Sooo, out of all the 14-heart events, this one is by far my favorite cutscene. Like seriously. The hot wizard takes you on a romantic underwater date, you get blessed by a mermaid for your marriage, and she even gifts you a bracelet. A Mermaid’s Bracelet.
It’s basically like the Mermaid’s Pendant, but worn on the wrist and not gonna lie, that alone makes it feel extra special. I’m 100% keeping it in my inventory even though it’s “just” a bracelet. This is a precious, wonderful gift from my wizard husband, especially when the farmer is a very active florist and adventurer.
Heyaaa Mousey! How are you today? I hope you’re doing well over there! (◍•ᴗ•◍)
Also, thank you so much for doing my Foxbloom fiasco asks the other day. I loved it! After reading them, I came up with another request idea. I hope you don’t mind if I send it your way! And of course, there’s no need to write it right away, I can wait. The most important thing is that you get some rest and take care of yourself.
Anyway, here’s my request! It’s connected to the whole Foxbloom madness. How would the SDV & SVE townsfolk, including the bachelor/ettes react to this entire Foxbloom chaos that our dear farmers Cerise (my OC) and Julian (your OC) have caused?
Also, would it be okay if you include my other farmer OC, Thalia, who’s Magnus’ wife? I can already imagine the impending doom if Thalia ever decided to plant a foxbloom and turn it into a perfume or bouquet, haha!
Hello again, Hime 👋
I'm doing pretty well. Got a bit of a cold right now, but I'm treating it with tea, and someone recommended pineapple juice with spirulina powder, and it seems to be helping :D At least, I feel much better than I did a couple of days ago, heh.
Anyway, thank you for another opportunity to write about the Foxbloom fiasco, and yes, I added your OC Thalia, ope you like it! Thank you very much again for your question and have a nice day ✨
For those who are interested in what we are yapping about: there is an item in the game called Foxbloom honey, added by the Ridgeside Village mod. It is impossible to obtain it without cheats, because the Foxbloom flower is very expensive, and honey is even more expensive, which makes it overpowerful. The idea arose that such expensive honey, especially from a magical flower, would definitely be something like a Stardrop, i.e., it would give new abilities, heal all diseases — there are many ideas! We've already talked about this here, and here, and also here. We probably talked about this somewhere else, but I can't find it, so whatever lol. Hime also wrote "Foxbloom fiasco" and it's on AO3, so go check it out 👀
Also, so as not to get lost in the relationships: OC Cerise/Jio (Ridgeside Village mod), OC Thalia/Magnus Rasmodius, mention of Lance/OC Rosemary (Rosemary is Cerise's younger sister), and my OC Julian (single in this HC because his only "date" will be with the consequences of his actions *wheeze*).
_________________________________________
Where others see only chaos and panic, Pierre and Morris see opportunity! Once they learned the fabulous prices at which goods even remotely related to this strange flower were selling, and how people were literally fighting for it, a sly smile immediately appeared on their faces. The smell of incredible profits, as soon as they can sign a contract with Julian, Cerise or Thalia... or even all three at once! Pierre will be able to open shops throughout the entire Ferngill Republic and live with his family in luxury, while Morris dreams of buying up everything here and creating a paradise under the Joja's name. But instead of catching the farmers and offering them a partnership, Pierre and Morris began to fight each other... Competitors, of course, ugh!
Even more shocking events than the chaos with the three farmers were taking place in the Mullner family: George... stood up. He simply got up from his wheelchair. This left Evelyn, Alex, and George himself in complete shock and later in tears, hugging each other, unable to comprehend how such a miracle could have happened. The reason for this was the very same miraculous Cerise's chocolate containing Foxbloom honey, which caused the three farmers to run away from some locals, then from visitors, then from each other (mainly Julian from two other farmers). Evelyn tearfully thanks the young people for this, even if it wasn't intentional, Alex still can't believe it and asks farmers what Foxbloom is, while George... seems to be able to play gridball with his grandson after all.
