If we're gonna expand on Marnie I want to be able to hook her up with Marlon. He says she looks beautiful if you talk to him during the Flower Festival. I think he'd treat her right.
Ok speaking of Sebastian/Alex, I need you to know that fic you rec’d in your Sebastian video (A Stain that Won’t Dissolve) has changed my life. I am a changed woman. I’m still a Sambastian stan at heart but holy hell. I didn’t think I could get into Seb/Alex but I binge read that fic like a maniac. So thank you for bringing it to me I’m highkey obsessed with them lol
same!!! i was a little intimidated by the word count at first but now i’m fully caught up and eagerly waiting for more. it’s SO good and has completely shifted my perspective on alex as a character.
LMAO I LOVE how many people replied to this like 'same'. and i get other comments like this too. just a top tier fic like.... i read it over like a week and i just found myself just thinking about it? all the time? then for weeks after? and even now i ration myself until like 5 chapters are out cos every time i catch up it hurts. like the alex characterisation AGHHHHHHHHH its so SAD!!!!! but its so real like just doing all this unappreciated work and letting people think the worst of him and starting to believe it himself. and the dynamic between him and seb of like, seb actually hurt him really bad in return its not just that alex was the bully. NOW im THINKING about it fuck what a good fic
As a fellow Shane girlie I fully accept his ways. I wouldn't mind spills, empty cans laying around or just general chaos in his room. It'sreally not just that Shane's room is messy, but it's about the fact that the muddy footprints in his room and nowhere else means that a) he apparently was able to clean up behind himself all the way through the house and then just gave up once he walked into his lil corner (instead of just taking off his shoes at the entrance and just leaving one puddle at the entrance), or b) we the Farmer keep the house clean and for some reason refuse to wipe the floor in his room which is not a healthy partnership. Or c) there'r no possibility to place down more muddy tracks from the entrance to his room to make it look coherent in vanilla Stardew Valley
thats a good point - personally i think its C, like its meant to just visually represent a messy room instead of making in-universe sense you know? cos even in marnie's house it was the same
Decoration tip! (Because I am not in my Stardew valley very expansive decorating phase right now no sir) You can use grass starters outside of your farm! I like to replace really well trodden paths in town or at the bus stop with stone paths and then shore up the sides with grass starters to hide the edges. If you add that mod that turns grass into wildflowers it’s SUCH a beautiful pop of color! Love your stuff girl, can’t wait to see the Shane Video! ❤
I feel like I've commented this before but I play with the mod Tweaked Shane Portrait. I just love that version of him so much, it's how I imagine him in my head. So much more attractive to me. It would be so fun to see you go through Nexus mods and rate, or just give your thoughts on, other people's interpretation of Shane through the different portraits that are on there.
Your response to my trolley problem question did not disappoint! The question of cosy games as a 'genre' is really interesting to me. It reminds me of the 'adventure' games genre where you know it when you see it.
In the Mr. Qi romance answer I thought you were gonna say "He's looking for someone who matches his freak", which, honestly, incredibly valid. Also this video is a blessing because I was just about to draw art for my game, it's good listening
honestly would be so healing to read a mouthwashing AU fic where jimmy doesnt exist and everything goes fine 😩 i love a problematic man but ....... uhhh...... ummm
FIONA I AM BEGGING FOR YOUR OPINION ON MOUTHWASHING. I LOVE THAT GAME AND I WOULD LOVE IF YOU TALKED ABOUT IT FOR A LITTLE BIT 😤 the characters in that game are so interesting and I am deeply interested in what you would extrapolate about them based on what little we know about them all
I know I commented this on the Leah video, but "Coral Island" has everything you're asking for in terms of diversity and representation; it has more ethnic variety, it has more body types, it has non-binary characters, it has a romanceable divorcee with kids... I fully get how someone such as yourself who's so invested in Stardew might not want to start on such a similar game with a whole different cast of characters, but if you can bring yourself to start another Stardew-esque game, I cannot recommend it enough! If I'm not careful, I'm gonna descend into stereotypical lesbian keyboard-smashing, but if nothing else, I recommend looking at the character-art! Even though the game uses 3D models, when you're in dialogue with a character, everyone has _stunning_ hand-drawn portraits, each with a different outfit for each of the four seasons _and_ a swimsuit outfit. _Everyone_ gets to look good, no matter their age, their body type, their ethnicity, their gender identity or whether they have stretch marks or prosthetic limbs. It's so refreshing to just see such dedication to celebrating everyone!
