I totally didn't mean to draw this 2 years ago and didn't get around to drawing it, nope, that totally didn't happen-

anYWHO!! Here's a drawing inspired by YouSpoonyBard1's fic "A Radish and a Geode... Of peace?" It's really cute and definitely worth a read!

Fandom / Genre: Stardew Valley / Angst with Ambiguous/Open/Hopeful Ending

Pairing: Maru & Sebastian

Prompt: Requested by @incendiarybomb :

Prompt list 19, #2 and #12 || 2) "I hate you." and 12) “Take my sweater, you’re freezing.” with Maru and Sebastian because these two deserve some sibling bonding time ;-;

Warnings: Hypothermia, Mildly toxic family relationships/Implied strained relationships, Near-death experience, lmk if I need to add more!

Note: I am. So ridiculously sorry for how long this took to get to. It also took a major turn from what I was expecting - but ultimately I'm satisfied and I hope you enjoy! I will say though, I definitely gotta spend more time with these two characters. Also. I live in a place that never snows, so this is definitely not accurate.

Summary: An unexpected blizzard leaves everyone in Pelican Town snowed in, and for Maru and Sebastian things take a turn for the worse.

There was a blizzard in Pelican Town.

Normally, this wouldn’t mean a thing. Everyone within this little town could handle a blizzard, freak weather phenomenons were nothing new. Sometimes it was a regular Tuesday, and everyone just went about their day. Sometimes a blizzard meant everyone gathering in the town square and just enjoying the frigid weather and bountiful snow.

This blizzard was decidedly not normal.

For starters, it was mid-spring.

And secondly…

“Dammit farmer…” Sebastian muttered, hanging up the phone and slumping over the shop counter. Of course the farmer somehow caused a blizzard by experimenting with magic alongside the creepy wizard. 

Wasn’t the guy supposed to keep them in check when it came to magic?

It was a Friday, and Sebastian had been planning on going to the saloon like usual, but the farmer had asked to stop by after closing for some “emergency materials” for a “top-secret” project. Judging by the patterns bought, Sebastian had money on it being something to embarrass Lewis.

Since his mom was working on the farm, and Demetrius had headed to the saloon anyway without her, and Maru had spent all day helping Harvey with appointments - and apparently scraping the farmer off the floor after they had over exhausted themself - his mom had asked if he would run the store for the day.

And now he was snowed in with Maru of all people indefinitely.

He huffed, pushing himself off the counter. There was no point in staying at the counter if no one was going to show up, the farmer had confirmed his mom was safe and a quick phone call to the saloon revealed they were all snowed in too, but all safe. He scribbled a note for Maru - because as much as he may not like Demetrius, Maru very much did, and she’d likely want to know both he and their mom were safe - and slipped it under her door before retreating to his room.

It was dark and even through his hoodie he shivered. The heating had kicked the bucket about an hour into the storm. He beelined for his closet and hauled the small, spare heater they kept in the house - or rather, one of two, this one designated to his closet because the other apparently took up too much space in the shed to put it with the other one.

Shoving it near his bed, Sebastian grabbed his gameboy and climbed under his covers to pass the storm more quickly.

---

A knock on his door stirred Sebastian from his near-sleep state, and he blinked at the bright light emitting from the gameboy just a few inches from his face. Groaning, he listened, but after a minute there was another more insistent knock.

It was still dark in his room, the window still blocked out by at least a few feet of snow. It couldn’t be his mom or Demetrius.

Sighing, he sat up. “Come in.”

Maru opened the door, holding a lantern in front of her. Sebastian blinked, taking in how small she looked, swallowed by a heavy blanket she had bundled around herself.

“Yeah…?”

“Um,” Maru started, tightening the blanket in one hand and trying to adjust her glasses at the same time. “The heater upstairs isn’t working. I was wondering…”

Sebastian raised an eyebrow at her when she trailed off and didn’t finish, just looking at his heater. He wasn’t going to give it to her and freeze himself down here.

After seeming to realize he wasn’t going to answer, she swallowed and looked back at him. “I was wondering if I could stay down here with you and the one that works?”

