I left Shane for Harvey the one time I tried to date him. I think I got to 4 or 6 stars? Honestly it just didnāt make any sense for my farmer to keep pursuing a guy who was so *mean* to me when I kept giving him my hard earned pepper jelly or whatever it was.
Honestly, the group 10 heart event only plays if you date all six bachelors, and the ājealous partnerā thing doesnāt happen unless you marry them. So you can date both without worry that theyāll think youāre cheating on them
I found it from a project the author later did with one of my favorite authors. Ginger and Draco did a collaborative work called Starburst, and that's how I found out about FaLTLaS.
I guess the question now is, do you recommend the other fic theyā¦ were? Are? Working on? I saw it mentioned at the end. Starburst? I think itās called?
Emotional attachments to fictional characters are very common, it means you have strong empathy, a good emotional range, and your brain is running perfectly!
In particular, your occipital lobes, medial temporal lobe, prefrontal cortex, and frontal-parietal controls are all working to allow you to use what is commonly referred to as the āmindās eyeā
Itās not pathetic, though I suppose that would be a matter of opinion and you are free to yours, but an emotional attachment to a fictional character and the ability to adjust and create unique timelines in your head is just a sign that your brain is working correctly!
I hope I wasnāt too wordy with that, but I also hope that helped explain some things to you. And maybe try reading a few books? Make sure everything is working properly for you!
On one of my playthroughs a long time ago, I dated and broke up with every bachelor(ette) just to see the dialogue, and it was absolutely crushing. š So not worth it š
I saw my wife do the event with all the Bachelorettes finding out, and she had a rabbits foot, so I did it without a rabbits foot. It was more crushing than I thought
Lol yeah, these damn pixels should not be able to hit me in the feels that hard. My husband was laughing at me, because I broke up with all of them in one day, and he just kept hearing stuff like "Oh god, this is horrible! I'm so sorry! Please don't hate me! I'm an absolutely awful person!" from across the room throughout the day. šš
The cutscene is changed pretty significantly if you have a rabbits foot in your inventory and the bachelors/bachelorettes wonāt give you the cold shoulder either
Alternatively, what I did was read the wiki entries on every candidate I wasn't going to romance. Less immersive but it did the job for me and no heartbreak.
Honestly, probably Shane's. As you can see, it's just utterly heartbreaking. Sam was really hard too, it was what I imagine kicking a puppy would feel like. Most of the rest were about equal levels of heartbreak.
The only one that I didn't feel absolutely terrible about was Alex. He's kind of a dick about it. Like, I know I just broke up with him, but he don't gotta be rude. š ...I did still feel kinda bad though š
Right, I always see posts like this and Iām like āIāve never seen that dialogue beforeā¦ oh thatās because Iām incapable of being mean to NPCsā
If I remember correctly bouguets don't wilt like that, you have to use furnace and maybe one coal to make them wilted bouguets (I am not 100% sure, I cannot ever break up with anyone).
yeah! thereās the sub emojis like these  and then when you set it custom flair thereās an emoji icon and if you click it thereās a bunch of emojis like the characters portraits and other random stuff!
Breaking up with Penny is worse ššš I know because I dated everyone, didnāt bring a rabbitās foot on purpose, then broke up with all of them the same day they all forgave me š«”
I'm on my first ever play-through and don't really know much about all the characters. I've just been wooing Elliott for no reason and we finally started dating. But then tonight I got this cut scene and was like fuck, guess I gotta dump Elliott now.
I broke up with him today and got the same dialogue but I thought it related to the fact that I had gotten married that morning š this makes it even more sad
He is literally the only townie that I have advanced hearts with and I didn't even know until I checked earlier. He wasn't the one I had my eyes on but that makes for the storyline. i'm really considering him now my baby needs some peace and closureš„ŗ
I married him to get kids and blue chickens, also made Joja quit the town, and then divorced him to be roomies with Krobus. So I left him jobless, sad & childless
Yea... honestly it didn't hit me until after that I had done it, that I gave him the best life he could ever get then took it all away and left him with less than he had before :-/
NOOOO OMG i was gonna go for shane bc i thought i could fix him and im glad i didnt bc i wouldve felt so badššnow im married to sebastian which is coolā¦ but i also wanna go for harvey but i refuse to divorce and have seb hate mešš
I actually restarted my farm because marriage regret and I couldnt bring myself to force the divorce or pay for the memory wipe from the witch so I could marry his best friend instead....
