🐓 Headcanons: Shane's past 🌶️

The following is all just my opinion and personal headcanons on Shane's life before moving to stardew valley :) Marnie remarks in canon that he only moved in a few months before the farmer did, so it seems like a lot went on for him before then!

TWs for: child neglect, alcohol abuse, death, grief, depression, suicidal ideation

LONG POST ..

🐥Childhood🐥

Shane was.. unplanned. His parents had a rather unstable marriage, and no desire for a child. It happened anyway.

Shane's childhood was rocky from day one. Neither parent really wanted to look after him, because neither of them had ever really wanted him. He was often just left to his own devices or to a babysitter.

Both of his parents had an alcohol problem. They would fight over it frequently, and had very unhealthy attitudes toward it.

After their fights, his mother would usually go out drinking, and his father would usually drink and watch TV. Drinking as a way of "coping" was something that Shane was repeatedly exposed to in his youth. He was never really shown any healthy coping mechanisms.

Occasionally, he'd get dropped off at Marnie's when his parents went away for a night or weekend. Shane and Marnie had a good relationship and Marnie grew to regret not being able to have him more often as a child. Shane's parents didn't like to make the trip to Stardew Valley too often, but Marnie wished she could have seen him more.

Other than occasionally taking care of Shane, Marnie and Shane's parents had practically cut ties. Marnie never really got along with her sister and when Marnie realised how terrible a mother she was being, that was the final straw.

At school, Shane didn't have many friends. Since his parents had never bothered to properly socialise him, he had his social anxiety set in very early and found it difficult to interact with other kids at school. Despite not having many friends, he was never really bullied either. Kids sort of instinctively knew not to mess with him.

If his 2nd grade teacher had to describe Shane, they'd have said he was very quiet, reclusive and withdrawn, but was creative with a spectacular imagination.

Throughout his life, Shane brought home consistently average grades. Usually C's and B's, maybe an occasional D here and there.

After school, Shane liked to practice playing gridball. He was always a part of the school gridball team, and his teachers always noted it was the only time anyone saw him come out of his shell.

He would also go home and watch gridball on TV as often as he could. Sometimes his dad would be watching it in the living room with a beer, and Shane would lurk in the corner, intently watching the game too.

Shane's favourite player and hero played for the Zuzu city tunnelers and wore the number 2. He idolised this player and often imagined what it'd be like if this player was his dad instead.

🐔Teenage years🐔

During his teenage years in school, Shane didn't change much. He brought home average grades, stayed quiet and reclusive, and kept out of people's way.

During this time, his egg cracked and he socially transitioned, alleviating a lot of the dysphoria he'd been experiencing. He also came out to his parents, who were almost completely apathetic to it. Shane figured this was a win, it was better if they didn't care.

He continued playing gridball and would go for long runs when he wasn't playing. He gained a good amount of stamina and gained a good amount of muscle mass during this time.

He didn't really speak to or see Marnie during this time. She sent him birthday cards but that was about the limit of their communication.

During this time, he became very close friends with two of his classmates. The trio all loved sports and could be seen training together pretty often.

🐔 16-20 🐔

At this age, Shane became almost totally independent from his parents. He stopped speaking to them completely, and rarely even saw them. He wasn't home much and neither were they.

At high school, he maintained his strong friendship with the two classmates. His two friends became a couple, but Shane was never treated as a third wheel. He was still their best friend and the three did many things together.

Occasionally, Shane would sneak out with them and go for drinks. Despite being young, he would sometimes stay out all night and go to parties.

Shane was formally a member of his high school's gridball team. He was a well loved player and talented at that. His entire team loved him.

Shane fondly looks back on this period as one of the best times in his entire life. He wishes things afterwards could have been different.

🐓Twenties🐓

Straight after high school ended, Shane moved out. More accurately, his parents kicked him out, claiming that he could afford to look after himself.

Because of this, Shane crashed with his two friends for a while. This lasted until he found a job and had enough money to rent a small place.

When Shane was still in his early twenties, one of the two friends became pregnant, and nine months later gave birth to baby Jas. The couple formally made Shane her godfather.

As Jas grew, Shane slowly became involved in her life. Starting in his mid twenties, his friends would sometimes have her stay at Shane's house while they went out. Jas loved Shane a lot, and he would teach her how to play gridball, or let her stay up late to watch movies. He was kind of her cool uncle.

It was on one of these nights that a serious accident took place. Jas' parents were both killed in a freak accident, and Shane's life was changed forever.

It turned out that Shane was the only person who had been named to take custody of Jas should anything happen. He took her in, of course, but he'd never be the same again.

Shane was in a perpetual state of shock. He didn't know how to handle himself. His only close friends were dead, he had to grieve somehow, and now he had to take care of a child that he loved but wasn't prepared for.

The next few years were extremely rough, and one of the worst periods of Shane's life. He started drinking heavily to cope with the loss, having never been shown any other ways of dealing with sadness. He was always kind to Jas, but he had to put in more and more hours at work to sustain the both of them. He'd needed a bigger apartment so that Jas could have extra space, but he couldn't afford the rent and was quickly going bankrupt due to low wages and his brain steadily becoming addicted to alcohol.

