awww cute wip so far key
i love her ponytail
in a bit of an art block right now but i'm trying to draw sdv stuff a little more often, motivated by my fanfic a bit
my ideal would be to get to draw a scene from each chapter on my fanfic but i suck at drawing some environments so i'd be messing with the same pic forever and just not getting anything i like

we can tell ourselves that the reason no one draws him is because they're struggling with his hair

Thats the reason for me

sam but he’s sonic
blissful sonnet
Anyone, do you have a link or a pic of sheet music for the song "The Wind Can Be Still" for the violin?
ember narwhal
oh? did someone draw a sad sam???
blissful sonnet
i dont think so
lone mountain
destin did 
blissful sonnet
Wait, rlly, Imma go find it
grand cave
Yeah where on earth did the sam talk come from, it went from seb then bam
ember narwhal
maybe pezzo thought the sketch was of sam?
grand cave
Well they clearly said Sebastian above it, and id think they’d correct them, but who knows o.o
blissful sonnet
soooo
ember narwhal
lmao
blissful sonnet
theres no sam?
ember narwhal
theres no sad sam. only normal seb
blissful sonnet
i thought i was going crazy
ember narwhal
lmao
grand cave
Yeah no clue what happened there lmfao
blissful sonnet
I know that Sam was being talked abt cuz the hair
ember narwhal
maybe everyone just assumes destin only draws sam and didnt read that it was seb this tine xD
blissful sonnet
I swear that I didnt see sad sam cuz like going through Destin's messages was creepy of me
ember narwhal
lolol
blissful sonnet
ember narwhal
here
grand cave
They put a seb emoji right above when they started talking about Sam too
ember narwhal
Kind of weird to see Sam less than at least content.
@tawny lynx are u talking about a sad sam that got lost in previous messages? we're all extremely distraught cause we want to see sad sam but cant find it
xD
blissful sonnet
Idk but it probably was a random thing
like me asking about a violin music sheet
blissful sonnet
its hard cuz no one plays the SDV music on a violin
grand cave
Google has piano sheet music of the song
blissful sonnet
and then the lady who did a cover didnt give the music sheet
ember narwhal
cant you use piano sheet music for violin.....
blissful sonnet
I didnt know that
ember narwhal
i know nothing about music so im probably wrong lmao
ember narwhal
but i thiught all the notes are like.... universal, maybe not like, the thingies that tell you how loud to make it or w/e
blissful sonnet
not exactly
ember narwhal
i took piano in middle school lmfao
blissful sonnet
but this opened the world to me
ember narwhal
lol
grand cave
You can make it work
blissful sonnet
I found it
ember narwhal
but yea like umthe notes they use for writing music arent like. only for one instrument, its like numbers. we all use the same numbers yknow
blissful sonnet
well it mostly depends on the note
ember narwhal
ah
blissful sonnet
cuz like a viola has the c string
and so does the cello so I can see that they can share the same music sheets
ember narwhal
im pretty sure it does
blissful sonnet
wait, I mean like the strings for the violin
cuz you can play the c note on a violin
but the viola and cello have the c string so they can play deeper
blissful sonnet
ohhhhh
ember narwhal
lmaooo
yeah i think string instruments are more efficient models but are trickier to play
blissful sonnet
Yeah, vibrato sucks
rain quartz
its always fun to remember that the piano is technically a string instrument
blissful sonnet
also found the music sheet
Oh yeah, cuz inside a piano is strings
i keep forgetting that
I might need to play it twice cuz the sheets need two violins and theres only me soooooooo Imma play it by myself