Leah still couldn't wrap her head around the whole situation: neither the fact that Julian had found some kind of flower that people from other cities and even countries were willing to kill each other over, nor the magical properties of the honey and, subsequently, Cerises' truffles and Thalia's perfume, even though the artist tried to be open-minded. The two young women mentioned, by the way, were in her little house, hiding from annoying suitors. Leah knew that they, like Julian, could stand up for themselves, but these suitors were like flies, no matter how much you chased them away... Although the artist deftly drove away the unwanted visitors with a sculptural hammer when they wanted to know if the farmers were in her house.
"Damn, the shit hit the fan." Perhaps not the most polite words to come out of Shane's mouth, but the chicken man accurately described the current situation: a whole crowd of strangers running after three farmers, promising a fortune for chocolate truffles, shouting declarations of love, or some other nonsense. He sipped his Joja cola and watched it all as if he were in the front row of a theatre watching absurd comedy. Honestly, Shane doesn't give a crap who's right and who's wrong, he's sure that Julian, Cerise and Thalia will find a way out of their situation. And he put away the recently gifted jar of honey, denying that he ever had it. Just in case, so that no weirdos would come to him, Marnie and Jas. Marnie, by the way, is very supportive of this idea. With all due respect to the farmers, she fears for the lives of her nephews, so either they will hide all the goods, or they will give them away without any arguments.
Morgan was terribly curious about what was happening in the valley and what kind of unusual flower it was that had everyone going crazy. Something magical?! Oooh, interesting! However, all attempts to find out anything from the conversation between Magnus and his wife Thalia failed when their teacher strictly forbade them to eavesdrop and sent them to another room. Whatever it was, Morgan noticed that Magnus came to the tower completely exhausted and irritable. They had to walk on eggshells because of the wizard's bad mood. On the other hand, he often forgot to give Morgan homework, which was great ("History lessons are sooo boring...") Maybe Julian and Cerise will tell them...
This jar of golden liquid is worth more than a thousand diamonds?! Dwarf tries to understand what is so valuable about it that humans are willing to give away untold riches for it. Fox– what? They're never heard of it before. But healing all wounds and giving superpowers does sound very tempting. They wonder what would happen if people could find it... By the way, will the farmers tell Dwarf how exactly this "honey" is produced? Bees make wha– Yuck. Why are all human products made in such a disgusting way? First milk, now this honey...
So that's what's going on in town... To tell the truth, Williy wasn't aware of what was happening, as he spent most of his time on the sandy shore fishing, while almost all the visitors were running after the three farmers either in town or in the forest. A legendary flower whose scent makes anyone fall in love, and honey collected from the flower's nectar heals wounds instantly... A beautiful legend. And, unfortunately for Julian, Cerise, and Thalia, it's not just a legend, but a whole problem. Thalia, by the way, once gave the old sea dog some perfume, for some unknown reason... But one spray on his fishing hook for fun, and he caught more fish in one day than he had in a whole month! So fishermen will definitely want this bait.
It's a bit of a shame for Gus that Julian will definitely stop selling Foxbloom honey, because the jar of liquid gold he gave earlier was an incredible ingredient for many dishes, which became truly magical. But his safety and peace of mind with Cerise and Thalia are much more important. Although it must be admitted that there were a lot of visitors, and while they remained in the Valley in search of the trio with their artisan goods, they needed to eat something before resuming their search. It's amazing how these very visitors didn't tear his establishment apart, searching so frantically for any mention of Foxbloom in the Saloon.
What in tarnation is going on here?! Some uninvited guests on Andy's farm again? Get off his farm! You trampled all his strawberry beds, you dumb fools! What do they— HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT "FOXBLOOM"! GET THE HELL OFF HIS PROPERTY, RIGHT NOW! Julian and Cerise's farm is to the north, Thalia's farm is a little further west. Wanna talk to these young troublemakers? Go there and ask them in person. Now get out! Or Andy will start throwing bottles at trespassers if they don't understand words. He would be gentler with strangers, but this is the seventh time today!
