Current Stardew Valley ships

I'm including characters from Ridgeside Village and Expanded mods bc they are canon in my heart 💕

Maru x Sam

Girl boss and her himbo, need I say more? They have to have interacted since Sam is Seb's friend! Classic crush on older brother's friend. Also I think Sam would be super creative and everytime he was like "what if-" Maru would try to invent the thing. Complete chaos. Demetrius tries to threaten Sam like he does the farmer but it completely goes over Sam's head. This pairing lives in my head rent free.

Hailey x Leah

I can definitely see the two of them having multiple forest meet cutes and bonding over their passion for art! Just picture Hailey teaching Leah how to photograph and Leah teaching Hailey to paint and scuplt, both leaning new crafts together. They totally end up running a joint etsy and presenting their works at the fair! They make such a cute cottagecore couple fr if you think about it. I think they'd adopt a bunny don't ask me why. 🐰

Jeric (RSV) x Alex

Yessss himbo rivals to lovers! Ever since I saw there was a mod for them to get together I've been sold. It's canon to me.

Philip (RSV) x Sophia (SDVE)

Sophia enjoys anime, manga, and cosplay. Phillip has a secret geeky side and loves comics. I can totally see these two making awkward small talk at the Stardrop Saloon that turns into Gus politely asking them to leave because they got so enthralled discussing their favorites that they lost track of time and everything else going on around them and now the Saloon is empty and about to close lol. They end up having a slow burn geeky friends to lovers featuring them sharing copies of manga/comics and discussing the latest episodes of their favorite shows. Gus definitely ships it and gives them a nudge here and there.

Flor (RSV) x Gunther

The slowest slow burn. They are both autism creatures. I can completely see them bonding over their special interests bc if you think about it, archeologists and psychologists both study people. Just imagine them infordumping to each other on coffee dates in the Log Cabin Café or discussing the implications of newly discovered artifacts in the museum after hours. They are basically married before either one works up the nerve to ask the other on a date. The whole valley quietly ships it.

Shiro (RSV) x Harvey

Hear me out: Former paratrooper in recovery being treated by a doctor who wanted to be a pilot? There is no way they didn't talk about planes and Shiro's experiences. Shiro probably enjoyed that someone was talking to him about his interests instead of his injuries, it likely made him feel *normal again for awhile. I can just picture the moment when Harvey shows Shiro his radio equipment when he's well enough to go up the stairs, it's a big moment for them both for many reasons 🥺 Also, the added drama of having a crush on your doctor/patient...

*I'm not saying Shiro isn't normal, he has in game dialogue expressing he doesn't feel normal bc of his injuries. As a person with mobility issues myself I understand that mindset and how hard it is not to feel that way.

One of the funniest things about Date Night is the way the farmer hauls a s s back home at the end of the date. Gotta get that dick.

Snippets #4

I've established before that Callie has a low opinion of Lewis, but this little bit of dialogue lowered it further. Pam has past experience as a trucker and bus driver. The bus broke down, so she lost that gig, but she was clearly on the valley's payroll when it happened. Why the bloody hell didn't Lewis just put her on shipping bin duty?! Let her do the midnight runs around the valley collecting everybody's wares for sale and keep her ass out of the saloon? *grumble grumble growl*

Yeah, Callie likes the old cuss for several reasons. At least they can bond over a mutual dislike for Lewis.

Awwww! Everybody loves the farmer girl. 🥰

And soon enough, you will too, sir.

All my 1.6 playthrough posts can be found here, and my mod loadout here. If you're curious about Callie and my attempt to interweave SVE, Ridgeside, and East Scarp, look here for an ongoing series about her first year.

Oh yeah, the Stardew ask one! Dance of the Moonlight Jellies and Stardew Valley Fair for Skylar? 😊✨

🌙 Dance of the Moon Jellies 🌙

How does your OC feel about staying up to watch the moon jellies? Do they go? Do they stay home? Skylar's not exactly a big fan of the beach or the ocean, but there's something so undeniably beautiful and mystical about the lunaloos that they can't resist the opportunity to go see them.

Do they start to fall asleep and need someone to keep them up? & Do they watch the jellies with others or prefer to find a quiet spot to observe all on their own? If they do watch with others, who do they watch it with? They absolutely do start to doze off while waiting. They've been working hard all day after all! But that's why Skylar likes to be around Philip since he has the same problem. If one of them starts to fall asleep the other will wake them up. Or Torts will bite them if they both doze off 😅

🍔 Stardew Valley Fair 🍔

How do they feel about the Stardew Valley Fair? Is it fun or annoying? How do they feel about the tourist? Skylar is pretty neutral about the fair and usually spends their time just standing in silence with Marlon by the weapons grange, mostly to avoid the tourist and chat with Alesia if she comes by.