@halcyon bronze your instagram posts 
i luv ur art sm
ember narwhal
@rain quartz my only point was that i saw someone interpreted the comment in a negative way and i wanted to point out why so that others can learn how to phrase things in a way that woulnt potentially be offensive, since i assume that wasnt the intent. its important to know how to phrase feedback when talking about art. on the other hand, if someone meant to be critical of the work, saying something useful is better than something vague.
that's all
wasnt trying to start an argument, just encourage positive feedback
rain quartz
(which i think was clearly enough phrased as an opinion)
not everything ppl say about artworks is supposed to be feedback
ember narwhal
when i read "not a fan of that style" it felt like feedback to me, either that or something that could have been left out since it is irrelevant anyway, thats all
was mostly responding to cloudy glow's comment but nevermind
rain quartz
sometimes ppl just dont like something, doesnt mean they need to be shut up bc they have a negative opinion on something 🤷♂️
ember narwhal
the only time ive seen people post comments like that is when they are being intentionallybpassive aggressive but i admit i could be wrong
just my experience
lament turtle
against the rules here to talk down about someone's art, not that the statement was necessarily breaking that rule tho
ember narwhal
but its not that important
rain quartz
its really overblowing it to say that expressing a negative opinion is on the same level as if they started yelling that its trash
ember narwhal
but why express a negative opinion at all if its not constructive is my point
lament turtle
mate someone interpreted as a backhanded compliment and your response was "i don't think so lol"
rain quartz
what do you mean why? why couldnt they?
they just felt like it, how am i supposed to tell when the commenter themselves hasnt even had a word in this conversation
this is why i said this is going nowhere, the commenter hasnt even had a single word in this
ember narwhal
again, i was just trying to back someone else up i agreed with with a slight nudge and possibly helpful advice when talking about art.
rain quartz
okay? you dont need to explain your reasoning, my point is that i think that interpretation is totally wrong and honestly kinda oversensitive when even the artist themselves didnt have a problem with it
ember narwhal
okay, well everyone has different opinions.
analog fjord
reminder to be civil to one another, please
rain quartz
exactly, which is a great thing
now before i forget to ask, does it matter whether i post a wip in #creative or #creative-discussion ?
analog fjord
Both is alright, although WIPs probably belong more in here
devout stream
wips tend to provoke discussion and feedback so they are better here IMHO
rain quartz
mhm, i see
devout stream
unless it's a wip you'll never finish :P
rain quartz
lol, i hope i do end up finishing it
devout stream
unfinished WIPs are very common for me ;w;
rain quartz
i do be working on like 6 drawings at once usually and the ones im doing for a deadlines are prolly the only ones i end up finishing
ember narwhal
im so distraught i cant keep workin on that painting of seb cuz my back hurts so much from sitting all month ; - ;
im tryna not use the computer for like 2 days
rain quartz
oof, when my shoulders hurt from sleeping on em i usually use this cream to make em feel better
cant remember the name rn but if you can get like a muscle/tendon pain reliever cream id recommend it
ember narwhal
i didnt know cream works for muscles, interesting
tho i think i might have a legit muscle strain
so the only treatment is to just not use it xD
rain quartz
oof, were you sitting in a bad position?
ember narwhal
i always sit in a bad position
xD
my desk setup is complete shit, especially since i gotta lean over my stupid cintiq
theres no other way to do digital art since i dont have a backup normal tablet
i might have to get one
rain quartz
never used screened tablets but i never felt the need to get one
ember narwhal
well that and ive basically inly been playing elite dangrous or drawing for a month stright so its 100% computer time lol
rain quartz
i dont cover up what im drawing with my own hand this way, and my neck and if im sitting right my back is straight
ember narwhal
its definitely nice cause you get a drawing area as big as the screen but it has some cons as well
rain quartz
what would you consider cons?
ember narwhal
well the difficulty with ergonomics, covering up what youre drawing like you said, and for me cause im on windows the software issues were a pain. like getting it to consistently function correctly is stupidly hard
seems like they work way better on macs
but it does have touchscreen but it messes with your hand as you draw, so i dont use touch while drawing
i think newer models will have a better track record
rain quartz
ooh you meant for the screened, i thought you were talking about the screenless
ember narwhal
ohh no
cons for the screenless types are that its smaller than your monitor in most cases so you dont get as precise control over your drawing
rain quartz
ive heard that macs handle tablets better but i never had much trouble with my tablets on windows
i think mine translates very well to the screen size
ember narwhal
yeah, for me it was just the cintiq because it needs both a display and a tablet driver
rain quartz
ah ofc
ember narwhal
and the display driver likes to just not connect to the computer randomly lmao
rain quartz
i do think it would be cool to have it as a second monitor, but then i should just get a second monitor lol
ember narwhal
yeah
the cintiq , at least the one i have whixh is the 16 pro, only sits flat on the desk or at a very shallow angle
so it doesnt sit like a normal monitor. wouls be way better for my back if i could angle it higher though
rain quartz
maybe you could invest in a stand for it so it could stand at like 70-80 degrees
ember narwhal
yeah, seems like theres only a couple models tho, both the same price. hopefully it wont scoot around while u draw on it, thats my only fear xD
theyre both 75 bucks 
but i guess thats whatvi get for buying an expensive piece of shit xD