oh cool ok! i was hesitant about stardew-esque games but ive been playing fields of mistria and been vibing SO hard with it so i will def check out coral island after!
congratulations for hitting 30k! stardew q&a was very amusing and I can't wait for part 2 ❤ I feel like your shane video is going to be longer than an extended editon lotr marathon, it's growing like weeds during the green rain
Fiona! I feel like you will appreciate this, I just bought myself a gorgeous mug and a Krobus plushie from the Stardew merch store. I love having adult money to spend on childish things (they're good quality too, I would recommend).
Maybe hold off on it until after you've finished the video for him, but you NEED to play the Immersive Shane mod - it's worth it just for the plethora of extra marriage dialog alone. East Scarp is also good, it's a lot more low-key than Expanded and Cliffside and you can pick and chose which NPCs to implement instead of getting overwhelmed with dozens of new characters at once. There was a mod for 1.5.6 I loved called Shane the Fashion Enthusiast - it gave him seasonal outfits and a really cute custom portrait. I don't think it's been updated for the current version of the game, though.
27:50 Just wanna share my thoughts on the whole 'cozy game' thing! I cant really talk about stardew and how it fits into the genre since I don't play it a ton, but I feel like a lot of cozy games that label themself as that are never actually good? Companies will see that people are raving over a game that features a cozy lil village with pretty nature and just run with that idea, without thinking that maybe theres more to the games labelled as 'cozy' than just. walking around with peaceful music. Games like this are always so soulless because there's no actual gameplay to them, (excluding the extremely boring farming mechanics of course!!), they're just games that look pretty. Bokumono games (harvest moon/story of seasons + rune factory) are some of my favorites of all time, and though these games are obviously very relaxing, theres still topics that they handle that make them so much more interesting to me. I'm not trying to say that every game needs to have fucked up themes to be good, but with the cozy game genre being so saturated with incredibly boring farming games, playing ones that are able to incorporate dark themes while still feeling 'cozy' is just,, nice. I will say that it is kind of different, majority of bokumono games came out prior to cozy games having that label, but you get what I mean. It brings me so much joy to be able to play a cute farm sim that also features dark topics, like the old women dying, Skye being a hot thief who robs small businesses (we are NOT gonna get into that ability of his rn..), or Sumomo from 3ot having quite possibly the worst life ever (why is that girl always facing trials. Moriya give her a BREAK). There's some dark stuff in these games that I don't think were purposeful, like Allen from a new beginning being a piece of shit, but even then its nice to have some asshole characters in the series. I don't want everyone to be nice When it comes to rune factory, the game has a higher age rating and deals with more mature themes (i mean its a fantasy fighting rpg. its to be expected) but sometimes it feels like theyre just putting these dark topics in the game to be edgy? Its not that the game cant handle dark topics well because i feel like it really can sometimes, for example the conflict (and by conflict i mean invading) happening with sechs and norad, or just lynettes entire character, but a lot of the times its just like "ermm this character has big boobs!! and this character said ass in a conversation!" which isn't the most impactful to me. i cant describe it but rune factory feels like the reddit version of harvest moon sometimes Anyways I dont know why i paused the video 30 minutes in to write an incredibly long comment about harvest moon and rune factory (for nearly an hour aswell..), but I just wanna rave about these games because ive been obsessed with them since I was like 6 years old. I think theres also something to be said about the silliness of cozy games being gone, like being able to marry special characters (ie the goddess herself and that ugly ass kappa), or fighting the bachelorettes in a cave after interacting w/ the dog house at 2am, but this comment is way too long for me to talk abt that in depth. this is just propaganda for everyone reading this to play a bokumono game (especially the wii, ds and 3ds ones) now
Fiona your hair looks so good and youre glowing!!! i just declared myself done with blonde but I think you're meant for it. Anyways thank you for feeding us content i love being a little sam even if i forget to check patreon 😂
aw ty!!! since i filmed this i accidentally made part of my hair purple by leaving my purple shampoo on for too long LOL hopefully it will wash out cos it does not look good
31:55 I think horror is probably the only other genre that fits into this. Because while many people have expectations for what style of gameplay a horror game is supposed to have, the actual atmosphere and execution of the story/style/music/etc is what really makes something terrifying.
