So fun seeing the combinations of crushes y’all have. Its like a fun little personality test.

Like what do you mean you are stuck between March and Reina? Huh?

What do you mean you are stuck between Valen and Eiland?

What do you mean you would sell the world for Landen but will settle for Juniper?

You all are fascinatingly multi-facted and I would like to study you. Pleease tag your top 2 crushes even if they arent romanceable thank you

I just couldn't help but envision my Farmer from Stardew Valley and my future Farmer from Fields of Misteria as being related, perhaps as cousins. This could lead to an interesting story where one visits the other's farm from a different place and explores the areas.

hello fields of mistria people

[mistyscenter]

People be like: "we love tsunderes!!" But when the tsundere is a woman then she's the most annoying character in the franchise

People be like: "we love mean characters!!" But when that character is a woman then she's evil, and uncomfortable, and actually we don't like her

People be like: "we love kind characters!!" But if the character is a Black man/woman then they're ignored and never talk about or deemed boring

People be like: "stop spreading hate and negative" And the hate and negative will be pointing out misogyny and racism in fandom spaces

okay my first thought was that it's cute that Hayden visits his childhood friend on his birthday, but then i thought. man it would be so much funnier if Hayden thinks they were childhood pals and Valen just thinks they happened to grow up in the same place LMAOO

hayden: omg my bff valen!! hi valen!! valen‚ internally: oh right‚ the short guy who lived across town during high school. i should probably say hi to be polite

My Friends introduced me into Fields of Mistria as soon as it released as an early access, recently. And the first guy I instantly run into is Ryis, and the first words he says to me, is just so sweet that I do NOT regret mistakenly talking to him. Also he's cute??, real?? I am going to be writing fanfics about him and my guy OC. >:)!!

[wannabeavocaloidmystery]

Me:

*looks at Juniper and Valen with the wine at the bar*

.......

Me:

*Looks at Ryis and March chatting together from time to time*

.......

Hmm, my queer senses are tingling

[evil-gay-person-inactive]

I am in fucking TEARS right now. some of my absolute favourite people have deactivated because of bullying/harassment/stalker threats and I ONE OF THEM WERE MY FRIEND. Only a couple days ago we had interacted and now they're gone. To the toxic mileven shippers who did this, FUCK YOU. You have HURT people, made them feel UNSAFE to the point they completely DEACTIVATED THEIR ACCOUNTS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FEEL SAFE. Think about that as you try to sleep at night. Think about how while you slept soundly, they felt UNSAFE. BECAUSE OF YOU. Yeah. Thanks a lot.

I haven't slept today, fom fandom please accept this offerings of doodles

Hey OTNF! I have a question for you and your blog readers: how do you find the fics you read on ao3? Do you guys use the filters and read everything on there? Go through all fics by date? Etc? Just curious cause some of my pretty old fics kept getting kudos every once in a while and it's fom a pretty big and active fandom so they're buried beneath so many other fics. I'm just trying to figure out how people could find them and any other fics like them.

--

In a small fandom, I go by date and scroll past everything. Ditto a small ship.

For a bigger fandom, I filter by ship and a trope tag, often an AU or dubcon, tentacles, sex pollen, etc.

For a few tropes, I'll even just go to the trope itself and filter out fandoms I don't care about. e.g. presumed dead, faked deaths, temporary deaths.

About Olric…

As a fic writer, avid multishipper, and lover of Fields of Mistria, I wanted to clarify my stance on Olric since it has sort of evolved.

Originally I would have liked him to be romanceable (along with pretty much everyone else I think lol) He is very lovable. But since seeing aroace discourse surrounding him and how the aroace community has really resonated with him, I’ve decided I won’t be writing ship content for him.

This might be subject to change, depending on the developer’s intentions for him.

I also am not against anyone else having their own competing headcanons for him and not writing him as aroace. Ship and let ship.

But personally, I won’t be writing any romantic or sexual content for him.

[himeofshyness]

Here's a random headcanon for my future character in Fields of Mistria

It has been mentioned in the game that before your farmer moved to Mistria, they were also a member of the Adventurer's Guild. (I believe) Then what if, your main character in Fields of Mistria used to live in Stardew Valley until something significant occurred that took a toll on them.

