FnF Characters in an Acting AU + Shipping AMV Reactions

For you @frostybearpaws

Mel: Former model. Not just any model, mind you. We're talking Iman or Naomi Campbell levels of powerhouse. She is the muse for a dozen fashion brands, from Versace to St. Laurent. Fluent in a half-dozen languages. Has an MA in art history. A prodigy at piano and harpsichord. Her social media is sublime eye candy; she is lauded as a style icon, and highly sought after by Vanity Fair and Vogue for covers.

Champions tirelessly for better roles for black women in TV and film. Outspoken advocate of the #MeToo movement. Passionately antiwar, and works with a number of educational advocacy groups. Has even made a formal speech before Congress.

re: the AMVs - "Oh this is delightfully done." Flattered by the passionate responses of fans, and amused by the spirited fanbase split between Meljay and Melco. When asked who she ships: "Meljay, I'm afraid. Silco has his charming qualities. But Mel needs someone who will prioritize her, and only her."

Violet: Relative newcomer. Mostly typecast in sporty 'tough chick' roles. Had a big breakout role in a "Bend it Like Beckham" type early 2000s film. The scriptwriters chickened out with a heteronormative ending, but fans latched on to all the queer subtext in film. She's got a huge Insta following, due to her popularity in the fandom, her status as an LGBTQ+ icon, or her being an ex-pro athlete.

She's a big proponent for more diverse representation in pop culture. She also has a degree in gender studies, and is an avid fanfiction reader. She's even written some smutty one-shots of her own <3

re: the AMVs: "Wow. Just... wow." Speechless at how horny y'all are. Like, off the chains horny. And she's totally not judging. At all. But... "Damn. Take a cold shower, guys."

Sssh. She ships CaitVi too. And she agrees the Nao arc was uncalled for. "Idk what the writers were thinking. Vi would never cheat on Cait. Even if they did break up." </3

Jayce: Child actor who was thrust into the limelight after starring in a 1990s sitcom. It was cancelled, but ended up having a massive cult following. His last big project was the 2000s comedy flick, "Freaks of Zaun," which, despite a critical drubbing, remains a favorite of the genre. He's kind of a douche irl, but fans are still super into him. He's also an influencer, and runs a successful YouTube channel where he posts workout routines, travel vids, and other lifestyle-adjacent stuff.

Huge fanboy of his own character, and never shuts up about him.

re: the AMVs: "You know what? I kinda get it. These are pretty good." Is a little miffed at the whole "Jayce is an idiot" meme. “Look, he's a fucking scientist. I don't think a stupid guy could pull off the invention of Hextech." He also doesn't appreciate the ship wars, especially when it gets into toxic territory. "C'mon, guys. It's acting. There are no actual relationships. Don't turn this into a hatefest."

Has gotten cancelled once already. He's since learned not to touch that particular can of worms.

Ships MelJay and tolerates JayVik. Blanches at the mention of JayCo.

Jinx: Total newbie to the industry. Was a former gymnast, and an Olympian in the making. A torn meniscus put her out of the competition. Her agent, who'd been trying to convince her to switch to acting, seized the opportunity to get her in front of the camera. She's never had a day's training. But she's a natural. Her energy is infectious, and her charm is unmatched. A real sweetheart, too. Loves dogs and is a vegan. Advocates tirelessly for animal rights.

re: the AMVs: Shrieking at the first video like a kid in a candy shop. "Is this real? How do I join?" The first to suggest livestreaming the cast's reactions. She's not a fan of shipping wars, but has a live-and-let live attitude. Will scroll through instagram liking any video or post that has #Timebomb in the tag - her favorite ship, btw. She also likes Melco, Sevilco and JayVik.

But not Cait/Vi. Or Jinx/Silco.

"Just... yuck."

(CaitVi shippers accuse her routinely of homophobia. She's not homophobic. She's ace-aro. She's just finds the CaitVi pairing boring.)

Sevika: A rising star, and a fan favorite. She was a former MMA fighter before an accident left her with a paralyzed left arm. She'd been content to go the rest of her life as a trainer, until a talent scout noticed her. She was cast as a supporting character in a cop procedural. It ran three seasons, but her charisma made her a longstanding fandom icon. Audiences in FnF have been clamoring for more screen time, and the writers have been accommodating. Rumor has it that they're working on an origin story arc, where she'll be the main character.

re: the AMVs: "How'd this become a thing? You're all fucking weird." Has an opinion on every video. Doesn't hold back. Her reviews are highly anticipated, and fans love her blunt commentary. She doesn’t ship anyone. But she will like any MelCo tags that cross her Twitter feed.

Not because she thinks they're hot, but because she hates Jayce, and thinks it'd be fun to watch him suffer.