It's fun to hear people talk about stardew and their favorite characters because it varies so much! There truly is something for everyone in the game and it's so funny to me because in Fiona's top three faves, at least two are my least favorite. My personal top three are Elliot, Harvey, and Haley, so definitely different types, but it is interesting to see what other people like about different characters!
New subscriber here! Just wanted you to know that over the last few weeks your Stardew playlist has been single handedly keeping this lil' grad student's mental from complete and utter collapse. So thank you for that ✨️🥲✨️ Also, just saw the bit of the video about mods and about you having played SVE. Any chance of a video on them later down the line? Dateable Magnus has been living rent free in my head 😳.
The Mill is what you put in the fence, it can turn wheat into flower and rice into milled rice to cook with. It doesn't really change how much you get from either item in terms of gold in selling though.
Hello Fiona :) Just wanted to tell you that I adore your content. Thanks so much for putting in all the research and script writing time. I always look forward to your uploads! Have a great day :)
So excited I caught such a terrific channel so early! Can't wait to see what else you do, keep up the good work, it's a crime you're not already half way to a million subs with this quality ❤
God I love waking up to a Fiona video That bit where you said your kids names were bink and gaylorde had me full on laughing so hard, thank you 😂 Cant wait to watch more and sporadically comment here and schmatreon
I was in the top 1% of your viewers (by watch time I guess???) according to my little 2024 TH-cam recap thing. Which was like. What do I do with this information? But I think it's nice to mention as like a way to give as smile and a wave on this milestone video. I work from home as a cartoonist and it's been really great having your videos to listen to on the long grinds, and I really appreciate that you bring so much analysis and personality to your deep dives. I can go for a recap as much as the next guy, but it's such a treat to have something more enriching. I've been watching since the Alex video and back then you had maybe 1k followers, and it's been so cool to see how much that jumps with every new entry to the series. Anyway superstar, just wanted to say congrats! Live forever! Thanks for keeping me entertained in the long hours, and godspeed ✌️
yesss! new video! im always super excited to see a notification from your channel:)) so far ive watched the sebastian video twice… not for the character (well, maybe a little) but because of you! your voice is so comforting! thanks so much for making videos, i love to see your perspective on stardew valley (the best game ever) another thing, thank you so much for the demetrius opinion in your maru video!!! ppl hate on him for no reason smh
I love your videos so much, Fiona! You're effortlessly funny and it's great to see someone so passionate about what they speak about. I absolutely devoured your stardew series (watched them as I played the 1.6 update) and I can't wait for the Shane video
AHHHHHHH SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS!!! ❤ I loved your Doctor Who video (along with all your Stardew ones) and I have been so looking forward to your next videos 🫶
Oh, so you played Mouthwashing? What are your thoughts on it? Because personally for me both Stardew and Mouthwashing were 2 games that impacted me on some very deep level and earned a special place in my heart. It's interesting to see the overlap between Stardew and Mouthwashing community, for some reason a lot of people who liked the first also really enjoyed the second, even though they're so drastically different.
As far as recommendations for character expanding mods, I highly recommend Clint Reforged. I know you're not a fan of him, but it not only has stuff after the date with Emily, but changes voice lines (both normal and on holidays) as he starts going to therapy and looking into other possible hobbies. (Also makes him romanceable, but that's, of course, optional for those not interested)
it's funny that you mentioned that seb and shane girlies ain't that different! my faves are seb and shane, and you're def right-they act kinda similar. i guess seb eventually would evolve into shane if the farmer wouldn't show up
I didn't expect the fully justified defense of mayo 😭 I can wholeheartedly admit I have eaten just mayo and genuinely enjoyed it at least a few times, stop the mayo hate ✋️
PLEASE talk about mouthwashing sometime in the future!!! i’m obsessed w it. i’d love to know your take on curly’s morality… is he good or bad? or is it impossible to tell???
