i heard a theory that all the glasses found in rivers and ponds are elliotts and he doesn't want anyone to know he wears glasses so every time he sees someone coming towards him he just tosses them in the nearest waterway sdjkghdkgh

the queen of sauce is just gus's drag persona

[@MononymousM]

This. I love this. edit: to elaborate - Gus is one of the least judgemental characters when it comes to others who lead lives that society doesn't understand/looks down upon. He's not mired in what's conventional, or conventially attractive - yet he is the centre of the social and night life of Pelican town, in fact, it literally wouldn't exist if it weren't for Gus. His five heart event is him gifting you a jukebox, and his residence contains the only other jukebox in town, with Gus staying in there all alone all of every single morning - rehearsal time, anyone? I must say though, I firmly believe that Gus' drag persona is (SPOILER) that fabulous secret statue with the pot belly and the big pink bow hidden away in the back - welcome to the stage... Pinky Lemon! 😘

The ones that invented the "X is Sebastian father" theory feel like they haven't even played the game. He says that his father went to Zuzu to follow a more exciting life style because he was going crazy living in the calmness of the village, so definitely no NPC in the village is his father.

[@alienbanana129]

something that always got me curious is the relationship dynamics of linus and the wizard. you see them together (or at least near each other) when you attend spirit’s eve and festival of ice. however, when reading their dialogue scripts, there isn’t any clear signs that they’ve known or met each other in any capacity.

[@turtlesarecool]

Well there's dialogue at the spirit's Eve festival where Linus says "good show, old friend" or something along those lines.

[@Waligug]

[@mothmansboyfriend8021]

I've always thought that the player should be able to run against Lewis in a mayor election cause he's not doing shit for the community. Like go around and build up hearts with the villagers but in competition against Lewis. The player does more for the economy and overall wellbeing of Pelican Town then Lewis ever does. As for the festivals, Gus cooks all the food, I think Emily has dialogue about making the jackolantern decorations, implying that she and other villagers do the decorating, the Wizard designed the maze for Spirit's Eve, Willy has dialogue about helping hide the eggs for the egg festival, implying that it's usually some sort of team effort, and Pierre or the Traveling Cart run the shops. Like the only thing with the festivals that Lewis actually does is announce the start/end times of certain events, judge the garange display, and try to butter up the Govener at the Luau. Look at how nice his house is while directly behind him, Pam and Penny live in a mobile home (which the player and Robin end up fixing). Lewis has done literally nothing but make a statue of himself and gaslight Marnie into believing that their relationship would somehow be a scandal. The player is already the defacto mayor, but I want to run an election campaign lmao

[@Waligug]

would be a hellofalotve work for ca but would be worth

[@mothiikai]

*cough* gold statue scandal *cough*

[@robmitch4085]

That you know of. Is he a good mayor no (gold statue, community center) but it does not mean he does nothing. He fills out the paperwork that allows them to do this stuff. he makes sure everything does happen. Basically he does all the boring stuff and holds his head on the block so they can have these events so you or anyone else does not have to. You can't be mayor because then the game would just become a paperwork simulator. you don't have time to farm or explore or relax anymore. if you try the valley will suffer. You didn't sign form 4476 so now the dance can't happen. No sorry you signed 332 not 334 so you can have the carnival but you are not allowed to set up the games. Oh mm sorry player see you didn't request a building permit to make this shelter so you can't. What a refund of the resources? ohhh sorry can't help you not my job. Oh yes we see you did sign form 227 but you didn't get it to us intil tuesday so we will look over your request for a winter tree as soon as we can. How does the 1st of next month sound?

[@enbeast8350]

​@@robmitch4085 I'm not disagreeing with you, but also I doubt there's that much realism in the game. Like the implied many, many different paperwork. I'm sure some exists, he does tax collect and such. But let's not pretend he's the best mayor and on the up and up. CA's favorite character is Lewis (and Robin). I have a feeling he enjoys making Lewis a mediocre mayor

[@robmitch4085]

@@enbeast8350 But that proves what I am saying. He does the background work. I'm not agients the idea of him being replaced as mayor nor is he good i am only saying you the player can't be the mayor.

