i heard a theory that all the glasses found in rivers and ponds are elliotts and he doesn't want anyone to know he wears glasses so every time he sees someone coming towards him he just tosses them in the nearest waterway sdjkghdkgh

the queen of sauce is just gus's drag persona

The ones that invented the "X is Sebastian father" theory feel like they haven't even played the game. He says that his father went to Zuzu to follow a more exciting life style because he was going crazy living in the calmness of the village, so definitely no NPC in the village is his father.

I got the alien event the night before Kent came back and I thought he was an alien for the next year in my save. Not my smartest moment

I've always thought that the player should be able to run against Lewis in a mayor election cause he's not doing shit for the community. Like go around and build up hearts with the villagers but in competition against Lewis. The player does more for the economy and overall wellbeing of Pelican Town then Lewis ever does. As for the festivals, Gus cooks all the food, I think Emily has dialogue about making the jackolantern decorations, implying that she and other villagers do the decorating, the Wizard designed the maze for Spirit's Eve, Willy has dialogue about helping hide the eggs for the egg festival, implying that it's usually some sort of team effort, and Pierre or the Traveling Cart run the shops. Like the only thing with the festivals that Lewis actually does is announce the start/end times of certain events, judge the garange display, and try to butter up the Govener at the Luau. Look at how nice his house is while directly behind him, Pam and Penny live in a mobile home (which the player and Robin end up fixing). Lewis has done literally nothing but make a statue of himself and gaslight Marnie into believing that their relationship would somehow be a scandal. The player is already the defacto mayor, but I want to run an election campaign lmao

something that always got me curious is the relationship dynamics of linus and the wizard. you see them together (or at least near each other) when you attend spirit’s eve and festival of ice. however, when reading their dialogue scripts, there isn’t any clear signs that they’ve known or met each other in any capacity.

my theory is that Pierre's secret stash is Joja Cola, and he likes the drink despite joja being his competitor

(spoilers) Considering Shane literally threatens to off himself during one of his heart events, I'd say his depression is a little more than implied

It would be very weird if the grandpa-Evelyn theory was real, since Alex is an marriage candidate.

A fun fact about the broken glasses thing. When you gift Evelyn a pair of broken glasses, she thanks you and tells you how she had been looking for them the entire time. So it's pretty much confirmed it's Evelyn who's throwing them away (also, she must be loaded, being able to afford so many glasses)

Most of the Sebastian dad theories don’t make sense. Shane being the dad doesn’t make sense because neither he, Robin, Demetrius, or Seb make mentions of each other that imply that Shane has any connection to the family. And personally I think Shane would be too young as a think he’s more late twenties early thirties and Seb is supposed to be college age. Krobus doesn’t make sense because we don’t even know if a human and shadow person couple can even have kids or if they would even look human. and the majority of the villagers don’t know that shadow people actually exist or if they do most shadow people have been hostile to humans anyways. Seb is just a sad boy who has divorced parents, feels detached from his family, and is unsure what to do with his life. It’s really not that far fetched why he tends to like the darker aesthetic.

19:35 “The only boy in Stardew Valley is Vincent” Leo: Aight, imma head out

So we're all just getting this video recommend to us 2 years later?

When you marry, your partner doesn't always stay on the farm. Harvey still goes to the clinic, Sebastian goes and sees his mum, Elliott goes for walks around town, he even has a heart even not long after you marry where he leaves for a week. They still do things.

3:05 HEAVILY IMPLIED??? like when he talks about jumping off a cliff???😭

I always liked the idea of Abigail being the wizard's granddaughter and Caroline is his actual daughter.

The "you ruined your spouse's life" theory is still so strange to me. You mention that the spouse is "ripped away from their family and friends," but like, Sebastian visits his family every Monday and still hangs out with Sam and Abigail on Fridays. How is it any different to the real world where partners live together and visit family/friends on occasion? Maybe I'm just uninformed and other spouses don't leave the farm of their own will.

