Mutucule Farm #16

2023-04-24, Session #16 of Mutucule Farm! Ranging from Summer 4—11, Year 2!

Cast:

me (@mothmute)

Belle (@snacco)

Cam (@amanitaspore)

Erin (@salamand3rin)

Highlights include, but are not limited to:

pre-game discussions—

Cam’s gotta leave early tonight ... but he’s about ready to put a pendant on Emily, what happens if he proposes and leaves?

doing a little ASMR

Erin said she’d be late and to start without her, “which is fine ‘cause she has no real responsibilities anyway” (this is not true)

oh right, I’m married to Penny!

Belle changes out of her wedding outfit

Cam embezzles some money. Cambezzling, if you will

definitely making Potato Juice for Pam, not hard liquor

Caroline wishes Pierre would make dinner. girl, leave him!!

Pig #8! Suggested name was “Chinley”, which is quite good, but this is Constable

(Belle gets a steel watering can)

why are there so many broken glasses around Pelican Town??

we later speculate maybe there was a manufacturer around here that shut down

Belle gives Jas some ice cream, which was definitely for her birthday and not just good timing......

Cam claims to be capable of focusing and organizing??

after a side-by-side price test, raw iridium truffles are the way to go, at least ‘til somebody gets Artisan and boosts the oil’s value

Found a super meal in a crate! It did not come with a baja blast.

Cam successfully answers the ghost’s riddles and gets a mermaid’s pendant!

oh right, summer means luau, luau means sturgeon!

Belle struggles in the grub hub

this crab doesn’t want Belle to kill it. which is fair, really,

Erin is planning on rooming with Krobus someday

is not trying to get “Krobussy” (to quote Belle)

Impromptu fish-off with Cam!! (I lose)

A train is passing through stardew valley??

oh. all passengers. disappointing.

wait, how late are sturgeon open? ‘til 7? okay I’ll come back tomorrow

Erin can’t be seen with me, my not-hat is too ugly

We’re unable to process enough “Potato Juice” for Pam. MISSION FAILED oh no!

There was a quest to catch a bunch of Rainbow Trout and we come up one short, alas, MISSION FAILED again (Rainbow Trout are also only open ‘til 7)

Erin finds a dino egg!!

Cam caught their own Sturgeon, but says having one from me would be more meaningful, so alright, back to the fish-mines for graded fish

Trufflebucks making real money. Cheese money? Not real anymore, the money goalposts have been moved.

... items have been placed in the town lost and found??? what?

finding a diamond in the trash can near Joja??

Belle steps away, and we absolutely did not talk about imprisoning her somehow

Cam has to say goodnight early :(

The worst thing about dust sprites is when they run away, ‘cause then I feel bad about killing them. They’re afraid!

Wizard wants ectoplasm!

Stardrop from Krobus! It reminds me of Synthesizers...

Sebastian tells Belle about how welcome he feels here! ... as he stands in the corner, in the dark

Krobus said something about the conditions in the sewers being just perfect, I wonder if they’re related?

(nobody checked the lost and found......)

I continue to fund the pigs, the corruption goes all the way to the top

while Erin still lives in squalor!

time to do some ghost-hunting!!

less like those TV shows where they try to get recordings, and more like hunting

“gotta hunt ghosts to feed my family” “have you heard of this show called Supernatural?”

non-canon shirt?

TO-DO:

Luau!

Currently at 8/12 hogs...

House upgrades! Tool upgrades! Coop upgrades!

“Better fences, better pastures” is still on the list, oops

Still gotta do some bundles!!

Cam needs to propose to Emily!

also I still need 1 cloth so I can make the non-canon shirt, canon

(more Krobus stardrops for everybody, we’ve got spending money)

Cam (@amanitaspore​)

Erin (@salamand3rin​)

Highlights include, but are not limited to:

wizard’s on a wizard diet

Shed reorganization! Workbench is real good!

Cam witnesses a mysterious disappearing pig

(they did an internal investigation, but didn’t find anything)

Belle recounts the classist ghost

Marnie says “hay”

Iguanodon looks grumpy

they’re threatening to call chicken protection services on me

Woolface gets renamed to Ruckus

Belle judges Leah for disliking ice cream

she speculates “maybe she’s lactose intolerant?” before remembering that lactose intolerant people love ice cream

Belle finds morals, finally

(when asked to weigh in on this, Cam pleads the fifth)

Belle “put some cheese on for the morning”

Cam’s got baggy pants

Erin ran into traffic on the way to the flower dance

George like “flower? I hardly knew ‘er!”

Sam lies about liking flowers.

Shane drinks the sauce

I never noticed how tight all the bachelors’ pants are during the flower dance

“that’s why they call him bubblebutt Cam”

everybody piles up in my bed

Emily wants to meet Cam in the secret woods!

Robin mails Cam a couple trees worth of wood

Sixth pig is named Captain, but the suggested name “Wortizor” deserves mention

Seventh pig is named Chief, but “Reckardo” is also very good

Belle slams Cam with the Cam-Slammer. apparently this changes his shirt’s color?

Pam wants “potato juice”

Caroline apparently heard and wanted to help, ‘cause she mailed me a potato

can’t romance the ghost (at least, not with that attitude)

Cam forgot his date in the woods with Emily, but it’s okay, she’s still waiting for him

Iguanodon is gonna get you

Erin supplies Belle with some grass

Cam goes on his date! —Exit, pursued by a bear.

Fuck this tree in particular

Belle gets engaged to Sebastian!

Marlon will remember this (pleased with me for killing bats in the mines)

Prismatic shard!!!

Which one is the real Pam?? (see gallery)

One Pam always tells the truth, one Pam always lies...

What’re these trees doing in the desert??

(I probably put them there, to cut them down)

Galaxy sword!!

Erin is sad about a particular tree getting cut down. It was me, I saw a tree and my instincts to kill kicked in

getting a big shed!!

