figured out that being stressed causes her to combust, so she ended up burning things less often. She made a lot of lovely friends in town too, some who turned out to be just as odd as her. It was really nice knowing she wasn't alone. And eventually she married Sebastian, so things were really great for a change!

About a year into their marriage someone new showed up to the farm, a demon named Uruz. Turns out he and a few others where tasked with searching different realms in order to find Lord Wynn. He's Amari's father, and the king of the demon realm. Uruz accidentally found Amari because her aura is the same as Wynn's (and since it was the night of a full moon, it was more intense). When Uruz learned that Amari knew nothing about her powers, he took it upon himself to stay and teach her everything she needed to know. Apprehensive at first, Amari eventually agreed after talking it over with Sebastian. She felt like she couldn't rely on her dad to tell her anything. So she decided to take this as an opportunity to learn everything, about herself and the demon realm. So currently there's a menace living on their farm that they have to keep in check 😭

Since Amari is only half demon, the abilities and traits she inherited from her dad is a mystery. So when she learns about how long demons usually live, she becomes incredibly anxious about her future. But she tries not to think about it.

I reworked my tr!cpk design and I do like this one a lot better, I even added a tiny Junimo shell, think of it as a clay sculpture or something

It's basically the same as my old one but I redid the clothes a bit, he still has the same colours and everything

Bachelorettes reacting to their pregnancies. Thanks to FieryHotPotato for asking! Bachelors reaction, here

ABIGAIL

Before pregnancy, your life together will be filled with excitement and danger. You will have fun exploring the mines, running through the forest, swimming in the lake, and fighting monsters. You will spend more nights sleeping in a tent than in your own bed, having sex under many, many starry skies. Then, one day, while you are deep in the mines, Abigail will start feeling unwell. Concerned, you will rush to take her outside, and that moment will change everything.

During pregnancy, she will struggle with feelings of depression. She will believe that her adventurous life has come to an end. She will fear becoming like her mother, who lives stuck in a routine she never wanted and her eyes fill of nostalgia. She will feel guilty for resenting the pregnancy, for seeing her unborn child as a problem rather than a blessing. But you will be there for her. You will hold her close and remind her that she has always been adventurous and always will be.

You will promise to support her, that it's also your child and you will share the responsibilities of raising your child. She doesn’t have to give up the things that make her who she is. You will assure her that she is not alone, that you will do everything in your power to keep the spark of adventure alive.

In time, you will introduce her to the magic of the farm and the junimos. She will realize that you mean it—that you are not trapping her in a cage. Marriage is a union, not a prison. She will feel a sense of peace she hadn’t expected and after that, she will enjoy her pregnancy.

PENNY

She always wanted children. Teaching Vincent, Jas and Leo has always been fun—those three are constantly coming up with the craziest ideas, and she loves guiding them. The thought of becoming a mother herself fills her with excitement and hope.

During pregnancy, she will be the happiest woman on Earth, she will be constantly planning for the baby’s arrival. She will be extra sweet with you, because for the first time, she feels like she is truly breaking free from the miserable life she once knew. This baby represents a fresh start. Jas, Leo, and Vincent will be endlessly curious about the baby, bombarding her with questions and suggesting all sorts of ridiculous names. Between giggles, she will share their ideas with you—Max Power Ranger, Little Bunny, *Parrot Noises*, Super Max Soldier, Jaz (with a Z), Coconut, Super Spiderman, Princess Queen, Pirate… Each one is more absurd than the last, but she enjoys every moment of it. It would be difficult to accept being taken care from you, and she will feel a little uncomfortable at first. She has always been the one looking after others. But with time and the undeniable reality of her growing belly making simple tasks harder, she will learn to accept your help. Her relationship with her mother will remain complicated. They love each other, but the truth is, Pam has left deep scars on Penny’s heart. The trauma of growing up in a difficult home still lingers. But after some long, honest conversations, Pam will apologize to Penny. She will acknowledge the pain she caused, the mistakes she made, and she will promise to be better, to be someone Penny can rely on as she raises her own children.

In that moment, Penny will feel something shift inside her. With you by her side, and a new life about to begin, she will finally believe that she is free.

HALEY

Before pregnancy, she never doubted her beauty. It was a core part of her identity and the reason why so many people paid her attention. At the beginning of her pregnancy, she will be overjoyed, excited about the new life growing inside her. But as her belly grows, doubts will creep in her mind and she will begin to struggle with body image issues.

She has always been admired for her looks, and now, with the changes in her body, she will fear that she is becoming someone unrecognizable. She will wonder if you still see her the same way, if she is still the woman you fell in love with.

That’s when you will remind her that you are still utterly enamored with her. In fact, she is more beautiful than ever and now people can see not only her outer beauty but the depth of her heart as well. She has always been more than just her appearance anyway, and she always will be.

Even if she feels like she is losing something, she is gaining something far greater—she is becoming a mother. To help her see this, you will tell her stories of the love that awaits her. You will paint vivid pictures of the future:

How your child’s first word will be "Mommy."

