It may be a little late to mention, but there is a request from Sebastian in the board on Pierre's store where he asks for an item saying that he feels like throwing something at the mountain to get rid of his frustration, and since he stays out until very late and we have no way of knowing what happens the rest of the night and at dawn, it is possible that at some point he has thrown the object and it ended up falling into Linus' tent. So probably the person responsible for the "attacks" is Sebastian but he doesn't even know what's going on, he just throws things out of frustration without even imagining that they fall into Linus's tent.
What if it's the witch!? Since you can see her flying not only over your farm but over the mountains (before you are asked to get the tailsman for the wizard). The reason I say her is because the wizard mentions she purposely causes havoc.
This doesnt make much sense. Yes, she's malicious, but I doubt she'd resort to rocks. If she wanted to torment linus, he could just make his tent disappear entirely, or something
@@snipuhh__enthusiast2736 Not really. Her tricks and actions are not actual letal at most. The 'disappearing' would be too extreme. This is like saying that she should disappear with our coop instead of making a egg go dark.
@@ianesgrecia8568 you're thinking too small Yes, she is usually just mischievious and may pose a mild inconvenience, but we've seen the extent of magic in Stardew. She clearly has some powers she doesnt show because she doesnt have to prove it Im just talking hypothetically
I do think it was probably sebastian only because he was throwing green beans at the mountain and later he asks the player if they've ever done something they regret. So i think he feels bad about it.
I never concidered the dwarf. I always felt it was some random people and not anyone from Pelican Town. Like some teenagers from Grampleton or Zuzu city camping in the mountains.
I like your theory! It seems like something the dwarf would do! Although I kinda thought it was Sebastian, but he wasn’t doing it intentionally. He asks for green beans to throw at the side of the mountain, so I think it’s just Sebastian’s angsty green beans hitting Linus’s tent. Sebastian probably doesn’t even realize!
@@OtakuDeju I don’t think he’s trying to hit Linus’s tent! He’s just throwing beans at the mountain and not realizing where they’re landing 😅 an accidental beaning, if you will.
Wait…hear me out: Let’s assume that before throwing veggies at the side of the cliff, Sebastian used to throw rocks. Let’s assume he accidentally hit Linus’ tent once or twice and felt horrible about it…instead of stopping the practice, what if he switched to something more harmless, like a green bean or a potato? It’s a bit of a crack theory, but idk
There's a theory that Linus is Pam's ex and Penny's father, it was mentioned that Penny's dad left because he was feeling "stuck". Perhaps Pam gets drunk late at night and throw rocks at his tent? or Penny?
Out of every character in stardew penny is least likely to throw rocks at someone, she's literally most angelic character, pam on other hand I can see her doing it just for the giggles
Penny's father is completely abscent while Linus is in reach. Wouldn't make sense that the thought of her father upsets her if they still had to do with each other.
@@Vince-hp1qz afaik, there are no interactions between Linus and Penny, It's possible she doesn't recognize him because of the big white beard and hair
I figure it is Lewis, he's out late at night to pick up your shipping bin stuff, he is the mayor of the town and might look down on having a homeless person around. He definitely has his dark side
People hate him cause he misused town funds and let the community center get run down My evidence for this is the secret note that leads to the solid gold lewis and how he reacts if you leave it in the middle of town@@schleichimlebenschleichimb6718
Wizard, Linus, Farmer’s Grandpa, and Marlon (and Gil) were once Adventure pals. Linus became homeless as a choice, because the outside reminds him of the adventures he had. So yes it could be the dwarves as Krobus’s people and Dwarves were once at war about who gets to live in this area, etc etc. (I might miss some points but I remember during Wizard’s heart cut-scene for that). Dwarves used to dislike humans for mining the underground which are their homes.
Interesting, but if you tell Linus not to rummage through trash cans because it's illegal and private property. Linus says that he doesn't believe in 'Private Property'. I feel like the Dwarf and Linus would get along, though it's understandable that the Dwarf would have those worries.
