Curate, connect, and discover
I don't like how the birthdays from stardew valley are set up in the real world. Like most of December is in the fall according to the solstice but Sebastian's birthday is winter 10 and we've decided it's December 10th.
Nah, let's give all the characters accurate birthdays in accordance with the seasons.
I'll set it up 2 ways:
1. Taking the earliest dates of each solstice and equinox that defines the seasons and dividing that by 28 (number of days in a stardew valley season) then multiplied that number by the NPC's bday (I'll explain the math later)
2. Taking the average amount of days in-between each IRL season and dividing that by 28
Earliest dates are as follows:
Spring March 19
Summer June 20
Autumn September 21
Winter December 20
The length of each season in this method is
91 days for spring
93 days for summer
90 days for fall
90 days for winter
The average days in between is 91.5 days.
Dividing by 28 we get
3.25 Spring
3.32142857 Summer
3.2142857 Autumn / Winter
3.267857142857143 Average
These numbers are the difference between our real world dates and stardew valley dates
Our season are about 90 days long, their's are 28 days so
1 day for stardew players is about 3 days for us.
Now that we have these numbers let's find out how each day correlates to each villager.
It will be in order of earliest birthday to latest and will follow this format
NPC-Season-ingame Bday-Bday(method 1)-Bday(method 2)
Kent- Spring 4- Apr 1
Lewis- Spring 7- Apr 10
Vincent- Spring 10- Apr 20
Haley- Spring 14- May 3
Pam- Spring 18- May 16
Shane- Spring 20- May 23
Pierre- Spring 26- Jun 11
Emily- Spring 27- Jun 14- Jun 15
Jas- Summer 4- Jul 3
Gus- Summer 8- Jul 16
Maru- Summer 10- Jul 23- Jul 22
Alex- Summer 13- Aug 2- Aug 1
Sam- Summer 17- Aug 15- Aug 14
Demetrius- Summer 19- Aug 22- Aug 21
Dwarf- Summer 22- Sep 1-Aug 30
Willy- Summer 24- Sep 7- Sep 6
Leo- Summer 26- Sep 14- Sep 12
Penny- Autumn 2- Sep 27
Elliott- Autumn 5- Oct 7
Jodi- Autumn 11- Oct 26
Abigail- Autumn 13- Nov 1- Nov 2
Sandy- Autumn 15- Nov 8- Nov 9
Marnie- Autumn 18- Nov 17- Nov 18
Robin- Autumn 21- Nov 27- Nov 28
George- Autumn 24- Dec 7- Dec 8
Krobus- Winter 1- Dec 23
Linus- Winter 3- Dec 29
Caroline- Winter 7- Jan 11
Sebastian- Winter 10- Jan 21
Harvey- Winter 14- Feb 2- Feb 3
Wizard- Winter 17- Feb 12- Feb 13
Evelyn- Winter 20- Feb 22- Feb 23
Leah- Winter 23- Mar 3- Mar 5
Clint- Winter 26- Mar 13- Mar 14
If there is only one date on the NPC that means both dates are the same
I'd like to thank @cloverbug83 for helping with the math.
TL:DR The dates in stardew valley are incorrect and I updated them according to IRL seasons.
Elliott grew up wanting to be Westley from The Princess Bride.
Hiiii Mousey! (✿^‿^) How are you right now? Hope you're doing well there.
Anywho, I had this idea while on a car ride, listening to some band songs. I had to write it down right away before I forgot it. I don't know if anyone has ever sent this to you before, but What if the farmer used to be a popular and famous singer, but because of the stress from fame and the number of stalkers they encountered, they decided to resign/quit and move to the valley to start anew, hoping no one would recognize them. However, one day, the farmer accidentally blurts out their secret to their NPC spouse and this made the farmer very worried. Now, here's the thought: How would the SDV&SVE Bachelors/Bachelorettes react to finding out that their farmer spouse was once a famous, popular singer? 🎤🎸
Hey hey 👋 I'm fine, a bit busy due to work (December is always a pretty busy month for me) but so doing pretty well, thanks for asking ❤️
Ooooh, your idea as an alternative start for Farmer arriving in the Stardew Valley, love it! Thanks for the ask, and have a good day!
SDV/SVE bachelors/ettes with Farmer as a former famous singer
Even with the changed clothing style and new hair colour, Sam recognised Farmer as a famous singer almost instantly before Farmer blabbed about their past career. You bet, because Sammy is not only a music lover, but also a big fan of this musical group! He will shower Farmer with questions and autograph requests, but the joyful guitarist immediately restrains himself, remembering that a reaction like his is one of the reasons why the singer left the band. Sam apologises to Farmer and gives them some space. He in no way wanted to make his own lover uncomfortable.
"Wow... That's so cool." Sebastian is also pleasantly surprised about the fact that Farmer who came to Stardew Valley is the same singer from his favourite alternative rock band who left due to many cases of stalking. However, emo's own reaction is very calm, with adoration and admiration in his eyes, but no obsession. He knows that his beloved Farmer is a human being just like him and respects their feelings. Seeing that Farmer didn't want to talk about their past, Sebastian swears to them that he won't tell anyone about it.
Elliott stared at Farmer in surprise, eagerly waiting for an answer. Now the writer realised why he'd always thought he'd seen/heard Farmer somewhere before! Truthfully, instead of continued delight, Elliott was silenced by the look of weariness and sadness on his partner's face. He heard about Farmer as singer, but was completely unaware of the reason for their departure from show business. He would make a hundred apologies, assuring them that if Farmer didn't want to tell them, he would respect their wishes. Of course, Elliott's curiosity will torture him a little, but for him, his spouse's happiness comes first.
"Okay." No, Farmer was certainly glad that their husband Shane didn't jump madly around them like their fans in Zuzu City, but they'd expected, well, a more reaction than that. "You want me to try to rip the hair out of your head like those 'fans'?" Fair enough. Shane himself isn't much of a music lover, but Jas loved listening to Farmer on TV, and she was the one upset to tell Shane that her favourite singer had been bullied many times and they'd left. He's glad Farmer was able to escape that madness and there's no way his attitude towards them is going to change.
Alex nearly dropped his ice cream cone in surprise. "I always do the training to your songs! They give me so much motivation!" Farmer explained to their enthusiastic husband that although their songs were motivational and upbeat, Farmer themself wrote everything under constant stress due to pressure from managers and fear due to obsessive fans. Alex had no idea how bad it was and hugged Farmer tightly, covering them with kisses. The athlete himself will keep Farmer's anonymity (though he will sometimes squeak with delight inside, because wow, his spouse is so cool!).
