Sdv Shane - Blog Posts

I just had a clarity moment where I realized that Shane and Future Edd look almost identical and it’s why I can’t sleep

Help.

BACHELORS’ MUSIC PREFERENCES —STARDEW VALLEY HEADCANONS

SUMMARY: The bachelors’ favorite songs, artists, and genres!

CONTAINS: sfw, nothing worth noting

NOTES: Wrote this instead of an essay for college :) Spotify playlist links included! (tap the music notes beside each bachelor’s name)

— ELLIOTT ♪

• Genres: Classical, Britpop

• Artists: Pulp, Hozier, Pearl Jam

• Songs: This Is Hardcore, She’s Got a Way, Work Song

Elliott might as well have walked straight out of a sappy romance novel. He romanticizes life and that’s partly shown through the music he listens to. He loves poetic, slow songs about passionate love, or one that’s been lost. He likes to have classical music on while he writes/works. Classical piano music is what inspired him to play when he was younger. He loves the sound, the aesthetics, and the movement (plus, it was the easiest instrument for him to learn). He immerses himself in music, imagining himself twirling around his lover as he listens to Hozier, or loving his partner passionately while This Is Hardcore plays. Elliott himself is a passionate man in all regards and the music he listens to only encourages him further.

— HARVEY ♪

• Genres: Oldies, Lofi

• Artists: Pink Floyd, Queen, New Order

• Songs: Can’t Take My Eyes off You, As the World Caves In, Baby I’m Yours

Harvey enjoys calming, upbeat music. Preferably something he can turn on in the background as he works. Maru introduced him to Lofi. Since then, he keeps it playing in the clinic during work hours. He likes the calming mood it sets, as for some of his patients, going to the doctor can be anxiety-inducing. When he’s in a relationship, he loves to turn on the radio and dance with his partner to Frankie Valli or Queen. But if he’s not, he’ll day dream about doing just that, imagining himself deeply in love. Nothing warms his heart more than upbeat love songs!

— SAM ♪

• Genres: (80’s/90’s) Punk, Alternative Rock

• Artists: Misfits, Nirvana, The Cure

• Songs: Rebel Yell, Mrs. Robinson (The Lemonheads version), Astro Zombies

Sam loves everything about punk: the chaos, the rebellion, the energy, and volume. From an early age, he pictured himself on stage above a sea of people that enthusiastically sang along with him. Bands like Nirvana and the Misfits inspired him to pick up the guitar and rock out until his fingers became numb (or his mom complained about the noise). His and Sebastian’s favorite music influence how their band sounds. Therapy to Sam is jamming out to his favorite songs, getting completely lost in the music. When his dad was deployed and his mom became overwhelmed with his little brother, blaring his music was the only thing that could center and energize him enough for the day.

— SEBASTIAN ♪

• Genres: Emo, Post-hardcore

• Artists: Deftones, The Used, My Chemical Romance

• Songs: Dragula, Angelfuck, A Box Full of Sharp Objects

It was a phase until it wasn’t. After Sam introduced him to punk in their early teens, Sebastian found early 2000’s emo music through bands like Thursday, My Chemical Romance, Deftones, Taking Back Sunday, ect. They give him a safe space to feel and sit with his emotions without question or concern. He feels that these bands understand him when no one else does, bringing him rare moments of genuine peace through the constant cloud of angst that surrounds him. He likes to have it on whenever he’s in his room or working on his motorcycle. He could easily listen to the main emo classics hundreds of times over again without it becoming repetitive—which he has. Nothing feels better than drowning out the world (and his family) with blaring, emo music.

— SHANE ♪

• Genres: Metal, Hard Rock

• Artists: Alice In Chains, Korn, Soundgarden

• Songs: A.D.I.D.A.S, Bed of Roses, Closer

Shane has a lot of angsty feelings that are undealt with. Loud, aggressive, and angry music is usually his go-to, as well as some slower songs about heartbreak. He grew up listening to bands like Korn, Metallica, and Black Sabbath. After the deaths of his best friends (Jas’ parents) is when he really started to depend on metal to drown out his sorrows. He felt so angry and mournful but had no way of expressing that. He leaned into the hostile, melancholic sounds Alice In Chains and Soundgarden provided, along with other bands that produced the same. He’s also incredibly horny but you didn’t hear that from me.