Of course Lance knew about the problem with a certain magical flower that Julian had accidentally discovered. After all, his dear wife Rosemary was a little concerned about her sister Cerise, as well as the other farmers. No, she wasn't worried about her safety (as if Ceris couldn't stand up for herself, ha!), but about her mental state, because Cerise would start killing intrusive suitors and might, in a fit of rage, set Julian on fire too. The gallant adventurer cannot help but admit that he is intrigued by the properties of honey and other goods associated with Foxbloom. But duty is duty, and the stability of Stardew Valley and Castle Village, as well as the safety of the farmers, outweigh his curiosity. *Chuckle* "Incredible adventures for all of us."
But the one person who is definitely not laughing right now is Magnus. His head is spinning from the amount of information he has received and the shock of some of the personalities involved. Mainly from Julian, who started it all, and his beloved but very stubborn wife Thalia, who still refuses almost all of the wizard's suggestions to protect her from unwanted attention because of the Foxbloom perfume she made. To hell with that blasted flower, he can't do any— three farmers have been kidnapped again?! Yoba, for the third time this week! Why do they refuse the protective dome, why doesn't the Ministry of Magic listen to his sensible advice? For what sins did Yoba decide to punish him so perversely?!
A grand discovery! A flower with incredible properties that can heal illnesses and wounds! Not to mention the honey and the bouquet itself! A scientist like Demetrius would not overlook such a thing! He was so engrossed that he didn't notice the farmers' bad mood as they fended off the visiting crowd because of the miracle flower, nor their reluctance to answer his questions. Maru, who was also intrigued by Foxbloom, was able to read the room and tried to change the subject or distract her father. She was sure that the flower had caused Julian, Thalia, and Cerise a lot of trouble. The inventor herself did not know how to help the farmers, except perhaps... by creating a robot bodyguard? Yeah!
Whether it was the aura emanating from Susan, the atmosphere in her home, or farmers' unwillingness to cause a scene, all three of them were able to calm down immediately and discuss further action, rather than pointing fingers and looking for someone to blame. The good-natured woman acted as a mediator, offering advice and pouring her guests delicious lemonade. Whatever had happened with the honey, truffles, and flowers, it hurt Susan to see three good friends quarrelling, so she decided to help them. It was a success, by the way: Julian apologised to Cerise and Thalia, and both women apologised as well. Susan sipped her lemonade as she watched the trio smile at each other again.
Of course Olivia had heard all the commotion, because some madmen had broken into her kitchen at night, maniacally searching for... truffles. Not her jewels or gold bars, but truffles. Of course, it was good that it was just some sweets and not her life or her son's, but it was simply outrageous! Thieves and bandits had invaded their peaceful town! Olivia understood everything, but when it came to the safety of her family, she could be quite unforgiving. Julian, Cerise and Thalia were, albeit unintentionally, responsible for this madness, so they and Lewis had to sort everything out. And protect themselves and the town.
Poor Victor is still a little shaken up from that unpleasant incident when burglars broke into his and his mother's house. Even more shocking were the details of the break-in, namely that the burglars wanted to steal... truffles. Specifically, the kind of truffles that anyone can buy at an affordable price from Cerise. Why in the world did they need to break into their house? "Well, Julian somehow got honey from a legendary flower, which he then sold to me, and I made truffles, now my chocolate cure all diseases and make you stronger, so almost everyone is hunting us down, making requests and trying to marry us off to some aristocrats to get the recipe." That... explains a lot. No, wait, Victor now has more questions after Cerise's answer, what–
Gyaah! Goblin doesn't understand why these humans are making such a fuss over a strange liquid obtained from the mouths of black and yellow bugs. In his opinion, it sounds kind of gross. Void mayo is another matter! In goblin'd society, there are sometimes auctions for a single jar of this delicacy. Still, Goblin wanted to warn the trio, especially Thalia... that his boss was somehow very interested in the farmer's goods, mostly the perfume. It's none of his business, but maybe... his boss is still bitter after the incident with her ex-husband, and now the other wife of that wizard... Anyway, Goblin tells the farmers to be careful with offers from the Witch.
