brain rot hours šŸ‘€? you said nsfw was cool sooooooo what do you think shane sounds like in bed lol

This ask made my brain rot even worse so I did all of the bachelors LMFAO. This is kind of all over the place, and I veered off tangentially on a few of them, but I did my best to stick to the topic. I also went ahead and situated them in (what I think is, anyway) ascending age order, so younger bachelors are first. Some are longer than others but that does not reflect my feelings for them. No favoritism here, bay-bee. Anyway, I hope you enjoy! Thank you very much for your request hkjhlashfiloveu. :)

All of them are NSFW. There are mentions of sub/dom dynamics, explicit language, praise/degradation/dirty talk, a few bits of dialogue, mentions of oral sex, and I curse quite a bit. Sorry about that. I also tried my best to keep everything gender neutral, but let me know if thereā€™s anything I can improve on. If you want an afab or amab farmer, I can write both, just remember to specify in the future! As usual, minors, please do not interact!!

Sam

Sam is fucking loud, okay?

Lead singer of a band and you really think he doesnā€™t have a set of pipes on him?

Youā€™ve reserved your escapades to the farm only, because Haley and Emily would get an earful if you fooled around at his place, and you donā€™t need any incidents with his family overhearing his loud ass, either

He is loud, and he is shameless, and whether itā€™s moaning, whimpering, whining, or groaningā€”youā€™ll hear it out of him

Mans is versatile

Pathetic is one of the only words I can find to describe how he sounds in bed though if Iā€™m honest

This guy definitely doesnā€™t have too much experience, so itā€™s easy to rile him up, and holy fuck if he isnā€™t sensitive as hell

Heā€™ll make noise even if you're just kissing him

And heā€™s needy

ā€œYouā€™re too far away, come hereā€ ā€œkiss me moreā€

This boy has a filthy mouth on him

And he begs like a little bitch lol

ā€œPlease, Iā€™m so close, itā€™s right there, just a little more, fuck pleaseā€

If you were expecting him to be a dom youā€™re on the wrONG BLOG LMFAO

Tie him up and treat him a little roughly, and this boy is drooling with fucking heart eyes, I promise you

But yeah, doesnā€™t matter if youā€™ve got your hands on him, if youā€™re blowing him, or if yā€™all are fucking, heā€™s gonna make noise no matter what

When heā€™s close, his voice gets higher and comes out faster, so every other breath heā€™s making noise

The only time heā€™s completely and utterly silent is when he comes

Heā€™s the type to hold his breath when it hits him, and it only lasts a few seconds before heā€™s gasping and moaning again

And even if all of the attention is on you, and youā€™re not touching him, this man is gonna be loud

If heā€™s fingering you? Definitely gonna spill a few curses at how you feel on his fingers

If you let him go down on you? Heā€™s moaning, and lord help him, if you start pulling his hair and forcing him this way and that??

Lights out, goodnight, he is officially gone.

Sebastian

Depends heavily on circumstance, I think

If youā€™re in control, heā€™s moaning and gasping, and his voice is so fucking pretty

A little scratchy from his smoking habit, if Iā€™m honest, but itā€™s still a very nice voice

Especially if heā€™s the one in charge

And if he is in charge, heā€™s groaning, and hear me outā€”he laughs at you.

Not meanly! (kinda meanly) just, yanno

Some slight degradation

ā€œHah, does it really feel that good? I havenā€™t even done all that much to you yet and youā€™re already like this?ā€Ā 

Hnnnghghffsebastianjustonechanceplease

Probably a little insecure about his voice, but if he knows you like it, thatā€™s all the information he needs

He just wants to make you feel good, so if thereā€™s something he can do to make it feel better, heā€™s going to do it

That said, he mirrors you quite a bit

So if youā€™re loud, heā€™s gonna be loud (what do you expect from him, really? Itā€™s not his fault you sound so good), and if youā€™re quiet, heā€™s gonna be quiet, too

Heā€™ll never be completely silent, just because he doesnā€™t have that kind of self-control, but heā€™s definitely quiet

It also depends on how heavy youā€™re going

So if itā€™s rough, his voice will also probably reflect that: lots of groaning, heavy breathing, some curses here and there.

Soft sex will be quieter, but heā€™ll also be a little sweeter. Thereā€™ll be more praise, probably some ā€œI love youā€™sā€ sprinkled in there, and heā€™ll try to muffle his higher noises into your lips or any other skin he can reach

Overall, I think sex with him will go one way or the other

Sub or dom? Whines or groans? Flip a coin and lemme know how it goes lol

AlexĀ 

Heā€™s the kind of person who wonā€™t make a lot of noise

heā€™s panting and breathing heavily, and thatā€™s probably it

But he talks quite a bit

And we all know that deep down this boy is a hopeless romantic(hello, ten-heart event!), so his dirty talk def reflects that

Get ready for PRAISE. SO much praise

ā€œYou feel so fucking good, baby,ā€ ā€œIā€™ve been waiting for this all day,ā€ ā€œyouā€™re doing good for me, just like that,ā€ etc.

If heā€™s really into it, especially when heā€™s close to cumming, heā€™ll stutter a lot or just give up halfway through his sentences lmao

Donā€™t misunderstand, itā€™s not that he refuses to make noise because he thinks itā€™s weird

He just prefers the way you sound, yanno? So heā€™d rather keep it down to hear you better

But if you let him know that you want to hear him more, heā€™d make an effort to let some sounds loose

But he wouldnā€™t fake them, and heā€™s not gonna suddenly start blowing out your eardrums

The first time he properly groans, he feels the effect it has on you

It could be the most pathetic, shaky, and quiet sound ever, but your reaction is immediate

Goosebumps over your arms, subtle trembling/shivering, bro, if you grab him a little bit tighter????Ā 

and now that he can see with absolute certainty that you enjoy his voice?

His confidence will sky-rocket, and youā€™ll get wayyyy more noise out of him from then on

He will take the opportunity to tease you about it after youā€™re done though

ā€œDamn, you like my voice that much, huh?ā€

I am also a firm believer that he prefers positions with a lot of proximity and skin contact, so lots of missionary, back-to-chest, etc. (he also likes positions where he can show off his strength and stamina, but thatā€™s neither here nor there)

He loves anything where he can press in close and have as many points of contact as possible

Which makes it way easier to dive low and spit romantic filth into your ear, you with me?

Lives for the reactions he can drag out of you with just his voice

It might be his favorite part about sex with you if Iā€™m being realistic

It's nice to see tangible proof that youā€™re enjoying yourself because of what heā€™s doing, obviously, but the fact that he can have you reduced to such a mess with just his voice?

This man is absolutely gone on you, I swear

Elliott

Lordt have mercy

I think in terms of volume, heā€™d be pretty average.

Like heā€™s not going to drown you out, but heā€™s definitely not quiet

Having said that

Moans, praise, and sappy declarations of love are his modus operandi

Elliott is a poetic soul: heā€™s got a way with words, and a romantic heart

Intimacy is important to him, and the more connected you are, the sweeter he sounds

He doesnā€™t curse nearly as much as any of the bachelors, either

While the rest of them spit filth at you with a good helping of swearing tossed into the mix, heā€™s a little more classy and eloquent with how he goes about it

ā€œYou sound heavenly, my love,ā€ ā€œhow was I so fortunate as to meet you,ā€ ā€œso good to me, my precious flowerā€

what a cheese lol elliott pls iā€™m begging i would give you everything

One hundred percent convinced yā€™all are soulmates

And itā€™s kind of obvious during sex

He hates not being able to see your face while youā€™re in bed together

Wants to be able to kiss you while heā€™s making love to you, and will absolutely moan into your mouth while doing so end me

But heā€™ll be at his loudest when youā€™re indulging his desire for intimacy

Hold his hand during sex. I dare you.

Cup his cheeks? Tell him you love him while heā€™s mid-thrust?

Lol if youā€™re at his cabin on the beach, you better hope Willy took his boat out for some ocean fishing because otherwise, heā€™ll definitely hear

But enough about volume

Elliottā€™s voice is smooth like butter, and fairly deep

listening to him fall apart feels like pouring warm honey down your spine

He sounds so good, and heā€™s not shy about it

Will only beg if he wants you both to come at the same timeā€”otherwise everything is pretty neutralā€”no dom/sub dynamics, he just wants to make love to you

I wouldnā€™t say heā€™s vanilla by any means, but thatā€™s a story for another time

Shane

If heā€™s in a Moodā„¢, this man is nasty.

Point-blank, no bullshit.

He doesnā€™t moan, or whine, or whimperā€”youā€™d have to overstimulate the shit out of him to get a reaction like that, but unless youā€™re willing to deal with the consequences, I donā€™t personally recommend doing that lol yes I do

But for the sake of the ask, letā€™s say you donā€™t

Grunts and groansā€”thatā€™s all youā€™re getting as far as sounds go

But not to worry, because dirty talk is his specialty

Will praise you while degrading you

ā€œLook at you, drooling and drunk all for my cock,ā€ ā€œWish you could see how pretty you are, babyā€

Hnngf anyway

Heā€™s at his loudest when you agree with him

Sound confusing? Here, have some examples.

ā€œIā€™m the only one who can fuck you like this, arenā€™t I?ā€ ā€œno one could make you feel the way I doā€

Say yes to anything like that? ^^^

And this man is yours.

Heā€™ll get SO loud, and heā€™ll dive head-first into dirty talk like his life depends on it

Oh, you thought he was filthy before?

Lmao anyway yeah heā€™s possessive and likes it when you indulge him

But if he isnā€™t in a Moodā„¢, and you catch him during a good moment, he veers a little more toward Elliottā€™s territory

Like definitely still possessive, but less vulgar about it, and not as cheesy

This guy has low self-esteem, and a lot of his insecurities stem from not feeling adequate for everyone in his lifeā€”including you

So if heā€™s feeling a little softer around the edges, and you take the moment to remind him that youā€™re in it for the long haul and have no intention of going anywhere

Heā€™s groaning praise and loving filth in your ears

Definitely has a breeding kink I mean what I didnā€™t say anything

Anyway yeah lots of ā€œso good to me,ā€ ā€œcanā€™t believe I got this lucky,ā€ ā€œdo you have any idea what you do to me?ā€ etc., etc., etc.