Married IRL to Mel, whom she met on set<3

Caitlyn: Nepo baby. Her parents were both Academy Award-nominated actors, who met while filming a romcom. They've had an on-again, off-again relationship for the last thirty years. Cait has been in the industry her whole life, and acting professionally since she was five. Her resume is filled with romantic comedies and period pieces. She's been compared to Audrey Hepburn, and is considered a classic Hollywood beauty. Originally, she was cast in the role of Nandi, opposite "young" Silco. But the Vekauran community derided the casting as whitewashing, and her chemistry with young Silco was totally lacking. She was recast as Vi's romantic interest, and the rest is history.

She's a huge fan of CaitVi, and is known for her frequent appearances at Comic Con. Always happy to pose with cosplayers of her character. She also has a penchant for weird memes.

re: the AMVs: Has a very strict rule about never Googling her name. Opts out of the shipping wars, too. "If it makes people happy, who am I to judge?"

Vander: Former action star, and a fan favorite. Played a superhero vigilante in the late 80s. Known for his iconic lines: "We can do this the easy way. Or the hard way." He had a string of hit films before the industry shifted away from the genre. His career suffered, and he found himself typecast in a string of poorly-received knock-offs of his old films. His final movie tanked at the box office, and he nearly threw in the towel. But his manager convinced him to audition for the show.

He and Silco are known for their on-screen chemistry, and were the subject of a lot of "Are they?" questions. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Vander even stated, "Look, I'd do Silco. It's no secret." Which caused quite the stir on the internet. Sources still aren’t sure if he meant the actor or the character.

He's a huge fan of the show, and a proud member of the fandom. He ships Jinx & Silco, but as platonic soul-family. He's also a CaitVi and Timebomb fan.

re: the AMVs: "Aww, this is cute." He's the most positive out of the bunch. Is a bit weirded out by the fan obsession with his love life. "I mean, I'm flattered, really. But c'mon, guys. I have a husband." Is super active on Twitter, and frequently replies to fans.

Viktor: Little-known actor from a small country in Eastern Europe. He'd been an up-and-coming romantic hero, guest-starring in a popular soap opera. When a visa snafu kept him from appearing on the show, he was replaced. But the fans revolted. They loved the character, and didn't want to see him gone. The studio listened, and after he found good legal representation, he was able to secure a permanent work visa and keep the role.

Very sweet and reserved; he's not really into social media, or even the internet.

re: the AMVs: Totally geeking out over them. Has a huge crush on Jinxtor, but doesn't realize it's a no-no in the USA as Jinx is 18, and Viktor is 34. He enjoys JayVik as both a scienbros dynamic and as a romantic couple.

Favorite ship is SkyVik. He's even collaborated with a few AMV creators on Youtube on a whole collection of SkyVik videos.

"It's a tragic love story, no?"

Silco: Indie darling. He was a teen star in the early 80s, and garnered a small but loyal fanbase. His first film was a horror flick, where he played a troubled runaway who'd been possessed by a demon. The raw animalism of the performance garnered him a Golden Globe nomination, and his subsequent projects had a similar gothic flair. He's also starred in a number of subversive art house films. His breakout role was the dissolute vampire king in the cult classic, "Blood for Blood" - for which he snagged an Oscar nod.

IRL he's a vocal advocate for unionization, and regularly attends protests in support of worker's rights. Conversely, he's also a vocal proponent of capital punishment.

re: the AMVs: Is mystified at first. Then intrigued. Then appreciative. "This is quite good. The editing. The cinematography. The music. It's not all amateurish, as one might expect." Mostly, he's a silent observer. Always watching, and seldom commenting. A veritable mystery.

He ships CaitVi, but only for the aesthetic. Jilco gets a raised eyebrow and a headshake. Vanco gets a crooked smile. Sevilco, and he'll actually chuckle.

"You are a strange, strange people."

His favorite ship is Melco. Largely because he and Mel had a fling irl during his tenure on the show.

Ekko: Hearthrob of the fanbase. He's an influencer, and runs a YouTube channel where he reviews tech toys and gadgets. His fans are mostly teens, and he has an adorable 'too cool for school' schtick. He's a huge nerd, though, and is actually a prodigy when it comes to mechanical engineering. His parents were scientists, and he was homeschooled his whole life. He got his first TV role by winning a game show, where he had to create a prototype toy that would be marketed and sold to kids.

He's also the funniest out of the cast. And he knows it. Always quick with a zinger, and can turn even the most awkward situation into a comedy routine.

re: the AMVs: Cracks up over the first few videos. Then becomes an avid fan of the whole genre. Has a soft spot for Timebomb, but he and Jinx are friends irl, so he doesn't want to make things weird. Comes up with his own random ships to troll the fanbase.

Ekko/Vi - "A disaster. Imagine how awkward that would be."

Ekko/Mel - "She's totally out of his league. But I'm down to see how it would go."

Ekko/Sevika - "Now, that would be something. She is one hot mama."

Ekko/Jayce - "I'd top him. There, I said it."

Ekko/Cait - "She's totally a virgin. She'd die."