I begrudgingly allow Cam to borrow my straw hat— I earned that hat, this is stolen hat valor!

Erin barely makes it to bed after staying up late planting on Summer 1

Belle wears the Pam shirt to her own wedding

(I’m dressed up for some reason though???)

“But the future looks bright!”

I find a note requesting I meet a bear in the secret woods with some maple syrup

speaking of bears, Belle notices that somebody gave Clint a friend

A discussion of the importance of people having lips

Realizing I can get into chairs like Riker

Erin and I race to water Belle’s cactus while her can is in the shop (I won)

Storage shed is upgraded, and it’s big!

... did you have to put things in those preserves jars right now, when I’m reorganizing again? “yes, it’s a jam emergency. jamergency.”

I go off hunting several trees, and am rewarded with level 10 foraging!

TO-DO:

Potato juice for Pam!

Cam needs a rainy day!

Currently at 7/12 hogs...

Houses, backpacks, tools, barns, coops??

Better fences and pastures

still gotta do some bundles

save up for stardrops

Gallery:

pamquest

Wedding!

group photo at the end!

Mutucule Farm #13

2023-03-13, Session #13 for Mutucule Farm, Spring 7 Year 2 through Spring 13 Year 2

Cast:

Me (@mothmute)

Belle (@snacco)

Cam (@amanitaspore) — absent tonight, but with us in spirit

Erin (@salamand3rin)

Highlights include, but are not limited to:

Pompkin is taking a nap in solidarity with Cam, who couldn’t make it due to having to go to bed early

I accidentally killed one of the potatoes :(

Erin pet one of my pigs >:(

Making a trip to the desert just to plant a bunch of trees. Reforestation, yeah!

—followed immediately by clear-cutting Cindersap Forest. Deforestation, yeah!

Belle starts building fences around her barn and fences herself in

my notes say “very precarious seeds” but I do not remember the full context of that

Belle picks most of the jazz, but leaves one for the bees so they can make Jazz Honey

Belle continues building fences and walks into a tree, george-of-the-jungle style

I added gates to the fences that I made all by myself without Belle’s help at all

(this is a lie. not the part about the gates, that’s real, but Belle made most of the fences)

Belle asks if this is gatekeeping, I reply “yeah” in a way that made people laugh

Gotta save eggs for cam (not pam)

Hatmouse looking at me very sadly...

Hatmouse is a... small business owner

(Hatmouse is very small and has no money, so you can imagine the kind of stress that they’re under.)

We could all use a little enrichment in our enclosures

I realize, in the middle of the day, that it is raining. I mean, I knew it was raining, but I remembered the implications of the rain, and rush to the beach

(But I won’t go in for the kill pop the question ‘til Cam is back)

Belle has a cutscene where she scooches closer to Sebastian (for the kill)

Haunted Mariner isn’t convinced that Belle isn’t a cop and won’t sell to her

—at which point Belle realizes she’s only at 9 hearts with Sebastian. Maybe the scooch was too much?

Train! Doesn’t drop any loot, boooo.

I remember a secret note, though, and dig up some buried treasure (see gallery)

I regift a maki roll that Linus sent me to Belle

Erin brews coffee at midnight

The potatoes are done!! Harvesting all the ‘tatoes!

Officer is fully grown!! Detective is still a baby

We try to get them together for a photo, but it doesn’t really work out. (see gallery)

I keep forgetting Joja is an option for buying seeds

“but you’re such a big fan!”

I purchase Pig #3, Corporal!

I deny accusations of rustling. Cutting down trees is not rustling, if hear rustling it must’ve been a ghost.

(Fella enjoys sniffing the flowers by his stables)

First truffles!!

When Pompkin lies on the bed, you can still get into bed, unlike a cat on a bed in real life

Sold the potatoes!! We went above and beyond with potatoes! We didn’t need that one I accidentally killed, anyway!

I immediately rocket from like level 1 farming to level 5

We each get a mini shipping bin as a reward

I wonder if we could use it to lure Lewis into a trap...?

Potato money means Pig #4, Sergeant! I’ll have to upgrade the barn when I wanna get more

Erin gets a deluxe backpack!

I ask Belle if she’s feeling okay when she doesn’t make the reference

Discussing free range fruit trees

Erin thinks it makes sense, since we’ve got so much “unsprinkleable land”

Lewis sends Belle a letter about Mermaid’s Pendants

how did he know? is he always watching??

First apples are in, we’ll be able to finish the Fodder bundle soon!!

morning is egg day— we agreed not to do Eggs without Cam, so that’s the end of the session. ‘til next time!!

TO-DO:

Egg fest!

Gonna get married!!

Fodder bundle!!!

Still haven’t added more bees

More backpack + tool upgrades?

Taller barn/coop??

Finish the fences???

House upgrades!

fashion!!

more Iridium Sprinklers!!!

(other bundles)

(also I realized that Krobus sells stardrops, we need to save up for those)

Gallery:

The treasure!! (the best part is that it’s obscuring my hat*)

(* - legally not a hat)

Detective (L) and Officer (R) after Officer grew up got promoted!

Hey, could you get a little close for a better picture?

Oh. That’s ... maybe a little too close.

Belle (@snacco​)

Cam (@amanita-spore​)

Erin (@salamand3rin​)

Highlights include, but are not limited to:

Starting to organize the shed!!

(oh god, I forgot Erin’s fedora)

me on my way to steal your man (Sebastian)

I never thank anybody for poisoning me with hazelnuts

Separation between cheese and shed

I saw a fancy slime and all I got was this lousy t-shirt

Belle tells Caroline “hi” for Erin

Pompkin blocking the corridor in my house; Belle takes my bed, and I take hers

I always get got by the bee drum!!

Everybody in this general store desires Caroline carnally

Abigail prairie king’d me

We failed the wizard’s quest, and weren’t able to find a prismatic slime in time

Traveling merchant really coming through for us: snow yams, large egg, caviar

I sigh wistfully, declare that I miss Cam, and then he shows up!

