note from zanna i am finally back to writing for fom after 9 very long months !!! super happy to be writing again, very soft for ryis 24/7 he never leaves my head. looking forward to 1.0 release eagerly!!!
The chirp of the birds in the early morning reaches Ryis' ears slowly. They break through into his dreams, calling him out from slumber by the passing minutes. When he gains consciousness enough to realize what the noise is, he smiles lazily and digs his head deeper into his pillow. Waking up to birdsong is the perfect way to start the day.
Although he's always thought it can't get much better than this, it quickly does as soon as he opens his eyes. Sometime during the night, long after Ryis had already fallen asleep, you had curled up under the covers beside him. And it's one of the rare times he's woken up before you.
He rarely mentions anything to you about your habits—falling asleep late and waking up early every day. If he's calculating correctly, you're always running on only 4-5 hours of sleep, which is definitely not enough for how busy you keep yourself during the day. He doesn't nag you about sleeping more, but he does make sure you eat and drink enough during the day. That is his compromise.
Still, it makes him feel inexplicably happy when he finds you still asleep. It's a rare moment to bask in sharing a bed with you; which he is aware happens nearly every night, but it never quite feels like it. You're always joining him after he's asleep and leaving before he wakes up, so while you can enjoy the sight of your sleepy boyfriend, he doesn't even get the opportunity to.
The birds are getting louder outside. It will always be Ryis' favourite music to hear. Their choruses sway through the crisp air of the early morning, welcoming the new day. Sunlight is starting to shine through the window. A warm ray casts across your face, and your closed eyes scrunch from the sensation. Ryis' hand lifts to block the light almost on instinct. When your face relaxes again, he breathes a relieved sigh.
He knows when you wake up, it will be straight to work. He won't let the sun ruin a rare extra moment with you when he knows he'll be lucky to even see you again by evening. He wants you to get a little extra sleep. You deserve it. He also, a little selfishly, wants to keep looking at you like this.
Finding time to spend together amidst your busy schedules is hard. During the week, you both work tirelessly to make sure you have time for a date on the weekend. It isn't a perfect solution, but, at least it gives you both something to look forward to. On days that feel like they stretch on endlessly, it's needed motivation. Sometimes, when Ryis has a lull in schedule, he'll sit by the Hawthorn tree and watch the Mistrian bluebirds for a few hours.
His sisters would probably tease him for being this sentimental about you, but he can't help it, nor will he ever stop. He's never been this in love with a person before.
He expected you to wake before long no matter what he does, but he still finds you stirring sooner than he expects. He can ignore his heart sinking at his perfect moment being over when you open your eyes and smile at him; a sleepy smile that's suppressed by a yawn almost immediately. Ryis giggles. You shift over to hug his waist and let yourself rest your cheek against his chest for a moment.
"I like waking up with you," he says quietly. A sleepy nod is all he gets in response. Your lack of sleeping must be catching up to you this morning. After a beat too long of silence and a suspiciously tight grip on Ryis' shirt, he tilts his head. "Are you trying to fall back asleep?"
You shake your head, but make no moves to get up. Ryis is comfortable.
"How late did you get back last night?"
His hands have started carding through your morning bedhead. If you opened your eyes, you would see the lovesick expression on his face. You can picture it just from the way he asks you the question—soft, a little concerned, and undeniably fond.
"2? 3?" your words muffle into his shirt. Ryis furrows his brow.
"That late? You should sleep more. I'll sleep in with you."
Your eyes blink open at that suggestion. His offer is… beyond tempting. He knows the chances of you taking it are low, but not zero. If your clinginess is any indication of your willingness to leave bed, then Ryis might even have a real possibility of it this morning. It's still quite early. An extra few hours wouldn't be detrimental. If he can just persuade you a little more, then perhaps…
"I don't know… I have a lot of work to do today…"
He decides to go with what he knows to be most effective. He kisses your forehead gently.
You groan, grip on him tightening, "You know that's not fair, Ryis! Doing that is cheating."

