being an rf2 fan is so stupid because im like this is my favorite character. hes a deadbeat father. he was killed by a dragon. he was resurrected by the child he abandoned. hes a stranger. hes an amnesiac. hes the seal of the apocalypse and also his name is. kyle and he wears a little crop top

t4t rosalind and ray is so powerful. diversity win both your doctors are transgender

alicia truly the best rune factory girl. shes the town gossip. shes an eldest daughter. shes unemployed. she scams you out of your money. she has her tits out 24/7 even in the dead of winter. she inexplicably has the power to change the actual weather but has decided this is less important than telling fake love fortunes. she makes children pay double.

I know there’s a bunch of flaws but I still love rf2

with how passive kyle is in almost every love event (except rosalind's for some reason), but given how generally willing and eager to help he is and how forward the bachelorettes are (especially rosalind about how he's "all sweaty from farm work" while blushing), some of their interactions feels like this

[mistyfarm]

considering ray was a prototype bachelorette, it is my personal belief that ray and rosalind are t4t: - rosalind has like…the aura of one of those really statuesque tall and lanky transfem high fashion runway models with a really strikingly beautiful side profile. also women in #STEM - and ray has that transmasc aura of still having a strong baby face in his 20s and being under 5'5 and secretly insecure about both of these factors. given his mom is a doctor and he's in training, he can make both of their hormone prescriptions

my contribution to rune factory 2 society, ruminating on how hilariously lackluster kyle's responses to being confessed to are

I haven't played RF2 in forever, but...

...I'm just spitballin' here. :P

Anyway, I know a lot of us wish there would have been updated character designs after the timeskip in RF2, and we all have our headcanons about what that would look like, but my spicy take is...

...Let gen 2 Max be FAT, you COWARDS! I'm not saying he would be the same size as his dad at that phase of his life, or that he should be drawn the same way (characters should probably remain recognizable as themselves at a glance), but I think even just rounding him out a little would have been a really interesting creative choice.

Like, consider:

-Body diversity is cool! For a lot of reasons, but also just because I write fic and have to describe these people. More body types means less using the same adjectives until my eyeballs fall out.

-It would just be a fun little detail for him to mature into a closer resemblance to some of his other family members? Because it's normal for people to, well, look like people they're related to. (Incidentally, this is also why I interpret Martin as shorter and less bulky than a lot of people seem to. Him and Cecil were dealt slightly different cards, but from the same genetic deck!)

-There's potential for Julia to have some positive character growth? It's either a) Max doesn't give much of a fuck either way and sets a good example by still talking about himself like he's hot shit constantly, or b) (my preference, I need angst to live) he actually struggles with it a lot, and she has this moment of "oh, shit, how I talk about this stuff is really affecting him, and he's already feeling down on himself, I'd better handle my situation." But either way, the end result is Julia being like "okay, he's still a smokeshow, maybe I don't need to put myself through this," and Max at least being on the road back to being way too into himself by the gen 2 era. (Maybe even a little more sincerely so, with less underlying insecurity.)

...Ha, only it wouldn't go like that, because this series has been historically and notoriously weird about this stuff. It would probably just have her being awful to him, which would be a massive bummer and proof that we cannot have nice things.

Forget I said anything! D:
