The introduction of Earthmate dancers for Project Dragon has got me thinking again about the rf5 siblings and their abilities when it comes to being Earthmates.
I also realize that I haven't talked much about how their farms are going lately. So let's go into detail about our last pair of farming Earthmates before they all go extinct.
So we've got the main farm behind the Silo that both Alice and Ares tend to.
On the main farm Ares mostly helps by clearing and tilling the ground before the seeds go in.
Quiet often, Reinhard stops by and helps him out with the work. (He also helps out a lot at with one certain farm dragon but we'll address that later)
This happens much to Alice's dismay because she feels that she absolutely needs to pay him for his assistance but has to fight him to take the money when he tries to refuse.
His argument is that he just felt like helping his friend on a whim and doesn't want money to be involved but Alice doesn't budge. He worked and needs to be compensated for it.
When the land preparation is done Alice takes over the planting process. She harvests seeds to max level, has all the best fertilizers and keeps careful eye on them every day to produce the best crops!
She does all of the plant work either by herself or with Ares' help because their Earthmate touch is what makes the plants grow fast and in good quality.
They've tried having others help them with the planting part but results of an Earthmate's touch practically negate the second anyone else tends to a plant. It's like all the magic just vanishes.
On a different note, Cecil likes to come and help observe/take notes cuz he's really into earth and ocean sciences. So any learning opportunity is a good opportunity. Plus he has a good eye for detail and catches things that Alice should be weary of with her plants. She also gives him a salary for regularly assisting in plant inspection.
Last thing about the main farm. While it does make use of the shipping bins to wholesale the bulk of the produce to Misa's shop as well as other shops in nearby towns, Alice also has a farmer's market set up next to the Silo. Here is where she has the on-rotation Rangers take shifts selling the highest quality produce at her assigned rates.
Basically Alice is running a rather expansive farming business alongside her work as a Ranger.
I have a lot of concept art I wanna make for the dragon farms (especially the dark orchard) so I'm going to do another post later for Ares and the farm dragon friends that he's made.

"Sure am! This town is gorgeous, and the view outside the inn is even better." In spite of the traveling bag slung over her shoulder and the sword on her back, she's actually going to move to help him. "You need a hand with that? Looks like you kind of have your hands full." She smiled up at him.
"This inn is a lot bigger than the one back home in Alvarna. Ours is nice, though. I have to say though, this is pretty awesome. I feel like I'm stepping into somewhere fancy."
She actually hadn't had too much trouble with the monsters on the way, but then when you and your twin brother have downed a dragon, it takes a lot to present a challenge.
@earthmates for Murakumo if you want
"Anybody here?" Aria poked her head in the door of the Blue Moon in. "Wow, this place is pretty. I wonder if I can get a window view...." She'd seen the water cascading by the inn on the way in, and had found it gorgeous. "Wait till I write home and tell everyone about this-this is so neat..."

first meetings sentences :: open
@agloryofuniicorns sent: "Well, that is an interesting way to say hello!" // Malon @... Sakuya! I know some things about Rune Factory 3; Sera's about... a... some way through the game playing it for me.
Finishing the pose after what was, likely, a rather cringey one-liner pun on a greeting- Sakuya returns to an upright position with attention on the farmgirl. There is only a small sweat drop but she's staying positive!
"Yeah?! Still workshopping details, but~ If you ask me, what good's a first impression if ain't something memorable! And like, in the good way. Obviously." The merchant plants her hands akimbo on her foreign attire, a matching smile blazing with a fire its own.
"Sakuya Arakane is the name!~ nice to meetcha! My family moved into the town nearby to open our inn. So I'm going around to meet the custo--I mean, locals!"
#agloryofuniicorns#muse :: sakuya#inbox :: answered ic#hello and thanks for sending this!!#RF3 is peak of the series if you ask me#even if raguna from the og games is my fav earthmate-#also please float to sera the idea of Pia as a Zora in a LOZ verse#because its now infecting my brain