Yes but hear me out: It's not like they really interact Considering the fact that linus probably keeps his distance from the dwarf as well, that could really only add to their worries
someone's trashcan isn't private property, that's considered personal property. linus believes in personal property, but not private property, which is land owned by corporations to extract profit
@@agitwap6413 I don't think Linus clarifies that distinction at all. As the player says "hey don't do that it's private property" and linus says "literally don't care. it's free food and it's going to waste otherwise" also that cool distinction between private and personal doesn't matter to the dwarf either. dudes gonna steal your lawn flamingo regardless.
i thought based on your thumbnail it was gonna be pierre and my brain went "yes, this checks out" immediately without second thought. guy has a tendency to put his nose where it doesnt belong, has plans of becoming a mayor in the future(i forget if this is a headcanon or if its something he implies in luau year 2 dialogue) and would want "trash" cleaned out of town. though it would also be hilarious if it was pierre. like a grown ass man walking up to the mountains just to throw some rocks at a tent in the middle of the night after a whole day's worth of working. love how i can blame everything bad happening in pelican town on freaking pierre🤭
I think I prefer your theory more than mine, but I could also see it as sebastian throwing rocks without _realising_ that linus is _right_ up there? he likes to throw stuff like beans at the mountains near the railroad so I could see him doing that while intoxicated without sort of realising.
Ooh! I never thought about your "boring" theory, but that makes a lot of sense! My thought was it was mischievous teenagers that came by train that made a stop at the train station. Didn't think of the time of night or how they would even know Linus was there, unless they stumbled across his tent while exploring. I like how your videos makes me think of things I normally take for granted! ^_^
1:20 I'd doubt it, he's been living in that tent for who knows how long. I feel like he'd be able to tell the difference between a rock falling off the cliff, and one being thrown. If I were to guess, the rocks were forcefully impacting the side of the tent in a way that wouldn't be possible if the rock had simply fallen.
You didn't mention or clear the near by adventures guild, but I don't think of them to be likely culprits. Morris is also relatively near by and after a long night of counting his profits, I can see him choosing to unwind by throwing rocks at the less fortunate.
@@wargrunt42 Marlon sponsored this video and told me not to snitch on him ☹ I think Morris could hire henchmen to do his dirty work for him, for sure. Get Linus out of the area to make the area look "better" for business
expansion on your theory: Linus *is* a spy sent by the shadow people! we know that linus and the wizard are close, and we know that krobus and the wizard are at least acquaintances. not to mention the popular theory that the hat mouse's place used to belong to linus, placing him near the sewer. all this to say Linus and Krobus almost certainly know each other, and given what we know about both of them they would likely get along great. this would also explain what linus is doing in the mines in the first place, because while there are forageables in the mines, that's a lot of effort for some cave carrots. it would make more sense that he's in there *looking* for the dwarf
I always thought it was Sebastian for a lot of the reasons said, and because of his bulletin board quest (the one where he asks you to get him peppers to throw at the mountain), but I like the idea that it’s the dwarf more.
Awesome video, I love these theories so much. The dwarf definitely makes sense. The only other person I would think it could be is alex, just because of his trek to the sauna every so often. But then again hes never really up late. He also may be arrogant, but I dont think he would do that either.
Personally my first thought was Abigail. She’s show to be pretty rebellious by Stardew Valley standards and can sometimes show that rebelliousness in some less-than-kind ways given her somewhat strained relationship with her parents, plus, being raised by someone with an ego like Pierre’s I could see her looking down on Linus, thinking that his lack of wealth or material possessions somehow makes him lesser. Plus we know she travels up to the mountains from time to time since she can be found player her flute up by the lake on occasion, and given her constant desire for adventure, I could easily see her making the hike late in the evening Now just for clarity’s sake I don’t think she’s malicious or comes up there just to harass Linus, more likely she just wanders up the mountain every now and again, and the days she might be the one throwing rocks could just be days she’s in a particularly bad mood and trying to blow off steam, albeit in a less-than-healthy way.