(he couldn’t join us at the start of the session but we’re all glad he could make it)

... in Belle’s bed? okay, sure.

Erin crawls into my doorway just as the clock hits 2:00AM

Bridge repaired!! Yeah!!

Erin and I try (and fail) to scam Robin into working on two things at once

Some talk about edging the tall grass and the paths 😏

Cam blames me for a prank, and punishes me by jumping into bed with me

I accept another ill-advised community quest; we are fated to fail.

Talking about tree fertilizer

Belle plays D&D with Sebastian and Kickflip

Erin and I successfully get two construction projects going simultaneously!

Stables for Erin, Coop for me!

Belle has acquired some extremely legal bones from the caves.

I was able to kill some ghosts for the Wizard

Erin built stables and they’re very much in Belle’s way, but Belle will be mad if this inconveniences Erin into moving the stables that are inconveniencing Belle.

Cam murders the mahogany, and goes off to the Shame Cave

Erin’s still wearing that Fedora. At night, in the rain, always. We discuss the smell of wet fedora.

Stables are done! Erin names the horse Fella.

... but Robin hasn’t actually started on the Coop yet. In the end, it was we who were scammed.

Fella helps himself to some eggplant

Stick Gang runs around while I try to get some honest work done around here

Erin puts the fedora away, wears a green ribbon

SPOOKY NIGHT

love to see a good baba yaga

Last day of fall. It’s raining, and we still need Catfish and Shad for Bundles. We can do this.

catfish gives me the slip, but Cam is victorious

Belle gets a witch hat! (that checks out)

First of winter, non-canon day!

Bomb in the shed was disappointing

Standing between two slightly out-of-tune noteblocks— wow, I hate this

I start spamming bombs and Pompkin wanders in!!

Pompkin goes flat??? I EXPLODED POMPKIN NOOOOOooooo......

TO-DO:

acquire birds for the coop

make winter entertaining??

winter crops!!

(big barn being constructed)

second barn??

upgrades??

more romance??

Me (@mothmute)

Belle (@snacco​)

Cam (@amanitaspore​)

Erin (@salamand3rin​)

Highlights include, but are not limited to:

Cam decides he wants to keep some sheep sometime

Personally, I’m looking forward to getting a slutch and doing some slusbrandry

Erin forgot about my hat*, and was immediately disappointed

* - legally not a hat

I’m gonna pan for gold, a thing I actually bother doing, and a valuable and important mechanic in the game

(Pompkin makes his tail get big at the sight of it)

I use only the freshest egg to make Belle a chocolate cake (my egg reserves are off-limits)

Erin made some comment about needing hard wood (I don’t remember the full context)

We all agree that fitness is very important

Copper watering can! A can, for watering copper.

We have two choices for quests. One of them is for bones.

“you got me reading the locked tomb”

We all had a lovely time in the bone mines together! We all survived!

oh shit oh shit oh shit phew

Belle and Cam survived the bones, but died of the tired sleepy.

Oh hey, Robin made a bed, aaand Demetrius is being a smartass about it

“Yea”

Putting the bones in the bone chest ribcage

Deluxe barn!

Boneless skinless dungeon floor

Starmas!

Harvey is grateful there weren’t any medical emergencies. uhhh, didn’t we fuckin’ die a few times?

Belle gets a gift from Willy!

Cam gets a gift from Shane!

Erin gets a gift from Clint!

I get a gift from ... Willy again? Why’d he get two?

It’s nice of Robin to invite us to sit with her at the feast, but the chairs are all decorative. Can’t sit on ‘em.

Anyway, thanks for the gifts, we’re just gonna walk out on the “feast” part of the “feast of the winter star”— seeya!

Pompkin in my bed

“you shouldn’t have said anything”

IT WAS AN AMBUSH

Cam finally gets level 1 farming!! Yay!!

Artifact spot contains bones, a promising bone omen, or bomen

(everybody insists that “bomen” is actually a job)

I’m not gloating about how many bones I’m finding, just ... show-boning

“Peloton town”

Delicious secret notes, full of essential inks

Belle follows a secret note’s instructions to go into the woods in the dead of night to meet a bear

We hit the bone quota!!

Somewhere along the way, I pick up ... The Slammer. I’ve got better, so I hand it off to Belle, who immediately uses it to menace Cam.

borat voice: my wine

(nobody liked this, everybody got a negative moodlet)

Sheep named Buckle!

Cool pig day! Also, pig day!!

Pig name: Officer

Belle upgrades her backpack, giving us the best possible amount of money. (See gallery)

Last day of the season, I pick up a plush junimo.

Winter is over!!

Fella and Pompkin hang out together (see gallery)

Belle asks why my light radius is so big. I’m not glow-ting, but I’ve got multiple glow rings!

Secret note directs me to an ornate necklace. It’s still wet.

Heart event with Emily (Birds)

At some point, my bride-to-be (Penny) caught me digging through the trash! I’ve gotta make it up to her by giving her diamonds. People’ll excuse anything if you give them enough diamonds.

Penny sends me a note to meet her at the bathhouse after dark......

Pale ale for Pam is up, gonna drop it off in everybody’s chests

Cam’s chest overfloweth

Abigail’s mom will never know (about the necklace. It’s still wet.)

Big potato quest!

Belle does not like my potato field

Cam requests my strange buns 😘

(uses it to make a shirt for Belle)

I’ve got a hot date!

Hey, why does penny have a shadow or reflection in the bathhouse, and I don’t?

We agree to stop planting trees in the Beach Farm’s limited splash zone.

We don’t need 200+ common mushrooms, I’m gonna sell ‘em. That’s hog money!

Pigs are pricy, but they’ll pull their own weight. And sometimes a smuggler merchant cart, too!

Second pig: Detective

Emily requests an apricôt (the t is silent)

Mature single trees in your area!

