Bringing your Partner over for dinner for the first time should be pretty harmless. Unless, you have a family of well-meaning nerds.

So, in Stardew Valley Demetrius gives you access to the cave, and then lets you have free rein with it. Like, what would he think of what the farmer would do with the mushroom cave?
Like, would he ever just see the farmer walking around town, munching on a suspiciously purple looking mushroom... one that looked exactly like the mushroom he catalogued yesterday.
Eventually, he asks the Farmer what they did with all the mushrooms once he had finished with them, and the farmer just responds with
"Oh, you know. I just eat them."
I think the Dad in Demetrius would be absolutely horrified, but the scientist in him would be professionally intrigued.
"Does uh, anything happen?"
"Oh yeah, the red spotted ones absolutely fuck me over, but the purple ones are pretty neat. The brown ones taste pretty good in a salad."
I believe Demetrius would start secretly monitoring the Farmer as well as the mushrooms, cataloging which ones they eat and what happens. Demetrius eventually works up the courage to try a red one, and one hospital trip and a very large bill later, does not understand how the farmer can scoff it down and still be functional.

I’ve seen so much discourse around this topic
Tumblr media
And frankly I’m the disappointed, you think the great masterminds of the Stardew Valley fandom would’ve figured it out sooner.
Sebastian’s biological father is….

Small idea for my Fellow Sebastian Lovers! Hear me out!!
Tumblr media
So we all know that Sebastian from Stardew is the famous emo marriage option, a very popular one at that if media doesn't fail me.
So during the time him and the farmer are starting to get to know each other, like see each other more, hang out more, all that fun definitely platonic pinning stuff
Its all nice and sweet, like Sebastian is starting to get somewhat comfortable, not a whole lot, but definitely better than before.
So much so that hes seen sometimes lingering just a little longer outside or inside when he leaves his room, kinda hoping to catch at least a glimpse of the farmer.
Doing little actions like these while he doesn't even realize it!
But someone does 👀
Not only Abigail and Sam- Not only the other two of the ASS squad- The two who share knowing smirks and small nudge nudges all while Sebastian is too busy talking with the Farmer infront of them.
More like stuttering and flustering about-
Who am I talking about?
Maru? Ehhh, not exactly.
The frogs? Yes but also no-
Demetrious?...HAHAHHAAHA-
No.
Robin? Nohoho- Oh wait, your right!
HIS OWN MOTHER-
Tumblr media
Robin, the beloved only Carpenter of this amazing town!
She notices after witnessing Sebastian cross by the hall, taking a tad bit longer glance at the door before leaving. Multiple times!
Shes like "Hm. Is he waiting for someone? One of his little buddies?"
But she never says anything cause she thinks its probably nothing, y'know?
Until one day it occurs-
Sebastian stays long enough for the farmer to waltz in, at the right time, at the right place.
Instantly she notices a change-
Sebastian sticks near the doorway, waiting for the Farmer to finish their order for a new addition to the farm, and once their finished, he greets them.
Robin stays near the counter, counting through whatever blue prints for the commission, but keeps glancing up.
We just love mothers, dont we?
Her jaw nearly hangs when Sebastian gets offered a crystal but gets a bit flustered at it, taking the gift with such gentle hands as he thanks the Farmer.
He ducked his head a little, gave a small chuckle, and grateful nod- all while giving the Farmer all his attention without an inch of seeming like he wanted to be or hide somewhere else.
She knows. She immediately knows.
Tumblr media
But she doesnt say a word-
Not to Sebastian at least-
She does tell Demetrious a bit of it, the more she notices.
What can you say? The woman, who thought her son just wasn't interested in just about anyone or anything besides his room and computer stuff, finally sees her little man find someone he's clearly interested in.
Demetrious is all like "Thats great, honey :)"
....We know you were just thinking of your work, Demetrious, you dont gotta lie. 💀
Anyway! Robin feels satisfied, knowing her Sebby will probably-
Wrong, she knows that man will never confess on his own terms.