While boring, the "no one is throwing rocks, they are just falling on Linus' tent" theory makes a lot of sense. We know the mountainside is a bit unstable after Joja had their mining operation that caused not only one, but two rockslides; one blocking the path to the mines and the Adventurers' Guild building, and one blocking the way to the spa and the train tracks.
Nice theory I never even thought about that possibility!! I lowkey feel like it’s Lewis trying to urge him out of town since he doesn’t bring in extra tax revenue for his gold statues and whatever else he wastes the towns money on. Not to mention Lewis has been caught sneaking around late at night (if you know you know). Dunno if he’d treck up the mountain but he’s definitely been out late and I wouldn’t put it past him to be petty like that😅
I don't know how long he's lived there, but if it's been more than a month, he probably knows the difference between rocks falling and being thrown. If they were falling down the mountain, he'd have heard them hitting and bouncing off things before hitting the tent.
honestly? i always figured it was either like your falling rocks theory or Alex. he seems like one of those jock types that would think that sort of behavior was funny. i mean, one of his throw away dialogs is where he's being an a-hole about Sebastion being "weird". he Also goes up to the spa to work out on the regular so he's in the area. just my two cents on it.
@@kstormgeistgem461 he also has a weird line where he goes "my shoes got a weird brown smudge on it (obviously dirt) so I just threw them away. If I donate them, some weirdo could wear it." 😐😐😐😐 like, I feel like that was a weird passive aggressive comment towards Linus
I don’t know if it was a mod, but I’ve had a dialogue where Sebastian mentions about spray painting Linus’s tent and Linus telling the farmer that some joker spray painted his tent😭
I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THIS! I love your theory, I can't imagine anyone in Pelican Town harming Linus.... except Lewis(if I really need to choose someone), it's a bit of a stretch but something about a wild man living in a tent may bother him since he cares about his reputation/the town reputation so much
i always assumed it was alex bc he goes to the bathhouse up in the mountains, has the rude jock persona, and probably dislikes linus’ lifestyle (like it reminds him of his dad)
I think it was the mayor. He's the only one with enough motivation and spite to do it (and this sort of thing is unfortunately quite common in real life).
I love your theory! It makes so much sense! I always thought it would be Abigail because of her first line when you first meat her. "It's kind of a shame, really. I always enjoyed exploring those overgrown fields." I think she would be able to go up to the mountains. She also seems like she would do that in my opinion! Your theory makes way more sense tho:)))
Also Sebastian lives up there so she could go up there to see him late at night and maybe do some stuff that y know what I’m implying and sometimes they go to throws rocks or green beans like the quest you get on the bulliten board
Honestly didnt pay much attention to who would be the ones throwing rocks. The locals dont make sense. As you said Sebastian is outspoken. Gus is friendly with Linus etc. When I saw the title my first idea was Morris. Maybe he passed by the mountain and saw the "wild man" as trouble or not fitting what plans with the towns he has. A sort of "unknown factor" as Linus does not spend money, does not regularly enters towns and maybe Morris also spotted him rummaging through the stores trash. But honestly the dwarf also makes perfect sense. Maybe to the dwarf Linus is also weird as he does not act like the other humans. He is "weird" compared to them and far too close to his shop. And as you said the dwarf probably just wants to scare him away. Move his tent. Maybe as a personal headcanon. Linus is a sort of druid. Maybe the dwarf senses some form of nature magic in him that he doesnt like or feels save about.
@@sodorart Like we know Linus and the wizard are friends. Linus can walk in the mines and either deal with the monsters or avoid them through ways. Linus has a deeper knowledge on the valley. So while his magic may not be powerful he may have some. Enough at least to get some reaction from the dwarf.
Sebby is definitely enough of an asshole to do this. He has pranked the Luau potluck before, and seems to enjoy pulling pranks. He would have little to no reason to tell the farmer he does this, so he probably never would, and after you've befriended him, I doubt it's something he'd disclose openly. He's not really a bad person, so he's probably guilty about it if he does it.