“Oh,” Sebastian slumped slightly, before shrugging. He didn’t think she’d want to stay down here with him. “Sure, I guess.”

She brightened, shuffling further into his room and settling on the floor by his bed, close enough to get some heat from the heater without pressing directly against it. Sebastian watched her hunker down into her blanket, making herself as small as possible to wrap it more securely around as much of herself as she could. On her lap she left enough room for a book, and left the lantern close enough for her to see the text somewhat okay.

Maru didn’t say anything else, so Sebastian resettled under his own blankets to resume his game.

---

The silence didn’t last as long as Sebastian would have liked.

About half an hour after invading his room, he could feel Maru staring at him. When ignoring her didn’t make her stop, he finally looked up with a huff. “What?” he finally snapped out.

She seemed rather tense, like she was trying not to move too much. “Nothing, just - having the heater that close to your bed is a safety hazard.”

“So? I’m cold, it’s keeping me warm.”

“I know, but if it sets your blankets on fire-”

Sebastian sighed loudly, and moved the heater away from his bed. “I hate you,” he said as he moved it a few inches, no real heart in the words. “Better?” he asked when it was finally in a better place.

Maru wasn’t looking at him anymore, but her blanket bundle shrugged, and she rehid herself under the massive thing.

Sebastian rolled his eyes and got back to the game.

A few minutes later, there was a quiet murmur of words that Sebastian just barely heard.

“I just want you to be safe.”

Sebastian grimaced at how small her voice sounded, and the sniffle that followed only made him flinch a little more. Sure, he made his distaste for her pretty common knowledge, but that didn’t mean he liked causing her to cry. But what would she even be crying about-

Oh.

But she didn’t really believe him, did she? Surely not.

But also…

He supposed he never really gave her any idea otherwise.

Maru didn’t say anything else.

Sebastian didn’t dare open his mouth again lest he just dig himself a deeper hole.

Eventually, they both fell asleep.

---

The thing about the heaters they owned was, they were small. And old. And meant to work alongside a burning fire - or rather, run when they couldn’t safely burn a fire while they slept. It wasn’t meant to run for an entire night. They’d learned that ages ago, when they had run them an entire night and woke up to them dead and needing some internal repairs.

Sebastian woke up cold, and when he opened his eyes, his room was somehow even darker. Squinting, he fumbled around for his gameboy just so he could illuminate a bit of his room, and cast it around.

He cursed under his breath at the sight of the dead heater, the supplies to get it working again in the shed that they definitely couldn’t get out to at this moment. It wasn’t smoking, so Sebastian figured it was relatively fine - it wasn’t broken completely, it didn’t decide to combust.

He turned his light towards where he last knew Maru to be, and wasn’t too surprised to still see her bundled under her blanket. But what he was surprised to see was her awake and shivering. She looked up towards him when he cast the low light onto her, and her glasses were off her face. She blinked slowly at him, breathing slowly, and he could see her breath - he hadn’t realized it was quite that cold, hadn’t processed seeing his own breath.

“Maru?” he asked, sitting up straighter. She just blinked at him again, her brow furrowing slightly but not by much. A harsh shudder ran through her, but she didn’t pull the blanket tighter around her. “Maru, are you alright?”

“I…” she said slowly and quietly, “I don’t…” she trailed off, and he watched her try to speak, but the words were jumbled and too quiet for him to hear over the sudden rushing in his own ears.

He scrambled out from under his own blankets to the floor in front of her, hesitating only a moment before he pressed his hands lightly to her cheeks, then her neck, feeling for her pulse, her own voice filling his memories from ages ago when she was first learning about medical science and preparing to apply to be Harvey’s assistant.

He ignored how cold her skin was to the touch, how she barely tried struggling away from his own frigid fingers - or rather, she tried, but all she managed to do was barely shuffle herself away, slumping against his bed more than anything.