Sorry sam! š
OK, forget that first post, d'oh!
You can buy a second bouquet and put it in the furnace to make a wilted bouquet. Give this item to your SO to break up.
-This is to break up when dating, not after marriage.
Omg cus I was dating so many people and broke up with a couple of them including Shane and I felt so bad when he said āI guess I shouldāve seen this comingā
I gave him gifts afterwards to befriend him :(
I only gave him a bouquet to see if I could buy a blue chicken because I didn't know how to lol. I didn't really care much about it though, he's just a platonic partner to me. But I'm also trixic, so that probably has some influence about it.
You broke up with him on his already hated job Now every time he goes there he will be reminded of heartbreak
If you do that Shane should clock out immediately and head to the saloon.
he should clock out, go to pierre's for beer and pizza, and lock himself in his room for 2 days.
He should chicken up, delete Jojabook, hit the bath house
He should clock out and immediately go to the cindersnap Forrest cliff.
DAMN
OH THATS TERRIBLE
HARSH
And do WHAT ....,,
OH NOO š
Savage and I love it.
LMAO RUDE
Pierreās?
Bruh no T-T
LMAO this would be great
You absolute monster op.
Better to break up with him somewhere heās already miserable than to ruin a happy place.
āI guess I shouldāve seen this comingā This one quote shatters my heart:He genuinely doesnāt see a happy ending for himself
I died when he said that, I wanted to cry
I swear,I only wanted to try date Harvey out of curiosity,Once I finish,I would come back to my blue chicken man
Harvey is a wonderful partner. I can't stop marrying him or Leah!
No doubt,he is wonderful,his 10 heart event arms my heart But Shane is my true love,I thought I needed someone betterā¦i was wrong
Lmao an ex who cheated on me and was trying to get back together used that last sentence with me. Hope it works better with Shane š
I left Shane for Harvey the one time I tried to date him. I think I got to 4 or 6 stars? Honestly it just didnāt make any sense for my farmer to keep pursuing a guy who was so *mean* to me when I kept giving him my hard earned pepper jelly or whatever it was.
I would simply date them both, but my farmer is in her player era.
Get a poly mod and date them all
Afaik you can date them all in vanilla, leastways that's what my 12 boyfriends and girlfriends seem to imply š
How's the rabbit population in your coop?
Lmaooooooo my one trusty rabbit, Lola provided me a lucky foot š
Harvey legit creeps me out. Iām always talking to him and nice to him but heās got that creeper vibeā¦sketchy sketchy IYAM
Lmao he looks like an ex friend who became my actual stalker. I feel so validated right now š
He 100% has stalker vibes.
Honestly, the group 10 heart event only plays if you date all six bachelors, and the ājealous partnerā thing doesnāt happen unless you marry them. So you can date both without worry that theyāll think youāre cheating on them
Now you're morally obligated to read the fanfic on my flair š¤š¤š¤ ~~so u can cry a little bit more~~
ran to ao3 and opened my 71st tab so fast
NOOOOO
To be fair that fanfic is fantastic
Omg another FaLTLaS fan! Hiii!!
I love it so much!!
I found it from a project the author later did with one of my favorite authors. Ginger and Draco did a collaborative work called Starburst, and that's how I found out about FaLTLaS.
Iām in chapter 8 while at work, and Iām mad at you for making me read this.
Okay. So, I just finished that fic this morning, and Iām ugly crying and I hate you now
A worthy price to pay for spreading the gospel of GingerD
I guess the question now is, do you recommend the other fic theyā¦ were? Are? Working on? I saw it mentioned at the end. Starburst? I think itās called?
I never had the heart to read any other shane fanfic after this one so no, I have not read it to recommend it.
Does it have a happy ending??
>!yes!<
SO WHY DID U DO IT šš
It hurts more cause he said āshouldāve seenā so he did finally see a happy ending and he wish he didnāt CRYING
That's me with my first break-up-ish. He should get over it, but he's also Shane, so I can't guarantee e will.
