BACHELORS’ MUSIC PREFERENCES —STARDEW VALLEY HEADCANONS
SUMMARY: The bachelors’ favorite songs, artists, and genres!
CONTAINS: sfw, nothing worth noting
NOTES: Wrote this instead of a college essay :) Spotify playlist links included! (tap the music notes beside each bachelor’s name)
— ELLIOTT ♪
• Genres: Classical, Indie
• Artists: Hozier, Pearl Jam, Teddy Hyde
• Songs: A Wistful Waltz, Black, Work Song
Elliott might as well have walked straight out of a sappy romance novel. He romanticizes life and that’s partly shown through the music he listens to. He loves poetic, slow songs about passionate love, or one that’s been lost. He likes to have classical music on while he writes/works. Classical piano music is what inspired him to play when he was younger. He loves the sound, the aesthetics, and the movement (plus, it was the easiest instrument for him to learn). He immerses himself in music, imagining himself twirling around his lover as he listens to Hozier, or staring longingly out into the ocean as Black plays. Elliott himself is a passionate man in all regards and the music he listens to only encourages him further.
— HARVEY ♪
• Genres: Oldies, Lofi
• Artists:
• Songs: Can’t Take My Eyes off You, As the World Caves In, Baby I’m Yours
Harvey enjoys calming, upbeat music. Preferably something he can turn on in the background as he works. Maru introduced him to Lofi. Since then, he keeps it playing in the clinic during work hours. He likes the calming mood it sets, as for some of his patients, going to the doctor can be anxiety-inducing. When he’s in a relationship, he loves to turn on the radio and dance with his partner to Frankie Valli or Queen. But if he’s not, he’ll day dream about doing just that, imagining himself deeply in love. Nothing warms his heart more than upbeat love songs!
— SAM ♪
• Genres: (80’s/90’s) Punk, Alternative Rock
• Artists: Misfits, Nirvana, The Cure
• Songs: Rebel Yell, Mrs. Robinson (The Lemonheads version), Astro Zombies
Sam loves everything about punk: the chaos, the rebellion, the energy, and volume. From an early age, he pictured himself on stage above a sea of people that enthusiastically sang along with him. Bands like Nirvana and the Misfits inspired him to pick up the guitar and rock out until his fingers became numb (or his mom complained about the noise). His and Sebastian’s favorite music influence how their band sounds. Therapy to Sam is jamming out to his favorite songs, getting completely lost in the music. When his dad was deployed and his mom became overwhelmed with his little brother, blaring his music was the only thing that could center and energize him enough for the day.
— SEBASTIAN ♪
• Genres: Emo, Post-hardcore
• Artists: Deftones, The Used, My Chemical Romance
• Songs: Dragula, Angelfuck, A Box Full of Sharp Objects
It was a phase until it wasn’t. After Sam introduced him to punk in their early teens, Sebastian found early 2000’s emo music through bands like Thursday, My Chemical Romance, Deftones, Taking Back Sunday, ect. They give him a safe space to feel and sit with his emotions without question or concern. He feels that these bands understand him when no one else does, bringing him rare moments of genuine peace through the constant cloud of angst that surrounds him. He likes to have it on whenever he’s in his room or working on his motorcycle. He could easily listen to the main emo classics hundreds of times over again without it becoming repetitive—which he has. Nothing feels better than drowning out the world (and his family) with blaring, emo music.
— SHANE ♪
• Genres: Metal, Hard Rock
• Artists: Alice In Chains, Korn, Soundgarden
• Songs: A.D.I.D.A.S, Bed of Roses, Closer
Shane has a lot of angsty feelings that are undealt with. Loud, aggressive, and angry music is usually his go-to, as well as some slower songs about heartbreak. He grew up listening to bands like Korn, Metallica, and Black Sabbath. After the deaths of his best friends (Jas’ parents) is when he really started to depend on metal to drown out his sorrows. He felt so angry and mournful but had no way of expressing that. He leaned into the hostile, melancholic sounds Alice In Chains and Soundgarden provided, along with other bands that produced the same. He’s also incredibly horny but you didn’t hear that from me.
— ALEX ♪
• Genres: Hip Hop, Lofi
• Artists: 1nonly, Tyler The Creator, The Neighbourhood
• Songs: The Beach, Only One, Boys Don’t Cry
Alex likes to drown out to music, mainly while he works out (and recently, while he reads). He prefers music he can tune out so he can focus all his energy into his hobbies, and not have to worry about being distracted. He’s constantly listening to music—on runs, in the shower, in his room. He keeps a small speaker turned on in his room almost all day that plays a Lofi station. He found that he can spiral very easily into his worst thoughts if his mind isn’t occupied with external noise.

I wanna play Stardew with people, anyone want to as well? 👉👈
My time zone is EST and I play on PC!
DM me? :3
I’m so out of practice with socializing, just so you know lmao
It's out.
Keep in mind, the mod is still in its beta state so some lines may be bugged or contain typos. If you catch anything, send me a tumblr DM and I’ll fix it in the next update! You can also report it on Nexus.
