I'll admit, I was kinda salty at other characters at first (mainly when I was younger and newer to the game), because I wasn't able to find a community who liked the people I liked, and thought I was being stupid somehow for liking so and so.
But now, I understand that people perceive other characters differently because of different experiences with different people that remind them of the characters. I think what's important is to not be shitty, mean, or make others feel isolated because of stuff like personal interpretations.
I like and appreciate each and every one of the spouses, though I recognize I might not click with some of them the same way I do for the others, but that's ok. I love all the different interpretations and headcanons people come up with. They're awesome.
I just hope that nobody else has to experience how sad younger me was back then.
Something I don't get is why part of the stardew valley fandom is constantly valoring the spouses and who is better and who is worse and why if you choose this character you have the worst taste ever and you don't deserve to make decisions.
Like, we're playing a game that lets you avoid reality, create your own farm and flirt with the local neighbours, we're here chilling and planting crops and blackmailing the mayor, why do we need to fight because this character is childish or this is boring? Can't we just love the game and the spouses, instead of puting them against each other to show others why they shouldn't have this as their fav character?
Also, there's people with vivid imagination who give the characters more backstory and personality traits than what the game shows us. I've seen lots of amazing fanarts and read some fics that I liked a lot, and I love how every creator has their own story about how the farmer lives their daily life in pelican town.
After all, kindness is an important part of the game.
...and destroying capitalism. That's important too.

So you might be saying: Lion why a guide on drawing black people? Well young blood it’s because a lot of people cant…seem…to draw…black people..Amazing I know. 
Tumblr media
Racist (caricatures) portrayals of black people have been around forever, and to this day people can’t seem to draw black people like they are human. If your artwork resembles any of the above even remotely your artwork is racist and offensive. If you try to excuse that as a stylistic choice you’re not only a terrible artist, but racist too!!! Congrats.
Tumblr media
Whitewashing is also a problem. A lot of people refuse to draw black features on canonly black characters. While this example isn’t colored, lightening the skin-tone of a character is also considered whitewashing. So lets start with features!
Tumblr media
Now all black people have different noses thats a no-brainer, but black noses tend to have flatter bridges, and wider nostrils. Please stay from triangular anime noses and small button noses. Your drawings should not depict black people with abnormally large noses. (Especially if you do not draw other characters this way)
Tumblr media
If you feel like the way you draw lips on black characters is offensive or resembles a caricature,it probably does and you should change it. ABSOLUTELY AVOID PLACING LIPS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FACE. 
Tumblr media
Hair is so diverse! Please get used to drawing braids, locs,kinks and coils! If you can learn to draw ringlets and long waves you can learn how to draw black hairstyles.
Tumblr media
Add clips! Learn how to draw baby-hairs and never be afraid to add color Pinterest and Google are free my dudes! Also try using square brushes for blocking in coils.
OK THAT’S ALL YOU GUYS

Personally, I think it'd be a sweet romantic dinner by the eastern dock. On a picnic blanket, with candle lights and wine.
Also yeah, specified the eastern dock by the tidepools because rarely anyone goes to that side (except Leah) and it's sad.
I've seen those stupid takes arguing that Elliott's ten heart event was "problematic" for kissing you on a boat alone together (ignoring how you're already dating him and you already consented to getting in that boat and being alone with him). Meanwhile, what about the farmers with thalassophobia who wouldn't want to get on a boat on the open ocean but don't want to be unable to complete his romance because of it?
In either case, if he did have a different ten heart event that didn't involve a boat ride, what would it be like?

Being an adult in a fandom filled with mostly horny adults as an asexual adult is both kinda interesting and absolutely terrifying. No place like home i guess?

700 ish words about imagining Elliot from Stardew Valley as Mr. Darcy. Inspired by artwork by @crispyanonart , found here: https://www.tumblr.com/crispyanonart/747778892890243072/elliott-mr-darcy-because-it-fits-so-good?source=share
It's not the exact scene from Pride and Prejudice of course but pretty close. Im also posting on ao3 later :)
And I love, I love, I love you.
You had only just left your farm, deciding to take the normal path into town. Walking through the final stretch of woods that clears up into the bus stop. You were drenched already from the rain, and any normal person would be safe from it inside.
And there you saw him, walking towards you, like he had such an important mission nothing would stand in his way. He always walked with confidence, or maybe it was pride, but the way he was walking now you knew something was different. His eyes locked onto yours and he didn’t look away.
You couldn’t help but blink away some of the rain that made it’s way into your eyes, but his didn’t leave. Almost like he was entranced by you?
You came to a stop, waiting for what he would say, what he would do.
He kept approaching until he was a mere few feet in front of you. There was something about him, something familiar about his expression in a way you couldn’t place. He stared for a moment, and you felt a need to speak first.
“You’re not usually out this early.” You didn’t see him up this early, and you didn’t see him around the bus stop.
“I know, usually I stay in my cabin for a few more hours. But I, I wanted to talk with you.”
You were reminded of the last time you had seen this expression, when he asked you to marry him. Something you had hastily denied, a bit scared and still holding a dislike for him. It was only two seasons ago, and it was fall now. That was when you saw this expression, and you could only assume what he was going to say next.
And as he talked, your entire focus went to him, it had a way of doing that.
“You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with Leah last night and it has taught me to hope as I’d scarcely allowed myself to before.” Elliot paused, and a bird in the distance chirped. “If your feelings are still what they were in Spring, tell me so at once.”
“My affections and wishes have not changed. But one word from you will silence me forever.”
Shocked, and nervous you stood there quietly. Wondering to yourself, had they? You knew the answer already.
“If however,” Elliot stepped forward, “your feelings have changed I would have to tell you,”
How had this happened already you wondered, taking in the softness of his voice and they way the rain gently hit the two of you.
“you have bewitched me body and soul, and I love, I love, .. I love you. And wish from this day forth never to be parted from you.”
Elliot looked so good standing in the rain, confessing to you like this. He was a writer through and through, always so good with his words. But there’s a difference in writing something, and meaning something. And the way he spoke, like it was a secret. Like he had to pry it from his own heart just to be able to tell you that he loves you. The way he spoke made you believe him, every single word.
He’s a writer, but he’s also a man. A man in love with you. You. A man confessing to you with so much emotion it makes your heart soar. It makes your soul soar.
You had changed and grown as a person so much these last two seasons, and you knew that in this moment your feelings for him are the strongest they’d ever been.
Slowly you took a step forward, reaching to take one of his hands in yours.
“Well then.” your voice was the softest you had heard it in years. Gently you brought his hands to your lips, softly kissing them.
“Your hands are cold,” and they were. The rain had gotten to him.
Blinking rapidly he gave a small nod, you could see the confusion and hope in his eyes. You leaned towards him again.
Elliot leaned down, his other hand pressingly gently against your warm face. Your foreheads touched each other and the tender moment made you shut your eyes, a bit helplessly. You waited for him, for what he would do. You wanted to know.
And Elliot didn’t disappoint as a few moments went by until he leaned down more and his lips softly met your own.