Makes sense. I love this folklore version of dwarves that stardew portrays. But even the Tolkein versions have the exact same love of mining, and respect for the craft. There is no version of a dwarf that doesn't give you mad respect for swinging a pickaxe well.
Ngl its a really good theory but i also feel like demetrius does that at night aswell and we just dont see it, hes a def the kind of person to be bothered by linus’s presence
Something I realized after playing through part of the intro for The War Within. It actually turns out that the nerubians invading Dalaran and Dalaran being destroyed. Is actually the players fault. One of the quests you pick up before the city is teleported is a quest where Drenden tells you that he's worried about the wards and asks you to strengthen them using a wand he gives you.Drenden turns out to be Xalatath in disguise. Once you look at this information you realize that you were not strengthening the wards,you were weakening them. This twist made me feel both excited and depressed. Excited because a twist like this hasn't really been put into the game before now and depressed because you realize that all the people who end up dying because of the weakened wards is all your fault.......
I always thought it was the Joja workers we never see. Think about it, they do put you back in your bed if they find you blacked out, out side. Why are they on your land at night??? & they charge you 1000 for bringing you to the Dr. to.
I know you ruled out Gus but even then I don't think it'd be Gus since he has a scene that shows he doesn't mind Linus & is willing to let him have some food
what if it was one of the towns young adults who did it when they were teens. but when they became adults they realized how inmature it was. or a better idea... morris just goes out of his way to activley spite linus
My guess is Dimitris as a suspect as if you get close to maru he threatens you for interfering with her education..... I was like wth when it first played out as I had already married her brother by this time so it caught me off guard
Naaa you're wrong. It's either Morris. Cause anybody working hard for JoJa is automatically evil. Or it is Pierre. And thats the bottom line! Cause I said so!
I wouldn't totally rule out Sebastian though, I could see him smoke a joint and do it as a prank... And there is Marlon and the witch too who live in the vicinity, I am not sure why either of them would have a motivation to do so but we can't rule them out. The witch can be a bit mean and Linus is buddy with her ex husband but I think she would use magic to screw with him instead of just throwing rocks. If it was closer to town, Shane would have been the most likely culprit but he is usually way to drunk to stumble up in the mountains on his way home. Or heck, maybe it is Lewis sneaking out and doing it to get rid of the person not paying tax. He is rather mean even if he acts friendly and I suspect Jas is his and Marnie's kid. I admit the Dwarf still is the likeliest culprit but that doesn't mean he is guilty. I don't think it is just rocks falling down the mountain.
writing this before watching so it doesn't skew my opinion. irl im passionate abt support for the unhoused so i was LIVID when i got the rock throwing dialogue and it's never left my mind in my 1000 hours in the game; i think it could be shane bc ik how some alcoholics get when they drink, but more likely pam (also while drunk) bc she's jealous that he's content w his life in a tent when she resents that she lives in a trailer, or lewis as a scheme to get linus to move into a house and start paying taxes lol. finished the video and i think sebastian is an interesting and likely theory! considering he's CA's self insert i don't think he /really/ did it but that's just bc i don't think CA really intended for any of the townies to be the culprit, so it's just as valid as any other headcannon imo
Linus used to be a millionaire who donated everything to charity and decided to live out hia days in a leaf toga. Pierre is the one throwing rocks cause he doesn't want Linus in the trash at his business.