I wish Stardew Valley gets a few more playable areas and expands into the ones we have. The Secret Woods are actually minimal, I would've expected the area to be kinda like the cave in the quarry, but it's just your daily hardwood dispenser; the area where the Flower Dance happens is entirely unplayable outside of the event; the Calico Desert is essentially an area with Sandy's store and the Skull Cavern, among other places which seem like they'd be interesting to explore.

FUN FACT: The governor actually likes the soup with lewis' underpants, calling it a bit tangy but likes it UNTIL he finds the shorts in there.

i just wanted to put this out there, evelyn being on the mantle, telling the player to call her grandma, evelyn talking fondly of your grandpa, and no other grandma to the player being stated... if evelyn is your grandma, those who marry alex... are marrying there half cousin.

Shane is WAY too young to be Sebastian's father. Mans would have needed to be like 12-14 when Sebby was made for that to be true.

"Shane might have depression" may be the understatement of the century, you literally convince him not to kill himself. Also, I always hate the "youre actually dead" and "it was all a dream" theories personally, theyre too easy, we dont know what happens in death, so, literally anything can be explained as "youre dead," to the point you cant argue that youre alive rn, could all be in the afterlife and theres no way to prove or disprove it. Same with dreams, no logic, so, everything is explained away by it, though, there is like, clocks and computers, and written language, which are all things that tend not to work in dreams, so, theres that. The "its qi's simulation" is good tho, has some effort put in.

Josh is renamed to Alex because he lost the josh fight.

About Sebastian being the child of a shadow person. If you pay attention to his dialogue you'll notice he actually doesn't like the basement he lives in. He mentions that he'd like a window.

24:33 Seeing Evelyn's picture on Grandpa's mantle really makes sense to me. When we first greet her, she says "You can call me 'Granny' if you like"

Shane's depression is a story element, right? Spoilers: There's a cutscenes where he considers commiting suicide while incredibly inebriated. In another cutscenes, he talks about getting help in the nearby city. Shane is one of my favorite characters, and those scenes really hurt me

7:21 Pierre secret stash is _money_ !The japanese translation (or some other language I don't remember) makes this assumption, but that makes perfect sense in every possible way. He's so cheap and greedy that he hides those extra income from his own family. Despicable.

i’ve heard the creepy rain noises but never the scream? that’s so eerie, if i was playing late at night and heard that i’d turn the game off so fast lmao

The Evelyn and grandpa theory kind of makes sense, because when you first talk to her, she says "You can call me Granny, if you want"

imagine never getting the trash hat - i have SIX

“fixed a geneva convention violation” is possibly the funniest patch note for a game i’ve ever heard

The wolf howling sound in 11:40 is actually the sound for when you lock out an animal and they end up dying to wolves

I know this is old and someone has probably already said it but, 'gunther is a ghost cause how would he know how old the key is'? He works at the museum! It's kinda his job to know how old stuff is and museums tend to keep a pretty clear dating system from what I can gather. That's just.... Such a strange oversight to try to make a theory work

I think CA could upgrade Abigail’s guinea pig enclosure, make it bigger, add another guinea pig. No need to get rid of it, but I think that’d be nice.

I like how Sebastian is assigned three fathers in this video

There's actually some more evidence that Linus could be Yoba: - Linus is sometimes found hanging out with the Wizard; note the Spirit's Eve maze and how he stands up where the Wizard is - Linus adores nature over civilization to such a degree that he openly refuses to live in anyone's home - Linus has some loose comparisons to Jesus; intentionally living in squalor, encouraging people to be good to each other, rarely getting upset/angry - Linus seems to live (mostly) comfortably even in Winter, despite living in a tent with limited heating

I have a theory that in Emily’s 10 heart event, she secretly orchestrated the entire sequence of events. There’s several pieces of dialogue from her that subtly implies that she can understand and communicate with plants and animals, which makes me think that she talked to the bear beforehand to have it scare us, and intentionally left one sleeping bag outside as to force us to share one

okay but shane CANNOT be sebastian's father because shane is 29 AT MOST and would've been like 11 when sebastian was born

In an alternate universe people are watching this video and losing their minds because “STARDEW VALLEY IS SUCH A COOL NAME, WTF CONCERNEDAPE, WHY DID YOU GO WITH SPROUT VALLEY?!”