I finally named my first cow Mootilda. 😜 When using Stardrop mod handler as long as you open Steam and have it linked there it will still record everything. I do because I'm addicted to Modding and screen grabs.
ooh ummm probably coffee tbh! i have a little cone thing you perch on top of a mug and you put a filter in it and put coffee grounds in and pour the water over, i think you would just call it a pour over haha. it’s so much better than instant coffee!! right now i’ve been trying to have less caffeine cos i’m technically not meant to have any cos of my adhd meds lol so i’ve been mixing decaf and regular so it’s like half caf and i don’t notice a difference tbh. oh and i just have it black!! :)
aw thank u!! oh i love coffee i drink it every day!! at home i use a filter and grounds and just have it black. if im getting it from starbucks or something i usually go for a vanilla latte, sometimes iced, cos like im not paying £3 for a black coffee lmao may as well get fancy with it. also LOVE tea, im a milk 2 sugars girlie, multiple people i know keep sugar in their kitchen specifically cos im the only person they know who has sugar lmao
I used to eat starfruit a lot as a kid. I really like the texture. The flavor is pretty mild though. I'm from Washington State like Eric so I'm not sure if people in other states or countries can find those at the grocery store like we can.

SHANE CONTEST forms.gle/tFdqqeHeKpwpqLWQ6
it's like fiona knew I had a big crochet project to work on and needed a video to watch
Omg same ❤️
crochet senses were tingling
thanks for reminding me that I should work on a wip (its like im allergic to finishing things)
My guess for the length of your shane video: 9 hours 48 minutes and 12 seconds.
I will be SAT for all 9 hours 48 minutes and 12 seconds🧎➡️🙏
9 hours and she has to cut out a lot of content
Decoration tip! You can put stuff in the fish tanks like rocks, seaweed and coral (also lewis' shorts)
omg love that hell yeah
If we're gonna expand on Marnie I want to be able to hook her up with Marlon. He says she looks beautiful if you talk to him during the Flower Festival. I think he'd treat her right.
26:56 the pan over to the cat giving you the BIGGEST side eye is brilliant
Cats are natural comedians :)
Ok speaking of Sebastian/Alex, I need you to know that fic you rec’d in your Sebastian video (A Stain that Won’t Dissolve) has changed my life. I am a changed woman. I’m still a Sambastian stan at heart but holy hell. I didn’t think I could get into Seb/Alex but I binge read that fic like a maniac. So thank you for bringing it to me I’m highkey obsessed with them lol
same!!! i was a little intimidated by the word count at first but now i’m fully caught up and eagerly waiting for more. it’s SO good and has completely shifted my perspective on alex as a character.
@ that’s exactly how I feel!
It got added to my bookmarks once she reccomended it and I am eagerly waiting for each new chapter.
I've read it in 3 days (I was literally reading all day) and now I have to wait 2 weeks for a new chapter :(
LMAO I LOVE how many people replied to this like 'same'. and i get other comments like this too. just a top tier fic like.... i read it over like a week and i just found myself just thinking about it? all the time? then for weeks after? and even now i ration myself until like 5 chapters are out cos every time i catch up it hurts. like the alex characterisation AGHHHHHHHHH its so SAD!!!!! but its so real like just doing all this unappreciated work and letting people think the worst of him and starting to believe it himself. and the dynamic between him and seb of like, seb actually hurt him really bad in return its not just that alex was the bully. NOW im THINKING about it fuck what a good fic
Sebastian and Shane girlies are sisters for life 😂
🤝 we love our problematic blorbos
Gotta say, the cat content in this video is Impeccable.
