#OFF SET SPRING

[ejsuperstar]

Imagine you live in pelican town. The new farmer has been here a couple weeks now and seems to be settling in, except... He's picking the weirdest friend choices. Like sure it's not weird to befriend the local fisherman, especially when he has an interest in fishing himself, but you're pretty sure you've seen him rooting through the Saloon's garbage with the local homeless man. As well, he keeps harassing the poor guy who works at Joja even though you KNOW he doesn't want to be friends with him.

And since you're on the topic of weirdness, isn't it odd he seemingly runs everywhere at a full sprint? Or just... Eats entire raw fish while fishing for "energy reasons"...

...

Despite all that, it's too early to call him off putting or anything... He has been engaging in town traditions, and he's started helping out with the old community centre. He's probably like the rest of you. Someone with a few quirks, that will fit in with the valley great!

Surely he can't get any weirder... Right?

#been playing my new sdv save some more recently #i keep thinking about the whole “eldritch” farmer thing #where the famer is just... objectively strange #i fucking love it #i love the idea of the farmer being some sort of higher being #someone who doesnt understand local conventions #someone who doesnt get why its considered weird to eat whole raw fish fresh from the river #or how it might be offputting to greet someone for the first time using their name #but at the same time #this eldritch entity genuinely wants to be a part of the community #they want to learn and they want to love and they want to learn to love #i see minmaxxer/speedrunner eldritch famer a lot #mainly played off for gags #but not genuinely loving their live in the valley eldritch farmer #at least not often #theres so much temptation to write an eldritch farmer x shane fanfic set in spring 1 or some shit lmao #text post #stardew valley #sdv #sdv farmer

this morning, in that bit of sleep between waking up too early and waking up too late, i dreamt of finding a wasps nest hanging in the eaves of a childhood home

i saw twenty-two goslings yesterday

without warning or preamble, my dad started texting me daily bible verses at five thirty in the morning. so far, the selections have included two minor old testament prophets and one pseudonymous sibling of you know who

i am currently listening to a lot of cavity, p.s. eliot, waxahatchee, weed, and live the fall albums. also, a found playlist that starts donnie darko then wanders down the wrong kind of alley, and when i truly need a moment of genuine serendipity, a found skins uk series one through seven playlist on shuffle

after being separated for almost four years, i still tear up every time i get to visit with two fry and holler

#we dont usually shoot on this part of the set #south florida #sludgecore #tomato jam #snugglepiles #shattered spheres #the calm energy of someone who has been through a lot #goslings #drunk on schaden freude #ceramic #whales #i am taking another step off the path soon and the feelings are complicated #generational interstellar travel #bathrooms #counters #combs #vanities #the point where the abstraction has become the focus instead of the thing the abstraction represents #see you on the other side #second blue moon epoch #first spring

Yall, it’s like 1:30 am where I am. Mae is one of my all time favorite bands. I know in the past I’ve daydreamed of some of the tracks being about ATLA (I used to imagine the song Boomerang about Sokka x Suki back when the show was still on TV). Someone tell me why I am now headcannon-ing this song being about Sokka and Zuko. What I’d pay to have someone adapt this song into like a comic or an animated music video

#fire lord zuko #prince zuko #zukka #sokka #atla #atla zuko #atla sokka #avatar the last airbender #avatar the last airbender sokka #avatar the last airbender Zuko #multisensory aesthetic experience #maeband #Mae #like i know the music video would never happen in a billion years since it’d cost so damn much to animate like a 10 minute ass song #especially since I’m broke af and I’ve been unemployed since fucking January #but one can dream #like #ok the first third of this album is Zuko probably #I’m still trying to rework how I headcannon this series to this album #because this album used to be 3 separate albums #which explains why this album is like 2 hours long lmao #(m) is for (m)orning #(a) is for (a)fternoon #(e) is for (e)vening #so like generally speaking I see the first third of this album about spring #the middle third is about summer/fall #and the last third would be about winter #but it’s been a minute since I’ve thought how this album could be set to the ATLA universe again #please just ignore tf about me I’m just rambling my ass off

And here I thought I knew what allergies were before.