With the genetically modified rabbit theory, it also makes sense because you can harvest their feet! Several more than 4 feet from a single rabbit, and they seem to still love you so I guess they don't feel pain. The rabbit foot always weirded me out for that reason

Piggybacking on the player is dead theory, Pam is the bus driver for the town and an alcoholic. Maybe she was driving drunk, crashed the car and as a result we have current Pam

After I married Sebby and brought him to the farm Penny keeps telling me how happy he is now

With the "Sebastian's dad being a Shadow Person" theory, Sebastian is also the only human villager that likes Void Eggs as a gift. The only other characters in the village that like them are the Wizard and Krobus. He also can mention that he sometimes has dreams where he is a Shadow Shaman. EDIT: Also with Grandpa possibly having a fling with Evelynn, it WOULD make sense since when you introduce yourself to her, she says "You can call me "Granny" if you like". Because she IS our grandmother.

30:52 is why Sebby is my favorite spouse, because he "needs to remain independent, even though we're married". He goes on walks arround town 1-2 times a week, still visits the carpenter's shop, and through good morning dialouge, you can find he occasionally takes midnight bike rides. Plus, cute emo boy make brain go brrrrt

Sebastian prefers basements? he is beyond resentful that his mother married Demetrius and made him live in the basement so that the golden child Maru has her own room...

Gus can't be the Queen of Sauce, since the Queen of Sauce entry for Pink Cake references someone going to Zuzu city, likeing Pink Cake, then asking for their recipe, thus placing the Queen of Sauce as a Zuzu city resident.

I firmly believe Leah is Robin’s biological daughter. They look identical and have good wood craftsmanship.

I love that the fandom has just all decided that all girls with colored hair (except Caroline) is the wizards daughter

I think concerned ape should adjust the guinea pigs enclosure like putting a small pen in abigals room to keep him in. Just a small change like that would be fairly easy to impliment and keep people happy :))

The fact the community had the opportunity to make the wizard romancable and they let that slip for Shane of all people is just...it hurts.

Undertale/deltarune theory basis : IT'S ALL GASTER'S FAULT stardew theory basis : the wizard is a whore

31:18 elliot doesn't seem like his life is "ruined" after you marry him though. he just sometimes says he misses the sea. but heck, i sometimes miss school as well. doesn't mean i want to go back there or am not happy where i am now.

YOU MEAN WE HAD THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO MARRY THE WIZARD??

YOU'RE TELLING ME WE COULDVE MARRIED THE WIZARD AND INSTEAD WE GOT *SHANE*

I saw the green sea monster event in the first week I had the game, and I asked my friend "Hey whats up with that little sea monster in the ocean??" And they started freaking out because they had been playing for a few years and have never seen it and here I was, just a little noob, finding all the secret things

Rarest thing in the game:marnie at her rantch shop house or whatever

35:33 Harvey fan here. Morris is the only one who’s glasses fit the glasses in the trash. Small, black frames, round, while Harvey’s glasses are oval and brown. This theory is debunked, Harvey is too precious to litter

A single person with one fishing rod will never be “unsustainable” for any ecosystem in this planet lmao

for the “player died on the way” theory, that means the pet is their best friend/dream pet that they never got to see, and in co-op the farmhands are either their dead friends or friends that they imagine would join them

Haley's "Super cucumber" quest can be for any item, not just a super cucumber. Still sus.