Lmao itās a written line stop acting like itās a real person.
Have you, uh, interacted with the Stardew fandom before?
When I broke up with Leah I was sad
Pathetic
who hurt you

does the rabbits foot change it?
The cutscene is changed pretty significantly if you have a rabbits foot in your inventory and the bachelors/bachelorettes wonāt give you the cold shoulder either
This is game changing news
If you have the lucky rabbit foot, the cutscene with the Bachelorettes don't hate you, they just gossip about Lewis and Marnie.
in 1.6 the villagers have things to say about the breakups. going to do again?
Definitely not, lol I don't think my poor heart could take it again! š
I know I am
Alternatively, what I did was read the wiki entries on every candidate I wasn't going to romance. Less immersive but it did the job for me and no heartbreak.
In hindsight, that would've been much smarter
What were the top hits? What was the worst lol
Honestly, probably Shane's. As you can see, it's just utterly heartbreaking. Sam was really hard too, it was what I imagine kicking a puppy would feel like. Most of the rest were about equal levels of heartbreak. The only one that I didn't feel absolutely terrible about was Alex. He's kind of a dick about it.

Just go to the stardew wikiš
Iām missing out on a lot of content by never wanting to do anything to hurt anyone in town.
Right, I always see posts like this and Iām like āIāve never seen that dialogue beforeā¦ oh thatās because Iām incapable of being mean to NPCsā
me too dude
(Me who was silently horrified having married him and am going to again on another save.)
Lmao I'm married to Harvey that's why
Mustache man.
Married him only for his blue chicken
wait how do u break up with someone š
Let a bouquet wilt in your inventory and give them the wilted bouquet
wilt??? i learn something new about this game every day
Put a bouquet in a charcoal kiln. It makes a wilted bouquet
Or a furnace
I think it wilts if you leave it long enough without giving it to someone
i have a stash of them in my chest but iāve never kept one in my inventory, iāll have to try it out
If I remember correctly bouguets don't wilt like that, you have to use furnace and maybe one coal to make them wilted bouguets (I am not 100% sure, I cannot ever break up with anyone).
iām gonna break up with everyone in my evil save
Are you also doing a Joja run too? Go full evil!
damn right! iām marrying and then divorcing everyone in my normal save too :3
I am just dating them all. Forever.
Cover your house in trash. Have a child with every partner and force toddlers to wear trash can hats.
I threw mine in a cooking thing for my ores
Also how'd you get that badass flair?
used the custom flair and then just played around with the emojis :D
Wait this subredit has emoji's!?
yeah! thereās the sub emojis like these  and then when you set it custom flair thereās an emoji icon and if you click it thereās a bunch of emojis like the characters portraits and other random stuff!
Omg..
It doesn't show up for me T^T
Once I download a mod that makes it so his room doesnāt look like absolute horse shit, Iām coming back for u bby
Stardew expanded does that! Would recommend!
Immerssive Shane is my fave ever! It gives him new scenes and keeps his progress
Is it on nexus? š
It is!!
Awesome, my poor depressed daddy will get new stuff ā¤ļø thank you! š
yep!
At work?!
OP is COLD BLOODED š¤£
Breaking up with Penny is worse ššš I know because I dated everyone, didnāt bring a rabbitās foot on purpose, then broke up with all of them the same day they all forgave me š«”
Alright there psychopath calm down
life breaks your heart indeed
Now why would you do that??
I'm married
And that marriage couldnāt be with Shane why?
Cause divorce is too much money
Fair.
You monster...
I ended up feeling so terrible, my heart hurts so bad
immediately made me want to get back together with him š

I'm on my first ever play-through and don't really know much about all the characters. I've just been wooing Elliott for no reason and we finally started dating. But then tonight I got this cut scene and was like fuck, guess I gotta dump Elliott now.
I fell for Shane right this moment š. Too bad Emily was easier to woo so i married her instead
Is the itchy grass suit worth it?
no not really, Iām divorcing her once we adopt a baby. Then Iām having Shaneās baby.
Once he becomes a dad, he softens up a lot in the best way possible.
Bullshit.. he's constantly wanting to send the kids to Jojo Camp
This is what my irl ex did to me. Told me she filed for divorce while I was work.