Pretty sure he already has a new setup
rain quartz
good, he deserves better

Lmao my current gaming setup is a laptop propped up with pillows
My drawing setup is whatever position feels most comfortable on my bed
rain quartz
i have a nice desktop setup, i have this pull out shelf thing where my keyboard is and on top is my tablet
nimble imp
I used to have this really nice desk complete with an office chair at our old house
Fuck i miss that desk 
rain quartz
what happened to it?
nimble imp
We moved out
ember narwhal
nimble imp
Arent there gaming beds now?
rain quartz
god i remember that one pic
ember narwhal
this what my body needs rn
nimble imp
Like, legitimate gaming rigs complete with coffee mug racks and a mini desk just attached to your bed
ember narwhal
fuck i need one
nimble imp
If they installed a toilet on that bed, there would be 0 reason to leave
nimble imp
Look at this hnggggg
ember narwhal
OHHH
nimble imp
Lmao one wip drawing per screen
hollow girder
i need one of these but for drawing
@ember narwhal I think your arm and neck gonna feel a bit...
ember narwhal
??
hollow girder
terrible.
ember narwhal
lmao not if the tablets where the keyboard is
hollow girder
what about your neck? Are you gonna look up all day?
ember narwhal
tablet as in non screen tablet
so i just lay back and stare at the monitors while i draw xD
hollow girder
idk that looks uncomfortable for drawing.
ember narwhal
the chair is angled back so you dont need to look up tho
i meant the basic concept of all the shit in front of u and u just sit there and work with ease xD
if u tilted the keyboard forward and put a tablet there itd be just about oerfect though
ember narwhal
well yeah its over 2k lmao
storm meadow
That setup looks good.
Getting up might take a bit to get used to
I assume you can push the side rails and roll out but my brain just sees me sliding under the keyboard
unkempt tinsel
a little belated on the tablet talk but i kinda want to save up for one of those screen tablets

storm meadow
my chair is one of those kitchen chairs with wooden back
gentle matrix
You should really invest in a good chair
It's very worth it
Especially if you sit a lot
unkempt tinsel
my chair SUCKS which is part of the problem
i'd love to rearrange my room so my bed doesn't take up a big chunk of it
and i can get a better desk/chair
storm meadow
not when my rent is 65% my monthly budget 
gentle matrix
I'd suggest looking for office chairs because those are designed for sitting in for a long time (but they're not small)
storm meadow
I sit about 9 hours on that chair yeah
Omg so cute!!
Seb has dotting dad energy
I’d love a series of this
ember narwhal
if you dont have. a desk id recommend you get an ipad sort of thing, or something wireless