[@tomaandkile]

(spoilers) Considering Shane literally threatens to off himself during one of his heart events, I'd say his depression is a little more than implied

[@pegfingers]

[@MrBrezelwurst]

A fun fact about the broken glasses thing. When you gift Evelyn a pair of broken glasses, she thanks you and tells you how she had been looking for them the entire time. So it's pretty much confirmed it's Evelyn who's throwing them away (also, she must be loaded, being able to afford so many glasses)

[@Metro431]

Most of the Sebastian dad theories don’t make sense. Shane being the dad doesn’t make sense because neither he, Robin, Demetrius, or Seb make mentions of each other that imply that Shane has any connection to the family. And personally I think Shane would be too young as a think he’s more late twenties early thirties and Seb is supposed to be college age. Krobus doesn’t make sense because we don’t even know if a human and shadow person couple can even have kids or if they would even look human. and the majority of the villagers don’t know that shadow people actually exist or if they do most shadow people have been hostile to humans anyways. Seb is just a sad boy who has divorced parents, feels detached from his family, and is unsure what to do with his life. It’s really not that far fetched why he tends to like the darker aesthetic.

[@PolishPsycho2704]

y'know what's Immaculate Conception™?

[@ruben.carrenoo]

19:35 “The only boy in Stardew Valley is Vincent” Leo: Aight, imma head out

[@Rikrobat]

The "you ruined your spouse's life" theory is still so strange to me. You mention that the spouse is "ripped away from their family and friends," but like, Sebastian visits his family every Monday and still hangs out with Sam and Abigail on Fridays. How is it any different to the real world where partners live together and visit family/friends on occasion? Maybe I'm just uninformed and other spouses don't leave the farm of their own will.

[@pedrocallegari2719]

I have married most of them and alex visits george and Evelyn,sam and haley visit their families,penny goes shopping and teaches the kids,Emily takes walks aroun town and visits haley,same for sebastian

[@tinablabla]

I think its more about what they aspired to be and what they become. Alex wants to be a famous athlete, Sebastian wants to leave the town for the big city but they both end up as stay-at-home husbands/dads in the end... for the other bachelors I am unsure how you ruin their life. Shane is his own life-ruiner, Penny gets away from her alcoholic mother and for the others I am unsure what they aspire to be but yeah.. It's all up to interpretation. I can imagine some people see the relationship as being one-sided and thus feel like they "force" the spouse into the farm life. But thats just my guess

[@iimuffinsaur]

@@tinablabla sam aspires to be a musician and ends up breaking up the band after marrying him. however his after marriage event has him start composing songs for shows and stuff so he still has his passion in a way just channeled into smth different. alex i watched a video on and i kinda agree with is that hes a good representation on how like sometimes dreams just dont work out? although that storyline is also messed up a bit so idk but i kinda like the idea but maybe thats because my own dreams i have realized arent smth that would work for me and thats okay. these are just my favorite two boys so maybe i have a little bias in them having happy endings

[@Rikrobat]

@@tinablabla - I always pick Sebastian, and a lot of his dialogue reflects how he changes his mind about leaving. He stops seeing the big city as the escape he needs to feel happy. He already works as a freelancing programmer, so I see him as still working on those kinds of projects on the farm, and with the new update, he also starts a frog terrarium to take care of injured frogs around Pelican Town. As for Alex, I thought he admits that most of his “I’m going to be a famous athlete” talk was bragging and he realizes he won’t be able to go pro long before you enter a relationship with him. I would say it’s strange that he gives up on the dream and doesn’t keep trying, but my point is more that he changes his mind before dating the farmer (and I know it’s before because I’ve never dated or married Alex and I see these lines all the time). I do agree with you though that the process of “wooing” your partner is very simple and comes across like brainwashing them into liking you through material things. Definitely a limitation of the gameplay. Though, I always saw it as you growing closer to them also by talking to them as often as possible. It’s a small amount, but you earn friendship by talking with the people of PT every day. And you lose points when you don’t. So if you only give gifts twice a week, that’s five days where your points are slowly going down. Admittedly, it’s a minimal amount, but it’s still an element that exists.