Shane sir my husband my favorite chicken man just one chance please I beg

Harvey

A crier

Lol jumping straight into it LESGO

Pathetic little sobs because heā€™s so overstimulated and it feels just a little too good

Stutters quite a bitā€”he likes giving up control to you so he doesnā€™t have to think, but that often means he loses his ability to speak coherently

this man is so stressed all the time and he just wants you to help him shut his brain off

Is a blushing, sobbing mess

Probably hiccupping a little if it gets to be too much

His crying is probably due to a mix of embarrassment and pleasure if Iā€™m being realistic

But I personally hc him as someone who enjoys feeling a little stupid and sex-drunk, especially because of how much you seem to enjoy seeing him get like that

Donā€™t get me wrong, when itā€™s casual sex and not in the midst of a scene, this man is just as loving as any, but thereā€™s a certain empty-headedness he gets when he feels too good

Doesnā€™t really talk much, again, he canā€™t think straight long enough to string anything together

If he does manage to get anything out, itā€™ll be a lot of one-word compliments and simple beggingā€”also he slurs his words quite a bit

ā€œFeels sā€™good, please donā€™stopā€ ā€œplease, sā€™pretty,ā€ ā€œlike that, right thereā€”hnngmfuck!ā€

I am dead

Sex is probably one of the only times heā€™ll cuss actually

Now I donā€™t imagine him as a goody-two-shoes-pure-boy-do-no-wrong-innocent-mind

Definitely not

But yanno, heā€™s not swearing up a storm in his day to day, or accessorizing every other sentence with ā€œfuckā€ and ā€œshitā€ like a certain someone abby iā€™m lookin at you babe

But heā€™ll definitely lose his filter during sex

My brain has collapsed after this jesus christ

Omg hi! May I request something with harvey and gn!reader in which they are in a game of truth or dare with the other balchelors/rettes and one of them dares the farmer to kiss the doctor (farmer and harv are not necessarily in a relationship yet but they are close friends...or more ?)

Drink water! XD

Hello!! This prompt was a lot of fun to do, and Harvey is so cute! Thank you for the request anon, I really appreciate it! I don't have a beta reader unfortunately, so this might have typos or awkward phrasing (english isn't my first language agh) but I hope you enjoy anyway!! This one took me a bit longer, sorry about that! Also I drank water just for you, anon <3

2329 words, foul language, alcohol consumption, general dumbassery. GN!Farmer, implied Sam/Penny, a little suggestive at certain points but this is overall pretty tame, it might be a little ooc near the end but i tried my best whoops, manipulative Haley(but it's for everyone's benefit, don't worry), uhhhh did I miss anything? OH YEAH someone eats a spoonful of mayo sorry about that LMFAO

Harvey doesnā€™t like drinking anything that isnā€™t wine.

Wine lets him unwindā€”it loosens up his tense, stressed muscles, and after one glass, heā€™s usually set for the night. He doesnā€™t go crazy. He doesnā€™t drink liquor.

The Farmer, however, apparently does.

Theyā€™re squeezed in on the loveseat between Elliott and Shane, with one arm thrown over the back of the cushions, and theyā€™re intermittently stealing Shaneā€™s beer to down a few gulps at a time. As their doctor, heā€™s concerned, but as their boyā€”as their friendā€”his nerve endings are singed, and an uneasy feeling is building in his gut.

If he was an idiot, heā€™d blame the feeling on the nasty liquor Alex and Haley brought to the farmhouse, deep brown and thick like molasses on the way down. Unfortunately, heā€™s more self-aware than that.

Which means he knows that the sudden stab through his chest when the Farmer leans in a little too close to Elliottā€”harsh and thrashing, like a green sludge cloying up his throat and gluing his tongue to the back of his teethā€”is just jealousy.

Maru and Abigail cheer loudly on his left, piled onto the couch with Sebastian and Sam, and part of him wishes heā€™d stayed home. He couldā€™ve faked sick, maybe, and blamed it on the cold slowly blowing in from the ocean during this time of year. Heā€™s never really liked the winter season, anyway.

But then heā€™d have missed this, and even though watching the Farmer eat up the attention from Shane and Elliott is keying him up more than any surgery heā€™s ever had to perform, he never misses Thirsty Thursday.

ā€˜Thirsty Thursdayā€™ is what the Farmer calls it. They coined the term with their old group of friends back in the city, or so heā€™s been told. Rules are simple: once a month, everyone brings a bottle of alcohol to one personā€™s house, and they spend the whole night getting plastered while playing drinking games. The game is different every time.

Today's game of choice is truth or dareā€”or strip.

Everyone is in varying states of undress, and heā€™s already lost his vest, his tie, and both of his shoes. Thereā€™s a pile of clothes building in the middle of the living room, and eleven pairs of shoes scattered between half-empty bottles of alcohol.

Thankfully it doesnā€™t look like heā€™s going to be losing anything else, because the group has abandoned their attacks on each other in favor of ganging up on the Farmer, whoā€™s still fully clothed. Their boots are still perfectly laced, strings untouched and swinging to-and-fro. He watches them like pendulums, and takes another sip from his cup.

Alex flops back on the floor and throws his arms up in defeat.

ā€œI give up, this is impossible,ā€ he shouts, and Haley pokes him in the side with her foot.

ā€œQuit being dramatic, you big baby,ā€ she scolds him, raising an eyebrow with all the judgement of an angel at the gates of the afterlife. She's always scared him, a little. Too keen, knows too much, sees too much. Reads him like he's a children's book.

ā€œOh come on, thereā€™s gotta be something they wonā€™t do.ā€ Sam yells across the room, his laugh as boisterous as ever. Harvey winces. His ears always get more sensitive when heā€™s drunk.

The Farmer tosses their head back and laughs, the sound ringing sharply in his ears. Harvey licks his lips, and rubs off any residual alcohol clinging to his mustache with the back of his hand. The hair scratches his skin, and it grounds him, if only a little bit. He likes their laugh.

ā€œOh, I think Iā€™ve got one,ā€ Penny says suddenly, sitting up and pointing at the Farmer with an eager look on her face. Harvey knows for a fact that sheā€™s stone-cold-sober, and he honestly canā€™t believe sheā€™d even show up for Thirsty Thursday, given how she feels about alcohol, but maybe the fact that sheā€™s been glued to Samā€™s arm all night has something to do with it. He wonā€™t ask. ā€œFarmer, truth or dare?ā€Ā 

ā€œBring it on, Pen. Dare,ā€ the Farmer says.

ā€œI dare you to eat a spoonful of mayonnaise.ā€ Harveyā€™s face twists in disgust immediately, and the volume goes up to a hundred. Everyoneā€™s laughing because theyā€™re sure they wouldnā€™t. Not even the Farmer would do something so disgusting.

Harvey knows otherwise.

He watches with unsurprised horror as they lean forward, elbows on their knees, and give Penny a wild grin with their tongue bitten between their teeth. He wants to do that.

ā€œThatā€™s it?ā€ Their voice is like a gunshot in the living room, silencing the group for half a moment before, like vultures to a corpse, Sam is jumping up and rushing into the kitchen with Alex and Leah hot on his heels.Ā 

Within thirty seconds thereā€™s a jar of mayonnaise sitting heavy between the Farmerā€™s thighs, and Emily is handing them a spoon. Harveyā€™s pretty sure at least seven of them are yanking their phones out of their pocket to video the whole thing, and while he gets it, heā€™s seen the Farmer do much worse.

Heā€™s no longer surprised by anything they do. As their doctor, heā€™s well aware of the shenanigans they get up to during their free time, and if heā€™s being realistic, eating a spoonful of mayo is probably the tamest thing theyā€™ve done in his presence.

Itā€™s still fucking gross though. Harvey snorts to himself, watching the look on their face when they twist open the jar and dig their spoon into the devilā€™s condiment. Even when they talk a big game, he can read them easily. Harvey chuckles a little bit at the slightly green tinge on their cheeks as they bring it up to their mouth, and close their lips over the spoon.

They barely manage to get it down, to the resounding cheers of glee and disgust around them.

ā€œHoly shit, you actually did it!ā€ Sam cackles, shoving his camera in the farmerā€™s face. They flip him off and he devolves into a fit of giggles.

Sebastian gags behind him, shaking his bangs out of his eyes and flopping back down on the couch behind Harvey. ā€œThat was the grossest thing Iā€™ve ever seen in my life.ā€

ā€œI donā€™t know whether to be impressed or disgusted,ā€ Shane muses, holding his beer far out of reach from the Farmerā€™s grabby hands. ā€œNuh-uh, donā€™t even think about it, Farmer. You did this to yourself, and I donā€™t want your mayo mouth on my drink, go get your own.ā€Ā 

The Farmer whines petulantly, and Harvey gets up on his knees to pass the bottle of cranberry juice Penny brought for the punch mix. Thereā€™s just enough leftover to wash down the taste, and the Farmer plucks the near-empty jug out of his hands gratefully.

ā€œOh, my savior, thank you.ā€ They guzzle the rest of the jug without preamble, and in their haste, a single drop trickles from the corner of their lips and down their chin. Harvey watches it like a hawk, eventually losing sight of it under the collar of their shirt. He wonders how itā€™d taste to lick it off, and immediately turns his eyes to the floor.

His ears burn.

ā€œThat was disgusting, donā€™t make me do that ever again,ā€ The Farmer says, and Emily throws a pillow at them. It bounces off of their head harmlessly, and Shane catches it as it falls to the floor.

ā€œWe didnā€™t make you do anything,ā€ Shane reminds them dryly, leaning back into the cushions with a smirk. ā€œYou couldā€™ve just taken off your boots or something.ā€

ā€œBut they have to protect their honor!ā€ Leah laughs, sea-blue eyes bright and twinkling as she throws her arm over Elliott and the Farmerā€™s shoulder from behind the loveseat.

ā€œOh goodness, I can still smell it on your breath.ā€ Elliott jokes, dramatically yanking himself out of Leahā€™s grip and leaning far over the arm of the loveseat.

