- In Stardew Valley, the gifts we can give to the villagers have a lot of value and meaning. So why is the treasure chest, a universally liked item, disliked by Linus? In today's Stardew Valley lore and theory video, we'll be discussing the lore behind the treasure chest and Linus' dark secret.

Thanks for watching! What's your favorite Stardew Valley theory?
I can't decide, there's very good ones
tbh this one is just awesome
I have a contradiction about your jas is the wizards daughter because it said that Shane was friends of jas's parents and there are no hints to Shane even knowing who the wizard is
@@MuffinPuffin-n6h yeah, Shane doesn't know the wizard. He was friends with his best friends who he thought were the parents of Jas
(I love your theorys)
I have such a soft spot for Linus because of one incredibly specific situation in my childhood, where my neighbors decided to allow a homeless veteran to camp out in front of their apartment.
It became sort of a ritual for my brother and I to bring leftover food from the cafeteria to him after school. And in return, he’d tell us stories about the army or his living arrangement as an unhoused person.
Eventually the landlord caught on and he was asked to leave, and I lost touch with him after that. I doubt he’s alive now, but I never forgot him.
I've already heard of Linus corporate life before living on the valley but holy moly Linus being a pirate before makes so much sense
is that your kitten in your pfp? :')
@@sodorart ohh that pic is pretty old, from 2018 when I had her, she passed early this year. her name was Paçoca
I never thought if this theory before, it does make sense to me, Linus is very knowledgeable about many things and the way he speaks and acts does show a lot of humility, patience and a sense of respect and integration with nature, instead of taking from it, as if he's learned a lesson during his own journeys throughout the world. I'll always love Linus, he's always the first resident I become friends with and I'm not even gonna elaborate on his dilf effect (can't help myself hehehehe). Loved the video!
You can't say that and immediately change the subject with "love the video" LMFAO 💀
Dude... 😭
DUDE EVEN I'M NOT THAT RANDOM😂
This is awesome, I dig it.
What if.....we all know Linus hangs out in the mines to revive us (steal our open cans of soup we keep in our pockets). He hangs out in dangerous places, could be he has more ties to the adventurers guild and protection of the valley which might also mean pirate hunter if needed. One day he had enough fighting, found some leaves and made himself some camo lulu lemon leggings and dropped off the grid.
LULU LEMON LEGGINGS LOLOLOL
huhhhh, I wouldn't have expected Linus to dislike the Pirate egg since he does 'speak' in the same squawks during the Leo cutscene where he offers to help mentor him should he move to Pellican Town. It does seem like there might be a pattern to his dislikes there.
I wonder if it is because the parrot gives gold or because it might be seen as weird especially since he is raising Leo in Pelican Town
I still have the take that Linus was involved with M. Jaspar and Mona, and that the three mimic the story given through the dnd session Sebastian hosts. I watched a video on this a while back and it stuck with me. Linus disliking the chest, which can be surmised as loot adventurers obtain through places like the mines, makes sense because he could see that chest and remember Mona's trivial death because of them seeking treasure (chest filled with loot) and his feeling of responsibility in her death. The pirate theory is also very interesting and solid
EDIT: And I hope its the pirate theory that's cannon, because the adventurer theory is deeply depressing and I don't want Linus to suffer bearing the weight of regret
it could also be, that he was a captain for a cooperation, but pirates took it over.
The theory that Linus might've worked at Joja mart is kinda interesting.
It instantly makes me think of petticoat junction. It's a show from the sixties, I think more people would be familiar with the spin off Green Acres.
The only instance I can think of seeing petticoat junction referenced is an episode of that 70's show where they're obviously watching it based on the dialogue.
But that's not the point, the point is the entire show is based around this old train called the cannon ball. It's very important to this small community and it's a huge source of local pride.
But then the railroad company that owns it sorta remember it exists and decide to shut it down because it's not bringing in enough money. So the CEO sends a man out to see this happens. They foil his scheme and he's sent packing.
Eventually the CEO decides to go take care of it himself but decides to go undercover as a hobo.
