stardew valley au where joel and skizz are new residents to pelican town (hermit town?). joel just inherited a large farm from his late grandfather and skizz is moving in with his old friend after reconnecting with him and wanting a fresh start. and the townspeople are like, kinda weird.

bdubs is fine enough - he’s a sweet man with a fun personality and he’s the local builder, but it’s almost frightening how fast he constructs new buildings when joel needs them. pearl, their resident postmaster, is also pretty normal other than the fact that skizz never seems to be awake early enough to catch her delivering mail. scar is lovely but he’s never available when joel wants another chicken. the mayor, xisuma, is pleasant too, if a little eccentric at times, but he doesn’t really seem to do much in town.

for the most part, skizz is settling in well. he’s moved in with impulse, who runs the local blacksmith in town, and he gets along well with most of the local townspeople. he’s started spending his evenings at the local saloon listening to ren regale the patrons with fantastical tales while he and stress serve up food and drinks, and he finds himself growing close with cleo, the local sculptor. he even gets a new wardrobe from hypno free of charge, and sometimes helps cub out with his totally scientific studies and creations.

skizz also joins forces with beef (who helps to supply the local general store that xb and keralis run) in terrorising the local manager of the corporate chain grocery store that no one likes. doc is a terrible manager but would make a fun supervillain (according to joe hills, the bookseller who appears once in a blue moon but seems to know doc more than anyone in town).

joel, on the other hand, seems to only be interacting with the strangest residents in town. he discovers the adventurer’s guild after only a couple weeks. false promises to give him prizes if he can kill enough monsters, which is not something joel had expected to be doing when he pictured farm life, but here he is. he stumbles upon a travelling cart one day, and the man inside insists he’s a knight from a faraway land, that he risked his life to make it all the way here to sell his wares. it’s all stuff joel can get cheaper elsewhere.

he’s pretty sure the local doctor has no real medical training, but then he passes out while fighting monsters and he wakes up completely fine, so zedaph probably knows what he’s doing. maybe. when joel isn’t passing out he sometimes makes trips to the library-slash-museum, which is probably almost completely empty because mumbo, who begs joel for anything to display, looks like he’s never fought a duggie in his life. eventually mumbo gives joel a key to the sewers, which are way cooler than they have any right to be, and that’s where he finds jevin’s secret sewer shop. jevin lives in town. he just also has a shop hidden underground. joel has stopped asking questions by now.

and then there are the three who live by the beach. etho spends most of his time tinkering around the fishing hut or hovering around bdubs, but sometimes he drives the bus to the desert. only sometimes. there might be something under his mask. no one knows for sure. gem runs the fish shop most days and she claims she’s a sailor, but joel has never seen a single working boat around despite all the ocean. she can also hold her breath underwater for an uncannily long amount of time, like, scarily so, and will sometimes disappear for a few days and return with an abundance of treasures. joel has never seen her leave by boat. grian fishes a lot and runs the shop when gem can’t, and he sometimes talks as though the sea can speak to him. skizz has caught him staring into space for extended periods of time. one time he waded into the water and just stood there, head down, muttering to himself.

apparently there used to be a lighthouse but “it’s gone now”. gem says if they ask bdubs nicely enough maybe they can build another one, but she and grian are banned from build requests after the last incident with their pet snails (joel has never seen the snails, but scar complains about them enough to convince him they’re real).

there also might be some kind of wizard who lives in the creepy tower in the woods. skizz has heard he’s the one who helps maintain the power in the valley, and joel’s convinced he hallucinated seeing him once until he recieves a letter from the wizard himself, and visits him only to find that the strange fire-creature he saw that one time was, in fact, tango, who is human for the most part, he just sets himself on fire sometimes.

can i see you do the 💍 hc, please? i love you bby.

hi jayby i love you🥺 thank you for sending an ask for this game!

ellie + jewelry

ellie owns a sick collection of rings, making them her most obvious lesbian signal aside from... gestures vaguely to her entire self.

she’s also dabbled (or will someday) in a few piercings—a nose ring, several on her ears, maybe even a belly-button piercing...

but... on a silly note, ellie would absolutely love doing a little jewelry-making activity with her girlfriend.

what starts as a sweet, slightly-corny date quickly turns into a competition to see who can make the goofiest bracelet. you plop ellie's into her hand (^see above) with the giddiest grin.

ellie scoffs to cover a giggle, calling you ridiculous. she acts all too inconvenienced to slip it on, making a big show of it—though her rosy cheeks give her away.

to finish it off, you make a matching set with each other's initials, leaning shamelessly into the cringe.

ellie wears the silly one and the one with your initials every day. forever.

RvB facecanons! Closeups under the cut.

[draystersden]

So in Japanese media at least, the eye shapes of animated characters collectively have distinct names and meanings, which reflect on the character's outward bearing (if they're intended to be cute, cool, etc) and the character's own personality. I was looking at the art + models of BBA's Elite Four, and noticed that the same design philosophies overall apply to them.

(All of this information regarding eye shapes I'm referring to is copy-pasted from a user on twitter who claims to be Japanese-American and has read a lot of Japanese fiction in the language. So, the info is fairly trustworthy methinks.)

切れ長 (kirenaga), lit. “cut long.” Kirenaga eyes are long and thin, but they can be either monolids or double eyelids. Kirenaga eyes are often considered aloof or sexy (as opposed to cute). Kirenaga are also associated with traditional eastern beauty in Japan.

Kirenaga seems to be what Drayton has. He definitely comes off as aloof on the surface, mellow to the point he maintains a sense of detachment to what goes on around him. Wouldn't surprise me if Drayton's character designer intended for him to come off as attractive too.

丸目or まんまる目 (marume or manmarume), lit. “round eyes.” Marume are the opposite of Kirenaga eyes. As the name suggests, they’re big and round. Marume are considered cute and childlike.

This for sure applies to Crispin. He comes off as the youngest in the E4 (I'm pretty sure his model is the shortest of them), plus he has a very boisterous and outgoing personality. Furthermore, his personality is almost the complete opposite to Drayton's, which feeds into their eye shapes being opposites. Pretty neat detail!

三白眼 (sanpakugan), lit. “eye with 3 whites.” This is when the iris is small enough that some of the white of the eye is visible above or below the iris. This means the white is visible on 3 sides of the iris instead of 2. Sanpakugan is often considered intimidating or intense.

Amarys' eye shapes is interesting. The closest does seem to be sanpakugan; it makes sense because of her mature and stoic personality. Funnily enough, you could make the argument that marume is blended in for her as well, and it still works? Because in-game, Amarys gives off some hints that her character is more innocent than she seems. Being confused by her feelings towards Kieran, and just assuming Miraidon / Koraidon is an "Agias" and not questioning it, are big implications imo.

たれ目 (tareme), lit. “droopy eyes.” Tareme are when the outer corner of the eye “droops” down and is lower than the inner corner of the eye. Tareme are often considered cute or gentle.

Lacey's eye shapes go with this one the most by far. The concept of "cuteness" is one of her character's driving forces, so of course her appearance is going to have cutesy traits. The difference she has with Crispin though is that she does have more of a gentle nature compared to his brashness, so that's where the softer element comes into play.

-//-

I'm sure these eye types are flexible and no single artist rigidly sticks to them, they're like templates more than anything else, so it's cool to see how they can be represented in a character's design!