What games do they play, if any? Do they play to win star tokens or just for fun? What kind of prizes do they like to get? Slingshot game, 100 Percent. It's less about the star tokens and more about wanting to beat Sam's high score, but they haven't even gotten close to it yet. They usually end up buying some random food item, a plushie, or piling their coins together with the rest of their friends for something they wanted.

How do they feel about Gus's burgers? Skylar's not exactly vegetarian, but they don't eat a lot of meat. They think the burgers are okay, but you'll usually find them over at Pika's instead if they're getting something to eat. They are incredibly concerned and amused by the rate at which Lance seems to scarf them down though

Blog update: changing Sam's fakename to Elliott because, upon realizing that id unintentionally used a Stardew Valley character name, I decided I should switch to the Stardew character that actually matches (handsome, English major)

[lovethedanielhd]

I'm playing Stardew Valley Expanded + Ridgeside village with my bestie and I want to you guess why I fell in love with Philip LMAO

[elienna-and-co]

My characters by their Stardew Valley (Ridgeside Village included) spouses of choice

Elienna: Her canon love interest is the cozy anxiety doctor with kitschy decor in his room, and oh look here, Stardew Valley also has a cozy anxiety doctor with kitschy decor in his room! Doctor Harvey it is!

Blackbird: Doesn't have a canon love interest, but as a Very Angry Halfling (TM), she probably befriends Shane relatively quickly. Whether they actually fall in love, not sure, but their energies are similar enough that they actually like each other!

Francis: He definitely enjoys the flirty competition with Jeric over whose farm is better.

Hannelore: Anyone with an extremely geeky interest who will not shut up about it. In base game, most likely Emily, because blue hair, but I could also see her going for Maru or Sebastian or Abigail or Sam or Kenneth or Philip or...

Flick: Oh I think we're going to have a fight over Emily, seeing as how in Abomination Vaults Flick has a huge crush on Wrin the cute astrology shopkeeper, but then they went on a date that Wrin didn't know was a date, and now Flick is too embarrassed for anything else romantic.

Soleil: They encounter Alissa singing in the Liden family orchard and tell her "your voice is magical" and they are just as enchanted by her as everyone else is enchanted by them.

Gardenia: She takes Alex from Haley just because she can. She's kind of like Jolene that way. I don't think she even likes Alex all that much. She doesn't like anyone other than herself that much.

Just some screenshots.

My husband is cuter than yours

[rsv-sdv]

Philip: people on a physical therapy forum accused me of making my job up. 😞

Me: what they say about you?

Me: (ʘ‿ʘ)ﾉ🌸 hold my flower, babe

[rsv-sdv]

I did the baby thing for the first time since my first game and I'm already over it. 🕊️

K¡nky head canon ahead about Philip, mild spoilers for his 10 heart under the cut.

Philip uses honorifics with the farmer at early hearts. Ma'am, sir, or ser, depending on your farmer's gender and whether you're playing with the rsv gender neutrality mod.

Philip's ten heart is a love confession and ends with him inviting you to spend the night (he notes that he has the entire hotel floor to himself). Despite the L word being uttered and him apparently banging the farmer, one of his dialogue lines nevertheless uses an honorific again. Philip follows this up with, "sorry, that's a hard habit to break." There's literally no reason for him to habitually call the farmer by a title unless there's power dynamics at play in private.

Which, it would track that he might lean submissive since he spends all day every day taking care of others. He might like to flip the script, y'know?

[rsv-sdv]

Every time Philip is like, "weekend movie marathon?" I'm like, "sir, are you inviting me to Netflix and chill?"

[rsv-sdv]

Half the reason I'm obsessed with Philip is cuz he's so damn cute when he blushes.

[rsv-sdv]

Philip is my very favorite but it aggravates me a little that he addresses you with an honorific for like the first three hearts. I'm from a fairly informal culture, even for the US, and that's before you even get to my politics lol.

I've literally had one job where I used a formal address ("[honorific]. [last name]") for someone who was only de facto my boss. every other boss, or boss of my boss, I've addressed by first name. And here Philip is, talking to me like I'm way above him in some kind of hierarchy.