Shivering. Difficulty speaking. Slow breath. Weak pulse…

He cursed, louder this time. He racked his brain, looking around his room - but his room probably wouldn’t help at all. Less chance for cold to creep in compared to upstairs, where the wood was a good defense against the cold but had more crevices where it could slip in compared to his basement guarded by being underground. But the cold had already seeped in here, and once it was in it never left.

They wouldn’t be able to light a fire, but maybe he could get her warm again faster upstairs?

But wasn’t moving someone also dangerous?

Maru’s head fell forward suddenly, and Sebastian jolted, catching her. She was so cold.

He shook her, gently. “Maru, come on. You gotta stay awake. You know better.” She blinked her eyes open as he pushed her back a little, and after a beat she nodded ever so slightly, sighing with a harsh tremor. “Hold on, okay? Just. Here, take my sweater for now, okay? You’re freezing.” He shimmied out of his sweater, and with minor difficulty slipped it over her head.

“Okay,” he mumbled, barely feeling the cold sting his now exposed arms. “Okay. This is fine, just… next step.” He swallowed thickly, just staring at Maru shiver and trying to remember how she described helping someone experiencing hypothermia.

He growled in annoyance at himself, as he seemingly could think of everything other than what he actually needed to remember, and he reached up to pull at his hair just to see if that would get his brain working.

She stared right back at him, her face pulling into what he thought to be her mildly frustrated scrunchy face, but it wasn’t as expressive as that, her face was probably so cold she could barely feel her muscles struggling to move. She was trying to say something, and it took Sebastian a good 30 seconds to understand what she was trying to mumble.

“fl…at.. la…y..ured…”

He blinked at the slow, slurred words, but after a moment it clicked and he jolted up off the ground. “Flat- you need to lie flat, okay. And layers. Right.” He looked around his room and cringed, again wondering if it was best to stay down here.

But she needed to lay flat, he needed to lie her down flat, and the memory of her stressing “Gently. Handle gently,” rang in his ears. Carrying her upstairs would be anything but gentle.

Would it even be warmer up there?

He shook his head. He should get her as warm as he could right now, and see if he could move her after she wasn’t in so much danger of freezing to-

He squashed that thought immediately.

“Okay,” he said again, just to fill the silence. He darted for his dresser and pulled out as many warm clothes he had, pulled his extra hoodies off his hangers, and retreated back to Maru, dropping them into a pile beside her. He hesitated for only a second before unzipping a few of his looser hoodies and reaching for her, slowly working them around her, pulling the hoods up and drawing the hoods closed as much as possible without obscuring her face. “Okay, he repeated. “I’m going to move you, alright? In a second. I’m gonna- these are gonna be between you and the floor, along with your blanket, them I’m gonna move you.”

And he did just that, spreading the remaining warm clothes over the floor after tugging on a single jacket for himself, and wrapping Maru’s blanket more securely around her shoulders, he moved behind her and eased her back onto his chest. Very slowly, with arms holding her steady, he leaned down with her just to ensure he didn’t move her too harshly, and carefully moved out from under her so he could lay her down on the clothes.

He pulled his blankets and sheets off his bed too, ignoring anything that clattered off for the moment, and laid it all over Maru. He stared at her, clenching his fists, trying to think if there was anything else he could do.

More blankets, he thought, because even if his blanket and hers were thick, they were just two blankets. He’s sure his mom and Demetrius wouldn’t care if he snagged theirs in a rush if it meant helping Maru.

“I’ll be right back,” he promised, keeping his voice low even though there was no reason to. But it felt like if he spoke any louder, he’d somehow hurt her more.

He dashed up the stairs, to his mom’s room, and yanked off with slight difficulty the heavy quilt and sheets. Bundling them into his arms, he was about to dart back down to Maru, but he paused just as he was about to pass the lab.

Didn’t they have a first aid kit in there?

Would it have anything that could help?

It was worth checking, wasn’t it?

He glanced to the stairs before dropping the blankets for now, and booked it into the lab, swiftly opening all the cabinets he could until he found the first aid kit they did keep in there, because his mom refused to let them into the lab until they got one.

