#I could be playing stardew

[constantvigilante]

Ellen Greene has her own house in Maywood, that she goes back to after the funeral. Her own house, and she's been taking care of the Starrs! For all Douglas' scorn, she had more than him - at least in possessions, since he didn't own his house and only left some books to pack up. So much for a fat old thing of no importance, huh? She must have had friends back in town as well.

I don't hate Douglas, or Ellen, but he's got a good helping of LMM scorn for those he considers lesser - somewhat understandable considering how his life was. Wasting away in the countryside with only one true mourner at his funeral. Even if you only had a kernel of snob in you, being in his position, having to choose no society for your health, having little to give your daughter but your heart and mind. I can see how you'd prioritize those things more and more, and look down on those who can't connect in that way or see the point. Especially if you're reliant on them to take care of you.

He's a loving father, however you might feel about his choices and priorities. And ultimately I like that LMM shows him as an imperfect person, a proud man, a snob, and unkind in his sickness. Of course Emily's going to idealize him, he was about the only person she knew and the only one who understood her. But he does feel like a real person still in all his flaws, pride and arguable mistakes.

Pac: What is this, man?!

The relationship of Sims Hideduo is too strong for even Pac to sabotage, despite his best efforts 😅

I am motivated by one thing and one thing only in video games and that is romance. If I cannot woo the most (in any combination of the following) uptight, mysterious, theatrical, and/or tragic fictional love interest in the game, then what is the point of me playing? If I cannot shower them with affection and love and give them all the soft things they deserve, then what is the point???

sebastian x new farmer!reader | sfw | seb and reader meet for the first time | alcohol mention (reader orders a beer), smoking (seb has a cig), gender neutral, no other warnings unless you consider this was written on my phone as one | i miss my edgelord husband and this demanded to be written asap so here we are. i will likely expand on this bc im thinking about seb and ****** **** and i gotta get from point a to b somehow (aka the warnings will come later)

when you moved to pelican town, you anticipated the dirt and dust. the absence of city noise, the waves crashing along the shoreline in the distance, the clean air despite the one corporation in town, even the eerie moans that echo in the forest. the ache in your muscles after working the land became expected, almost satisfying; you even started to enjoy fishing.

what you didn’t expect, though, was to meet a man like sebastian.

at first, you weren’t sure he even existed. robin and demetrius mentioned having a son, though you’d only met maru, and lewis was adamant you hadn’t met everyone. the ever-elusive sebastian became a whisper on the wind, a folktale the harder you looked.

until one evening you decide to visit the saloon. you’ve been here long enough, and gus invites you to stop by every time he sees you. what harm could it be? a drink at the local saloon would be a nice way to settle more into the community.

by the time you get there, it’s packed. pam is at the bar, her eyes heavy and cheeks flushed like grenadine. shane is in one corner, willy in another. clint watches emily dance on her own to the music coming from the juke box; robin and demetrius attempt to work as one, and it’s almost endearing to watch them stumble over each other.

gus greets you like any other customer, an excited glint in his eyes at the fact you’ve finally decided to come in. you order, and once you have the cold glass in your hands, you continue to take in the bar.

it’s cozy and small-town, with rustic decor and natural accents. there’s a short hallway leading to another room on the far end of the space, and the glow of lights catches your attention. as you walk through the hallway, you realize the light is coming from arcade games, and this area is a game room. a pool table, soda machine, a small tv, and a couple chairs and tables litter the space.

looming over the pool table is someone you haven’t seen before. raven hair, almost a deep purple in the lighting, hangs over an angular face. black on black, from head to toe; slender hands donning multiple rings guide a pool stick, nonchalant focus in his dark eyes. the blinking arcade lights reflect off of black metal jewelry in his ears and on his nose, and a cigarette is pressed between his lips. he makes his shot with a swift motion of his arms and straightens up, pulling a hit off of his cigarette, smoke swirling around him and along his mouth.

as he straightens up, his eyes don’t fall on the pool table. he doesn’t watch the path of his turn, or how the ball glides along the felt material into the intended pocket. they find you instead, trailing up from your thighs to your hips to your chest and finally, your eyes.

he maintains contact as he pulls at the near-dead cigarette. his gaze is hard to read, but it’s intentional, observant, with flickers of turbulence, chaos. oceans at midnight working to learn you without a word.

“hey farmer!” sam hops up from one of the dated armchairs, a bright grin on his face and pool stick in hand. “didn’t expect to see you here. you’ve met sebastian, right?”

“no,” you shake your head and smile, a small but warm notion. you work hard to ignore the flutters in your stomach from nerves, or the heat prickling your cheeks. “I don’t believe we have.”

learning abt friendship decay and "not reaching out to your friends for months at a time unprompted is not neurotypical behaviour" has me feeling a certain way

I wonder if he still recognizes me…

Ghostknife Moments Masterlist!

hiii so i relistened to pd for the second time cause this hiatus has been killing me (jrwi crew take your time, i'm just weak.) so i created a little doc for all the ghostknife moments i encountered! it was just for me and my friends but i wanted to post it too because sometimes even i forget they were really that gay (and also it's pride month)! here's the link to the doc! but i'm also gonna post screenshots of it as well for easier access.

some tips for reading cause it was made for me to understand and not an audience: if there's a quote with no indication of who's talking, it's either will or vyncent (also let me know if i missed moments or if i can make it easier to read!!!)

FINAL NOTES! this was made FOR FUN!!! it may be missing moments and also have moments that can be read as platonic. i just wanted to show my non-jrwi friend my hyperfixation PEACE AND LOVE

[almalex24]

id be like "sorry for not posting (excuse) happened" but the excuse this time is that the new stardew valley update came out and almost every single moment of free time ive had is used to play it. my bad at the same time my brain decided that its been long enough and now lea is occupying almost every thought i have (expect more art here soon......) and im not allowing myself to open crosscode until i finish my new farm so i thought why not just combine the two... it was fun designing her! :]

Stardew Valley 1.6 will be released sometime today. ConcernedApe announced that he wants to be awake for the release and I live in Europe, so it will happen this evening/night for me. My initial plan was to be productive until the update dropped but instead, I check his social media and Steam every few minutes and get nothing done.
