A Fields of Mistria sideblog! Ao3 Art done by @Ar1su! Thanks again, friend~! (wheedle-sworn. heh. uwu) (may accidentally reblog stuff for my main. oof.)
Given the upcoming 1.0 update, I decided to make a FoM blog just for the game. To make a long story short, I've been playing this game on and off since around it's EA release, and I just fell in love with it. I'm glad it's been updating since, and getting more love too!
A few quick things:
@violet-amet Is my main account, feel free to just call me Violet! I take screenshots of the game, and have most of them just on that account so far, but I will share them here soon. I'm 30+ years old, and I have some terrible social anxiety, but I don't mean to be mean, really.
I have a two-in-one farmer(s), that are actually a pair of siblings, called Lluvia and Oscar. Least to say, I've been writing fanfiction about them, but their story may be a bit too heavy to share all at once. Still, I love them dearly, and they are my little goobers.
Now all that said, I do have a few more things to share, but I'm going to put them under the cut.
I will talk about my farmers a lot. Here are some notes:
While I pair Oscar with Valen, Lluvia has a complicated, yet amicable relationship with Wheedle. (Yes, I know, he ain't romanceable, but I personally love him, and how much of an idiot he is, but so is she. And their dynamic is fun to explore, being the provoker (him) and the provoked (her). But sometimes it's the other way around.)
Some subject matter may be a bit... suggestive, to put it mildly, but I will try not to be too out there.
Such as the fact, that yes, Lluvia and Wheedle have a "transactional" relationship in more ways than one. Despite how physical their relationship is, however, due to my own deep fascination over him, I like to ship him semi-romantically with her too.
Oscar and Valen have a much healthier dynamic, truth be told.
Anyway, I may talk more about them over time, given they all live rent free in my head, especially the Wheed-man. But, I love the rest of the cast of characters too, in different levels of interest. That's all~!
Dahlia used to be an adventurer like anyone else, until she took an arrow to the knee sustained a career-ending injury and was not-gently coaxed into taking up Adeline's offer so she could have a roof over her head and make a living. But Dahlia is not one to give up easily, and throws herself into the effort to rebuild Mistria, pushing herself day after day despite her not-quite-fully-healed injury.
This definitely won't have any lasting consequences :)

Cheri's seasonal outfits~ 🌸 Which one is your favorite?
-
Went and made an emote/talk sprite showcase in the style of these nifty seasonal outfit GIFs from the official FoM Tumblr! Mine's much less animated because the GIF will Die (and I am already running into Expected GIF Exporting Problems, because this is not actual in-game footage), so this is the best I could do!
Con Fuoco: Chapters 13 - 16 ~ Love Theme Intro, Love Theme Farewell, Wallpaper, ???
These conclude Act II. These chapters were a labor of love (the common theme between them!), but also the chapters I dreaded writing the most. All together, they took almost a month.
Excerpts below:
Chapter 13 ~ Love Theme Intro
Elsie leans forward over the table. “Do you care for her?”
“I… I suppose I do. Yes.”
“And does she care for you? Do you find that you enjoy spending time with her? Does it feel like an equal friendship? Do you find yourself thinking about her throughout your day?”
Fiore is overwhelmed by the numerous questions. She’s unsure which one to answer, so she simply says, “yes.”
“Has she done anything to hurt you?”
“No…” Fiore pauses. “At least, not since we’ve settled into our living situation. But she still can be quite bothersome.”
Elsie leans back in her chair. “How do you feel when you think of Rena?”
“I feel…” The first thing Fiore pictures is Rena's smile. It’s as if she tries to show every single tooth. It’s quite funny how that big of a smile can fit on her face. It’s almost gotten Fiore to smile herself on a few occasions. What is that called? Contagion? For some reason, when she pictures Rena, she’s always being pulled along somewhere. The image of Rena looking back at her and laughing comes to mind, as she pulls Fiore along by whatever she can grab hold of. When they stand outside of the General Store, she’ll look down at Rena who may or may not be eating whatever thing she’s treated herself to. Like always, she looks up at Fiore with a smile. “I feel like smiling when I think of her.”
“Now, would you still say things are different with Rena? Or do you think this could be platonic love?”
Fiore’s eyes move from Elsie’s, choosing to instead focus on a spot just behind her head. “I suppose it could be.”
“And now, Wheedle …”
Fiore’s body goes rigid at his name. Sure, she could admit it to herself - she does care for Rena. But Wheedle?
“No, not him.”
A laugh escapes Elsie. “I haven’t even said anything yet, dear!”
Chapter 14 ~ Love Theme Farewell
“You’ve never purchased a single thing from me. You even knew my docked pay stipulation was to exploit you… Which you then exacted revenge upon me in subtle ways! Not even the temptation of seeing the one of your dreams in a bathhouse was enough to entice you to throw a few tesserae my way. Your loud-mouthed friend couldn’t resist my soap.”
Fiore crosses her arms. “So, you find it to be a good thing that I’ve never purchased anything from you.”
“Why would I personally associate with someone I take for a fool? It’s not a difficult thing to butter someone up with niceties so they hand over their money. … I have come to respect you more than I anticipated. Even as evident by the stage comment, you think of things that I don’t. Likewise, I think of things you don’t. We make a balanced team! The fact of the matter is: we could make far more in profits by re-framing how we work. Think of it as… a fresh start! No more docked pay. In exchange, I would hope you take our arrangement more seriously. As if it were a real business.”
As Wheedle stares at her, anticipating her reaction, the threat of a blush emerges. She recalls her conversation with Elsie, and how she commented on his staring. … Why is she thinking of this conversation now? Fiore perseveres, remaining impassive. “If we truly are a joint business, then a contract is in order.”
Wheedle snaps his fingers and then points at her. “You’ve read my mind!”
Chapter 15 ~ Wallpaper
I said that if I’m Songbird, then he must be Music Lover.
