I spent so long trying to decide on a line of dialogue to use for a caption, but EVERY line of dialogue these two have in the bachelor’s route that mentions the other makes me feel like I’ve been shoved into the middle of an intense fever dream. how am I supposed to pick just one!! you can’t do one without the other!!! or the third (daniil)!!!! cant wait to someday see what the patho2 bachelor’s route will do to me

What would a species swap of the cast look like? Like we already go Monster Clover, but how about Human Ceroba, Starlo, and Marlet? Possibly a Human Kanako (Would she still be an Amalgamate??)

a fun lil exercise :3

I recently started reading some of your Fae tales works (I started with Spoils) and WOW my perception of Efnisien is taking such an adjustment. The switch up got me thinking: is there any iteration of Fae!Efnisien that is good or approaching good? I think I remember you saying that canon Efnisien in Fae tales is completely unredeemable, but have you ever considered writing a Fae version of him that gets redeemed? What would that look like? (I just want to know what good, happy, confident Efnisien looks like to you asdfghjkl he’s always traumatized or terrible).

Hi!!

Efnisien is like that triangle with like Good, Fast, and Cheap on it, and you can only ever pick two (Good and Cheap but not Fast, Fast and Cheap but not Good, Good and Fast but not Cheap).

Efnisien can never be Happy and Confident but not Terrible.

Efnisien is at his true happiness in the canon. Literally, for a time, his heartsong was joy/glee because he was living his best malicious life (his aunt never tortured him there, he just came out of the womb worse than everyone around him, and so, so happy about it).

We get a happier, and more good Efnisien in Falling Falling Stars after a pretty significant redemption arc. (but happy and good means also traumatised lmao).

I have considered an arc where someone forces Fae!Efnisien to become redeemed, or at least stop killing and torturing people, and you know how it ends? Efnisien kills himself in abject misery, because the only joy he ever felt was being a terrible, awful human being, and inflicting pain and misery. He literally experiences the forced redemption as one of the cruelest tortures a person could ever go through. I remember talking about this a lot with Silvia (my beta) many years ago now. We made ourselves very sad. In making him not be terrible, we made him too Traumatised to want to live. (so we got traumatised and good but not happy).

This is the kind of thing where a person who enjoys the stories needs to write fanfic about what they want to see, because I'm too close to Efnisien's character in the fae realm to ever see what you want or imagine as a possibility anon. Only you (or others like you) can make it happen!

“we need more complex female characters”

okay, well how about you take the ones we have and stop bitching about them doing “bad things”. let them be mean! let them be selfish!! yes, cheating is very wrong, i get it, but so is jumping kids! yall will give the most IN DEPTH analysis of these random soc boys and why they jump greasy kids (which there’s nothing wrong with analyzing the soc boys) but then you’ll turn around and bitch and moan about cherry and how she broke up with bob, or sandy and that she cheated, and sylvia cheating too, like…they’re all morally grey. no one’s black and white. they’re all good and bad. let them be good and bad, because even if these characters were the most fleshed out, sweetest characters ever, yall would dub them “annoying”

idk, it bugs me a lot of you can’t tell

After seeing a live performance of Much Ado About Nothing, I'm convinced that the priest is Friar Laurence from Romeo and Juliet going about suggesting everyone fake their deaths no I will not be taking constructive criticism on this matter.

Like something happens and it's "Have you considered faking your death as a way of resolving this?"

*Anything goes wrong*

Friar Laurence: already has the coffin prepared

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk!

okay, but i need to know how the rf1 and frontier divide works with the time loop theory

Honesty here; my thoughts on the Time Loop usually go from rf1 -> rf2, especially with various headcanons of mine that I would be using [Prime example being this blog supports a 'rf2 Kyle is the son of rf1's Lynette', which makes a 'bad ending' Sechs victory in 1 suddenly open up with a million game 2 possibilities- Antagonist Kyle!]

HOWEVER.

Given how there are a couple different thought paths with 1, Frontier, and the rest of the universe, the Time Loop setup I've made could be super fun? For example;

"Rune Factory ends, Raguna unmarried, and we roll right into Frontier." This seems to be what I think is implied!

"Rune Factory ends, something happens and forces Frontier to happen." My personal choice is to see it this way; the move was not voluntary.

"RF1 and Frontier are the same characters but separate." I've toyed with this before, with how the game barely touches on old things, with how we have to re-meet Mist, Rosetta, Lara, etc- and, well. Given that it's a GAME, made by a company, for a then-new console, it makes sense that the scene is standalone. Which means, one can consider it the story, and rf1 a different starting story.

I could see that Time Loop setup causing all 3 of those to be true, in different versions. 1, we chase Raguna right into Trampoli; 2, we have a brand new Anime Dead Wife opportunity; 3, we keep him out of Kardia altogether, what happens then?

Now that you HAVE me thinking as I type, though...

Given how Frontier, rf3 and rf4 talk so much about the depleting rune energy in the entire damn world, how you are punished so heavily for ignoring that balance in Frontier if you ignore the Runeys.... I think it could be very fun to imagine that Frontier events have to happen.

Stopping the extra depletion of rune energy could give extra time for Aquaticus to work on his area's problem, and also buy Venti a few more years to live as the 4 events are put into place..

Which also leaves some wonderful open doors for "Raguna had to live on the run" theories I've seen (esp from friends of mine) that come from the Ethelberd violence that ramps up between 1 and 4. Earthmates being hunted down and whatnot. Raguna was already chased from Kardia, and Trampoli isn't exactly a fort of safety, especially when Empire eyes have already discovered it... A super tiny town he'd rather have be safe...

So. Maybe Frontier has to be a "Fixed Point" in the universe (NOTE; I don't watch Doctor Who, but I've always recalled that term as it is so useful). We need it to happen. And maybe that means accidentally erasing family happiness from 1 in order to for sure chase the boy into Frontier!

All this being fun speculation, of course, and thank you for the chance to think about it!! As I genuinely had not factored in that game into my thinking!!
