Stardew and the halfas

When Tucker told him that he needed to relax and recommended a game about being a farmer, Danny frowned and pushed him away. How could it help him to know how long tomatoes took to grow?

However, after a restless night, where his parents had shot him (curiously by accident), the halfa noticed the downloaded game on his computer and sighed. It must have been Tucker, but he had nothing to lose by trying.

He never thought that he would become addicted to said game, or that he would want to marry Sebastian (something about him was just- well, attractive, even halfas weren't immune to falling in love). The problem was that his schedule was strange and Sebastian didn't like any of his gifts!

He started to get desperate and visit forums of the game, found someone who had the same problem with Elliot, and somehow they started talking. Jason seemed pretty frustrated, and they bonded out of mutual frustration. Neither of them was willing to consult guidebooks out of simple pride, but they appreciated the recommendations.

So they bonded over Discord calls, trying each other's strategies, and quickly became friends. To the point that they did a farm in multiplayer. They had spent so much time in the game that they both almost forgot their problems in the real world.

After Danny didn't go online for a while, Jason decided to invite him to Gotham. The boy took a few hours to respond but in the end he accepted.

Tim couldn't believe it when he passed a coffee shop and saw Jason laughing with a guy (very suspicious, in a sweater, and what the hell... were those fangs?), they were both very close to each other pointing at something on their phones and laughing .

Stardew Valley Guides ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

[salt-n-salt]

not really a farmer request .. but i need to see ur shane wearinf those silly shirts (my favorites include the "how to pick up chicks" shirt with the stick figures and things of the like)

ty for the silly request!! i like to think he’d get that shirt not bc it’s silly but bc he’s like no that actually is how u pick them up. and every time u compliment the shirt he describes how u pick them up in real life. how hot is that r u drooling too

[ghost-t-cryptids]

Been an Elliott romancer for a while....but Shane has my captured my Farmer's heart again so...have this.

I imagine they've both had one too many but are enjoying each others company the same as any day.

valgrace playing video games

jason is a 100% completionist that has to do everything and make sure everyone is happy. he’ll have guides pulled up so he can do everything. he only feels complete if he does everything the game has to offer

leo is ‘no thoughts, only vibes’ and rushes into fights before he’s ready and wings everything. he has strangely good luck when he does this. he’ll play a game for a week straight then drop it and never play it again

also they like to “play together”. by that i mean they play separate games but they’re next to each other while doing so and occasionally talk about what they’re doing to each other

[artbycats]

I am obsessed with drawing sdv characters

[productofaritual]

"Lar has never played Stardew despite being gay and neurodivergent" bit is over. I've put about two hours into this game and plan to make that more

With that said, I also went into it COMPLETELY BLIND

WHICH WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA

I understand. Nothing. Why can't I find the remaining 6 people I need to greet. Where are they. How do you get a Sunfish. I keep catching sardines. Caroline needs a SUNFISH BY TOMORROW HOW DO I GET ONE. Why does the scarecrow need a piece coal. Where do I get coal. Why does time run so goddamn fast. Why do I have to take three hours to walk everywhere. How do you befriend the NPCs they just keep repeating one liners anytime I talk to them. What is going ON???

Commission for the lovely @spineless-loser of their farmer Asia!! This was my first time doing a line-art commission and it was really fun planning out the textures! Thank you so much for commissionning me!!!

If you’re interested in a commission, please check out my details here! ✨

[shabbyshoebox]

I used the spreadsheet in the back of the 1.6 Official Guidebook to identify the most loved non-universal loves. The most loved nonuniversal gift is Diamond, followed by a tie of Amethyst, Emerald, Iridium Bar, and Pink Cake

EXACTLY HALF OF ALL GIFTABLE NPCs ARE ON THIS TABLE (17/34).

I started a similar document when I was doing the Qi's Kindness quest (I had 2.5 days to finish it when I accepted it, whoops) but I wasn't satisfied with it and wanted something more thorough.

This does NOT include Alex, Demetrius, Elliott, George, Kent, Lewis, Linus, Pam, Pierre, Robin, Sam, Sandy, Sebastian, Shane, Wizard, Harvey, Leo (17/34).

Very proud of this!!!!

[barbieb0y]

haha twirls hair ... would anyone be interested if i opened writing commissions? i'd set different prices for locals (malaysians lol) and non-locals bc even i get tired of getting shit for pricier than i should just bc inflation is a thing

i'll think of more details if people show interest but for now i can say i'll write original stuff and fanfiction. no smut or omegaverse. canon x readers and canon x canon both welcome

edit: completely forgor. actually showing my works

Things I’ve learned about Stardew Valley from discussing my game with my sister:

You should have livestock by the end of the first year.