Sebastian grunted as he hauled the blankets back into his arms and raced as quick as he dared down the stairs. He dropped everything near Maru and set to work draping the extra blankets across her, and even grabbing his pillow and taking off the pillowcase just to put something around the top of her head where the blankets didn’t quite reach well enough.

She was still shaking, and breathing somewhat slow, but already it wasn’t quite as slow as before. He settled close enough to her head that he could see her face, and was struck by the fact that his gameboy was still the only thing giving light into his room.

He glanced around, and spotted the lantern she had brought in, knocked over in his haste to get everything out of the way. He reached and dragged it closer, flicking it on and keeping it close. Then he remembered his phone.

It was, miraculously, still on his nightstand. He didn’t get up from Maru’s side, just stretched to grab it before hunching over and turning it on. He hoped he could still get service despite the power knocked out and being in his room.

He pulled up the clinic’s emergency line, hoping Harvey hadn’t gone to the Saloon that night, and clicked call.

The ringing was agonizing even as he busied himself with pulling the first aid kit into his lap and starting his way through it, even if he might not be sure what he was looking for inside it.

Harvey sounded tired when he answered, but alert enough, and Sebastian guessed it was because of the emergency phone in the clinic going off. He didn’t pay attention to what Harvey actually said at first.

“Maru’s got hypothermia,” Sebastian said, hunching further into himself and technically over Maru. She was still awake, luckily. “I- we’re snowed in, and the power’s out, and the heaters broke. When I woke up, she was freezing. I got her blankets and as many of my hoodies and coats I could get. Is there anything else I can do?”

Harvey was very, very quiet for a lot longer than Sebastian liked. But when he finally responded, voice a little higher pitched and worry clear in his voice, the frustration Sebastian felt dissipated just slightly.

“You’ve done well, Sebastian. Stay with her. I… I also seem to be snowed in for the time being, but I think Lewis or Marnie may have something that could clear snow. I’ll call them as soon as I can and get you guys out of there. If you have a first aid kit in the house, see if there’s any warm compresses. Apply to her face or chest, do not under any circumstances put them on her arms or legs, as much as they may be freezing, it will only cause more harm. Stay with her. Have you called your parents?”

“Not yet. I- Demetrius is at the saloon, Mom’s at the farm.”

“Alright, I’ll call Demetrius after calling Marnie and Lewis, you see if there are any warm compresses and call the farmer.”

“Don’t Marnie and Lewis go to the saloon on Fridays?”

“Marnie already called me earlier asking for advice on keeping Jas warm, she’s home. Now call your mom, let her know what’s going on, and I’ll call you with news about what’s going to happen from there. Continue getting Maru warmer, slowly.” 

The phone clicked off as Harvey hung up, and Sebastian dialed the farmer’s number. Once it was ringing, he kept the phone between his shoulder and ear and now looked through the first aid kit with a purpose, sifting through until he could hopefully find some compressors. 

All he could really do now was hope for the best.

since you asked

so. w ember i dont look at her EVER i know she has weird makeup from her eyes but hell if i rmemwber what it looks like, ive been thinking about kitty and johnny recently and all i got out of it was that kitty’s hair was weirdly rectangular. get dreads i guess. and that my pen doesn’t do dots very well. im sorry king i didnt get your acne right o777 and w whatever her name is i HAAAAATE her hair w a passion. tone it down a littlw PLEASE

THIS IS WHAT I MEAN BY REDESIGNS ARE BETTER

I LOVE that you gave Kitty dreads!!!!! Also love the body type you gave her!!! And honestly I think your Johnny looks great you did his acne pretty well imo

The like fishnet top for Ember???? I love it. And I love how you've done her hair

And Spectra!!!! Tbh I think your version of her hair is way better - it just looks more pleasing and as painful to draw as it may be, it makes her look less like an evil person (like she was pretending to be lol)

Look at me and compare your designs to these canon ones. Try to argue with me that the canon ones are better. I dare you. (You will lose. The canon designs are merely a suggestion to artists.)

Meet the Farmers!

Meet Kali, Aster, and Sour Patch!