“they have a root system!”

not anymore they don’t 😏

RIP Belle, died to skulls

lost The Slammer!! has to ask Marlon to get it back

Cam surprises me with a trash can shirt! ... but it’s a tank top.

Somebody put a Joja sign in my house??

I am not a corporate shill!

Expanded bees?

Backpack + Tool upgrades

no way, I’m not taking notes for everything before the game even starts

(“maybe our premium patreon donors can have the pre show notes”)

Belle has dibs on the watering can (but little do we know)

I read out the invite code—FDCZA009H3A—before copying/pasting but Erin said she’d already gotten it (I’m skeptical)

we continue referencing cowtown

I go to the mines, get our first stardrop!! Yeah!!

Belle delivering Sebastian his daily Frozen Tears

(they’re Erin’s, I put them there)

It’s Jelly Night!!!

Pierre is ignoring his wife to focus on his true love, Money

(camily is endgame)

Level 6 Combat! Slegg press......

I overexert myself, fishing is now forbidden

Robin puts up the Special Orders board, Lewis tries to take credit

(I keep mistakenly writing my notes in two places, whoops)

Watering can!!

... wait, Belle already has a copper watering can. Okay, Erin gets it instead

I defeat another slloor

Belle bullies me into going into Joja on a wednesday to get more pumpkin seeds

(I’d literally completely forgotten you could buy seeds from Joja)

Vincent wants to watch the bug race!!

Pompkin in the pumpkin patch!!

Rosie (the cow) exploring

I’m planting so many trees! Don’t ask what happens to them later, it’s carbon offsetting!

Emily wants fancy rocks

SKULL KEY

Concern about accidentally taking the wrong bus and ending up in the desert

Emily is having a psychedelic dream about me

I’m gonna end up with Penny ‘cause her name sounds like pasta

Penny alla vodka......

Eel Quest??

Penny wants an eel for her sore head (???)

I have no reserve eels, it doesn’t rain in time, and we aren’t set up to get rain totems yet. Eel Quest fails :(

Why do people live here? oh hey, Belle gets a cutscene of Shane depression drinking about it

Belle and Cam pile into my bed. Erin wasn’t invited :(

(to be fair ... nobody was.)

I get a mail pizza from Shane

Cam talks about going into the woods and cutting down trees to blow off some steam. Paraphrasing:

“You took a life!” “yeah but what about all the fish?”

“They’re fine, you can just put them in an aquarium and they perk right up!”

Belle got her steps!

Marnie’s cows can have a little amaranth, as a treat

There’s grass all over, I’d like to speak to the plantager

We should get another silo! needs copper bars, we’ve only got raw, aaand the coal is missing

Belle only needed the coal for a second! unfortunately, I also needed it for that same second!

Robin is not available to build a silo :(

Mutucule Farm #17

2023-05-15, session #17 of Mutucule Farm! Year 2, Summer 11 through Summer 22!

Cast:

me (@mothmute​)

Belle (@snacco​)

Cam (@amanitaspore​), sadly absent

Erin (@salamand3rin​)

Highlights include but are not limited to:

Summer 11:

I’m still in the pocket of Big Hog

Sturggling with the Sturgeons

Luau!

you weren’t just gonna eat a raw football, were you?

The governor seems a little hungry...

You ever eat soup so good you start vibrating?

we made so many friends! achievement soup!

Night farming! Didn’t have time to water everything in the morning!

Pompkin is your orange bastard? he’s our orange bastard

Summer 12:

Married life treating us well, Belle and I get stardrops! Erin is excluded.

so much friendship, we all get mailboxes full of recipes. spaghetti, salmon dinner, etc.

I go to continue funding the Hogs instead of housing upgrades ...

walk in on Shane drinking himself to death— I watered him, so he’s gonna grow up big and strong

... but I can’t get more Hogs until the barn upgrade finishes, whoops!

Hey, beach box! ... full of bombs!

(Erin has been visited by the yardwork fairy IRL, her audio is spotty for a while)

A train?? Erin lets me borrow Fella to go check it out. nothing.

Constable was stuck in a tree, but then he did a little shimmy and he got free

Evelyn is purchasing an octopus! —no fucking way, those things suck!

Summer 13:

Spirits have been displeased every day this session, must be ‘cause Cam isn’t here

Belle’s at level 9 farming, so she should harvest the crops (and choose correctly)

New pigs! Sheriff, Deputy, S.Trooper (”StateTrooper” wouldn’t fit), and Special Agent

set hogs to maximum!!

Cutscene with Kickflip— I go ahead and suggest experimental noise rock again, is there any point to suggesting anything else?

immediately get a second cutscene, wherein he gets an egg as a “snack” and drops it. Jody hears it from across the house and rushes to the scene of the crime, and gasped in horror; “This is absolutely terrible!”

I took the fall for him anyway— “no, the egg did.”

ANYWAY I was just here to give you some dumb soda

Belle finally got her axe together

“hey, what should I do today?” “it’s 8PM”

Erin considers making her house bigger to make room for Krobus, so he can come curl up in the corner and eat void mayonnaise straight out of the jar

Summer 14:

BELLE CHOOSES INCORRECTLY (nah that’s fine)

Pompkin is positioned for maximum obstruction; ConcernedApe clearly knows how cats work.

y’know, when the kegs were in the way, they were in constant use; now that they’re tucked neatly in the corner, nothing.

Erinbucks, making coffee

Belle loves Joja so much, she has her own Joja sign over her bed and everything

Summer 15:

Jodi wants a fish, the slimier the better

Kent wants a starfruit; “yeah, well, we all want things”

Pierre wants one (1) grape, so he can microdose on wine

Quest for the prismatic jelly!

Sebastian is fine with getting hammered, actually

Erin didn’t get the fish Jodi wanted, and now she’s anxious about holding up dinner and Vincent going hungry (see gallery)

Belle goes on a motorcyle ride with Sebastian (her husband), who says he “[doesn’t] normally bring girls here”

We conclude that Leah has both an ex-boyfriend and an ex-girlfriend, both named Kel.

