#stardew lore

Cool question! I think a lot of the magic I communicate through Sai’s spirituality. While the wizard approaches magic academically, Sai and their Family (Father, Grandfather, etc) believe and give deference to the Juminos and They channel the magic through their respect for nature and nature spirits.

In my head, for the community center, Sai isn’t just doing a collectathon, but offering the fruits of their labor like a shrine to the parts where they feel and see the junimos presence. As the Junimos fix up the community center, the townsfolk assume it’s Sai fixing it up and begin to help out. Sai keeps their secret tho.

You start out thinking that this is probably just set on earth, seemingly the west coast of the US judging by what grows there. Then the mines are opened up to you and you notice there are monsters dwelling within. Slowly but surely you find weird pieces of information. The lady that shows up on a cart pulled by a pig gets her goods from somewhere called the Gotoro Empire, stuff from the museum seems to hint at ancient races, and there are adorable apple shaped nature spirits haunting the community centre that you can only talk to after drinking something weird from a wizard.

Ok so first, my character is male and I headcannon Elliott as a trans man

In my first save I married Elliott and really liked him but I got bored of that save because back then I didn’t know about the array of things there is to do in Stardew, so I deleted it lmao

I really wish I hadn’t deleted it so I can go back and look at my farm and island farm💀💀

But anyways I’m this save I married Alex Winter 1st year two but leading up to that I built hearts with both Alex and Elliott but focused on Alex more so by the time we were married, I’d still be gifting Elliott and this would make Alex suspicious lmao

I never got that dialogue of Alex being jealous though since Elliott was never around anybody💀💀

I really loved being married to Alex too so it made me really sad to lower my hearts with him so I wouldn’t divorce him while we were at full hearts

So, I’m my head now that Elliott and I started dating a month after I divorced Alex, he’s gonna be all “what does he have that I don’t” towards Elliott and me, they’re gonna get into a fight (aka Alex is gonna fight Elliott while he🧍)

My farmer is gonna break it up then Alex gets mad at me and Elliott is still🧍 because he knows my farmer and Alex divorced obviously and he thought my farmer didn’t have anymore feelings for Alex but now he’s starting to see that isn’t true

So after that our hearts will go down and I’ll erase Alex’s memory (I’m gonna do it a year and some after we’ve been divorced to give him time to be upset lmao) and build my hearts back up with Alex

So then after Alex and I are friends and he’s forgiven me all on his own, I’ll build my hearts back up with Elliott and he’ll be alright again, realizing I wouldn’t leave him for Alex blah blah blah

Then after like 2/3 years of dating Elliott I’ll marry him on Summer 1st in like Year 6/7 I think and Alex will be along with the rest on the town there, full happy for them and stuff.