After the unpleasant incident at Olivia's house, she naturally told the other mothers in town about it, half indignant and half warning them that trouble with the farmers' goods could come to their homes too. Jodi was horrified at first, but then remembered that she had already used all the honey for a sauce for baked fish. Besides, Kent was a veteran who would never let thieves into their house. Caroline's situation was more complicated... after Pierre found out the price of honey, truffles and perfume, he wanted to resell them. Caroline didn't want to risk her family's lives for stupid gold! Robin just gave Caroline a sympathetic look, because her husband is also deeply involved in this 'honey' research. Nevertheless, they also do not forget about the three farmers who also got into trouble because of their goods, hoping that everything will be resolved as soon as possible.
Depending on whether Kent is a member of the guild or not, he will know more about this chaos. As a veteran and family man, he only knew what everyone else knew: Julian's honey, which had already made its way into Cerise's goods, was worth a fabulous price and had very useful properties, so much so that people literally started a war among themselves. Same with Thalia's Foxbloom perfume, although she had more unwanted admirers than potential buyers. As a member of the Guild, Marlon gave him more details. Magic? It was hard to believe, although Kent had seen stranger things with the farmers. And under Marlon's leadership, he could help the three farmers in trouble.
"Aww, no more truffles?" Emily shushed her sister Haley's comment, seeing that the situation was already tense. Never before had the blue-haired young woman felt such a negative aura from people as she did from the three very irritated farmers. Julian was leaning back slightly, as if he wanted to run away, Cerise was looking at the blond man with a gaze that could kill him instantly, Thalia was... just tired. Haley didn't seem to notice it, being bummed that she would probably no longer have those delicious truffles and honey that she used for her face masks. Still, she would give farmers some advice on how to fend off unwanted suitors. Thanks Haley, but it's difficult to fend off a hundred people at once!
Krobus and the farmers sat in the sewer, listening to the loud footsteps and shouts above them, then breathed a sigh of relief when everything seemed to have quietened down. Well, here their human friends can find shelter and peace from their pursuers. At the same time, Julian with Cerise and Thalia will tell Krobus what happened in the town. Magic honey? Not surprising, the shadow man sensed something unusual when Cerise and Julian gave him honey and truffles. Moreover, honey really does heal and made his body smell very pleasant when Krobus moistened himself with it. "... Is something wrong?" Well, Krobus is happy to have guests anyway, because they sometimes gets lonely.
Oh, Elliott himself became a victim of excessive attention, fleeing the crowd along with the farmers. And all the poor writer did was buy one item from each of the local farmers. A small jar of honey, delicious truffles (perfect with his wine!), and perfumes with incredibly rich tones. It all started with the perfume when strangers began to surround him, some asking for the bottle itself, others trying to... propose marriage to him??? And when he accidentally blurted out in a panic that he had purchased certain goods from other farmers, the crowd tripled in size. Poor Elliott ran to his house, and he was very lucky when the crowd saw the three farmers in the distance and ran after them. Elliott would probably... stay home until tomorrow.
"Wow..." That was all Scarlett could say when Sophia told her best friend about the crazy stuff going on in town and why everyone was so anxious and nervous. To be honest, Scarlett didn't quite believe it all. No, of course Sophia wouldn't lie, it's just... magical honey and truffles that make people fight each other? Sophia wouldn't believe it either, but she saw with her own eyes how Thalia, who was talking to her, immediately ran towards the forest, followed by 20+ people Sophia didn't know, shouting about Foxbloom, money and love. It's crazy, honestly...
As it happened, Jas, Vincent, and Leo were the reason why the attempt to kidnap the three farmers from the Stardew Valley failed. Children playing nearby heard screams and, tiptoeing closer to the source of the noise, saw Thalia and Julian lying on the ground tied up, while Cerise could not be restrained. The children were afraid that something bad would happen, but they didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Leo's family, the parrots, helped chase the strangers away. The brave kuds were rewarded for their courage with lots of tasty treats and 'Hero' badges, (the parrots were not forgotten either, as they were given lots of tasty nuts), although no one said what exactly had happened or why the bad people were trying to find out from the farmers about some flowers and honey. Jas and Leo hope that their older friends will be all right. Vincent too, but he was more happy for a free ice cream.