ā€œHow do you think I feel?ā€ The Farmer snaps at him without a trace of heat in their voice, and Elliott snorts into his palm.

ā€œWell, if that didnā€™t work, Iā€™m out of ideas.ā€ Penny shrugs, sitting back against Samā€™s chest.Ā 

ā€œYeah, Iā€™ve got nothing,ā€ Sam agrees. ā€œAnyone else?ā€

Silence follows, and Harvey almost gets ready to collect his clothes from the pile, when Haley raises her hand.

ā€œIā€™ve got one more.ā€

ā€œCanā€™t possibly be worse than making me eat mayo, so go ahead.ā€ The Farmer shudders, setting the empty juice jug on the coffee table with a hollow thunk. Harvey settles back down, his heart making a distantly similar sound.

Haley cocks her head to the side, her hair swaying in front of her calculating blue eyes. ā€œI dare you to kiss Harvey.ā€Ā 

Harvey doesnā€™t like a lot of things.Ā 

He doesnā€™t like liquor. He doesnā€™t like coral, or salmonberries, or the cold. He doesnā€™t like when the Farmer goes into the mines and comes back with a new gash on their skin, or a fractured bone in their limbs. He doesnā€™t like Thirsty Thursday.

He keeps his eyes glued to the Farmer, and desperately ignores every other pair of eyes currently digging into his skin. Theyā€™re probably all talking, but his ears have lost all functionality. The world sounds muffled and faraway, like his head is underwater.

ā€œI, uhā€¦ā€ The Farmer stutters, and Harveyā€™s pulled back to shore. He hangs onto every syllable, his gut clenching, waiting for the sucker-punch of rejection. When it comes, heā€™s going to have to pretend to be normal about it, but everyone will stare at him with that glitter of pity in the backs of their eyes that he hates so muchā€” ā€œIā€™d have to brush my teeth. Harvey hates the taste of mayonnaise.ā€

Harveyā€™s lower jaw unhinges itself from his skull and falls into his solo cup with a splash.

He shakes his head, pushing his glasses higher on his nose. ā€œIā€™m sorry, come again?ā€

The Farmer shrugs, but they wonā€™t meet his eyes. ā€œI mean, if youā€™re cool with it, I just have to brush my teeth. It was my dare, why should you have to suffer for it?ā€

They glance at him, at his lips, and Harveyā€™s launched to cloud nine.

ā€œIā€”okay. Go brush your teeth then.ā€

The Farmer nods stiffly, their cheeks and ears flushing as they stand up. ā€œCool. Be right back.ā€

He looks up, suddenly afraid, and glances across the coffee table at Haley. Sheā€™s grinning, her teeth glinting like a lioness who just caught a gazelle in her jaws. Harvey rubs the back of his neck, his skin burning.

Thereā€™s a few hollers from the guys behind him, and heā€™s pretty sure Alex and Leah have both clapped him on the back. He didnā€™t even do anything.

ā€œOkay!ā€ The Farmer calls, their voice echoing down the hall and entering the room a few seconds before them. Harvey stays rooted to the floor, his wrists aching from leaning back on them for so long. His palms are probably indented with the texture of the rug beneath him. His eyes donā€™t stray from the Farmer as they walk around the couches and every forgotten bottle littering their living room floor. They crouch down in front of him, settling down on their knees, and Harveyā€™s brain finally catches up with him.

This is actually happening.

The Farmer is going to kiss him. Heā€™s going to pass out.

ā€œSo, um. How do you want me toā€¦?ā€ They ask, and he thinks about it for a moment before realizing theyā€™re looking at Haley.Ā 

ā€œYou canā€™t figure that out for yourselves?ā€ Haley asks, her voice sharp and cutting.

The Farmerā€™s hands flap around chaotically as they sputter, searching for an appropriate defense. ā€œThis is your dare! How am I supposed to know, I canā€™t read your mind!ā€

ā€œFarmer.ā€ Harvey sets his solo cup on the coffee table. ā€œYou didnā€™t brush your teeth just to argue with Haley, did you?ā€

Itā€™s the fucking liquor. It always makes him lose his filter. It gives him confidence, but it chases his inhibitions away and makes him bolder. Heā€™s impatient, and heā€™s been dancing around this ā€˜will-we-wonā€™t-weā€™ thing heā€™s got going with the Farmer for months, and heā€™s sick of it.Ā 

Another round of hollers and gleeful exclamations bounce off the walls, but heā€™s not paying attention anymore.

ā€œNo, I didnā€™t.ā€ They say quietly, and theyā€™re not paying attention anymore, either. ā€œSo how do you want me to do this?ā€

Harvey swallows hard, his eyes flicking down to their lips. ā€œHow do you think I want you to do it?ā€

ā€œMessy,ā€ they whisper, cupping his jaw in their hands, and he might as well be delirious. ā€œBut thatā€™s not really appropriate when we have an audience, so youā€™ll have to settle for a little less.ā€

ā€œGuess youā€™ll just have to do it again when thereā€™s no audience,ā€ Harvey hisses, and then their lips are on his. Thereā€™s condensation from the beer mixing with the sweat on his palms, but he brings his hands up to grip their waist anyway. They shiver against him, breathing slowly through their nose, and Harvey pulls them closer.

They taste like toothpaste, and feel like silk in his hands. He squeezes once, trying not to groan into their mouth, lest he put on a show for the rest of the group, but they rearrange themselves against his lips, and suddenly his glasses are digging into the bridge of his nose.

He yanks himself away, barely taking a breath as he tears his glasses off his face and tosses them onto the coffee table with a clatter. He pays it no mind. Someone whistles. Probably Sam. He drags the Farmer back in and slots their lips together, clicking together like puzzle pieces as they sling their arms over his shoulders.Ā 

He slips his thumb under their shirt, just barely, and their voice rumbles deep in their chest.

He loves Thirsty Thursday.

ey yooooo are requests still open?? if so, what are the bachelor/ette's first impressions of the farmer? who do you think has a crush right off the bat and who takes a little longer to warm up to them?

They are open! Iā€™ll let yā€™all know when theyā€™re closed, but you can still send in requests regardlessā€”I wonā€™t delete any, but I have to wait until I have time to work through them. This got away from me, itā€™s so long, and I really wanted to do a bit for everybody, but the post is a monster so I'm going to make the bachelorette's a little later, if that's alright! It also fell a little more toward ā€œHow The Marriage Candidates Fall In Love With You,ā€ so. Uh. Whoops? I hope you enjoy!

Bachelorettes are here.

This is super fluffy for some of them, others not so much, Shane is Shane, and Seb is Seb. Thereā€™s some little bits of dialogue here and there, but I didnā€™t go crazy, and I tried to stick to canon but also I did not stick to canon lmfao

Sam

Sam saw you on the first friday of spring, at the saloon

He thought you lookedā€¦ pretty normal, actually

like, yeah sure, you had work boots caked with dried mud, and a backpack stuffed past-full with an assortment of busted up tools slung over your shoulder, but other than that, pretty normal

Besides, it wasnā€™t weird for people living on a farm to have a lot of tools, right?

Heā€™s got the image of you seared into his brain for a few days afterward, but doesnā€™t talk about it with Seb and Abigail because theyā€™re both weirdly touchy about the subject (more on that later)

Then you approach him at the egg festival to introduce yourself, and Samā€™s curiosity grows that much more

Your boots are still filthy, your backpack is practically bursting at the seams, and heā€™s pretty sure he saw you drop at least 5000 gold on seeds at Pierreā€™s stand

He wants to talk to you more, but then Lewis starts the egg hunt, and for the first time since Sam moved to Pelican Town, Abigail losesā€”to you

Everyone is surprised, Abigail is bitter about it, Sam wishes heā€™d had the chance to talk to you again after the egg hunt was wrapped up, but he couldnā€™t find you

Heā€™s even more taken aback when he hears about your stints in the mines to the north of town, because arenā€™t there monsters down there????Ā 

Not to mention you apparently have a nasty habit of falling asleep in town instead of at your farmhouse?? Where you should be sleeping?? Hello?????

Plus the acts of literal deforestation youā€™ve apparently been enacting outside of Sebā€™s house? (with robinā€™s permission, but still)

He is so confused

The flower dance rolls around

You donā€™t ask anyone to dance, but you do make your rounds, making sure to talk to everyoneā€”even Clint and Mr. Mullner, and heā€™s especially surprised when he spots you talking to the homeless guy that lives behind Sebā€™s house

Heā€™s interested to get to know you, but isnā€™t self-aware enough to examine the underlying intentions there

Over the course of your friendship, he starts feeling things he didnā€™t know he could

When you defend him with Lewis, when you take the blame for the egg incidentā€”and when you arrive to the bus stop twenty minutes early for their gig in the cityā€”even though you hate the city

You dressed up for the occasion, and Sam almost drops his guitar case in the dirt when he sees you

You help them load up their equipment into the bus, and Sam canā€™t stop looking at you

Asks to sit next to you during the drive

You share his earbuds and he shows their music to you

You both bob your heads to the beat, and your thighs are pressing together, but he's the only one who notices

He wants to hold your hand so bad

And then when heā€™s on stage, heā€™s got anxiety bubbling in his gut, but one look at you standing in the front row has him jumping headfirst into the set with a wild grin on his face

He catches you buying one of their band shirts and a CD from outside the venue

He gets breathless every time he sees you wearing it around town after that

You wear it when you hand him the bouquet, too, and he swears he could fall to his knees

Seb

He doesnā€™t like you

Even before you showed up, he didnā€™t like you

For weeks, you were all anyone could talk about

He couldnā€™t make it through one conversation without hearing about you, and it drove him nuts

He didnā€™t understand the allure, or the interest, and he was genuinely irritated every time you were mentioned

Like a song that you overplay so much that you end up hating it?

Yeah. exactly like that

When he meets you, heā€™s even more put off because he doesnā€™t understand you

He doesnā€™t understand why youā€™d leave the city to go to Pelican Town

He understands the allure of a gigantic swathe of land waiting to be claimed, but still.Ā 

Pelican Town???