[@Waligug]

Maybe not ripped away from family friends but like they cease all their hopes and dreams like Alex must have a sports star he just stops and becomes a stay at home dad like it's kinda kinda sad

[@huntertuggle2667]

I always liked the idea of Abigail being the wizard's granddaughter and Caroline is his actual daughter.

[@dayzeeznutz3400]

wait no i like that way more

[@MacCentrisSimpleSencilla]

That makes more sense than Abigail's. I personally believe it's Jas... Then again, he may have been busier than most people think and several children in the valley is a possibility.

[@lopsie7479]

Yes, that would explain the tea cutscene

[@salem-01]

I personally think it’s Emily but I do really like that idea. It also explains why they’re kind of both drawn to the tower (Caroline going on walks there as she says in dialogue and Abigail just kinda hangs)

[@elizabethtrudgill3567]

When you marry, your partner doesn't always stay on the farm. Harvey still goes to the clinic, Sebastian goes and sees his mum, Elliott goes for walks around town, he even has a heart even not long after you marry where he leaves for a week. They still do things.

[@sirmoriarty8230]

Shane is WAY too young to be Sebastian's father. Mans would have needed to be like 12-14 when Sebby was made for that to be true.

[@free_playstation_2]

I wish Stardew Valley gets a few more playable areas and expands into the ones we have. The Secret Woods are actually minimal, I would've expected the area to be kinda like the cave in the quarry, but it's just your daily hardwood dispenser; the area where the Flower Dance happens is entirely unplayable outside of the event; the Calico Desert is essentially an area with Sandy's store and the Skull Cavern, among other places which seem like they'd be interesting to explore.

[@Waligug]

I agree, I hink the main issue is just filling the areas with things to do

[@MacCentrisSimpleSencilla]

Agreed...there are mods that extend the gameplay of the game but I don't necessarily like some of them. I want to see Marnie getting what she deserves, possibly by having Marlon marry her. In the flower dance she's so sad...and the stupid mayor won't make their relationship public. That's terrible. 😞 The secret woods should've been bigger I aggree 🥰

[@mushybee8272]

"Shane might have depression" may be the understatement of the century, you literally convince him not to kill himself. Also, I always hate the "youre actually dead" and "it was all a dream" theories personally, theyre too easy, we dont know what happens in death, so, literally anything can be explained as "youre dead," to the point you cant argue that youre alive rn, could all be in the afterlife and theres no way to prove or disprove it. Same with dreams, no logic, so, everything is explained away by it, though, there is like, clocks and computers, and written language, which are all things that tend not to work in dreams, so, theres that. The "its qi's simulation" is good tho, has some effort put in.

[@ralcogaming7674]

To be honest I think it's a little more...screwy than that even. The fact that an obvious computer is called a Dwarven "contraption" there's mutated creatures and the like as well as references to a war and ongoing wars, I think the game may actually be post-post-apocalyptic. Where society had finally rebuilt enough to be considered functional and recognizable but some things were still lost to us. That's really just a guess with minimal information though.

[@melissacrick835]

[@codybrace7438]

The Evelyn and grandpa theory kind of makes sense, because when you first talk to her, she says "You can call me Granny, if you want"

[@nightowlspirit24]

I interpreted that as her basically saying "You're welcome here and I'll treat you as if you're actually my granddaughter/grandson." Not that you're truly genetically her granddaughter/grandson.

The only other characters in the village that like them are the Wizard and Krobus. He also can mention that he sometimes has dreams where he is a Shadow Shaman.

In the Japanese version of the game there is a word for Pierres secret stash which translates into secret money or secret savings.

Could be just japans super strict views on drugs, implying that it was actually supposed to be drugs since they changed if for the Japanese version to begin with.

[@MM-jf1me]

​@@ruverbryh9998Interesting idea! I wonder if "drugs" was clarified to the translator and they were specifically told to change it or if they just assumed it was probably drugs and changed it to money on their own. They probably had to clarify it was a specific something and so chose money to be on the safe side, but I wonder what fan theories Japanese players have created about it.