#allergies #MCAS #spring #Boy Am I Suffering #I don’t know wtf #i’ve always had MCAS symtoms but this fucking year #it’s decided to try to kill me #everything I eat sets my body off #heat #soap #POLLEN #cat dander #I can’t even look at a potato #it’s so bad suddenly #😭 #anyway happy to see you flowers #sorry I got snot on you

nesta's still gonna be mean to you even when she likes you. the difference is that she's the only one allowed to be mean to you and she will start a physical altercation if someone dares to open their mouth to say some shit against you.

#ripped this off the og nesta blog bc it made me snicker #nesta to sb she loves: you're an idiot #sb else: yeah haha moron #nesta: what the fuck did you just say to them? no say it again. speak up. go on say it again #i stand with my cancelled wife #nesta starting full on brawls at court summit meetings bc somebody tried opening their mouth about her bastard mate #nesta laying someone out at one of the war camps bc they tried breathing in emerie's direction #nesta being the reason the prythian conventions become a thing bc she set spring on fire after hearing about tamlin's comments that one tim #she's so scary sometimes and i love her soooo dearly

Ingo and Emmet are technically celebrities back in Unova, or at least Nimbasa, it would make sense if a paparazzi or journalist or someone from the news came from Nimbasa to see and report back to the city what the twins are doing. They're nosy and you know what sells? Whether or not the celebrity is dating, it could be the husband protecting the farmer from bad publicity or them being super proud of their spouse! It's not a date per say but it'd be an interesting event give or take.

Kade and I were talking about this, but anything to do with paparazzi and publicity will probably have more to do with Elesa. We don't want to stray too far from canon, so most celebrity antics will be more to do with being associated with her.

They're technically celebrities... but not quite! They don't exactly have much star-power of their own in canon. When you disembark on the Battle Subway and talk to the other random NPCs, pretty much everyone hates them; they all say stuff about how Ingo and Emmet are suspicious or weird (I remember that vividly because it honestly made me feel a little sick and I had to put down the game for a couple of days ;;;>.>). Few can appreciate their autism. 😔

The competitive battling scene isn't particularly big in Unova (outside of Blueberry Academy but... that's pretty contained). Dedicated battlebrains like Hilda and Hilbert don't make up a significant amount of their passengers. Most passengers are just average people on their commute to work. Most people challenge the Battle Subway for the sake of it (a bit of a tourist attraction like the carnival area nearby), lose really badly, get discouraged, and never come back unless if they need to use the subway to get somewhere.

In the railfan scene, they usually aren't even special guests at train conventions! They're regular attendees who had time to befriend Cilan at their leisure. He's probably the only person who does their stamp rally!

Being a Battle Facility Head doesn't necessarily constitute celebrity status. Lenora has a perfectly normal husband and marriage with no drama whatsoever! All the Unovan Gym Leaders have other jobs and lives of their own; similarily, submas are just conductors first and foremost. It wouldn't be so absurd for a middle aged train conductor to settle down with some farmer.

They're just some guys. They're even worse in Stardew as regular old train conductors; there's no battling scene to draw in challengers and the scenery itself doesn't even have much worth visiting! It's a sad truth, but most people wouldn't notice if they went missing *cough* they will. The "main plot" for them is how their relocation cough bringing that to the spotlight had a bit of a toll on them mentally.

On a sillier note, I do like the thought that most people were interested in them (superficially). Ingo did end up winning first place in a Unova sexyman poll for being tall, dark, and handsome. Emmet's still bitter about being voted third place despite being his identical twin. The Battle Subway got busy when people were under the impression that Ingo was a edgy, brooding, gentleman but that perception was quickly turned around the second he opened his mouth. The hype died down for them after a year so now they're back to being just some guys.