Harvey had noticed Farmer's very familiar first and last name long ago when he entered their patient data into medical database, but had taken it simply as a coincidence. Even as spouses he didn't know the truth when he didn't mention this funny coincidence, to which Farmer had casually said they were than singer, not the namesake. The doctor's reaction was calm, and he assured Farmer that he understood why they hadn't told him the truth, and promised that their secret would not be revealed.
"I know, dear..." Farmer thought Victor would be shocked, as they knew their hubby is fan of their songs, but in the end it was Farmer who stood there with a surprised look. The spaghetti lover with his hunches found out information on the internet that helped him connect the dots, but he didn't want to confront his spouse on the subject, fearing that Farmer would mistake Victor for the same awful people who called themselves "true fans." Both spouses would have a long talk, sharing the truth. Victor made his own promise that he wouldn't tell anyone about Farmer's past career.
"Do you remember that when we first met, I told you I'd seen a part of your past?" And after those words, Farmer realised that Magnus had known about their singing career from the beginning. Why didn't he ask? It was none of his business to pry into their past, and if his lover wanted to tell they would. The wizard can't even imagine just living in an urban setting, so with a bunch of people following you around and interfering with your life. He also feels sorry that they associate Farmer's singing with bad emotions, because they have such a beautiful voice and are obviously happy when they are singing a song in the forest.
It seems Lance had heard of Farmer as a singer a few years ago when he arrived in Zuzu City as an ambassador from his clan. Many people were jumping in excitement about Farmer's new song, but the gallant adventurer genuinely understands why they left. Sometimes people can go overboard in their obsession with their idols. Of course, he will keep their secret, and if any of the fans show up on the doorstep of their farmhouse, Lance has promised his spouse to protect them and teleport the unwanted guests (first just away, and then - into a pile of manure if they get pushy).
"You mean... Wait, really?" Honestly, Maru hadn't expected this turn of events. The young inventor had heard Farmer's songs spinning on the radio, even though she wasn't a strong fan of their music genre ("Sorry hon"). After Farmer decided there was nothing to hide and shared about their career and the reason for their retirement, Maru was horrified. So the scar on Farmer's arm was put there... by fans?! That's terrible. Maru consoled her spouse as best she could and promised to keep their secret.
Farmer realised what they'd said out loud and lightning-fast covered their already excited Abigail's mouth with their hand, who had said more than once that she was a big fan of this particular singer (Farmer, as it turned out). Before the purple-haired girl could do anything about it, her spouse dragged her away from one spot and explained why they were leaving. "Oh shit... Those people are just bastards." And she herself had almost blabbed to the whole town know about... "You okay, love?" Farmer is much better since they have found happiness and family in Stardew Valley.
Penny is completely shocked to discover that her spouse is the one and only nationally famous singer. Farmer and their new look was completely unrecognisable. But not even just a new image, but they're much happier. The young teacher has heard many stories that under the pressure of managers and the crazy crowd Farmer was seen more like zombie. She was sorry to hear that her spouse had been through all that, and glad that they had found happiness and peace here, with her.
Haley already had some suspicions, as Farmer was not only the namesake of her favourite singer, but also looked similar, but did not voice her guesses aloud. When her lover had accidentally blabbed about this, and had already decided to reveal their secret on such an occasion, Haley just thanked them for their trust in her. Previously, she would not have understood how it is possible to give up the glamorous life of a beloved pop star, but she realised that life with dependence on caffeine, under the fear of crazy fans and people who are only interested in money from concerts, is not a life but a living hell.
Emily's eyes shone with joy at what she heard. Her wonderful spouse was that talented singer, whose songs the blue-haired girl loved to dance to on Valley's festivals and at other times when she felt full of energy. However, immediately she became sad, as she knew why the singer left the stage, so many toxic people and negative aura around them were... Emily in no way wants Farmer to think she's like one of those fans either, and promised to keep their secret.
Well, Leah guessed, since besides the similarity in appearance and the fact that the last name and surname of her spouse and singer are the same, Farmer came almost as soon as they left their singing career. Aloud she did not voice it, as she considered it unnecessary to "pry" from her spouse the truth and understood where such paranoia in keeping the secret. Hundreds or even thousands of people, like her ex, or even worse, who follow you... Brrr! She comforted Farmer and assured them that she would take their secret to the grave. And if someone does find out, she has plenty of sculpting tools to fend off her spouse from the "fans"...
So Lewis telling Olivia about Farmer being a former clerk at Joja was just a cover so people wouldn't recognise them? Makes sense, or else her and Farmer's home would be overflowing with crazy fans carousing for their idol. Although Olivia herself isn't much of a fan of their music style, her spouse's voice is truly beautiful when she listened them. City life, especially for a famous person, can get very exhausting, so Olivia truly understands their secrecy and reluctance to discuss the past. And yes, she will keep that secret, promise 💖
"Wait, is it true? You really are-" Scarlett jumped up on the spot, not believing her ears. Her dearest Farmer is the famous lead singer from her favourite music band! She loves listening to their albums while she's busy sewing a new costume for the comicon and- wait. The same singer who quit their career because of crazy 'fans'. "Oh, man.... I'm sorry, I didn't mean-" Even though Farmer assures her it's okay, Scarlet feels a little shitty because they were standing in the middle of a public square in the city, and if anyone heard her joyful shriek.
Of course, Claire raised her eyebrows in surprise as Farmer told her that they had worked as an accountant at Joja before, and here was a whole five year career as a singer, and such a talented and popular one at that. It was only when the cashier wanted to question why her spouse had hidden it that she recalled the "incident" with fans that almost cost Farmer their life. "I'm sorry about that..." Still, Claire is glad Farmer was able to get away from it all and found happiness in farming.
Sophia's eyes widened slightly in surprise and the dots connected in her head. Her lover came to Stardew Valley at the same time as the famous and much-loved singer (whose song played in her favourite anime!) retired. The girl is sorry to hear that Farmer had to endure so many horrible incidents in their career as a singer, as breaking into their home or fans trying to kidnap them despite the security.... She dreaded to imagine what it had been like for them. Sophia, instead of jumping for joy that it's one of her favourite singers, silently hugs Farmer.
Hiii, mousey! (◕ᴗ◕✿)
I heard you're planning to take a break from requests, and it's understandable. But I hope I'm not too late to send this idea. You know the assassin fanfic I requested before? The one about how the mages and adventurers react to the Farmer's past as a runaway assassin. Well, I thought it would be interesting to see how the SDV Bachelors would react if they discovered their spouse is a former assassin who now wants to lead a peaceful life.
(I was suppose to send this to you early but I got sidetrack, it'll be like my last request by the time you take a break but its okay if you don't want to.)