— ALEX ♪

• Genres: Hip Hop, Lofi

• Artists: 1nonly, Tyler The Creator, The Neighbourhood

• Songs: The Beach, Darling I, Boys Don’t Cry

Alex likes to drown out to music, mainly while he works out (and recently, while he reads). He prefers music he can tune out so he can focus all his energy into his hobbies, and not have to worry about being distracted. He’s constantly listening to music—on runs, in the shower, in his room. He keeps a small speaker turned on in his room almost all day that plays a Lofi station. He found that he can spiral very easily into his worst thoughts if his mind isn’t occupied with external noise.

BACHELORS & THEIR SWEARING HABITS — STARDEW VALLEY HEADCANONS

SUMMARY: The bachelors and if they swear, what swears they use, and their opinions on it!

CONTAINS: sfw (?), coarse language, a little sexually suggestive in some parts

NOTES: This is a remake of an old post from my old dead account. I think I have a better understanding of the bachelors than I did when I made that post (because I was still new to SDV). I’m sorry if this isn’t great, I haven’t done this in a while :’) Enjoy!!

— ELLIOTT

• He’s the least likely to swear and you’ll almost never hear him do it

• Unless he’s very passionate about something or feeling very intensely, like if he’s very angry or sad

• I think he was more likely to swear when he was younger but the older he gets, the less he‘s prone to

• When he does swear, it holds that much more weight and meaning compared to someone who swears frequently

• It’s kinda sexy when he does too 👀🤭

• Also funny, depending on the context and situation

• Like I’ve said before, I believe that when he’s drunk, he has a lot less of a filter, making those the most likely times you’ll hear him swear

• “Oh, fuck me—so sorry, darling!” “I’m quite ‘shit-faced’, if you will.”

• He just has a way of always sound polite, despite what he’s saying

• He’s overall not opposed to swearing and he doesn’t mind or care if other people do

• Elliott has a wide vocabulary and therefore, more supplements for swears

• But he also understands that some situations call for swearing and that certain words can’t be replaced

• But that doesn’t mean he believes he’s better than anyone because he doesn’t! Swearing just doesn’t work for him

— HARVEY

• He’s absolutely dropped a few swears while working

• Harvey is a doctor and he understands better than anyone that swearing can be healthy

• Swearing can help cope with pain or deal with situations that someone might otherwise feel they have no control over

• He’s definitely been in stressful situations where mumbling a ‘fuck’ under his breath helps to center him enough to stay focused

• He understands there’s a time and a place, of course, he wouldn’t just drop an f-bomb in middle of your annual check-up lmao

• You’ll likely only hear him swear when he’s angry or stressed, but he will apologize soon after, even if it’s unnecessary

• Or during sexy times 😎 to which he doesn’t apologize

• Other than that, those type of words just don’t seem to frequent his everyday vocabulary

• He also kind of prides himself on being professional and swearing just isn’t

• Like Elliott, Harvey swears so little that when he does, it’s kind of off-putting and holds more significance

• Like if he swears while reprimanding you for passing out in the mines, you’ll be more likely to listen because it’s just that jarring

• It’s not that he feels one way about swearing, he doesn’t even think about it

— SAM

• You might disagree with me but he rarely ever swears

• In a lot of the fics I read, he does and it makes sense to me, him being a 20-something year old guy and all

• But I also think his parents have it so ingrained in his mind that swearing is bad and impolite, like it’s a cardinal sin or something

• They also want him to set a good example for Vincent, which Sam does

• But when he was younger, he’d get Vincent to say swear words and then crack up, only encouraging Vincent more

• Yeah, his parents were not happy lmfao

• Nowadays, he only justifies swearing to himself when he’s singing a song with swears in it

• He feels a little alarmed at how freeing it feels to swear when he sings at first, and he kicks himself for enjoying it

• He’s likely to swear the most when he’s with his friends (Sebastian is not a good influence on him in this regard lmao)

• Sam says the family-friendly versions of swears unironically, like ‘freak’, or ‘shoot’

• He was probably also the type to flip people off in school with his ring finger so that he technically couldn’t get in trouble (I literally did the same)

• He’d probably benefit mentally and emotionally by swearing more often if he didn’t take so much pride in trying to be perfect :(

— SEBASTIAN

• I mean. Let’s be real.