Anyways... Probably the closest thing we have to a "paparazzi" event on our itinerary so far is just Cilan being submas' number one fan (one and only fan?) as usual.

#mail car connecting line #THEY'RE SOOOO MISERABLE AFTER MOVING TO STARDEW I'M SORRY SUBMAS #We have Cilan sprited. I finished his portraits. We finished mapping ANVILLE TOWN #He's sitting in the drafts because I'm lagging on figuring out station repair stuff #We plan on adding him as a roommate candidate later since he decides to just work there... submas fanboy gone off the rails #SPEAKING OF CILAN. Their birthdays match! #The stamp rally episode was released in Japan on October 6th so that's why Submas have their birthdays set to Fall 6 #It released in the US on March 3rd so Cilan's birthday is set to Spring 3

[rubenesque-as-fuck]

Took a new spring-themed set and I still have to edit it down and stuff but I'm pretty pleased with it overall!

#new set #couldn't resist using the new plant shelf as a backdrop #also nice to get a set taken a few days in advance for once #I'm always putting new projects off for too long and then scrambling when I need to put up new content #so this time I don't have to rush as much #and can post it all starting on the first day of spring 😊

Scrimbly Jacqueline 19/20: I gave her a cloak. bitches love cloaks! (i'm bitches)

I also drew her staff! She has one, too :)

This nearly became Sorceress-Warlock Jacqueline from THIS AU. Didn't feel like drawing that fit tho so it's just regular canon Jacqueline, lol. (but picturing the scars and the eye patch she doesn't actually need but wears for the aesthetic was a FUN mental image at the beginning of the week! then the horrors persisted and I went WHO HAS THE SPOONS. NOT ME)

Drawing the whooshy cloak was fun. Colouring it was even MORE fun. I was going CRAZY last night trying to find a post I made where I described Jacqueline's staff?? I COULDN'T FUCKING FIND IT AND I S2G I READ IT THE OTHER DAY. LIKE EARLIER THIS WEEK. So hopefully my visual memory served me WELL and I don't find the post and go FUCKING EH at a later date, lol.

this scrimbly was very much a scrimbly lol. I think it took me like 10 minutes to doodle. I'm having a LOW ENERGY WEEK. Feelin burnt out af and dreading the weekend! Woo! Almost DIDN'T scrimbly! Thinking this week's little down spin is gonna push back Frostmas crossposting which is SUPER RUDE bc like. THE AESTHETIC. UPDATING ON THE UNLUCKY DAY. BOO!

RIGHT. DANI RANTS ASIDE, WANT SOME CS LORE/FACTS? BC I GOT SOME! WOO:

All four Frosts would pass the warlock test--the question is, do they fully embrace it? Fino does. Fiera does but like, second to the summer sprite training. Jack learns what's useful/what he wants/needs to. Jacqueline was FINE not warlocking, she's good with the snow, BUT Jack keeps nagging her to at LEAST take the test and when she passes it he's like c'mon. c'mon. warlock training. you know you want tooo I could teach youuuuu

She holds off for a VERY long time then gets schemey brain a couple of centuries down the line and goes for it. It's spoilery and I do want to keep this one close to my chest, BUT:

Essentially she learns that she has something someone needs/wants back and she can only do that by getting into the Warlock training! She uses this to try and bring two estranged people closer and when it doesn't go well she hits Jack up after hours and is like "so my plan is going. hmm. bad. let's start warlock training?" and Jack's like YEAH LET'S FUCKING GOOOO bc A) he told her so. B) he;s been wanting to get her started with the warlock biz for YEARS! AND out of ALL THE TEACHERS SHE'S COMING TO HIM (well. unofficially) and C) he is also enjoying the tea from her little scheme and about the two people in question, lol.