Upon playing the game, I realized that you often get the same dialogue over and over again within marriage. Thankfully, I have fixed that- with Elliott’s dialogue, at least. Being a poet, Elliott should certainly not be repeating the same phrases as much as he does. This man should be a certified yapper. Now he is, with over 400 lines of marriage dialogue! The dialogue ranges from silly, to insightful, to sweet, to corny as all hell, and to a little spicy. Great for a more immersive experience!
(If this mod's dialogue inspires any fanart please tag me in it I would love seeing it and probably legally pass away)
DILF-dew Valley is gonna kill me :’)
For clarity (because someone seemed confused in the tags): I mean, imaging them as dads is gonna kill me because it’d be so cute and I have a thing for dads. Kent is a DILF tho, I’ll give them that.
Just saw a post with some L takes on the marriageables, like I completely get it’s just a game but also these were kinda harsh for no reason?? 💀

HOLD ON did anyone else not notice the cigarette behind his ear when he works on his bike??
I love detail dawg that’s so cool
Oh my God, Elliott I missed you
Hello my love,
How I've missed you as well. These past fews months have been nothing but loneliness without my favorite farmer beside me. I'm afraid that the dark circles under my puffy cheeks is very noticeable... but I know a night spent with you in my arms will be my only cure.
BACHELORS & THEIR SWEARING HABITS — SDV HEADCANONS
SUMMARY: The bachelors and if they swear, what swears they use, and their opinions on it!
CONTAINS: sfw (?), coarse language, a little sexually suggestive in some parts
NOTES: This is a remake of this old post from my old dead account. I think I have a better understanding of the bachelors than I did when I made that post (because I was still new to SDV). I’m sorry if this isn’t great, I haven’t done this in a while :’) Enjoy!!
— ELLIOTT
• He’s the least likely to swear and you’ll almost never hear him do it
• Unless he’s very passionate about something or feeling very intensely, like if he’s very angry or sad
• I think he was more likely to swear when he was younger but the older he gets, the less he‘s prone to
— When he does swear, it holds that much more weight and meaning compared to someone who swears frequently
— It’s kinda sexy when he does too 👀🤭
— Also funny, depending on the context and situation
— Like I’ve said before, I believe that when he’s drunk, he has a lot less of a filter, making those the most likely times you’ll hear him swear
— “Oh, fuck me—so sorry, darling!” “I’m quite ‘shit-faced’, if you will.”
— He just has a way of always sound polite, despite what he’s saying
— He’s overall not opposed to swearing and he doesn’t mind or care if other people do
— Elliott has a wide vocabulary and therefore, more supplements for swears
— But he also understands that some situations call for swearing and that certain words can’t be replaced
— But that doesn’t mean he believes he’s better than anyone because he doesn’t! Swearing just doesn’t work for him
[ HARVEY ]
— He’s absolutely dropped a few swears while working
— Harvey is a doctor and he understands better than anyone that swearing can be healthy
— Swearing can help cope with pain or deal with situations that someone might otherwise feel they have no control over
— He’s definitely been in stressful situations where mumbling a ‘fuck’ under his breath helps to center him enough to stay focused
— He understands there’s a time and a place, of course, he wouldn’t just drop an f-bomb in middle of your annual check-up lmao
— You’ll likely only hear him swear when he’s angry or stressed, but he will apologize soon after, even if it’s unnecessary
— Or during sexy times 😎 to which he doesn’t apologize
— Other than that, those type of words just don’t seem to frequent his everyday vocabulary
— He also kind of prides himself on being professional and swearing just isn’t
— Like Elliott, Harvey swears so little that when he does, it’s kind of off-putting and holds more significance
— Like if he swears while reprimanding you for passing out in the mines, you’ll be more likely to listen because it’s just that jarring
— It’s not that he feels one way about swearing, he doesn’t even think about it
[ SAM ]
— You might disagree with me but he rarely ever swears
— In a lot of the fics I read, he does and it makes sense to me, him being a 20-something year old guy and all
— But I also think his parents have it so ingrained in his mind that swearing is bad and impolite, like it’s a cardinal sin or something
— They also want him to set a good example for Vincent, which Sam does
— But when he was younger, he’d get Vincent to say swear words and then crack up, only encouraging Vincent more
— Yeah, his parents were not happy lmfao
— Nowadays, he only justifies swearing to himself when he’s singing a song with swears in it
— He feels a little alarmed at how freeing it feels to swear when he sings at first, and he kicks himself for enjoying it
— He’s likely to swear the most when he’s with his friends (Sebastian is not a good influence on him in this regard lmao)
— Sam says the family-friendly versions of swears unironically, like ‘freak’, or ‘shoot’
— He was probably also the type to flip people off in school with his ring finger so that he technically couldn’t get in trouble (I literally did the same)
— He’d probably benefit mentally and emotionally by swearing more often if he didn’t take so much pride in trying to be perfect :(
[ SEBASTIAN ]
— I mean. Let’s be real.