Kali is a quiet extrovert, easily befriending the townsfolk but preferring to spend time adventuring in the mines. Kali uses she/her pronouns, is aroace, and eventually has Krobus as a roommate.

Aster is quite loud, but very much an introvert, preferring to spend time fishing alone and having to be dragged to social events. Aster uses they/them pronouns, is panromantic asexual, and eventually marries Elliott, who they fall for hard.

Sour Patch is a social butterfly passionate about learning and hoards everything. Sour Patch uses any and all pronouns, or even no pronouns, is aromantic (and romance repulsed) and doesn't put a label on his sexuality beyond "allosexual" and "non-monogamous".

There might be more farmers to come ^^

Hiya!!! Here's the WIPs I'm interested to hear more about, feel free to not answer if you don't wanna talk about these ones, or feel free to choose which ones you talk about ^^

Demon Essay (I'm very curious about this one)

Half blind meli

Gelda and Zeldris Angst

💜💜💜💜💜

The "Demon Essay" is something I started writing before the Demon Realm Arc in 4kota came out, before I started reading it in fact, and it's inspired by one of zorria's posts and kind of an exploration and 'defense' anaylsis of what we've seen from the demon clan. Big focus on Zeldris and antics from cursed by light. I'd love to send it to you and hear your thoughts, if you want!

2. I am very intrigued by my mutuals' angst aus especially the ones where Meliodas has more siblings. Half-blind Meliodas au is Balin's, and I thought the exteme gore and themes of it all might make for something really fun to work on during the spooky season.

https://www.tumblr.com/gh0stofyesterday/726865869113835520/hehehe-a-lil-pencil-sketch-of-my?source=share

ohhh LMAO should tag balin when I'm talking about its au: @gh0stofyesterday

Unfortunately a shitton happened since I first thought of my senario for this (ow) but it's is still in the works. My spinoff premise, basically, is about how his older sister's restless soul has - unbeknowst to the current her - kept cycling through a sort of 'unfair cosmic punishment' (as she'd call it) of reincarnations. She's lonely, she's angry, and she just can't seem to escape the repetition of loneliness and unfullfilment- 'cause she has no catalyst to help her get the help she needs to make a change for herself. And no therapist. Until, a couple loops through, she meets Meliodas again. Doesn't recognize him of course. Will she be able to connect with her brother? Will she even try? Can she? Tune in on: balin please help me make sure I didn't kidnap your character and play puppet with her incorrectly to find out!

And here's, uh, an excerpt:

The first time she ever looked at his sullen face, the burning rage in his eyes could level a mountain. Yes. Both of them. The exposed medical disaster that was his right eye barely moved as he tracked her movements, her wide lopsided smile, the tilt of her head, and the way she clasped her hands together as she told him “Welcome!” and motioned for him to sit beside her in the tent. 

“I don’t know how to work with any of this shit,” he told her matter-of-factly, indicating her display of medical equipment. She’d only set it out arranged like this so it looked like someone was living and doing something worthwhile in here, but that was too pathetic to explain, so she just did the usual act of nodding like yes, she meant to do this, and “offering encouragement” instead of “retaliating to every little change in the atmosphere.” That curse rolled off his tongue as if he was mocking a dumb word in another language he was being forced to use and she didn’t appreciate it, not when the only thing they gave her to represent her expertise and profession was a flimsy banner saying ‘me-decal recruitment’ and they sent in this man with a sword slung across his back as a candidate. 

“Not everyone has the skillset right off the bat-” oh, he didn’t seem encouraged by that at all. Toned-down confrontation it was. “Woah. Could you stop . . . radiating, hostile energy? Could we talk about that, by any chance?” “What do you know about me?”

“Excuse me, I asked you a question.”

3. The Geldris is inspired by what I feel is a severe lack of vampire Gelda antics and nicknamed affectionally as the "blood-drinking fic." The first is from Zeldris's perspective and involves one of his 'secret' shenanigans / errand master antics from the Holy War Era and is supposed to include a second "aftermath" part with some demon bros bonding. The second, is, uh . . . idk what to write for that yet! ideas welcome. I'm thinking a domestic scene.