so here's for inconsistent style time
i dont see any consistency
velvet sun

mossy leaf
that is true there isn't much consistency but they all look fucking amazing
velvet sun
^^^^^^^^^^
lament turtle
-< thank uu
the only consistency is between the 3rd and the last, as they're both realistic
halcyon bronze
Actually I can see they're all by the same artist so in my book, I'd say they were consistent
lament turtle
how o.o
halcyon bronze
despite size changes, the shapes of the eyes you draw are very similar, likewise so are the noses mostly, the texturing of the hair and the facial proportions
lament turtle
even the 2nd one with the huge ass eyes?
halcyon bronze
A lot of artists pay special attention to the face, so if there is a way to see consistency, it's usually in the face
yea, even tho the size is different the shape is similar
lament turtle
also i do see the nose, i do tend to draw my noses semi realistically even when going for a manga style
halcyon bronze
yea, even though the overall style isn't concrete, there is some consistency ^^
also having a style isn't the be-all and end-all
that comes with time I think
mossy leaf
What I would say is consistent is the way you draw female bodies
lament turtle
ive started liking my overall style, even if its only a shred rn, i like it :3 its quite different from other artists i see on instagram, which most of the time makes me feel bad at art but also sometimes makes me feel happy
mossy leaf
just looking at all the drawings you can tell that they all have been done by the same artist
velvet sun
i def see consistency with ur head
lament turtle
i dont see it but i guess that will come with time
lemme pull up a screenshot of my feed to show y'all why i think im inconsistent
i deleted quite a few posts bc i felt unsatisfied with the overall look

Hi, everyone. I'm brand new to the server and I suppose relatively new to playing Stardew Valley. I got a Switch to keep me busy during the quarantine and SDV was one of the first games I picked up. I quickly grew to love it and started looking for fanart and fanfic. I write fanfic prolifically on AO3 and I just published the prologue to my first SDV fic ^_^
ember zealot
ooo! that's awesome! (You can share the link to it here, I do believe!) (Because fanfiction is a type of art and that's a fact, just like regular writing is)
ember narwhal
oooh whats it about
ember zealot
(and I will stand by that)
ember zealot
yeah but I think if u want feedback it's best to post it here
ember narwhal
this channel is just for heavy discussion so it doesnt clog the other channel with too much conversation

noble pier
It's just a short prologue right now, but I'm working on the next chapter currently
https://archiveofourown.org/works/24241714/chapters/58413424
I write for the Lore Olympus fandom primarily, but I'm excited about stretching my legs in other directions
fic summary:With the mines so close to the farm, Wren can't pass up the temptation to supplement her income with what she can wrest from the depths. Despite the dangers, and the warnings of the townsfolk, she has managed to become quite the skilled fighter against the monsters in the depths. But even skilled fighters can have missteps and one night, one misstep after another leaves her at the mouth of the caves on the brink of collapse.

he's pretty common, but fanfics are debatable
i see a lot more gay seb than hetero seb in the art realm
ember narwhal