Also weirded out by how eager you are to make friends, and the first time you gift him a quartz crystal, he doesnā€™t know how to reactā€”mainly heā€™s just afraid about how you knew he liked them because he knows for a fact that he's never told you

But even though you make him uncomfortable at first, heā€™s not going to be outright rude to you or go out of his way to be a dickhead

And honestly, youā€™re still nice

Youā€™re weird, and heā€™s never seen the land around his house so devoid of trees before, but thatā€™s really as far as his opinion goes

his mother isnā€™t stressing nearly as much about bills anymore due to your commissions, so heā€™s kind of glad about that

But youā€™re so different from him, and heā€™s pretty committed to getting the hell out of pelican town, so what does it matter? Heā€™s not going to be around for long enough to make a real friend out of you

Oh, Sebby

He immediately changes his tune the first time you give him sashimi

It was surprising that you didnā€™t make up a story or give an excuse for it, either

You waltzed into his room like you owned the place, waited until he was finished with work (which wasā€¦ a new experience for him) and set the container on his corner shelf

ā€œYou like sashimi, so I made this for you. Tell me what you think. Have a good day, Seb.ā€ and you smiled at him, and maybe you didnā€™t notice the way his ears flushed bright red, or maybe you were just too nice to point it out

And it was good sashimi

It wasnā€™t a special occasion, it wasnā€™t a prank, and he was dead confused because youā€™d only exchanged a few hellos and stilted conversations that altogether totaled a grand three minutes, so he had no idea how you knew again

Worked up the courage to ask

Everything clicked into place when you told him that his mother and half-sister mentioned it to you

And then he was stuck with the knowledge that you talked about him to other peopleā€”that you even asked about him

Youā€™re respectful of his time and boundaries, you speak kindly to him, show an interest in his hobbies, and heā€™s amassed a small collection of frozen tears and quartz crystals lined on his shelves

He orders stands for every last one, dusts them all regularly, and when you give him an obsidian stone, he starts carrying it around with him in his pocket, just because

He fights with himself for months before he can admit to himself that he has a crush on you

Definitely has that ā€œoh noā€ moment lmao

Canā€™t look at you for a little while, but once he gets over that, he canā€™t stop looking

Takes longer to admit it to anyone else, and doesnā€™t intend to admit it to you

You throw a wrench in that plan eventually :)

Alex

We all know he finds you attractive right off the bat

Whichā€”obviously, why wouldnā€™t he? (<3)

But unlike Shane, for example, heā€™s readily kind and eager to talk to someone other than his grandparents or Haley

He might be attracted to you, but heā€™ll try his best not to let that color his interactions as much

There are moments where he slips up, but thereā€™s no negative intentions there

And because he knows himself, he figures whatever mini-crush heā€™s developing will eventually go away

When it doesn't, he gets really down on himself

Starts thinking about you constantly, and rethinking all of your interactions so far

Kind of ashamed of how he treated you

Youā€™ve always been so kind to him, and so supportive of his goal to go pro

But heā€™s never reallyā€¦ reciprocated that

It takes him a long while to work up the courage to apologize

He wishes he didnā€™t do it while in the middle of a workout, but the moment felt right otherwise

It helped that it was just you and him, because youā€™re so damn popular with the rest of the town that he can rarely get a moment alone with you

And just like he figured you would, you accept his apology without any fanfare, and then turn right around and encourage him again

Heā€™s got hearts in his eyes, trust

His crush builds over the course of months, and the moment itā€™s solidified is when you catch him on the beach, reminiscing about his mother

You donā€™t judge him for his tears, and even though you laugh when he asks you to keep it under lock and key, the sound is bright in his ears like wind chimes

And you still kept his secret

Alex is gone on you from that moment, 100%

Youā€™re kind, and attractive, and you treat him so well it almost makes him feel insecure

When heā€™s working at the ice cream stand during the summer, there are plenty of times where heā€™s almost scooped out of the wrong tray because he was busy thinking about you

Heā€™s never felt this way about anyone

All of his crushes have been super shallow in the past, but this is different

They were all physical, but he fantasizes about living on the farm with you, and wonders what kind of partner youā€™d be on the regular

Sticks his face in the freezer when his thoughts veer into less innocent territory (he thought about how you might like to kiss him)

Haley makes fun of him about it lmfao

Yā€™all donā€™t figure your shit out until year two, probably during the dance of the moonlight jellies

You ask him to watch them with you, and with the glow of the ocean illuminating your face, you hand him the bouquet

He accepts it (duh) and tries to play it cool, but heā€™s cheesing for the rest of the night

Elliott

Sees you fishing on the beach after an early morning spent in the mines

He walks out of his cabin to stretch his legs after a long night sitting at his writing desk

Heā€™s only been in Pelican Town for a year himself, but he notices a new face right off the bat

Youā€™ve got your legs hanging off the edge of the pier, fishing rod in hand, and two buckets next to you (one for bait, the other for your catches)

Elliott knows youā€™re the new farmer immediately

Though heā€™s not entirely sure why a farmer would need a sword, or a shoulder guard

Heā€™s not intending to introduce himself to you, but when you look up and lock eyes with him, thereā€™s a sudden tug in his chest

He believes in soulmates, Iā€™ll just say that

Then you wave at him and smile, and he walks up without thinking about it

You take your fishing rod out of the water and set it aside, getting up to introduce yourself, and Elliott is fond of you already

Anyone who prioritizes the person theyā€™re speaking to is going to be very attractive to him

And because Elliottā€™s a little sensitive, he tends to take it the wrong way when the person heā€™s speaking to doesnā€™t give him their full attention

One of my personal hcs is that he came from a rich family that never paid any real attention to him or valued his input

So when you give that to him without a second thought, he knows heā€™ll get along with you just fine

Heā€™s curious about you in the beginning, but thatā€™s as far as allows himself to take it

He thinks of you as a friend, or at least he tries to

Maybe it was the way the sunlight streaming through his windows caught your eyes as you inspected his struggling rose, or maybe it was the soft smiles you gave him when he would find crabs in his shirt pocket, but heā€™s constantly catching himself thinking about you

He plays it cool for the most part

But then you gift him a bottle of squid ink, mentioning how you noticed his stock getting low during your last visit, and the gears in his head make a funny noise

During the long process of writing his book, there were many times he was cemented in place by his writerā€™s block

But when his brisk walks through town and his piano breaks werenā€™t enough to spark inspiration, even a short conversation with you was enough for his fingers to twitch

You make him enjoy his art again, and he doesnā€™t care if someone notices the similarities between you and the protagonist of his book

Finally embraces it and dedicates his book to you

He knows heā€™s probably being so obvious about his feelings, but your face flushes brightly when he tells you during his reading at the library

If Iā€™m honest, I donā€™t think heā€™s actually capable of having crushes on people

He feels everything so deeply that he might just fall straight into the ā€˜smittenā€™ category, but he swears that something about you is different

When you hand him the bouquet, he doesnā€™t blame fate, or any cosmic forces

None of them hold a candle to your power over him, anyway

Shane

We know how this guy is

Or rather, we know how he acts

Heā€™s not at all curious, and he would rather you leave him alone entirely, but itā€™s not because he hates you or anything

He just doesnā€™t know you

But most everyone in town looks at him with pity, and he canā€™t stand another person looking at him like that

Heā€™d rather you just not like him at all, so at least your expression will be different

Except youā€™re a persistent little shit

Every request he sticks on the board outside Pierreā€™s will be completed within the first few hours of the day, and he knows every time that itā€™ll be you, with whatever heā€™s asked for in your hands and an eager smile on your face

You always make time to talk to him, you smile at him on your way to whatever it is you get up to in your free time, and heā€™s pretty sure youā€™ve spent a small fortune on pizza and beer for him at the saloon

You laugh at his jokes, you listen to him rant about Morris and shitty customers without a shred of complaintā€”you make him feel like heā€™s actually worth listening to

The first time heā€™s properly mean to you is when heā€™s on his way to work

Heā€™s finally accepted that you want something to do with him, and youā€™re tentative friends now, so it isnā€™t on purpose, but itā€™s still his fault

Itā€™s cold outside, he hasnā€™t had a drink in two days, and he canā€™t drink before work if he wants to keep his job, so his withdrawals are bad

The wounded look on your face when he snaps at you swims behind his eyelids for his whole shift

Heā€™s fighting tears back for the rest of the day, and his self-talk is the worst itā€™s been in a long time

Heā€™s convinced heā€™s driven you away for good, and while part of him is almost glad that heā€™s managed to do it, the other, much louder part of him, is breaking apart because heā€™s really and truly fucked up with you

Heā€™s at the saloon that night, already two beers in, when you waltz in

He makes eye contact with you out of habit, and your smile falters, just a bit

He feels like shit immediately, and looks down into his pint

For the first time he realizes that having you hate him feels infinitely worse than how it would if you pitied him

But with that knowledge, he reserves himself to his fuck-up

Even though he knows he should apologize, because thatā€™s the right thing to do, he figures itā€™d be better for you if he just kept to himself and left you be

Until you plop down on the stool next to him at the bar, with a drink of your own

ā€œHey, grumpy. Do you feel like tolerating some company now?ā€

Stares at you in surprise for what feels like a minute before he stares into his pint again, squinting and trying to find anything wrong with it

You chuckle at him and guide him into setting down his beer

ā€œNo one spiked your drink, knucklehead, itā€™s meā€

Was convinced that youā€™d want nothing to do with him, but then you order a pizza for the two of you, and heā€™s struck clean through by howā€¦ normal youā€™re being about him

Apologizes while youā€™re waiting for your food, and asks pretty bluntly why youā€™d still want to talk to him after that morning

ā€œI figured you were just in one of your moods,ā€ you shrug, taking a long drink from your glass, ā€œBesides, Iā€™ve had my moments, too. Itā€™d be pretty hypocritical of me to get on your ass about it. But I forgive you, so quit beating yourself up about it, yeah?ā€

Probably doesnā€™t believe youā€™re capable of any ā€œmomentsā€ because youā€™re always busting your ass to be the kindest you can possibly be

He used to think it was weird, and probably took you as the manipulative type when you first arrived, because you gave gifts and started conversations undeterred, desperate to win affection

But looking at you right then, he finally figures it outā€”that thatā€™s just you

Maybe you do want everyone to like you, but your interactions with everyone have never been shallow

His chest gets tight, and he sets down his pint. He doesnā€™t intend on finishing it, because his vision is blurring around the edges, and he really wants to remember your conversation

Usually youā€™d ask him about how his shift wentā€”if Morris was an annoying prick again, but he beats you to it while youā€™re in the middle of a sipĀ 

ā€œTell me about your day?ā€

The surprise coloring your features makes him feel guilty, but he shoves that aside in favor of listening to you talk

He didnā€™t know you went into the mines as frequently as you did, and he has no idea what the hell a ā€œskull cavernā€ is, but he hangs on every word

You both walk home together, dropping him off at Marnieā€™s as you go, and he flops into bed with his head swimming and a dopey smile on his face

He wakes up the next day with a hangover, but heā€™s off work, and heā€™s still got the image of your smile tattooed on his brain

ā€œFuck.ā€

Yā€™all heā€™s so dumb

Harvey

You have this man stressed out from day one, and it takes him longer than the others to realize his feelingsā€”or develop them (longer than Shane, too. Wild isnā€™t it?)