— He’s a moody teenager who hates his family and everything around him (not literally), of course he swears, and frequently too

— Playing a lot of online games with voice chat while he was growing up, he started picking up swear words pretty quickly

— Demetrius corrects him whenever he does, and because I believe Seb likes to piss him off, he intentionally swears in front of him lol

— Robin doesn’t care so much, unless it’s in front of Demetrius then she’s like, “Seb, c’mon.”

— And he just looks at her like “😏”

— Now that I’m thinking of it, he probably learned some swears from her as well

— Like if she was arguing with his dad on the phone or accidentally hurt herself while wood-working

— Despite Robin’s warnings that those are bad words, she couldn’t keep him from repeating her, so she instead told him the ‘time and a place’ rule

— They’re similar in the way that they probably don’t have much of a filter and Sebastian probably influences her more than she realizes lol

— He doesn’t really have a set way of swearing, he just does at any given time

— As a kid, he’d influence Maru to swear and then act all shocked when she did and his parents blamed him lmao

— Sam too, which Jodi was very upset by, considering Seb to be a genuinely bad influence on Sam

— As an adult, he no longer does that anymore and has developed a major soft spot for the way that Sam “swears”

— I think Sam unconsciously influences Seb to be less vulgar with his language

[ ALEX ]

— He actually canonically swears the most of all the bachelors! If you consider ‘damn’ to be one

— Like Jodi, the Mullner’s have taught Alex that swearing is impolite, but not necessarily bad

— I can imagine Evelyn covering her ears when he does and saying something like, “oh, my poor old ears cannot handle such harsh language!”

— He doesn’t have much of a reason to anyway

— He remembers his dad swearing a lot at him as a kid, or when he would yell at his mother so I think those kind of words can trigger bad memories

— He’s very aware of trying to be better than his father and if swearing is something his father did, he doesn’t (at least, not nearly as often)

— He’s careful not to swear in front of his grandparents, which I think is all their really concerned about anyway

— To them, it shows respect, and he respects his grandparents very much!

— I think they let it slide if he’s cheering for a game on the television or if he’s complimenting his granny’s cooking

— “Damn, granny! That’s incredible!” And she just smiles and scolds him half-heartedly

— You’ll probably hear him swear the most in the bedroom 🤭

— Or if he stubs his toe

— Equally arousing, if you ask me

— He sticks to the less harsh swear words like ‘hell’, ‘ass’, ‘damn’, and occasionally ‘shit’

[ SHANE ]

— You know CA wanted to make this man say ‘fuck’

— Swears the most out of the bachelors, regardless of… well, anything

— There’s ZERO filter on this guy

— Unless Jas is around, then he’s mindful of what he says

— Not that he or Marnie are worried about her picking anything up, she’s a good kid and very well-mannered

— If Shane does slip up, she’s the first one to scold him lmao

— He’s glad though, he feels like this means he’s doing well raising her

— He swears when he’s happy, sad, excited, angry…

— Seriously. No filter.

— He probably doesn’t even realize it much either

• I feel like when he and Jas first moved in with Marnie, she was quite strict about him swearing, especially since he’s raising a child

• But overtime, she’s grown accustomed to it, she probably even swears slightly more now because of him

• Jas has helped him to be less crude and he can now catch himself much better before he slips

• “Are you fu-” *Jas stares daggers into him* “freaking kidding me?”

• It is Shane after all, and people have learned to expect it

• When he was new to town, it definitely surprised people

• Pelican Town is small, no one really ever swears and swearing isn’t taken very lightly

• And then this guy just walks in and swears so casually

• It shocked people at first, to say the least

• Overtime, the townsfolk have come to learn that’s just how Shane is and that he’s a good guy once you get to know him!

• All that’s not to say that Shane just throws out swears all day, everyday though

• He is respectful and polite and only swears when it’s mostly appropriate, like around friends or in the comfort of his own home

• He’s just not shy about it :)

Shane hates going out

First little drabble, let’s see how this goes! Not proof read so sorry for any grammar mistakes.