Did you consider the witch in this he is a friend of the wizard and since she's the wizards x wife it's possible the wizard dose state that she goes around cursing everyone or something like that its posible shes taking out her anger on the wizards old friend
I have an ex fiancé named Sebastian that tried to murder me, so I'm quick to believe it was Stardew Seb throwing the rocks. They're eerily similar and I'm happy to blame him 😂
Why does this make so much sense? And I want it to be Canon so bad and I just want Linus to like mine every once in awhile. Sorry the giraffe will trust him Typos
This makes sense but what about the rock that block access to the dwarf Linus will still say rocks were thrown at his tent however I doubt the dwarf is able to move to rock maybe he can I'm not sure
Dwarf wasn't the culprit, he only took stuff without permission abby, Sam and Sebastian are suspect because vandalism on the train There a low chance it be Lewis becouse linus didn't pay tax Clint with handful of rock.. Maybe
Yeah he seems like a guy that would do that. The problem is would he really go to the mountains at night just to throw rocks instead of trying to make more money
@@flamefists911 Would be quite funny if he wanted to give Linus 50% off coupons but he was too scared to, his solution was attaching them to rocks and chucking them near Linus tent. Maybe he accidentally hit the tent a few times cause he's sucks at throwing, spending most of his time in an office.
@sodorart Simply put the reason why you can't rule out Abigail is because of a few things. You went ahead and you said that is not a small distance in between the village and the upper area for in-game mechanics we skip over the distance but there is actually some distance between the two right and that was your reason for ruling out Abigail. During rainy days Abigail can be seen playing her flute over by the trees. she wants to become an adventurer and after you marry her you will see her in the minds on rainy days. another one of her heart scenes has her playing out late at night in the graveyard so she's not above venturing out late at night or even sneaking out. And given her protective nature she's not always open to strangers and she might see it as protecting her friends do you drive away squatters she might even be seeing it as protecting her friends.
I think its mayor Lewis like hear me out he’s the mayor and he is pretty selfish and just annoying i think mayor Lewis trows rocks at Linus tent because the fact that Linus doesn’t pay for a house or for food he just looks trough trash and lives like a wild man and doesn’t pay nothing making mayor Lewis earn less money and I think mayor Lewis is mean like that

So thank you for clearing his name 😊
Also, Sebastian is really hard to please - at least to me he is.

Oooh I'll have to do a video on this because I have an idea!
well shit, the dwarf admits to being a theif so that make sense.
Oh I always blamed the person that found me as the one who steals my items 😂😂
I always thought it was Linus himself and he tried to cover it up. I don’t mind anyway, he can take it if he wants, poor guy deserves it

I lowkey feel like it’s Lewis trying to urge him out of town since he doesn’t bring in extra tax revenue for his gold statues and whatever else he wastes the towns money on. Not to mention Lewis has been caught sneaking around late at night (if you know you know). Dunno if he’d treck up the mountain but he’s definitely been out late and I wouldn’t put it past him to be petty like that😅
@@queenie3443 that old man ain't getting up the mountain LMFAOOOO
I don't know how long he's lived there, but if it's been more than a month, he probably knows the difference between rocks falling and being thrown.
If they were falling down the mountain, he'd have heard them hitting and bouncing off things before hitting the tent.
honestly? i always figured it was either like your falling rocks theory or Alex. he seems like one of those jock types that would think that sort of behavior was funny. i mean, one of his throw away dialogs is where he's being an a-hole about Sebastion being "weird". he Also goes up to the spa to work out on the regular so he's in the area.
just my two cents on it.
@@kstormgeistgem461 he also has a weird line where he goes "my shoes got a weird brown smudge on it (obviously dirt) so I just threw them away. If I donate them, some weirdo could wear it." 😐😐😐😐 like, I feel like that was a weird passive aggressive comment towards Linus
I think it's the Green Witch that was Razmodius' wife. She's mischevous to do it and her home is pretty close, too.
Ooh interesting!
I don’t know if it was a mod, but I’ve had a dialogue where Sebastian mentions about spray painting Linus’s tent and Linus telling the farmer that some joker spray painted his tent😭
İ was expect you to say its Sebastian but this teory is much more logical.
