Just a little reflection....

I think the four biggest plot twists in this saga are as follows (spoilers ofc):

and I'm super proud of every single one of them.

this has been WILD y'all and I still can't believe the shit is still going. probably because I take my hobbies seriously, watch a TON of psychological thrillers and have a strong appreciation for a good mindfuck.

As heavy as these 4 moments were, I am still always without words when asked how I did it, how I planned it, etc. I never plan I just go! Mercy wasn't ever going to be implicated until she was. Mostly because I'm an overthinker lol I wouldn't change any of these moments tho.

HONORABLE FUCKING MENTION!!!

#just thinking out loud #story stuff #maybe i'll do a poll #like if you remember all 4 of these #how would you rank them?#I think they grew in intensity with each one #but still interested in what y'all think

Oh my god I woke up this morning and my Stardew Valley meta post had almost 150 notes????? Hello?????????? Anyways I started writing this last night because @moon-is-pretty-tonight left nice tags on the original so thank you so much!!

We know from the starting scenes of the game that the farmer's grandfather loved Stardew Valley. So why did he leave? Pelican Town is a good place to grow old; George and Evelyn are just fine. It's a fine place to raise a kid, but maybe he just wanted to raise his child closer to real schools and other children.

Or maybe, just maybe, he understood.

Was there a day when he was in his thirties where he looked at his friends and realized they weren't like him? That he could run faster than them, work longer, explore deeper into the hidden places of the valley?

Was there a day when he went to the wizard to ask him for help, for knowledge if nothing else? Did he learn then that his family was different? Special? Chosen? And how did he react? He couldn't possibly raise a child in the valley if they would be as strange and fey as him. He had to leave. There was no other way.

But years later, on his deathbed, did he regret that choice?

Is that why he gave the farmer the letter?

Is that why they went back home?

When the farmer steps off the bus that first day, the valley is still on the cusp of winter, just barely tipping over into spring. The flowers are starting to bloom, but a chill still hangs in the air. As soon as the farmer's boots touch the soil there's a change. The air gets warmer. The trees get greener. Not by too much, not all at once, but it changes.

The junimos watch the farmer as they do their work. They're new to farming, but take to it with frightening speed; their first batch of crops is perfect. None of the townsfolk tell them that parsnips don't normally grow in less than a week, that cauliflowers don't grow to be ten feet tall, that fairies don't visit when the sun goes down and grow potatoes and beans and tulips overnight. The junimos talk amongst themselves in their strange, wild language, and agree: this is the one. They're back. The valley recognizes its own, even when they've left for a generation. The farmers have come home.

Things change fast in the valley. The community center, empty and decrepit for so many years, is rejuvenated. (Lewis says it was abandoned only a few weeks after the farmer's grandfather left. Strange coincidence, he says, that it both came and went with the farmer's family.) The mines and the quarry, similarly abandoned, are explored for the first time in ages. The town becomes cleaner, brighter, more vibrant, happier.

And it is happier. Not just the environment, but the people. It's the talk of the town for weeks when Haley does her first closet purge. Leah's art show in the town square is a huge success. Shane's smiling for the first time since he moved to the valley. All of them, when asked, say it's all thanks to the farmer.

People love to ask why Lewis didn't fix the community center on his own. Why Willy never repaired the boat to ginger island. Why Abigail or Marlon never went down to fix the elevator in the mines, or why Clint didn't fix the minecarts.

But isn't it so much more interesting to ask how those things were there in the first place? How they got so broken down? If the stories the townspeople tell are true, the valley was once a beautiful place, flourishing and full of life; why did that change? When did it change?

Was it when the farmer's grandfather, the locus of the valley, its chosen representative, left town?

And if so, what happens when the farmer comes back?

#lich says shit #stardew valley #stardew farmer #sdv #my writing #Hope y'all enjoyed!#I'm thinking about developing this into. Like. An actual Fan Fiction. Still sort of short-form but like with more detail?#LMK if you'd be interested to see that! Also if you want to be tagged in future installations of this please just let me know :)#I'm super into this version of the farmer as like. Blessed and cryptic child of the valley with all the strange behavior that entails #If i DO write a more in-depth version of this it'll be from the perspective of someone in town #maybe Leah? She seems like she'd be the one to notice the farmer being Odd. Either that or I'll do it from the perspective of multiple--#--different people to get their unique insights and stuff #I'd also want to dig into like #The family history of the farmer. And what that's like.#Because like why did grandpa leave?#He clearly loved the valley #So why didn't he stay?#Why did he give the deed to his grandchild and not his literal child?#And is it a coincidence that everything in the valley went downhill when he left?#I don't think so.

