{ Responding to this }

Snap Sondoria could no longer bare to sit through and watch this pest of a Pokemon continue speaking to her mother like that. While she may not know the 'why', she is somewhat aware of what he is doing. And she absolutely hates it. She despises it to the point that she wants this Sylveon hybrid to be chucked straight into the depths of Earth's core. Oh how she would love for his smug face to be melted off. That way, that irritating expression of his would never to be seen again. The Celestial Eevee exposed her teeths, as she released a low-pitched, deep throat growl. To her, she had just about enough of this charade. She was trembling, as Sondoria is just about ready to blow up. So, not holding it in any longer, she let her anger burst out. Spewing a slew of non-literal fire at Lief's general direction. "Shut up! Quit being an absolute Tauros turd already!"

"Sondoria, no." Symania frowned as she turn back to face towards one of her daughters. Disapproving of the princess's outburst. "Please, refrain from acting out to our visitor.

"Can you not see that this stupid idiot is looking down on you mom?!? First he whines about not being taken to the landmarks, even though he never asked to be escorted. Then he disregards your words, even though he was JUST complaining about needing to be convinced. And then, THEN, this careless flying Rattata decided to call you a nerd. A NERD! Mom, he is trying to insult you!" Sondoria turned to face Lief once more. "Disrespectful Pokemon like you needs to be BANISHED!! GONE! DISAPPEARED FOREVER!"

"Sondoria Orym Malvaniel, that is enough!" Symania would slam her paw down, as her body fully face its direction towards the oldest daughter. The queen couldn't tolerate the outcry coming from the mouth of the princess. The very princess who is meant to be well-behaved to outsiders. "This discourteous behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. I won't allow this to go on, Sondoria.".

"!! Mom, he--"

"I am aware and unbothered of the matter. He is still a visitor, Sondoria. He, as many other Pokemon, is rightfully justified to be within my kingdom. What is undeserving is him being spoken so ill-mannered by someone who should of been more mature. My dear, I've taught you to be the better Pokemon in such circumstances and to not dwindle yourself to cause conflicts. Aggression will only grant poor resolutions…"

"…" All this Celestial Eevee could do was pout. Swiftly turning her head away, as she didn't wish to have her disapproving eyes be seen by her mother. She didn't appreciate being spoken like this in public. Especially in front of him. And yet, despite not feeling too please with the words, she didn't try to protest. As much as a hard pill as it is, she didn't quite fully disagree with Symania. Well… While she feels like Lief didn't deserve of her mother's patience, nor time of day, Sondoria didn't find herself rejecting at the thought that maybe she was being a little too aggressive with her words. Maybe…

Soon enough, her starry eyes would slow drift towards back to Lief. That self-thought about her aggression had already been washed away, once her eyes met back with the Bug-Fairy Pokemon. Her feelings of annoyance rising back up once more.

Her eyes, of what she saw first is..

The face. That cheeky, self-satisfying face. Sondoria still hates seeing Lief's little expression. Oh how she just wanted to punch that look off of him. Every fiber of her being just wanted to deal with him herself. Just… If she could bite him, be it on the leg or that dainty wings of him, maybe that could teach him a lesson to not be this careless of the royals. Perhaps… Just one bite…

Before the princess could even do anything, the queen would stand forth between both Lief and Sondoria. It is as if she was read like a book. Then again, her sheer obvious expressions and the chomping motion says it all… Her intentions became rather clear to the present audience of what she was attempting to do. Or moreso, the very least, was planning to do. All Symania could do was release a deep sigh from between her lips. Unapproved of this behavior. Without another word of lecture, she would face her head towards the youngest.

"Ondorus, my dear. May you kindly escort our visitor to seeing the sights of our landmarks? I'll need to hold a proper discussion with your sister…"

The young prince gasped. His eyes widen, the singular pupil of his would shine with pure glee. He would seem that he really couldn't contain his absolute joy, as Ondorus tail was swaying back and forth in great speed. Never has he ever been given such a big task before! Well… At least to him, it would seem to be like something that holds of incredible importance. Before he could declare his excitement and gracefully accept this, Nuria would seem to speak up. Seemingly beating him to his words.