genuine question what is the best way to make passive income in fom??? the main moneymaking strategies I’ve been relying on is cooking and crafting, which can be somewhat passive if you have all the resources for certain recipes, but I haven’t maximized my farm to get hundreds of the same ingredients for the best selling items.
I don’t know if there’s anything like preserve jars or kegs in stardew where it can be a reliable and consistent income source year round to process your produce without having to think about it. my problem with the cooking is i have to be very purposeful and thoughtful about what I’m making and what I actually have the ingredients (or recipes) for. I haven’t looked at all the recipes and decided which ones are the best to make like hundreds at a time (I need to do this but it’ll still probably take another season or more in game to actually get that stock cause my farm still isn’t optimized yet)
and like bottom line is if I don’t take ryis to the spa date before 1.0 release I think I will cry. It needs to happen but I’m brokeeee ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹 (why does it cost 20k to get only 1/3rd of my farm planted for the season, how am I supposed to get 100k?????) pls help more experienced fom players what are your strategies 🥀🥀🥀
i'm thinking about how i pursued ryis early game mostly with lilacs because they were easy to find and felt like a more romantic gift than just shoving wood at him all the time.
imagining he picks up on the farmer's pattern of giving him lilacs every day. he always puts the new one in a vase with the others, but he hates when they start to wither and die (even though he's technically never running out of them).
so i think he would start learning how to dry flowers and press them into books, his journal, his birdwatching guides, or even start to make things with them. he'd incase the dried petals in resin or make little wooden pendants with them.
even though he didn't think much about the flowers at the beginning, and just took it as you being kind and generous, as the weeks go on he will cherish them more and more and find new ways to preserve them for as long as possible (especially as feelings grow between you two) <3
I keep thinking to myself: "ill move my famr plot and make everything pretty and put in paths and-" but then im like. Its all so conveniently close though. And if i dont see it ill forget about it lol. Also im just shit at outdoor dekorace in general and also extremely stinky because what if i need all this stuff later?! But i wish you luck, whoever is capable of doing layouts in any farming sim has my respect🫡
I too, will marry ryis the moment that 1.0 drops, its been my beautiful man since day one and although ill probably make new saves for the others too, he will always be my most specialest😌
i was procrastinating on it for sooooo long and the fact that my farm was ugly was also keeping me from wanting to play to be honest. like i hated where my animals were and my crops.... watering was a mess and it was just so disorganized.
so yesterday i gutted everything including some of the crops i still had and sent all my animals to daycare indefinitely. TRUST I HAD NO IDEA WHERE TO START WITH PLANNING THE LAYOUT <//3
i was looking on pinterest for some inspo on the basics i could do (like paths and how to arrange trees and crops) and then i whipped out the mistria farm planner and locked in with it. this is what i have so far from what i did last night!!
i still need to find some things to put in the empty spots and eventually plan out the other areas of the farm too (when i get it upgraded), but the most daunting part will be actually putting everything into the game. i definitely don't have all these items yet so im gonna have to gather them all slowly, but this is why i wanted to do it before 1.0 cause imagine ryis coming home to a farm like this!!! (designed specifically with him in mind specifically wood stacks + picnic spot + birdhouse)
i tend to be the type who likes things very organized (precisely so i know where everything is and i dont forget abt it) i think i will also start playing on a 1x or 2x zoom so i can see my whole farm and not forget any part of it when its all laid out like this lol.
another ryis main !!!!! ahhh its so rare to find ryis lovers <3 no shade to the other bachelors but why is ryis always so underrated??? i never understood it since i started playing cause for me i was fully heart eyes for him since the second i laid eyes on him. like hes just so cinnamon roll and sweet???? the fact that he IS the type of boyfriend who makes sure you dont forget to eat and stay hydrated :((( the first time he shared his breakfast with me i was violently sobbing. the dialogue alone would have been way too cute on its own but when that egg popped up in my inventory i was like NO WAY HE ACTUALLY GAVE ME HIS BREAKFAST. and on my birthday he gave me TWO golden cheesecakes just want to continue to brag abt that <3
i want to date some of the other bachelors too on other saves. i have a caldarus save started but knowing me i will prob ditch it and restart it fresh. also an eiland save that is more for my friend than me cause thats her man lmao. i think ill need a march save soon as well, but eventually ill probably date them all !!