Heya! 👋
I got your question right after the askbox was closed, so yeah, have some more headcanons for this interesting idea, and thanks for the ask! 💖
_________________________________________
...So the news that Shane saw on TV crime program about this criminal gang.... Was it connected to Farmer? It was all about contract killings, blackmail and robberies, and... Recruiting kids. And his friend was one of them. No, he's not blaming them. Come to think of it, if Shane was in a similar situation, he'd do anything to protect his niece and aunt. So it's not for him to judge Farmer. He's glad they were able to escape those bastards and their siblings are safe now.
Elliott was at a loss for words. The poet couldn't imagine that Farmer had to go through all this to keep themself and their siblings alive. That being said, this is the first time he won't hold back and say some not-so-polite words in the direction of these scumbags who robbed Farmer of their parents and threatened their relatives with reprisals. If Farmer needs support, let them feel free to stop by his humble cabin, or if they need to watch over their siblings.
Farmer and Sebastian sat by the mountain lake for a long time while the local emo listened to their story, which gave him goosebumps. Just like that, murdered in cold blood right in front of Farmer's eyes? And then... they had to do their dirty work or else their younger siblings would be killed too? What a piece of crap, these criminal scumbags. Sebastian admires Farmer's selflessness and bravery. But also... it's all good now, right? No mobs again, right?
As Farmer's siblings played with Vincent, Sam stood nearby with Farmer, his eyes wide open about his friend's past, which makes the blood run cold in musician's veins. The fact that they'd had to be in a criminal gang at such a young age... That's rough, he's sorry to hear that. Now every time Sammy sees Farmer's siblings running and laughing, the musician can't get it out of his head what kind of suffering their older sibling endured.
Alex's body was filled with rage. Not towards Farmer, of course, they were victimized by these bastards, who the athlete would have given a good punch in the face with his fist. But he can't understand why Farmer's parents got involved in the mob in the first place, having kids already. Didn't they realize they were risking not only themselves but their family?! He didn't mean say that, Farmer, it's just- Why should children suffer because of their parents' mistakes?
There were so many scars on Farmer's body when Harvey did the medical exam, even before they became adventurers. And the fact that all those scars were "punishment" from the mob's members... The doctor's hands were shaking. Farmer and their siblings were innocent children, they didn't deserve to be in constant fear. Harvey just hugged Farmer, silently. He's sorry for what happened to them, and will be relieved to say that he's once for Farmer and their quest to escape the cage and save the younger siblings.
Wheeezes! Their reactions are so hilarious. 😂 Imagine if the adventurers and including Camila or Jadu visiting the Farmer for some favors and notice the huge ass smiling blueberry with sunglasses in the farm.
A random thought, during the Mr. Qi's Crop Challenge (you know the one were you have to plant and shipped 500 Qi Beans) how will the SDV/SVE Bachelors gonna react to their lover (the Farmer) planting this weird looking crop that looks like a blueberry with sunglasses across the farm fields. 😂
Ah, Qi beans... Probably my least favourite quest, because spending a whole month growing this stuff, and also getting these fucking beans instead of cool gifts in chests or fish.... Ugh. Oh well, sorry for that 😅
Even though this fruit is annoying to me, the ask itself regarding the reactions of others to it is pretty funny, hee hee. Thanks for the ask, and enjoy! 🫰💖
_________________________________________
SDV/SVE bachelors react to the Qi fruit:
"Looks creepy..... And cool, by the way. What did you do to make them grow like that?" Sebastian's spouse is a virtuoso at growing all sorts of unusual crops, and he thinks it's a mega cool ability. Just a week ago they ate a salad made from an 'ancient fruit', and the day before yesterday they cut up a giant mushroom crop that was the size of a large pumpkin (even though Sebby's doesn't like shrooms, it was still cool!). Now it's the weird fruit with sunglasses. He wonder what unusual plant Farmer will grow tomorrow...
"Oh, I know! Are those fruits and vegetables that grow in different shapes?" Sam recently watched a video about gardeners who grow square watermelons or tomatoes in the shape of hearts using plastic moulds. So the guitarist reckoned his spouse had decided to join the trend too. A strange choice, yeah, but hey - bonus for cool sunglasses! And what does this 'Qi' fruit taste like? Looks like a giant blue melon, Sammy wouldn't mind a tasty snack. Anyway, he doesn't know much about gardening himself, so he'll leave that to Farmer.
"Did you buy sunglasses for every fruit you grow or what?" And tell us, dear Alex - why would your beloved Farmer do that? These things maybe look like sunglasses, but are hardly sunglasses. But who knows? It's definitely an unfamiliar fruit for an athlete, especially compared to what his grandmother Evelyn used to grow in the community garden all the time. But if it's edible and full of vitamins (no), then Alex doesn't really care about the look of the Qi fruit. "Hey, even if this tastes awful, we'll have plenty of pairs of sunglasses!"
"That's some ugly ass fruit right here. Do people really eat that stuff now?" Truth be told, while working at JojaMart, Shane had managed to see stranger products labelled as 'novelty'. This applied not only to obscure sauces and snacks of dubious origin, but also to fruits and vegetables. The blue colour of the "Qi" fruit Farmer grew generally gave Shane the idea that his spouse had purchased the seeds just from Joja.co. It looked strange, but Shane didn't even mind tasting it. If it's edible at all. This fruit certainly doesn't get any worse than Joja's 'special' sauce for nachos, of that he's sure.
"Honey, are you sure it's safe to eat?" Every time another crop of obscure origin ripens on the farm, Harvey's heart begins to pound with worry. What if it's poisonous? What if it's not handled properly and you could get food poisoning? Why is it such a strange shape? "Farmer, please..." The poor doctor goes through all the books on vegetables, fruits and berries, hoping to find some information about this Qi fruit and whether it's okay to eat it (spoiler - to no avail). Either it's another "healthy" product from Joja or something else. Either way, Harvey will be sceptical, to say the least.
"...If I understand correctly, my soul, this is our dinner for today?" Elliott could have sworn the fruit had just winked at him! The writer had heard that some farmers and gardeners deliberately grow their crops in a variety of shapes to make them look extravagant and sell them for more money, but... Of all the shapes, his spouse chose the face... But maybe that's the kind of crop that's in high demand on market right now. Elliott hoped that if they were to bake strudel with this 'Qi' fruit today, it would taste better than it looked. Also... sunglasses?
"Hmm, I wonder... Where exactly did you get those seeds, my love?" It is not appropriate for Lance to judge the strange crop that Farmer has grown, when the adventurer himself has a monster crop ripening in a corner on the farm, with an appearance similar to a huge eyeball. Nevertheless, this strange fruit arouses a share of suspicion in the pink-haired man. Something is not right here.... If his dear spouse doesn't mind, Lance would also like to take a look at this fruit, for he is very curious to know if this crop has any magical properties. Or anything that might threaten him or Farmer.
