I've been playing Stardew Valley for years. I have many fond memories associated with this game, the best of which is playing with my sisters during the summer, often with a hint of sunburn after a long day at the beach.
I think, like most people (or at least most cozy gamers), I find myself returning to Stardew whenever I'm in need of comfort. There's something so wholesome and warm about it.
Although I love the convenience of city living, the fantasy of an idyllic small-town life has its merits. Thanks to Concerned Ape, I can live out that dream without ever leaving Tokyo. As famous American philosopher Hannah Montana once said, it truly is the best of both worlds.
I found this profile maker by Aiza Belle and wanted to share my imagined Stardew Valley life.
❀ I'm in a book club with Elliot and Penny. When it's my turn to suggest the book for the month, I always pick something freaky or ergodic, and Penny hates it. To be fair, she usually suggests some Booktok romance that I find maddening, so there's equal suffering. We're ~trauma~ bonding. Elliott and I always get into heated discussions about the underlying meanings and nuances of whatever we're reading. These meetings take place once a month on Thursday evenings at the Saloon.
❀ Every summer morning, I take a dip in the ocean. It's the best thing in the world. Sometimes Haley joins me at the beach, although she doesn't usually swim. Afterwards, we collect shells together.
❀ Saturday nights, Abigail and I play vidya games at her place. Sometimes Sebastian and Sam join us. I love video games, but I'm terrible at them, so I usually lose. We play everything and anything. Tangentially related: I sometimes pop by the Saloon on a Friday night to watch Sam rage-quit Journey of the Prairie King. I'll also play one single game of pool, which I am also terrible at. I'm terrible at a lot of things.
❀ Once a month (sometimes twice if we're lucky), Emily and I make a pilgrimage to Zuzu City to visit the thrift shops. We are knee-deep in the bins with our gloves and masks on, excavating gems. She's taught me how to sew, so sometimes a follow-up hangout will include us upcycling or tailoring some of our thrift finds.
❀ Leah was my first proper friend when I moved to the Valley. She'd invite me over to her little cottage for tea, and we'd stay up all night talking about art, the universe, and our place in it. We often go hiking together.
❀ On warm evenings, Haley and I sit out on the porch together. We talk about the day, our future, our past, and (perhaps most importantly) make each other laugh. Life sounds like this.
As you'll see on my profile, I don't have that many hates. And yes, I don't like chocolate cake. I really don't know why. I like chocolate in general, but something about it in cake form doesn't do it for me.
♡ Loves: Pumpkin pie, Aquamarine, Green tea, Journal scraps (I am nosey lol), Tropical curry
✖ Dislikes: Trash, Slime eggs, Chocolate cake
I crafted this little collage on Shoplook, which is like Polyvore (but worse)!
I love the idea of me stomping around town in my yellow wellies and hibiscus hair clip. I would have the nicest tan.
