Can we get headcanons on the farmer attempting to learn the languages of the non-human characters of the valley? Jio, Krobus, The Dwarf, and Malaya?

Yea :3

_________________________________________

Malaya:

Ah, the pouring rain... Malaya had been looking forward to this weather for weeks now, to walk to Ridge and feel the droplets falling on her shoulders and head from the sky.

So there it was - the loneliness, the forest and the chill drops falling on her skin. Malaya has this wonderful urge to dive headfirst into the nearest pond!

Before she could do anything, she noticed a figure coming out of Ridge Forest. Who on earth could that be coming out of such a dangerous place?

Ah, the Farmer! Malaya breathed a sigh of relief, for the young farmer was one of the few who knew her secret. The green-haired woman greeted them with a warm smile.

Farmer smiled back at her, and said something that made Malaya's eyes widen in surprise. It had been so long since she had heard her native language, the language of her parents and sisters... The mermaid language...

Farmer scratched the back of their head and wondered if Malaya understood them. They speak her language!?

Ah, just learning? Well, if Farmer was so interested in the language of mermaids, Malaya would gladly help them.

The memory of her mermaid speech was... not a pleasant one, for the last thing she had heard in her native tongue were the demands and threats of her greedy family. Now, Malaya can now converse in her language over other, more pleasant topics.

Her native speech is pretty easy for humans, so Farmer should have no trouble learning all the basics.

Dwarf:

Dwarf was not at all surprised when the Farmer, having first broken their way to them with their iron pickaxe, understood nothing of what Dwarf had told them. Not many humans know Dwarfish.

A pity, they were already starting to get a little bored in the Mines, without clients and company...

Time passed rather quickly for Dwarf in the Mines, so they didn't notice that a whole month had already passed.

And then the Farmer showed up again. Interesting...

And then, the Farmer addressed them in the Dwarf language! The language of their people!

Pretty amazing to learn their difficult language in a month! Well, the Farmer's accent is still kinda weird, and they carry a Dwarfish translator, from which they must have learned.

Nevertheless, amazing results!

Dwarf, in principle, already trusted them, a strange chaotic person with excellent mining skills.

So they will tell the Farmer about the history of their people, the great forges and the underground cities that were as lively as human metropolises.

At the same time, they will help the Farmer to improve their spoken Dwarfish, for their language is still not very polished.

Jio:

Jio thought he could meditate in peace and quiet, sitting cross-legged on the roof of Ninja house.

But the spirits had apparently decided that the elf had had enough peace for the day, and there was a noise from behind him that made his keen ears perk up.

In another situation, Jio would have already raised his weapon and pinned the stranger against the wall, questioning who they were and what they were doing here.

But he immediately sensed the familiar aura (and the peculiar odor of dirt, grass, and monster blood).

Whatever the Farmer wanted to tell him, he didn't have time. So without even turning around, Jio continued his meditation, hoping the Farmer would leave.

But when they greeted Jio, the elf nearly broke his neck when he abruptly turned to face Farmer.

What had they just said? It.. that was... Elven language. And of an old dialect spoken by his ancestors who lived even before humans.

How do they know that language? And is this really the Farmer standing in front of him?

In a rather rude form and threatening to pierce their shoulder with his katana (merciful Yoba, Jio, calm down...), the elf demanded an explanation.

It's unclear why the heck the young Farmer needed to learn a dead language, but Jio isn't about to waste his time on those and teach them how to properly speak the language of his people. And no, Farmer, he doesn't have to explain why. Now shoo, or he'll call Kiwi and tell her he's found a live knife-throwing target for her.

Krobus:

Krobus knows the language of humans perfectly well, so he had no difficulty in communicating with Farmer.

What was his surprise when Farmer addressed him not in human language, but in the language of the shadow people.

Krobus was also surprised that the Farmer had managed to find a translator somewhere. It's just that shadow people people don't keep any diaries or books. Hmmm, probably the notes of other adventurers....

Though Krobus admits - he only understood half of the sentence, for Farmer's knowledge of the shadow people's language still leaves much to be desired.

But if the Farmer is willing, Krobus is happy to help them hone their language. They have helped Krobus learn a lot about humans, and he would like to repay Farmer's kindness and patience.

Eventually, Krobus will even start telling the Farmer jokes in his language, the meaning of which cannot be translated into human language. It's pretty funny to watch when the Farmer didn't understand for half a minute what was so funny, and then they realized and laughed at the pun.

Krobus began to catch himself thinking that if at least one person did not wish him harm, was interested in the language of shadow people and behaved peacefully, then maybe in the future, shadow people and humanity will live together peacefully.

I'm curious to hear others' ideas too, so if you have any, feel free to share in the reblogs/replies! ^^

[studentinpursuitofclouds]

Hello Mousey! I've been reading some of your headcanons and i really enjoy them, and i wanted to request something.

So i have my farmer named William and i have created an avatar of him in picrew.

And then i look at him much closer and thought "he looks like he could be related to one of the Amethyne in rsv, maybe like Sonny?"

So i wanted to request how would the non-datable rsv characters (maybe even Belinda and Raeriyala) would react to someone mistaking the farmer as their relatives?

Hey hey! 👋 Glad you like my silly writhing, hehe 😊

I really like your Farmer, and I'm interested to hear about your OC's lore 💜 (if you're okay with that, of course, no pressure!). Thank you so much for the ask, and enjoy!

