YANDERE FARMER BOY: INTRODUCTION

× note: kenji my beloved

⌗ A country bumpkin who just moved to the big city with his father, mother, four sisters, three brothers, grandparents, other grandparents, uncle, aunt, six cousins, dog, cats and cow. His family isn’t big at all, it’s normal sized! Your family is just pretty small, you know?

⌗ He was lost, wandering in the busy streets when you found him. He looked so pitiful and innocent: who in their right mind wouldn’t stop to help him? In the end, you directed him back to the apartment block he lived in with his family. (They brought up the entire floor.)

⌗ His family was so thankful they gave you their home grown watermelons - they’re super delish, and completely natural, unlike those supermarket fruits with nasty preservatives. 

⌗ From then on, you keep seeing this farmer boy everywhere! The park, the mall, the shopping centre, even in your neighbourhood! He must have a terrible sense of direction, huh? Either that, or he’s stalking you. 

⌗ But that can’t be it! Who’d think that? He’s a sweet summer child, with not a single mean bone in his body. Sure, he may be a little naïve, but he’s an honest and compassionate person. He treats everyone he meets with kindness and respect, and gains a lot of friends as a result. In fact, he’s already quite popular with the local community!

⌗ You think that after four months he’s pretty used to the city, but he still insists on you visiting him at his apartment - his siblings miss you! (So does he.) Everywhere you go, he’s right behind. You’re going to buy some groceries? What a coincidence: he’s been sent on some errands as well! Visiting the post office? He’s free right now, so he’ll accompany you!

⌗ If you ever try to excuse yourself from his clutches, he’ll attempt to guilt trip you into staying. His grandparents have been waiting to see you for a week already! His grandma even made your favourite snacks - won’t you visit? If that doesn’t work, he’ll resort to sticking to you like glue. It’s okay if you don’t know he’s there. He’s just protecting you, okay?

⌗ He loves to spend time with you, because you’re the person who noticed him and helped him! Everyone else ignored him because he looked poor, but you didn’t care about any of that! You’re such a blessing! He’ll be sure to treasure you forever and ever.

“Hehe, thanks so much, [Name]! You’re always so nice to me! I’ll be sure to repay you in every way I can.”

⌗ He may be from the country, but he’s no fool. He comes off as naïve, but that’s because he believes that he should only retaliate when the other person hits first. That way, it’s self defence!

⌗ Humans are scum. Of course, the only exception is his family and you, whom he loves with all his heart! He'll be overjoyed if you’d become part of his precious family too!

⌗ If anyone bothers you or even looks at you wrong, he’s already onto them. He may not be able to really read the room, but he still knows when someone holds hostile feelings or thoughts. After all, he knows plenty about hostility. The villagers were full of that hateful feeling when they drove out his family. That’s why they came to the city, y’know? But it’s not all bad; he met you!

⌗ Humans are like cows. They’re fat, and they make a lot of noise. They’re also quite dumb. Whenever a cow misbehaved in his old village, he would just give them a hearty slap. If that didn’t work, he’d knock them out. And if the cow continually made trouble, it became dinner’s beef. There are lots of similarities between cows and humans, actually!

⌗ Don’t worry if the beef patty tastes a little tough or gamey. Him and his mother assure you that it was just a really active cow. It mooed a lot, and ran around everywhere too! It was too bad the cow was getting too big, and too expensive to feed… Indeed, what a shame. 

⌗ His family can’t wait for you to move in with them! You practically sleep over with him everyday, why don’t you just stay there permanently? He’s a very (abnormally) strong boy, he can help you move all your things into an empty apartment! They have an empty unit anyway: it’s perfect for you to live in with him! 

⌗ His younger siblings are absolutely in love with you - each and everyone of his siblings claim that they’ll marry you when they grow up, but he’s quick to scoop you up in his arms and proclaim himself as your future husband! Wouldn’t that be a dream come through? Oh no, now the cousins are here too! They’re all clamouring for your hand in marriage! In the commotion, he whisks you away to kiss you feverishly (he’s jealous).

⌗ His parents live in the first unit with his youngest brother, and his brothers and sisters live in their respective apartment units. His uncle and auntie have their own apartment, as do his cousins and their two units. His grandparents have a unit, and his other grandparents have one too! With you and your lovely farmer boy sharing a unit, that makes nine units in total!

⌗ But wait, doesn’t this apartment complex have ten units per floor? As long as you don’t inquisitively ask about unit ten at the end of the hall, or the rotting stench that seems to waft from it, everything will be fine and dandy! You don’t need to know about the family’s extra beef stash.

“You make me super happy, [Name], and I’d love to spend the rest of our lives together. You’re always helping me, so I’ll make sure to repay that a thousand times over. Imma make you so happy, you’ll never wanna leave me!”