My girlfriend described "the sun can bend an orange sky" as "Pikachu on a surfboard" and that mental image lives rent-free in my mind forever.
congrats on 30k fiona!! your seb video truly is a masterpiece to me, but i could listen to you talk about anything for 1hr+ and be perfectly content
he's become so numb
@@lilaculots i love my gay emo husband
As a fellow Shane girlie I fully accept his ways. I wouldn't mind spills, empty cans laying around or just general chaos in his room. It'sreally not just that Shane's room is messy, but it's about the fact that the muddy footprints in his room and nowhere else means that a) he apparently was able to clean up behind himself all the way through the house and then just gave up once he walked into his lil corner (instead of just taking off his shoes at the entrance and just leaving one puddle at the entrance), or b) we the Farmer keep the house clean and for some reason refuse to wipe the floor in his room which is not a healthy partnership.
Or c) there'r no possibility to place down more muddy tracks from the entrance to his room to make it look coherent in vanilla Stardew Valley
thats a good point - personally i think its C, like its meant to just visually represent a messy room instead of making in-universe sense you know? cos even in marnie's house it was the same
0:34 the way I am constantly secretly convinced every success in my life is an elaborate prank or effort done out of pity 😂😂😂😂
Decoration tip! (Because I am not in my Stardew valley very expansive decorating phase right now no sir)
You can use grass starters outside of your farm! I like to replace really well trodden paths in town or at the bus stop with stone paths and then shore up the sides with grass starters to hide the edges. If you add that mod that turns grass into wildflowers it’s SUCH a beautiful pop of color!
Love your stuff girl, can’t wait to see the Shane Video! ❤
I feel like I've commented this before but I play with the mod Tweaked Shane Portrait. I just love that version of him so much, it's how I imagine him in my head. So much more attractive to me. It would be so fun to see you go through Nexus mods and rate, or just give your thoughts on, other people's interpretation of Shane through the different portraits that are on there.
i want you to know that the maru video is sheer vindication to me bc i LOVE her and nobody even adknowledges her existence so thank u
Shocked nobody has commented on the "Who hasn't just spooned mayo into their mouth" thing yet bc NO??? I absolutely have NOT and i dont mind mayo 😂
u havent lived
We get it and you dont thats the simple truth 😔
i would say horror is a vibes based category
10:30 oh my gods i am now obsessed with the idea of romancing your mysterious, enigmatic benefactor and puzzlemaster
Fiona! Are you doing a Moffat video??? I NEED the dragging
Your response to my trolley problem question did not disappoint! The question of cosy games as a 'genre' is really interesting to me. It reminds me of the 'adventure' games genre where you know it when you see it.
In the Mr. Qi romance answer I thought you were gonna say "He's looking for someone who matches his freak", which, honestly, incredibly valid.
Also this video is a blessing because I was just about to draw art for my game, it's good listening
30:35 what i'm hearing is that mouthwashing is a cosy game spaceship simulator where nothing bad ever happens (jimmy does not exist)
honestly would be so healing to read a mouthwashing AU fic where jimmy doesnt exist and everything goes fine 😩 i love a problematic man but ....... uhhh...... ummm
after binge watching all your stardew valley videos in 2 days, your voice started narrating my dreams
FIONA I AM BEGGING FOR YOUR OPINION ON MOUTHWASHING. I LOVE THAT GAME AND I WOULD LOVE IF YOU TALKED ABOUT IT FOR A LITTLE BIT 😤 the characters in that game are so interesting and I am deeply interested in what you would extrapolate about them based on what little we know about them all

YOU DESERVE A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS
I love your videos so much. This is the perfect cozy video to watch after teaching second graders all day
The winter songs especially the Wind can be Still is so gorgeous, you're right that they're really special
49:46 starfruit is literally my favorite fruit, my grandma used buy me a bunch of these and they're so juicy and refreshing
congratulations for hitting 30k! stardew q&a was very amusing and I can't wait for part 2 ❤ I feel like your shane video is going to be longer than an extended editon lotr marathon, it's growing like weeds during the green rain
Fiona! I feel like you will appreciate this, I just bought myself a gorgeous mug and a Krobus plushie from the Stardew merch store. I love having adult money to spend on childish things (they're good quality too, I would recommend).
oh NICE i’ve been in the market for stardew merch recently!! i love buying silly little things to make life fun uwu
Congrats on 30k Fiona! So so excited for what is in store for you and your channel :')
Maybe hold off on it until after you've finished the video for him, but you NEED to play the Immersive Shane mod - it's worth it just for the plethora of extra marriage dialog alone.

