Finally putting my Stardew Valley AU on paper.

Hargrave is obviously in the place of Klint, the war veteran who arrives after the farmer. In this version, Hargrave's discharge is due to injury and unfounded (and untrue) suspicion of leaking secrets. Not the way this lifelong military man thought his illustrious career would end.

But after recovery, and aided by the understanding and companionship of the farmer, he discovers community life has its merits too, and dedicates his leadership experience to rallying the town in support of the efforts to restore the Community Center. Perhaps there is still more he can offer, even when his original source of pride has been entirely squashed.

#pheidippides branches out #armello #armello hargrave #hargrave proudclaw #stardew valley au #armello au #traditional art #yeah i did this on a post it note #but it also turned out pretty good despite it being my first trial in drawing plausible mobility aids #He would start out on cheap axillary crutches borrowed from the town doctor #because his only other option at first is getting around via wheelchair and he doesn't want to look or feel disabled #what can I say? the Proudclaw is defined by his pride and self-image #Later as he integrates into the community the doctor has the idea to try out forearm crutches since they allow for greater mobility #and naturally Mr. Proudclaw likes the idea because they're a bit less eyecatching as well #by the end of the story he does try a prosthetic-cane pairing but has come to like his forearm crutches and his new life #so he saves the prosthetic for special occasions similar to how one would save a tie or a nice jacket- too much effort for his daily life