She starts planning like its the Egg Festival and she got put in charge of hiding all the eggs- aka, the clues for Sebby to figure out
First- Find out if the Farmer likes him back!
Shes not just gonna do it if she knows theres a chance the Farmer will reject Sebastian. If that were the case, she would let Sebby handle it the way he feels is just.
The next times the Farmer comes around, she asks subtle questions.
"How's the Farm doing? It doesnt feel too lonely, does it?"
"I seen you met my son, Sebastian! Hes treating you good, I hope!"
"Do you like my son-" (Robin no-)
Little stuff like that until eventually- she gets her answer. The one shes been hoping for!
The Farmer, despite their usually calm persona, turns a wee bit heated at the cheeks, scratching their neck and giggling/chuckling nervously while answering yes, Sebastian is a good guy!
HOOK LINE SINKER-
Boys, we got em.
Robin-
Tumblr media
Now Robin can do what mothers do best, interfere
(Mom, if you are ever reading this cause whatver reason, I love you and promise that isnt the truth-") what I said, y'know, like a liar.
Now that we think about, Robin probably cant do too much in the position shes in. She doesnt want to overwhelm her son, nor does she want to accidentally scare the Farmer away. Hmmm.
Maru, the beautiful genius comes in with, "What if you sent Sebastian to help the farmer ?"
So she does.
Anytime she can, Robin asks Sebastian if he can either go drop off something or help the Farmer bring something into the shop, or plain and simple like "Sebby, I need you to run this fish down to the Farmer."
"Why do (they) need a fish? Cant they just get some-"
"Go talk to your crush already-"
"MOM-"
He does so.
She doesnt just do that, whenever they're at the Saloon, she'll ask Sebastian and the Farmer to help her bring drinks to their table even if they arent sitting with them.
Maru even pitches in sometimes with asking Sebastian if he can ask the Farmer to bring her something for one her experiments/robots.
Anything and every chance is given directly to Sebastian to talk to the farmer when hes free.
And it pays off- On calls Sebastian takes for Robin from the Farmer, Robin can hear him laughing a bit with them after getting their order in.
Maru catches them jokingly nudging each other as they walk to the table with drinks.
And Sebastian seems to take a good bit longer to come home even though they have a shortcut to the Farmer just a little higher up the mountain.
Even Demetrious commented about one time seeing Sebastian snuffing out his smoke as the Farmer immediately came into view, and quickly striking up a conversation as they were walking through.
The girls were giddy with excitement and Demetrious was.....there.
Listen, I dont hate him but he isnt exactly my favorite either-
Then it came!
The day the Farmer walked into the shop, grasping a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a Tear Drop in the other.
Robin had to hide the large and practically beaming grin on her face with a handbook of what you guessed? Carpentry, infront of her.
Maru noticed the Farmer walking past with a handful wave and waved back so fast and so giddy like.
When the Farmer came from the basement, you could tell no one can wipe the smile cemented onto their face. The items were gone and they were basically skipping in their walk out.
And that ladies, gents, and nonbinary boos, is how Robin (noname), Pelican Town's only Carpenter earned her rightful spot upfront for her son and new in-laws wedding in the future.
And you can just imagine the look on Sebastian's face when he realized how his mother had a hand in getting him and his now S.O. together HAHA💜💜

My opinions on Maru and Seb's family
Huh, something not about Elliott...how different.
I have some complicated feelings about the fam as I don't really dislike any of them but I can see their faults. To try and make a long LONG post a bit shorter, I'll just mention a fault I see with every person, a way they either can or could have fixed it and if I see any reconciliation specifically with Sebastian and Demetrius, the most obvious strained relationship.
Let's start with the character I most relate to, Demetrius. I like the guy. He seems very nice, cares about the environment, and he clearly loves his wife and daughter. Where he falters is obviously how he raised Sebastian. But not exactly how I think most have said he has. He clearly tried to raise Sebastian from both the book in his room called "Practical Tips For First-Time Step-Dads" and Sebastian's dialogue criticizing Demetrius's attempts at discipline. At some point though, he seemed to have just given up on trying to the point where he doesn't even mention Seb in his dialogue. Do I think Demetrius was being malicious? No. I'm under the personal headcanon that he's probably on the spectrum (from other unrelated dialogue and events) so he possibly just struggled to communicate. Let us remember that the man never says anything negative about Sebastian. I think he should have spent more time trying to understand Sebastian rather than giving up to raise Maru instead.
