    The thing I love about Emily is that... she's right. All her spiritual mumbo jumbo was a bit off-putting to me at first. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized... This world is literally full of monsters. There's a wizard in the forest. You're helping to rebuild a building with a bunch of apple-like forest spirits.
    Emily's just the one who sees the most.

    • @dmin5782
      @dmin5782 3 месяца назад +45

      The Green Rain event in 1.6 makes her connection to forest magic much more obvious. She's the only person aside from the Wizard who understands what the rain means.
      Edit: 2nd year Fair new dialogue confirms another interesting thing: aura reading doesn't work on people with depression (Wizard mentions not being able to understand Sebastian's thoughts). This may explain why Emily takes interest in Shane and Clint.

      @dmin5782 3 месяца назад +23

      Another headcanon I have is that Emily and Sandy were in the middle of planning a clothing business together, but Emily's parents more or less trapped her into being Haley's caretaker. The bus to Calico breaks down not long after.
      At least now, Emily seems to have an online store instead (why else would she have a computer?).

    I never really thought about the fact that her relationship is less explicitly romantic before. It's also sad that so many of her scenes are infiltrated by Clint. Almost makes you wonder if she was trying to dissuade him. She's not stupid, I'm sure she's aware he likes her like that.

      @thorinvalentine3805 Месяц назад +10

      I work in a foundry and the majority of us, me included, are pretty burly. Like, we're a bit pudgy, but a lot of it is muscle covered by fat. It could also be that he's an older man and almost all the older men at my workplace have a bit of a belly but can LIFT. Muscle distribution and the amount of water we have to drink to stay hydrated (gets to be +50°C in the summer months) that probably contributes to the body type. And obviously, not all blacksmiths and foundry workers :)

    I think we really could have had something with Clint. Helping him find the courage to ask Emily out without being strange about it, them having a nice day at the carnival but her telling him that she didn't see this as a date. And at first you think that Clint will get really upset, and he's obviously a bit sad things didn't work out, but you actually see after that finally asking her out and pulling himself out of the weird pining state did help him in the long run. You can tell him you're proud of him for putting himself out there and he tells you that he's happy he finally took charge of his life, even if it didn't end like he hoped. And maybe even later there's some dialogue that implies he's connecting with some other traditional blacksmiths in the city, where he'll have an easier time connecting with people because they already have something in common, etc...ah well. I completely understand peoplenwho can't stand Clint, I only like the version I've created in my head ig :'D

    although I'm sure the fact that she was not originally planned as a dateable character plays a lot into her early heart scenes being different than most, I love that we get to pursue someone who is more secure in their lives. It holds the same "value" in game as these more vulnerable and troubled singles, and personally that kind of love where you don't have this component of going in to "fix" anything and more just enjoy each other's company and are there for each other is something I enjoy a lot.

      throughout the video i was thinking the same thing. she def has autistic tendencies, even if she's not intended to he an autisitic character.
      i love how so much of the stardew fandom has headcannons about different characters being autistic, having adhd, etc. i wonder if concerned ape purposely lets it be up to us to decide if we think certain characters have certain traits so we can make the gameplay feel more personalized, rather than outright saying "this character is _". i feel like that would also explain why alex's character is into men and women just like the rest of the bachelors, but seems to have a better story when its with a guy. that to me says hes probably moreso into men, but since its our game its our choice how we want to perceive that.

    Hey, I am ace and on the aro spectrum myself, I wanted to provide some perspective. I really like the read of Emily as somewhere on the aroace spectrum, and her dialogue with the player after marriage does totally reflect either a committed platonic relationship (sometimes called a queerplatonic relationship) or a romantic relationship with someone on the aro/ace spectrum. There's totally evidence there, and I also think it aligns well with Emily's view of herself as inherently different than others. This is a way I felt about myself too, and similarly have found that being honest with others and expressing myself genuinely has been my path toward healing. Thank you for analyzing her so deeply and genuinely, I definitely want to marry her in my game next!!

I play Stardew with the help of an accessibility mod, so I often miss a lot of details about character visuals, settings, effects, etc. I new knew what was happening in Emily's dream scene (except for the text), and I never knew her dance event was so active -- I always assumed it was just her dancing for the farmer.

    In one hand, I like that there's flawed characters in Stardew that you can dislike so easily. On the other one, they did that man dirty, he could had been such a cool character whithout the "nice guy" aspect.
    Anyway, I apreciate the Shane mention in every video, you are so right, Emily can do better... Someone else can try to fix him.
    So far I'm astonished how similar I felt in my first run. Nice video! Next one sure is a fun one.
    Pd: hello?? The sweater you did for your fiance is so cuteee ♡ craft gifts are the sweetest

    I cannot describe how surreal it is to hear you say in this video that you have only 118 subscribers as of filming, and just over 800 at time of editing, and see that in the 3 weeks this video has been up youve reached 4.4 thousand. Obviously I'm sure it's much more surreal from your end but i guarantee it's deserved, these videos are all superb and i cannot wait to see what else you might post and talk about, you're extremely well spoken and also hilarious, and clearly passionate about SV

      @dmin5782 2 месяца назад +6

      The difference is magic. The dance she gives you seems to be an actual display of illusion magic, very similar to the mermaid's song in the night market.
      Emily herself has very mermaid-ish traits too, from her appearance to personality to even her themes.

