I still wanted to post something today so...heh.

[tsunagite]

Some more Dream Shift stuff. I redid Sergio’s design bc his previous one would more fit a different character I had in mind. Plus, this new design fits more with how his initial design looked, so there’s that.

I love your Ryker drawings :’) so so cute. He’s my fav RF character.

*Ares voice* You made my day!

Really though, thanks! This really means a lot - Ryker is my personal RF fave as well (and then some) so I'm glad if I can do him justice when I draw him.

That said, perhaps I ought to share more Ryker here, so here's a little something from today!

RF Bachelor Tournament - Final Round!

[durotoswrites]

@joyfulsanctuary, it was so much fun working together on this! From bouncing around ideas to making up our own head canons, this was such a rewarding experience. 🥰 It was such a treat to write out Ryker's and Cecil's dynamics, and to play around with the detective/phantom thief trope. The artwork is so gorgeous, and I love how you captured everyone's expressions so well. It was such a fun scene to write out, and you nailed it!

Whelp... another pairing that has very little content... Stuck in rarepair hell once again. Guess I'll have to drag you all in with me, hehe 😅

I had the absolute HONOUR to work with @durotoswrites for the most recent @bokumonobigbang! They worked on a fic while I worked on the image above, it was a TON of fun!

Link to the fic is here! Ryker x Cecil supremacy let's goooooooo!

Rune Factory English Voice Actors/Actresses:

I’m a huge fan of Rune Factory. It seems sort of niche bc when I ask other gamers (I’m a casual gamer, don’t ask me to be on any teams 😂) about it they don’t really know what it is. One of the things I love about is is how they get these huge voice actors for the games, which seem so small (but I know it isn’t, it’s sold hundreds of thousands of copies)

WARNING: ONLY ENGLISH VOICES ARE COUNTED HERE. I’M DOING THIS FOR MYSELF AND WHAT I KNOW. I MAY DO A JAPANESE VERSION.

Raguna (Rune Factory and Rune Factory: Frontier) is Vash the Stampede, Ichigo from Bleach, Sabo from One Piece, and Nero from Devil May Cry

I'm curious about a bunch of these so I'll just ask the bunch together:

Whose ur favorite bachelorette(s), non romanceable chara, monster, non-mc otp and a headcanon you have?

Oh boy this is gonna be a doozy of an answer lol

Fav bachelorette — I’m super gay for (most of) the guys, so honestly none of the bachelorettes appealed to me as marriage candidates. That said, I really identify with Lucy’s whole arc and feeling disproportionately responsible for my loved ones. I especially like when these characters actually get a chance to take care of themselves. Sure, I don’t exactly like the way RF5 goes about it (the forced truth mirror was kind of heavy handed and took away her agency…), but everything else was nice. My runner ups are Beatrice and Scarlett. Bea is just a sweetheart, I have nothing bad to say about her. As for Scarlett, well, I got attached to her because she became such an important supporting character in my fic. I didn’t intend for her to be the closest thing Ari has to a best friend, but she surprised me.

Fav non-romanceable character — Heinz, hands down. That goofball has a terrible first impression in-game and he’s really done dirty by only being characterized by his ineptitude and lazy attitude, but man, I’ve gotten so attached to him because of his role in my fic. I was really able to develop his backstory and personality into exactly what I wanted since there was so much room for reinterpretation. Before I started this fic, though, I probably would have said Terry or Misasagi. Both of them have good heads on their shoulders, and I like the mysteries they represent.

Fav monster — Chipsqueek! Those little red squirrels are the cutest dang thing on the planet. They’re kind of useless as a battle companion, but I like bringing them around with me just because anyway. Also, in every RF game I’ve played (Frontier, rf5, and currently rf3 special), I’ve named the first one I’ve caught Poppy.

Non-MC otp — I’m a multishipper, so I won’t say there’s only one way I like characters to be shipped. That said, I’m particularly fond of Cecil/Fuuka (thank you Aashi for selling me on them!) and Martin/Ryker. For other pairings, I think Lucy/Priscilla is cute, but I’d be really interested to see Priscilla/Reinhard (Priscilla gets to live out her princess dreams) and Lucy/Murakumo (competitive bleeding heart plus the expert judge of games). Outside my fic, I also love Lucas/Terry (courtesy of @kardia-library-official for introducing me to the idea).

A headcanon — oof I have so many at this point, it’s hard for me to remember what’s actually canon and what’s stuff I’ve dumped into all of its plot holes. I think a big one for worldbuilding is that I named the town that’s near Rigbarth (the one that Ryker goes to when he steals that crown). It’s called Fenarva, which is sort of a portmanteau based on the names of all of the other villages/towns of Norad. I imagine Fenarva is closer in size to a city, and it has ports for regular ships and airships. They get travelers from the mainland, Isle of Elves (this also needs a name), the Eastern Continent (gods please Marvelous give us an actual name for this country when Project Dragon is released), and Fenith Island. Most of the tourists who visit Rigbarth come from Fenarva, too, since it’s only about half a day’s trip to get from one town to the other (well, travel takes longer now because of the recent increase in monster attacks…). Rigbarth’s economy really relies on these folks and the people from the other side of the Gadeus Grasslands too (still need to put another town over there too). Also, for everybody else writing fics based on RF5, y’all are free to use Fenarva, too.

I have other, more interesting headcanons especially about gods in general and what sort of god Lucas is, but a lot of it gets into spoiler territory. Unfortunately for all of us, however, I have yet to figure out how to work in these things into my fic. It’ll come up eventually, somehow, but probably not until late Act II or somewhere in Act III. I hope y’all can bear with me until then.

[kyalpiko]

happy holidays, @joyfulsanctuary !!

i’m your rf secret santa this year! i hope you enjoy this Ryker/Martin winter wedding dance ^^

[ryuuseirune]

so what are the ships you "absolutely adore"?

for rune factory? dylas/lest is my top ship rn. after that it's martin/ares, reinhard/ares, leon/kiel, doug/vishnal/arthur and ryker/cecil(/ryker).

if i have to ship dylas with someone other than lest, it would be arthur. i could also ship him with doug but at that point i would just want to add lest again and make a dylas/lest/doug triad. i really like triads in general but they are harder to write/draw. also every time i write polyamory people assume its harem which is Completely Different. anyway back to my point, i know i said i wasnt big on rivals to lovers ships but i feel like lest can kind of be like the glue that makes dylas and doug gel better. same thing with martin/ares/ryker, the addition of a third element kind of helps domesticate them. the protagonist in this case is like a slice of bacon, bridging the differences between salty and sweet. its like how the maillard reaction makes good things even greater, like yeah you COULD just rawdog that vegetable but it tastes better with a little bit of char ykwim

micah, kyle and raguna are bicycles and i don't really care who they get shipped with (though i do prefer the m/m ships by virtue of being a gay guy myself).

outside of rf, i'm still pretty predictable... i mean, vildras epic seven (which is a friends to enemies to lovers ship that includes the protagonist). ngl i just prefer shipping player character/npc or protagonist/npc over npc/npc so you can see that in a lot of my favorite ships. no hate to any gay rf ship bc i ship them all its just about how far im willing to go for them

[ruvikdraws]

another ryker this time with more effort <3

[aashiyancha]

Yeah idk what came over me but here we are
