I'm sorry but "Address: Afterlife" has to be the most hilarious way to describe someone being dead

This is canon btw

Nan and Pop in their golden years 🥹🫶

I’ve been having lots of thoughts about these two. Aggie is a fire cracker of a woman and Pàdraig is that of a gentle giant. There was a lot of love shared between these two, and even more nearing Aggies passing. This is unfortunately the only version of Aggie Cal remembers.

Plus a itty bitty Callum in rain boots as a treat :)

For what little lore we get in Stardew Valley, I thought of a possible origin story for Joja Corp (and why Grandpa knew The Farmer would get burnt out working there.)

Grandpa knew all about Joja Corp: how it started, and what it eventually became.

Grandpa and Lewis were friends with the founder, Mr. Joja. Joja had big dreams of starting a business and seeing the world. A lot of people doubted him, but his friends encouraged him. And one day (after alot of failed attempts) - he made the very first formula for Joja Cola. And it sold like hotcakes in Stardew Valley and the Calico Desert. Soon enough, he got investors' attention and he was able to sell his sweet, energizing drinks around the world.

The business grew larger than anyone could imagine. Joja opened up his first stores and sold more than just cola - he included food, medicine, and other essentials all in one place. And people enjoyed the convenience of a one-stop shop, along with lower prices.

But as the business continued to grow, things changed little by little. Stores remained open for longer hours. Employees were getting fewer raises. Local stores that couldn't compete with Joja Mart had to close their doors. And pollution went unchecked as more factories were built to keep up with demand.

Despite the problems, Mr. Joja felt like he made it big and that's all that mattered.

As time went on, Mr. Joja married and had a son, who he was teaching to be his successor in the business. He hadn't been back to Stardew Valley since he left decades ago, but it seems he still carries some fond memories of the place. It's the one plot of nearby land that wasn't been marked for future development. He also still had a framed photo of his best friends alongside another photo of his family sitting on his desk.

Mr. Joja passed away in his sleep at home, with his last thoughts being of his old home in Stardew Valley, and everything he left behind. Mr. Joja had regrets that he couldn't do it all over again and raise his son differently. He saw the error of his ways far too late to do anything about it.

A day after his funeral, the Founder's Son took over the company, and was even more profit-driven than his father. He wanted a taste of all the finer things in life and would do anything to get them, even if it meant ignoring safety and environmental laws to pad his bottom line.

One of the new CEO's first orders of business was to build a Joja Mart in Stardew Valley, as a way of expanding the company's reach into the countryside. He claims this was to "bring them into the modern age." The CEO hires his cousin, Morris to manage the store in Stardew Valley once it's built, and promises to let him on the Board of Directors if all goes well.

In the present day, the Farmer talks to Lewis in the saloon as they're settling into town. The mayor reminisces about "the good old days," talking about his good friends. He confirms that Grandpa was happy to spend his final days in the farmhouse, surrounded by friends and relatives. But Lewis also shakes his head in shame when he talks about Mr. Joja, and wonders how his dream turned into a nightmare.

my favourite part of baldurs gate so far is the stardew valley grandpa showing up to eat cheese in your camp and tell gale that his ex gf wants him to kill himself

I see a lot of people clowning on the people of Pelican Town for not repairing the community center themselves or clowning on Lewis for embezzling and. like. Those criticisms aren't entirely unfair. But I think instead of coming at it from a perspective of "why can't the townspeople do this" we should be asking "why and how can the farmer do this?"

Like. Think about it. The farmer arrives in Stardew Valley on the first day of spring. By the first day they're obviously different. By day five the spirits of the forest who haven't been seen by the townsfolk in years or generations are speaking to them. By the second week they've developed a rapport with the wizard that lives outside town.

In the spring they go foraging and find more than even Linus, who's spent so many years learning the ways of the valley. Maybe he knows, when he sees them walking back home. Maybe he looks at them and understands that they're different, chosen somehow.

In the summer they fish in the lakes and the ocean for hours on end, catching fish that even Willy's only ever heard of, fish that he thought were the stuff of legend. They pull up giants from the deep and mutated monstrosities from the sewers.

In the fall, their crops grow incredibly immense; pumpkins twice as tall as a person, big enough that someone could live inside. The farmer cuts it down with an axe without even batting an eye. Does Lewis wonder, when he checks the collection bin that night and finds it full to the brim with pumpkin flesh? What does he think? Does he even leave the money? Does he have the funds to pay the farmer millions of dollars for the massive amounts of wine they sell? Or is it someone--something--else entirely?

In the winter, the farmer delves into the mines. No one in Pelican Town has been down there in decades. No one in living memory has been to the bottom. The farmer gets there within the season. They return to the surface with stories of dwarven ruins and shadow people, stories they only tell to Vincent and Jas, whose retellings will be dismissed by the adults as flights of fancy. People walking by the entrance to the mines sometimes hear the farmer in there, speaking in a language no one can understand. Something speaks back.

The farmer speaks to the the wizard. They speak to the spirit of a bear inside a centuries-old stone. They speak to the shadow people and the dwarves, ancient enemies, and they try to mend the rift. They speak to the Junimos, ancient spirits of the forest and the river and the mountain. They taste the nectar of the stardrops and speak to the valley itself. They change Pelican Town, and they change the valley. Things are waking up.

And what does Evelyn think? She's the oldest person in the valley; she was here when the farmer's grandfather was young. (How old *is* she, anyway? She never seems to age. She doesn't remember the year she was born.) Does she see the farmer and think of their grandfather? Does she try to remember if he was like this too, strange and wild and given the gifts of the forest?

And does their grandfather haunt the valley? He haunts the farm, still there even after his death; his body died somewhere else, but his spirit could never stay away for long. Does Abigail, using her ouija board on a stormy night, almost drop the planchette when she realizes it's moving on its own? Does Shane, walking to work long before anyone else leaves their house, catch glimpses of a wispy figure floating through the town? Does the farmer know their grandfather came back to the place they both love so much?

Mr. Qi takes interest in the farmer. He's different, too; in a different way, maybe, but the principles are the same. They're both exceptional, and no matter what Qi says about it being hard work and dedication, they both know the truth: the world bends around the both of them, changing to fit their needs. Most people aren't visited by fairies or witches. Most people don't have meteorites crash in their yard. Most people couldn't chop down trees all day without a break or speak to bears and mice and frogs.

The farmer is different. The rules of the world don't work for them the way they work for everyone else. The farmer goes fishing and finds the stuff of fairy tales. The farmer goes mining and fights shadow beasts and flying snakes. The farmer looks at paths the townspeople walk every day and finds buried in the dirt relics of lost civilizations.

The farmer is a violent, irrepressible miracle, chosen by the valley and destined to return to it someday. Even if they'd never received the letter, they would've come home.

They always come home eventually.