I wasn't sure if you specifically wanted your OC Farmer or just Farmer, so I left Farmer neutral (they/them). Hope you don't mind.

_________________________________________

Keahi and Trinnie had spent nearly half an hour passionately discussing all sorts of crazy theories about how Farmer was a member of the Amethyne family, but for some reason didn't live with them. Had Farmer been kidnapped when they were little? Or was it something else? The argument was so interesting that even the ever-busy Yuuma stopped for a moment and joined in to listen to his peers, as he had heard from his older brother that Farmer were indeed with Amethyne members quite often. Though he dismissed the kidnapping theory immediately as absurd.

"What!?!! As if there would be someone like Farmer in our-" Overhearing the children's conversation, Louie was about to go back to his old song about his great and rich family, but quickly stopped himself. "No, Farmer is not my older sibling." Though the youngest member of Amethyne kinda wished the rumour was true, if it meant that Farmer would spend time with him more often. Aside from the servants and other family members who are all always busy, Farmer, despite Louie's rude behavior towards them at first, is probably the only friend he has...

"Sonny, I want to ask you something." Still, a hope remained in Louie because, to be honest, Farmer did look something like his relatives. And since Sonny had always been honest with him, he would definitely answer his question. "No, young master. Farmer is close friends, but we are not related." The rumours turned out to be false after all. The old butler's heart clenched a little as Louie' gaze filled with a fraction of sadness. Sonny promised himself to finish chores at the manor as quickly as possible and cheer young Amethyne up with ice cream.

Belinda knew Farmer's Grandparents well, and sure enough there was no mention of their family ties to this Amethyne family. Yes, they all lived in the Valley, went to festivals together and were very friendly, but that's all. Not to say that the leader of the Cult pays much attention to it, as she has far more important things to do, like preventing the evil intentions of Gabriela and her minions.

Raeriyala was even more familiar with Farmer's family (Grandmother, specifically), so she confirms her lover's statement that there are no family ties to the Amethyne. Not to the family itself, nor to any of the servants. Plus, the forest spirit of Ridgeside often hears Sonny's prayers for the well-being and good health of his family members (and the Amethyne family) by name, and Rae is sure that a kind soul like Sonny would definitely mention Farmer's name if they're related. Though he'd started praying for them too, but she'd heard the word 'friend'.

"Amethyne? Dear, is it true?" Lorenzo was a little surprised when his younger brother and sister mentioned the rumour that Farmer, whose grandparents he knew, was somehow connected to one of the richest families in the entire Republic. But why guessing if it was true or not when he could ask his beloved wife Shanice, after all, she had taught the still young Zayne Amethyne (and Louie recently) and should know. "No. At least, I've never heard of such a thing." Shanice answers her husband honestly, returning to her inventory in the shop.

Mr. Aguar doesn't care. The former wizard, to be frank, doesn't care at all if Farmer is related to those noisy and pompous Amethyne family or not. He has a job to do, don't bother him and he won't bother them. Farmer is a good friend and a useful helper in the protection of the Ridgeside Village, their origins are none of his business.

"Farmer is definitely not related to them." Freddie once casually gibbered to the youths who gossiped non-stop about Farmer's very similar appearance and clothing to the Amethyne members, for which he received a stern look from his wife Lola. Both former assassins know everyone who lives in the Village or comes to visit. Though retired, they sometimes fear that old enemies might drop by and with the help of some "connections", they verify information on new residents. So they both know where Farmer is from, but naturally won't tell them about it. Lola distracted the youngsters with another topic, and quickly left with Freddie.

What? No, Farmer is not Ariah's older sibling or cousin, and definitely not related to any of her family or servants. Now that she's answered all the questions, can Aria finally get back to her book? She has exams coming up and she can't be distracted.

Didn't have the courage to ask me a question directly instead of spreading all sorts of rumors?" Maive can't stand the gossip that swirls around her family (even if it's true). She's a pretty straightforward woman, and always says whatever she thinks about the person she's talking to, so the elderly head of the Amethyne family isn't shy with her words when she hears what the locals are talking about the Amethyne again. Though, why should she even have to justify herself? The family's business is none of their business, and she doesn't have to answer to anyone. Not Farmer's fault, but the whole thing is tiresome...

"Do you seriously think our Farmer is one of the Amethyne?" "Huh, did I miss something?" Lenny with Kimpoi, Bert and Richard at Pika's restaurant one day, discussing the latest news in the Village, and everyone was a little surprised at the latest rumor that had been circulating among the residents. On the one hand, gossip wasn't particularly nice thing, especially about their good friend, but on the other hand... so interesting! Until Olga showed up at the company, barking a little to stop this gossip, and took her husband home. The others agreed that gossiping about whether it was true or not about Farmer could have negative consequences after all.

Maybe it's true, maybe it's not - Malaya slightly laments her husband for gossiping with his friends about whether or not Farmer is from Amethyne. It's none of their business, just as it wasn't the business of the other outsiders who gossiped about Malaya too, when she was acting a little weird (trying to keep her secret). Farmer was a friend to many, and rumors behind their backs were at the very least rude.

Honestly, Carmen didn't want to hear all the rumors and gossip at all, and she wasn't particularly interested, but her daughter was discussing it so loudly with someone (Sean, most likely) about Farmer's very similar appearance to the Amethyne family members that only a deaf person could not hear it. "Ay ay ay, would you like it if people were saying stuff about you?" The older fisherwoman couldn't stand it and decided to appeal to her daughter's conscience after all, putting a stop to all these silly theories.
