#// >:3c yes good treat him right!!! you know he sure doesn't treat himself this way!

[forgivenpunishment]

He has something for you, Wolfwood!

Something in a little be-handled cardboard box with the logo of a local bakery stamped on the side that Vash seems particularly excited about-- the note he left did say he'd pick him up something for breakfast, after all. He had been out topping up on their supplies- necessities like rations and plenty of water, directions to the nearby cities and settlements, and a pretty helpful tip for where they could fill up on fuel -which left Wolfwood with the oh-so-daunting task of 'make sure our stuff's ready for checkout' if he woke up while Vash was out... but if he didn't, and he was still sleeping, that was perfectly fine, too. The Plant had made good time for once, even if he did end up falling asleep for a little while...

As it turns out, spice isn't the only thing this town is heavy-handed with, but coffee, too; lots of desserts and things are flavored with it, and most of the shops that serve food also serve a 'special' strong coffee - and while he could wager a guess as to what that means and ruin the illusion they're trying to maintain, Vash opted instead to just ask for a cup of it, which he palms to the undertaker with a smile.

"We've gotta leave today anyway, right? Might as well go out with a bang, and while it's not exactly cake, it's the closest I could find without ordering ahead - chocolate espresso tart." the blond chirps, setting the box down on the table and opening it up so he could carefully extract the contents. One hefty slice of what is essentially a chocolate pie: chocolate cookie crumb crust, rich ganache filling, and a perfect-looking peak of coffee-flavored cream on top. Flanking it are six chocolate-covered strawberries, which... he did not ask for, but he assumes made it into the box when he mentioned that it was for his boyfriend.

That poor lady behind the counter. His voice creaks quite a bit if he speaks too loudly; she was such a good sport about him keeping sort of quiet, even as he rambled on-

"Kind of an unconventional breakfast, buuut..." he trails off somewhat pointedly. Then, his brows go up; a realization about just how this might come across hits him, and he's right back to blustering- "a-and I did go and get everything we needed before I picked this up! I didn't just blow everything I had left on this...!"

⩥ @orangetintedglasses || treats for mothwood [random ask, always accepting]

Thankfully, sleep comes without any dreams or nightmares despite the low mood his mind was threatening to commit to. He does, however, vaguely wake up when Vash unclamps his arms so he can get out of bed. Wolfwood barely remembers if he said anything or not, but he'd fallen back asleep.

Every part of his body aches. Aching isn't normally a huge issue for him—he carries a three-hundred pound cross on his back, he's either acclimated to the pain or doesn't experience any, he's not sure which—but the bruises and bites and everything... is painful. It's a good kind of hurt though.

He wakes an hour later and stretches his arms all the way up, popping what feels like every bone in his body with a strained grunt. Vash isn't there. Wolfwood kind of knew that? But still, his heart can't help but beat faster—what if he really did leave? He wouldn't—not after everything—

Oh. There's a note. It better not be a goodbye note or he's going to kick Vash's ass. (And Vash's stuff is still in the room, but Wolfwood fails to notice that. It's early! He just woke up!)

... So Wolfwood goes about the heavy task of picking their things up and packing them all up. Their clothes are... scattered—the ones that had been drying before their shower got thrown vaguely in the direction of Vash's bag. The blond's clothes seem to be put away, but Wolfwood's are... a mess. Grumbling the entire time, Nicholas gets dressed and ready for the day, then finishes stuffing the last of their things into their bags when Vash arrives.

"Hey Needle-noggin, I got—" his partner seems satisfied with himself as he sets the bag on the table and begins removing its contents. Wolfwood may as well be drooling. Chocolate has always been one of his favorites; when he was a child, they would rarely get chocolate as a treat. Whenever they did, Nico often broke off many pieces of his to give to the younger kids. Sometimes he'd give up the whole bar. Once or twice, they got to put chocolate chips in their pancakes.

Something like this though... this is eye candy that you'd see in the window of a bakery. He'd never bothered getting anything like this. Money's too tight to spend frivolously—especially on... sweets. Alcohol is at least something he can socialize with... but...

"... That's for me? What did I... why did you..." He sits at the table and takes the coffee from Vash's hands before nodding his head to the other seat as though asking the blond to sit too, "I didn't do anything to deserve this—I-I mean, uh, why didn't you get yourself a box of donuts for the same price—it's..."

For a minute or so, Wolfwood just stares at it, like it'll disappear if he blinks.

No need to get all sentimental about it, Nicholas. It's... just a piece of—what is this thing? Pie?

When is the last time he's been given a gift? It's not like the Eye of Michael goes around celebrating birthdays—not that he even knows when his is—and their ideas of gifts are questionable, to say the least.