Ekko/Silco - "Fuck this guy, amirite? Literally."

Steve sighs at the mirror, adjusting and readjusting while he parts his hair to one side and then the other. He pushes it all back and then messes it up, just to push it all back again. He grunts in frustration, hand landing a little too hard down on the bathroom sink upstairs. Hard enough that Bandit whines and noses at his thigh.

“I’m sorry buddy,” he apologizes softly under his breath, scratching him behind the ears, “We’ll go for a walk in a minute.”

He takes out his phone, typing furiously only for the text conversation to turn into a FaceTime call.

“What’re you worried about this time, sporty spice?” Eddie’s nicotine soaked voice crackles through the speakers.

“Are my grays getting obvious?” he asks with a frown, looking in the mirror and ruffling his hair again while holding the camera up to his face.

“Are your grays gettin—Steve you’re in your forties,” he sighs, “You’re gonna have grays.”

“Yeah but what if like…what if she thinks they’re weird? What if they make me look old?” he frowns.

“You goin’ on a date with her or something? Oh wait —” Eddie smirks into the phone cockily, “You’re too pussy to ask.”

“Fuck off man,” Steve sucks his teeth, putting the phone on the sink counter and parting his hair again, “I’m taking Bandit for a walk and I might see her.”

“You’re stressed about grays because you MIGHT see the neighbor you wanna bang?”

“Don’t say bang, babe,” Steve hears Eddie’s girlfriend’s voice in the background, he holds back a smirk.

“Your grays aren’t obvious, handsome,” Eddie assures, “And even if they were, chicks love them. Don’t you babe?!” he calls out.

“Don’t I what?!” her tinny voice squeaks through.

“Like my grays?!”

“Sure!” she calls back, it’s unconvincing.

“See, honey,” Eddie coos at him, “You’re fine.”

Steve looks in mirror and blows a breath out through his mouth, shaking his head, “Yeah, I’m just gonna wear a fucking hat.”

“Why do you ask for my help then? You always do this! You alwa—”

Click.

The silence is suddenly appreciated, just hearing Bandits claws on the wood floors while Steve goes to the dresser and slides on his Cubs cap.

“C’mon boy,” he smiles at Bandit, “Let’s go for that walk.”

They race each other down the stairs.

- totally not carol

🥺 I’m so soft right now, no one speak to me or talk to me for the rest of the night. CAROL! 😩 this is the best little surprise I could ever ask for. Fuck, I love these old men more than I’ve loved anything before.

If the Stardew Valley bachelor/ettes were cats...

Shane would be a feral alley tomcat that got rescued and taken to an animal sanctuary and now helps foster orphaned chicks. He'll even keep a nest of eggs warm while the hens are out. If you bribe him with enough treats he'll let you pet him. He just so happens to be in the kitchen whenever cheese or pepperoni is on the counter.

Sebastian would be like my cat Opal, sleek with shiny black fur. Wary of strangers, only affectionate to a couple people and 100% indoors. Spends most of his time in his hidey hole in the cat tree observing the world around him. He's a sucker for catnip.

Abigail would be a sweet medium hair dark grey tabby who likes to go indoors and outdoors, and occasionally gets the mega zoomies. The kind of cat you could take with you in an RV and let loose on a campground to explore. She's a good mouser, too.

Haley would be a pampered persian show cat with a pedigree who likes to lay around in a sunny window for passers by to admire. She loves pets, but make sure your hands are clean or she'll vigorously clean whatever part of her you just touched.

Emily would be a therapy cat, the kind they take to children's hospitals and old folks homes to cheer everyone up because she's so playful and friendly. She has a fascination with colorful things and loves kneading soft fabrics. She's one of those rare cats who will actually let you dress her up.

Harvey would be an easygoing cat that spends his days cheering up patients in a doctor's waiting room. He's friendly but spooks a little easily. Whenever he ends up in a high place like a tree, he gets too scared to climb down and has to be rescued.

Elliot would be a handsome longhair ginger tom, endlessly curious about everything around him. He likes to sit in the window and watch the outside world with wonder. He loves to play with feathers and hang out at the fishing docks for scraps and to feel the salty wind in his fur.

Leah would be the perfect farm cat. Friendly enough to be a great companion, but independent enough that she mostly can take care of herself and live off your land. Loves to sharpen her claws on wood.

Penny would be a sweet little ginger emotional support cat. Always on your lap whenever you need her most. Not scared of kids and always so gentle and patient with them. The kind of cat you'll never forget long after she's gone.

Alex and Sam would be dogs, honestly. Alex would be a sporty dog with boundless energy like an Australian cattle dog. Sam would be a golden retriever, no explanation needed.

#stardew valley #stardew valley headcanons #cats #sdv shane #sdv harvey #sdv emily #sdv elliot #sdv sebastian #sdv penny #sdv haley #sdv leah #sdv sam #sdv alex #sdv abigail
