Character Analysis: Clint (Stardew Valley)
Who is Clint?
Clint occupies a quieter place in Stardew Valley than the original marriage candidates or the more outwardly charming townspeople, but he still has a very clear role in Pelican Town; he's the blacksmith, he lives in his shop, he works long hours, and his life has narrowed around routine, labour, and a fairly lonely social world. One of his lines says he's only a blacksmith because his father pushed him into it, which immediately gives him more shape than Awkward Guy With Crush - he's someone who stayed in the life laid out for him, even after it stopped feeling like a life he chose.
He's built around stagnation - Clint isn't dramatic, magnetic, or especially self-creating, he's a man whose days are repetitive, whose confidence is poor, and whose emotional life keeps getting routed into hesitation instead of action. The game uses him to show a kind of adult disappointment that's much less dramatic than Shane's collapse or Sebastian's alienation. Clint's sadness is ordinary; he works, goes to the saloon, worries, says very little, and seems to expect that life will mostly keep happening to him in the same shape forever.
me hearing about new marriage options for next stardew update: it's probably going to be wizard and sandy because these are the most popular choices, it's easy and obvious. but if concernedape's got real guts he will make it clint. I wanna see him do it. I wanna see him unflanderize this character who started out as kinda normal and turned into a weird outdated joke and make him actually appealing as a romance option. but he's not going to it'll be wizard and sandy.
concernedape, apparently hearing me, somehow, from across the universe, and wanting to prove me wrong:
anyway since clint discourse is all the range right now and i have actually been brewing these specific thoughts for months now, i'm going to throw my hat in the ring. my hot take is that i do think he has issues specifically around his perception of emily and women in general as well as relationships, but that still does not make him an incel or a creep or a stalker or anything like that.
cause i do think his crush on emily is fairly shallow and mostly just comes down to her being nice to him and him kind of pedestaling her, like he doesn't really know her as a person or really try to get to know her, its really seems to me the case of being more in love with the idea of her than really her. he's very deep in his own head and his own loneliness and insecurities, while she's both unconditionally nice and friendly and immune to his awkwardness, so obviously that's like catnip for him. and he doesn't try to offer her something more substantial besides gifts and niceness as opposed to, again, actually showing interest in her and getting to know her as a person, thinks it's only his awkwardness that is the issue as opposed to just the problem in his fundamental approach to relationships.
and the thing is a lot of this can be the foundation to incel-y nice guy behavior, but like.... it doesn't automatically have to be that. i feel like thats pretty normal actually and mostly just comes from a certain immaturity about relationships. and just, looking at the actual facts of his in game dialogue and scenes, in clint's case, there's really no indication that it's the case. he's literally never ever expressed the sentiment that emily owes him a relationship because he's nice to her, or that her friendship isn't worthwhile, he has never blamed her or gotten angry at her for not returning his attempts at advances, and imo even if he does't really try to get to know her as a person, he also never did or said anything to objectify her or treat her as a prize to be won. the only thing that comes close is emily saying he's been avoiding her if you start dating her, but there's also no indication that's a permanent state of events, he doesn't blame her or express any sentiment to the vein of 'i cant believe she didnt go out with me after i've been so nice to her' if it happens, it honestly might as well just be like, a case of 'my crush didnt work out and i'm sad and i can't bring myself to be around them for a bit'. which, yknow, happens with people who aren't creepy incels too, happens to a lot of people who just don't know how to communicate. like i get it, a lot of this stuff is red flags, a lot of guys who are misogynists who think women owe them relationships start out from this point, but again, it doesn't have to be that.
anyway i have never felt in any very strong way about him, positive or negative, mostly his character just made me sad because it seemed like he doesn't really have any options for a happier ending and just seemed fated to get stuck in this eternal limbo of being the awkward insecure guy who will never get his crush resolved, so it really felt like he deserved some kinda story update to give him at least a chance at that. and, again, if he's going to be a marriage option then that kinda forces you as a writer to unflatten and unflanderize him and take the whole thing as well as his character seriously. so for real i am really looking forward to seeing what eric's cooked up because i genuinely thought this is just where he's going to leave it for as long as the game is around, i really didn't think he would go against the grain here and take on that challenge and i am all for it.
and also seeing the clint enjoyers come out of the woodwork celebrating has just been making me very happy, you guys deserve it. it's like a 'im not one of them but i believe in their beliefs' situations, it's just so nice to see you getting your flowers so to speak.
I want to sit on Clint’s face. Am I allowed to say this.

CLINT APPRECIATION DRABBLE FOR THE GIRLS (gender neutral)
~~*~~*~~
It's a little hard to not just.. Stare...
Y'know, seeing a beefcake of a man swing a hammer overhead to crack down on the tough outer shell of an omni-geode - The sleeves of Clint's sweater rolled to his elbows, hugging around the swell of his biceps, showing off the thick length of his forearms. And his hands? Thick fingers caked in dust and the soft sparkle of leftover minerals, gripping hard at the handle of a tool, nearly splintering the material, all to ever so carefully rub his thumb over an emerald that emerges from the geode.
Gentle, tentative, a little shaky as he hands you the gem, blue eyes framed by the furnace light, the sweat on his brow shining like the jewel he had just handed over, panting, his chest rising and falling with huge breaths. A gentle giant with enough strength to whack a crack into the mine wall with a picaxe.
Or how about the cozy nights at the saloon, seeing him perched up with Willy, idling chatting, a little animated with his hands. Clint sits with his legs spread, thick thighs even thicker pressed agaisnt the stool cushion, his sweater hugging around his shoulders, those hands of his effortlessly wrapping around the width of a pint glass before he takes a swig. Beer gulps down with each bob of his throat, Adam's apple peeking through the softness and the beard.
Speaking of, he comes out with a satisfied breath, the head of his beer now frothed agaisnt his lips, stuck to his mustache. He catches your gaze, licking at the bitter froth, his face warping into a bashful side smile.
And the time you happened to take a little holiday trip to Ginger Island in the same group?
Your toes dig into the warm sand from where you sit, eyes hidden behind sunglasses, only a little guilty with how you watch him;
Shirtless for one, his body soft in appearance, but you know he's packed with extra muscle under the swell of his pecks and the softness of his tummy. The hair that dusted over his body clung to him with the wetness of the surf, a trail leading down into the water-soaked boardshorts that hung a little low with the added water weight. He drags those thick fingers through his hair, arm raised, looking around the beach, spotting you and giving a wave from the shoreline.
It's very hard to not stare..
the more people complain about Clint becoming marriable, the more powerful i become. i've never felt such pure schadenfreude in all my days. CLINT FANS, WE ARE FEW BUT WE'VE WON