Then there's the main boy himself. Sebastian. I do not think he's mainly at fault, however, I do think he has some fault. He is very quick to make snide comments about his sister and step-father and while Demetrius can be argued to be deserved, Maru has wanted nothing more than to be closer to Sebastian so it seems oddly cruel. I will give Seb some leeway since he was clearly a child when his father left and that can cause some scars and children should not be expected to act as maturely as adults should. We don't know much about his bio dad but we can at least assume he's not in Seb's life anymore for whatever reason. I do understand that can lead to abandonment issues and a need to distance yourself so you don't get hurt but I'm pretty sure that's also the catalyst to the strain on his relationship with his step-dad. Not the cause, the cause is mutual distancing, but the catalyst. I think Seb needed to be more open with Demetrius and Maru rather than shutting them out and he still has a chance to do that, Maru still wants to have a sibling relationship, Demetrius still has that book, neither have completely given up on him, but he needs to accept that olive branch before they do.
I have some commentary on Robin's involvement in that strained relationship or more accurately, the lack of involvement. Robin does seem like a loving wife (if a bit mean to Demetrius sometimes) and an attentive mother being doting on her son and daughter... though I do think she babies Sebastian a little. But that's not my issue with her. I think she was way too distant with her family's relationship with each other. She's basically the glue that holds these people together and we can only assume that she simply watched her family grow distant. No one mentions her trying to repair the damage and she doesn't show concern about how distant Sebastian is becoming from the family. She mentions Seb's distance from her but not Maru or Demetrius. There isn't much evidence of her stepping in to either convince Seb to give Demetrius a chance or to inform Demetrius of the actions he's doing that are driving Seb away. I feel like she should have stepped in more.
Then there's Maru. Probably the most faultless person in the family. Like Seb, she was a child when the strains in her family's relationship started so there was little she could do. She wanted to have a sibling relationship with Sebastian but he was too closed off so she just stuck with having a relationship with her parents instead. I think she definitely could tone down on the condescension as if she can show that to the farmer, she's probably said worse to her family. But other than that, she was simply a kid born into a distant family.
Wow, this ended up being longer than I thought it would be...
Uh, in conclusion, this family needs to talk to each other. Communication is important. And probably family therapy. Lot's of family therapy.

I am prefacing this with I love Stardew Valley and Demetrius and I am not trying to start a fight. This is a frustration I feel with the game as well as many things I've seen. Just. Sharing it.
You know man I've been playing Stardew since. Forever. And so I've seen dialogue changes quite a bit. Vanilla dialogue can be... repetitive, and so when it changes I very much Notice.
And like. Demetrius' writing, whether intentionally or not, as gotten both much more racist and ableist in the last few years. And maybe it's not on purpose! Maybe it's totally subconscious on CA's part! I don't wanna assign malice. It's easier to think it's ignorance and accidental.
And it's easy to assume it's partially fandom response, considering how much people hate him. And CA is very fandom oriented.
But Demetrius' writing is bad. It is uniquely bad. It is bad in a way that none of the others are (yes I am repeating myself). And that is oh so very obvious in any run where you get hearts up with that family.
Oh the singular Black man in town totally ignores his white step-son, treats his white wife terribly, and dotes on his mixed race daughter as if she's the only person who matters? Insults everything his wife makes? Makes vague threats at the farmer?
"Oh but it's not because he's Black!" How do you know? Are you inside CA's head? Do you know what he thinks? Do you know every unconscious bias of a man you've never met? No. You don't. I bet you don't even know all of yours. Fuck knows no one does.
Don't defend him when you don't even know him. Listen. Listen. LISTEN.
Stardew Valley is a wonderful, awesome game. But it's made by a flawed man (everyone is flawed) and it reflects his biases pretty clearly if you ask me (as many works of art do).
