FLUFF ALPHABET W/ SAM — STARDEW VALLEY
SUMMARY: The Fluff Alphabet by @snk-warriors featuring Sam!
CONTAINS: sfw, gn! reader, fluff, established relationship
NOTES: My second favorite bachelor, I love this fcking guy <3
A = Activities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?
Sam really enjoys playing the guitar for you! And if you play too, even better! He loves having jam sessions together.
B = Beauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?
Sam loves your lips and eyes. He loves that your eyes can be so cute or so seductive, and that your lips always look so kissable.
C = Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?
Hugging is Sam’s go-to for comforting someone. He’s a very good hugger. He’ll hold you close and let you hide in his chest. He’s not always good with words so he’ll take to petting your head while reminding you that you’re okay and safe.
D = Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?
He likes the idea of being your rocker boyfriend/husband; having you along for the ride as he tours or in the studio when recording a new song. After that, he’s sure he wants to be a dad and raise a family with you!
E = Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?
He’s neither dominant nor passive. He respects you and your work and hopes you do as well! He never wants to intrude on your work and he’ll only help if you ask him to.
F = Fight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?
He hates arguing. He avoids it at all costs. If you start arguing, he’ll roll over like a dog and apologize, saying he was wrong (even if he wasn’t—something he’s working on). After you’ve had some space from each other, he’s the first to apologize, coming up behind you with a hug and kissing your neck and shoulders. Try as you might, it’s so hard to stay mad at him!
G = Gratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?
It’s not something he dwells on too often. Not that he isn’t grateful—he is!—but the thought doesn’t really cross his mind. When he does, he gets a big, goofy grin on his face when he thinks about all the ways he’s grateful for you and your life together. He feels like the people in his life don’t take him seriously, except you and he’s grateful for that.
H = Honesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?
Sam is a very honest person! He’s always had trouble lying to his mother. He doesn’t really do anything worth lying about either and he’s very open. He’s likely to forget to tell you about something but he’d never keep anything from you intentionally, unless he thought it was in your best interest that he did.
I = Inspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?
You’ve both changed each other in different ways! Sam has taught you to have more patience and you’ve helped Sam to be more organized. You’ve helped people to see that he’s not an immature kid anymore but a responsible young man with a sense of humor.
J = Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?
He rarely ever gets jealous—he trusts you with his whole being! But if he does, he doesn’t get mad or anything but he starts getting really clingy and physically affectionate. More than usual.
K = Kiss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?
He was ready to kiss you the minute you entered your relationship. While he is a good kisser, he is also sloppy. Your first kiss together was a little intense because he kissed you like a man starved. It wasn’t planned either so he definitely tasted like pizza or cola.
L = Love Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?
Like any desirable man, he sneaks you through his bedroom window and hides you from the prying eyes of his mother.
M = Marriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?
Sam doesn’t feel one way about marriage. He’d be happy as your boyfriend or as your husband! But if he were to… he’ll initially want to propose to you on stage at one of his concerts. Luckily, his friends talk him out of that, saying that could put pressure on you to say ‘yes’, or you saying ‘no’ could be humiliating for you both. He asks his parents for advice; Kent suggesting somewhere sentimental and Jodi suggesting somewhere romantic. He ends up not being able to contain his excitement long enough to go through with any plan. He proposes to you as you’re walking back to the farm one night. It actually proves to be perfect; the two of you alone, under the stars.
N = Nicknames - What do they call their s/o?
Babe, baby, cutie, girly/pretty girl (if you’re a woman), mama/daddy (if you have children or are expecting). They’re basic and a little juvenile but you love them! He gets nervous when you don’t call him a nickname, assuming the worst lol.
O = On Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?
Sam is already a bubbly and optimistic person. But when he starts dating you, he can’t wipe the dopey smile off his face! He no longer dreads going into work (which Shane quickly picks up on), he practically slips through town, and he can’t keep his hands off of you. It’s obvious, to say the least.
P = PDA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?
He’s so excited to announce that you’re dating when you start! Definitely not shy to kiss or hug you in public. He’s physically affectionate with all of his friends though so unless he kisses you, an onlooker might assume you’re just friends.
Q = Quirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.
Sam is a very good listener! He’ll listen intently as you boast, complain, cry, or talk about nothing. He’s also very agreeable. Did someone piss you off? Yeah, they suck! Got cash-back and want to use for a getaway together? Sure, he’d love to spend some quality time with you!
R = Romance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?
He tries to be romantic but he’s a bit clumsy. He tries to make you your favorite food but messes up the recipe. Or he runs a bath for you with rose petals and scented oil but when you enter the bathroom, the tub has overflowed. It’s the thought that counts!
S = Support - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?
Absolutely! He’ll assist you in anyway you ask him to. He feels it’s only fair since you’ve helped him so much before with his band and defending him from his mother and Mayor Lewis.
T = Thrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?
Sam loves some thrill and adventure! He’s so happy being with you but he gets a bit antsy so every week, you two go out and do something new. Attend a local concert, eat at a different restaurant, go dancing—whatever strikes you interest!
U = Understanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?
He is very empathetic. He’s not very confrontational so while he will get mad on your behalf, he’s more inclined to feel sad when you are. He absolutely hates seeing you cry and might shed a few tears when you do (but he’ll never let you see).
V = Value - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?
All of Sam’s relationships are very important to him! He wouldn’t think twice before sacrificing his stuff, or Yoba forbid, himself if it ever came down to it. He’s quite impulsive already so he definitely has before when it really wasn’t necessary. But it goes to show just how far he’s willing to go for you.
W = Wild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.
Sam teaches you how to skateboard, if you don’t know how to already! He makes you wear knee and elbow pads (partly for his own amusement). He’s so proud of you once you start to learn! He also offers to teach you how to play the guitar. You have little jam sessions together where he leads, while you’re still learning.
X = XOXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?
If you didn’t already know how, Sam has taught you how to skateboard! He insists you wear knee and elbow pads (even though you hate how dorky they make you look, that’s part of the fun for him). He’ll also teach you how to play guitar if you don’t know how to either! He loves bonding with you this way and he’s always so excited when you get something right!
Y = Yearning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?
He’s kinda very clingy and hates to see you go! He texts you every so often to check in and remind you not to overwork yourself. Huge golden retriever vibes in the sense that he’ll greet you at the door, kissing your face and hugging you tight. Expect him to be all over you for a while after you come back.
Z = Zeal - Are they willing to go to great lenghts for the relationship? If so, what kind of?
He’d do just about anything to prove himself to you. One way he does this is by learning your favorite songs and playing them on the guitar for you! He makes sure he gets them just right before he preforms. Sometimes, he offers to sing and play them softly to you as you fall asleep.