this is the main thing about fom that excites me vs stardew valley. the romanceables are so good in fom i truly feel like the npcs are the focus of the game and the dating aspect is so nice. sdv is my first love in farming sims but im all abt the grind and the actual mechanics like farming fishing mining. when it comes to dating in sdv, i don't have a favourite bachelor/ette and most of my saves i end up dating no one.
also thought i might as well share one of my old house designs in stardew!!
my actual sdv farm here was pretty optimized for efficiency (but still pretty!!) however designing the inside of the house was my fav part lol. the inside of my house in my current mistria save is probably the only part of my farm that i don't mind looking at currently. but today im gonna get to work on transferring my farm design layout to the real deal <3
hello guys 🫶 it’s been a while but I’m happy to say I’m finally back to playing fom and ready to start writing more fics as well!!!
currently I’m finally trying to make my farm look pretty for my ryis save which is super overwhelming but I hope to get it done before 1.0 release (cause I need only the most beautiful farm for my husband to come home to when he marries me yes yes) if anyone has layout suggestions or tips pls lmk cause I am overwhelmeddddd :’) im so good at farm planning for stardew cause i know that game inside out but mistria is a whole other beast.
I’m only spring yr 2 in my main world so I definitely have catching up to do and lots more playing but I do really want to get back to the grind over the summer before 1.0. I’m sure I’ll be getting lots more thoughts to write about as well !!!
OMG i am so hyped yet SO unprepared for 1.0 I DIDNT EXPECT FOR IT TO COME OUT SO EARLY OMGGG
what do u think twin, from the teasers i've seen it looks so cooool
I didn’t expect the release to be so soon either !!! I was mentally prepared for q3 or q4 release but I’m sooo happy we are getting it soon 😋😋 can’t wait to marry this and also being able to kiss ur partner whenever ryis the day is a nice addition!! cause weekly kisses were NOT enough
it’s been a while since I’ve played but I’m planning to get back to my farm and reorganize it all to prepare for wedding with ryis yes yes 🧘♀️🧘♀️ I take it so seriously with my husband
Hello! I just wanted to say, I really liked reading your fics!
I actually don't play FoM but I'm like, vaguely aware of the characters from reddit posts, but I came across your fics in my For You page, and I had a great time reading them :D
hi anon!!!! this is such a sweet thing to say omg 🥹🥹🥹 I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed reading them!!!! I haven’t written for fom in a few months but I really want to get back to it because this fandom is always so sweet and lovely !!!! I can’t wait for the full release update. hopefully it’ll revive my fom obsession <3
i haven't played too much on the new update yet BUT FROM EVERYTHING IVE SEEN I LOVE IT???? when i reached the end of the mines on my ryis save i was like damn what do i do now.... so happy to have more levels to go through now!! plus i saw seridia's design AND HOLY BADDIE ????????????????? i didnt expect her to be like that but i love her design ‼️ looking forward to the full release <333
i love your fics you’ve made so far. i always find setting up the environment/atmosphere my favorite part of the story, and you do it so well. i’d love to be on your taglist pls! i wanna read all stories immediatelyyyy
thank you oh my goodness 🥹🥹 i think my experience writing a bunch of different creative aus for my main really helps me with this. obviously its a change writing for fom since the setting is the same in every fic but something i love about it is finding ways to poke fun at the game mechanics making them exist in a more realistic way ig lol. like reader coming back injured from the mines but completely fine the next day idk i just love it so much <33 or even for hayden's fic imagining reader coming home super late and sending her animals in at like 1:50am and just barely not making it back to bed which is why she woke up so late. i literally love how writing for a video game for the first time (and having the same setting every time) is forcing me to find new ways to grow in my writing as well! i'll def add you to the taglist right now thank you so much for being interested you're so sweet 🥹🫶