"This... thing is unnatural. What in the name of all spirits did you grow this abomination from?" Magnus's whole gut screams that this is not just a fruit, but the spawn of a dangerous mage or witch. Thin threads of dark magic emanate from this fruit, and the wizard certainly doesn't like Farmer being in contact with that magic. "Eat it? Absolutely not! And is it even edible?" A worried Magnus questions his spouse about who gave them these seeds and why. Hearing the name 'Qi', he sighs heavily. Mr. Qi. Of course... This name definitely promises a lot of chaos for everyone.
"Erm... That's wonderful, darling! You've managed to grow this, um... What's it called again?" Victor had spent two whole days in the town library and looked all sorts of books at home - not a single mention, about this mysterious 'Qi fruit'. It's not, to tell the truth, the strangest thing Farmer grew in their fertile fields (monster crops will always be at the top of the list for strangeness. Especially the one with the giant eyeball). Maybe it's some new fruit his spouse has discovered? Victor is sure the Farmer knows what they're doing. But yeah, he's supportive.
I’ve seen these kinds of things everywhere, and decided to try it out myself! This took so long to make, but I feel like it is able to showcase everything! Created on Procreate and Canva my beloved. Hope folks enjoy!!
Base template by u/mairland on reddit!! :D
We have confirmation that Linus came from a wealthy family, but put this life aside, donating his money to various charities and organizations to help others, and I like to imagine that he still enjoys working with these charities from time to time, whether this be shelter work, environmental care, or supporting other people!
Willy never had children, but took in Elliot as his own, teaching him everything he would need to know regarding the seas, and quickly takes in Farmer as well, after learning about their love for fishing.
Gus is a trans guy! I don't have any evidence for this, but I just adore Gus so much and need this in my life.
Gunther is a long-time DM, and runs a small group with some of the local teens, and maybe some of the adults! I feel like his fascination of antiques and old treasures has assisted his DMing skills, or possibly the other way around!
Kent has learned how to sew, knit, and garden in order to get closer with Jodi and the kids once he returned to Pelican Town. (He's trying to be a better dad, he already is such a good guy :])
Mr. Qi is quite close with both Sandy and Gus, considering them friends!
Pierre was a college dropout, yet still considers himself a "man of study", I'm sorry, I just can't see this man as anything but an arrogant asshole.
The Wizard is incredibly supportive of the queer folks in the town, and Farmer, and will offer help with anything. Gender change? He's got you. Voice manipulation? He's got the stuff. Just be careful if he invites you to share a pipe!
Marlon and the Wizard are the local salty gay couple, Statler and Waldorf style, and lurk in the back during the flower dance, taking the last dance for themselves.
Pam loves thrifting and going on antiquing sprees with Harvey, and she knows how to absolutely steal a deal, girlie would most definitely punch an old woman over an auction item.
This is all I have atm, but if you want more, please let me know!! I love making stupid little theories for the glorbos. :]
This man is my personal little skrimblo, my grunkle if you will, so I have decided to compile my personal headcannons for him here for you folks!
His personal comfort show is Over the Garden Wall, I can imagine him listening to the soundtrack while he builds :]
He struggles with C-PTSD and RSD, which is possibly canon? Hinted at HEAVILY in his higher friendship/marriage dialogues. I just need him to know it’s gonna be okay ;-;
He enjoys antiquing and thrifting! I feel like he would heavily enjoy the pre-loved items, however making sure to properly cleaning them before he puts them away!
There is absolutely no evidence to prove this, but I feel like he would, or has collected coins. Really not sure why, I just feel like this fits him quite well.
Mentioned this in my last Harvey appreciation post, but I feel like he would be asexual or possibly demisexual! This might also be your local ace wanting more rep, but I get a strong vibe from this man.
He has a fear of getting tattoos. Both the commitment of having something on his body for so long, the risk of infection, and the fear of the actual process worry him, however he hopes to get one to represent Farmer soon :3
Harvey loves bugs. Another one I don’t have any evidence for, but I can just imagine him sitting on a bench outside with a little guy on his hand while he reads, or flipping over stones to make sure the pill bugs are doing well. (Also, he seems like the kind of person who had a bug hyperfixation, coming from someone with one)
He doesn’t know any instruments fluently per say, but he finds the mandolin to be a fun, and good instrument to play around with, especially learning songs for farmer!
He has a complex understanding of the International Phonetic Alphabet, and will go on happy rambles about etymology if farmer inquires! He is a doctor after all, and lots of medical terminology is based in latin, which has a deep connection with the IPA so this would make sense!
He is terrified of dogs, specifically small dogs. They just seem too evil and ill-intended, he cannot understand why these little goblins must be so aggressive, which is honestly valid
Anyways, that’s all i’ve got for now, but more coming soon possibly?? If folks want, I can do my headcannons for other characters as well!! Enjoy my friends :3
FLUFF ALPHABET W/ SAM — STARDEW VALLEY
SUMMARY: The Fluff Alphabet by @snk-warriors featuring Sam!
CONTAINS: sfw, gn! reader, fluff, established relationship
NOTES: My second favorite bachelor, I love this fcking guy <3
A = Activities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?
Sam really enjoys playing the guitar for you! And if you play too, even better! He loves having jam sessions together.
B = Beauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?
Sam loves your lips and eyes. He loves that your eyes can be so cute or so seductive, and that your lips always look so kissable.
C = Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?
Hugging is Sam’s go-to for comforting someone. He’s a very good hugger. He’ll hold you close and let you hide in his chest. He’s not always good with words so he’ll take to petting your head while reminding you that you’re okay and safe.
D = Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?
He likes the idea of being your rocker boyfriend/husband; having you along for the ride as he tours or in the studio when recording a new song. After that, he’s sure he wants to be a dad and raise a family with you!
E = Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?
He’s neither dominant nor passive. He respects you and your work and hopes you do as well! He never wants to intrude on your work and he’ll only help if you ask him to.
F = Fight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?
He hates arguing. He avoids it at all costs. If you start arguing, he’ll roll over like a dog and apologize, saying he was wrong (even if he wasn’t—something he’s working on). After you’ve had some space from each other, he’s the first to apologize, coming up behind you with a hug and kissing your neck and shoulders. Try as you might, it’s so hard to stay mad at him!
G = Gratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?
It’s not something he dwells on too often. Not that he isn’t grateful—he is!—but the thought doesn’t really cross his mind. When he does, he gets a big, goofy grin on his face when he thinks about all the ways he’s grateful for you and your life together. He feels like the people in his life don’t take him seriously, except you and he’s grateful for that.
H = Honesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?
Sam is a very honest person! He’s always had trouble lying to his mother. He doesn’t really do anything worth lying about either and he’s very open. He’s likely to forget to tell you about something but he’d never keep anything from you intentionally, unless he thought it was in your best interest that he did.
I = Inspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?