Seb x alex is in my bookmarks somewhere
ember narwhal
yea
unkempt tinsel
it's not really lame for me but i don't really read a ton of explicit fic anyway
velvet sun
i do
ember narwhal
yea
unkempt tinsel
how sebastian is written will make or break it for me
ember narwhal
tru
unkempt tinsel
which is why i opt to write about him myself
velvet sun
seb needs more fanfiction thats not an oc
echo mesa
best way 2 get content u want is 2 make it ;D
ember narwhal
same actually i hardly read fanfic. in fact ive only ever read mayne one or two
unkempt tinsel
definitely
velvet sun
i cant write
unkempt tinsel
the reason i started writing my fanfic is because i was unhappy with how this one fic did sebastian
so i was like man ok i wanna do some development the way i think it should be
and i ended up learning a lot and having a ton of fun along the way. i was terrified at first though. i've written for a really long time but never put my writing online
so i was really surprised when it got positive feedback
ember narwhal
ahhh yeah
velvet sun
gee.. uhh thats alot of bakugou x sero in my bookmarks XD
unkempt tinsel
that doesn't mean their sebastian was bad but it wasn't what i wanted out of the fic which is enough to make me write my own
(seb was a minor character in the fic anyway i think the main people in it were leah and abigail)
velvet sun
a seb enthusiast, i see
unkempt tinsel
(but he was like an enthusiastic grease monkey and it felt wrong)
honestly though even if you think you're bad at writing you should write anyway. you might be surprised, or you might have a lot of fun. you don't have to post it online if you don't want to.
i rewrote the first 3 chapters of my fic at least 3+ times and changed the story several times until i got something i wanted, and even today i'm like god, i should've done something different. but i'm glad i did it
my internet crapped out so here is block of text
i actually write a lot, on way more than the fanfic and 90% of it no one will ever see but i am glad i did them and got to express the ideas
unkempt tinsel
writing can be hard to do and feel unrewarding at first
and overthinking can be your worst enemy sometimes
haha the first seb/male player fic i found is on page 3, jesus, i'm actually surprised
velvet sun
damn uhh i had been writing some fanfiction but, it disappeared...
unkempt tinsel
but there were a few sebastian/reader or sebastian/farmer (which are gender neutral)
aw rip
on the flipside though alex/male player is a popular one
unkempt tinsel
maybe u can rewrite 
velvet sun
while i was searching through my discord messages to see fi i had sent it there i found stuff thats worse XD
unkempt tinsel
rip
velvet sun
i couldve sworn that i sent her the piece i wrote
ember zealot
honestly fanfiction is fun to write but I almost never finish them
ember narwhal
i rly wanna write some cute comforting taajy/seb now. where taajy helps seb realize hes depressed and helps him work thru it
unkempt tinsel
you should mira i think that'd be really nice!
i feel that other, honestly anyone who says they completed a fic without suffering is lying
ember zealot
bUT I'm in awe bc Ive read one that s- that's 650,000 words
unkempt tinsel
i am friends with someone with an elliott/male player fic and she finished it

kudos to anyone who has posted and has a plan because that is one reason it's taken me so long on this dumb FIC
i don't think it's dumb but i think it's dumb it's over 4 years old now
4 year anniversary was may 3 😔
but it will feel really good when i finish it
velvet sun
nvm i think i just found the largest bnha x reader fanfic
unkempt tinsel
ooooh how long is it
out of curiosity i wanna see the longest fic for sdv on ao3
someone on the forums mentioned having a 300k harvey fic
oh snap this might be it
they have the biggest fic on sdv's section in ao3. huge kudos to them
i should read it sometime
velvet sun