— He’s a moody teenager who hates his family and everything around him (not literally), of course he swears, and frequently too
— Playing a lot of online games with voice chat while he was growing up, he started picking up swear words pretty quickly
— Demetrius corrects him whenever he does, and because I believe Seb likes to piss him off, he intentionally swears in front of him lol
— Robin doesn’t care so much, unless it’s in front of Demetrius then she’s like, “Seb, c’mon.”
— And he just looks at her like “😏”
— Now that I’m thinking of it, he probably learned some swears from her as well
— Like if she was arguing with his dad on the phone or accidentally hurt herself while wood-working
— Despite Robin’s warnings that those are bad words, she couldn’t keep him from repeating her, so she instead told him the ‘time and a place’ rule
— They’re similar in the way that they probably don’t have much of a filter and Sebastian probably influences her more than she realizes lol
— He doesn’t really have a set way of swearing, he just does at any given time
— As a kid, he’d influence Maru to swear and then act all shocked when she did and his parents blamed him lmao
— Sam too, which Jodi was very upset by, considering Seb to be a genuinely bad influence on Sam
— As an adult, he no longer does that anymore and has developed a major soft spot for the way that Sam “swears”
— I think Sam unconsciously influences Seb to be less vulgar with his language
[ ALEX ]
— He actually canonically swears the most of all the bachelors! If you consider ‘damn’ to be one
— Like Jodi, the Mullner’s have taught Alex that swearing is impolite, but not necessarily bad
— I can imagine Evelyn covering her ears when he does and saying something like, “oh, my poor old ears cannot handle such harsh language!”
— He doesn’t have much of a reason to anyway
— He remembers his dad swearing a lot at him as a kid, or when he would yell at his mother so I think those kind of words can trigger bad memories
— He’s very aware of trying to be better than his father and if swearing is something his father did, he doesn’t (at least, not nearly as often)
— He’s careful not to swear in front of his grandparents, which I think is all their really concerned about anyway
— To them, it shows respect, and he respects his grandparents very much!
— I think they let it slide if he’s cheering for a game on the television or if he’s complimenting his granny’s cooking
— “Damn, granny! That’s incredible!” And she just smiles and scolds him half-heartedly
— You’ll probably hear him swear the most in the bedroom 🤭
— Or if he stubs his toe
— Equally arousing, if you ask me
— He sticks to the less harsh swear words like ‘hell’, ‘ass’, ‘damn’, and occasionally ‘shit’
[ SHANE ]
— You know CA wanted to make this man say ‘fuck’
— Swears the most out of the bachelors, regardless of… well, anything
— There’s ZERO filter on this guy
— Unless Jas is around, then he’s mindful of what he says
— Not that he or Marnie are worried about her picking anything up, she’s a good kid and very well-mannered
— If Shane does slip up, she’s the first one to scold him lmao
— He’s glad though, he feels like this means he’s doing well raising her
— He swears when he’s happy, sad, excited, angry…
— Seriously. No filter.
— He probably doesn’t even realize it much either
— I feel like when he and Jas first moved in with Marnie, she was quite strict about him swearing, especially since he’s raising a child
— But overtime, she’s grown accustomed to it, she probably even swears slightly more now because of him
— Jas has helped him to be less crude and he can now catch himself much better before he slips
— “Are you fu-” *Jas stares daggers into him* “freaking kidding me?”
— It is Shane after all, and people have learned to expect it
— When he was new to town, it definitely surprised people
— Pelican Town is small, no one really ever swears and swearing isn’t taken very lightly
— And then this guy just walks in and swears so casually
— It shocked people at first, to say the least
— Overtime, the townsfolk have come to learn that’s just how Shane is and that he’s a good guy once you get to know him!
— All that’s not to say that Shane just throws out swears all day, everyday though
— He is respectful and polite and only swears when it’s mostly appropriate, like around friends or in the comfort of his own home
— He’s just not shy about it :)

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

YOU LOOK TENSE — elliott, drabble
SUMMARY: After a long day of work, it’s nice to be pampered by your husband.
CONTAINS: sfw, fluff, established relationship, gn! reader
It’s been a long day but you can no longer dwell on it as Elliott is immediately by your side and whisking you away to be pampered.
You agree to his suggestion of a bath, lowering yourself in the water, sat between his legs as his hands get to work, messaging you with skill. You ramble on about your day, telling him about the good and the bad and how you’re so grateful he’s at home, ready to pick up the pieces.
You listen as he tells you about his day in his smooth and sweet voice, low in your ear that sends a chill up your spine. But eventually, a comfortable silence takes up the bathroom, only your content sighs and the running of water to be heard. He holds you close, an arm wrapped around your chest and lips pressing gentle kisses to your neck.
You’re draped in a fluffy towel once the water runs cold and Elliott escorts you to the bed. You snuggle up under the covers in your favorite nightwear, waiting for Elliott’s return upon him excusing himself after getting dressed.
As he promised, he’s quickly by your side again with dinner and a drink. And when you're done, he’s relieved to see you happy and relaxed as you finally drift off to sleep with his promise of always tending to you after a hard day’s work.