Summer 16:

Accidentally gave Penny a cactus; she’s fine with this.

look, you don’t KNOW that my shirt was made with green little guy blood! it could be a vegan substitute!

bird wanders into the fire, emerges unscathed.

hey, know what fishers call the sewers? the carpal tunnel! 😎

Erin gets a soggy newspaper, but doesn’t tell us the soggy news

I spend all day in the mines hunting prismatic slime

Erin sacrifices herself for her coffee, but she didn’t even get the last one in, so it was all for naught.

Summer 17:

Pompkin clipping in the blueberries

Unethically sourced coffee; unfair trade; Erins were harmed in the making of this coffee.

I barely escape the mines with my life, after taunting the floating skulls one too many times

(and I almost go to Belle’s house instead of my own)

Summer 18:

back in the mines, I find a box of frozen tears. what’s the deal with those, anyway? whose tears are they?

Belle eats her pocket calamari

“where did that come from?” “I don’t understand the question”

no balrogs were harmed in the making of this film. they’re an endangered species, you know

Summer 19:

“just take the eggs and speak no more of this.”

Belle waters the goats; you don’t want your goat to dry out, do you?

Belle has collected 50 milk for my Purposes!

“don’t drink it all at once!” “but my bones would get SO STRONG!”

Camo pigs, hiding in the melons

(there’s a note in here about Jodi getting hammered, but I don’t remember the context. I feel like it might’ve been pam, actually?)

Can you imagine being a prismatic slime?

Summer 20:

oh right, my axe is ready, and probably has been for a few days

right, the milk! thank you!

Jas and Vincent meeting up without Penny, now that she’s a housewife

Penny probably left Jas in charge, Vincent is just like “I’m gonna eat dirt��

Erin is gonna get serial murdered!! (I jumped out wearing a mask)

I found the prismatic slime!

it’s late, so Erin just gets into bed with my wife.

Black? Phillip gave birth to a baby goat!!

named “lil phil”, got it in one!

default name was apparently “zenoze”, which kept sounding like “the nose” to me

Summer 21:

Penny watered some crops :)

Lewis wants truffle oil and says not to ask why, which IMMEDIATELY makes it so much more suspicious

I got two prismatic slime so I’m trying to figure out a way to preserve one of them for posterity

“maybe what’s his named, in the place" will buy it? (no, Marlon doesn’t buy it)

I try putting it on a table, which doesn’t work; and leaving its image on a sign, which does work (for now)

I go to make the delivery and try not to get eaten by the wizard

(“he doesn’t make it quick” “well, you wouldn’t want him to”)

Axe swap!

—“and my axe!” gets me a good grade in references, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve

Penny wants to redecorate and gives me a choice of some themes...

I mean it’s gotta be pirates, right?

(she does want me to move my stuff though so this is a note to remind myself to do that)

after not being sure what to do, it’s suggested that I go pick up after all my pigs, leaving truffles all over the place

Belle telepathically (bellepathically) offers me trash bread from a dozen paces away

Summer 22?:

we have monster musk now, we can make ourselves stinky! (see gallery)

also bombing everything, of course

TO-DO:

Upgrade coop?

Upgrade tools??

Upgrade houses???

Other construction? (slutch? fish ponds?)

at this point, I think any redesigns will be waiting ‘til winter

Bundles! ugh, we need a duck feather

Cam still needs to propose!

Stardrops!

I need to clean house a little for Penny’s benefit (Pennefit)

Erin doing cool slides with her watering can

(She got a Poseidon boon and/or heelies)

Building a silo behind the barn

I forgot to include in last time’s next time that we had a quest to collect and recycle trash!! #trashquest2023!!

aaand I get probably my longest streak of consecutive fish-catches, nary a soggy newspaper or broken glasses to be found

oops, all fish

synchronizing the corn

Erin murdered a pumpkin :(

Everybody’s invited to my bed (but not by me)

RIP Erin, guess the pumpkins got their revenge

We get a shed built, after a great deal of ... shednanigans.

Robin and I holding each other hostage until 8PM when the offending chest finally gets cleaned out and removed

The campfire and torches still going strong in the rain, they’ve got a gas line

I put my pickaxe in the shop, ask about borrowing one

Cam murdered a pumpkin :( Right in front of me :(

(I have now confiscated the murder weapon)

Choice of community quest: provide Gus with a bunch of Eggs (when we don’t have a coop), OR go rummage through the caves to find the elusive prismatic slime for the Wizard.

yeah, Wizard quest it is.

Belle stands accused of cow crimes after milking them while they’re sleeping

Party at Erin’s place!

Town fair!!

Penny is too lucky for gambling

Emily wishes she were a clown

Vincent is trying out to be a cow

I get an 82 at slingshot sports with a 2x multiplier

Cam gambles (cambles) and loses everything

We all test our strength, results up in the dramatis personae

It’s a year 1 grange, it isn’t gonna be great

(103, first place! take that, Pierre!)

After getting first place in the grange, Cam goes all-in on orange ... and wins!

Gambling man trolls me all day

Erin cleans him out, gets a fedora

Meanwhile, Belle and Cam talk shit about the squished kid at the festival

Belle callout post: breathing

At long last, I get the star points for the stardrop!!

I give Belle a jumpscare at the mystery tent

$$$ Pumpkin bux!!! $$$

Steel pickaxe is done!

cast

me (@mothmute)

Belle (@snacco)

Cam (@amanita-spore) couldn’t make it, but was with us in spirit 👻

Erin (@salamand3rin)

Highlights include, but are not limited to:

brand new channel on a discord server for mutucule-related things!

noodling on a synthesizer in belle’s absence, and then in her presence

scandalizing! (”... I didn’t say stop”)

taking notes on everything: “that’s how they got nixon!”

oh, they’re both in-game, guess I should get moving!