And if that offends you, maybe you should ask yourself why. Maybe you should ask yourself why it's so important this game and man are perfect instead of acknowledging that this amazing game has flaws that can make the game uncomfortable or frustrating for many players. Flaws that diminish characters who could otherwise be very interesting.
I also said Ableist. I'd go on a whole rant about that, too, but because Demetrius' neurodivergence is implied, not explicit, it's hard to know what is and isn't meant to be taken. But again, making the clearly "different" character so awful to others is not ideal. Especially when they're the only one.
And before you ask: Yes. This has a lot to do with Demetrius being the only Black man in town. And fitting into a lot of awful stereotypes along the way. I'd be much much MUCH more lenient if there were other Black men in Stardew. But there aren't. Demetrius is all we get.
And he just keeps getting worse every update.
I love him so much. He's a neurodivergent father. He's the only non-white parent in town. He's the only step-parent in town. He and Robin and Seb and Maru have the only blended and mixed family.
There's so much nuance to him and to his relationships and to his family and his backstory. There could be so much going on with him and science, or him and Maru, or him and anything.
But nah he hates fun, talks about how dancing sucks (even though he dances every week) and seemingly hates both his wife and step-son in many dialogues.
Why? Why? It makes no sense to me in-universe.
Watsonian versus Doylist analysis. When there's no in-universe explanation that follows the world. Look to the people creating the universe.

Random Headcanon with Abigail, Sam, Sebastian and their families
Many years ago, Pelican Town was a smaller place. It wasn’t a community, it was a group of individuals trying to get by, or families at best. One of those families was Kent and Jodi. Kent, as a younger, slightly more starry-eyed yet still realistic man, knows a war could be impending, and made the decision to move there, as Pelican Town was fairly insulated from the potential terrors of war, and he above all else wants his pregnant wife to be safe. With his duties as a soldier, he can fight in the war knowing that at home, Jodi, Sam, and eventually Vincent will be taken care of. Just by sheer luck though, it was only a couple of years after Vincent was born that he was called to arms, giving him plenty of time to spend with Jodi and Sam during those crucial years when Sam was still a child, and he only wished that he could have done the same for Vincent.
Later down the line, Pierre and Caroline moved in, not yet married, yet young, dumb, and in love. Caroline, initially enticed by getting away from the city for something different, made the decision to move there, with Pierre’s full support with that sentiment. But as Pierre met the other villagers, he realized that with the aid and support of the old farmer on the far east side of town, he’d be able to support a family financially and then some. And thus, the two of them decided to stick around Pelican Town. And hey, shortly after the marriage, Caroline has a kid on the way! With Abigail welcomed into their family and the financial future for them being secure (until the old farmer’s unfortunate passing), things were looking rather peachy for them.
Abigail and Sam weren’t initially close growing up. Abigail was a rebellious gal that wanted to go on adventures and learn how to use a sword and learn magic and get in touch with her occult side, but she still kept to herself. Because guess what, wanting to do all those things does not mean she’s an extrovert, though she obviously can open up when you’re a little closer to her. Meanwhile, Kent knows his time there in Pelican Town wasn’t gonna last forever, so he did his best to always be there for Sam. Plus, having not seen the morbid realities of war yet meant that he still had that spark of idealism in him that’d be lost over the war, so he still can connect to his son. Perhaps he might have overdone it a tad, but seeing Sam grow, gaining newfound interests in skateboarding and music, and sneaking him into the saloon to play billiards (though neither him nor Kent were great at it, unfortunately), he’s had a pretty good childhood surrounded by his family. And Kent believed it was all worth it.
But by the end of it, Kent had to leave, leaving Sam and Vincent without a father in the house. Sam was quite a bit older at this point, and had a lot more agency in his life, so he decided to get a job at the local Jojamart to somewhat fill the role of supporting the family. But every time he’d walk by Pierre’s shop to work, he’d always see Abigail. Being a small town, he said to himself “screw it” and introduced himself. They chatted, but they never got too too close. Their personalities had the potential to clash. Abigail was a little reserved and was liable to lash out with mounting stress at home with her lifestyle. Sam was oblivious to those emotions and lacked the tact to navigate through that. But luckily, despite that potential, there wasn’t any concern about that happening, just in time for another family to move into the mountain area.