    @demoige7948 4 месяца назад +12

    Love this series! Hope you'll continue afterwards with the non-romancables :)
    About Emilys care for the outsiders and healthy self-love: From my paedagogical point of view I agree, that this might've developed through experiences of being herself bullied and growing by that into self-love instead of hatred and taking venegance for her pain. I could also see the possibility that her and Haileys parents were a significant influence. Like she's copying the love and care for the parrot as she's experienced it in her childhood when she was comforted by her parents.
    And it's obviously what a huge self-esteem and self-love both Haileys and Emily have (in very different ways as open-minded or being harsh to everyone). Of course it's still a self-developed individual charactertrait, but as both of the sisters grew in that point to self-loving women, I could imagine an influence by the child-rearing of their parents :)

  • @annapreston6047
    @annapreston6047 2 месяца назад +3

    Someone else may have mentioned it, but Clint and Emily each have a line of dialogue after the event where he asks her out that confirms the "date" didn't go well. Clint will ask you if she said anything about it and then go "Actually no, don't tell me and let me keep my dignity." or something along those lines. Emily will tell you that he spilled a drink on himself in the first five minutes and then barely spoke to her for the rest of the night.
    It's not a final resolution because their dialogue with and about each other doesn't change after that point, but it does give some conclusion.

  • @sankta8578
    @sankta8578 4 месяца назад +5

    Also wanted to say I relate to Clint (not the incel vibes, just the reclusive introvert part) and I want to like him but he is sooooo unlikeable even though he reminds me of myself and how I acted in high school, admiring people I liked from afar without ever even trying to befriend them. It’s easier to stay in your shell than risk losing the comfort of it

  • @skeinkyknitter
    @skeinkyknitter Месяц назад +2

    Emily is Clint's manic pixie dream girl who is everything that Clint WANTS to be and have but can't make himself break out of his shell and be secure like Emily is, so he desires her and follows her because she is living the life that he wants for himself but ultimately can't have

I hadn't played in a while and didn't see a reason to pick it back up, but your videos reminded me there's still a lot to do enjoy even in regards to the characters. It's a game that helps me destress so easily. Your videos give the same feeling, really fun and relaxed.

    I've watched this, Abigail and Elliot's deep dive as I'm trying sooo hard not to spoil myself on characters I haven't romanced yet but DAMN I am so tempted to watch the Alex video - I love having stuff like this on while I eat or draw! Thank-you for all your hard work and I genuinely can't wait for more 💗

    haven't finished the video yet, but I've watched your other three and I just want to say I love this series so much. You have such a chill vibe - it's like a mix between listening to a video essay and listening to a friend infodump about their hyperfixation. Like there's a lot of thought and structure to these videos, but they also don't have that same pretentiousness that video essays can sometimes have, if that makes sense? Very fun to listen to, makes me want to get back into playing Stardew Valley even though I absolutely do not have the time for that lol

    Love the Emily dress! I kinda wish her portrait clothing looked more like her sprite dress.
    Spiritual energies, nature, and crafts are clearly her love languages. I always befriend her, but I've never dated or married her, so this was full of stuff I haven't had as much chance to explore.
    I really like her friendship with Shane. It feels like she's a positive influence on him. Not as powerful as the player, but still it's a sweet friendship. It's also quite a contrast from her "friendship" with Clint. It really drives home the problems with Clint.

    But honestly, I feel like a lot of Emily's "lackluster" heart scenes can be pretty much explained through how she wasn't originally intended to be romanceable.
    I've played since 1.0 and her cutscenes have remained the same up until 10 hearts, which is why they seem a bit random, out of place.
    Still love me a good deep dive trying to explain these things, don't get me wrong! 💓 Love Emily to bits, I was so relieved to see her become romanceable not too long after first release!

  • @kristofferlape
    @kristofferlape 3 месяца назад +1

    Loving this series. I finally dived into SDV in 1.6, and this digital marriage was a tricky decision. I'm a very spiritual person with a fascination for the occult as well, so I was really tied between Emily, Abigail, and Leah (she is very charming and her art is inspiring). I settled on Emily, but felt a bit lost in the marriage during the season. I think it was me not understanding her love language in the way you helped describe here. She's so sweet, but I'm afraid something is missing. If all else fails: Krobus. Nothing would connect me more to the occult than being roommates with a shadow person.