Scenario: Introvert Farmer in SDV

(Reader is gender neutral)

Introverted Farmer who accepts quest for the town people only to leave it on their doorstep the next day, with a little note attached to say leave the payment in their mailbox

Introverted Farmer who only tends to the farm in the late afternoon, just to avoid the possibility of having to talk to a town folk who might be walking by

Introverted Farmer who give the romance-ables (bachelors and bachelorettes) their loved gifts also by dropping it off on their door step. The note attached just says, “with care, The Farmer :) ”.

Some gift ideas:

Elliot getting rainbow shells in the late fall and early winter, just to remind him of the summer

Harvey and Leah getting Cranberry Wine in the fall

Shane getting hot peppers all though out the year

Introverted Farmer who’s first appearance is on Winter 3 (year 1) in the Saloon. It’s like a ghost sighting. The rumors of the new farmer coming to the valley were confirmed almost a year after their arrival.

I might make a part two to watch this because this is a nice idea but i need to brain storm a little bit more <3

Jojamart, before Sam got himself headphones for his shift with Shane

WHY CAN THEY REDECORATE MY HOUSE AND I CANT REDECORATE SHANE’S DISASTER OF A SPOUSE ROOM???!!/&:8;7):!

spouses/roommates being able to redecorate the house in stardew valley is a cute feature in concept but in reality it feels like

Shane, My Beloved

Shane had never considered himself a romantic person. In fact, Shane never considered himself at all, really. He had a routine that he followed, didn't think about how he worked a minimum-wage job at thirty-three, and when pretending that everything in his life was totally fine got to be too much, he drank. A lot. It was almost certainly unhealthy, but it got him through the day - for the most part.

When the new farmer moved into the dingy cottage north of his aunt's ranch, he didn't think much of it. He went to Joja Mart that day, same as always. He stocked the shelves, same as always. He saw the other town drunk wandering the aisles of Joja, same as always. He went straight to the Stardrop Saloon after closing, same as always. He saw the drunk again, same as always. He saw all the other Monday regulars at the Saloon, same as always.

But.

There was someone new today. It must be that new farmer, Shane thought to himself. Where did they move from? Was it Zuzu City? Somewhere across the Gem Sea? Hmm, I can't seem to remember... Whatever. It doesn't matter anyways. Not like I care. Even if I did, everyone always leaves. No use getting to know anyone new, Shane finally settled on that thought and took another sip of his beer.

Suddenly, a shadow crossed the floor to his corner by the bar. After introducing themselves to the local chef and the blue-haired barmaid, they seemed to walk toward Shane. He looked up. The farmer was staring at him, obviously exhausted from a hard day's work and socializing, but, curiously, appeared to be satisfied. Happy, even.

This perplexed Shane. He understood that his niece and his chickens and the boy with the bright yellow hair were all happy, but this was because they had never left Pelican Town. They didn't know what else was out there. They were blissful out of ignorance, not out of true joy. This farmer, they seemed different. They certainly weren't ignorant to the richness of city life. So why? Why did they seem so content? He had half a mind to ask them right out when the farmer asked him a question first:

"You're Shane, right? You work at the Joja Mart? I have to ask... Is it because you hate the shopkeep in town as much as I'm beginning to?"

Shane laughed out loud. He couldn't remember the last time he'd done that. It felt nice. The farmer smiled, bigger, this time, somehow. It made Shane feel... Well. He didn't know how it made him feel, but he knew that it was a feeling that he'd not had in a very long time.

He finally answered the farmer's question after a moment. "Unfortunately, my employment at Joja is not a condition of my spite, much as I wish it were. The store in town doesn't keep any staff at all. That's why the store's closed on Wednesday."

The farmer nodded and said "oh well. I simply had to ask." Then, after a short pause, they said "I'd better head off, I have some more planting to do tonight." And with that, they turned on their heels and walked out of the Saloon.

Shane watched the door for a long time after the farmer had closed the door. He hoped that they would turn around and run back inside. He hoped they would trip and fall over the threshold on their way out the door. He hoped they'd leave and never return.

He didn't know anything about the farmer but after this interaction, he knew one more thing about himself:

he was totally and utterly fucked.

teehee I love Shane ok anyways im thinking I might make this into like a series but we shall seeeeeeeeeeee xoxo