It's okay to just be binary you know

It's also okay to let trans people do whatever they want forever. Hope this helps.

#ask #anon #exorsexism #it's always interesting seeing these things because... what is inspiring this?#is it some sort of misguided notion that nonbinary people are somehow oppressing the Real Trans (binary people)?#or maybe the idea that there are Too Many Pesky Nonbinaries compared to the more binary trans people?#or that nonbinary people Don't Transition so they aren't truly trans? Like I've seen this exact shit for YEARS now #like i don't particularly want to put words in your mouth anon but i'm also not willing to play into your obvious hangups...#...about how OTHER people live and ID #because i already KNOW it's ~okay~ to be binary. ask me how i know. i LIVE as a binary man. For years. I'm well-aware.#because i don't know the Exact reason anon sent this i'm not going to assume but i also know better than to think this is good faith #this has the same energy as people unprompted telling bi people 'its okay to be straight/gay instead :('#posting to highlight y'all (general) are still Not Normal about nonbinary people

another day another reminder that twitter still very much actively hates queer people with unconventional identities

#can y'all like leave us the hell alone for TWO SECONDS #idk much about what regretevator even is but yes this is about that #banning mentions of us in your discord spreading hate against us then later deleting it because you're a coward about it #I think it'll be a long while till I go back to using sites like twitter and discord and engaging with fandom communities #because you people do shit like this #I literally felt constantly unsafe trying to just have fun with people who share my interests #and I thought we were finally starting to get better about this #nope still mass bullying towards fucking. teenage trans people calling themselves lesboys or some shit #get a grip #regretevator #tw queerphobia #tw exclusionism #lesboy

[ TRANSCRIPTION: I don't understand I don't understand I don't understand Why did you leave me, Marcy? We were supposed to be together forever. Is it true that you're an angel now? ]

#OF MONSTERS AND MEN: musings.#JOURNALING: a snapshot into barton's mind.#yeah uhhh... this is one of those darker pages in his journal. but not THE darkest #i kinddd of wanted to give you guys limited context as to what this page is about but let me just say it has to do with marcy. so yeah...#barton was REALLY going through it whenever she died NGL #i mean barton has never been a very religious man buttt he honestly liked to think that marcy was in a 'better place'#though that doesn't mean that he didn't want her back... to the point where he would draw her as an angel and... well 🫠#TELL her he needed her to come back even though logically she would probably never see this page as wherever she may be #it is far away from here. but Barton pretty much almosttt had a psychotic break after she died and that had fueled him to draw some PRETTY-#... interesting thing's to say the least. but ahahhh i know that this one might've been slightly jumpscare-y though i-#hope that y'all still liked it!!#YOUR NEED GREW TEETH: character study.#tw: religious imagery.#tw: slight gore.

Song of the Day: March 27

"Long Time Gone" by The Chicks

#song of the day #I'm still thinking about the Country Songs About Country Songs #this is actually a cover too though I never hear the original around anywhere #(it's by Darrell Scott who is also the originator for 'You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive'#turns out he's got a bunch of songs that got picked up and made somewhat more popular in the hands of other folks. an interesting legacy)#the best lines of this song to sing are also the bits About Country Music--well the whole song's about chasing the love of it #but this bit is bemoaning the kids these days you know. country music isn't what it used to be. why back in my day etc etc #it's so so so much fun to sing too because you get to exaggerate your 'I think's until they rhyme with 'Hank'. excellent work #'we listen to the radio to hear what's cookin / but the music ain't got no soul #now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard / they got money but they don't have Cash #they got Junior but they don't have Hank / I think I think I think / the rest is a long time gone'#it's fascinating to me to think about these songs in (saying 'historical' here is giving me psychic damage but) historical context #because the Darrell Scott original for Long Time Gone came out in 2000 and The Chicks released their version in 2002 #so they were talking about the trend towards American jingoism in country music of the time #versus like Waylon Jennings in 1975 'Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way'#(I typed that and /then/ went back and looked up the release date and I'm so proud I got it right)#already bemoaning the state of country music in the 70s versus good old classic country like Hank Williams Senior sang #(Hank Jr covered Waylon's song in 1981. like yes it's a tribute to his father but also Hank Jr was a big push towards outlaw country #and has a few pretty famous songs himself about not singing like his daddy did. it just seems a strange choice to me)#and then Eric Church put out 'Lotta Boot Left to Fill' in 2009 calling out the shallowness of the country music scene of the time #(talking some only-thinly-veiled shit about a few of his peers in the process)#and then he released 'Stick That In Your Country Song' in 2021 and that /definitely/ put some backs up #that one's a less directed but more direct call-out if that makes any sense #no lines that are direct references to other artists' songs but stronger sentiments overall #not just general 'y'all are getting shallow prioritizing good times and high sales over genuine heart and integrity of craft'#but some straight up 'you have forgotten the face of your father' shit towards country artists and fans alike. the whole industry #a very good righteous-anger song