well im sure its not the actual longest, just the longest in my list
echo mesa
i kinda want to get back to writing jus so i can write a stupid long fic now tbh
velvet sun
around 150k words
unkempt tinsel
you should jar!!
oooh
my fic is #5 on the list in ao3
i wonder how long it will be when it's done
echo mesa
i find it impossible to be interested in both writing and drawing tbh?
like, whenever im drawing a lot, i dont have the energy for writing and vice versa
how do jus
not lose interest in things that r not rns focus ;-;
unkempt tinsel
@ember narwhal the third longest fic on sdv's ao3 is a seb/male player fic but it's a slow burn if you're interested
velvet sun
NGHGH I READ ONESHOTSS
unkempt tinsel
i usually am either all into writing or all into drawing and rarely in-between jar so i understand the feel
that looks great so far tho!
velvet sun
i just dont have the attention span to read a slow burn
unkempt tinsel
mine's a slow burn so i have some bias here LOL
but i like one shots
they have their place depending on the mood for me
velvet sun
the majority of my bookmarks are oneshots
unkempt tinsel
one shots can be very nice for when you just want a nice good fic snugglin in bed
ember zealot
sometimes one shots are what I want but sometimes I'm like mmm DRAMA
velvet sun
i typically dont like reading anything longer than 3000 words because i lose intrest too easily
echo mesa
i love long stuff lol
bc usually i have five or so fics open on my phone at any time
so i always hav smething to just open and read if im bored for any length of time
velvet sun
i have like,, 30 oneshots open at a time
echo mesa
i wonder what fic ive been in2 lately
lament turtle
Omg our monthly writing discussion is my favorite
ember zealot
Y'all there's a TON of kpop fics on ao3 I don't read them bc I don't understand writing about real ppl bUT
There's 296751 fics
velvet sun
Honestly its cursed
echo mesa
my best fic i ever finished was a fahc one
which is technically about real pple
but most pple in that community kinda consider their fahc stuff to be about the character rather than the person behind the character?
idk
writing real pple is whack, yeah
lament turtle
All writing is valid 😔 unless it's illegal stuff
unkempt tinsel
it certainly couldn't be anything about gavin reed, jar!
echo mesa
whispers in Italian smetimes i read Onision x Leafyishere fic bc its hilarious
velvet sun
hmm and i dont think ive been interested in danganronpa lately,...
ember zealot
I don't understand it I'm sure it prolly makes some of them uncomfy especially like the smut (and especially if they're not in an actual relationship
unkempt tinsel
illegal stuff i'd argue has its place in fanfic but not really for the reasons that people would assume when going into it
and it's nothing i am really interested in either
ember zealot
but yes do whatever floats ur boat
lament turtle
Hmm yeah as long as that stuff is appropriately tagged
velvet sun
my entire bookmarks list is around 400+ smut oneshots
echo mesa
honestly, i applaud anyone that can look at Onisions mess of a life and go
"I can write that worse"
velvet sun
ive seen everything
unkempt tinsel
i know some people write things like that to express their trauma and having control over a situation, the "comfort" aspect of fics
echo mesa
i love fluff
but i do read a lot of angst
unkempt tinsel
i prefer both i guess i'm not really sure!
i really like drama but sometimes i like things to be sweet and just for things to be nice
echo mesa
a nice lovely balance of fluff and angst is 👌
ember zealot
There's the fics that r fluffy or smut or just one shots u know and then there's the fics that are like let's hurt the characters EVEN MORE THAN CANON
unkempt tinsel
i like a spoonful of horror usually
velvet sun
cough cough rip my fbi agent
ember zealot
Moment of silencr
unkempt tinsel
suffering.jpg is the best genre of fanfic
ember zealot