It makes me sad to think that if Farmer Boy somehow did get an adaptation, there's almost no way it could include the bullwhip scene. Because that's the best scene! The build-up of tension! The intense dread! And then the moment of triumph as justice is served and good prevails! It's a classic dragon-slaying moment that aligns with every child's innate sense of justice, but unfortunately, most modern minds would just see "teacher bull-whipping students in the classroom" and decide it's too immoral to show.

Which is terrible, because even from an adult perspective, this moment is so wild that you almost have to have it for the sheer insanity of the historical moment. These students literally killed the last teacher and no one has done anything about it! They just keep sending these kids to school! Someone had to do something drastic! Mr. Corse is acting out of sheer self-defense! And it's awesome to see these boys get what is coming to them! To see their smug superiority smashed so thoroughly that they're jumping out the windows to get away from the guy they planned to beat within an inch of his life (or beyond).

But that context would probably be a lot harder to convey on-screen, and a lot gorier as a movie than as words on a page. But it's still disappointing to envision a version of the story that lacks one of the most insane moments in all of children's literature.

Hmm. Thomas had said he planned to check the forest edge one last time before I head back but, well. He has a lot on his plate right now and he deserves to be able to focus on his current problems at the moment. I think I will take this over, one less thing on his plate. I would hate for us to miss anything that would lead to this plant spreading into the native ecosystem.

I can't believe Thomas was here the entire goddamn time. That bastard.

How do you just leave like that? Just disappear like nothing ever happened and none of it meant anything to you?? Like I meant nothing.

You know what I don't care anymore. I'm glad he found something so much fucking better that he didn't even feel the need to tell me. It's been years. I don't care.

The fires out and there's no reason for me to ever come back here again.

My young friends were just at my house for a bit and the 12-year-old borrowed my copy of Farmer Boy and started reading it out loud, except then she got to this line

and she went “ew 😵‍💫” and kept going but then my other friend kept interrupting her and she kept going back to reread that part

Eventually she got past it and nearly finished the next paragraph but she got interrupted again for a solid two minutes and when she finally continued reading,

“His underwear was creamy white”

and we all exploded and started scream laughing 😭

#my mascara was running down my face and i couldn’t breathe 💀 #and the best part is that the other friend had started playing opera music on her phone so it went ‘his underwear was creamy white’— aAaAaAA #we nearly died the 12yo was laughing so freaking hard #i cannot be mature with those two #i always think i'm becoming a mature and functioning level headed adult and then i hang out with them and i'm basically 12 again #elly's posts #farmer boy #laura ingalls wilder

Do you take requests? 👀👀 Like what would our yandere farm boy do if reader was already a cannibal?

YANDERE FARMER BOY: CANNIBAL LOVER

× cw: general yandere stuff; cannibalism (duh)

× note: ask and you shall receive <3

⌗ You’re a cannibal too? This makes things so much easier! He no longer has to lie to you about the tenth apartment - it’s just a huge freezer for their stockpile meat, so be sure not to get lost, okay? He hates lying to you, because a (married) couple shouldn’t have any hidden secrets between them.

⌗ His family is delighted to share their recipes with you. Particularly, his mother has a cookbook with a thousand and one methods of cooking meat, and they're all healthy, too! It’s a family specialty, perfected by many generations of this family before today.

⌗ At least once a week, his mother whisks you away to the kitchen of her unit to walk you through preparing dinner, and the entire family gathers round to appreciate the fruits of your labour. He’s delighted that you’re getting along swimmingly with the family, but be sure to pay attention to him too, okay? To make up for it, why don’t you and him go out hunting together? 

⌗ He’ll help you hunt your prey. In fact, he’s rather you let him do it for you - he’s been doing it his whole life, after all. It doesn’t matter if you’re more experienced than him, he just wants to do things for you, to help you with grocery shopping. It’s just a cute activity the both of you can bond on! It can be an influential politician or a random student walking home from school: as long as you have the cravings, he’s got the meat. And a freezer bag. 

⌗ He doesn’t see anything wrong with what he’s doing, because in his eyes, he’s just helping to feed you and make your life more comfortable! And besides that, now you two have one more thing in common with each other. Isn’t that cool?!

“Awh, I’m so glad you chose to trust me with this super secret stuff! It means you reaaaally love me, huh? I promise to never tell anyone else, hehe.”

⌗ I hope that, for your sake, you aren’t lying about being a cannibal.

Farmer Boy is a much sadder book ever since someone pointed out that all the detailed descriptions of food are probably Laura daydreaming about what it would have been like to always have plenty to eat as a child.

It's also much more interesting now that I know a little something about what was going on in the wider world of 1866 New York.

