#tw self harm scars

their resemblance is showing ✨

the stardew update hit just when i needed it, and i just gave sebbie the bouquet in my file, so here’s the farmer dropping in on him at his desk. let’s talk about the power of farmboy love

i’ve been struggling with the concept of self-harm lately, and have for most of my life, so making this was mostly a well-timed comfort piece. but it’s also a scene i’d pictured for awhile; a sticky summer evening in the usual lake spot, one of the first times sebastian was close enough to the farmer to see him in detail, and therefore connect in such a grim, silent way. it feels like a bit of a confession, somehow, mixed with a yearning for, and to, comfort.