How they will come home from school, grinning from ear to ear, holding up a messy crayon drawing just for her.

How they will make her terrible yet heartfelt Mother’s Day gifts—crooked clay sculptures, mismatched jewelry, cards with scribbled handwriting full of love.

How, one day, if they ever appear on TV, they will say "Hi, Mom!" while waving at the screen.

And even in the worst-case scenario—if she somehow fails as a mother and her child turns to a life of crime—even then, they will wear one of those heart tattoo with "Mom" scripted across it, forever carrying her with them.

She will laugh at your ridiculous ideas and at your nonsense. She will thank you, not just for your words, but for loving her even in her lows and support her.

EMILY

She will be deeply immersed in exploring alternative medicine and education, always searching for new ways to live and learn, even before pregnancy. Her mind will be filled with ideas, projects, and experiments. You both had agreed long ago that you wanted children someday, and now that the time has come, she will throw herself into this new chapter with the same enthusiasm she brings to everything else.

During pregnancy, her artistic side will flourish. She will spend hours making clothes for the baby, practicing yoga, and devouring book after book on alternative medicine. While you admire her passion, a part of you will begin to worry. There are countless stories of mothers and babies suffering due alternative treatments.

Gently, you will express your concerns, making it clear that you respect her beliefs but that she also needs to be careful. You will remind her that, unlike millions of people in the world who have no access to modern healthcare and must rely on alternative methods out of necessity, she has the privilege of choosing between both. You will urge her to find a balance for the good of both.

She will listen carefully, taking in your words. After some reflection, she will admit that you are right. She will smile as she tells you that, now that she is about to become a mother, she realizes she needs to keep her feet on the ground. She has always been the girl with her head in the clouds, but now, with you by her side, she understands that being on the ground it's not that bad.

She still wants to discover all the beauty and mysteries life has to offer, but she never wants to repeat the mistakes of her parents, who leave to explore the world by themselves, while she was forced to stay and take care for her younger sister.

You love that she is the kind of person who seeks new paths, who refuses to settle for the ordinary. But you are also relieved that when it matters most, she chooses pragmatism and common sense.

She is going to be a wonderful mother.

LEAH

Before pregnancy, she will be deeply focused on her art and career, traveling across the country for exhibitions and art conventions. It will be difficult to spend time together, but whenever you do manage to reunite… things will get wild. The passion between you will always burn brightly, no matter how much time you spend apart.

It will be during one of her exhibitions that she discovers she’s pregnant. Unable to contain her excitement, she will call you immediately, her voice shaking with emotion. But telling you over the phone won’t be enough. You will drop everything, leave the farm behind for a few days, and travel to wherever she is, just so you can hold her in your arms and share in the joy of this moment together.

During pregnancy, she will go to Robin, eager to learn how to construct your child’s bedroom with her own hands. The crib, the little bed, the toys...every single piece will be crafted by her. This won’t just be about preparing for the baby; it will be her way to express her love to her unborn baby, ensuring that her child grows up surrounded by things made with her own hands, knowing how much they were wanted.

She is practical—she knows she has to start with the bigger projects before her belly gets in the way. The smaller details, the finishing touches, will come in the last few weeks.

This approach will make her feel accomplished. To her, every day spent creating is a day well spent.

But as much as you admire her dedication, you will also need to remind her that she needs to rest. She is creating something far greater than any sculpture, she is bringing your child into the world.

And while she may see slowing down as a waste of time, you will make sure she understands.

MARU

Before pregnancy, the moment you both decide to have a child, she will begin treating her body like a temple. As a nurse, she knows exactly what to do to take care of herself. She will be meticulous, to prepare for a safe pregnancy.

During pregnancy, she will be extra cautious, especially when it comes to her exposure of uranium. This means stepping away from her work in robotics for a while, which will make her a little sad. Even if it's just temporal it will be frustrating for her. You will make it your mission to pamper her with all the foods she loves, making sure she feels cared for and appreciated. Luckily, you have enough strawberries for all pregnancy.

But even though she has to step away from certain projects, her creativity and passion for invention won’t fade. In fact, inspired by all the child development books she reads, she will start designing toys that help children learn and grow. Simple yet brilliant creations.

You will amazed at how she can turn her knowledge and passion into something so meaningful. One day, as you admire her latest invention, you will ask if she has ever considered designing toys specifically for children with disabilities. She will take your advise and will patent many toys.

When it comes to her prenatal care and labour, she and Harvey will have a professional conversation and come to an agreement: as much as they trust each other, it would feel strange for Harvey to be the one performing her pregnancy checkups. It would cross the boundaries of their doctor/nurse relationship in a way that neither of them is comfortable with. So, she will decide to visit another doctor in Zuzu city for that. However, if any emergency were to arise, they both agree that Maru will go to the town's clinic immediately thoug.