He takes a forkful, making sure to get some of the cream as well, and brings it into his mouth. Sweet, chocolatey, creamy filling perfectly complements the slightly bitter tang of the coffee whipped cream. The pastry is flaky and light and... doesn't taste like cardboard. He practically vibrates at the prospect of trying one of the strawberries next.

Oh. Oh no. This is...

"...Holy shit," he mutters with a partially full mouth, "This is the best thing I've ever eaten. You gotta try some—"

Now completely energized, Wolfwood holds his used fork out to Vash, insisting he has some. It's only natural for Nicholas to share, after all.

[matamisin]

I am absolutely living for the Stardew art. I love that game so much and have over 600 hours of playtime in it. I did have a little bit of a request but feel free to ignore! Could you rate all of the potential spouses based on your personal interpretations?

Hiii!! Yes yes yes thank you for this ask- I planned to do quick portraits anyways! <3 <3

But let's start!!

[PLEASE DO NOT REPOST, reblogs welcome! >:3c)

Harvey: 10/10

Handsome yes yes

Very sweet and loyal like bro LETS GO that's all I need

Doctor?? AKA he fixes up love interest who regularly gets into trouble? Endless possibilities BRO this is my favorite trope to write/draw about

HOWEVER HARVEY DOESN'T ACCEPT ANY INSURANCE HE JUST CHARGES OUR ASSES bro I'm trying to have a tender moment of almost dying and him worrying and then BOOM hands me my bill like "see you at home honey ily"

Overall he would treat us right yes

Animals LOVE his ass but he's awkward with them LOL

He's often a tired man due the clinic but he'll pull through to do things with the farmer when they're dating (like outings)

In the beginning when farmer is frequently getting hurt in the mines and being brought in hurt, he buys them a walkie-talkie. He's said multiple times that he doesn't recommend going in those dangerous places but learns that farmer's determined to keep going so he'll do what he can to make sure they can relay when they need help

He'll chime in on the walkie when he sees farmer going towards the mines and has them check things off a mental list (hi, this is Harvery- going to the mines? Do you have your weapon? How about food? You have your first-aid kit on you too right?)

This man will be TENSE the whole day when he knows farmer is in the mines. He'll only ease up once he knows they're not in there anymore

Disclaimer: from here on most of what I write will be 100% from my head because I haven't married anyone else yet LMFAO

Sam: 10/10

I interpret him as the golden retriever type- very hyper and friendly

That just makes him 1000% more loveable

HE'D TREAT US RIGHT

Very good with kids cause of Vincent which is like YES

A little blunt sometimes but that's wassup

Doesn't eat the best (AKA I give him two pizzas every week. Hmm. So maybe that means I'M the problem lol)

Also doesn't really know a lot of cooking, but when he moves in farmer finds new-looking cookbooks tucked away in his spaces

I feel like he'd be the type to have a switch in attitude- he's v friendly UNTIL he has reason to distrust/not like someone and then he'll flip from bright to cold (especially if the person has bad intentions about somebody he cares about)

Doesn't realize farmer and him are dating he just thinks they’re hanging out a lot and just kissing as really good friends

When he does realize they’re dating he gets all flustered and red

Would let you win at Mario-Kart

Despite his goofiness, he knows how to be a gentleman. He's always keeping an eye on farmer and making sure they're okay. If they're out together, the moment the sun goes down his jacket is on farmer's shoulders. When it's raining and he wakes up late and sees that farmer has gone out of the house for the day, he'll get up quick and run around with an umbrella and a thermos of hot coffee until he finds farmer. He'll follow farmer around with the umbrella covering mostly farmer, so he gets pretty drenched.

Very vocal about his love

Shane: 10/10

Ah the chicken man himself

ALSO GREAT WITH KIDS but in a different light- he's way more protective about them whereas Sam is more the laid-back and playful parent-figure (he throws his children into the air)

Recovering from his alcoholism and the habits that came with it (messiness and cluttery) but he's trying his best aww

Will rub his stubble on your face when he comes in for a hug ouchie

Even though he is not a dad- he just comes with dad stuff (dad outfits, dad jokes, EVERYTHING)

His chickens are protective of him so you must prove yourself worthy

(In my headcanons, Joja is kinda twisted) Will start to distance himself from Joja after farmer tells him of how they're trying to hurt the Junimos. He may eventually quit to work elsewhere, even though he doesn’t really know what Junimos are but something about farmer telling him about them seems sincere

He's very cuddly after getting to know him and dating. His love language happens to be physical touch and every touch makes him fall harder