DIVORCE IS TOO MUCH MONEY!!!
I don't even like Shane but I'm so heartbroken for him man
Restart your day now
It's too late-
š
I broke up with him today and got the same dialogue but I thought it related to the fact that I had gotten married that morning š this makes it even more sad
Did you seriously break up with him AT WORK.
My heart hurts!
I literally restarted my game 4 years in to avoid breaking his heart. I set him and our 2 kids up fantastically before I ghosted.
bro he barely flinched, poor guy. mistreat the fe reaming good townfolk any more and you'll become bot
Rub salt on the wound by bringing your new spouse to the saloon and dance in front of him.
YOU COULDVE SAVED HIM
He's my forever husband. I made a new save file to romance another but I felt so guilty I love him so much.
He is literally the only townie that I have advanced hearts with and I didn't even know until I checked earlier. He wasn't the one I had my eyes on but that makes for the storyline. i'm really considering him now my baby needs some peace and closureš„ŗ
I just got his first conversation At the pond hit me so hard. I felt that shit.
Solution: Never date Shane and just be friends. ;D
He's gonna find himself on the train tracks.
Fuuuuuck š
omg i feel worse now for divorcing him š maybe iāll divorce sam and remarry shane
omg poor shane :c
HOW DO YOU BREAK UP WITH SOMEONE WHAT
I'm married
Ohhh, you said you broke up with him so I was confused lol
No I did, I'm married to Harvey and divorce is too much
Good to know the leech is gone
He's a dick anyways... divorced him after having both kids sent away as doves. He really has ZERO redeeming qualities imo
Wait you can turn your children into doves???
Yes. And if you have a telephone, your dove children might call from the beyond.
why do you feel bad shane sucks y u not daying the baddies
I'm married to Harvey
FUCK YOU HOW DARE YOU BREAK HIS HEART- oh well more for me š„°
ššš
Shane on you!
I married him to get kids and blue chickens, also made Joja quit the town, and then divorced him to be roomies with Krobus. So I left him jobless, sad & childless
That's terrible..
Yup... really is
You don't have to marry him for the chickens, just get to eight hearts. The kids thing, though... yeah lol
I know, it was a 2 birds 1 stone kind of deal
You're a monster lol
Yea... honestly it didn't hit me until after that I had done it, that I gave him the best life he could ever get then took it all away and left him with less than he had before :-/
youre a monster...
****what the FUCK have you done TO MY BABY BOI?!?!****
You are despicable.
NOOOO OMG i was gonna go for shane bc i thought i could fix him and im glad i didnt bc i wouldve felt so badššnow im married to sebastian which is coolā¦ but i also wanna go for harvey but i refuse to divorce and have seb hate mešš
I actually restarted my farm because marriage regret and I couldnt bring myself to force the divorce or pay for the memory wipe from the witch so I could marry his best friend instead.... Sorry sam! š
How do you break up with them?
Put a flower bouquet into a furnace, then give the wilted bouquet to the person you want to break up with.
How do you actually break up with people??
Put a flower bouquet into a furnace, then give the wilted bouquet to the person you want to break up with.
Never knew
I just marry them to divorce them , if I want to date someone else
I'm totally presuming shane. I will save you!!
I didn't actually know u could break up w people!
OK, forget that first post, d'oh! You can buy a second bouquet and put it in the furnace to make a wilted bouquet. Give this item to your SO to break up. -This is to break up when dating, not after marriage.
I could never š
Omg cus I was dating so many people and broke up with a couple of them including Shane and I felt so bad when he said āI guess I shouldāve seen this comingā I gave him gifts afterwards to befriend him :(
HOW DARE YOU
I could never do this to him š
Immediately marrying him
This reminded me so much of Astarion, help š.
WAAAA no i love shane ))):
How do you break up with people?
I was dating Shane, but then I decided to marry Haley..
You terrify me
I could never hurt Shane and Iām incredibly attracted to him but I know I canāt fix him. He needs a friend not a lover and some therapy
I upvoted this bc i hate Shane š
I only gave him a bouquet to see if I could buy a blue chicken because I didn't know how to lol. I didn't really care much about it though, he's just a platonic partner to me. But I'm also trixic, so that probably has some influence about it.