If you enjoyed it, please, comment, like, reblog and follow me. This helps me to grow and bring you more material like this. Also, requests and suggestions are open.

Thank you very much!

Stardew Valley Farmer Dialogue prompts 

“Hey [NPC], ever feel like time moves differently out here? One season flies by, and yet… some days stretch forever.”

“Do you think the Junimos ever get bored? I mean, what do they do when they’re not fixing things?”

“I found an old note buried in the dirt today. It just said, ‘Don’t trust the owl.’ ...Should I be worried?”

“You know, [NPC], the valley’s nice and all… but it’s even better when you’re around.”

“If I could give you a star from the night sky, I would. But for now, this [favorite gift] will have to do.”

“They say farm life is lonely… but somehow, whenever I’m with you, it feels full.”

“I swear I heard whispering in the woods last night. But when I looked, all I saw were fireflies.”

“Ever notice how the mines reset every time we leave? Almost like they’re… watching.”

“Another storm knocked down my fence again. If I see one more piece of broken wood, I’m moving to the city.”

“Why does Pierre act like I owe him something? I’m basically funding that store at this point.”

“You ever just… want to throw a Joja Cola into the river and watch it sink?”

“Do you think the valley will remember us when we’re gone? Or will it just keep growing without us?”

“I used to think happiness was about big dreams… Now I think it’s about quiet mornings and good company.”

“Funny how a place can feel more like home the longer you stay. Or maybe… we just grow into it.” 

Here are some Stardew Valley-style dialogue prompts you can use for your farmer when interacting with villagers! These fit the cozy, sometimes quirky tone of the game:

“Morning! Smells like fresh crops and adventure today.”

“Another beautiful day in the valley! How’s it treating you?”

“Hey there! Staying out of trouble? Or causing just the right amount?”

“I think my scarecrows are starting to judge me. They stare… a lot.”

“The scent of fresh flowers makes me want to run through a field… but allergies.”

“Is it just me, or do the frogs sound extra happy today?”

“Crunchy leaves, crisp air, and pumpkin pie. This season is perfection.”

“The spirits feel extra close this time of year. Kinda spooky, huh?”

“Do you think Linus ever gets cold? Maybe I should knit him a scarf.”

“You brighten my day more than a full greenhouse in winter.”

“If you were a crop, you’d be a starfruit—rare, valuable, and absolutely dazzling.”

“I’d give you my last gold star pumpkin, and that’s saying something.”

“Ever wonder if the valley has secrets? I swear I saw something move in the mines…”

“I came here to escape the city, but I think I found something better—home.”

(Greeting a villager on a rainy day) – "Guess it's one of those days, huh? At least the crops are happy."

(Meeting someone new in town) – "Hey, I'm [Farmer Name]. Just moved in at the farm. You ever need fresh produce, I’ve got you covered!"

(Talking about their farm animals) – "My chickens have been acting weird lately... you think they notice the spirits’ moods too?"

(Reacting to festival preparations) – "I can’t tell if everyone in town actually loves these festivals or just uses them as an excuse to slack off for a day."

(Noticing a villager’s new outfit or change) – "New look? Nice! You pulling inspiration from The Stardrop Fashion Guide, or is this just raw confidence?"

(Flirting casually) – "I’m usually busy on the farm, but I can make time for someone as special as you."

(Giving a bouquet to a love interest) – "I don’t have fancy words, but… here. This says it all, right?"

(Teasing a love interest about their habits) – "I see you at the Saloon every night. Should I be jealous, or are you just really bad at cooking?"

(After dating for a while) – "Waking up knowing I might see you today makes early mornings feel a little less brutal."

(If rejected) – "Oof, that stings. But hey, no worries—I'll just go whisper my heartbreak to my cows."

(Talking about the Witch’s Swamp) – "You ever get the feeling something in the swamp is watching you back?"

(Reacting to seeing a strange event at night) – "I swear I saw something glowing near the mines last night. Either I’m losing it, or there’s something the town’s not telling me."

(After finding a prismatic shard) – "This thing hums in my hands. It’s like it wants me to do something with it."

(On a Spirit’s Eve night) – "I don’t believe in ghosts. But if I did, I’d say we’re definitely not alone in this town."

(Reacting to Krobus or a monster encounter) – "Imagine telling someone from Zuzu City that there are literal shadow people living under Pelican Town. They’d think I lost it."

(Reacting to Pierre’s prices) – "400 gold for seeds? Does that come with a personal guarantee of success, or just the usual crushing debt?"

(Getting caught digging in the trash) – "Hey, I call this ‘aggressive recycling.’ Don’t judge."

(Seeing Shane in the Saloon again) – "Surprise, surprise. You and that barstool are practically married at this point."

(When someone complains about farm work being hard) – "Oh yeah, waking up at 6 AM to water 200 crops by hand is a real breeze. You should try it sometime!"

(After passing out at 2 AM) – "Guess my body said, ‘That’s enough Stardew for today.’"