Anyway, enjoy the scrimble! Next week is some prohibition fun ft. Winter, I THINK. I'll have to check my notes 🤔🤔🤔

(and yes the heart clasp and pink in the staff are bc Dite)

#yes I HAVE been writing down the scrimble ideas as they pop in the noggin! #it's been HELPFUL LOL #richard found my old cs fact about dite lifting jacquie and xander like dumbells bc she stronk #so that's the week after next! lol #we'll see how that one goes :p #scrimbly jacquelines #dani speaks #dani doodles #cs posting #between mother's day fast approaching and having to go see her this weekend AND the MIL #and a very stressful sitch with a pal. #and general frustration this week #it is a recipe for DISASTER. AH. #good news: making a tres leches cake #turned out PROPER CRUMBLY and has been absorbing all tres leches all night #i can't wait to see how it turns out post work #AND i'm seeing something rotten this weekend so that's EXCITING #THERE ARE SOME GOODS IN THE BAD. BUT BOY THE BADS ARE STRESSFUL #it's actually very hard to balance two sets of families as a fun fact!!! #making time for richard's side and my side is HARD when one doesn't respect boundaries #and the other gets pissy and whiny when we try to divide time evenly #i need a month off. long ass vacation. somewhere with shit cell reception #ANYWAY. MIND THE VENTING IN THE TAGS. WHEE! SCRIMBLE! #i was like. meh about it last night #but this morning when i went to grab it i was like oh she's STUNNING #the hands aren't bad at ALL tho the thumbs got eated by her staff :( #crystal springs #FORGOR THE MAIN TAG LMAO #ocs #Jacqueline Frost

my design for Glamrock Spring Bonnie ✨ finished it just in time for Ruin heck yes

Faz Engineer: “Sir, we may have accidentally revived William Afton…”

Faz CEO: “Wh- AGAIN?! HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN TWICE?!”

#pendrawing #colored pencil #ref page #five nights at freddy's #william afton #springtrap #spring bonnie #lore dump time: #springtrap is insanely popular with fans for some reason #so he was a natural fit to replace glamrock bonnie #faz engineers set up a ‘controlled’ fight with monty to make him more springtrappy #but things got out of hand #william had already haunted him #and had just come off years of torture/hell #he fights back hard and hates being repaired #bc they have to take the safety off and all the bad thoughts return #anyway they’re all friends now #william plays rhythm guitar in the band ^^ #(a scaled up replica of his original fender strat owo) #faz ent pretend his programming is working as intended #the fans are crazy for him #everyone’s happy! #oh yeah and something about being revived to take down the mimic but he forgets about that #I’m sure it’ll be fine

[faunandfloraas]

Would love to know why international acts always seem to come out here in the dead of summer. Nothing says fun like performing in 40° celsius heat

#its especially funny when its some norwegian metal band my brother likes or something #like are your tour managers actually trying to kill you who planned this #but also a reason i barely go to concerts bc its like lol pay 180 bucks to stand in blaring heat 🫶 #um.... im okay #i went to florence and the machine a while back and while it was a great concert and she did amazing #it was a 40 degree day and even tho she didnt come out til the sun was setting it was still 37° out and there was no seating #so i ended up stripping half my dress off and just having the underskirt and my bra on and so did p much everyone else bc we were dying #and she kept stopping the show bc she was seeing people faint in the audience and would ask security to go check on them #also winter here is perfect??? like it doesnt snow it doesnt rain much its often 20-23 c during the day so im just ????? #do a winter show and leave the summer shows for places that are ice tundras in the winter or something idk #if skz does come here this yr which they might not i mean there was 4 years between the first concerts here and the last #but i hope its in autum winter early spring lol

I'll try to get to those Valentine's asks hopefully today but I might have to answer them a little later (definitely this week though!)

