I Do Hate Kel - Tumblr Posts
I saw your blurb with Kent and thought maybe you might be willing to write for some of the other non-marriageable NPCs. This is really embarrassing because I know how everyone feels about him, and you definitely don't have to write it if you hate him too, but may I request for Clint? I really like your list of the bachelor/ettes after achieving their dreams, and I obsessively upgrade my tools so I've built up a friendship with him faster than the other NPCs, and some of his dialogue made me really sad. Soooo what do you think he would've done if his dad didn't force him into being a blacksmith? godthisaskissolongandembarrassingimsorry
A lot of people don’t even bother with him at all, which—fair, but I was curious, so the second I could enter his bedroom, I made my farmer riffle through his things and poke around his place. He’s got a nice picture of his mother in his drawers(which is admittedly a strange place to put it), and the radio on one of his dressers is set to play a blues collection, so this is what I came up with. :)
Clint became a blues singer. He’s not being handed awards at every turn, sure, but he’s got a good thing going for himself. His mother is his biggest supporter, and he’s been able to give her everything he never could as a kid, but his father refused to speak to him for turning his back on the family business, all the way up to his death. Clint thinks about him constantly. Many of his songs revolve around his father, and how he struggles to manage his grief over their broken bond. There were lots of things left unsaid, and too many what-ifs. As far as his social life goes, he still lives in Pelican Town, and he's pretty conversational with the other townspeople. He talks to everybody, but he seems to have close friendships with Gus, Emily, and Shane. Sometimes he’ll hang around Elliott and Willy, because they both know a bit about music themselves, and expanding his creative influences is good for his career. They’re also good conversationalists.