Seb is too introverted to do that
I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THIS! I love your theory, I can't imagine anyone in Pelican Town harming Linus.... except Lewis(if I really need to choose someone), it's a bit of a stretch but something about a wild man living in a tent may bother him since he cares about his reputation/the town reputation so much
i always assumed it was alex bc he goes to the bathhouse up in the mountains, has the rude jock persona, and probably dislikes linus’ lifestyle (like it reminds him of his dad)
@@pitpat2928 soul eater pfp SPOTTED 🗣❗
I think it was the mayor. He's the only one with enough motivation and spite to do it (and this sort of thing is unfortunately quite common in real life).
Oh, that is actually really good, I've never thought about the Dwarf doing it but it does make sense.
I love your theory! It makes so much sense! I always thought it would be Abigail because of her first line when you first meat her. "It's kind of a shame, really. I always enjoyed exploring those overgrown fields." I think she would be able to go up to the mountains. She also seems like she would do that in my opinion! Your theory makes way more sense tho:)))
Also Sebastian lives up there so she could go up there to see him late at night and maybe do some stuff that y know what I’m implying and sometimes they go to throws rocks or green beans like the quest you get on the bulliten board
Yeeees! I've been wondering about this and so far haven't really seen anyone address it. I love this theory, it makes so much sense! ^.^
Ty!!
Lets get our swords out to help our friend
Prob Sebastian throws rocks while smoking but not realizing it hits Linus's tent
Honestly didnt pay much attention to who would be the ones throwing rocks. The locals dont make sense. As you said Sebastian is outspoken. Gus is friendly with Linus etc. When I saw the title my first idea was Morris. Maybe he passed by the mountain and saw the "wild man" as trouble or not fitting what plans with the towns he has. A sort of "unknown factor" as Linus does not spend money, does not regularly enters towns and maybe Morris also spotted him rummaging through the stores trash.
But honestly the dwarf also makes perfect sense. Maybe to the dwarf Linus is also weird as he does not act like the other humans. He is "weird" compared to them and far too close to his shop. And as you said the dwarf probably just wants to scare him away. Move his tent.
Maybe as a personal headcanon. Linus is a sort of druid. Maybe the dwarf senses some form of nature magic in him that he doesnt like or feels save about.
Oh that's interesting, especially with the Elemental Wars being such a huge thing to the dwarf !
@@sodorart Like we know Linus and the wizard are friends. Linus can walk in the mines and either deal with the monsters or avoid them through ways. Linus has a deeper knowledge on the valley. So while his magic may not be powerful he may have some. Enough at least to get some reaction from the dwarf.
I was ready to send back Sebastian to the basement if it was him
Sebby is definitely enough of an asshole to do this. He has pranked the Luau potluck before, and seems to enjoy pulling pranks. He would have little to no reason to tell the farmer he does this, so he probably never would, and after you've befriended him, I doubt it's something he'd disclose openly. He's not really a bad person, so he's probably guilty about it if he does it.
He also told me just the other day that someone spray painted his tent?! And it took him hours to clean. So sad
Literally, why is he being harassed!!
@@sodorart it's heartbreaking! I'm nearing perfection and want everyone to be happy 🥲
Makes sense. I love this folklore version of dwarves that stardew portrays. But even the Tolkein versions have the exact same love of mining, and respect for the craft. There is no version of a dwarf that doesn't give you mad respect for swinging a pickaxe well.
Now all we need to do is convince ConcernedApe to give us the illustrious 1.7 update... adding hobbits
I always thought it was Alex, just because he seems like the type to bully those weaker than him and he's often at the gym in the mountains.
Ngl its a really good theory but i also feel like demetrius does that at night aswell and we just dont see it, hes a def the kind of person to be bothered by linus’s presence
It would be funny if it turned out to be any of the characters we least expect it from😂 Like Good Penny ( it's just a joke, nothing personal)😂
We all know it's that dirty snake Pierre. He probably used to hide his stash out in the woods until Linus found it and now he has to hide it at home
@@Thepotato24 pwommy?
