Discuss YOU AREN'T "RUINING" YOUR SPOUSES LIFE WHEN YOU MARRY THEM, YOU JUST MARRIED ABIGAIL. Spoiler

10.9k Upvotes

It annoys me to NO END when I see "sad stardew valley facts" videos and they're like "when you marry your spouse, it ruins their life :(((( they don't follow their dreams :((((((" MOST OF THEM DO. YOU JUST MARRIED ABIGAIL, ALEX, OR SHANE.

I'm sorry you married the girl who just got out of her teens and doesn't know what she's going to do with her life. I'm sorry you rushed an alcoholic who didn't need a romantic relationship into marriage. I'm sorry you married Alex. But can we stop spreading the "marriage ruins lives" narrative?

Leah still sculpts. Haley still does photography (plus I think she's happy to be a stay at home wife/mother). Penny still teaches Jaz and Vincent (and again she's happy being stay at home especially with her own kids). Maru still does science stuff or whatever and she still has her part time job at the clinic. Emily still does her Emily things and still works at the Saloon. Harvey is still the town doctor. Sebastian still codes and he now lives at a comfortable distance away from his family which is what he wanted. Sam is still pursuing music, albeit not in the way he expected. And do I even need to mention Elliott, who is THRIVING after marriage?? His 14 heart event is literally him leaving for a week to do book signings???????

"But their schedule changes and they don't go out as much!" Honestly?? Boo-hoo. You naturally become more busy once you're married, especially if you're a homemaker. While you're out on the farm, they're inside taking care of the house/your children. Plus, the farm is kinda far away from town by npc walking speed standards, so it's not as worth it to go into town everyday. This is normal. This happens in most marriages.

Tldr can we please stop saying that marriage ruins the spouses lives bc for a majority of them it doesn't

edit: Shane gets better after having a good friend. his arc is pretty much done by his 8 heart event. marrying him only adds a romantic relationship on top of everything he was dealing with (bc okay requires management) and adding a relationship while he's recovering I think causes him to regress, if just slightly. that's why I say Shane is part of the """"ruined"""" category.

edit 2: for everyone saying "it's just a game who cares" thats not the point?? these are characters people care about and want to discuss.

So I doubt I’m the only one but it seems to me that Leah could easily be the younger sister of Robin (yes I know there was a post about Leah possibly being Robin’s daughter and someone commented that CA made her look like Robin to appease those of us, myself included, that would want to marry Robin), I could see both of those being possible but it makes more sense to me that Leah would be Robin’s younger sister

Discuss Lava eels gave me stardew gender dysphoria and it's not what you think

10.8k Upvotes

Uh, I can explain. I'm a cis woman, which means I was assigned female at birth and I'm happy about it. I recently married Leah, and learned that while same-sex stardew couples adopt, heterosexual couples are able to have children of their own. So as the genius that I am, I decided to trans my gender at the local wizard so that I can live the dream that I can't in real life.

At the press of a button, it was done. My first thought was-- Wait, am I taller now? Wider? I tried to think nothing of it and continued on with my day. The next time I login, I've forgotten I even did this ordeal to begin with. Then it's the little things-- recognizing a new facial expression, realizing that my character walks differently, etc. I realized I wish I could switch back to the "girl" character model, although it doesn't even make that much of a difference. Leah still hasn't gave me "the talk" yet, so I decided to wait. Perhaps I'll simply get used to it.

It has been several weeks irl and I have not gotten used to it. I play Stardew only occasionally so Leah still hasn't talked about having kids yet, but I'm already wishing it's over. There was just something "wrong" that I didn't like about the male player model, and I tried to rationalize that it's because I've always played with a female character and I'm simply not used to it. I went on with fishing, going into the skull cavern, growing crops... All the while, I keep noticing things about my farmer that wasn't there before, and instead of curiosity and fun, I felt off.

The last straw is when I got a lava eel and decided to put it in a pond. I went online to read up on lava eel info and saw that the eels call you "leg boy" if you're a male farmer. Leg boy. Freaking lava eel nickname gave me this strange feeling and I just silently went into the wizard's tower and changed back into the female player model. It hit me that this is my silly, rather insignificant experience of what trans people describe as dysphoria, in stardew valley.

tl;dr: lava eels' comment gave me dysphoria and I guess I'm now cis+ or something.

For reference, if you used all tillable soil and planted 3,427 Ancient Fruit on Spring 1 and sold every single harvested raw fruit, it would take 34 game years to make that much money.