Heā€™s a little impressed with your complete lack of anxiety about most things

Heā€™s been the valley doctor for years now, but he still doesnā€™t have a very personal relationship with most of the townies

But you moved in three months ago and youā€™re already on your way to being besties with half of the town

The only thing heā€™s not sure about is your apparent lack of self-preservation instincts

Youā€™ve passed out in every part of the valley at least once, and heā€™s treated several broken bones and serious injuries of yours by the time summer rolls around

heā€™s worried about youā€”as the valley doctor, he practically holds everyoneā€™s lives in his hands, and there are patients that heā€™s lost in the past and canā€™t forget about

So making sure everyone is taking care of themselves is already nerve-wracking enough without throwing someone like you in the mix

You, who canā€™t go one week without some incident happening

Heā€™s started up a tentative friendship with Marlon up at the guild, if only for the many times heā€™s carried you down to the clinic with varying level of injuries littering your skin

But youā€™re aware of the stress you bring him, and over time, you start improving

You get better at defending yourself in the mines, and he hasnā€™t found you passed out in front of someoneā€™s porch in at least two months

That doesnā€™t sound like a long time, but given your track record, itā€™s impressive

And youā€™ve made a habit out of bringing him a coffee twice a week as a silent apology/thank you

He appreciates the caffeine, and your efforts to not stress him out

And during your check-up, heā€™s surprised to find that youā€™re actuallyā€”all things consideredā€”pretty healthy

You bashfully admit that youā€™ve been trying to take better care of yourself so he doesnā€™t have to worry, and even though thereā€™s no way he wonā€™t worry, he appreciates it nonetheless

He properly realizes his feelings when you watch the plane fly overhead together

Youā€™ve got your head poked out his apartment window, trying to catch a glimpse of the plane

Heā€™s watching you carefully, making sure you donā€™t lean too far out, when it hits him

Heā€™s not sure why, but youā€™ve got the sun shining on your face as you squint through your fingers to look at the sky, and the smile on your face when you spot the plane is brilliant

His breath leaves him in a silent gasp, and he doesnā€™t really care that he doesnā€™t get to take a good look at the plane, because heā€™d rather look at you

Over-explains his model planes to keep you around longer, but thinks about it for days afterward

Canā€™t stop thinking about how you looked, listening to him talk with your full attention

He doesnā€™t have many friends, and no one has ever shown a real and true interest in his hobbiesā€”most people have found him dorky for it, but not you

He can tell the model of a plane based on the shadow of it in the sky and the sound of its motor, and you never fail to point one out and ask him which one it is

The glee on your face when he picks it out easily will never fail to make him smile

For what feels like the first time in his life, he can impress someone

His family is full of successful people: lawyers, musicians, a few unsavory cousins of his have turned to politics, and thereā€™s more than a few pilots as well. Him being a doctor was never impressive to the people around him growing upā€”it was expected

He didnā€™t get much praise, forever overshadowed by everyone else in his family

Fake praise grinds his gears, but he knows itā€™s never anything but the truth when it comes from you

And the fact that it comes from you, who took up the mantle of your grandfather and turned the farm around from its steady decay and deterioration with your bare hands?

His confidence always jumps a level or two when you compliment him, because if you like him and think heā€™s cool, then he must be, you know?

A few weeks later, when he sees you standing outside the clinic through the window, heā€™s a little confused

Heā€™s pretty sure youā€™ve already given him his caffeine for the week, but when he walks out to ask you whatā€™s up, he sees the bouquet in your hands

Heā€™s your doctor, and because heā€™s your doctor, he knows the blush on your cheeks and the scattered eye contact isnā€™t indicative of anything but nerves

Youā€™re both practically steaming with how hard youā€™re blushing, and he gently takes the bouquet out of your hands

He doesnā€™t mind that he didnā€™t get to be a pilot. If he had, he doesnā€™t think he wouldā€™ve met you, and with the scent of flowers in his nose and your image etched into his memory, thereā€™s nothing heā€™d hate more aw you guys are so cute

What song/genre of music do you think of when you imagine the bachelor/ettes? If there was a specific artist or band for Sam, who do you think they'd be?

Ooohā€”I actually have thought about this! I have a playlist just for when I'm writing blurbs about the stardew valley characters, and no I don't care if any of these are predictable because I think they're accurate lmfao.

Sam

2014 Five Seconds of Summer, Shawn Mendes, and Why Don't We. His general vibe is young, reckless love. If there's a specific song in mind, I think of him as a mix between 5sos' End Up Here, She Looks So Perfect, If I Can't Have You by Shawn, and Why Don't We's Fallin' (Adrenaline)

Seb

I think he's a mix between 5sos' Voodoo Doll, Troye Sivan's Strawberries and Cigarettes, Taylor Swift's Style, and the last 90-ish seconds of Sleep Token's The Summoning. Also Conan Gray's Overdrive. He's still young and reckless, but he's a little more subdued and all over the place.

Alex

One Directions' Steal My Girl, Shawn Mendes' Wonder, and Harry Styles' Watermelon Sugar. Even though they're pretty heavy with gendered language, I have no issue imagining Alex with varying farmers while listening to these songs.

Elliott

His love definitely swerves more toward obsession and worship, so anything by Hozier, no question about it. But also Can't Take My Eyes Off You by Frank Valli is heavy Elliott energy.

Shane

Everybody Wants You by Johnny Orlando, Someone To You by BANNERS, DogBird by Madds Buckley, and Lauv's I Like Me Better. Like Seb, Shane's pretty all over the place as well. Also he makes me cry ahaha. hm.

Harvey

Harvey gave me a little bit of trouble when I first started writing. I had to think about him quite a bit to land on a genre/song for him. Anyway, Ophelia by The Lumineers, Ready Now by dodie, and The Way You Look Tonight by Michael BublƩ are all Harvey coded. END ME

Maru

In My Mind by Lyn Lapid, Bubble Gum by Clairo, and Space Girl by Frances Forever. I imagine her as a pretty inexperienced and romantically repressed character (I wonder why Demetrius) so all of these songs have a certain level of melancholy about them, which is very Maru for me.

Penny

She by dodie, Conan Gray's Heather, and Lonely by Noah Cyrus. Repressed, just like Maru, but for different reasons. Never had the opportunity to really live her life, you know? Lots of insecurities and feelings of inadequacy my poor babie nO but I usually only listen to those when I'm feeling a little down. You can trust that I don't always write angst for her, and when I don't, it's loooots of early Taylor Swift.

Haley

Sabrina Carpenter. That's it. lmao no i'm kidding Diamonds Are Forever, Nonsense, Looking At Me, and Girlfriend by Bea Miller. I love me a mean, confident lesbian, but she does soften up the more you get to know her, and I always listen to Isabel LaRosa's I'm Yours when I want to go that route with her. I also think of her when I listen to Dress by Charlotte Sands.

Abigail

Very punchy, "powerful woman" type songs. Namely UPSAHL's People I Don't Like, Beautiful is Boring by BONES UK, and American Horror Show by SNOW WIFE. She has opinions and she's going to let you know what she thinksā€”but make no mistake, she is a loyal and good person to her core. She's just got an attitude sometimes.

Leah

Cosmic Love by Florence + The Machines, Light My Love by Greta Van Fleet, and Constellations by The Oh Hellos. She's got a certain whimsy about her, but she's still a very grounded individual. She and Elliott have a similar vibe to each other, but where he's the smell of salty sea spray and plum juice dripping from your fingers, she's frayed picnic blankets and the smell of grass after it rains.

Emily

Now this might be controversial, but SeƱorita by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello is always gonna make me think of her. I'm Born To Run by American Authors, Enchanted by Taylor Swift (her version, obviously), are also both some of the easiest songs for me to think about her. She definitely believes in soulmates and fate, and probably makes jewelry or sews while thinking about you.

I always get so sad when I think about the bachelors and bachelorttes not being able to achieve their dreams :( so how do you think the game would be different if they had? like before they meet the farmer? (i love your writing by the way,,,)

While I was thinking about this, the main question in my head was ā€œWhy would any of them still be in Pelican Town if they achieved their dreams?ā€ Sooo I had to put them through some bullshit to get them all in one place lmao. Thank you for enjoying my writing, it means... way more than any of you probably realize. Anyway, this was fun to think about, and I hope you have fun reading it! <3

Mentions of parental death, abuse, infidelity, dysfunctional familial relationships, and reference to Leahā€™s shitty ex (FUCK YOU, KEL!)

Sam was the lead singer of his own band, but is now struggling to find his new normal after the members decided to go their separate ways. It certainly doesnā€™t help that they ended on negative terms, and their fanbase has become fractured due to the controversy surrounding the break-up. Sam has come back to Pelican Town to spend time with his family and figure out which direction he wants to take his career, but his band-mates said ill-intended things about him before they broke up, and heā€™s struggling to make amends with his perception of himself. He tries to write new songs, but he isnā€™t liking anything heā€™s come up with, and itā€™s reflecting poorly on his self-esteem. He wonders if his fans will still be there waiting once heā€™s ready to release his solo-music, and is paralyzed with fear about what will happen to him and his career if they arenā€™t.