Wrote a little metaphor - poem for when Gelda drinks his blood:

He tasted like wild berries and trampled leaves 

quick snacks between sprints

one old seasoned bird snatched on a flight 

  That kind of quickly devoured game which took weeks of stalking

And a piece of the juiciest fruit handed down with love.

 Like someone who cared for others before he cared for himself. He tasted like her.

Gonna reblog some old writing snippets before deleting that old oc blog. Mostly just my favorite things ^^

No clue what this is I was just kinda bored- Anywho!

----------------

Taylor leans against the doorframe, peering into the massive room cluttered with books and robotic parts and maps. There's a few tables spread throughout, but only one has anyone using it.

Dani's hunched over some book, holding his head in his hands as he tries to focus. Exhaustion eats at his mind and his vision blurs but he blinks and rubs at his eyes until he sees the words on the page again. And Taylor frowns, watching him. Usually she'd go get Jeremiah to come and convince Dani to go to bed, as he was much better at it than her, but Jeremiah was still in the infirmary being healed.

Taylor pushed herself away from the wall and walked towards the prince, kneeling beside him and grabbing his arm, catching Dani's attention. "Hey, whatcha reading?"

She keeps her voice down and squeezes his arm gently. Dani rubs his eyes again, looking back towards the book before answering. "Angel's diary, again. There's gotta be a way for us to hold her together longer-"

"Depriving yourself of sleep won't help, though." Taylor cuts him off, tilting her head. Dani doesn't deny this, closing his eyes for a moment. "What's wrong?" She asks, running her fingers along his arm until she reached his hand. He gripped it tightly as soon as her fingers interlocked with his.

"Today was awful."

Taylor hummed, running her thumb over the back of Dani's hand before reaching with her free hand to rub between his wings. The reaction was instant, Dani melting at the touch and he slumped in the chair. "And?"

"And every time I thought I was able to fall asleep, I just reimagined you and Jeremiah in front of me barely breathing." His grip tightened and Taylor leaned her head against his arm. "I couldn't do anything to help you guys- I-" he huffed in frustration, and Taylor watched him squeeze his eyes shut, tears forming at the edges.

"What if I slept in your room tonight? Or you slept in mine?" Dani looked at her, eyes glossy with unshed tears. She finally saw the red rimming his eyes, and the faint tear tracks of the tears he had cried earlier while they were in the infirmary. He tilted his head at her, frowning slightly. "You don't have to, obviously. I was just wondering if that would help."

Dani let out a shaky sigh, but he nodded, and Taylor smiled before turning around, on her feet but crouching. Dani laughed slightly before climbing onto Taylor's back, burying his face in her neck as she stood up. "Should you be carrying me?" He asked, voice quiet as Taylor walked out of the study and closed the door behind her.

"Dolan would probably kill me, Azzy maybe too, but hey, what they know can't hurt them. Besides, the aches haven't set in yet." Dani hummed into her skin, letting his eyes drift shut. He didn't fall asleep, but he was already close to doing so. He opened them when he heard Taylor again.

"Your room or mine?"

Silence for a moment, and then, "yours."

Taylor nodded and headed to her room, settling Dani on the bed before closing her own door. She stretched, removed her dreads from their binds and climbed into bed next to the prince, opening her arms for him. Dani accepted the embrace of his girlfriend, draping a wing over her as he rested his head on her chest. She reached to put out the little lamp near the bed.

"Keep it on," Taylor froze when Dani spoke. "Please?"

She nodded, bringing her arm back and wrapping it around Dani. He sighed into her neck, letting his eyes close. His body was so, so tired, and hers felt so warm and comforting... and her heartbeat.

Dani matched his breathing to Taylor's heartbeat, steady against his ear, and he ran his fingers over her shoulder, feeling the new scar there but it was just as warm as the rest of her, albeit a bit rougher. Taylor brushed some of his feathers into place as they lied there in silence.

She didn't fall asleep until she was certain Dani was.

[triangle-meanace]

Can you believe this is the second time I've ever drawn Alex?

