A Glazed Snail really is a pastry with custard and raisin.

Anyway.

I only have Stardew Valley works on my Ao3 for the moment but I swear I have other fandoms.

This is my list of long works so far (please mind the tags and cw):

I make the banners myself instead of anything else actually productive in case you were dying to know.

Fun Fact about yourself? I'm actually an English Major. If we're being specific, I have a bachelor's degree in Arts in Language and Literature, with a major in Portuguese and English (I'm also a non-native English speaker). I went to a renowned public university in Latam and it's actually funny how academia has strengthened my relationship with fanfiction, as I used to binge read anything I could get my hands on every end of semester.

How long have you been writing fanfiction? Officially, since October '24. From what I can tell, I started to idealize my main story back in August. Even though I've been reading fanfiction for over ten years now, I was never one to write much. I have written original fiction, though, almost ten years ago and that's how I always knew I had a writer within.

Favourite SDV character to write? Harvey. Not only because he's my favorite NPC and my husband ever since I first played SDV, but also because I love trying to understand the intricacies of his anxious mind. Truth be told, Harvey reminds me a lot of someone really close to me, so I love making these connections between them and adding depth to his character. However, I believe every single SDV character has the potential to have a whole thesis written about their inner struggles and issues.

Favourite tropes/genre to write? Angst above all. I love yearning and longing and having my heart broken into a million pieces. Hurt/Comfort is a close second, falling into the same category. What can I say, I like them broken. And even though now I focus a lot on romance, I also love writing about friendship and found family!

Your most popular SDV fanfic? If we're talking hits, that would be my first ever posted one-shot, 'If we died tonight, I'd die yours'. If we're talking kudos, then it's 'A Good Morning'. The former was actually just me practicing some writing while I was still getting to know my characters. To be honest, it all started in my Tumblr DMs. The latter was a gift for a friend that was facing a hard time at the time it was posted, and my way of reciprocating all the times she has helped me before - whether she knew it or not.

Your SDV underdog fic you wish more people would give a chance?ย My beloved child, my main fic, A House in Pelican Town. It is still very new and with few chapters posted, as life insists on keeping me from writing for months now, but I love the whole idea of the plot, all the inspirations behind it, and mostly, my two idiots. I'm always ridiculously happy whenever someone reads it (even more than any other fic, if we're being honest).

Hear me out: Write them sad. Write them broken. Please, write them REAL. Give your characters flesh, blood and soul, make them human, don't be afraid to shape them into something that might not be pretty, but that at least is real. Beautiful stories sometimes can be a little sad too. If angst is your way to navigate through the words, the only person you owe loyalty is to yourself. And even though not everyone will want to approach a sad story, there's always the underdogs cheering from the sidelines. I know because I'm one of them.

Lastly, any other fandoms you write for? No! Only Stardew Valley Harvey Brainrot for me, please!

We are very lucky to have someone as talented as Mimi as one of our number. If you check out her fics, please be sure to kudos and comment to show your support for small artists and writers.

If you write Stardew Valley fanfiction and would like to join our guild, please message this blog for an invite!

i don't know what i'm supposed to do, haunted by the ghost of you

I can't find the words for this. this beautiful commision from @juh-artist has been haunting my every thought for a few days now and I'm beyond happy to finally be able to share it! I was so excited to see how Juh's Harvey would turn out to be, but as soon as I saw Genevieve I was absolutely enthralled. They look amazing and the LOOK IN THEIR EYES!!!!! I'm on my knees!!! Thank you so much to Juh for embracing these characters and bringing them to life with such passion! And, oh, to support Brazilian artists! My favorite sport to this day.

and if you ever feel like knowing these two a little better, you can always find their story here. ๐Ÿ–ค

Chapter 31 of Unsettled Dust of the Valley

It's a long night, and a long talk about Shane's sex life, but is that not what friends are for?

'Is everything ok?' Juniper lifts her gray eyes to him. There's worry in their light, that much he recognizes, and he knows she's genuine. Just enough to twist the knife in. 'Yeah I'm fine. Don't worry bout me.' He faintly laughs, avoiding her eyes. 'I can try.' She softly murmurs. 'But Iโ€ฆ I'll always worry about you.' She smiles. How could she not. After everything. After finding him at the doors of death. Afterโ€ฆ 'Cause you're a friend and everythingโ€ฆ' She adds with a laugh. 'It's dumb really.' He inhales sharply. 'It's aboutโ€ฆWell t's'about Penny.' 'Trouble in paradise already?' June smiles. 'Mmh.' She opens wide eyes, her hand on her mouth. 'Oh shit, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-' 'You're fine, ya dork.' Shane laughs.

itโ€™s unfortunate that (some) people in fandom spaces are starting to get too comfortable complaining and being rude to writers and artists who create contents they personally donโ€™t like (โ€œwhy are you making this character a top when heโ€™s obviously a bottom? omg do you even understand his character?โ€ โ€œIโ€™m so sick of seeing fan art and fanfic where this character is portrayed as a sadist when heโ€™s actually misunderstood in my opinions, therefore anyone who disagrees with me is wrong and should be shamedโ€ just to name a few Iโ€™ve seen) instead of curating their own fandom experiences by engaging only with contents they do like.

you want more fics where (x) is written in this specific way? either write one yourself or politely expressing your opinion about how you hope there will be more fics where (x) is written in this specific way instead of making fandom a toxic place by being rude to writers and artists who dare make contents that are not to your Personal Liking.

if the universe does not revolve around you, strangers and fandom spaces donโ€™t have to cater exclusively to your personal preferences either.

to all my beloved writers and artists, write whatever you want, draw whatever you want. portray that character in whichever way you want to portray. I hope you have fun doing what you love. donโ€™t let anybody tell you what you can or canโ€™t do with the blorbo. go wild. I will always support you

Had a dream last night that i was a knight and this bigger scarier knight had me on the ground and right before he swung his sword at my neck he said smth like "i mourn the loss of life for the tree who will become your coffin" which shouldnt have turned me on like it did but alas