Theres a lot more text this time so to the read more it goes
Scarlett is a hard working and strict deer with light magical ability due to some distant unicorn heritage (she can lift light or slightly heavy objects and can put out a blinding burst of energy), she never brandishes her antlers towards anyone aside from the occasional monster or bandit and fiercely protects her town no matter what. Of course now not only does she has to be all buddy buddy with the newest trouble makers residents, two earthponies who curiously lack cutiemarks, but she has to work with them too, that definitely wont give her a headache
Ludmila is a changeling in disguise as a unicorn and had been on the lamb for some time now, not many creatures are partial to changelings so she prefers to stay hidden finding “companionship” (or as close as she can get) with other creatures who are outcast from society (aka bandits). one day after their base was raided, and her unicorn illusion no longer on because of her hunger, she met a cutiemarkless earth pony named alice who didn’t have a damn clue as to what a changeling was but was more than happy to accommodate her, going as far as to letting her feed on some of the monsters love in the base… well thats new
Anyways now she lives in rigbarth and was even able to metamorphisize now that shes got a steady flow of love to feed on (both from the shared love of the citizens and the occasional feedings she gets from alice)
#alice is fine dont worry on top of having a shitload of runes she has a shitload of love to spare too#earthmates go crazy#also hint hint im a dirty ludmila and alice shipper#tho ship what you like idc just dont be gross#rf5 ludmilla#scarlett rf5#rune factory#rune factory 5#rf5

to return to another thing nobody understands or remembers. i actually think what might be fun is if in the rf4 au, the protagonist counterpart becomes arthur. which is actually a way better explanation for why the protag would get mistaken for royalty initially, bc they look like. basically identical and akari/rei even sound kind of close together and they could believably be half-remembered versions of each other.
and also the part of the game where arthur makes the protag fake royalty is actually the both of them playing hot potato with the prince/princess title bc NEITHER of them want to be Responsible. irida/adaman/whoever it is having the convo is like ohh this dastardly cheat... deceived us into thinking they were royalty... so we gave them your title and responsibilities... and the counterpart is like ! actually. i lied. I'M fake royalty. they're the real one.
#the nemesis speaks#pla rf4#im also rotating the survey corps' role in all this... i think what would be fun is if they were still a research outfit#and studying monsters. and they're actually the ones who point you towards new bosses. in the name of Research.#and then you keep turning them into people! what gives!#but then why do you end up working with them? ...is THAT what the prince/ss was coming to the town to do in this au?#that might be fun. and then both protags are working with them still. 3 person unit (ingo is also there)#''but why do the earthmate and the prince/ss look so similar'' nah that part is actually never explained. dw abt it

So wait a second...
In official Rune Factory 4 lore, Ventuswill was supposed to die many, many centuries ago. It's uncertain how many, but it's generally accepted that Leon likely became the first Guardian around 1000 years ago. The big thing is that, in theory, Ventuswill's natural lifespan could have been much longer with no need for Guardians or Rune Spheres, but she was born in a land where the runes were beginning to die out and was thus weak. The Earthmates creating the Rune Spheres was as much about restoring runes to the land as it was saving Ventuswill because while the world can go on without Ventuswill, the world cannot go on without runes. Without runes, the land becomes barren, crops won't grow, and all life eventually ends.
Now, I don't know much about Rune Factory 2 since I haven't actually played it (and anyone who has is free to correct me on the below points), but from what I've read online in terms of the lore, Fiersome's apocalypse would have happened a thousand years ago had the ancient Earthmates not placed their seal on him--roughly when Ventuswill was originally supposed to expire. And every thousand years, the seal on him has to be renewed; if not, the world is destined to be destroyed in Fiersome's raging apocalyptic hellfire, after which Terrable will awaken and restore life to the charred landscape at the cost of eliminating whatever remaining life has survived--in other words, a total rebirth of the planet.
Between the close timing of these two past events--the point that Ventuswill's life was originally supposed to end and the point when the seal was placed on Fiersome--and the fact they were to occur when the world's runes were starting to dry up, the Earthmates both past and present have been staving off the inevitable End of the World for centuries. The world, as we know it, could have been destroyed a thousand years ago as it was supposed to, but the Earthmates said "Nope! It's too nice to let it all die!" and have done everything they can to extend its lifespan.
And that's when we get to Rune Factory 5 and an incredibly dark statement from the main antagonist, Gideon. According to Gideon, Alice/Ares is the last known Earthmate--not the last, but there are so few Earthmates that if there are any others left, they're most likely in hiding and are on their way to becoming an extinct species. Now, Ventuswill's longevity has been ensured thanks to the actions of Lest/Frey during RF4 and she'll probably still be munching on pancakes in 1000 years, but if the Earthmates wind up going extinct, there's no way to restore Fiersome's seal because only Earthmates are capable of renewing the magic used to keep him locked up. And Fiersome is not the only godlike creature capable of causing the world's inevitable destruction; Tides of Destiny gave us the Legendary Golem, whose cataclysmic battle with the Native Dragons led to the creation of the current world, and RF5's potential apocalypse was that of the Fathomless Dread, an eldritch abomination that literally had to be sealed in another dimension to prevent it from destroying the world.
The Rune Factory world has brushed time and time again with total annihilation and the only reason it has managed to avoid catastrophe was because there was an Earthmate around to stop it. What happens when there are no longer any Earthmates to stop the end of all? Or is it possible that the Earthmates are going to experience a revival of some sort? Besides a castle-esque design, the logo for Rune Factory 6 does suspiciously feature a seraph/halo motif, after all...