It should not take you until 2pm to water all your crops. That is too many crops with just a watering can.

If all you do is farm you make a lot of money really fast and also no friends.

[eemamminy-art]

think you'd ever consider making custom portraits for characters in SDV? no pressure obvs, but i think it'd be very fun to see them all in game in ur style

Yes I have!!!! 👀 I very much want to do this!!!!!

A couple of things have held me up on it:

it will take a long time

I feel like it should be pixel art but I know in my heart it will look better if I just draw it in my normal style but I feel conflicted on that

I am a HUGE fan of the seasonal outfits mod by poltergeister and in their bio they said anyone can use assets they made in their own mods so long as it's free and credited, so... 👀 I would want to make ALLLLLLLL the different seasonal outfits too and therefore make 4x as much work for myself

on the last note, I have different headcanons for some characters (like for example, Leo and Haley having curly hair or Abigail being chubby) so I worry I'd have to edit the sprites too... probably 😫

I don't know how to do it and am a little scared although I have made mods for games like the sims, skyrim, and fallout new vegas before with guides, and figured out how to make my own mods in arcanum without any guides at all when I was 14 SO... I'M SURE I CAN DO IT.... BUT... 🧍

All that to say!! It probably will happen eventually!!! But I am nervous to take the first step! 😭😭😭

[anxious-pisces]

it's more of a reminder for myself, but anyway... flower dance

easiest: Shane (talk and give him pizza on 19th, 20th, 21th, 22th)

easy: Harvey, Sam, Leah (loved gifts sold at the saloon) talk everyday since day 1 and give loved gifts until 4 hearts (don't know for how long, never tried, too lazy to calculate)

also kinda easy: Haley (talk everyday give all the daffodils esp on a birthday)

easy, but need everyday work (parsnip seduction): Alex, Sebastian, Emily, Maru, Penny

need to go to the mines, so it's a bother: Abigail parsnip won't work, rain

pray to Yoba for good luck: Elliott

parsnip seduction

4 hearts worth 1000 friendship points

focus on one person

talk with the target every single day (except during special animation, like when Seb is smoking) 24 days 20 pts each = 480 pts

plant 15 parsnips on day 1, get the recipe for basic fertilizer after the first harvest. then plant no less than 20 parsnips with it. you should get at least 3 gold quality parsnips

give your target two gifts every week. in total, you must give 8 gifts: 5 normal quality and 3 gold quality parsnips (5 normal 45 pts each; 3 gold 56 pts each. this is 393 pts. plus 10 pts every sunday for gifting 2 gifts last week, so it's an additional 30 pts)

complete the introduction quest 100 pts

so you get a total of 1003 points, which is enough for a dance. but each step is necessary cos it's the bare minimum

notes

if you didn't know, every day you don't talk to a villager will result in the loss of 2 friendship points

Maru loves cauliflower, so it would be a better gift than gold parsnips

Abigail stays at home during rainy days, and if it's on wednesday, you'll have to go to the mines (ugh) to get amethysts, and she dislikes all vegetables

Elliott... dunno where to start. it's pure luck, cos you can't talk to him when it's raining. I love fishing and I spend all my first week by the ocean. usually I reach lvl 3 in fishing on the third day of spring and buy crab pots on spring 4th. I usually have at least 9 crab pots by the seventh of spring and sometimes that's enough to catch lobsters in time. a lot of praying. it really helps to speak only to him in order to get a bulletin request.

Sebastian, loml, I get at least 8 good quality flounders in the first week, so no parsnip nessesary (but I do spend all my time by the ocean except when I run to talk to him). also if you tell him that you like reading comics in one of his dialogues you'll gain an additional 30 pts.

I guess you should still talk to Haley everyday and give her all the daffodils, since her loved gifts are kinda hard to get at the beginning but birthday helps like a lot

Haley, Abigail and Sam dislike parsnips. (and it will definitely rain, so Elliott will stay at home. this means parsnips will be good for everyone, except those four)

for me, it's easier to complete the introduction quest at the egg festival (talk to Pierre later) and before that I only met the bachelor(ette) for the bulletin requests also check saloon everyday for dish of the day and a travelling cart on friday and sunday

I'm sure there are easier ways to get it done, but this is what fits my gaming style (fishing, talking and no mining). treasure chests also provide a lot of useful items that make everything way easier

also english isn't my first language, I just wanted to practice. sorry for the mistakes