One day, Marlon received news from one of his old adventurer friends in the Capital about a request for help from Mistria. Recognizing that his comrade and student needed a change of scenery, he informed your MC about the opportunity of a new farmland in exchange to assist the town. After a lot of thinking, the MC (soon-to-be mc in FOM) decided to start anew, bidding farewell to their cousin, the MC of Stardew Valley, before relocating to Mistria.

i hope they(the modderators) take the FoM wiki out of fandom cause im seeing so many extra notes that shouldnt be there or arent even relevant to the page(like reactions)

[x-v4mp3y3lin3r-x]

the FoM fandom has (mostly) taken a liking to NPC shipping but still 99% of the shipping is done with characters that frequently interact in-game already and honestly? I think we can get weirder than that. come on y'all post your rarepairs

please stop calling dazai/ranpo ‘souheki’

I posted this originally on twitter, but it unfortunately didn’t get a lot of traction, so I figured I’d post it on here as well in hopes it would get a little bit more traction and I apologize in advance for the fact I will be ‘clogging tags’ so to speak to get the word out.

I generally don't like to flood tags but people who tag Dazai/Ranpo (also known as Daran/Ranzai) as ‘souheki’, please don't. Yes, it is their team name in the japanese version of 55 minutes, but it not unique to BSD the same way ‘soukoku’ is for Dazai and Chuuya.

'Souheki’ in japanese is commonly used to describe an unbeatable pair or duo/matchless people, alternatively referred to as 'two treasures' or the lit translation 'double jade' as the japanese for heki is the chinese for jade.

This being said: MANY OTHER SERIES' USE THIS NAME FOR CHARA DUOS!! If you look up souheki, especially in Japanese, you will find everything from the Lan Brothers and Lan Juniors fom MDZS, Ferdibert from FE3H, Haikaveh from Genshin Impact, and even Fukumori FROM BSD. It does not belong exclusively to Dazai and Ranpo, so you are making the search all the more difficult for everyone involved, and you are burying and missing out on amazing, pre-existing content of them that has been around for almost ten years now.

I’ve been a big shipper of Dazai and Ranpo for that same amount of time, and the ship name has always only ever been Daran/Ranzai. The JP fans have never changed it, because ship names and team names are not equal or interchangeable. (Similarly, content intended to be shippy for them is tagged as Dachuu/Chuuda, never SKK.)

Additionally, soukoku was introduced the second Dazai and Chuuya were announced as a duo in bsd. The term souheki towards Dazai and Ranpo was not mentioned at all throughout the series until 55 minutes, which wasn’t written until 4 years after bsd was created and Dazai/Ranpo already had a ship name. (I’ve been here since 2013, trust me it has only ever been this.)

Once a ship name is created, it is not changed, especially in the japanese fandom where we borrow the ship names. (dachuu, kunizai, akuatsu as examples)

The JP fans never even brought much attention to the souheki concept aside from how it catered to the ship itself. The ship name(s) has not changed for ten years.

For further comparison, this is how the google search looks when you search soukoku / double black:

And this is what happens when you search souheki / ‘double jade’ ‘twin jade’:

This has reached so far that even Japanese fans are seeing this and being confused because, again, ‘souheki’ is not unique to just Dazai and Ranpo!! And it has been used for other ships!

If you are posting content for them, please please PLEASE tag it as daran/randaza/ranzai/etc. Please stop using souheki and muddying the waters to find content of these two.

if you want to find content for them, these are their tags in jp:

乱太 / らんだざ / randaza or ranzai (top ranpo content ONLY)

太乱 / だざらん / dazaran or daran (top dazai content ONLY)

太乱太 (content that can be translated either way / switch)

Please keep in mind that ships are tagged accordingly for who tops/bottoms or is the one who may have the more confident or dominant personality in jp fandom to filter content and those who dislike one dynamic will not be exposed to it. This is not an argument over top/bottom discourse. Jp fans do not have that problem. When you write/read a fic with top A, their actions/thoughts/etc will differ greatly from reading bottom A content 9/10 times. Some people have a preferred character interpretation like everyone else and are much more consistent with filtering.

While I am certainly happy daran/ranzai are finally canonically confirmed to be the agency's 'unbeatable duo/two precious treasures' (souheki), it is misleading and quite frankly incorrect to claim this is their ship name and to please keep tagging them as daran/ranzai so older content doesn't get brushed under the rug and completely ignored/missed altogether in this attempt to give them a 'special name'. They dont need to combat skk. They are unique and special as they are!

Please give attention to the content made by fans of Dazai/Ranpo fans that have existed for a long time now! We promise there is actually a TON of content, it is not lacking whatsoever. You’re just looking under the wrong name!

As a really big fan of Dazai and Ranpo for a very long time, who is friends with a majority of the Dazai/Ranpo fanartists in Japan and has spent a concerningly scary amount of money for content of them over the years, I hope you will consider this advice. I really want fans of Dazai/Ranpo to come together, enjoy content old and new, and make more in the future together.  (〃＞＿＜;〃) 

Please share this around if you could!
