The Forget-Me-Not Valley bachelorettes but medieval style 🗡🌾

[just-a-pansy]

Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Rival Children

First up: Lumina's and Rock's daughter. Given the head canon is that this would be the sequel to the game and these are our new love interests, I'll give everyone a rival as well as a short rundown what it would be like romancing them.

Edie

came back home after studying literature

feels like she should do something meaningful with her life but really just wants to stay in the valley with her family

has a passion for drama and poetry

is a bit of a slacker

mocks you for "working so hard" but really envies that you're at peace with your life and work

often found at the Inn

her grandparents worry because she seems so unhappy

slowly opens up to you and shares her feelings of inadequacy

recites poems to you

I'll write more about the rival relationships once they are posted. All I can tell you now is that your rival Ava is one of the daughters of Celia and Marlin...stay tuned!

The children so far: Ava - Marcie - Rae

Lumina's SE Alt outfit is another favorite! Why didn't we get the Alt outfits in SOSAWL? I'll never understand.

Tell me what my Harvest Moon spouses say about me!!!

Let’s go through them:

Celia [married many times over in AWL:se]

Lumina [married once in AWL:se]

Cliff [married in FoMT*, will marry in DS:cute]

Luke [married in ToT]

Wizard [married in AP]

Candace/Kathy [would marry in male playthrough]

Ash/Hiro [Ash is pink flowers and Hiro is yellow]

{ttott bachelorettes are perfect so could never choose}}

Yuri [promise ring level in first playthrough]

Tina [part of why I stopped playing my first ANB save cuz I had given Yuri promise ring but then second guessed and felt badly about it lol]

Allen [I hate that I love him, did not mean to like him at all in second play file but it seems he’s the guy for my lady playthrough in ANB]

Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town I have not yet played and I am thinking I might go for Cliff to have married him in three different games but in reality I’ll probably swoon over Mary or Ann or one of the other bachelorettes... they’re so good!

So... yeah, what do my cottagecore spousal preferences say about me?

*I had gone through all the heart events with Gray in my original FoMT playthrough but I did not know paying Gotz was not enough so he stopped letting me hire him before I could do the last house upgrade I needed or something to get married and year 4 with rival Mary came and I just stopped that file and deleted it.

Day Four - Lumina

“Are you sure? We could have a coach take you there,” Aunt Romana asked for the hundredth time that morning. 

Lumina's golden-brown eyes glanced from buttoning her jacket to her grandmother. Sebastian hovered behind the bent older woman, their faces lined with worry. She reassuringly smiled at the two before gently telling them again that you would accompany her to the city. Some part of her felt like it was a harsh rebellion against the care they had provided, but she wanted to do this herself, especially since Aunt Romana would not approve of her plans. 

She did her best to push the thoughts from her mind as she traveled with you. Although she was interested in your farm, it became harder to track the conversation as her nerves built. She started like a spooked rabbit as your hand grabbed her outside the dress shop. Lumina gave you a weak grin as you lightly squeezed her hand in encouragement. She hesitated before the mirror, observing the black dress. Panic swelled in her at the choice as she stepped from the dressing room, and your jaw dropped. 

“Y-you look amazing!” you stuttered, fighting not to ogle Lumina as your face grew warm. 

A flush rose in Lumina’s cheeks, pleased to hear your exclamation. Your apparent approval diminished her second thoughts. Lumina protested as you paid for the dress before carefully following your guidance to the theatre. She fought to ignore the butterflies in her stomach as she entered through the stage door. Aunt Romana disliked jaunty Christmas music. She particularly detested The Nutcracker which Lumina now prepared to play. Her fingers ran lightly across the surface of the piano’s keys as she steadied her nerves. 

Lumina hoped you wouldn’t regret an orchestra seat. You had assured her that you’d rather see her play than the ballet. She had trouble believing your sincerity. The Nutcracker used to consume Lumina’s thoughts each year around Starry Night. After her mother’s death, she wished a prince would sweep her away to a magical land. Lumina glanced toward your seat to see your eyes glued to her with an excited grin. 

She hid her smile as you gave a huge thumbs-up before the lights dimmed. Lumina began to play, enjoying the music swelling around her. She hadn’t realized it until now, but her prince had already come. You had entered her life and freed her from the manor's walls, promising new adventures.

rough translation of part of the interview with Yasuhiro Wada from the AnWL guidebook (psychoanalysis of rock, gustafa, and marlin)

this passed peer review so here is the portion where Mr. Wada went into the 3 bachelors’ psychologies, as well as their relationships to their rivals…

(highly recommend buying the guidebook it’s very much worth it)

——The new heart events have really brought out the true personalities of each of the three bachelors, which weren’t this clear in the previous work. I was especially surprised by Rock’s heart events.

Wada-san: Rock really is just a silly guy (laugh). But I hope you’ll accept him as a husband, even if he’s not what you expected. In that regard, Gustafa's personality is the complete opposite of Rock’s. If you look at their actions alone, both Rock and Gustafa seem freewheeling, but Gustafa actually has a proper sense of philosophy and aesthetics. On the other hand, Rock truly has no idea what he’s doing (laugh). Every now and then Rock will say something impressive, but that’s because he’s a very pure soul, and so he can unblushingly say all sorts of things that normal people wouldn’t ever think to say, because they’re, you know, confined by awareness of social norms. So, even though to a normal person Rock might seem careless, the reality is that he’s an absolutely pure human being.

On the other hand, Gustafa is a man who pretends to be acting “freely” from the heart after having already ruminated on his thoughts (laugh). He is a guy who has a lot on his mind, so he is always looking for an opportunity to work it in casually to someone in conversation, like, "Actually, you know…”

In the middle of these two extremes is Marlin. He is both fretful about and fiercely jealous over Celia. He is the most human of the men.

——By the way, who do you think you’re the most like out of these three?

Wada-san: Rock. If I went to the ranch as a marriage candidate, the first thing I’d think about is taking over the farm (laugh). I say that, but I’m really Gustafa… (laugh) Well… I guess I honestly feel like Gustafa who wants to be Rock.

ーA rival for love appears on the scene. What is the relationship between the rivals and the bachelors?

Wada-san: First of all, regarding the relationship between Lumina and Rock. Lumina has a serious personality, so conversely, she longs for positive and carefree types who can weather all kinds of challenges cheerfully. So even though she’s the heir to the Villa and Rock himself is destined to inherit the Inner Inn, she can see that he lives by a completely different philosophy than she does, and she hopes that she too can learn to act on her feelings without overthinking.

In the case of Nami and Gustafa, Nami is inspired by Gustafa’s words because they reveal a way of thinking that is totally brand new to her, so it would seem that Nami is completely smitten with Gustafa.

In the case of Marlin and Celia, Marlin feels a sense of kinship with Celia because she has a weak body. But Marlin has to realize that in order to protect the frail Celia, being weak isn’t enough. Only when he becomes dependable and tough can he protect the weak Celia. You can’t just sit around being timid (laughs).