"… I can take and show him around.". Alas, Nuria wouldn't dare try to express or state why she suddenly became the one to offer to be the one to escort Lief. Especially considering that the task was given to her younger brother. Much to the dismay of Ondorus, as it was something that he greatly looked forward to doing. "I'll show him the areas you've mentioned."

However, despite of such a lovely offer, Symania could only decline with a shake of a head. "No, Nuria. I need you to remain here. I need to hold a proper discussion with you as well. Now, Ondorus. Please take out lovely visitor around.".

Even though Nuria wishes to speak out about this, she already saw how the scene already played out between Symania and Sondoria. So, she chooses to not speak further. Knowing that things wouldn't lead towards her way anyways.

Ondorus excitement rose once more, as he would shake his head up and down like a bobble toy. Without wanting to let this opportunity go, head would bounce upwards and direct himself towards the western path. "Come, come, mister! I'll take you alllllll over to see the fun places!". His toothy smile was shining as bright as the stars. Revealing how utterly happy he is to be able to lead Lief throughout the kingdom. Indeed, he was definitely looking forward to taking Lief all around Valinthea. The young prince surely wants to ensure that his best will make the Simbobeon very happy. Or at least, he hopes that he can bring in some form of cheeriness. Even if just for a bit!

Hello, @kyalpiko​! I’m your Rune Factory Secret Santa!  I heard you are an Ondorus fan, and I was so excited to draw him for you.  I love the Univir Settlement in Rune Factory 3 and could listen to the music for hours.  I hope you enjoy! 🥰

[bollgrodan]

I wonder what Micah is hiding?

[bokumonocosplay]

Ondorus has been scanned!

This is the last art book reference (for now)

[kardia-library-official]

He would stay up all night reading an argument between two strangers on an obscure subreddit dedicated to some random activity he just heard of an hour ago.

[sunshinemoonrx]

Let's all look at some Ondoru today for old times' sake

[ask-the-royal-absol]

There was a loud, childish gasp as Ondorus immediately bolted his way towards Destino. His eyes glimmered with excitement, as he observed all around the specimen. "!!!Aaaaa, you look so fluffy and cool and awesome and blue and, and--".

Whoa there buddy. The little celestial Eevee had to take a quick breather, as it would seem he couldn't contain his immediate admiration. It may either be because he is intrigued by the sight of an Absol or is just simply particularly interested in Dark types.

Nevertheless...

Before he could say anything, he took notice of something. Something that he couldn't jelp but ask and point out. "Oh, mister! You look like you have some wet boogies on your eyes! Did something happen? Orrrrrr did you had one of those long good or bad sleepy mee-mees that make your eyes get the icky boogers on them?"

*Oh great. A child. Destino’s favourite. The prime couldn’t help but feel disgusted at the excitement. Of course they appreciated the praise, what Pokémon wouldn’t? But it was everything else about this child’s demeanour that made Destino want to gag. Time to add a little drama. Make this child feel bad. Bonus points if they made this child cry.*

Destino: It’s like none of you choose to listen. What’s the point in me even picking a gender if none of you can follow it? Does being the Prime of the Underdark mean nothing to you?! Come on! I just did a whole gender explanation presentation like an hour or so ago. It was an entire thing. Silhouettes and all. It even had colours. Do I need to go through it all again?

*They pause their dramatic arm waving and gesturing to take a good, long look at the eevee in front of them. A claw rests on their chin, whilst they make a small humming sound.*

Destino: Actually, wait. Just taking one look at you says it all. How could I have not seen it sooner? You’re an idiot. I doubt anything goes into that thick skull of yours. I would ask if there’s a shred of intelligence in you but I doubt you even know what that word means. Is there a brain in there? Anything at all? Considering how you talk to royalty, I really doubt it. Let me say this for you really slowly so your tiny brain can understand what the deal is.

*Destino holds up their middle claw of their left paw.*

Destino: On this side, we have a man.

*They hold up their right paw, displaying another middle claw for the eevee.*

Destino: This right here is a woman.

*Destino brings the two middle claws together and waves them around, very proudly displaying the rude gesture.*

Destino: And that’s me. Gender? I don’t see her. I’m far too amazing for that. Does your simple brain understand now? Or does the little baby need some time to process?