Over the past week with 'Foxbloom fiasco', Harvey had fainted twice, taken a huge dose of sedatives, and questioned his own sanity. And it wasn't even that madmen had broken in and tried to steal a jar of honey (which he had long since used up!), but that miracles beyond logic had happened to the locals. Healed George could walk again, Shane and Pam's livers were like new, as if they had never touched alcohol, the scars on Andy's hands had disappeared, and Marlon's eye.... had reappeared?! What on earth was going on here! Why— Did he want to know? Did he want to ask the chaotic trio how their products had become a miracle cure? Harvey certainly wouldn't have enough sedatives if he wanted answers to his questions.
Ah, Foxbloom... A very rare and incredibly beautiful flower. Linus once had the opportunity to behold this beauty of Mother Nature, touch its delicate petals with his fingers, and breathe in its sweetest aroma. A magical flower untouched by humans... Perhaps Foxbloom should have remained untouched, rather than being planted on a farm for honey production. The old hermit does not know if this is a peculiar way for the forest spirits to teach Julian a lesson, or a test before people discover Foxbloom—only time will tell. For now, Linus will try to help the farmers in trouble, either by deed or word.
As if Lewis didn't have enough problems with the farmers and that cursed flower, the notorious town troublemakers, known by the crude nickname 'A.S.S. trio,' decided to add to his troubles. Sam and Abigail were a little offended by the old man, because their intentions were to help him and their farmer friends, not to make things worse. Sebastian also wanted Julian, Cerise, and Thalia to be left alone, although the local emo didn't know how exactly he, Sammy, and Abby could help. And despite their noble motives, the trio was very curious about these magical truffles and honey (especially Abigail, who thought that Julian and Cerise's products would give her superpowers). Did the trio change anything? No, it became even more chaotic, but hey, it's more fun together!
Another working day for Claire... Taking over her shift, selling cola, shouting customers asking about some farmers and a magical flower, stocking shelves with Joja products, more customers asking about local farmers, some shouting and sounds of fighting outside, stocking shelves with more Joja products... After long shifts, she was too tired to notice anything except the way home and the desire to lie down in a soft, warm bed. Poor Claire...
Martin was worried about the non-local visitors, and not even because there had been so many of them over the last week, but because they asked in a rather rude and even maniacal manner whether farmers lived here, describing their features. He doesn't even know what Foxbloom is! Well, Cerise treated him to truffles with some kind of floral flavour, which were very nice, by the way, and so what? Yes, the scratches on his legs healed in an instant, but Martin thought it was just his mother's ointment working quickly. He now doesn't know whether to warn all the farmers that they are being
"... Perfumes whose scent will make anyone fall in love with you?" Clint was struck by this phrase, causing him to forget everything else that the trio of tired farmers had told him before. So many attempts that ended in failure when he began to stumble at the sight of her... So many hints that she didn't notice... At the same time, the blacksmith wondered if it would really be true love. Would it end when the last drop of Thalia's perfume bottle was emptied? And would it be fair to do that to her... "Clint, are you with us?" Wha– Oh yeah, magical flower, truffles and such, yeah. He was genuinely glad that his friends were okay (even though they were annoyed by the unwanted attention due to their miraculous goods), but Clint was simply thinking about something else...
Although Emily sent Sandy letters with the latest news from Stardew Valley, the owner of Oasis already knew everything, and even more. There was a real boom in rumors and gossip in the Castle Village. Some farmers from the valley (Sandy knows who, but she doesn't know which of the three it was) discovered/created some kind of magical artisan goods, and there are rumors that even some people from the Ministry of Magic and the Order are placing orders, either for research or for their own purposes. This is definitely a headache... which could have been hers, but luckily, Sandy had already eaten the last truffle she bought from Cerise during her visit to Pelican Town. She hopes her friends are okay now...
Marlon usually patrols the city in the evening, but given the increased threat, he has to walk around and keep watch much more often. He wouldn't mind if his knees didn't ache from all this movement... But even in this dry body, there is still enough strength left to fight overly violent visitor, another one in search of farmers. Lewis deals with the locals, Magnus deals with the magical community, and he and Gil (who doesn't really help, but just laughs at the whole situation) have to keep order. Marlon also won't forget to give Julian a light but noticeable slap on the back of the head as the culprit of all this because of his negligence. Healing honey and truffles are all well and good, but the safety of valley's residents is more important. Besides, the one-eyed adventurer isn't a fan of sweets...