The pronunciation of mariner being said like marinara sauce is killing me😭

i do think gunther is a ghost, and that the villagers just assume the library to be communal. then they just assume hey they new farmer brought back all the books we lost while not having anyone check up on that and assume the farmer takes care of the place. gunther literally doesn't show up on any of the events and nobody ever mentions him.

Everyone is the wizards daughter

OMG IVE SEEN THE LITTLE GREEN MONSTER WHILE FISHING BUT DIDN'T THINK THATS WHAT IT WAS!!! I THOUGHT "Omg is Elliot a merman?? Is that why he lives on the beach alone??" It didn't help that it was the one pathway straight from his house.

HOLD ON. the garbage can hat is rare? i was just digging for trash like a gremlin and the thing exploded off of the trash can and went into my inventory and i thought: “huh. that’s a dumb hat.” and then i put it in a chest and haven’t thought about it ever since.

In the Japanese version of the game there is a word for Pierres secret stash which translates into secret money or secret savings.

I swear in one of my games I got 7 garbage can hats I swear I was a fanatic over those things

Linus didn't found joja but still worked for joja. I figured out a way more plausible theory . Pelican town was a mining town . The mines were owned by joja and Linus was the department manager of joja mining . One day a there was a massive disaster in the mines . Paralyzing George, taking one of Marlon's eyes and killing m jasper . Joja found out that it was the dwarves ship crashing into the mines that caused the collapse. A war between the shadow people and dwarves broke out . Joja hired the wizard to clear the mines but all he could do was broker a peace . The mines were too dangerous to mine now so joja pulled out . Linus feeling responsible for the deaths and ruined lives decided to live a life of seclusion. Marlon losing friends decided to protect anyone from going in the mine that wasn't prepared. The wizard also keeping an eye on things . Joja decided to make a store in the now unused company owned building. Then Pelican town slowly started to become a dilapidated version of itself since all the work from the mines dried up. Also i don't think that Abigail and Caroline are biologically connected. I think Abigail is the daughter of the witch and wizard . Caroline said she used to adventure out to the wizard's tower often then stopped. I think the wizard gave her Abigail to hide from the witch to keep her safe because the wizard loves the witch still .it was just because she got corrupted and turned evil .

Linus doesn't want a house - period. If you married him, he'd probably just stay in his tent and visit you sometimes in the farmhouse, lol

I love the died and went to stardew valley one because there are clear signs of an accident on the road

I think it's kind of funny with Kent's hated gift dialogue, because it implies they gave him Piña Coladas at the prison camp? Guess the Gotoro Empire's soldiers knew how to party

my theory is that sebastian was originally ginger

All I saw on the iceberg was "Linus is Yoba" and I was hooked. I'm a believer!!

I think I saw this somewhere else first, but it may be my own theory. I'm pretty sure Linus, the wizard, and the guy who runs the adventurer's place use to be a D&D style adventuring party, with Linus being a druid or ranger type.

so Guinea pigs can have wheels, but they have to be HUGE (think a small dog wheel at least 3 ft maybe 4 in diameter for smaller or dwarfed piggies.) and unless their cage is also huge, it likely wont fit in their enclosure. growing up my piggie had one, but it was big enough that the neighbors teacup Chihuahua could also run on it. the main concern is that it has to be large enough so the animal can run while keeping a straight back. i think if he extended the cage design to be 3 tiles wide with a huge wheel inside, and altered her dialogue to say "guinea pigs" the debate would be over on that part. i just don't think the dev had a whole lot of info on rodent upkeep (hell even most American rodent owners did not have such info till just the 2010s.) so i don't blame him for the enclosure and care. he could also change her wording to "hamster" just as easily. id still upgrade the cage size either way as hamies require a lot of space too...