21:25 THIS ONE IS SO CATCHY I HAVE IT PLAY ON MY JUKEBOX IN MY HOUSE ON STAR DEW ALL THE TIME
My uncle worked at a hospital named Gaylord. They helped him rehab after a stroke, and so when he recovered, he got a job there.
27:50 Just wanna share my thoughts on the whole 'cozy game' thing! I cant really talk about stardew and how it fits into the genre since I don't play it a ton, but I feel like a lot of cozy games that label themself as that are never actually good?

The queen has posted!
That was pleasant as hell! Very nice way of celebrating a milestone (and to get more time on a bigger project)
I love having your videos on in the background while I play stardew, it feels like we’re hanging out :)
It's fun to hear people talk about stardew and their favorite characters because it varies so much!

I always love seeing a new fiona sangster video!
bestie is back! can’t wait to lock in after work ❤
The Mill is what you put in the fence, it can turn wheat into flower and rice into milled rice to cook with. It doesn't really change how much you get from either item in terms of gold in selling though.
Hi Fiona! Gonna watch this while getting ready for work. I hope you’re well! ❤
You were my no 1 TH-camr on my TH-cam wrapped 👀 love you!!!
Just in time for bed 🛌 Your videos are so calming to listen to! ❤
I MISSED YOU OMG! Im going to watch this so fast 😫💜
Marmite is SUCH a darling and I love him
Your videos got me back into stardew, thank you. I needed the game right now you know?
I love this channel so much. I’ve re watched every video so many times. Fiona I need you to post more!
you dont know how much i needed a long video from you. im so excited to watch 🫶💕
babe wake up, new fiona video!
I usually don't watch q&as but your voice is so soothing and melodic I'm sat for the full thing!!
Hello Fiona :) Just wanted to tell you that I adore your content. Thanks so much for putting in all the research and script writing time. I always look forward to your uploads! Have a great day :)
9:18 THERE I AM GARY THERE I AM
(congrats on 30K, listening to your videos always helps me feel at ease 💚 here’s to another 70K more🎉)
So excited I caught such a terrific channel so early! Can't wait to see what else you do, keep up the good work, it's a crime you're not already half way to a million subs with this quality ❤
God I love waking up to a Fiona video
That bit where you said your kids names were bink and gaylorde had me full on laughing so hard, thank you 😂

I've been watching since the Alex video and back then you had maybe 1k followers, and it's been so cool to see how much that jumps with every new entry to the series. Anyway superstar, just wanted to say congrats! Live forever! Thanks for keeping me entertained in the long hours, and godspeed ✌️
honestly i agree with the mr qi one, lot of fanarts of him are very smash
yesss! new video! im always super excited to see a notification from your channel:)) so far ive watched the sebastian video twice… not for the character (well, maybe a little) but because of you! your voice is so comforting! thanks so much for making videos, i love to see your perspective on stardew valley (the best game ever)
another thing, thank you so much for the demetrius opinion in your maru video!!! ppl hate on him for no reason smh
Happy with a 5-6 hour Shane video!
I love your videos so much, Fiona! You're effortlessly funny and it's great to see someone so passionate about what they speak about. I absolutely devoured your stardew series (watched them as I played the 1.6 update) and I can't wait for the Shane video
FIONA IS BACKKKKKKK !!
the perfect thing to watch while i finished my first ever knitting project!!
You can connect the stardrop mod manager to your steam account!!! Love this vids 💛💙
thank you for another wonderful video :) it really lights up my day
AHHHHHHH SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS!!! ❤ I loved your Doctor Who video (along with all your Stardew ones) and I have been so looking forward to your next videos 🫶
i would love to see you do videos on the romanceable characters from mods like ridgeside and stardew expanded!!
18:12 OMG THATS ME I FEEL SO HONURED
Oh, so you played Mouthwashing? What are your thoughts on it?
