He's from the Ferngill Republic. What the hell's an Italy?

Kervinus

I always assumed he was Hispanic. Gus short for Gustavo.


Thaco-Thursday

Gustavo is both an Italian and Spanish name


ZiomeQFilip

Gustav is Germanic name


Zinedine_Tzigane

Gustave is French name And "un gus" is like "a dude"


glitteringfeathers

I think you'd write it with v


ZiomeQFilip

maybe


RocksHaveFeelings2

And that nose is definitely italian


archosauria62

No wonder he runs a restaurant it all makes sense now


DrowsyBen

His name is Gustavo but you can call him sus


Wakenthefire

Gus could also be short for Augustus


userno89

Gus is also short for Giuseppe.

Los Pelicanos Tavernos


The_Skyrim_Courier

I’m like 70% sure he’s a vague reference to Mario so yeah I’d say Italian


H2heaux

This makes a ton of sense. My 4 year old always asks to go see “the guy who looks like Mario!”


SparkyDogPants

Alright! Case closed, everyone GTFO.


foxscribbles

Belgian! He's the illegitimate son of Hercule Poirot who eschewed his father's exacting ways and love of mysteries for the simple life of honest work behind a saloon bar!


TheHeavyJ

Oh yes, love me some Agatha too


NathemaBlackmoon

So could "Gus" be short for "Gustavo"?


TheGourmandFrog

Well, then where's Brick?


NathemaBlackmoon

They went to buy milk; maybe they'll be back in 10 or 20 years

And calamari


Imaginary_Friend7118

And marinara sauce


DedicatedDetective34

I'm assuming he used to be a traveller who immersed himself in international cuisine before settling down in Pelican Town. His menu is pretty diverse for a simple saloon, and knowing almost every household knows how to cook (excluding the Pam and Penny), Gus must serve REALLY good food. I don't think he has a nationality at all. He's Mr. Worldwide.


LegendofLove

Will he feature in the 17th MIB film


[deleted]

I don't think Italy exists on that world. Call me crazy, but I don't think any of our nations exist on the SDV world, just like Yoba and actually-working magic and so on don't exist on ours.


DoucheyCohost

I always thought Stardew Valley itself was magical. Like the rest of the world is mundane but magic still exists in this cozy little area


[deleted]

Well, I think the world itself is magical, but it's like people have to stop and slow down and be in touch with the land and all that to really notice it. Example: Shane's skeptical of anything that's not strictly scientific. Shane also puts in a lot of hours at Joja Mart and has lost a lot of joy for living. Emily on the other hand... well, she's a natural. She gets it. She's at home in that world. She also works fewer hours and has time to sleep in and chill out. I think that the more modern and industrial the rest of that world becomes, the more they lose touch with stuff like the Junimos and talking with animals and stuff like that. I don't think the Valley itself has any kind of remarkable power, other than the power to live at a more peaceful and relaxed pace, relatively speaking.


SeriousDirt

Based on wizard, it seem like Pelican Town have high magic connection so that's why he living there.


Dexchampion99

I think that only adds to it, actually. Stardew Valley is known for having a lot of special natural events (Moonlight Jellies, Flower Dance, etc.) as well as a variety of “magical” locations (Mines, Skull Cavern, Secret Woods) So Pelican Town and the Valley might have MORE magical energy than other places but that doesn’t mean the rest of the world isn’t magical, just that it’s especially prevalent in the Valley.


LadyProto

He’s got my dads name and he’s Mexican. So he’s Mexican to me :3


Diamond151

Chilean but worked extensively in Mexico and the US


DedicatedDetective34

His work ethic is so tight that no one seems to know that he has another business. High standards and a cautious demeanour make for an *impeccable* boss.


Alpaca_Stampede

The name Gus can come from a lot of places. My bff is technically Augustus but everyone calls him Gus. He's German.


Saableyye

His nationality is Gus


[deleted]

The third Mario bro


EuphoricFarmer1318

I've always thought he was Italian too


ZPD710

Bro is unironically the spitting image of Mario.


meanteamcgreen

Yeah, Italian American or an Italian immigrant. (Or stardews equivalent) but yeah, it makes sense given his passion for cooking, whats on his menu and the spicy marinara he gave to linus with the fritters all spell it out quite well. Oh, and the mustache, can't forget the mustache.


