Stardew Valley's 'Honorable' Dialogue Explained
Stardew Valley's enigmatic Mr. Qi offers the most hardworking and honorable players a line of alternate dialogue when completing Skull Cavern.
On Reddit, user legumecanine shared an image of the adorable recreation of Stardew Valley's 
Bouquet that they've been working hard on crocheting. According to the fan, they made the bouquet to ask someone to become their boyfriend. It's a pretty cute nod to the game's romantic ritual. While the player could have crocheted any kind of flower, they based the individual flowers off of some of those that can be found in the game, like the 
Fairy Rose, 
Blue Jazz, and Poppies, by adapting crochet patterns from the same or similar flowers in real life.
Stardew Valley Fans Respond to Charming Bouquet
Those in the comments have been thoroughly amused and charmed by this effort and display. Many fans of Stardew Valley have bonded with others while playing the game over the years, so tender gestures like these tend to go over well with fans. The OP hasn't yet said if their feelings were accepted, but based on the information provided in their original post, it seems like they won't have to worry about that.
While Stardew Valley fans have previously made waves by proposing to their significant others with real-world replicas of the 
Mermaid's Pendant, the Stardew Valley item for signifying interest in marriage, a hand-crafted bouquet like the one from the game is a bit more rare. Even so, it brought the Mermaid's Pendant to mind for some of those looking at the post, with fellow fans musing about the OP's romantic interest someday showing up with one in order to propose.
Combining romantic gestures and one's favorite game series has become a somewhat common method of proposing, with gamers basing marriage proposals off of everything from Wordle to Pokemon. ConcernedApe's title may see these romantic gestures a bit more often, though, given that Stardew Valley multiplayer partners can marry each other in-game.