velvet sun
idk its already moving for me
echo mesa
but it could move for reals
unkempt tinsel
oh that looks gorgeous! sure why not?
unkempt tinsel
delicious
velvet sun
no dont eat me plz
echo mesa
but how do u look at clouds or that gif and not go
'yom'
echo mesa
we may be opposites of each other

unkempt tinsel
i will take food, men, and cats all at once
echo mesa
if must touches the mens

velvet sun
consent is good
unkempt tinsel
i love seb
velvet sun
Ok ok u might be able to answer my question
unkempt tinsel
wat up
velvet sun
this is the third time that ive divorced sam for seb
velvet sun
i tell myself to stop marrying seb in every save but i do it anyways
unkempt tinsel
is your question why you always marry seb
velvet sun
yes
unkempt tinsel
sometimes u just gotta. i haven't exactly learned how to marry anyone else in the game either LOL
dat why i be writin about him
velvet sun
it just happens,, like, no thought process lmao
echo mesa
lol
i always end up obsessing over penny or abigail in every save
velvet sun
lmao sam getting married and divorced all within the span of one year
ember zealot
one year? I divorced Alex the same day I married him bc I changed my mind
velvet sun
lmao
ember zealot
Bad life decisions with Izzy
velvet sun
i wanna marry seb, but dont want to have to make a new save so i just divorce sam, but also have the platonic relationships mod to get sam to 10 hearts so i can have some inetesting dialogue
noble pier
I gave Harvey the wilted bouquet to see what would happen and I felt so bad for it. I don't think I could have the heart to divorce any of them.
ember zealot
I mean do u have the joja achievement
u could make a new save and do the joja Mart path and marry seb
velvet sun
no, i wanna marry seb, but not on a new save bc i like the save i have
unkempt tinsel
harvey deserves all the love
velvet sun
i hate harvey tbh
ember zealot
v much true
velvet sun
harvey remeinds me too much of my dad
ember zealot
well that ain't v nice he fixes u every time you die in skull cavern
lethal belfry
i hate harvey tbh
@velvet sun why? :0
ember zealot
Of faint at 2 am three feet from ur bed 😔
velvet sun
he reminds me of my dad, and that makes everything weird
because i dont wanna befriend him
lethal belfry
mhh sounds understandable
ember narwhal
i also can only marry seb
cuz if i didnt id feel bad that he would be alone and depressed
cant do that to him
grand cave
I can onLY MaRRY elliott
tawny lynx
Isn't it nice that we have a game where we can exhibit a savior complex and not feel guilty for it because everyone's in on it?
Looks at marrying only Penny every time I play multiplayer
blissful sonnet
Alex is best boi
lament turtle
yes he is
grand cave
Alex is just that dude I’d have a crush on in middle school
ember narwhal
hecc
lethal belfry
Isn't it nice that we have a game where we can exhibit a savior complex and not feel guilty for it because everyone's in on it?
@tawny lynx sometimes brings me conflict idk. I like to see that the character is still broken despite being married and the farmer also but that each one supports
unkempt tinsel
i don't like the savior complex thing honestly
ember narwhal
whats the savior complex?
lament turtle
alex is big cutie if you're also a dude cause he has to come to terms with that
unkempt tinsel
it makes me sad reading about it because i want people to marry someone because they like them a lot! not because they need to be saved
but that's just me and it's just a game
tawny lynx
I mean I marry Penny because she's my favorite but there's plenty of discussion on at least some subconscious appeal in that regard.
unkempt tinsel
ya for some people it's def a bit of both
lethal belfry
it makes me sad reading about it because i want people to marry someone because they like them a lot! not because they need to be saved
@unkempt tinsel That true, that's not honest
tawny lynx
Think of being able to help them as something additional on top of what you already like about them.
ember narwhal
idk why anyone would marry an npc they dint like in the first place though?
unkempt tinsel
i definitely read about people marrying some npcs just because they want them out of the situation and not much else
grand cave
Elliott looks and acts exactly like my last longterm boyfriend, hes literally the most attractive little tihsgshdjweb I’ve ever seen in a video game, he’s exactly my type, his personality is literally beautiful and he makes me freaken legit blush whenever I talk to him ingame even if it’s the 50000th time in the 5 years I’ve played
unkempt tinsel
but it's just how you take the game, some people are really into the characters, some want to be part of that story, some don't care either way
awwwww dragon
that's cute
ember narwhal
lmao thats weird to me, like shanes got it worse than seb in terms of the things i want to save seb from, but i dont care abt shane cause he doesnt appeal to me the way seb does
unkempt tinsel
it's true that some situations appeal to us more than others, we can relate to some characters more
i don't think anyone's reasons or appeals for liking a character is wrong in any way
velvet sun
i keep marrying seb.
i think its because hes the type of person i'd be least likely to slap
grand cave
yoUD SLAP ELLIOTT?
velvet sun
only once
lethal belfry
XDDDD
velvet sun
and idk its just seb no matter what
unkempt tinsel
poor elliott and his beautiful, flawless face
unkempt tinsel
ok thank god
velvet sun
probably slap his ass
lament field
only started playing Stardew a couple of weeks ago but I'm going after Elliott 
lethal belfry
I haven't seen anything wrong with this statement
unkempt tinsel
godspeed
velvet sun
jade have you seen thicc seb
unkempt tinsel
d-depends
lethal belfry
I always wonder how he has a good ass if he is only sitting on the pc?
not even Alex gets over him
lament turtle
unkempt tinsel