Only it turns out he messed up, he doesn't have any money with him, and without money he doesn't have any way to contact the office. So he ends up effectively being an actual hobo while he's there.
And kate, she's like the main character, takes him in, treats him to small town hospitality in its purest form and he falls in love with the place. He loves the town, loves the people, and most importantly loves the cannon ball.
He was like instantly one of my favorite reoccurring characters.
There's also like a really cute romance between him and Kate. Nothing really seems to come of it though. But dang if I don't ship it.
A backstory similar to that for Linus could be really interesting. Maybe he was an upper level manager at Joja Mart and at some point he broke under the pressure and retreated into nature wanting to live a simpler life.
I'll have to admit though, the pirate theory sounds more fun.
That tv show sounds lovely!!
I actually really like the idea of Linus being an ex-Joja Mart employee, maybe even a big shot like upper management, like you said, because it'd really make the overencompassing threat of Joja Mart that more significant, and he'd be yet another character in Pelican Town that's so strongly affected by Joja Mart and their exploitation.
@@sodorart it is, after I commented I looked it up here on TH-cam because I was fixin' to listen to the theme song. Turns out there's a big playlist with all the episodes. Colorized too, I've only ever seen it in black and white. So I'm rewatching it :3
It definitely would expand on Joja marts influence. I wonder if they're going to make another appearance in haunted chocolatier. Maybe as a rival seller.
The commentary on big business is such an interesting aspect of the wider world building. I'd love to see concerned ape expand on it even more in the next game.
I was going to joke that Linus is actually Captain Barbosa when you read his line about money being cursed but actually I buy the theory that he used to be a pirate it makes a lot of sense
Maybe that's why he can speak parot... wonder if he knows birdie?
I caught an iridium carp right before my first luau and thought “fish is good in a stew and it’s my highest quality item, surely they’ll like it” they did not, in fact, like it
@@damiondraws8538 LOL
Interesting theory, and I'm also curious about: Linus and Leo. Leo was in a shipwreck and he floated to Ginger Island and lived with the birds right? So I wonder if Linus knew anything about that shipwreck and then felt the need to help Leo to move to Pelican Town and help him to get settled in? So what if that shipwreck, Linus was the witness of and decided to give up the pirate life cus he didn't think it was worth the risk of people dying?
Other one of Linus' dialogue, something about there's so much to life and that we got to see it for ourselves, so it definitely implies all of the weirdness in Stardew Valley like Ginger Island, the monsters in the mine, the pirates in the cove in Ginger Island (Linus's former crew perhaps??) so Linus definitely have encountered all kind of dangers and Ferngill looks like a very small state and there's so much sea around those islands so definitely likely he travelled by ship. I love this theory, great job, I love Linus, one of my favourites. I always make an effort to befriends Linus, Shane and Gus! Love Gus cus he take care of Linus too after Linus' 2 hearts event.
@@girlytomboyx awesome insight, I think it would be so cool if there was more of a connection between Linus and Ginger Island's shipwreck!
now it all makes much more sense for him to take Leo under his wing (should i say adopt him?) than any other villagers in town
but wait, i just remembered the pirate's wife quest and... did Linus know or even friends with Birdie's late husband as well? we don't know about the details but it is a possibility
There's no reference to Linus knowing Birdie or her husband at all, we don't even get to show Linus the photograph of the husband, no dialogue there :/
@@sodorart i do think of a concept where we can give Birdie gifts and at certain heart event she'll hint something regarding Linus as an old friend or some sort, or maybe Linus visiting the Ginger Island himself and had a deja vu seeing her there
but eh, no, i could only daydream i ain't ConcernedApe
There's a videos on Dangerously Funny's channel about Linus and one of his heart events. I don't remember if it's one that's in the game or from a mod, but there he talks about how he inherited a lot of money from his parents and he decided to end up living in the wilderness
Your theory on Linus is really interesting & I think could be mixed in with another theory I liked that I found in someone else's video. The idea also has to do with something I mentioned in your video defending Pierre.