Robin moving in to Pelican Town was considered as a blessing to the town. Not too long after her and Demetrius moved in, the old farmer passed away. The town started falling apart, but Robin’s support certainly slowed it down for the farmer’s grandchild to move in and pick up where their grandfather left off. And it was certainly helpful for Demetrius as well. With his research, and with Maru completing all of her primary studies, he started having her assist her with the research now that they’re in a rural area, rich with foliage, minerals from the mines, the beach a short walk away and even an old farm. And as for Sebastian, his work as a developer meant he can stay at home and do his work as long as the internet stays up.
During a particularly rainy day, Sebastian took the opportunity to take a step outside his house to go to the beach. He can be outside and by himself, away from his family for a good period of time. He takes an umbrella with him, but doesn’t open it so he can feel the rain fall on him. As he passes by Pierre’s shop briefly window shopping, the door opens, and Abigail sees Sebastian for the first time, despite him living there almost a couple of weeks at this point. She introduces herself to him and briefly mentions that she’s a bit peeved from her parents and needed a breather. Sebastian understood the sentiment wholeheartedly, but gave a general “That’s understandable.” Just as Sebastian was going to continue on his way to the beach, fast footsteps can be heard going their direction before a loud crash. Sam slipped on the wet floor and knocked over a nearby trash can. Sebastian and Abigail go to him (Abigail out of concern, Sebastian mostly because it was on the way to the beach regardless) to check if he’s okay.
Apparently, Sam was running late to work since usually he doesn’t work on a Friday, but Jojamart asked for him to come in and that was more than an hour ago. As Sam checks himself, Abigail sees the portable game console lying on the floor, and her eyes glimmer. They start a full conversation about the game he had on there, and notably, Sebastian sticks around to listen to them chat. The conversation goes on just long enough before Sam realizes that he’s still running late and gets ready to go to work. Abigail points out that the game might get damaged from the rain, if the fall didn’t initially break it. Sebastian pops open his umbrella and hands it to Sam, which he immediately thanks him as he checks the game to see that it is still working. He asks when he should return it to him, and Sebastian shrugs. Sebastian wasn’t expecting to talk to anyone today, and he’s been sticking around them for a good chunk of time at this point, so he wasn’t ready to actually say much beyond a quick “hi” and “bye”. Sam proposes the Saloon where there’s a billiards table, and Sebastian agrees, as a pretty decent pool player when he was younger. Abigail pops in and asks if she can tag along, and both of them agree, Sam with far more enthusiasm. Sam leaves, game turned on and being played, and all urgency to make to work dissipated.
Finally, Sebastian takes his leave, but Abigail asks if she could tag along to the beach. He declines, saying that he’d prefer to be alone for now, but will be okay with meeting up with her and Sam at the Saloon later in the day. With a lighthearted sigh, she nods her head and head back into the store.
From there, they made it their weekly hangout to go to the saloon, and they become closer and closer friends from that point onwards.

When I first started playing stardew valley, I didn’t know who I could or couldn’t romance. When I first arrived in town, I really wanted to date Robin, but she was married.
Darn
Forward to my first meeting with Demetrius and I decided I’d romance him instead.
Found out he was married
Darn
Fast forward to my first visit to the pub with everyone there. Saw both Robin and Demetrius together.
Realized my two first romance choices were 1) Not romantic options and 2) MARRIED TO EACHOTHER

Me: Wh--
Demetrius: Just some food for thought.
Me: Sir, Maru is my sister in law, I don't know what the hell is going on right now.
Later
Demetrius: Sorry if I was being presumptuous back there.
Me: ...Bro you really should be apologizing for immediately assuming I was going to cheat on Sebastian. Who is YOUR stepson and HER brother. What the fuck is wrong with you?