Ha! Mead that helps the liver instead of destroying it? That's fantastic! Pam drank just one glass of mead at night, and the next morning she felt like she was 20 years younger, even though she usually had a hangover after one glass. And Harvey tore his hair out when, after another medical checkup, he said that Pam's health problems had disappeared as if by magic. No wonder Julian and the others are being chased, Pam would also join in to buy such a miracle mead at the usual price, ha-ha! By the way, she still has a bottle left... So how much do people pay for farmers' products with this flower, or what the hell is this?
The farmers thought they had problems, but they have no idea how many problems Penny has after all this. Not only did Julian give her mother a bottle of mead (which she was still very, very unhappy about!), but it also contained a magical flower that is causing chaos in the town. Maybe the three farmers can protect themselves, but what can she do? How can an ordinary teacher protect herself and her mother?! So now Penny is racking her brains trying to figure out how to take the bottle from her mother and return it to Julian. No amount of wealth is worth such danger.
Gunter politely nodded goodbye to the library visitors, who, instead of looking for a specific book, were looking for specific people, and the discontented crowd left without the answers they sought. "You can come out, they're gon–" He hadn't even finished his sentence when Cerise started ranting at Julian again, showering him with accusations, while Thalia tried to calm them both down. But the trio immediately quieted down when Gunter gave them a stern *shhhh!*, as if they were little children making noise in the library. If it would help the trio in trouble, he had a book about legends and fairy tales, and one of them was about Foxbloom. He said this because it seemed that the same page had instructions on how to "remove the effect' of Foxbloom from a person. Probably. There was also a book on hand-to-hand combat and self-defense. That might come in handy too.
No more tasty treats? Awww, what a shame, Apples thought their farmer friends would bring them to the party in the abandoned wineyard... But it's okay! The Bear has delicious honey too, and Apples have picked juicy, bright berries, enough for all the guests! Why do Apples' friends look so tired? And so angry? Did something happen? Maybe Apples with Peach and the other junimos can help their forest friends! Apples don't know how, but they'll help! After all, friends help each other, right? *Meep!*
So after marrying Magnus, I realized something... this man has so many loved gifts! Like, an entire feast of home-cooked meals and magical treats. I was scrolling through his list thinking, “Oh no… now I have to give him everything.” 😆
Every day I bring him one of his love gifts and the best part? He has a unique line of dialogue for each one! I love how every gift feels like a little moment between us. 💫
When you love your wizard husband that much, you just have to spoil him with all his favorite things, right?
And then I opened the relationship panel… and saw this wall of hearts staring back at me. Such achievement. 💖
Now I’ve got a new goal, time to test out his liked gifts next, because apparently he even has custom dialogues for those too! (Magnus truly never runs out of magic.) ✨🔮
Here’s the inside farmhouse layout of Runerose Farm, the home of my farmer Thalia, her wizard husband Magnus, their two lovely children Lunette and Melric, and two more little ones who will be arriving soon.
Yes, the house is very lived in. Yes, it’s a little full. And yes, this family has been busy.
Quick AU note: Lunette and Melric may look small here because of game limitations, but in my AU they’re actually pre-teens. Their baby brother and sister will be appearing soon, because apparently Magnus and Thalia decided that four children was a perfectly reasonable idea.
This post also includes the interior layout of their beach house, because one magically inclined family apparently needs two homes.
And no, I’m not listing the mods I used. I am extremely lazy, I used a lot of mods to make this house, and I will absolutely forget something. If you’re curious, just comment and ask, I’ll happily find the mod and send you the links.
Runerose Farm came to life when Thalia decided to leave her step-parents’ home and carve out her own path in Stardew Valley. The goodbye was a quiet moment filled with love, tinged with both sadness and encouragement. Armed with just her skills, a hopeful heart and a dream to cultivate something meaningful, she bought a piece of land on the valley's edge. The instant she set foot on it, she felt a gentle energy in the air as if the soil itself was waiting for her.