Something I realized after playing through part of the intro for The War Within. It actually turns out that the nerubians invading Dalaran and Dalaran being destroyed. Is actually the players fault. One of the quests you pick up before the city is teleported is a quest where Drenden tells you that he's worried about the wards and asks you to strengthen them using a wand he gives you.Drenden turns out to be Xalatath in disguise. Once you look at this information you realize that you were not strengthening the wards,you were weakening them. This twist made me feel both excited and depressed. Excited because a twist like this hasn't really been put into the game before now and depressed because you realize that all the people who end up dying because of the weakened wards is all your fault.......
What in tarnation
No mention of Abigail who goes to the mines and eats amethyst
@@EnergyBrink yeah she's eating the rocks, not throwing them LOL
I always thought it was the Joja workers we never see. Think about it, they do put you back in your bed if they find you blacked out, out side. Why are they on your land at night??? & they charge you 1000 for bringing you to the Dr. to.
I know you ruled out Gus but even then I don't think it'd be Gus since he has a scene that shows he doesn't mind Linus & is willing to let him have some food
I always assumed it was the JoJa people being mean about non-consumerist and non-capitalist people.
Yes!!! That’s exactly what I was thinking! Your theory is almost exactly like mine!?😂
Maybe he doesn't like that Linus goes through people's trash at night? stealing his loot he's be able to sell so to say?
I guessed Dwarf from the start
Mining skills? I usually just use a bomb to meet the dwarf. Poor Linus someone has even destroyed his tent before as well.
Aww Linus deserves better :(
What about the witch or her assistant? Also, could it be stuff from the nearby tree?
That's a good point, could definitely be falling acorns! Maybe there's a rambunctious squirrel :O
I always thought it was the dwarf, they seem like they would throw rocks at random stuff
This is a great theory! I always thought it was someone like same or alex, but this makes a lot of sense
Tysm!!!
what if it was one of the towns young adults who did it when they were teens. but when they became adults they realized how inmature it was.
or a better idea...
morris just goes out of his way to activley spite linus
Do you have any theories on who mugs us except Joja and Harvey, of course?
I honestly think it's also the dwarf LOL
My guess is Dimitris as a suspect as if you get close to maru he threatens you for interfering with her education..... I was like wth when it first played out as I had already married her brother by this time so it caught me off guard
I've played few farming games there's always be one hermit or hobo
Naaa you're wrong. It's either Morris. Cause anybody working hard for JoJa is automatically evil. Or it is Pierre. And thats the bottom line! Cause I said so!
I wouldn't totally rule out Sebastian though, I could see him smoke a joint and do it as a prank... And there is Marlon and the witch too who live in the vicinity, I am not sure why either of them would have a motivation to do so but we can't rule them out. The witch can be a bit mean and Linus is buddy with her ex husband but I think she would use magic to screw with him instead of just throwing rocks.
If it was closer to town, Shane would have been the most likely culprit but he is usually way to drunk to stumble up in the mountains on his way home.
Or heck, maybe it is Lewis sneaking out and doing it to get rid of the person not paying tax. He is rather mean even if he acts friendly and I suspect Jas is his and Marnie's kid.
I admit the Dwarf still is the likeliest culprit but that doesn't mean he is guilty. I don't think it is just rocks falling down the mountain.
i always think it's alex!! he trains up there and always hangs by the bathhouse. in my head alex learned some not great values from george
When i first played stardew valley expanded i was surprised that Krobus and Marlon were friends.
That's a really good theory
@@luckystar9279 thank you!!
@@sodorart you're welcome, keep up the good work!
@@luckystar9279 🥰🥰🥰
Me: (having considered both the dwarf and Linus as my favorite characters) if that is true (looks at dwarf) it better not be
I have to confess im the typ of farmer who might put out linuses fire during the winter season.