Because personally for me both Stardew and Mouthwashing were 2 games that impacted me on some very deep level and earned a special place in my heart. It's interesting to see the overlap between Stardew and Mouthwashing community, for some reason a lot of people who liked the first also really enjoyed the second, even though they're so drastically different.
the liss the lass shoutout yess
commenting to say the cow outfit is really cute!
gosh i am having kind of a hard time right now and your videos are helping me so much'''thank you
Idk why but you somehow give off "cozy cool weird grandmother" energy girl 😂
obsessed with that thank u. my brother in law recently said i was dressed like an art teacher and it was such a compliment
15:35 it’s the mill queen
As far as recommendations for character expanding mods, I highly recommend Clint Reforged. I know you're not a fan of him, but it not only has stuff after the date with Emily, but changes voice lines (both normal and on holidays) as he starts going to therapy and looking into other possible hobbies. (Also makes him romanceable, but that's, of course, optional for those not interested)
it's funny that you mentioned that seb and shane girlies ain't that different! my faves are seb and shane, and you're def right-they act kinda similar. i guess seb eventually would evolve into shane if the farmer wouldn't show up
I didn't expect the fully justified defense of mayo 😭 I can wholeheartedly admit I have eaten just mayo and genuinely enjoyed it at least a few times, stop the mayo hate ✋️
Words can not describe how much i'm looking forward to watching a 6-12 hour video of Fiona being objectively correct.
PLEASE talk about mouthwashing sometime in the future!!! i’m obsessed w it. i’d love to know your take on curly’s morality… is he good or bad? or is it impossible to tell???
I finally named my first cow Mootilda. 😜 When using Stardrop mod handler as long as you open Steam and have it linked there it will still record everything. I do because I'm addicted to Modding and screen grabs.
Als eevry video you put out I think its the Shane one 😭😔 Im waiting for that oneeeee, i hope it comes out soon
I never read fanfiction until you suggested A Stain that Won't Dissolve. I'm gonna need you to drop your other favs you've mentioned before ;; 😂
fuck yeah! so the other one ive recommended is called Things We Don't Mean, its the fic that got me into alex/sebastian, GOD tier
if you really think about it horror is also a vibe-based genre
WE LAURV U FIONA
ok but i unironically need a 24 hours shane vid
I hadn't realized we could ask questions till this video.. Is it too late to ask what your favorite drink is and how you make it?
ooh ummm probably coffee tbh! i have a little cone thing you perch on top of a mug and you put a filter in it and put coffee grounds in and pour the water over, i think you would just call it a pour over haha. it’s so much better than instant coffee!! right now i’ve been trying to have less caffeine cos i’m technically not meant to have any cos of my adhd meds lol so i’ve been mixing decaf and regular so it’s like half caf and i don’t notice a difference tbh. oh and i just have it black!! :)
Bnf is brutal lol. Love the vids
I absolutely love cows too!!! Love the outfit ❤
Awww sad! I missed the community post because I only look at TH-cam here and there so I didn't get to ask a question.
aw thank u!! oh i love coffee i drink it every day!! at home i use a filter and grounds and just have it black. if im getting it from starbucks or something i usually go for a vanilla latte, sometimes iced, cos like im not paying £3 for a black coffee lmao may as well get fancy with it. also LOVE tea, im a milk 2 sugars girlie, multiple people i know keep sugar in their kitchen specifically cos im the only person they know who has sugar lmao
Ever since i saw interview with a vampire Elliott has started to give me Lestat vibes and that honestly makes me like him more 😔
I used to eat starfruit a lot as a kid. I really like the texture. The flavor is pretty mild though. I'm from Washington State like Eric so I'm not sure if people in other states or countries can find those at the grocery store like we can.
You should try Fields of Mistria! It’s so much fun. Or try Coral island they have a character who’s divorced in that one, and mermaids!
i have played 40 hours of fields of mistria in the last 4 days and that is facts. so fuckin good jesus
@ I know! I love March!
I have stardew extended and I have the skull cavern elevator! It’s so necessary!
Look ma I’m on the screen! Thank you for addressing my question about cosy games :3