Sebastian is a professional coder. He saved up enough money to move away as soon as he turned eighteen, and has only visited for holidays since. He was previously engaged while living in the city, but after his fiancĆ© cheated on him with a coworker, he returned to Pelican Town to pick up the pieces of his heart. During his time away he managed to check himself into therapy, so heā€™s well-equipped to handle conflicts with his family, and his relationship with his mother and sister have improved dramatically since, which is really nice. He is trying his best to pursue a healthier relationship with Demetrius, but the man really doesnā€™t make it easy. Robin also added an extension to the house, so he doesnā€™t live in the basement anymore. His room has a window now, but he still prefers the rain, and discovers with surprise that he likes the rain in Pelican Town more than he ever did in the city. Itā€™s nice to see the frogs again.

Alex is a professional gridball player. His mother passed away before she could see him achieve his dreams, but his father has contacted him many times. Alex knows his father doesnā€™t actually want a relationship with him, though, because the only times heā€™s contacted him is to ask for money. Alex blocks his dadā€™s number after catching sight of him on the news, trying to drag Alex's name through the mud, but eventually moves away when his dad breaks into his apartment and wrecks the place. He settles back into his bedroom at Evelyn and Georgeā€™s house, and tries not to feel too drained by the legal proceedings. Itā€™s pretty relaxing though, going back home during his off-season. Not to mention he really missed the summers in Pelican Town.

Elliott is a reputable author. Heā€™s written a trilogy or two, a smattering of stand-alone novels, and even has a few broadway credits. But after years of constantly writing, heā€™s burnt out and tired, and needs a break, so he moves out of his stuffy apartment in the city and into the cabin on the beach. He commissions Robin for expansions and repairs, and itā€™s turned into quite a nice place, if he should be so bold to say so. He talks to Willy a lot, and after hearing the stories the fisherman has collected over the years, he kind of wants to write a book about pirates or some other kind of adventurer, but nothing is coming to mind. Heā€™s got an excess of inspiration and drive, but the moment his pen hits the paper, his mind goes blank. Itā€™s incredibly irritating.

Shane is one of the most notable film directors of the last decade, and heā€™s got quite a number of credits under his belt. His IMDb page is massive, and while he doesnā€™t get recognized on the street very often, anyone who knows anything about film will know his name. He moved to Pelican Town with Jas after the death of her parents. Riddled with grief, he had the presence of mind to recognize some bad habits were developing, and he couldnā€™t really handle the pressure of celebrity life anymore. He drinks occasionally, but he doesnā€™t consider himself an alcoholic. He only drinks a few times a weekā€”and compared to his colleagues in the cityā€”thatā€™s nothing.

Harvey is an experienced pilot. He initially wanted to join the Ferngill Republic Air Force, but after many discussions with his parents, he decided to pursue an ATP certification and become an airline pilot instead. However, due to the recent trauma of a severe crash, Harvey is taking a break from flying. Heā€™s become intensely afraid of heights, and the thought of getting in a plane makes him physically sick to his stomach. Heā€™s been working on it, but itā€™s already been a year, and heā€™s not any closer to being back in the pilotā€™s chair. Whatā€™s wrong with him?

Maru went to university to pursue a career in STEM, but was quickly disillusioned and decided it wasnā€™t for her, so she decided to switch gears and abandon her dream school. Robin understood after a short explanation and told her to come back home, but Maruā€™s relationship with her father has become strained since, and even though they regularly experiment in the lab together, it causes some unnecessary drama in the household. Maru tries not to let it get to her too much, but it does. More positively though, her relationship with Sebastian has improved since they both came home, and they can actually hold a conversation without getting irritated at each other. She likes hanging out with her brother, but wishes that they could've gotten along like this as kids, too. They have a lot of years to catch up on!

Penny was a stay-at-home-mom up until a few months ago, when her partner suddenly decided domestic life wasnā€™t for them, and yanked the rug out from under her. With nowhere to go and no employment, she trudged back to Pelican Town with her tail between her legs and a toddler on her hip, to move back in with her mother. She teaches Vincent and Jas regularly, and works as a private tutor for a few clients in the town over. Pam chose to take on the majority of childcare for her grandchild, but sheā€™s excelling at it and hasnā€™t stepped foot in the saloon in a long time. It should be a great thing, but Penny doesnā€™t know why sheā€™s so bothered by it.

Abigail is an active member of the adventurerā€™s guild, a highly skilled swordswoman, and she will occasionally dabble with the magical forces of Stardew Valley under the careful guidance of her mentor, Rasmodius. Yes, she knows. No, she doesnā€™t mention it, and neither does he. She doesnā€™t live with her parents anymore. When she was looking to move out, she asked to buy the deed to the old farm, but was quickly shot down by Lewis, and decided instead to claim the decrepit cabin south of Rasmodiusā€™ tower. Robin helped her fix it up, and after a few months, it was in good enough repair to move in permanently. She spends most of her days down in the mines, clearing the monsters on the lower floors. Sheā€™s never gone past level 20, if only to save herself from her motherā€™s tearful begging, but Pierre has given up. They donā€™t speak much.

Haley is a prolific photographer. Her portfolio is hefty, some photos dating back from when she was in high school, but the most recent picture is from three months ago, and she hasnā€™t picked up her camera since. She doesnā€™t know why, but nothing looks interesting enough to shoot anymore. The world looks flat and dull, but maybe thatā€™s just the city. When her parents ask her and her sister to watch their house in Pelican Town while they galavant through the archipelago on some ā€œsoul-searching-journey,ā€ she accepts without preamble. Maybe she just needs a change of scenery to get her inspiration back. Maybe sheā€™ll find her muse?

Leah is a revered artist, and many of her pieces are in museums and art galleries. She tries to live in the city, but quickly realizes that she hates it, and after a few misses, she moves to Pelican Town. The lush flora and fauna kick her inspiration into overdrive, and with the amount of foraged greens sheā€™s been eating since moving into the cabin next to Marnieā€™s, she doesnā€™t think sheā€™s ever felt so good. Unfortunately her ex Kel is determined to sniff her out, and that puts a damper on her shiny new life in Pelican Town. She wishes it was because they actually loved her, but she knows itā€™s only because they miss the luxurious life Leahā€™s job afforded them. She tries not to think too hard about that, though.

Emily is a fashion designer! Sheā€™s had plenty of shows during different fashion weeks and other events, and many name-brands have collaborated with her. She does do stylist work on the side, and many of her clients are a-list celebrities or high profile professionals. She prefers the countryside, though, so when her parents offered her and her sister their place in Pelican Town, she jumped at the opportunity! Only thing is, itā€™s been years since her and Haley have occupied the same space, and every resident in town has a dark cloud of thick negative energy hovering over their heads. Sheā€™s overwhelmed with guilt, knowing she canā€™t do anything to help.

Thinking lovingly abt the silly headcanon me and a friend came up with where Lewis just has this insane one sided beef with Shane. Like Shane doesn't even know they're enemies but Lewis HATES him!!! He used to be able to see Marnie whenever he wanted but NOW he can't sneak in or out during the night anymore because there's just some Guy there!!! Can't slip through the front door because now there's just some dude there who's eating leftovers out of the fridge in his t shirt and boxers at 3am because he's wasted and has crazy munchies!!!!! Lewis is FUMING!!!!!! Meanwhile Shane doesn't even know they have beef...

Which is also why in Nix-verse Lewis is very eager once Nix starts not-so-subtley hinting and asking how marriage works in this area. He's like YES YES IT'S VERY SIMPLE AND EASY I CAN GIVE YOU THE DOCUMENTS NOW IF YOU LIKE!!!!! Lemme tell you, Lewis is over the moon at the idea of Shane moving out and finally being able to visit Marnie in peace again LOL

The one thing i hate about the Stardew valley fandom is how a lot of people demonize mental health issues. Like, Being somebody with clinical depression, PTSD and autism it really upsets me when people are mean about Shane and Kent.

They treat Hailey like she's the perfect woman because she's mean then Treat Shane like the scum of the earth for being mean as well.

I have a caffine addiction, and while it's not as horrible as having an alcohol addiction it's still an addiction that im trying to overcome and i have depression as well. So seeing people treat Shane like that, plus calling him a liar when he's not 100% happy and sober all the time it really upsets me to see how he's treated, and i don't like him because I want to fix him, its just nice to see depression portrayed so realistically and to feel represented in media and i just want to be there for him. I can relate to him, and when people insult him and treat him like the bad guy for being mean and depressed and not 100% sober i feel like im doing something wrong and I'm a bad person for having depression and anxiety

And i have PTSD over very different things then kent, but I understand things that trigger memories to events, if I see the person who mistreated me in life or if somebody mentions middle school I get really upset and will go on a rant about it, when I get so upset I get angry im brought back to those horrible memories, and I understand why hes stressed over something that seems minimal to others And people are mean about him too, hes not a bad person he's just got PTSD and he doesn't know how to handle it. I feel bad for him when the community is mean to him over that cutscene.

and these are fictional characters it makes me scared how they would treat a real human being with similar issues, like me. I joke about if you hate these characters you should hate me too but like, it really pisses me off how this community treats mental illnesses And being somebody with these issues i really just want to spread awareness on how i personally feel when people say horrible things about these clearly mentally ill characters that have issues that real people have

Mental illness isn't black and white y'know, and if you think it is i think you might wanna get your eyes checked because you might just be completely colorblind, or blind in general. the actual mental toll it puts on real people to be represented by characters who's mental illnesses are portrayed very realistically only to be treated poorly by uneducated fans of the series/game/movie/ etc. It's very heartbreaking to me personally..