#farmer boy #little house on the prairie #this is a book that needs an adaptation and probably will never get one #it'd be so cool to see it as an animated series #maybe in a sketchy style slightly reminiscent of the book illustrations #the main trouble is that one of the most vivid scenes and biggest moments of triumph is a teacher bull-whipping his students #which is...not something that you can show in a children's movie these days

[vivi-ships]

I'm sorry but the y/a romance love triangle trope absolutely baffles me because like you have two choices:

Incredibly charming and sexy Romanian vampire prince who is obsessed with you, would defend you with his life and treats you like royalty

Or

Sweaty farm boy who didn't do anything while you were being bullied and made you ask him out because he didn't have the guts

I FEEL LIKE THERE IS AN OBVIOUS CHOICE HERE

#love triangle #vampire bf #farmer boy #vampire prince #cowboy #fantasy romance #its honestly an embarrassing y/a novel that absolutely falls into the many stereotypes of y/a romance #y/a #vi's thoughts

Silly drawing of an adorable farmer boy!

I came in a bit early today, I wanted to check the fields and double check everything was done right and nothing was missed before looking into reseeding. I didn't mean to overhear, I mean I don't even know what the call was about mind you, I don't speak Sinnohan.

Thomas has always been so soft spoken. I don't know what could possibly make him yell like that. He seems upset, but I don't want to cross any boundaries... I think I should ask, but maybe I will give him a moment to calm down first...

Little House in the Big Woods; Farmer Boy, by Laura Ingllas Wilder

So I read the series in reverse, but I figured it would be kind of hard to write about them that way if I group them together, so I'm going to write these in chronological order.

Big Woods as a story is very sweet. It really embodies the coziness that everyone talks about, really more so than any other book besides Farmer Boy.

Is all childhood memories. Ma making butter, and roasting pig's tail, Pa playing his fiddle and telling stories, holidays and celebrations with family.

Laura at the age of four and five is pretty carefree, as it should be.

It's odd, reading kids books when you're an adult, you get subtext that you probably wouldn't have gotten as a kid.

This happens more and more as the books go on, but in this one, I got something that I don't know was the intent or if I'm reading too much into it.

Big Woods starts out like a fairy tale, and it continues with that tone, and it makes me wonder if Wilder didn't, in some way, think back on that time as ideal because there really is a sense of safety as you follow Laura through the chores and games, and squabbles. The feel is carefree in a way that is mostly lost when the family goes west. I don't know how much kids will get when they read them, but I was always aware of the danger that the Ingallses faced. From Little House on the Prairie, forward, it is under the surface if not actively present. Big Woods, had the bear, but everything is very secure.

The ending is probably one of the most elegant pieces of writing that wasn't about nature, in the whole series.

"She thought to herself, 'This is now.' She was glad that the cozy house, and Pa and Ma and the firelight and the music, were now. They could not be forgotten, she thought, because now is now. It can never be a long time ago."

Farmer Boy, was written as a companion piece to Big Woods, according to Prarie Fires and the podcast. I cannot express how adorable I think that is.

This book follows a year in the life of nine year old Almanzo Wilder, near Malone, New York. It is even cozier than Big Woods. There are so many descriptions of food, I found myself getting hungry when reading it, and that usually doesn't happen to me. Big Woods, there was more to it, Almanzo is old enough to know something of his own mind, to get into scrapes and to interact with others more than Laura who was only five in the first book.

Plus, because the real Laura was working off of things told to her by her husband, a lot of the book is probably more fiction and has a clearer story arch, at least to me.

It was really interesting to me watching Almanzo learn the farming trade and all the various skills needed to go along with it, and just how much he enjoyed it. I think my favorite parts were when Almanzo was allowed to stay home from school and help out on the farm from threshing wheat, hauling timber, training young oxen, whatever, Almanzo was eager to learn.

Something that caught my attention near the end.

There's this point where a wagon maker in town asks Almanzo's father to apprentice Almanzo.

His father talks to his mother about it, and his mother is very upset, and goes on a rant about how if he did this, Almanzo would never be free, and would always be dependent on others for his living.

Now, there is this odd idea in the LH Fandom (community? It's huge, I don't know) that Laura and Almanzo's daughter Rose actually wrote the books. Honestly, and I will come back this in another ramble, if you read Pioneer Girl and you read Rose's writing, this is obviously not the case (IMO). But we do know, that Rose, was involved in editing her mother's books, and Laura did allow Rose to add things. Both mother and daughter's writing have the thread of being free and independent, but the tone is very different between the two.

This section feels like an addition made by Rose. She was a staunch Libritarian and her writing in its vein usually has a feel of righteous anger or frustration, telling the reader what's what.

Laura's shows the reader how one would do this, and is much quieter

This speech by Almanzo's mother is very out of character for the busy sweet natured woman in the rest of the book, and right after this tirade the tone goes back to normal. Almost as if it can be lifted out completely.

It was interesting to compare it to the rest of the book.

All in all, I enjoyed these two.