can HSR and HI3 players please just stop with picking on Genshin players already? we all like Hoyoverse, there is literally no reason to trash on the other games to try and get people to play your favorites. if anything you've only made Genshin players avoid HSR and HI3. you've accomplished nothing.

this post is not about the rewards players of each game get, I'm only talking about the Hoyoverse fans who trash on Genshin just because they think the other games are soooo much better and their opinions are better than "those stupid Genshin players'"

seriously, stfu. it's a game. if you don't like it don't bully people who do. and especially don't follow it up with "my favorite game is better" 😐

#hoyoverse #genshin impact #and if i see any reblogs or comments doing the same i will delete them. end of story #if you're one of the people who does this you're the problem. you're actively making the hoyo fans hate each other more by doing this.#just play your game and let people play what they want. it's not your life so it's none of your business #and yeah genshin has shitty rewards #but at least you can play for free and still enjoy the game.#not saying the other hoyo games aren't f2p but genshin is and that's part of why it attracts so many new players.#not just that but since Inazuma was rushed Hoyoverse has been making an effort to make the story better and less rushed.#idc that most patches are filler either. that's literally how it works y'all not every patch is going to be packed with lore #games take time to create and good stories can't be made for a game like Genshin in just three months.#if you don't believe me just look at Inazuma. they rushed that and tried to fit 5 acts worth of story into 3 and it did not go well.#games are passion projects and while i do agree that Hoyo wants your money it's important to remember that every game company is like that.#Genshin is not better or worse storywise just because the company can't make every patch not filler #or because Hoyo wants your money. like that's how it works what did you expect #the point is #the players who play Genshin for the story are having a great time and if you dislike that aspect just don't play it or engage with it.#the writers obviously care about Genshin enough to put massive amounts of effort into making it detail heavy and interesting.#if you think otherwise too bad ig that's not the game's fault #Genshin isn't your thing if you don't like the story. move on.#sorry for the rant #I'm not having such a good time and Hoyolab + the HI3/HSR community are so mean for no reason to Genshin players.#anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk

about Obscurials and pre-Hogwarts Harry

this is your daily reminder that Harry could never have been an Obscurial, not because That Woman hadn’t created/retconned in the idea yet, but because of the actual definition, which is “a child who knows about their magic and tries to suppress it”.

Ariana Dumbledore knew she was a witch from the time she was able to know things. She was actively and knowingly doing magic when she was attacked, and afterward she refused to use her gift and it turned inward.

Harry Potter knew that strange things happened around him, but he did not know that it was magic, because he didn’t think magic was even real. One of the first things he says to Hagrid after The Reveal is something along the lines of “this has to be a mistake, I can’t be a wizard”. He also wasn’t trying to “suppress” any of the things happening to him, because he didn’t know he was the one causing them to happen.

so yeah, there’s no viable “Dumbledore knew Harry could have become an Obscurial when he left him with the Dursleys and still left him there” argument, because Dumbledore didn’t know the Dursleys weren’t going to tell Harry about his magic or even treat him like a member of the family (see: my 12-hour long post about this shit last month, along with The Books).

yet another big argument Dumbledore-bashers have that falls apart when you actually adhere to the story lol

#I am once again begging y'all to reread the books #Harry Potter #Ariana Dumbledore #Obscurials #when I watched the first FB movie I was like ''huh interesting'' and then people tried to make Credence/Harry parallels #EXCEPT CREDENCE ALSO KNEW HE HAD MAGIC????#Grindelwald was literally telling him all sorts of shit about the magical world and implying he could ''give'' him magic or unlock his magic #and like sure he was lying through his fucking teeth until he realized Credence *was* an untrained wizard and Obscurial but STILL #JKR is not great at storytelling but this actually holds up in-universe!#if you know magic is real and you might have it and you suppress it: Obscurial #if you don't think magic is real and you don't think you have it: you're just Harry lol #can't believe a stupid ass Quora poster made me think about FANTASTIC BEASTS today #JKR likes to retcon herself too though so I wouldn't be surprised if there's some dumbass line about this in the latest movie #meta #what's interesting is that Hermione never comes up in these bashers' conversations #she is another person who would have had a stake in ''wishing her problems away'' if she had any magical outbursts #yet no one ever says ''Hermione could have been an Obscurial!'' you know why?? because the theory DOESN'T MAKE SENSE for anyone but Ariana!#and Ariana is like Hermione in that she had two loving parents! so clearly Obscurials don't need to have an abusive caregiver to be birthed!#Credence is more of a parallel to Tom Riddle tormenting kids in the orphanage than he is to Harry; just more sympathetic #sigh #'bout to circle back to twitter for a while bc I'm so annoyed about this