I just want to preface that I do not think using AI, like Grammarly for example, to make corrections to your work applies to my statement. I’ve used Grammarly and built-in tools like in Google Docs to check my grammar and punctuation because English is stupidly hard, and I say that as a native English speaker. My initial post only applies to people that put a prompt into some sort of AI that generates a story instead of you just writing it yourself.
Even after learning and studying how to write, I still need this little bit of assistance. Editors/beta readers do the same, only I can’t afford or even find one. To me, it’s like art. You can trace all you want but if you don’t know the fundamentals, tracing will only get you so far.
I hope this makes sense! I do not condone or support the use of generative AI.
Just came across AI-generated work in the Stardew Valley section on AO3 for the first time. This author’s only two published fics used it.
It disappoints me, honestly. This person is missing the part of the process where all you wanna do smash your screen into tiny little pieces and swear off writing ever again but working through that until you excitedly share it online! It’s all so important to experience, even if you think it’s shitty in the end, because it means at least you did it. It means you feel more connected to it and you’re strengthening your skill! You can only get better!
If you think your story is done but still not up to your standards, post it anyway! Someone will love it and it might help you break from that mindset you’re in.
Write fan fiction, have fun, it’s not that deep :)
I think we need to start drawing the villagers in the least canonical way possible. Harvey as a gang member who vapes. Penny as a raging alcoholic. Elliott as one of those annoying inconsiderate TikTok boys. Shane as the most kind and chivalrous gentleman.
You know, something along those lines
I'm dying for this fluff alphabet with Sebastian 👀🥺
Yay, that makes me so happy to hear!! It’s in the works and I intend to have it out within the next few days but we’ll see! Thank you so much though for your support, it truly means a lot <33

I think I wanna try my hand at recording a podfic! I’d try to make it immersive n stuff. If you’d like to volunteer your fic, please let me know!
“spam liking = blocked” spam likers can cum in my mouth actually!!!! spam likers can finger me in dressing rooms and strangle me in alleyways.

RANDOM ELLIOTT HEADCANONS — sdv, part 1
CONTAINS: sfw, references to alcohol and intoxication (written by someone who’s never consumed it), stupid American writing British people
NOTES: I seriously have to start posting more. I have so many drafts both for Tumblr and AO3 but I’m stuck in a mind set that my work isn’t good enough to post. BLAH.
— Elliott is a lightweight. Like extremely so. Two glasses of wine in and he’s already pretty wasted.
— When he is drunk, he doesn’t have much of a filter either. This is the most you’ll likely hear him swear and it’s honestly kinda funny. Or if he has a crush on you, he’s likely to confess by either flirting heavily or just out right saying he does.
— It isn’t until morning that he feels so much shame and regret for however he acted.
— This is a headcanon I’ve been thinking of recently: Elliott could be British (or whatever the SDV equivalent is.)
— I imagine he came overseas for college when he was in his early twenties or so.
— He probably tried to unlearn his accent in order to fit in better because he got teased for it and/or people assumed he was a tourist and tried to scam him (and he being young and naïve, fell for it a few times). You might not initially guess his fake accent isn’t real unless he tells you where he grew up.
— If he’s been drinking, his natural accent isn’t concealed as much.
— This was probably his first time traveling out of the country too.
— Elliott isn’t very good with technology. If we’re imagining Stardew taking place in the 90’s-2000’s, he’s probably very resistant to upgrading his typewriter to a computer or the landline to a cell phone, purposely not learning how to use them (which bites him in the ass down the road). But in the modern day, he genuinely just can’t understand how to learn, and thinking about it for too long gives him a headache.
— He prefers to be a passenger than a driver. He also doesn’t let people smoke in his car. The smell sticks and he would rather not have to deal with that.
— He has reading glasses for when he reads and writes. I imagine they’re either half moon or slightly oversized black frames. He’s a little far sighted. 🤏 The silver lining is that it gives off writer vibes so…
— Elliott has a PhD in English although he didn’t do a lot with it. He really likes the title and being able to say he has a doctorate in English, if nothing else. He probably minored in History as well.
— Elliott’s first crush was on Liza Minnelli, regardless of what you headcanon his sexuality to be. He watched Cabaret as a young teen and fell in love.
— Elliott was an anonymous writer who used a pseudonym when he first started publishing his work. Until he came to Pelican Town and was encouraged by the farmer to write, he was content without his work being traced back to him. He just likes to write and that by itself is enough for him. Plus, he’s quite shy, preferring to stay out of the public eye.
— Though he chose to live on the beach, his skin is very sensitive and he sunburns easily. He’s learned to be careful and he’s always had a good skincare routine. His skin has definitely darkened slightly since living in Pelican Town.