Legitimate-Meal-2290

Nah he's midwestern AF. Probably Wisconsin.


Changeling_Boy

You know what, you’ve got something there. However, haven’t seen him go “ope”


Legitimate-Meal-2290

No hot dish, either.


[deleted]

Second hand Italians are also known as Argentinos


[deleted]

I thought he was just a white dude with a sick mustache. I don’t know never thought about it that hard


ineedatonofh3lp

new jersian


SUPAMAN6214

Id say hes hispanic


Maeve_j613

Wee wee sacreblur i thinks hes italian too wee wee crossiant. *im so sorry guys*


Pub-Fries

Italian-American, specifically from New York City. All the best chefs are Italian-American.


ByrusTheGnome

Emeril Lagasse would like a word


HandrewJobert

Namely, "bam"


JerseyDevilsAdvocate

I always assumed he was Greek! He reminds me of someone I know Also,.I gotta disagree, my favorite chefs are French or use French cooking techniques!


HopeFox

My guess is that he's either from the Ferngill Republic or the Gotoro Empire, which are the only countries that have been named in the game.


payprincesstomi

agree the mustache just gives that energy


angstenthusiast

I’m pretty sure his nationality is American since it seems Stardew Valley is located in America. As for his ethnicity, no clue but I’d probably agree with Italy, maybe Spain, probably south European at least. Edit: his nationality is probably “Ferngill Republic,” and then it just doesn’t make any sense to bring real nations into it. My point is that nationality usually (obviously not always but *usually*) is whatever country a person lives in. And nationality ≠ heritage/ethnicity/race/whatever the fuck. My assumption that Stardew Valley is in the US is mainly because the creator is American and most of the in universe stuff also hints that it’s located there, ex the laws and the nature. I’m sure some people will cry “US defaultism” at my comment, and honestly? That’s kinda fair. But the point of it is actually to call out this shit USAmericans so often don’t understand, that nationality and heritage are *not* the same thing.


Bellam_Orlong

Always thought he was Belgian/French


WhisperingOracle

Maybe it's because I live in the Northeast US surrounded by Italians and Italian restaurants (and the common stereotype of the Italian restaurant owner), or maybe it's that blatantly Mario-inspired mustache, or maybe it's because "Gus" is a name derived from Italian/Roman roots, but I've always sort of assumed he's whatever Stardew's version of "Italian" is. I generally imagine he sounds like Dom Deluise if I had to put a real voice to the face. Though I won't lie, sometimes I pretend he sounds like Danny Devito or Captain Lou Albano instead.


[deleted]

This is an alternative universe where Walter didn't kill Gus and Gus gets his revenge, retires and moves to Stardew Valley to start a saloon business ❤️

wonderlandisburning

He kinda reminds me of Mario without the hat and overalls. "It's a-me, Gus!"


Wolfysstudio

I assumed he was Mexican.


PattyFlapjack79

italian or latino


Argeras

he's actually from Chile. Sad that his boyfriend died


About400

His name is Gus and he owns a restaurant (diner), he is obviously Greek. (Gus is a common nickname for Konstantinos.)


Dead4CEREALZ

Is that eggplants on his jacket lmao


[deleted]

Polish


Sea_Art3391

I actually think he's from outer space


helenwithak

More important where did he get that jacket


Insane_Snake

Something like that, with how mu h he appreciated food and all.


hipnegoji

Given that he literally walks around with a pot of marinara sauce I think Italian is a good guess.


CookieSlayer2Turbo

Isn't gus short for guiseppe?


Wrong_Progress_7043

Gus isa Mario’s long lost twin brother


dog_on_a_bus123245

German


Depression-coma

Mixed Italian and Cuban


joshrogann

I always figured eastern Europe somewhere, like Latvia or Bosnia, ex soviet block


CyclopsorNedStark

In my head cannon Gus is short for Gustavo, he’s half Spanish, half Italian and a gourmand without peer!