Destino: And do you come up to every Pokémon and talk about their lack of sleep? What’s up with that? And right after I’ve woken up with no sleep due to my prophecy dreams too. Why look at my face that closely? I mean, I get it. I’m clearly the most beautiful absol you’ve ever laid your eyes on. Everyone can recognise that fact, young and old. But there’s this little thing called personal space. Someone as idiotic as yourself should be able to understand that basic concept. Honestly, what a poor impression you’ve made of yourself. If you were trying to gain my approval, you clearly have no idea how to do it.

*Destino hoped Felix wasn’t listening in. They knew he’d never approve of them bullying a child. But it was so much fun being dramatic. They really didn’t care at all; they just utterly despised children.*

Star's Rune Factory 3 Special 1st Playthrough, Part 2: Quality of Life

Hello, everyone! Back at it again with blogging my first run of Rune Factory 3 Special and I have a lot to talk about since my last post.

So I've already beaten the second boss AKA Skelefang and the seasons are just about to change from spring to summer. As far as the cast goes, I've already got some characters that I love, some that I despise, and some who my opinions have shifted over time for better or for worse. Definitely the two that stand out for me are Shara and Gaius. Gaius, had he been a datable bachelor, would have been my first choice among the single boys in this game. I'm one of the fandom's resident Arthur simps, I married Martin during my one playthrough of RF5, and "dwarf blacksmith who loves forging so much he forgets to sell his weapons and falls asleep if he lets go of his hammer" meets all the standards that those two have set as some of the franchise's resident workaholics. (Why does this keep happening? Seriously?)

As for Shara, I'm very well aware of all the hate she got in the past for having been pushed as the game's canon candidate and with what I've seen so far... I absolutely love her. Of the available bachelorettes, her personality is by far the least quirky and most down to earth of the girls, and she is just so sweet and kind that one of the only other girls I do find myself interested in romancing is Sakuya. Sakuya is slightly more quirky, but compared to some of her fellow bachelorettes, her personality is probably the most "normal" outside her capitalist tendencies and lack of cooking skills.

And that is the big thing with RF3's cast for me. While RF4 certainly had its quirkier cast members like Porcoline and Illuminata, there are even more of them in RF3 and most in game days I find myself feeling very overwhelmed because many of the villagers are so out there. Even if I don't actually dislike their personality, there are some characters I talk to very sparingly because they're literally too much for me. Prime examples include Marian, Carmen, Sofia, Sherman, and Carlos. Of those, the one I like most is Carmen, but I still find myself not talking to her that much simply because I can't handle how loud she is, which sucks since she seems nice otherwise. (As an aside, I also like Kuruna, but the second I heard that she and Ondorus were childhood friends, my brain went in Directions because I am a sucker for Childhood Friends to Lovers LMAO)

Speaking of comparisons between RF3 and RF4, I do feel awful. I have a fair number of criticisms of RF3S from a gameplay standpoint, but pretty much all of them relate to missing Quality of Life features that were addressed later on in RF4. Stuff like depositing items in the shipping bin, crafting multiples of the same item, the request system, the lack of a fertilizer bin; RF4 ultimately fixed all those minor yet aggravating problems, so claiming that RF3 is the inferior game just because it's lacking those important QoL features, to me, feels very unfair, even if it is affecting my play experience. RF3S, outside those missing QoL features, plays very similarly to RF4S and has a lot of the same features, and whether the story and cast appeal to you is a matter of personal opinion. Overall, it's a solid game and I would recommend it to people who are curious as to how the older Rune Factory games played!

All that said, the biggest thing that has already killed RF3S for a lot of people is the representation; many people have chosen not to buy RF3S because there is no female protagonist option, no datable bachelors, and no same sex marriage, and you know what? It's a perfectly valid reason. As a straight cis woman, my biggest gripe with RF3S is not being able to play as a girl and I'm pretty sure the only reason I'm able to put up with it is because I'm painfully used to it as someone who grew up in an era where the vast majority of game protagonists were straight men. It does help that Micah, much like Frey/Lest and Alice/Ares, has an actual personality and so I don't need to come up with one for him just to enjoy his story or any of his potential romances. He's just a friendly sheep boy trying to put up with the insanity that is the town of Sharance and I 100% vibe with that.

All right, next area is the windy river place. Unfortunately, I have a lot of skills I need to work on, facilities to upgrade, and items to gather. I'm probably going to be grinding for quite a while...