ART
velvet sun
YES YOU HAVE
velvet sun
lmao thats the sprite
unkempt tinsel
other spouses's sprites bend over when you kiss but seb just shows his butt instead
velvet sun
CA is there something ur not telling us
lament field
unkempt tinsel
yeah i like to think of seb as short too. there is a very old post about calculating heights
lament turtle
seb has one extra pixel of ass and suddenly he a thicc boi
unkempt tinsel
he has booty for days
velvet sun
lmao i have sam's hair banana
unkempt tinsel
and the sprite said he was the shortest bachelor at approx 5'8", sam was the second shortest at 5'10"
while the girls were all shorter with haley the tallest i think at 5'5" and abigail the shortest at 5'0
ember narwhal
short seb is the most adorable canon
unkempt tinsel
emily is most likely taller though
velvet sun
i want short seb
ember narwhal
heccc
velvet sun
short seb is best seb
grand cave
Abi is shorter then the average 13 year old
unkempt tinsel
elliott or harvey were the tallest i think. i actually might have it somewhere let me find it
grand cave
unkempt tinsel
oh there it is
ember narwhal
also seb has a thicc butt cuz he only does butt day
velvet sun
shane and seb are the same height lmao
unkempt tinsel
i have to find the original poster to that
shane looks taller to me because it's also measured by eye height
velvet sun
trye
ember narwhal
in game all the sprites look the same height to me
unkempt tinsel
seb's hair makes them look like they're the same height
grand cave
unkempt tinsel
then again their eyes might be the same level too?
oh sweet thank you
your googling skills are faster than mine
grand cave
lmfao
ember narwhal
mm
lethal belfry
MMMHHH
unkempt tinsel
them extra 3 pixels be hittin different
i love sam's kiss sprite too since he bends his knees
ember narwhal
isnt it weird tho that ib his smoking animation he doesbt have the butt
unkempt tinsel
it's so cute
ember narwhal
its only when he hugs
unkempt tinsel
it's because he's kinda bending to kiss but it just makes him thicc instead
echo mesa
proof smokings bad
removes ass
ember narwhal
lmaooo
ember narwhal
hehe
grand cave
echo mesa
but like, lowkey a lot of pple do get thicc when they quit smoking so im declaring that canon now
velvet sun
SAM ELLIOTT KISSING SCENE
unkempt tinsel
LOL
i have all their sprites in my folder but i don't have any of the sam kissing one alone
grand cave
It’s not even related to stardew it’s from a show but holy cow perfect name combo
unkempt tinsel
just the seb one because i am a loser
velvet sun

ember narwhal
i kinda wanna tweak him in my fic to be more cuddly tho like . just a lil more needy

LMAO in that reddit thread someone linked "everybody loves little sebastian!" and it's the freakin horse from parks and rec that's so great
stardust no
velvet sun
yes
ember narwhal
like i wanna tweak seb so he fuckin ditches sleeping every other night to do shit by himself. come on you gotta be achin for some good spoons after spending ur entire life alone
omg
unkempt tinsel
i think he can do both personally
velvet sun
OH BOY I READ THAT WRONG
ember narwhal
whoops meant so he DOESNT ditch every other night
velvet sun
i live in the gutter so everything is a dirty joke to me..
unkempt tinsel
smh
ember narwhal
i think he needs more cuddles than slime kills
my doctor opinion
well mmi guess more like seb realizes how much he wants cuddles now that he has access to them
lethal belfry
why does need slimes if he can have kisses (?
ember narwhal
over time hell probably get more independent but at first hes like omg im touch starved as fuck
unkempt tinsel
slime kisses? jk jk
velvet sun
HGGNGH SOFT BBY I NEED TO HUG HIM
ember narwhal
lolol
unkempt tinsel
also this in the reddit thread made me laugh
velvet sun
ok im a sucker for soft dudes who like cuddles
ember narwhal
yessss me tooooo
unkempt tinsel

ember narwhal
who are too shy to ask
velvet sun
or tsundere
unkempt tinsel
b-baka
ember narwhal
but will just snuggle up when they are designated little spoon position
velvet sun
OH damn that's why i definitely dont have a crush on a certain video game character who i 100% headcanon as a tsundere and the little spoon
velvet sun
also, the video game is not sdv
ember narwhal
lmao who is it
lament turtle
tsundere is like you're initially a cold/combative person but you turn into a softie
ember narwhal
aww
unkempt tinsel
tsundere is an anime archetype which typically are soft on the inside but cover their feelings by being mean or aggressive
ember narwhal
lmao

"i didn't get these flowers because i like you or anything you dumb IDIOT"