You’ve both changed each other in different ways! Sam has taught you to have more patience and you’ve helped Sam to be more organized. You’ve helped people to see that he’s not an immature kid anymore but a responsible young man with a sense of humor.
J = Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?
He rarely ever gets jealous—he trusts you with his whole being! But if he does, he doesn’t get mad or anything but he starts getting really clingy and physically affectionate. More than usual.
K = Kiss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?
He was ready to kiss you the minute you entered your relationship. While he is a good kisser, he is also sloppy. Your first kiss together was a little intense because he kissed you like a man starved. It wasn’t planned either so he definitely tasted like pizza or cola.
L = Love Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?
Like any desirable man, he sneaks you through his bedroom window and hides you from the prying eyes of his mother.
M = Marriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?
Sam doesn’t feel one way about marriage. He’d be happy as your boyfriend or as your husband! But if he were to… he’ll initially want to propose to you on stage at one of his concerts. Luckily, his friends talk him out of that, saying that could put pressure on you to say ‘yes’, or you saying ‘no’ could be humiliating for you both. He asks his parents for advice; Kent suggesting somewhere sentimental and Jodi suggesting somewhere romantic. He ends up not being able to contain his excitement long enough to go through with any plan. He proposes to you as you’re walking back to the farm one night. It actually proves to be perfect; the two of you alone, under the stars.
N = Nicknames - What do they call their s/o?
Babe, baby, cutie, girly/pretty girl (if you’re a woman), mama/daddy (if you have children or are expecting). They’re basic and a little juvenile but you love them! He gets nervous when you don’t call him a nickname, assuming the worst lol.
O = On Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?
Sam is already a bubbly and optimistic person. But when he starts dating you, he can’t wipe the dopey smile off his face! He no longer dreads going into work (which Shane quickly picks up on), he practically slips through town, and he can’t keep his hands off of you. It’s obvious, to say the least.
P = PDA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?
He’s so excited to announce that you’re dating when you start! Definitely not shy to kiss or hug you in public. He’s physically affectionate with all of his friends though so unless he kisses you, an onlooker might assume you’re just friends.
Q = Quirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.
Sam is a very good listener! He’ll listen intently as you boast, complain, cry, or talk about nothing. He’s also very agreeable. Did someone piss you off? Yeah, they suck! Got cash-back and want to use for a getaway together? Sure, he’d love to spend some quality time with you!
R = Romance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?
He tries to be romantic but he’s a bit clumsy. He tries to make you your favorite food but messes up the recipe. Or he runs a bath for you with rose petals and scented oil but when you enter the bathroom, the tub has overflowed. It’s the thought that counts!
S = Support - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?
Absolutely! He’ll assist you in anyway you ask him to. He feels it’s only fair since you’ve helped him so much before with his band and defending him from his mother and Mayor Lewis.
T = Thrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?
Sam loves some thrill and adventure! He’s so happy being with you but he gets a bit antsy so every week, you two go out and do something new. Attend a local concert, eat at a different restaurant, go dancing—whatever strikes you interest!
U = Understanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?
He is very empathetic. He’s not very confrontational so while he will get mad on your behalf, he’s more inclined to feel sad when you are. He absolutely hates seeing you cry and might shed a few tears when you do (but he’ll never let you see).
V = Value - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?
All of Sam’s relationships are very important to him! He wouldn’t think twice before sacrificing his stuff, or Yoba forbid, himself if it ever came down to it. He’s quite impulsive already so he definitely has before when it really wasn’t necessary. But it goes to show just how far he’s willing to go for you.
W = Wild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.
Sam teaches you how to skateboard, if you don’t know how to already! He makes you wear knee and elbow pads (partly for his own amusement). He’s so proud of you once you start to learn! He also offers to teach you how to play the guitar. You have little jam sessions together where he leads, while you’re still learning.
X = XOXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?
If you didn’t already know how, Sam has taught you how to skateboard! He insists you wear knee and elbow pads (even though you hate how dorky they make you look, that’s part of the fun for him). He’ll also teach you how to play guitar if you don’t know how to either! He loves bonding with you this way and he’s always so excited when you get something right!
Y = Yearning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?
He’s kinda very clingy and hates to see you go! He texts you every so often to check in and remind you not to overwork yourself. Huge golden retriever vibes in the sense that he’ll greet you at the door, kissing your face and hugging you tight. Expect him to be all over you for a while after you come back.
Z = Zeal - Are they willing to go to great lenghts for the relationship? If so, what kind of?
He’d do just about anything to prove himself to you. One way he does this is by learning your favorite songs and playing them on the guitar for you! He makes sure he gets them just right before he preforms. Sometimes, he offers to sing and play them softly to you as you fall asleep.

BACHELORS’ MUSIC PREFERENCES —STARDEW VALLEY HEADCANONS
SUMMARY: The bachelors’ favorite songs, artists, and genres!
CONTAINS: sfw, nothing worth noting
NOTES: Wrote this instead of an essay for college :) Spotify playlist links included! (tap the music notes beside each bachelor’s name)
— ELLIOTT ♪
• Genres: Classical, Britpop
• Artists: Pulp, Hozier, Pearl Jam
• Songs: This Is Hardcore, She’s Got a Way, Work Song
Elliott might as well have walked straight out of a sappy romance novel. He romanticizes life and that’s partly shown through the music he listens to. He loves poetic, slow songs about passionate love, or one that’s been lost. He likes to have classical music on while he writes/works. Classical piano music is what inspired him to play when he was younger. He loves the sound, the aesthetics, and the movement (plus, it was the easiest instrument for him to learn). He immerses himself in music, imagining himself twirling around his lover as he listens to Hozier, or loving his partner passionately while This Is Hardcore plays. Elliott himself is a passionate man in all regards and the music he listens to only encourages him further.
— HARVEY ♪
• Genres: Oldies, Lofi
• Artists: Pink Floyd, Queen, New Order
• Songs: Can’t Take My Eyes off You, As the World Caves In, Baby I’m Yours
Harvey enjoys calming, upbeat music. Preferably something he can turn on in the background as he works. Maru introduced him to Lofi. Since then, he keeps it playing in the clinic during work hours. He likes the calming mood it sets, as for some of his patients, going to the doctor can be anxiety-inducing. When he’s in a relationship, he loves to turn on the radio and dance with his partner to Frankie Valli or Queen. But if he’s not, he’ll day dream about doing just that, imagining himself deeply in love. Nothing warms his heart more than upbeat love songs!
— SAM ♪
• Genres: (80’s/90’s) Punk, Alternative Rock
• Artists: Misfits, Nirvana, The Cure
• Songs: Rebel Yell, Mrs. Robinson (The Lemonheads version), Astro Zombies
Sam loves everything about punk: the chaos, the rebellion, the energy, and volume. From an early age, he pictured himself on stage above a sea of people that enthusiastically sang along with him. Bands like Nirvana and the Misfits inspired him to pick up the guitar and rock out until his fingers became numb (or his mom complained about the noise). His and Sebastian’s favorite music influence how their band sounds. Therapy to Sam is jamming out to his favorite songs, getting completely lost in the music. When his dad was deployed and his mom became overwhelmed with his little brother, blaring his music was the only thing that could center and energize him enough for the day.
