the deepest dive into harvey from stardew valley

omg the way this video blew up was nuts. i had no idea harvey was like trending on tiktok bc of the hozier song 😭 my tiktok algorithm hasn't picked up on my stardew fixation which is a blessing bc every other aspect of my life is just stardew, it's nice to have a break

i really like this one but it's probably the one video i would redo if i could. number one i was way off with the colours. i promise it looked soooo good on my monitor but it's something about the codec or smth idk but it came out either super bright or super green so hate that for me. i stopped using HDR after this video lol. secondly bc my face is so shiny i find it so distracting!!!

thirdly most importantly bc of the 2 heart scene. it's hard bc no matter how many times i say 'this is my personal opinion as a player' or 'this is my player hat' some people don't take it that way. and that's fine! that's fine bc if you have an opinion i wanna hear it. but yano i wish i'd presented more of a counter argument, both sides of it. i did kinda revisit the subject in the penny video but that's a whole different video. although tbf that one has more views so i guess more people saw my revised opinion. i genuienly had an equal amount of people saying 'thank you for bringing that up i hate how george is treated' and 'well sometimes that's just necessary and for the best'. and i think the lesson i learned there that i brought into the penny vid was that for these like, sensitive or controversial scenes, i can't just present my opinion and assume people will get all the nuances. with the penny 2h scene i took HALF AN HOUR (to the point where someone commented that i was beating a dead horse lmao) meticulously crafting an argument and to be fair i still missed some stuff but i think that's a lot easier to engage in good faith with than me being like 'i hate this scene', even if i do make clear that it's just my opinion.

anyway i love harvey. he still doesn't make me feel the shane feelings lol but i have read some harvey fic and i loooooooooooove how people write him, like u go in the mines and he's so like protective of u and he's bandaging u up and his hands are shaking bc he's like traumatised or something and then u have to take care of him back ... like... that's some literature right there omg