Shane had a major breakdown when he realised what was happening to him. He waited until Jas had gone to bed, and broke down sobbing in his apartment for the loss of his friends, the loss of control, the loss of his health, financial stability, and the loss of his entire life.

Shane had become very very depressed - the illness had come on rapidly, and he couldn't bring himself to do basic necessities like brushing his teeth or getting up on time for work anymore. He dreaded becoming like his own parents, but all he saw in the mirror was his mother and father staring right back at him.

At some point, Shane began to consider suicide. It was a nagging thought in the back of his mind, a quick escape. He had no plan at this point, but it was always on his mind.

He hit a breaking point one freezing winter night when he could no longer pay his rent and realised he was going to be evicted, and called the only person that he thought might be able to help him. His aunt Marnie.

Marnie was shocked to hear the deep, gruff voice on the other end of the phone - she hadn't seen her Nephew since he was little, so it was an even bigger surprise when he was standing at her door, with a couple of suitcases, dark, sunken in eyes, straggly hair and a face that could only be described as entirely miserable.

Of course, Marnie welcomed Shane and Jas best she could, and let her nephew know that the new superstore to the right of the village was hiring. Shane quickly applied and started working at Jojamart.

Shane's life became monotone from there, but at least it was stable. At least Jas was safe, and at least he had a job. His depression went untreated and steadily worsened, but you know that...

Little did he know, Shane's life was about to take a dramatic turn one more time when a new farmer would move into town, just north of aunt Marnie's ranch...!

Day 5 - Age of Heroes

Got a bit carried away with this one, ngl. Had to stop myself from going further and fine tuning it more, cause I was pretty damn happy with the concept and the magazine cover overlay and I wanted it to be a Piece ykwim? Anyways, bam. Here it is, a day late, but here nonetheless!

Just noticed a fun little detail in Uncanny Avengers 2017 - Pietro and Wanda's matching necklaces

I don't recall if this was ever touched on in story. Maybe it was a cute little detail the artists added and I love it. In South Asian cultures parents who can do so gift their children matching jewelry, my siblings and I have matching necklaces with our birthstones from our parents. I can't speak for Romani culture and @scarlet--wiccan can speak on that better than me (apologies scarlet wiccan for making assumptions and if I'm wrong)

I also think it's interesting that Pietro always tucks the necklace under his clothes and the one panel it's out he's clutching it (hiding any pendant if there is any) - it's practical while running but like he's keeping his emotions close to his chest which fits as he's the more close off twin whereas Wanda wears hers over her clothes showing she's more approachable and it sparkles when she uses her powers haha.

If your thiking about how they approach their relationships with Jericho and Emily in this run as well it also fits as Wanda goes for it and makes the first move, while Pietro struggles to admit his feelings.

Ironed out some of the last kinks in the Hail, True Body AU plot last night and today. So now I can safely say that this AU has an established ending planned out and I know exactly how it's all going to get there!

went over the first five chapters of the hobbit in depth with my 8th graders, talked about songs as motifs in tolkien, bilbo’s internal journey, the difference between the dwarves’ love of beauty and skill with their hands and the goblins’ purely clever and mercenary skill with machines, Rivendell as a place of rest but not the final destination, and Gandalf as a person who helps immensely but does not always stay for every second of the journey. it was so fun

Your WoH fic is one of my all time favorite fics (which I coincidentally reread yesterday) and I recently got back into Timkon hell for the first time since like 2017 so discovering your Timkon fic today made me super happy! Your works in every fandom have been consistently amazing! Whenever I see a work is by Sundiscus, I know it's going to be a good one. I hope you have a great day!

thank you so much!!! this is so so nice of you to say. i also love that you got dragged back to timkon after so long and get to read new content for them now. one of my best friends @90kon was into timkon ages ago and even tried to pitch them to me in like 2020 and it went right over my head, but now i get to witness their timkon renaissance too and that’s been incredibly fun. the gift (ship) that keeps on giving 💪

The animation in Dragon Ball Superhero is fucking stunning and emulates the anime style perfectly, reminiscent of how Into the Spiderverse emulates the comic style. It also makes everything feel considerably more expressive because the creators were easily able to have fabric and hair move in response to actions (eg. Whis’ funky dress sway, Piccolo’s antenna emoting which I will also NEVER get over, Cell Max’s tail swaying) The haters are just salty it’s not the traditional 2D but this movie’s animation slaps and this is coming from someone who’s quite a bit critical about animation.

Just some personal thoughts but noojs booking lately pretty much doesn’t interest me - i still love my favs but since WK15 nothing really kept me for long. It doesnt really help that 2021 was pretty rough for njpw, and most angles i was interested in didnt go how I personally would have liked them to. A lot of nooj rn for me feels like “this was booked out of necessity and not longterm storytelling”