I just want fans of Stardew to be more mindful of characters like shane and Kent because there are real people like them that have the same issues as them. You don't have to like them just understand that real people have been through the same things they have and be respectful of that. i mean I don't like Harvey but I am respectful of people with anxiety, I have anxiety too. I think everyone does at this point.. but i would never undermine his anxiety or say he's a horrible person Because he's anxious that's a disgusting thing to imply and it should be the same way with characters like shane and Kent but it's not that way

The double standard with shane and hailey is an argument that may just involve sexism but that's an entirely different argument that i don't wanna get into rn, but just know, you don't necessarily have to be a nice person to be a good person, and vise versa.

Tldr: you guys need to stop saying Shane and kent are bad people for having mental illnesses, it's really gross and insulting to those with mental illnesses

could you write something about your first kisses with the bachelor/ettes? I feel like you're the only blog who characterizes them well ugh

Hey, anon. Sorry for disappearing on you, thatā€™s my bad. I hope this is worth the wait.Ā 

Honestly, I try not to look at a lot of other stardew blogs because someone elseā€™s opinion of a character can pretty heavily influence my own interpretationsā€”howeverā€”Jo, Beets, Snail and Bom are all great, and I canā€™t recommend them enough. (Minors do not follow/interact with Jo or Beets, and Bom and Snail donā€™t want any kiddos interacting with their NSFW stuff, so donā€™t do that either. Be nice and respect everyone's boundaries.) But besides them, Iā€™ve got nothing. Maybe some good samaritans will drop a few more users in the notes for you? But as always I appreciate the love, anon.

Thereā€™s cursing (my fault), a little bit of dialogue, and some suggestive moments (also my fault), but it isn't bad so Iā€™ll settle with a ā€œMinors Proceed With Extreme Cautionā€ warning. I know that some of the bachelors have a proper kiss in their heart events, but I like my ideas more so weā€™re gonna ignore those lmfao.

Sam

Out of all of the bachelors, heā€™s the most nervous

Which is ironic, given the ā€œjump-head-first-into-things-with-no-care-for-my-personal-safetyā€ vibe heā€™s got going on, but whatever

He refuses to touch you, at firstā€”but not because he doesnā€™t want to

Sam is an extremely tactile person, so of course he wants to touch youā€”but he also knows he can be a bit much sometimes, and he doesnā€™t want to chase you off with his greed or his enthusiasm

So he goes for soft, gentle, and perfectly pliant under your touch as you pull him in

Itā€™s honestly a little jarring, because he seems the type to get desperate (true) and not be able to control himself (also very true)

But this boy is exercising an immense amount of self control to not jump headfirst into getting heavy and fast and yanking on clothes too hard

He does a good job keeping himself contained atta boy, buddy

He thought that once heā€™d finally gotten a taste of you, maybe heā€™d finally be able to think about literally anything else

Unfortunately, he would be incorrect

And now that he has experienced it, heā€™s overwhelmed and dizzy with his want

He keeps his eyes closed and basks in it for at least five seconds after you pull away

He is absolutely heaving, wrecked just from the tiniest chaste press of your lips against his

Heā€™s been waiting for you to do that for weeks

His eyes flutter open slowly, and then his gaze flicks up to you

Licks his lips as he tracks his eyes down your torso and back up

His palm is warm against the back of your neck as he pulls you down for seconds

And yeah, this is more like how you thought itā€™d be

Does not stop pulling you against him, even though you physically couldnā€™t get any closer if you tried

Your shirt gets rucked up to your waist untintentionally, because he keeps gripping you and yanking you closer

But the moment he feels your bare skin against his palms, heā€™s flinging himself backward

Blinks up at you with bright pink cheeks and his hands twitching against your waist

Swallows hard and clenches his jaw

He knows he should let go but he really doesnā€™t want to

If you lean back in, he drags his hands up slowly, and traces the line of your spine with his fingertips

Iā€™ll stop there lol

Seb

This boy. Jesus.

Heā€™s got next to no experience, letā€™s just get that out of the way now

Is immediately overwhelmed, even before you kiss him

Just the feeling of your palms warm on his jaw as you angle him just so is enough to have him trembling

Stares at your lips through half-lidded eyes until you finally finish closing the distance

Shivers at the slightest brush of your lips against his

He gasps high and canā€™t even find it in himself to be embarrassed by it

Grabs onto your hips for dear life

He is immensely glad that you decided to kiss him while he was leaning on his bike, because otherwise he would have collapsed at your feet he might collapse anyway

Lord help him if you try to deepen the kiss though

If you do, he might actually pass out

Similarly to Sam, heā€™s going to get desperate after a minute, but heā€™ll hold himself back

Heā€™ll have way less success with it than Sam, though

Sebastian definitely holds you a little too tight, and doesnā€™t give you enough space or time to breathe between kisses

Even if you donā€™t touch him beyond holding his face, when you pull away, he looks absolutely debauched

Like you couldā€™ve sworn your hands were never in his hair but somehow itā€™s still ruffled?

Nevermind his hoodie sitting askew on his shoulders and giving a considerable peak at his collarbones

Honestly you donā€™t know how he managed to do all that, but donā€™t bother asking him because he is not able to think straight at all

His eyes are hardly open, blinking slowly and zoned absolutely the fuck out while he tries to catch his breath

Homeboy is straight up panting

ā€œBreathe, Seb.ā€

Whines out a ā€œnoā€ all petulantly, pulls you flush against his chest, and dives in again

Alex

Homeboy spent weeks fantasizing about kissing you before he finally worked up the courage

He wants your first kiss to be special, like something straight off the movie screen

But heā€™s constantly second guessing himself, convinced that no moment is perfect enough to cut it

Heā€™s hoping that the moment will come when youā€™re on a date or something, and heā€™s planning romantic shit left and right with the hopes that something will click and thatā€™ll be it

Heā€™s dropping you off at home after another date, and another failed attempt

He walks down your porch and turns around briefly to make sure you get inside safely

Youā€™re watching him go, a knowing smile on your face as you reach for the handle

ā€œGoodnight, Alex. Get home safe.ā€

You lick your lips, and turn to go inside

Thatā€™s what does it. Because of course it is.

The urge, the determination, the sudden desire thick and pooling in his chest that heā€™s never felt beforeā€”he knows without a doubt that if he doesnā€™t kiss you right now, heā€™s going to cry

Fuck perfection, fuck the moment, he just wants to kiss you

Practically stomps up your front steps, breath heaving in his chest as he reaches out and pulls you right against him with a hand on your jaw

Angling you just so, and leaning in to seal your lips together

He breathes a sigh of relief

Finally.

Something like satisfaction settles in his chest, warm like honey dripping into a mug of tea

His touch is firm on your jaw, keeping you perfectly angled for him to kiss you how he wants

You hold onto his arms for dear life, anchoring yourself to him as he kisses you so eagerly that your back actually hits your front door

It doesnā€™t hurt, but that makes you gasp into his mouth, and oof that sound is dangerous for his sanity

Isnā€™t really rough about it, but he is firm

Hisses a curse or two between kisses, licks his lips a lot because he canā€™t get enough

Bringing your hands up around his shoulders, you tangle your fingertips in the short cropped hair on his nape

You run your fingernails over his skin lightly, and he shivers hard

Practically pins you against the door in his effort to get closer

He accidentally presses too close, and the tiniest noise rumbles against his lips from the back of your throat

He knows what that sound means immediately, and alarm bells go off in his head

Tears himself away from you and pants for breath

Drops his forehead against your shoulder and props himself up against the door instead of holding you

ā€œAlex?ā€Ā 

God, your voice is all hoarse from kissing him and itā€™s putting dangerous thoughts in his head

ā€œI should go home. Before Iā€¦ā€

You agree, but he doesnā€™t move away

Your eyes flick down to his lips for a split second, and thatā€™s enough

Just one more, he tells himself, and then youā€™re swapping the air in your lungs again

With one hand spread against the mahogany and the other gripping your hip, he gives you a few more than just the one

ElliottĀ 

Same dilemma as Alex

Wants it to be special, dramatic, memorable, heart-stopping, all the things

And he tries

He tries so hard

And it almost works.Ā 

God dammit, his picnic by the pond next to Marnieā€™s almost works

The moment is perfect, youā€™re smiling up at him with the breeze blowing in your hair and the sun in your smile

Until the sun is suddenly gone and the wind picks up into a howl

In almost no time at all a storm cracks the sky open and you two get absolutely drenched

You run to your farmhouse, practically soaked through as you make it to the safety of your porch awning

The picnic is ruined, and heā€™s super disappointed because he was so closeĀ 

Then he looks at you, and heā€™s never seen such a beautiful sight

Hair glued to your face from the rain, with a wild grin on your face and your laughter chiming like bells in his ears

He drops the picnic blanket heavy with rain water across the top of your porch bench to dry, and sets the basket down

He needs his hands free if he wants to do this right

Heā€™s stepping towards you, shivering from the rain sticking to his skin

And we all know Elliott is a romantic at heart

Wipes the rain off your cheeks as best he can, all while he smiles softly at you

ā€œMay I kiss you?ā€

You nod quickly, immediately hooking your hands on the lapels of his jacket and hanging on

Kisses you gentle and slow

Cradles the back of your head and neck like youā€™re made of glass

It isnā€™t a particularly long kissā€”maybe a few seconds at most

Breathes quietly against your lips when you part

Looks at you for a few long moments with all the love in his heart, and doesnā€™t plan on kissing you twice until youā€™re glancing at his lips again

Elliott brings his hands to your shoulder blades and presses you close to his chest

But he canā€™t get close enough

Drags his hands down to your waist and grips you tight

You squeak against his mouth when he does, and thatā€™s when he loses his composure

Starts kissing you a little more firmly, tries deepening the kiss a bit

Shivers and gasps when your fingers tangle into his hair, still stringy and wet from the rain

And he doesnā€™t stop shivering

You pull away, feeling his shoulders shaking uncontrollably, and then you giggle because his teeth have started chattering

ā€œCold?ā€

ā€œExtremely.ā€

You invite him inside to dry off and warm up

He may or may not kiss you again.

Shane

Youā€™d think your first kiss would be nervous and awkwardā€”no.