I think I have had a bladder infection for like 2 weeks now which is setting off my longcovid symptoms aka lots of pain and fatigue. I'll find out tomorrow at least so I hope some antibiotics will do the trick and I'll have back my energy soon 🙏

#ღ — ooc #( I've had one before but I had different symptoms ) #( so I waited for quite a while but longc is no joke ) #( there's only 2 things that set it off ) #( cold weather and being sick ) #( and it feels like spring outside so that's definitely not the problem haha )

Big Dice Update:

The metre tall dice is very good but it is difficult so say that is bigger than some of the other “biggest” dice I have seen, and now that the technique has been worked out it isn’t that hard to do the math for the next size up, and the sewing is not technically challenging it is just slow, so like, I may as well go for broke in my attempt to make the biggest roll-able D20 there is.

I found some $4 a metre light grey canvas at Spotlight while I was home over the long weekend but they only had 5 metres of it and I needed 10. Fortunately the one up here in the city also had some, so I now have the 10 metres required to make both the 135cm (bigger than the biggest roll-able dice I have found record of online) and 70cm (can fit through a door - just) D20s.

I have ordered a pack of rainbow dyes to colour it (I just want big random rainbow splotchy batik) which hopefully gets here by this weekend, so we can get some spray bottles and make a day of it. I still need to order a hundred+ dollars worth of zipper and twill tape, and then go back to Spotlight for about $30 of the cheap poplin for the tubes.

As always, the noodles will be the last bit bought, because these two will require another 20 of them, and my apartment is quite small.

Oh, and I would like to take the real big one to the medieval fair, which is in less than 4 weeks.

I make such good choices.

#if you have been playing along with the math you will have realised that these two will have a combined cost of about $300 #and yes it would have been a lot cheaper if I had gone with a whatever fabric instead of deciding to custom dye it #but I had a vision with the original one that I set aside so that it would be more cost effective when I wasn't sure that it would work #and while it is very cool I can't help but think that the complexity of the print really distracts from it #so this time I am doing it in my big rainbow untied dye and no-one can stop me #I gave myself a $100 fabric budget and managed to find a cheap enough canvas that even with spending $50 on the good dye it came out under #and the colours might be slightly darker but that is a fair trade off to be using a stronger canvas instead of sheeting for the same price #then I will have the very impressive one and the one that I can get in and out of my apartment without having to disassemble it #although the changes I have planned for the inner tubes should make it much easier to assemble and disassemble #I will have the big one for being impressive and the little one for being small enough that I can photograph the process #oh I have just remembered I need to buy some round spring clips too because the ones I have were a bit finicky

spent the last solid couple of hours going through my old tumblr likes in order to have things better archived... unfortunately didn't make a note of how many I started at but it was probably in the mid 2000s and I've only cut it down to 2000 now. this is gonna take so long

#ode by ode #spring cleaning ig #there are so many things I should be doing instead!!!!!! #but I've been trying to just get more into my computer and browser setup #we started off making sure calibre was set up the way i wanted since i'm 100% gonna be an anna's archive bitch now that i've heard about it #and then I've been making reading lists #and organizing my bookmarks and bookmarking all of the sites i had saved in liked tumblr posts that i wanted to actually look at #set up my rss reader but haven't put anything in it yet #idk the onset of me realizing how much i do love archival management #and then the fact that my gf is sharing her vpn acct with me #sort of added together into this internet weirdo vibe i'm actively cultivating #and i mean i already lowkey had it going on #like i've been a firefox girlie since high school #and i def do a lot w privacy and the firefox qol extensions #plus i've been... how shall I say... well versed in the usage of shadow libraries for a couple years now as well #but fringe web things haven't been on my radar NEARLY enough #and i've been meaning to make actual lists and compilations of advice and book and game recs for eons #so just. continuing with that #even if i don't do anything else for a couple months i'm glad i made a decent dent in the tumblr likes bc they've been eating at my soul

[horrifichaunts]

Fun fact about these two? Can and will throw their back out trying to pick someone taller then them up in a hug.

#(x)about Henry(x) #(x)about Fredbear(x) #Will hears a crack from the Fredbear suit and thinks Henry set off the spring locks but no #it's just the man overestimated the power of bear hugs mixed with his height