@@Brachiale oh
Each time you say rocks you posted a photo of clay😂
I ate all the rocks in the game and had to use clay dot png instead
If I could I would build a cabin for him 😭🙏
SAME!
writing this before watching so it doesn't skew my opinion. irl im passionate abt support for the unhoused so i was LIVID when i got the rock throwing dialogue and it's never left my mind in my 1000 hours in the game; i think it could be shane bc ik how some alcoholics get when they drink, but more likely pam (also while drunk) bc she's jealous that he's content w his life in a tent when she resents that she lives in a trailer, or lewis as a scheme to get linus to move into a house and start paying taxes lol.
finished the video and i think sebastian is an interesting and likely theory! considering he's CA's self insert i don't think he /really/ did it but that's just bc i don't think CA really intended for any of the townies to be the culprit, so it's just as valid as any other headcannon imo
Wait he’s CA’s self insert?
Also, Linus is frinds with Krobus, if the dawrf ever saw Linus hang out with him he would have reason in his mind to make Linus go away
I just assumed it was Morris from Joja. For no other reason than he’s a jerk
Linus used to be a millionaire who donated everything to charity and decided to live out hia days in a leaf toga.
Pierre is the one throwing rocks cause he doesn't want Linus in the trash at his business.
Did you consider the witch in this he is a friend of the wizard and since she's the wizards x wife it's possible the wizard dose state that she goes around cursing everyone or something like that its posible shes taking out her anger on the wizards old friend
I have an ex fiancé named Sebastian that tried to murder me, so I'm quick to believe it was Stardew Seb throwing the rocks. They're eerily similar and I'm happy to blame him 😂
Why does this make so much sense? And I want it to be Canon so bad and I just want Linus to like mine every once in awhile. Sorry the giraffe will trust him
Typos
I love every one of your vids
Thank you!
Its etheir lewis or morris
This makes sense but what about the rock that block access to the dwarf Linus will still say rocks were thrown at his tent however I doubt the dwarf is able to move to rock maybe he can I'm not sure
i think its abigail because she sometimes goes to the mountains and also bc i hate her
@@leslie7200 oh
I think Sebastian gets h!gh and throws rocks
Dwarf wasn't the culprit, he only took stuff without permission
abby, Sam and Sebastian are suspect because vandalism on the train
There a low chance it be Lewis becouse linus didn't pay tax
Clint with handful of rock.. Maybe
I imagined it was the kids but yeah the time would be weird for that
I always thought it was morris.
Yeah he seems like a guy that would do that. The problem is would he really go to the mountains at night just to throw rocks instead of trying to make more money
@@flamefists911 Would be quite funny if he wanted to give Linus 50% off coupons but he was too scared to, his solution was attaching them to rocks and chucking them near Linus tent. Maybe he accidentally hit the tent a few times cause he's sucks at throwing, spending most of his time in an office.
@@SvengelskaBlondieExtra Moris actually caring but still messed it up
Ngl i think its alex , cuz he goes up the mountains
Problem be for you can break the rocks to get to the dwarf Linus says that
there is 1 last npc that you cant rull out because of the mins Abagil.
How do you mean?
@sodorart
Simply put the reason why you can't rule out Abigail is because of a few things.
You went ahead and you said that is not a small distance in between the village and the upper area for
in-game mechanics we skip over the distance but there is actually some distance between the two right and that was your reason for ruling out Abigail.
During rainy days Abigail can be seen playing her flute over by the trees.
she wants to become an adventurer and after you marry her you will see her in the minds on rainy days. another one of her heart scenes has her playing out late at night in the graveyard so she's not above venturing out late at night or even sneaking out. And given her protective nature she's not always open to strangers and she might see it as protecting her friends do you drive away squatters she might even be seeing it as protecting her friends.
My guess was Pierre
How come? :O
I think its mayor Lewis like hear me out he’s the mayor and he is pretty selfish and just annoying i think mayor Lewis trows rocks at Linus tent because the fact that Linus doesn’t pay for a house or for food he just looks trough trash and lives like a wild man and doesn’t pay nothing making mayor Lewis earn less money and I think mayor Lewis is mean like that
Big Foot throws rocks at linus tent.
It’s peirre he doesn’t like that Linus doesn’t buy anything plus peirre
I definitely think it's Robin
@@ZacharyAaronHere She likes Linus!
Lewis
