Glad you're feeling a little better!! Maybe one of your favorite locations from Frontier? I haven't played it but it looks beautiful from what I've seen

Thank you for this ask, Twig. It was a wonderful excuse to paint a background, which is my most favorite thing♥

I have to say, I waffled on this decision because there's so many things "your favorite location" could mean; most story memorable, most beautiful, place with the best music, etc.

Eventually I decided on the game's second dungeon,

LAVA RUINS.

In a way, this place is none of the above; it doesn't have my favorite music from the game's soundtrack (that would be the Snow Ruins).

It isn't my most beautiful (Raguna's homestead or the Town Square with full Runeys, just, yes).

It isn't the most story memorable (that, again, belongs to Snow Ruins. Notice a pattern?)

BUT. This place won out over its wintery cousin in this art choice because it has personal significance, in the place where I got nearly softlocked in this game for four. years. all because I had the WORST rng known to mankind.

A tip, if you ever get one or two pieces of silver at this point in the game, covet them. Make them into an icy hammer, or a nice sickle. Then you unlock the rest of the game. Try to not be like me, who simply never got a silver drop, who had to kill mini golem after mini golem after mini golem in vain hopes that were almost never fulfilled. My younger self, in my first year of college, could only find the time to play this game during summer and winter break. And it took... several tries.

I have such a love-hate relationship with it. I hear the first minute of this place's theme in my head, and can remember the run to a certain junction where those golems spawned. I remember the RELIEF, and how FAST I got things done after I got that little piece of ore. The white whale of my Rune Factory life was slain. It is also just, an amazing place lore wise that sets the tone for the rest of the game; a Rune Research Facility, destroyed by some experiment done there years and years ago... These Raguna games are subtly dark, yo, and I love it.

All in all, this is not a true to life representation of this place. I no longer have a save file where I can run around and take screenshots, so I decided to not base this on any particular area. The patterns on the place's walls seem to be mainly geometric from screenshots I found, so I decided to make up my own patterns. Two of the game's bosses are hidden in the walls, and a Terrable is in between them. Because, well. I can.

Also, the dungeon theme for the road;

Finished the squeeks line! If you couldn’t tell ive redesigned them a lot more because I personally found the original designs kind of lacking for some of them (mainly the gemsqueek if I’m being honest, how are you going to have a squirrel live in the clouds and then copy and paste the chipsqueek model, the lack of pizzazz infuriates me)

Anyways onto the headcanons!

- chipsqueeks compulsively store acorns in their bushy tail for either combat or snacks, they also collect sticks for chewing to keep their front teeth shaved down and for building nests. Its not uncommon for leaves and moss to get stuck on their fur, chipsqueeks intentionally keep said leaves and moss for added camouflage

- A furpys fur is dense and fluffy due to the cold climate it has adapted to live in, many hunters seek out their fur to make insulated clothes out of for cold winter nights. People with tamed furpys take great pride in keeping their luxurious fur fluffy and cuddly

- MunchSqueeks are constantly on the hunt for food, though living in a lava cave system doesnt leave them with much options, most of their meals come from dropped food from careless or fleeing adventurers, withered weeds that just barely managed to grow before drying out or hunting weak flower lions as they’re the only monster they’re capable of hunting. If truly desperate for food they use their strong front teeth to nibble on minerals. To combat the heat munchsqueeks have thin fur, thick pawpads and release a substantial amount of heat from their tails and eartips. To defend themselves they “flare up”, heating up spots on their body before launching small flames at you

- Chippersqueeks are highly territorial, using their unusual size and strength (for a squeek) to intimidate other monsters that dare step even five feet within its territory. Chippersqueeks are incredibly agile, almost acrobatic, leaping from tree to tree and using the membrane on its arms to soar in the sky and using its tail and the membrane on it to steer

- Sneaksqueeks, as their name implies, prefer to stay hidden and away from most creatures except from other sneaksqueeks, with members of their own species theyre very communal and cuddle together to preserve warmth. Sneaksqueeks spend most of their time searching for food and sleeping in order to preserve their energy, living in insulated dens where they store food and live with at least ten other members of their group. A Sneaksqueeks fur is as fluffy if not more than a furpys, but not many monster hunters are willing to enter the freezing crystal caverns to retrieve their pelts

- Gemsqueeks are considered mythical as are all of the other monsters that live in cloudheim, it is said a gemsqueek gets their name from the numerous gems it stores in its fur. Some speculate the gems they collect fell from passing shooting stars, other speculate they make the gems and when they fall off thats where shooting stars really come from, the only consistent belief is that their fur is said to be heavenly soft and lighter than air, lazily napping and leaping from cloud to cloud without a care in the world

The Max/Barrett fic no one asked for

Not only is there no Barrett/Max content, no one (as far as I know) wants Barrett/Max content, and yet... here I am providing it. I really REALLY like writing their dynamic as friends so I wrote this piece that incorporated far heavier sexual undertones (and ~gay thoughts~ from Barrett) for @unapologeticbisexual, who’s been uber supportive of my return to writing for Rune Factory. <3

"Why am I here, again?" "Barrett, that is an excellent question to ask Father Gordon upon returning to Alvarna. I'm sure he has an entire sermon dedicated to—" "Shut up. You know what I mean." Barrett looked around the establishment they'd just entered, trying to determine how it was possible anywhere on Norad could be so ostentatious that Max de Sainte-Coquille fit in rather inconspicuously. Yet, here they were—here Barrett was—in the heart of the Capital, in Sir Shmooly's Haberdashery. "For the same reason you've accompanied me on the rest of this trip." Max meandered over to where the hats were displayed, idly examining a plum-colored trilby. He ran the large thunderbird feather trimming it between his fingers. "Because someone needs to assist me in picking up everything required for Rosalind's wedding." Assist? More like Barrett was the equivalent of a buffamoo, hauling purchase after purchase out of shop after shop and to the carriage Max had rented for this "casual jaunt" (Max's words) to the Capital. Barrett was sure that if they visited one more florist, patisserie or marchand de vin, there wouldn't be any room remaining in the carriage to transport them both back to the port. In which case, Barrett would find himself strapped to the top of the carriage, like another piece of luggage. Then again, if he had to set foot into Sir Shmooly's adjacent shop, Lady Furpy's Millinery and Boutique, he was positive he'd go into cardiac arrest anyway, so it didn't matter
