Stardew Valley - Attitudes And Opinions About Poppies

Stardew Valley, a game released in 2016, still has very high popularity and online player numbers. In the game, players can quickly improve friendships by giving gifts to various characters.

Of course, this is not absolute. Each character may have different opinions on different items, like, hate, or remain neutral. For example, when giving explosive ammo or other dangerous items to villagers, you will not get good feedback. This is also normal, after all, no villagers will like these. However, poppies also give negative feedback to all villagers. No character likes poppies, and the same is true for those villagers who love flowers.

Special Cases  Of Liking Poppies:

In fact, in addition to poppies, poppy honey and poppy seed muffins are still very popular with most villagers, and players can get positive feedback when giving these gifts. Poppies are different. Basically no character likes poppies, except Penny, who may have a special reason for liking poppies.

Explanation For Hating Poppies:

The story outside the valley may give an answer to why poppies are not liked by villagers. Villagers to the west may occasionally mention that there is a war going on between the "Ferngill Republic" and the "Gotoro Empire", although the specific information about this war is still ambiguous. However. What we know is that the characters in Stardew Valley are very clear about this event. And poppies remind these characters of this war.

Poppies are a symbol of commemorating soldiers who died in the war, so villagers don't like poppies to remind them of the ongoing war. And poppies also symbolize death, so they are not suitable as gifts for others.

Possible Reasons For Penny's Love Of Poppies:

Although most characters hate poppies, Penny is definitely not one of them. If she received a poppy as a gift, she would be very happy. As for the reason why she likes poppies, one of them may be her compassion and can't bear to see this flower being treated like this. Secondly, it may be that Penny really likes this kind of flower. After all, they are related to death, and poppies can remind Penny of many things. Thirdly, because the poppies were given by "me".

In any case, when considering giving gifts to enhance friendship, poppies are not a good choice.