I witnessed a thunderstorm murder one of my trees :(

Belle does not remember where Marnie lives

once there to buy her cows, she doesn’t remember where we put the barn

(we put it down)

Erin threatens me until pressured into a boring bomb exchange, rather than mutually assured destruction

my notes just say “slorphanage” but I don’t remember the full context for slime orphans

I mention wanting a delivery of fish, Erin suggests I get them from the amazon

Emily sent me cloth! And then the next day, she shows up at my door to tell me about cloth

everybody stop what you’re doing! Pompkin did a lil’ hop!!

I say “make it so” and Belle gets it wrong, her mom must never know

mutual disdain (affectionate)

Belle calls Cam “the capybara of guys”

I had an epic struggle with a super cucumber. Eventually I’m gonna get an aquarium, and then I’ll keep my nemesis imprisoned forever.

Erin didn’t use the minecarts because she’s gotta get her steps in, not because she forgot or anything

(we’ve all been forgetting the minecarts)

I secretly add windows to Belle’s house

Wizard wants wheat for a potion. ... he’s just making beer. Home-brewing makes sense as a wizard hobby, actually.

Emily learns that Belle has touched a piece of Cloth

oh hey, it’s the cutscene where Demetrius is a shitty overprotective parent!

I choose not to tell Maru, Belle immediately says she “didn’t know [I] hated women”

Getting a house upgrade!!

Belle is hotboxing with Linus in his tent

Belle is caught without her melons

I find a slime floor, or “slloor”

George wants a second opinion; I advise him to listen to Harvey, but also give him the hot pepper for his knee.

I get hit by a train (it didn’t hurt as much as I worried)

House got big!!

Erin limps into bed at the last second

Next time: Dance of the Moonlight Jellies! and Cam!

Belle emerging from her well to shame mankind

Summer 22:

Belle discusses “my husband”, or “musband”

Pompkin is in the field so he’s getting watered today

I will tell Belle why I wanted all that milk ... when we’re old and gray and I’m on grandpa’s shitty deathbed

I’m excited for Robin to show me her carpentry secrets, until she reveals it’s the drum and flute blocks; those things should stay secret

Cutscene where I’m given the (bad) choice to invite Linus to live on the farm; instead, I’m just pleased he’s doing well

TURBOCOWS

getting a big coop!

cleaned up my house a little bit so Penny can redecorate

Belle is out late talking to Clint, but I don’t know where Erin is— she “didn’t know there was a curfew” (there is no curfew)

Summer 23:

Belle gets mail calamari from Linus, and threatens to eat it in front of Pierre

Turbocows just needed more enrichment in their enclosure

Erin gets hat-surprised by my awful hat*, the worst kind of surprise (* - legally not a hat)

All of my pigs are grown! The reactor is online!

Pompkin sleeping in the kitchen? He do that sometimes.

Somebody sold a cherry bomb?? (how dare they)

Summer 24:

I wake up to a pirate themed house! (Penny takes her roleplaying too seriously)

She broke the sign with the prismatic jelly, though :(

Big coop! Increased bird capacity!

Pompkin likes the peppers

funny how the young pigs are sleek handsome lads, and then the adult pigs look like old mobsters

(Don’t investigate the pigs, you don’t wanna hurt their feelings)

Belle fills the extra hay capacity in the coop; Erin suggests it’s in case they get peckish

Cool hat party! I’m not invited :(

Slumber party! We gossip and do each other’s hair

Summer 25:

Lil Phil makes Cam crack a smile

Cam and Emily are engaged! There will be no wedding.

I really need to upgrade my axe, this one ... just isn’t cutting it.

awww yeah, three copper ore, my not-hat is paying off!

“Why grow trees in the desert instead of the quarry?” Well, where are we gonna grow our rocks?

So many truffles... I did brought this upon myself

Erin asked for a cactus and I delivered, I am so good at foraging

Erin didn’t make it to bed, RIP

(somewhere in here: comparing Sam to Bart Simpson)

Summer 26:

last night was a blur, apparently!

everybody gets oil, don’t ask what it’s for!

Birds get bird names, dinos get dino names! I don’t see what’s so hard to understand!

(somewhere in here: welcome, Utahraptor!)

Upgrading my axe...

Lewis comments on how slick the oil is......

oh hey, here’s the potato juice from when we failed to make enough for Pam!

I walk in on Dwarf and Krobus having a spat

I get an Iridium Sprinkler as a surprise for Erin but she ruins it by asking for one

(Belle can’t commit crimes if Cam is sitting down)

Summer 27:

house big!! I can have the babies!

truffle hidden behind the corn...

commissioned a fish pond; or “comfissioned", if you will

Abigail plays flute in the rain, Belle photobombs

little green guy is there in spirit; this is, actually, little green guy erasure

Emily and Haley threw out a perfectly good pufferfish

hey, five iron ore! suffering my not-a-hat is totally worth it!

Summer 28:

Five megabombs in a crate!

Cam ( @amanita-spore​ )

Erin ( @salamand3rin​ )

highlights include, but are not limited to:

me being late, SORRY EVERYBODY

@snacco​ presenting us with excellent Mutucule Fanart!

in my haste to get started (after having been late, SORRY), I didn’t read the notes

thank god somebody read the notes

“I didn’t know we had homework”

hops sprinkler

“I’m not saying that you fucked it, just, y’know, that you fucked it”

Cam climbing into my bed like “can you scooch over?”

yeah place the Silo anywhere, just don’t block anything with it

(can you imagine? what kind of moron idiot blocks things with a silo? couldn’t be me)

Everybody ready for the Luau? No sturgeons left behind!

Good news: The melons aren’t ripe yet, we don’t have to harvest them!

Bad news: The melons aren’t ripe yet, we still have to water them!

“aw beans” “no, melons.”