You all have no idea how much self control it takes for me NOT to turn this place into half a baseball blog every October
Gifs between every art piece
But I've never had a bot/spam problem with this fandom blog and I don't feel like inviting general blog problems 😂
#Margot talks about Nothing#American baseball is my most favorite thing#I've been living with the gifs from these playoffs and I am beyond excited for the world series#the playoffs help power me through October as I watch them while drawing#I recently changed dang television services so I could more easily watch them#I have a detailed rant as to where I'd put every canon Earthmate on a baseball diamond#AAAAAAAA I JUST WANT TO SCREAM#I've found more RF people to talk to. Pls. If you're out there and you like American baseball. Poke me#Signed this silly lonely little Nationals fan listening to her morning sports talk radio#but ye bot accounts and spam messages are why my dead main is dead#and why I didn't bother just creating a whole entire new account when I made RFN and instead made RFN a sideblog#so no baseball. you all are spared

i finished Lest >:3c
i'm gonna draw all the marriage candidates + (at least) illuminata and pico (but i'll probably also do volkanon, Bado and Lin-fa) if i'm feeling ambitious maybe I'll tackle venti and redesign her human form
anyways! Lest's sprite art does him so dirty so I hope I did him justice (also I decided all earthmates have that diamond shaped eye-shine)
#kyukyudraws#rf4#rune factory 4#rf4 frey#rf4 lest#i'm working on magaret rn~#also i like to think lest is a demiboy and frey is a demigirl :3

Rune Factory: Project Dragon - latest footage, details -
From Gematsu
Following its initial announcement as Project Magia in May 2023, Marvelous has released new information and footage for Rune Factory: Project Dragon. Platforms and a release date remain unannounced.
Get the details below.
Following a brief history on the evolution of the Rune Factory series and how it has grown across nine titles released over 18 years, Rune Factory series director Shiro Maekawa joined the stream to reveal a new video for Rune Factory: Project Dragon sharing a look at the title’s protagonists. Players can choose to play as either Subaru or Kaguya, two new Earthmates with a twist; they will use the power of dance, rather than farming, to communicate and interact with the world around them. This new approach to interacting with the world comes with non-combat tools, including parasols and drums; series staple weapons like swords; and brand-new weapon types to experiment with, including bows and talismans.
Watch the Rune Factory: Project Dragon segment of Marvelous Showcase 2024 below.

I did not think I was confused about how the Guardians worked, but the more I think about how to handle Leon's backstory, the more confused I become. Argh!
Mostly, I just want to be more clear on if they're Earthmates themselves, or just like... Acted on by Earthmates. I've been doing my homework, but I really wish the wiki was more lore-focused, because I just plain don't learn as well from videos and it's kind of a problem.
(Feel free to chime in with theories/things I might have missed!)