I don't remember everything but the idea is that Linus was an adventurer that went on adventures with the wizard(given Linus hangs out with the wizard or near his place during certain festivals & calls him old friend) & the mysterious M. Jasper which is why he's fine with living in the wild savaging for food/supplies. The idea also implies M. Jasper's first name is Mona whose name is on one of the town's grave stones(Our beloved Mona) with the idea that she was an adventure that died in the mines which might partly be why Pierre is worried about Abigail being an adventurer.(Though admittedly it's also like you said he's a worried parent & why is she in the grave yard late at night?) I forget if this was from the video but it was likely my own add on but Mona Jasper's death & the fact the wizard & Linus were close with her likely made past townsfolk hesitant to be around Linus.(Why he admits not many people like him when the current townsfolk seem to not mind him very much even if they find him weird)
With your idea of Linus being an ex-pirate captain I kind of imagine a theory that he was a pirate adventurer that ended up friends with the wizard & M Jasper/Mona when he ended up in Stardew Valley. He possibly went on adventures with the two & something happened that led to Mona dying, that incident or another one led to him possibly retiring from his pirate life as well as choosing to stay in the valley for a long time.(Since he makes a comment in the video that he might leave to travel again at some point)
Wow, I love this so much!!!
linus hidden dialog: "the one piece is real"
@@niconico-tan gomu gomu no gatling wild bait 😔
I really enjoy your videos, but this theory is the most compelling by far! I just thought that he is a random dude who just abandoned the ‘civilised’ living norm to live his life lol The evidence makes a lot of sense to Linus’ character and this will be a new head canon in my brain!
Thank you so much !!
Im new to your channel but ive been loving your videos & ive been binge watching them all week & I was so happy just now opening youtube and seeing you posted
@@sidneywashington7108 thank you so much!! Glad you're enjoying it!
hmmm, or maybe he was a pirate Hunter. as in one of those sent by the leaders to hunt down pirates.
they would have the same trajectory in globe trotting as a pirate does but have a more negative view of the things connected to them... such As the hat, the treasure and so forth.
honestly? if we didn't have the widow saying for sure her pirate husband was dead, i'd wonder about Linus being him. maybe he was the reason for his passing though?
oooh, maybe he was but it was personal... like the widow was his first love and she was seduced away from Linus by some bounder! so he went out of his way to chase her husband down n sink'im for what he took away from him. but then he felt bad because the poor woman spent the rest of her days searching for the pirate and Still didn't turn to him.
wouldn't it be cool if some how we could get him n the widow together just to see if they could at least be friends?
or at least, have him go with Marnie. i'm so sick of lewis taking advantage of her as a midnight booty call. seriously. that girl needs to wake up n smell the coffee. dude's hiding their "relationship" because he doesn't want people to know. like, dude, we already Know. stop bein' a creeper n either be open or Stop using her to scratch an itch. she got a kid to raise. she don' need so jerk jerkin' her around! gah, i Hate him almost as much as i do morris n pierre. why the so called leaders here gotta be so scrub?!
the "adult" males be questionable n the young males gotta be workin' their way to Bein' questionable.
meanwhile, those of us who'd rather either hang out with the fisherman or the librarian are stuck with pickin' the Non-human, Krobus, if we want something worth setting up house with.
Apologies, it's peeve of mine. ^^;;
I hope this theory is true! That would be awesome! I already love Linus and I love seeing more lore potential for him.
We have to manifest it hard enough
This is so interesting!! Really gives such a cool twist on Linus as a character!! 🙊🙊
@@rainbowtie18 ty!!
Linus is best girl
Ive never made it far enough to meet leo are the two related? they sort of have similar outfits
@@LilDollFangs Leo's parentage is unknown, but you can eventually have Leo move to Pelican Town and he lives next to Linus and calls him "Uncle Linus"
And i sold it ...
Now that's an interesting theory :D
@@LazishMoon ty!
Wow this was awesome
@@Madi-l2s ty!!
wooowww
@@GlenCocoon 🥰
Watched this on TV the day it dropped and forgot to come comment, sorry! Cool theory! I didn't see it coming. Plausible! I always just think Linus is a hippie who hung out with the wizard and dropped acid when they were younger 🤣🤣
Pirate probably makes more sense. ☠️🦜