This also means he gets a little sad when it's summer and too hot to cuddle that farmer turns around in their sleep. He gets pouty in the morning after until he gets a kiss LMAO

He'll frequently realize how messy he leaves his spaces, and will clean up. He tries to upkeep the cleanliness and manages it for a few days before it starts to get messy again. Sometimes it lasts a while, but sometimes it just slips his mind due to bad habits

Farmer pops into mind every time he has an urge to drink, and he'll shake it off and go do something else for them. He's DETERMINED to be the best person he can be for farmer

Alex: 10/10

A little rough at first lol- his attitude is very icky in the beginning BUT he's cute 

Once you get through that exterior he practically does a 180- HE'S SO SWEET AND CARING and no longer uhhh icky

He would tackle things for you (can he help farmer out of the mines when they pass out in the game? If he does I'd like to think he just picks them up and BOOKS it for the exit knocking anything in his path down LMFAO)

Becomes pouty when he gets a little jealous

Again he's very sweet- he kisses Evelyn and George on the cheeks every morning before he leaves the house, he often thinks about his late mom and visits her grave with flowers from Pierre's and has a small picnic there

I feel he would be prone to dreams about his mom, waking up in a cold sweat and tears. After the 8-heart event he gets up and does something sweet like making a whole breakfast for Evelyn & George or giving Dusty some quality time with walks, playing, and a good treat

Will be extremely protective over farmer. Farmer gives him a heart attack every time they go to the mines or the skull cavern or even in the sewer like baby what are you doing WHY ARE YOU GOING INTO THE MANHOLE

The caves he can't follow farmer with because he knows he isn't trained to fight monsters like farmer is and might hold them back instead, but he'll wait outside or tell Harvey that farmer's in the mines instead

Doesn't come out with it but he needs a lot of reassurance due to abandonment issues. He gets a little clingy and touchy but a little shy. (reaching for farmer’s hand/just pinching onto a part of the farmer’s clothes and holding on)

Sebastian: 10/10

This one might be rough cause I've never really felt much for him IM SORRY

Once farmer asks him out he's very unsure how to proceed. He'll call them things like dude and bro *with love*

It's literally like pulling teeth for him to call farmer honey just cause he's never been the affectionate type till now hehehe he'll try to say it and then drop to his knees like OTL and curl up (He'll get it eventually tho- this is just like the first few months LMFAO)

He has frogs right? He'll show you his frogs 

Your void chickens will love this emo boy they just vibe y'know?

He shows his love through acts of service and gifts, finding out the things you love and bringing them to you

As awkward as he is, his true intentions are very evident when he starts to really try to reconnect with Robin and asking her for advice on most anything he hasn't much a clue about.

He wants to be able to properly feel like part of his family, because farmer tells him that he deserves to feel loved there too. He’ll have a difficult heart-to-heart with Robin, Demetrius, and Maru and over time the family dynamic starts to heal. Sebastian is eternally grateful for farmer and tells them about the relationship and they’re all overjoyed to have farmer as part of the family too

He WILL stop smoking if farmer ever raises concern for his well-being

He starts to come out of his shell more (in general) as he and farmer progress their relationship. He tries his best to be a great partner, and everyone can sense that his demeanor is a little bit brighter than before. He starts to not be as shy about PDA too

He has many hoodies for farmer to steal HOWEVER they're all the exact same pair HAHAHA

Elliott: 10/10

I may also struggle with Elliott for similar reasons

Handsome right off the bat bro

But you'll never be able to be the one with the great hair in the relationship cause man he dominates in that

I see him as a gentle lover- very old-school romantic

He writes farmer love poems and songs often HE WILL SERENADE FARMER EVEN THOUGH HE'S ALREADY MOVED IN

Has pictures of farmer EVERYWHERE like his desk, in his books and notebooks, and has one of those accordion picture holders in his wallet of farmer and himself (and their child(ren) when time comes) He shows them off to the other villagers at the Saloon even tho they literally know farmer LMAOO

Has a very comforting vibe to him- he knows how to coddle farmer after they take a visit to the clinic

He'd let farmer use his favorite pen, trusting that it would return to him

Romantic gestures are EVERYWHERE. Songs, poems, so many pretty flowers in farmer's hair. 

I think he'd be the best cook out of everyone. Farmer wants to go out on a fancy date out of the village?? S'NOT GOOD ENOUGH- Elliott will change the whole decor of the kitchen and spend hours cooking and preparing for farmer to come home and then he plays all the roles (waiter, bus person, lover, etc) through the entire meal. But if farmer really actually wants to go out he'll go with it

Bachelorettes will be done in part 2 soon!