A shame, really. Hopefully I get a chance to draw him more in the future!

If you're interested, I do commissions and have a ko-fi! ^^

Just Leave A Comment Fest Stats

Thank you to @justleaveacommentfest for hosting!!!

Decided I wanted to put my stats somewhere - as well as just post all of the awesome fics I ended up reading! Seriously recommend checking some of them out, they were truly a delight, and I'm really appreciative of this event not just getting me back into commenting, but reading fics in general, as I had entered a sort of reading funk ^^

Total Comments: 31

Bingo Cards

I plan to fill these out more over time for blackout but I got bingo on two cards during this event ^^

The Fics

Here's a link to ALL the fics I read ^^

I didn't read through all the fics I wanted, but I definitely read a lot more than I have in the past like 3 months so! I'll count that as a win while working through more of the listed fics over time

Below are some fics that I HIGHLY recommend - these were my favorites to read (or reread) ^^

Forever Onward, Scion - 32 fic long Wizard101 Series

This. Series. Is. INCREDIBLE!!!! No joke, definitely within a Top 10 favorite series list of mine, perhaps even a Top 5. @oldestenemy literally changed how I interpreted events and characters in this game. I actually read most of these fics early this year, and when I say they absolutely sucked me in, I mean it. I was obsessed with oldestenemy's portrayal of the Young Wizard, as well as just all the other characters and their dynamics. I literally could not put this series down once I started, I know I very much proctastinated on lots of assignments and maybe even didn't pay attention in class just because of it. For the fest I tried to comment on as many of these fics as I could to make up for the fact that I didn't comment when I first read it - and! I had fun letting it absorb my life all over again ^^

the existence of love - 1.6k words of all the Nanatsu no Taizai emotions

I went through the whole spectrum of emotions reading this fic. And I'm gonna say it was fate that I ended up finding this fic, considering I found it by rolling dice for not one but two different bingo cards. I cannot recommend it enough! By the end I was feeling so... flabberghasted, that this fic had the audacity to take me on such a wild rollercoaster of emotions. And I had to sit for a good hour after before I could continue reading. The author captured the characterizations perfectly and managed to create a character that I could relate to but filled me with absolute rage with each word out of their mouth.

By the water - 42 words of Minecraft Diaries relaxation

It's so short, but it was incredibly relaxing to read. Genuinely, I read this right before going to bed, and I was overwhelmed by a sense of calmness and just... felt so much better. I don't normally read fics this short, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it!

I've Tried Everything - Painful yet beautuful Nanatsu no Taizai Melizabeth angst

Incredible. So so incredible. I really love this author's fics, but I was surprised when I discovered I hadn't read this one! So I jumped on the chance as soon as I could and I don't regret it one bit. Head's up for suicidal Meliodas, and how his cursed has affected him over the years, and beautiful angst and distrust among the Sins. It's wonderful, all of their work is wonderful (seriously, also check out But We All Bleed Red and As Long As You're Alive by them. Incredible.)

oo great taste 😊, i love Chicago!!

Same!!! I don't think there's a single song from Chicago that I don't like. I also recently watched Movies In Depth react to it and so a few of the songs have been stuck in my head ^^

About

Welcome! My name's Amber, and this is my blog for all my random little Stardew Valley thoughts that I wanted to be able to find later.

On this blog I'll be rambling about my stardew ocs, some headcanons, perhaps some fic ideas I have - or ideas that I maybe can't fit together into a coherent fic, and (once it's released on console) I'll be posting about some of my farm playthroughs.

Now, I could do this on my main blog (@ambersky0319), however, that blog is a mess that has accumulated for the past 6 years and if I posted any of this there, I would never find a single thing ever again. Hence this blog!

More refined art and fics related to Stardew Valley will likely be reblogged here, but most of the time, you'll be able to find them over on @amberskywrites and @ambersky-art

And I'm always up to talk about this game! So feel free to send me your thoughts or tag this blog - hell even tag me in posts about your own farmers or jump into my ask box or DMs to gush about them, I'm always happy to interact and listen! ^^