So random thought that takes a few of these theories and smushes them together. Spoilers ahead. You die in the office cut scene when you first load up the game, but Pelican Town ISN’T your final destination. It’s a limbo stage where you’re actions and decisions decide where you go. That’s why Grandpa and Qi are watching you, rating you. To decide where your final destination is. The community center and joja could be like the “good and evil”, plus how you interact to the npcs (like buying Pam a house but not telling her) Maybe the cut scene on the mountain top when you reach perfection could be you “ascending to a better place.” All of the issues could be people trapped in their decisions or waiting to move on, not knowing their dead yet either?

Waligug: "39 minutes" 37:00: I'm about to end this man's whole career

Personally i have the theory that the Player is the Vessel of Yoba The Yobaism symbol is called the Sign of the Vessel, and Yoba is seemingly a nature god I think that when we drink the magic tree juice in the wizard's house and become able to speak the junimo language, we become the Vessel tl;dr: the Player is YobaJesus

when you mentioned DF (dangerously funny) it absolutely melted my heart. his channel helped me through my stardew journey and i found comfort in his vids. recently subscribed to you and i absolutely adore your content as well! keep it up💞

Gunther is an archaeologist, why wouldn't he have a key that's over 100 years old and know some of its history lol

I loved this video. One thing though. Sebastian actually hates living in basement. I speculate Maru is in his old room. Idk why but Robin really let's her new husband run everything an mistreat her son an follows suit cause he doesn't wanna go to collage, yet least he still has a job. Anywayyyyy 😅 just wanted say Sebastian doesn't actually 3ant to live in basement. Demetrius and Robin make him stay in basement

Winter door could possibly be a nightmare before Christmas reference? Since in that each holiday had a door on a tree and the door in-game appears Infront of a tree. Idk might be a stretch just the first though that came to mind

this video from Waligug today and Mossy’s the darkside of Stardew valley coming on December 25th? Best Christmas gift ever! also kinda surprised coal trees weren't on here, but great video regardless!

Guinea pig owner here!! All the problems people have with Abigail are absolutely correct: there is tons and tons of misinformation about Guinea pigs, causing many people to think that how Abigail has hers set up is perfectly fine. However, I don’t think the game will cause any harm to real Guinea pigs out there. There’s a lot of causes for misinfo surrounding piggies, and Stardew valley is very low on that list lmao

The door at 29:11 has been explained. It’s actually a mistake concernedape made while copying in the sprite for the tree because the door sprite is right next to it.

I heard Nightvale and thought I just heard wrong and when I saw the Nightvale image I went absolutely FERAL. Nightvale is the only podcast that can keep my attention, I love it so much 😭

Imagine Stardew Valley breaking the Geneva Convention

I wish the wizard was a batchelor tbh

the wizard used the statue in his basement to turn into Pierre and impregnate Caroline to secure the practice of magic to continue

Every girl is the wizards daughter

correct me if im wrong but i think the “womp” sound that plays during rainy days are actually frogs croaking! and if you’re near the lake or smth you can probably find one before it hops back in the water! i’ve encountered this a few times after hearing that weird noise haha. and the first spooky noise played is from the guy by the beach thats sells you the mermaid’s pendant i think (since he’s technically a ghost)

Hold up- if Grandpa & Evelyn were together. Does that mean that Alex could be our cousin or smth Unless Alex is biologically related to George only

Caroline has a dialogue that mentions Abby having light blonde hair when she was younger. So jaz being the wizards daughter sounds more plausible

Why are we all seeing this now

But they are brackets. (333) parentheses [444] brackets {555} curly braces

At this point, the whole valley is one of the wizards children. •_•

Penny has a line after you marry her where she says that gunther asked to say hi, also personally i like to think that evelying is your grandfathers sister, its just a headcannon, though, since evelyn was the first friend i made

"if you click the leaf some thingies will fly out" ... leaves?

IM SO MAD IM SO MAD SHANE WON A VOTE TO BE A MARRIAGE CANDIDATE!?!?! AND NOT LINUS!?!?!?
