My entry for the 2024 Bokumono Exchange Summer @bokumonoexchange

My giftee was @tinseltina. I really hope you like it 💚 I love how it turned out.

I now have the headcanon that Gustafa brews his own herbal teas, which he shares with the farmer when they come to visit. (I also think Jennifer from Mineral Town probably comes to visit Gustafa and drink tea with him every now and then.)

Huge thank you to Mod Flik for organising this event, and for everyone who took part

Some insight on the work under the cut:

Among their potential requests, tinseltina asked for original design Gustafa with the farmer, and the theme 'tea parties'.

I actually went into the remake and used the in-game camera tool to get a photo of the correct angle of the inside of Gustafa's yurt to use for reference. I did think about trying to use the colours and patterns from the original game, but finding a screenshot with nice, bright colours I could pull from proved tricky.

The sliced fruit are peaches, since that's a top gift for Gustafa, and the colour scheme matched the flowers in his vase really nicely.

I also used a reference for Gustafa's hand pouring the teapot.

The dog got added to fill empty space 😅

Gustafa is literally the perfect man and it is criminal how underrated he is by HM/SoS fans. He’s literally so gentle and sweet and not only takes on being his child’s primary caregiver, but is shown to fully embrace his wife’s ambitions by joining in with his own marriage-animations-routine (since the spouses all just Only Exist on the property regardless of who you marry and the gender version.)

All he asks for in return is for his wife to reassure him that she loves him, as he’s self-aware enough to realize that she had “more attractive men” in the village to choose to marry instead and produce a child with to keep her inheritance.

And yet she chose HIM.

This lives rent-free in my head.

I don’t believe he has hair in his story of seasons version either

Walked into Cody's house to find him and Gustafa hanging out

"Hey friend! Did you come to play too?"

"Cody's work is interesting, huh. I can feel strength but...I also feel kindness."

Picked up A Wonderful Life again on my GameCube having never finished it but wanting to before January when the Remake comes out (In Japan anyway, but I'm planning to get that version)

I had one of Gustafa's scenes and I was like "Huh. You're p chill. Maybe ill marry you in the remake now that I can be a man with a husband"

I opened my 'stall' to sell stuff and he immediately showed up and started trying to buy all the flowers in my pocket I'm wooing my eventual wife with at max price.

Sir you gotta find a better way of romancing than "Is that a present for the girl youre trying to get with? I'll buy it from you. Is that a present for her too? Not anymore."

Gustafa really heard mlm was coming in January and said "WHY WAIT"

...

Side note how do I tell Muffy I don't have like 3 days of presents for her because the town hippie trapped me and tried to buy them all.