— SEBASTIAN ♪
• Genres: Emo, Post-hardcore
• Artists: Deftones, The Used, My Chemical Romance
• Songs: Dragula, Angelfuck, A Box Full of Sharp Objects
It was a phase until it wasn’t. After Sam introduced him to punk in their early teens, Sebastian found early 2000’s emo music through bands like Thursday, My Chemical Romance, Deftones, Taking Back Sunday, ect. They give him a safe space to feel and sit with his emotions without question or concern. He feels that these bands understand him when no one else does, bringing him rare moments of genuine peace through the constant cloud of angst that surrounds him. He likes to have it on whenever he’s in his room or working on his motorcycle. He could easily listen to the main emo classics hundreds of times over again without it becoming repetitive—which he has. Nothing feels better than drowning out the world (and his family) with blaring, emo music.
— SHANE ♪
• Genres: Metal, Hard Rock
• Artists: Alice In Chains, Korn, Soundgarden
• Songs: A.D.I.D.A.S, Bed of Roses, Closer
Shane has a lot of angsty feelings that are undealt with. Loud, aggressive, and angry music is usually his go-to, as well as some slower songs about heartbreak. He grew up listening to bands like Korn, Metallica, and Black Sabbath. After the deaths of his best friends (Jas’ parents) is when he really started to depend on metal to drown out his sorrows. He felt so angry and mournful but had no way of expressing that. He leaned into the hostile, melancholic sounds Alice In Chains and Soundgarden provided, along with other bands that produced the same. He’s also incredibly horny but you didn’t hear that from me.
— ALEX ♪
• Genres: Hip Hop, Lofi
• Artists: 1nonly, Tyler The Creator, The Neighbourhood
• Songs: The Beach, Darling I, Boys Don’t Cry
Alex likes to drown out to music, mainly while he works out (and recently, while he reads). He prefers music he can tune out so he can focus all his energy into his hobbies, and not have to worry about being distracted. He’s constantly listening to music—on runs, in the shower, in his room. He keeps a small speaker turned on in his room almost all day that plays a Lofi station. He found that he can spiral very easily into his worst thoughts if his mind isn’t occupied with external noise.

BACHELORS & THEIR SWEARING HABITS — STARDEW VALLEY HEADCANONS
SUMMARY: The bachelors and if they swear, what swears they use, and their opinions on it!
CONTAINS: sfw (?), coarse language, a little sexually suggestive in some parts
NOTES: This is a remake of an old post from my old dead account. I think I have a better understanding of the bachelors than I did when I made that post (because I was still new to SDV). I’m sorry if this isn’t great, I haven’t done this in a while :’) Enjoy!!
— ELLIOTT
• He’s the least likely to swear and you’ll almost never hear him do it
• Unless he’s very passionate about something or feeling very intensely, like if he’s very angry or sad
• I think he was more likely to swear when he was younger but the older he gets, the less he‘s prone to
• When he does swear, it holds that much more weight and meaning compared to someone who swears frequently
• It’s kinda sexy when he does too 👀🤭
• Also funny, depending on the context and situation
• Like I’ve said before, I believe that when he’s drunk, he has a lot less of a filter, making those the most likely times you’ll hear him swear
• “Oh, fuck me—so sorry, darling!” “I’m quite ‘shit-faced’, if you will.”
• He just has a way of always sound polite, despite what he’s saying
• He’s overall not opposed to swearing and he doesn’t mind or care if other people do
• Elliott has a wide vocabulary and therefore, more supplements for swears
• But he also understands that some situations call for swearing and that certain words can’t be replaced
• But that doesn’t mean he believes he’s better than anyone because he doesn’t! Swearing just doesn’t work for him
— HARVEY
• He’s absolutely dropped a few swears while working
• Harvey is a doctor and he understands better than anyone that swearing can be healthy
• Swearing can help cope with pain or deal with situations that someone might otherwise feel they have no control over
• He’s definitely been in stressful situations where mumbling a ‘fuck’ under his breath helps to center him enough to stay focused
• He understands there’s a time and a place, of course, he wouldn’t just drop an f-bomb in middle of your annual check-up lmao
• You’ll likely only hear him swear when he’s angry or stressed, but he will apologize soon after, even if it’s unnecessary
• Or during sexy times 😎 to which he doesn’t apologize
• Other than that, those type of words just don’t seem to frequent his everyday vocabulary
• He also kind of prides himself on being professional and swearing just isn’t
• Like Elliott, Harvey swears so little that when he does, it’s kind of off-putting and holds more significance
• Like if he swears while reprimanding you for passing out in the mines, you’ll be more likely to listen because it’s just that jarring
• It’s not that he feels one way about swearing, he doesn’t even think about it
— SAM
• You might disagree with me but he rarely ever swears
• In a lot of the fics I read, he does and it makes sense to me, him being a 20-something year old guy and all
• But I also think his parents have it so ingrained in his mind that swearing is bad and impolite, like it’s a cardinal sin or something
• They also want him to set a good example for Vincent, which Sam does
• But when he was younger, he’d get Vincent to say swear words and then crack up, only encouraging Vincent more
• Yeah, his parents were not happy lmfao
• Nowadays, he only justifies swearing to himself when he’s singing a song with swears in it
• He feels a little alarmed at how freeing it feels to swear when he sings at first, and he kicks himself for enjoying it
• He’s likely to swear the most when he’s with his friends (Sebastian is not a good influence on him in this regard lmao)
• Sam says the family-friendly versions of swears unironically, like ‘freak’, or ‘shoot’
• He was probably also the type to flip people off in school with his ring finger so that he technically couldn’t get in trouble (I literally did the same)
• He’d probably benefit mentally and emotionally by swearing more often if he didn’t take so much pride in trying to be perfect :(
— SEBASTIAN
• I mean. Let’s be real.
— He’s a moody teenager who hates his family and everything around him (not literally), of course he swears, and frequently too
— Playing a lot of online games with voice chat while he was growing up, he started picking up swear words pretty quickly
— Demetrius corrects him whenever he does, and because I believe Seb likes to piss him off, he intentionally swears in front of him lol
— Robin doesn’t care so much, unless it’s in front of Demetrius then she’s like, “Seb, c’mon.”
