I’m 100% willing to go to bat for the idea that you can have density or individualist societal orientation, but not both.

and this isn’t in a “I’m a special individual American and I need a personal house and car to show how special and individual I am” way. It’s almost the opposite, most people are hyper individual-oriented in this country and makes them shitty neighbors who stomp too much and play loud music at night on weekdays.

Tokyo density is totally livable, but only as part of a package with Japanese-style “self-repression” and norms around leaving each other alone and not making a mark on public society. That sounds really negative, but idk how else to phrase the practice of suppressing one’s own impulses and desires for the public good. I don’t mean to judge, just describe.

so yeah, I’d tolerate living in Tokyo (though it’d be bad for my neurosis), but I’d never live in a Tokyo style neighborhood filled with Americans. Sadly, I can’t afford to live in many neighborhoods in America that are actually tolerably dispersed.

I really wish I had been able to travel internationally and get a better sense of what the options even are on the ground, because just traveling around the US, being in eg. Seattle makes regional politics make sense much more sense.

Doesn’t Japan have like, neighbor grannies who judge you for not sorting your trash correctly into 20 categories? And hyper aggressive cops posted at street corners who actually give a shit about bike theft? Do they do anything about their dangerous/obnoxious mentally ill people and addicts?

Because like, it’s a holistic thing, you know? It’s the curriculum and classroom management in the schools, the traffic and transit systems and cops on those, the work culture at major employers, the government hiring practices, the parks and the apartment buildings and management practices of those, the medical system, the border control and organized crime, pensions and other causes of small but regular checks or other material support arriving for noticeable percentages of the population without working, the court system for petty disputes, the drug culture and party scene…

Ok we're getting back on track today lol. I got some community lots in my "forever save" I want to work on which are the furniture store and the architecture firm I've mentioned before.

I need to finish the floorplan for the the offices above the furniture store and then we can hop into detailing the exteriors of both builds!

I just came back from a day round-trip road trip with a friend sooo... take my headcanons about going to Zuzu City with the ✨️businessmen✨️ for a day trip!

[DISCLAIMER: These are romantic leaning headcanons for the two rival businessmen in Pelican Town. As with all my headcanons, they're based off my modded version of the game which in includes Stardew Expanded and the Marry Morris mod. These also being under the pretenses that Caroline eventually leaves Pierre (thus making him a bachelor again) because she deserves better... With that being said, please enjoy!]

🌃 Morris:

● He will make sure you know you won't need to pay for anything

○ He'll even let you ride in his purple panther

● No food or drinks inside though, that car is his baby, dude

○ The trip will consist of casual chit chat and him venting about Joja Mart and his employees and even give you the juicy gossip of what some of the customers are up to

● "Oh! Dear, you'll never guess who stopped in to buy some makeup Pierre doesn't carry for her daughter..." (He'll give you a hint, it wasn't Pam or Robin...)

○ He'll ramble on and on about his days in the city when he was still in college, just starting off at Joja Mart, or when he lived there (that is, if you two were married and he was living with you on the farm at this point)

● He will tell you all his favorite places in the city, most of the restaurants and shops are rather upper-middle or high class though

○ Once in the city he'll make sure you're always at his side and help to ease any anxiety with his confidence in having lived in the city for a while

● "Ah yes, this is the café I used to frequent when I was still merely a grunt for Joja Mart. Heh, did you know they sell spiked drinks here after 6?" He'll lean in and pull his glasses down as he asks this, giving you his sly smile that only a fat cat like him could pull off

○ He'll take you through the shopping centers and insist you pick something you like. Oh you want that shirt? He'll make sure to buy you pants that'll go well with it. And while he's at it, why not get a tie or some other accessories to make it complete? And don't forget the shoes as well! Oh, that's made from the finest silk? Perfect, nothing less for his dearest companion.

• At the end of the day in this city he'll ask what you're feeling like food-wise

○ No matter what you say, he'll have the perfect place

● "No need for worrying about the price" He'll assure you as you're looking over the menu

○ And when the night starts closing in? He'll take you on a walk in the most gorgeous part of the city

● Before you leave he may even rizz you up a little by throwing some cunning lines your way

○ "You know it's funny, in all my years of living here I'd never thought I'd have someone so gorgeous to share it with." Or whatever else he may have the opportunity to say

● While getting back into his car, he'll open your door for you. Both because he's a gentleman but also because he doesn't trust anyone to open and close the doors of his fancy car

○ He'll make sure your comfortable, have everything you want or need, and drive you both back to your farm

● "This was the best day I've had in a while, thank you (Y/N)." He'll say after arriving back at your place, leaning in to leave a soft kiss upon your lips.

🌇 Pierre:

● This man leaves the trust-box (as I call it) for any passive shoppers and GETS GOING

○ "You got everything you need? Phone, keys, wallet?" He'll go down the checklist with you like he's taking you on a vacation for a week or something.

● He has every possibility budgeted for

○ Once the tickets are paid for, you two will hop on the bus to ✨️Zuzu City✨️

● On the bus ride there, you two will talk a little, he'll discuss his plans for his store, sales, etc- just make small talk with you

○ Eventually you two will reach the city and from there it's go time

● "So I was thinking we could start the day off strong with coffee from this café I read about in the paper a few weeks ago. Then we should be able to take a cab to the museum and then-" He'll go on and on about the plans he made to a T.

○ You'll only manage to actually do like... three of the 6 or 7 things he'd planned. But the important things were tackled!

● He'd insist on avoiding shopping and rather go more for sight seeing and memorable experiences instead

○ He'll take you to a café first, as promised (that poor man desperately needs his coffee), then the museum, and then after that he'll take you on a walk through the park

● Between the museum and the park, time will pass rather quickly for you two

○ Without a doubt, he'll always at one point or another manage to either wrap his arm around your shoulders or (depending on your height) use your shoulder as an arm rest

● As your walk in the park turns more into just sitting and talking in the park, his eyes are ever-tired yet surprisingly attentive as he listens to your every word

○ He'll look down sadly as the conversation comes to a lull. "Hey, (Y/N)... I know I haven't gotten the chance to say so yet but... I just wanted to say thank you for helping me through my divorce with Caroline."

• This would lead to a more intimate moment between the two of you before you two realize how hungry you are

○ He'll suggest convenience food from a fast food place or pizza. But if he knows you also enjoy seafood he'll try to not-so-subtly suggest a few different restaurants in the area

● "I've heard great things about this place. ... Hm? No, I'm sure it'll be fine. For you, I don't mind paying extra for a nice meal. You have to treat yourself once in a while, right?" He'll assure you with a soft smile.

○ At dinner, you'll order as if you were paying for yourself, since he usually insists on separate checks due to financial reasons, not to mention he's too proud to ever let you pay for him... even if you are more financially stable than he is

● But when he gets up and asks if you're ready to leave when you've finished your meals and had a delightful time together, you can't help but ask "what about the checks???"

○ ...That scumbag secretly paid for the both of you when you weren't around. (And yes, he also left a nice tip for the waitstaff)

● He'll hold your hand as he guides you back to the busstop

○ "So, how did you like our day together?" He'll glance at you with cunning eyes and give your hand a gentle, loving squeeze

● The bus ride home ends with your head on his shoulder as you drift off to sleep on the way back to Pelican Town

○ This man will bring that day up for years to come, always reminiscing on it like it was one of the best days of his life