Shane holds himself back for at least a few weeks into your relationship, worried out of his mind that one wrong move is gonna shatter everything for you two

So once heā€™s confident and knows for certain that heā€™s what you want,

Heā€™s not holding back for shit

Homeboy physically canā€™t stand the tension anymore anyway, especially with how often he catches you staring at himā€”at his lips

Pulls you in by the back of your neck and keeps his hand there to hold you close

Even when he pulls away to let you catch your breath, itā€™s barely enough because youā€™re still gasping into each otherā€™s mouths

He literally does not let you go more than an inch or two

Your lips are 100% flushed and tingling from how much he nips at them

His other hand is firm on your waist and he does not let you go unless you ask him to

Struggles to choose between looking into your eyes or staring at your lips any time you part

So he does both

His hair is usually a little scruffy looking, but something about a kiss like that has him looking particularly disheveled

Shiny pink lips, bruised and angry red from how hard heā€™s pressing into you

Eyebrows pinched together and it almost makes him look angry

His hoodie is probably pulling at his shoulders a bit because somehow you managed to push it down his arms

Presses his thumb against the pulse point beneath your jaw, just to make sure heā€™s not the only one whoā€™s losing it

And he struggles to keep it together when he feels your heart thumping wildly in your throat

Recognizes which direction youā€™re both going and starts switching to chaste pecks

Rests his forehead against yours as you both calm back down

Gets a little teary while looking at you, and huffs a wet laugh too

Heā€™s so happy with you, and doesnā€™t know how he got so lucky

Harvey

Softest fucking kiss youā€™ve ever been given in your entire life

Your noses bump together a little before heā€™s diving in close

Holds you so delicately, because youā€™re so precious to him

Gives you a few test pecks before he actually goes for it, and breathes in heavily through his nose when he does

Itā€™s the kind of kiss that has you pulling on each other to get as close as possible

He holds the back of your neck like Shane, but heā€™s much more gentle about it

Will let you pull away however many times you want, but chases after you every time

His eyes are all hazy and he physically cannot stop looking at your mouth

With one hand on your waist, Harvey will dip his thumb under the hem of your shirt and rub back and forth over your skin

Youā€™ve never seen him as focused as he is when heā€™s kissing you

Doesnā€™t move to take the kiss deeper, and doesnā€™t use tongueā€”but he doesnā€™t need to

Just the insistent press of lips is enough to get his point across

If his glasses get pushed up or clink against your face, heā€™ll pull back to take them off and set them down

The tension is kind of overwhelming

Every time he tries to restrain himself or exhibit self control, it only takes one look at your big eyes blinking at him with a flush on your cheeks and heā€™s getting right back up in your business

Youā€™ve never heard him curse so openly before, but trying to control himself is nearing painful

Dives in, pauses a centimeter away, swears viciously because heā€™s failing miserably at controlling himself, and then heā€™s giving up entirely

Couldnā€™t resist you even if he wanted to

Youā€™ll have to be the one to put an end to it because Harvey cannot

Donā€™t call his name while heā€™s like this though because then he wonā€™t give you a moment to speak again

maybe a weird ask, but what do you think the bachelors/ettes superpowers would be?

Imagining the marriage candidates with some kind of ability was both super fun and also a pain in the ass. I didnā€™t want to go the obvious route with anyone, and I also didnā€™t want to make any of them into an actual superhero, so, under the assumption that they exist in a world where everyone is super-powered in some way or another, I came up with these. I also made sure that they all had some kind of drawback or a ā€œcatchā€ of some kind, so they wouldnā€™t be completely broken powers.

I don't think there are any necessary warnings this time. Enjoy!

Sam

Everyoneā€™s favorite golden retriever boy gets Instrument Manipulation. Itā€™s the kind of power that does exactly what it says on the tin. Sam can manipulate instruments, but unlike Musical Mastery, for example, Sam is only able to use this ability to play on instruments heā€™s already familiar with. We know he can play the guitar and the drums, but he wouldnā€™t be able to use this ability to play the violin, or something. He could probably use it to bash someone up the head with one, though.

Sebastian

Before anyone gets excitedā€”weā€™ve only got room for one sorcerer in Pelican Town, and thatā€™s Rasmodius. With that in mind, Sebastianā€™s superpower is Cyber Presence. The ability to exist within cyberspace, and effectively exist everywhere, all at onceā€”as long as thereā€™s some level of technology in that area. Whether it be a global computer network, radar or security systems, or even satellites, Sebastian would be given the freedom to enter and exist in the cyber world at his own will. However, if any of the devices have a virus of some kind, it will affect his physical form and could potentially harm or otherwise ā€œalterā€ him.

Alex

Youā€™d think heā€™d get something like super strength or super speed, but I think Alex would get the most use out of Enhanced Stamina. Heā€™d be able to practice gridball for hours to days without tiring, and heā€™d have no issues with helping around the farm for as long as he needed to. If you chose to have children in the future, I imagine he could keep up with the kiddos without breaking a sweat either. This wouldnā€™t be an absolute thingā€”he would get tired eventually, but heā€™d last a while. A few days of uninterrupted activity, at most, but he'd never go that long. Granny Evelyn still worries, you know!

Elliott

Literary Travel allows the user to effectively ā€œdimension hopā€ between different works of fiction. Elliott can act as himself in these fictional worlds, but cannot affect the plotline or the outcome of whatever story is being told. He would also only be able to hop into these fictional works while touching the physical medium(books, movie CDs, etc.). Elliott would use this ability in a myriad of ways, but as a man whoā€™s constantly wrapped up in the dramatics and whimsy of life, I think heā€™d use it most often as a form of escapism. Heā€™d have a limit for how much time he could spend in alternate realities, and his escapades would always be dreamlike. It would allow him the freedom to explore those places, but it wouldnā€™t deteriorate his perception of his reality, which I think is important.

Shane

I want him to be able to speak to his chickens, so Shane gets Zoolingualism. He wouldnā€™t be able to speak the language of an animal thatā€™s gone extinct, but he can speak to every other animal with ease as long as meets a member of that species once. Unlike Marnie, who can perfectly replicate and mimic animal sounds and literally speak their language, Shane communicates in a more intangible way. Rather, he speaks to the animal, and the intentions, emotions, and thoughts are injected into the animalā€™s brain. The opposite is also true for him. He comes off as a bit anti-social to the people who meet him, mostly because he spends all of his time in the barn communicating with the animals instead of the humans outside. Chickens are safer.

Harvey

I thought about giving him Flight because Iā€™m an asshole, but eventually I decided against it. Instead, Dial allows Harvey to speed up or slow down an individualā€™s healing by manipulating a patientā€™s cells. Harvey can accelerate the healing process by quite a fair margin, and after so many years of mastery, heā€™s completely abandoned stitches because he can seal any wound closed on his own. Further, if he were setting someoneā€™s fractured limb, their time with a cast would be severely shortened by using his ability. However, he can not immediately cure any or all ailments, and using his ability for long periods of time will give him body aches. He may go too far or push himself a little too hard, and his body has shown the effects of that in recent years. Heā€™s not able to bounce back as quickly as he used to.

Maru

You may have thought that Iā€™d go with something obvious like Absolute Intelligence or whatever, but we all know intelligence isnā€™t Maruā€™s lack, so letā€™s ignore her brains for a moment and shift gears. Interstellar Projection would fit her best. Being able to project herself through the infinite cosmos and visit the trillions of solar systems sheā€™s only ever been able to see fuzzy glimpses of through her telescope would be a dream come true for her. However, because she is a human and could not survive in the vacuum of space without substantial protection, she would only be able to project her consciousness into spaceā€”not her physical form.

Penny

Telekinesis is Pennyā€™s superpower. I think due to her responsibilities and her personal interests, being able to interact with objects without ever laying a finger on them would make a ton of things easier for her. Washing dishes, cleaning her home, cleaning up the library table after teaching the children, and reading would all be far simpler for her. Her emotions would affect it, however, so if she and Pam ever got into a heated argument in the trailer, their belongings might start levitating. She can manipulate inanimate objects, but cannot manipulate living things. She couldnā€™t make Vincent float, for example.

Abigail

I considered Invulnerability and Weapons Mastery for Abigail, but I think both of those would kill her enjoyment of swordsmanship and adventuring. So instead, I think she would get the most use out of Tactical Analysis. With the ability to see the perfect course of action when going head to head with a floor full of powerful monsters, I imagine sheā€™d be one hell of an adventurer, but sheā€™d still have to train her ass off to succeed with the kinds of plans her brain comes up with.

Haley

Charisma isnā€™t something Haley struggles with, but I think itā€™s an ability that fits her best. Being wealthy, popular, and having an ability to charm people would have contributed heavily to her developing a conceited and selfish personality, but after she expands her worldview and loses her superficial tendencies, I think sheā€™d use her ability for good. If youā€™ve seen her heart event after getting married, you know exactly what Iā€™m talking about. However, this abilityā€™s effectiveness wears off the better you know her, and doesnā€™t have any effect on people sheā€™s related to by blood, so it doesnā€™t work on Emily, and it stopped working on Alex a long time ago.

Leah

Leahā€™s ability is Foresight. Being a mix of Wisdom, Future Vision, Fate Sight, and Analytical Precognition, Leah has the ability to see a short distance into the future. Her ability takes the form of visions, lasting anywhere from a few seconds to a minute long. They are usually random, but if she focuses on herself very carefully, she can induce a vision. The ones that she doesnā€™t call forward are far more pressing and require more of her attention. Namely, a few visions in the months leading up to the end of her abusive relationship with Kel(yā€™all know how I feel about them), and even some regarding the Farmerā€™s appearance in the valley. She always has a pretty nasty migraine after a vision though, and needs to hold warm or cold compresses against her eyes to soothe the aching.

Emily

Emily was a toss up between a few powers, but eventually I settled on Omnilingualism. This ability allows the individual to speak all human languages fluently. Emily has a few cutscenes and lines in-game that make it clear that she isnā€™t lacking in the supernatural department, but her most notable characteristic is her immense kindness and empathy. Her desire to help others is admirable, and so I gave her this ability in the hopes that it would make it easier for her to offer aid to a plethora of different people. However, sheā€™d only be able to speak a language after formally meeting a person who spoke it, so she couldnā€™t learn any dead languages.