The land was pristine and serene, carrying a faint magical essence that thrived on care rather than force. Thalia worked patiently, shaping the fields by hand, attuning herself to the land’s rhythms, and heeding its gifts. As time passed, flowers began to bloom in ways she had never imagined, petals imbued with quiet enchantments, hues that softly glimmered at twilight and fragrances that wrapped around her like a warm embrace. The farm slowly became a place where magic and nature lived side by side.
Today, Runerose Farm is celebrated for its enchanting flowers, hand-crafted bouquets, and floral perfumes infused with a hint of magic. Each blossom is nurtured with intention, care, and a deep respect for the land that offered Thalia a fresh start. More than just a business, the farm symbolizes renewal, a haven where gentle magic takes root, and where a new beginning was tenderly nurtured from the ground up.
Something completely unexpected happened during my playthrough. I had just finished the Enchanted Grove quest, completed all the nexus except for the Crimson Badlands, and then bam! Camilla shows up out of nowhere and straight-up kidnaps (okay fine, “teleports”) my farmer, took her into the Crimson Badlands. I was absolutely gobsmacked like laughing, shocked, and screaming into my pillow all at once. Because get this: my farmer is actually pregnant with Magnus’s child.
Now picture that in a realistic sense. Camilla just snatched a pregnant woman so she could show the Crimson Badlands, maybe even expecting Thalia to go monster slaying. Mygawd, the stress Thalia must’ve felt. And when Camilla finally dropped her back on the farm, my poor farmer was literally shaking (I know this happens to every player, but still, mine is pregnant!). Thalia barely managed to get inside before breaking down as she told Magnus what had just happened.
Honestly, I was expecting a cutscene for something that wild, but nope. At least there’s a line of dialogue to acknowledge it. Still, Magnus being the sweet husband he is comforted Thalia right away.
After holding her close and soothing her, he shifted into overprotective mode, the glare in his eyes, the tension in his voice. It was clear he was already planning a very serious “conversation” with a certain witch who had clearly crossed a line. And honestly, I’d be pissed too if my colleague kidnapped my lover.
After months of playing Stardew Valley with Stardew Valley Expanded installed, I finally reached my second Perfection with my farmer Thalia. All the grinding, chaos, and emotional moments have finally paid off and it feels so rewarding.
This playthrough reminded me why I love SVE so much: the slow progress, the added depth, and the satisfaction of earning everything step by step. Reaching the Summit after all that work felt like the perfect conclusion.
I have a short video of Thalia reaching the Summit, with her husband Magnus waiting for her there. The quality isn’t the best since I still don’t know how to properly screen record on my laptop, but I really wanted to capture this moment anyway.
Thalia’s story isn’t over yet, more adventures still await her. 🌄✨
Good news! My farmer Thalia is finally married to Magnus (aka The Wizard) Oh mygawd, the slowburn Hidden Love Interest journey from the RRRR mod finally paid off and I am screaming.
So, I decided to try out a few different wedding mods to get the perfect screenshots. Some of them were gorgeous... and some? Welp, I nearly threw my laptop because fucking Lewis kept blocking my farmer’s view! He didn't even move aside after the speech! 😭
Like sir, MOVE. The decorations and wedding arch were absolutely perfect but Lewis just stood there ruining the angle!
After that disaster, I rage-quit the game to restart the wedding and downloaded the Enchanted Ceremony mod, and let me tell you, it was chef’s kiss.
The ceremony is secluded, which honestly feels so fitting if your marrying Magnus, and the guests are from the magical and adventurer community. Granted, there weren’t that many since I didn’t install the other NPC mods, but still it felt right. And the best part? CAMILLA was the officiant!
So yeah, my girl Thalia is finally married to the handsome wizard man. Now begins the agonizing wait for Magnus to finally give my farmer Thalia a wizard baby! Like why the hell is it a 1/20 chance for that to happen? I just want to see little wizard babies running around the farmhouse already!