Going the long way around to the Luau

it’s too late, we’re committed

Haley catches me digging through the trash on the way there, but it’s okay, all crimes can be forgiven with Sturgeon Soup

we are almost late to the Luau due to Sewer-Ogling

Elliott is already leaving!!

(We are not late to the Luau)

imagine, frozen tear soup. crunchy. sebastian would love it.

Clint complains about there being nothing to do at the Luau but eat

Clint. Emily, the girl you like, is dancing. Go dance with her!!

Pierre attempts, once again, to capitalize on the festivities.

Plain torch? $700. Culturally appropriated totem poles? $1000.

I barely survive getting eaten by bats. My health bar is spraying blood everywhere!

First Fish Audit

Negotiations run late, I scooch into Cam’s bed

Goat milk from the cart! It could’ve been Barn Money, but, the Fish Audit can pay for that

Succumbing to the Bean Madness with inconsistently shaped coffee fields

my note here just says “I killed it, without mercy”— I don’t remember the full context and at this point I’m too afraid to ask

“the ants have accomplished more than you or I have”

Cam mysteriously throws carp at me!

DANK FISH MONEY

Belle hands me a flower. I immediately eat it.

Beach barn!

We’re short on wood for the Barn, so I go into the forest to freshly squeeze some more. But some wood is rustled up, and those trees died for nothing.

I burst into a spoken word rendition of They Might Be Giants’ song Cowtown.

(Cam wants to hear me sing. Not tonight!)

Belle is unaccustomed to villagers referring to her actual name

“How did it know??” stardew.exe creepypasta

I get the Penny cutscene where we’re cleaning up her trailer and her mom gets angry and embarrassed about it, Penny gets upset about her mom being drunk

the next day, Pam asks me to bring her a drink

On the way home, I join Shane for a Depression Drink

god, can you imagine an influencer Queen of Sauce? horrible

Belle(?) gets a psychedelic Emily cutscene! ... that doesn’t narrow it down, does it?

“You’re in her DMs, I’m in her psychedelic dreams. We are not the same.”

gather ‘round the campfire for the tale of ... schrodinge

Flirtation about giving somebody a spangle in the morning

field snack in the bin?

phew, it was Cam’s and he didn’t want to finish it. I was worried somebody was selling precious tree seeds

is there a mod to romance the Old Mariner?

I ask Erin if she can extend a wooden path. She proceeds to hand the paths to me ... one ... by ... one. Belle and Cam just stand and watch.

Cam put the sword in my chest. I am dead now.

I am blessed with a Pompkin! ... this is not an invitation. stay out of my house.

It’s Erin’s turn to die on the beach!

The barn is finally done, but Marnie is nowhere to be found!

I put some money in the community center’s vault, ‘cause it’s not like we need it for anything right now 🙂

Belle gets so nervous about having Cow Money that her internet dies, bringing the night to an end.

The Junimos did a special dance to fix the minecarts!

to-do:

cow!!!

more tool upgrades?

foraging for lightning rod

house upgrade?

save for fall crops

“No sturgeons left behind!”

erin wanting a callout post next

��get redheaded, idiot”

erin is on push-to-talk tonight, so don’t push her

getting stardew-blasted when I open the game

I can roll my Rs

“prove it” “no”

(ready to be hoisted)

Belle is trying her best, but it isn’t very good

... in my defense, it was very funny.

I ask if I can destroy Erin’s bespoke wooden paths

she says it’s okay, and that she’s on push-to-talk so I don’t even have to hear her cry about it

weird numbers of metals in the to-town bin??

to-do:

summer crops?

dare we attempt sturgeons??

actually upgrading a tool???

🐮????

Cam (@amanitaspore)

Erin (@salamand3rin)

Highlights include, but are not limited to:

Non-binary sheep!

Erin found the secret note tree and cut it down

Eggfest!

Cam wanders into the eggfest from the woods, still beats Erin there

It’s Fella’s first eggfest! aaand they don’t let him in.

Linus eyes a scrumptious pie

Marlon talks about sleggs

Evelyn wants to know about my hens

Leah misses last year’s boozy punch

Emily sewed little pants and hats for the eggs

Alex wonders what would happen if he ate thirty eggs every day

(he’d be roughly the size of a barge, obviously)

wilf (wizard I’d like to fuck) is nowhere to be seen

Surrounding Lewis and forcing him to start the egg hunt

What’s with all the unobtainable eggs, anyway?

I win the egg hunt with something like 9 eggs, just get 1,000g

Everybody trying to guilt me out of wearing my dumb hat*

* - legally not a hat

Cam brings cookies into my bed, getting crumbs everywhere

The pigs are getting everywhere, they’re above the law!

Embiggening the barn

Selling some of our excess gemeralds

I need to hunt down Penny and propose to her

Hey, can I borrow Fella?

“what’s the magic word?”

After hunting her down on horseback, Penny says yes! Wedding in three days!

Cam’s got a chest full of Fashion

I don’t carry a scythe around, but I do wear a copper pan, just in case

hey, do you think there was ever a version of the game where you could upgrade the copper pan into a steel pan? and then gold, and then iridium?

Erin stays up late to plant these parsnips, even if it kills her (it doesn’t, she’s fine)

it’s called parsnipment! commitment to the snips!

“I love milk as a condiment”

I’ve finished my chores, so I get to go pick berries in the woods now :)

Desynced strawbebbies :(

Hey suckers, guess who just got 2 free gold ore because of their “stupid hat” that is “legally not a hat”?? Who’s laughing now???

Cam invites people to play fashion roulette

Guess who just got 2 free copper ore??

All it cost was my dignity

Maybe if a scythe was a hat, I’d carry it around with me

... can Cam make clothes out a copper pan...? (no)

RIP Erin, collapsed in her own house.