i made a post abt making playlists for aftg/the foxes and i know no one cares about this except for me but y'all i am So Serious abt this now 😅 the covers are just things i found on pinterest tho bc i'm not talented ...

i have: andrew, neil, andriel, kevin, the foxes/aftg in general, renee, matt, dan, and allison so far, but i plan to make ones for all of them eventually!!

there are some songs that appear on multiple mixes bc there are some characters that i think have parallels in their stories/they go through similar struggles but idk if i'm going to keep it that way bc i really want to make sure each mix has its own ~vibe if that makes sense???

idk it's definitely a work in progress but i'm having a lot of fun and i'm happy with how they're turning out !!! if y'all have any song suggestions pls send them my way 👀👀👀

You are right on every account in that tiktk reblog tags, except for one thing. Putin maybe didn't veto humanitarian corridors, but he sure did shell them. Several times.

Oh. I knew he'd sabotaged them somehow but I forgot how. Hard to keep track of all his war crimes. I didn't mean to imply that he was better for allowing one, just that he knew how to play the optics better, which is what I meant by "how is Biden WORSE at spinning a narrative than Putin". I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I was giving him any credit whatsoever.

Also I started out by saying that the previous Israeli governments colluded with the US and conceded to ceasefires so that they could pick civilians off one by one while the US played up their PR by playing the mediator. I meant that context to be carried into Putin's actions too but I realize that wasn't obvious. The man only tries to look like he's playing ball if it serves his agenda better.

Imperialists are all like that tbh. If you want to know the difference between a fascist and an imperialist, it's that the fascist thinks too small.

#also i am so sorry for having to hear the constant comparisons to ukraine #from so much of the pro-palestine left #yes victims tend to be humanized more if they're white #but it overlooks the fact that it would still not have mattered if putin wasnt an enemy of the west #that's what separates ukraine from palestinians. y'all happened to become victims to the political interests of opposing imperialists #none of these people give one good goddamn about what happens to the countries themselves and the people in them #y'all are all just pawns in these fuckers expansionist colonial agendas and their sympathies are all just as fake #it breaks my heart to see people who are suffering the same way under the same power structures to be pitted against each other #as though there's only so much empathy and moral conscience to go around #i really hope the blowback against the biden administration for palestine doesnt sabotage the single good cause the US has backed since WWII #it's like usamericans think the only two choices are imperialism or apathy #asks #wintersmitth #war in ukraine #putin #free palestine #imperialism #knee of huss

Hey! Sorry if you stopped giving a shit about them years ago but I know you were a big fandom blog back in the day so I just wanted to tell you Ian & Anthony got back together

it's a big day for my cringe ass lol. i am surprisingly invested in this reunion. something about two besties coming back together in full creative control of their 18 year old passion project really feels good in these often harrowing times.

#i am cringe but i am free #i haven't watched any smosh related content since like 2019 ish #the cast all seem really sweet and talented #but like there never was a consistent direction for the content #so it was tough to like get attached and excited i guess #plus i think i was just kind of moved on #but i'm interested to see what happens next #i think the best friend dynamic at the heart was what made the content so appealing in the first place #i just love deep friendships y'all #smosh #in 2023? it's more likely then you think #nerdingham inbox #still haven't changed my ask tag hhhhh

I just "Love" when a fanfic author completely woobifies Zuko in their work but with the added bonus of "What kinda monster could ever abuse such a nice and kindhearted kid!??? :'(" and they don't see anything wrong with this framing

#I'm in pain 😃#I see y'all #Either abuse victims have to be complete angels or you think they weren't actually abused #Either a child has to be a perfect little angel or you see them as a demon who *deserves* the abuse #Anyways that's also why I'm not interested in the interpretation of Mai being that #Who still holds a Deep Love for the parents ''Despite what they did to her'' and would do anything for them #Or the extremely kind sister who just absolutely Adores Her Lil Bro Uwu #Because besides being an abused child she's also a girl #And the expectations for this kind of thing are even higher for girls