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

I think I saw this somewhere else first, but it may be my own theory. I'm pretty sure Linus, the wizard, and the guy who runs the adventurer's place use to be a D&D style adventuring party, with Linus being a druid or ranger type.

[@sagethegreat4680]

Linus didn't found joja but still worked for joja. I figured out a way more plausible theory . Pelican town was a mining town . The mines were owned by joja and Linus was the department manager of joja mining . One day a there was a massive disaster in the mines . Paralyzing George, taking one of Marlon's eyes and killing m jasper . Joja found out that it was the dwarves ship crashing into the mines that caused the collapse. A war between the shadow people and dwarves broke out . Joja hired the wizard to clear the mines but all he could do was broker a peace . The mines were too dangerous to mine now so joja pulled out . Linus feeling responsible for the deaths and ruined lives decided to live a life of seclusion. Marlon losing friends decided to protect anyone from going in the mine that wasn't prepared. The wizard also keeping an eye on things . Joja decided to make a store in the now unused company owned building. Then Pelican town slowly started to become a dilapidated version of itself since all the work from the mines dried up. Also i don't think that Abigail and Caroline are biologically connected. I think Abigail is the daughter of the witch and wizard . Caroline said she used to adventure out to the wizard's tower often then stopped. I think the wizard gave her Abigail to hide from the witch to keep her safe because the wizard loves the witch still .it was just because she got corrupted and turned evil .

[@scythescythe884]

so Guinea pigs can have wheels, but they have to be HUGE (think a small dog wheel at least 3 ft maybe 4 in diameter for smaller or dwarfed piggies.) and unless their cage is also huge, it likely wont fit in their enclosure. growing up my piggie had one, but it was big enough that the neighbors teacup Chihuahua could also run on it. the main concern is that it has to be large enough so the animal can run while keeping a straight back. i think if he extended the cage design to be 3 tiles wide with a huge wheel inside, and altered her dialogue to say "guinea pigs" the debate would be over on that part. i just don't think the dev had a whole lot of info on rodent upkeep (hell even most American rodent owners did not have such info till just the 2010s.) so i don't blame him for the enclosure and care. he could also change her wording to "hamster" just as easily. id still upgrade the cage size either way as hamies require a lot of space too...

[@Avsa15]

Why are we all seeing this now

[@donwald3436]

[@amethystnight6175]

So random thought that takes a few of these theories and smushes them together. Spoilers ahead. You die in the office cut scene when you first load up the game, but Pelican Town ISN’T your final destination. It’s a limbo stage where you’re actions and decisions decide where you go. That’s why Grandpa and Qi are watching you, rating you. To decide where your final destination is. The community center and joja could be like the “good and evil”, plus how you interact to the npcs (like buying Pam a house but not telling her) Maybe the cut scene on the mountain top when you reach perfection could be you “ascending to a better place.” All of the issues could be people trapped in their decisions or waiting to move on, not knowing their dead yet either?

Guinea pig owner here!! All the problems people have with Abigail are absolutely correct: there is tons and tons of misinformation about Guinea pigs, causing many people to think that how Abigail has hers set up is perfectly fine.

The Skull Cavern has 2 bottoms. One is on floor 77257 of skull cavern. If you reach this floor you are magically transported to the quarry mine. But you can skip it with a shaft. If you do get past, the bottom is actually floor 2147483527. This is 120 less than the integer limit.

[@surge6231]

That’s really interesting. That could mean the regular mines are technically below the skull cavern (hence the 120 levels) and would explain the exploit where if you placed a staircase at the bottom of the regular mines, it would teleport you to skull cavern (hit integer limit and reset back to 1)

[@jeffreyblack666]

I noticed something the other day to add to Linus. I was exploring sprits eve and found the hat mouse house where joja mart should be. I don't think Linus founded Joja. But maybe his land was bought out from under him. The wizard tried helping Linus by moving linus's home closer to his tower. But Linus was already broken inside by the cruelty he experienced by the hand of Joja so he chooses to be recluse in the mountains. But once a year during spirits eve the wizard does decorations, and transforms the town to a version from the past, where Linus is still part of the community, home intact.