Fella and Pompkin being incredibly cute together!! (see gallery)

The pigs keep digging up evidence truffles

(it’s such a good bit and we’re getting so much good mileage out of it)

Sergeant goes on an adventure!! (see gallery)

Accepting a quest to find a bunch of leeks for George

we’re worried about finding enough leeks in time, so Erin plants a bunch of spring wild seeds

incidentally: Belle consistently pronounces “George” as “Yorg” as a bit, it’s very good

Pompkin keeps spending a lot of time at Fella’s stables, it’s like they're roommates (oh my god they were roommates)

Day 17, I get married! (thanks to Erin for the wedding photos screenshots)

Wearing my stupid copper pan to my own wedding

Everybody can’t believe I made them all sit in the back

they’re glad I invited Linus, though

I was gonna try and wear Lewis’ lucky purple shorts (with slight modifications) but we didn’t have the cloth to pull it off ... but it wasn’t wearing my own clothes, anyway! Is there a rent-a-tux place in town, or what?

oh god it has short sleeves, it’s one of those t-shirts with a tux printed on it

Okay everybody, Penny is your new mom now

Detective is all grown!!

You kick Pompkin like the football???

Hey, crate on the beach! It contains ... omni geodes, that immediately fall into the water!

Please welcome Lieutenant to the family, they’re my wedding gift to myself

Oviraptor longs to be free, and cannot be contained!

It’s wednesday, so I run to joja in case we need to buy seeds, like the big joja fan that I am

Sam wants my input on what to write a song about. Trains, obviously.

Belle and Cam are talking about wrestling, and Erin asks about suplexes. suplexii? anyway, “they always deserve the suplex”

Rainy day! If Sebastian plays his cards right (by not doing much of anything),...

The Mariner rejects Belle’s request to buy a pendant, because she hasn’t upgraded her house yet

Belle concludes the Mariner is classist, and asks about how to upgrade her house

(Erin says something about “Rock and stone!” as a reference)

Cam said something about making a slime shirt, a slhirt

Belle puts in the order to improve her house, she’s gotta appease a probably-racist ghost

I tentatively make plans to crash at Cam’s place (after handing him a mussel) before remembering “oh shit I have a wife now” — either Erin or Belle offers to take care of that for me, I can’t remember which, Penny’s gonna wake up to a surprise

I’ve got magic leek hands, if you see any leeks you should let me know immediately so I can be the one to harvest them

Woolface the sheep!

Erin and I make an agreement where I get to pick the wild seeds (so I get the forage experience) IF I upgrade my watering can and trade with her, so she can get the upgrade without the downtime (I agree)

Free-range pigs, worshipping the meteor (see gallery)

I construct six bees. No more, no less.

Cool rings for everybody! Don’t turn them into fashion, they’re already fashion

Belle: “everybody’s a glow-boy now! look at my radius!”

ha-HA, more sparkles in the water! Except... I can’t reach! My hat* is defeated!

* - legally not a hat

Everybody piles into my bed, Penny is cranky about people getting in the way of her going to bed

Penny going “um nice weather” with everybody else the next day

Corporal is fully grown!

Belle asks if she can uses my kitchen to fry an egg — but she has her own stove now!!

Cam expected more from egg-shirt

yeah the bone mill, we’ve all seen it

Belle thought we had more bones, but alas, we are bonely

I snuck an ancient drum into Cam’s “to Fashion” chest, and it creates a “regal mantle” which “looks swood”

It matches my space boots! Kinda need new pants now though (see gallery)

On the non-canon day, I create a bunch of bombs and explode Erin

Cam hands us some jazz honey “because [we’re] sweet like honey” (see gallery)

TO-DO:

Flower dance, probably

Savin’ money for a rainy day...... (so Belle can try again)

do we wanna make it rain?

more backpack+tool upgrades??

Taller barn/coop/shed???

More hogs

Increased fences????

House upgrades!

Fashion!

More iridium sprinklers!

(more bundles)

More fruit trees!

Save up to buy stardrops from Krobus

technical delays. so many technical delays.

(four people across three time zones, it’s miraculous we get to play at all)

“get stardew blasted idiot”

(we all proceed to get Erin-blasted)

Summer on my farms means it’s time for Sturgeon Quest!

“this fish is a motherfucker, it’s probably a sturgeon”

summer 1, day 2 😎

while sturgeon quest is ongoing, the artists are left in charge of cropping the farm. somehow, it’s still the same size when we get back.

Erin might be suffering network connectivity problems

also finishing a pizza

might come back to find belle in your bed

(from here, the highlights get muddier, I didn’t take good notes and everything’s all jumbled up)

radishes really aren’t as radical as you’d hope

trash snack

I find an ancient doll, and deliver it to Gunther for disposal

putting it in the furthest corner of the museum so I don’t have to look at it

I accept a quest to kill dust sprites for the wizard

Linus wants frozen tears to place on his great-grandfather’s grave.

I have so many questions!!

Belle speculates about the ancient woods...

borrowing a pickaxe while mine is in the shop

my first crab pots catch a snail 🐌 :)

I fulfill the prophecy by digging a can of joja cola out of the trash in plain view of Sam, who then proceeds to gleefully drink it.

(I just remembered, Sam put up a quest asking for gold bars, lmao)

We keep talking about building a silo, and then not doing it

I was just minding my own business replanting the tree farm when Erin walks up with a cherry bomb and blows up my hard work

at first she’s apologetic, but later changes her mind and stands by it: those trees were a menace (to movability)

“t’erin’ism”

(this is her callout post)

borrowing an axe while mine is in the shop

I can’t hand it back directly, so I put the axe in Belle’s chest

clearing out the big stumps

taking a nap in Cam’s bed to regain energy while clearing out big stumps

going to put a cockle in the community center

huh. also wants a clam.

uncle clam wants you

and possibly more!!

to-do:

finish removing the big stumps so we can expand the farm

silo, so we can cut the grass without feeling like we’re wasting all of it

barn??

probably getting cows first 🐮

luau???

and maybe someday all we’ll sell the fish