Ondorus saying hallihallo is so mcytcore

[ask-the-tale-of-kingdoms]

Lief: "So you're telling me you guys are all royalty, and you're THIS dysfunctional?" He had a wry smirk on his face as he looked over them all. "You'd think a family of royals would be more held together. More regal, you know. And you guys are hoping to welcome visitors, too?"

He gave a low laugh. He never was terribly fond with royals, and seemed to enjoy ripping this family a new one based on their ettiquite alone. "Look, the Gracidea here are nice and all, but I'm not exactly feeling very homely right now. Like, you there. Miss. Your daughters just tried to kill each other. No one wants to see that."

If one were to drop a pin, you could definitely hear it hit the ground. Lief's choice of words had brought great silence to both the family and draconic hybrid. Especially with how the blue canine dropped his jaws in great disbelief. Never has he ever heard someone spoke negatively to the royals before! This... It left the boy utterly speechless!

The first to battle through the tense atmosphere was Ondorus. Plopping out from between the furs of his mother's tails, he would hurry his way towards the direction of Lief. Once their paths had connected, the young prince would spin around before quickly halting himself to create a sort of heroic pose! He stuck up a welcoming paw towards the Simbobeon. "Hihi mister! Welcome to Valinthea!" He states with sheer confidence. "I am super sorry that you don't feel happy with here and us! But but but I hope that I, papa, mama, and sissy siss can help make things better! Because everyone is welcome and I want everyone to have pretty smiles! I hope to make you happy and get a pretty smile too!" Both Nuria and Sondoria didn't seem to quite settle well with Ondorus sentiment. This mostly leans towards them finding the hybrid in front of them is deserving of no positive enforcement, after what he had said to them. However, despite holding a feeling of disagreement, neither would dare utter their distaste.

Well… At least, not Nuria.

Sondoria, on the other hand… She felt her blood rising, heating from anger. The celestial Eevee was seething, enraged of how impudent and careless the hybrid's words was spoken out. She was feeling more hot temper than the blazes on Rapidash's mane. All she could do was snap at him, raising her voice. "Dysfunction?!! You… You come waltzing in here to spew out the most disrespectful thing, insult us, and THEN proceed to complain that this place isn't homely?!! It's pests like you that doesn't deserved to be welcome he--" The Eevee's words was brought to an immediate halt by a paw brought near to the front of her mouth. Her mother had chosen on silencing the princess from conveying her words any further. "Sondoria, no. I'd advise to please not speak any further of this matter." While the crystalline fox's voice was filled with serenity, it also was granting a sense of discipline. Not wishing for her daughter to spout another negative remark, as enough trouble had already been caused. Ideally, this is not the introduction she had hoped to have on the first welcoming day to her kingdom.

The queen, finally, had took her approach. She didn't advance too closely to Lief, ensuring of boundaries of the two. So instead, she had decided upon herself to choose a more respectable proximity. Her pale blue eyes retain its set gaze to Lief's. Tranquility… Serene… Direct…

And then…

She apologetically bow down her head. The queen had chosen to show remorse towards both the public view of barbaric behaviors and for her not doing a better job from preventing such a circumstance to begin with. "My apologies. I am aware that such inferior display is rather quite unacceptable. I, Symania, take full responsibility and promise to ensure that such behavior will not happen again…"

"Mom!" Both Nuria and Sondoria spoke in near unison. Both daughters were readying to protest, as neither felt that the apology was justified. However, before either could speak, they were meant with a piercing glance from Symania. Immensely taking the hint, the two would begrudgingly keep their mouths shut.

"Mentioned by my youngest, Ondorus, I promise to make certain that you will be welcomed, as well as have a splendid time in my kingdom. All I request is to be respectful towards the Pokemon, Valinthea citizens, of my land. I care not if you choose to speak ill of me. As long as you do not show harm or intolerance to my people, then there shall be no issue." "As for my children…" Symania would take a slight glance directing at her kids. "If they do or say something of poor etiquette, then you are free to create contemptuous remarks. I do not mind aiding my children to say, as you Pokemon of this age like to state, 'growing a backbone'.". Although quiet, the queen seems to lightly chuckle at that. Much to the dismay of the daughters. "Ah, but I would best advise avoid laying harm to any of my children. It would be dearly unfortunate to grant a severe unpleasant experience to the newest visitor."