— And he just looks at her like “😏”
— Now that I’m thinking of it, he probably learned some swears from her as well
— Like if she was arguing with his dad on the phone or accidentally hurt herself while wood-working
— Despite Robin’s warnings that those are bad words, she couldn’t keep him from repeating her, so she instead told him the ‘time and a place’ rule
— They’re similar in the way that they probably don’t have much of a filter and Sebastian probably influences her more than she realizes lol
— He doesn’t really have a set way of swearing, he just does at any given time
— As a kid, he’d influence Maru to swear and then act all shocked when she did and his parents blamed him lmao
— Sam too, which Jodi was very upset by, considering Seb to be a genuinely bad influence on Sam
— As an adult, he no longer does that anymore and has developed a major soft spot for the way that Sam “swears”
— I think Sam unconsciously influences Seb to be less vulgar with his language
[ ALEX ]
— He actually canonically swears the most of all the bachelors! If you consider ‘damn’ to be one
— Like Jodi, the Mullner’s have taught Alex that swearing is impolite, but not necessarily bad
— I can imagine Evelyn covering her ears when he does and saying something like, “oh, my poor old ears cannot handle such harsh language!”
— He doesn’t have much of a reason to anyway
— He remembers his dad swearing a lot at him as a kid, or when he would yell at his mother so I think those kind of words can trigger bad memories
— He’s very aware of trying to be better than his father and if swearing is something his father did, he doesn’t (at least, not nearly as often)
— He’s careful not to swear in front of his grandparents, which I think is all their really concerned about anyway
— To them, it shows respect, and he respects his grandparents very much!
— I think they let it slide if he’s cheering for a game on the television or if he’s complimenting his granny’s cooking
— “Damn, granny! That’s incredible!” And she just smiles and scolds him half-heartedly
— You’ll probably hear him swear the most in the bedroom 🤭
— Or if he stubs his toe
— Equally arousing, if you ask me
— He sticks to the less harsh swear words like ‘hell’, ‘ass’, ‘damn’, and occasionally ‘shit’
[ SHANE ]
— You know CA wanted to make this man say ‘fuck’
— Swears the most out of the bachelors, regardless of… well, anything
— There’s ZERO filter on this guy
— Unless Jas is around, then he’s mindful of what he says
— Not that he or Marnie are worried about her picking anything up, she’s a good kid and very well-mannered
— If Shane does slip up, she’s the first one to scold him lmao
— He’s glad though, he feels like this means he’s doing well raising her
— He swears when he’s happy, sad, excited, angry…
— Seriously. No filter.
— He probably doesn’t even realize it much either
• I feel like when he and Jas first moved in with Marnie, she was quite strict about him swearing, especially since he’s raising a child
• But overtime, she’s grown accustomed to it, she probably even swears slightly more now because of him
• Jas has helped him to be less crude and he can now catch himself much better before he slips
• “Are you fu-” *Jas stares daggers into him* “freaking kidding me?”
• It is Shane after all, and people have learned to expect it
• When he was new to town, it definitely surprised people
• Pelican Town is small, no one really ever swears and swearing isn’t taken very lightly
• And then this guy just walks in and swears so casually
• It shocked people at first, to say the least
• Overtime, the townsfolk have come to learn that’s just how Shane is and that he’s a good guy once you get to know him!
• All that’s not to say that Shane just throws out swears all day, everyday though
• He is respectful and polite and only swears when it’s mostly appropriate, like around friends or in the comfort of his own home
• He’s just not shy about it :)

RANDOM ELLIOTT HEADCANONS — sdv, part 1
CONTAINS: sfw, references to alcohol and intoxication (written by someone who’s never consumed it), stupid American writing British people
NOTES: I seriously have to start posting more. I have so many drafts both for Tumblr and AO3 but I’m stuck in a mind set that my work isn’t good enough to post. BLAH.
— Elliott is a lightweight. Like extremely so. Two glasses of wine in and he’s already pretty wasted.
— When he is drunk, he doesn’t have much of a filter either. This is the most you’ll likely hear him swear and it’s honestly kinda funny. Or if he has a crush on you, he’s likely to confess by either flirting heavily or just out right saying he does.
— It isn’t until morning that he feels so much shame and regret for however he acted.
— This is a headcanon I’ve been thinking of recently: Elliott could be British (or whatever the SDV equivalent is.)
— I imagine he came overseas for college when he was in his early twenties or so.
— He probably tried to unlearn his accent in order to fit in better because he got teased for it and/or people assumed he was a tourist and tried to scam him (and he being young and naïve, fell for it a few times). You might not initially guess his fake accent isn’t real unless he tells you where he grew up.
— If he’s been drinking, his natural accent isn’t concealed as much.
— This was probably his first time traveling out of the country too.
— Elliott isn’t very good with technology. If we’re imagining Stardew taking place in the 90’s-2000’s, he’s probably very resistant to upgrading his typewriter to a computer or the landline to a cell phone, purposely not learning how to use them (which bites him in the ass down the road). But in the modern day, he genuinely just can’t understand how to learn, and thinking about it for too long gives him a headache.
— He prefers to be a passenger than a driver. He also doesn’t let people smoke in his car. The smell sticks and he would rather not have to deal with that.
— He has reading glasses for when he reads and writes. I imagine they’re either half moon or slightly oversized black frames. He’s a little far sighted. 🤏 The silver lining is that it gives off writer vibes so…
— Elliott has a PhD in English although he didn’t do a lot with it. He really likes the title and being able to say he has a doctorate in English, if nothing else. He probably minored in History as well.
— Elliott’s first crush was on Liza Minnelli, regardless of what you headcanon his sexuality to be. He watched Cabaret as a young teen and fell in love.
— Elliott was an anonymous writer who used a pseudonym when he first started publishing his work. Until he came to Pelican Town and was encouraged by the farmer to write, he was content without his work being traced back to him. He just likes to write and that by itself is enough for him. Plus, he’s quite shy, preferring to stay out of the public eye.
— Though he chose to live on the beach, his skin is very sensitive and he sunburns easily. He’s learned to be careful and he’s always had a good skincare routine. His skin has definitely darkened slightly since living in Pelican Town.

All bachelors asking you to dance with them during the Flower Festival!
hello hello!! i am so sorry this is late, it took some fine tuning—hopefully i got it right :) thank you so much for the ask, as always~
bachelors asking you to dance at the flower dance !
featuring all bachelors ♡
struggling through the Allergies™️
but he fights through it to get to you!! because he absolutely MUST ask the cute farmer out this year. this year is the YEAR
he's impressed that you can dance, too, as he watches you practice your twirls and glides with abigail
shoots abigail a significant look as she ~conveniently~ decides to go pester her dad at his stall
and all of a sudden, you and sam are side-by-side, while he casts nervous sidelong glances at you
"hey, you look really nice today..."
you simply respond with a smile and a compliment of your own, innocently unaware of his intentions
hoo boy, you are unknowingly making it VERY HARD for him
"want to... dance with me this year?" he manages to squeak out, face flushing before he even finishes his sentence
you're more than happy to accept, clasping his hand and dragging him into the center of the clearing, your carefree laughs and hollers carrying through the forest~
cannot believe that he is seriously considering asking someone to the flower dance
but, he figures, any time spent with you is worth much more than any embarrassment he might feel
so he just bites the bullet, finding you amongst the crowd, pulling you discreetly aside, and asks you, matter-of-factly
"dance with me?” he asks, holding out his hand
you're honestly surprised by his forwardness, but nonetheless overjoyed to accept
he didn't think he could ever enjoy dancing so much, especially in a stuffy suit of all things
but seeing the happy smile on your face has him... gasp! blushing?!?!
he’s able to overcome his initial anxiety when he has you comfortably in his arms, slowly swaying to the music
he could get used to this… ;)
tries to play it cool but he is seriously STRUGGLING
he had never had a problem with talking to you, so why was it so hard for him to muster up the courage to ask you?? >:(
pretends to be all casual, voice all light and airy when he approaches you, hands in his pockets
“you clean up real nice,” he says, tamping down the fear in his throat
but then when you look at him with your pretty doll eyes, he suddenly feels his macho return
“you’d look better next to me, though. whaddya say we dance together?” he asks, a smirk on his perfect lips
if he wasn’t so damn charming you’d be rolling your eyes
but alas, alex mullner is alex mullner, and in the blink of an eye, he has his hands planted possessively on your waist, the other guiding you in a surprisingly elegant dance as the two of you twirl together in the spring breeze~
get this poor man a doctor of his own because his heart is RACING
seriously reconsidering his original plan, especially when he sees you so dolled up, excitedly flouncing over to greet him with a chaste peck on his cheek
and the poor man’s face burns a million degrees hotter
starts with some small talk, to check in on how you’re doing
but also to try and calm his nerves!! >_<
he finally finds the courage to ask you when you look up at him with expectant eyes, as if wordlessly encouraging him to say the words you've been waiting for all year
"would you... care to dance with me?" he asks softly
and BOOM, he's swept up in a whirlwind of your movements as you pull him over to the dance, giggling all the while
"took you long enough to ask me, doctor!~"
has a grand proposal planned out just for you
with a blooming bouquet of delicate flowers he had picked that day, during a morning stroll before the festival
he doesn't even ask you at the dance, he arrives at the doorstep to your farmhouse bright and early
just before you open the door though, he's a flustered mess
smoothing out his hair and the lapels of his jacket
he has never felt!! so nervous before!!
but before he can even fully gather his thoughts, you're suddenly standing in front of him, a delighted look on your face
"elliott! what's the meaning of this?"
he clears his throat, finding the courage to (metaphorically) sweep you off your feet with his honeyed words
"would you care to accompany me to the flower dance, my rose?"
you squeal with joy as you throw your arms around him, letting him lift you off the ground in a fairytale-like embrace <3
off in a quieter corner of the field, sipping on a soda
he was secretly waiting for you to show up, but he acts all bothered when you run over to him, all cheery and smiley
you lovee bothering him <3
behind closed doors, you were hoping for him to ask you to dance, but you knew there was no chance of that happening
so his next words caught you completely off guard, spoken so quietly you almost missed them
“… wanted t’try dancing this year, ‘n i figured you would be the most helpful, seein’ how you’re so good at it…” he mutters just barely under his breath
you just yank him by the arm to the center of the dance, much to his surprise
“if you wanna dance with me, just say that!” you laugh, twirling around him at a dizzying speed
he was in for a RIDE, but he was more than amused to oblige <3
thank you so much for reading! requests are always open~
I don't like how the birthdays from stardew valley are set up in the real world. Like most of December is in the fall according to the solstice but Sebastian's birthday is winter 10 and we've decided it's December 10th.
Nah, let's give all the characters accurate birthdays in accordance with the seasons.
I'll set it up 2 ways:
1. Taking the earliest dates of each solstice and equinox that defines the seasons and dividing that by 28 (number of days in a stardew valley season) then multiplied that number by the NPC's bday (I'll explain the math later)
2. Taking the average amount of days in-between each IRL season and dividing that by 28
Earliest dates are as follows:
Spring March 19
Summer June 20
Autumn September 21
Winter December 20
The length of each season in this method is
91 days for spring
93 days for summer
90 days for fall
90 days for winter
The average days in between is 91.5 days.
Dividing by 28 we get
3.25 Spring
3.32142857 Summer
3.2142857 Autumn / Winter
3.267857142857143 Average
These numbers are the difference between our real world dates and stardew valley dates
Our season are about 90 days long, their's are 28 days so
1 day for stardew players is about 3 days for us.
Now that we have these numbers let's find out how each day correlates to each villager.
It will be in order of earliest birthday to latest and will follow this format
NPC-Season-ingame Bday-Bday(method 1)-Bday(method 2)
Kent- Spring 4- Apr 1
Lewis- Spring 7- Apr 10
Vincent- Spring 10- Apr 20
Haley- Spring 14- May 3
Pam- Spring 18- May 16
Shane- Spring 20- May 23
Pierre- Spring 26- Jun 11
Emily- Spring 27- Jun 14- Jun 15
Jas- Summer 4- Jul 3
Gus- Summer 8- Jul 16
Maru- Summer 10- Jul 23- Jul 22
Alex- Summer 13- Aug 2- Aug 1
Sam- Summer 17- Aug 15- Aug 14
Demetrius- Summer 19- Aug 22- Aug 21
Dwarf- Summer 22- Sep 1-Aug 30
Willy- Summer 24- Sep 7- Sep 6
Leo- Summer 26- Sep 14- Sep 12
Penny- Autumn 2- Sep 27
Elliott- Autumn 5- Oct 7
Jodi- Autumn 11- Oct 26
Abigail- Autumn 13- Nov 1- Nov 2
Sandy- Autumn 15- Nov 8- Nov 9
Marnie- Autumn 18- Nov 17- Nov 18
Robin- Autumn 21- Nov 27- Nov 28
George- Autumn 24- Dec 7- Dec 8
Krobus- Winter 1- Dec 23
Linus- Winter 3- Dec 29
Caroline- Winter 7- Jan 11
Sebastian- Winter 10- Jan 21
Harvey- Winter 14- Feb 2- Feb 3
Wizard- Winter 17- Feb 12- Feb 13
Evelyn- Winter 20- Feb 22- Feb 23
Leah- Winter 23- Mar 3- Mar 5
Clint- Winter 26- Mar 13- Mar 14
If there is only one date on the NPC that means both dates are the same
I'd like to thank @cloverbug83 for helping with the math.
TL:DR The dates in stardew valley are incorrect and I updated them according to IRL seasons.
