I'd love to see Clorica or Julia drawn :D If you want to, thank you if you do!

Thank you for the request! Decided to go with Julia for today since I don't see too much of her, and I really wanted to draw her dress haha

A Nudge in the Right Direction

Merry Christmas, @runefactorynonsense! I was your RF Secret Santa this year!

Firstly, I have to thank you for always being supportive of my art and encouraging me to participate in things I secretly felt like I didn't have enough "skill" for. I'm an advocate of people "showing their work", to leave a trail of their progress, but to have someone else valiantly support me the same way is truly a blessing 💕

Now, onto the Easter Eggs and why I think Tumblr needs to see more of Margot's LynLara (or at least, the reasons why I am so enamoured by these 4 people being in the same room):

Stern Sechs Empire ex-commander meets strict local nurse

I think out of all the 1/Frontier cast, Lara is the only one I could imagine not shrinking away when Lynette moves into Kardia and having a personal motive to reach out. Aditionally, taking into consideration that Edward is also from the Sechs Empire, I can imagine that Lara would be one of the first people to give Lynette the benefit of the doubt. They're two characters that almost feel cut from the same cloth yet also worlds apart, and I think that's what makes them such a fun pair to think about!

2. Kyle and Rosalind

Now, the dynamic/interest is there, but the problem with Lynette and Lara is that they're so caught up in their profession or past that neither of them would make the first move. But Kyle and Rosalind? The pair that has the most over the top, romantic proposals in RF2 (or potentially, the entire series - I'll report back once I've seen everyone's), would latch onto this immediately. Rosalind got her "fairytale ending" that she dreamed of, and Kyle (in this case, Lynette's son), would want to see his mother happy.

Another layer to this is how Lynette and Kyle share the similar past problem, and Lara and Rosalind share a similar passion of wanting to "cure the world".

The gentle nudge comes from a secure place within themselves: "I know someone who makes me happy, so I'm certain they'll make you happy too."

3. Married Life Foods

It can't be a Christmas-themed celebration without food! Naturally, I had to pick their specialty dishes!

For Lynette, she brough her famous Apple Pie (which kind of blends in a lot with the background...I'm still working on my watercolour background/environment technicques!).

For Lara, I laughed when I redisovered that she prepares RF1 Raguna medicinal herb for lunch (something that would have been incredibly more useful in pharmacy-centric Frontier, funnily enough) and Doria and Stew for RFF Raguna.

The Stew description had me smiling:

Lara really can't hide her sweet tooth, can she? At least she found something sweet and healthy to bring to the potluck!

As for Rosalind and Kyle, Kyle was never allowed to cook in RF2 and the RF2 wives also don't have specialty dishes like in the other games :( The RF2 house had some sort of green bottle on the sink, so I interpreted that as one of Rosalind's favourite gifts: Grape Liqueur.

I hope that the rest of your year is joyful and merry, and that 2026 brings much more Rune Factory Nonsense!

Happy Holidays! Lila Roxa

I don't think that's what they meant by capture the Intel but pop off I guess.

mana from rune factory 2, who has one of the cutest designs and one of the most obnoxious personalities of any character i have ever encountered in a game

[plow-and-propose]

Dorothy's arc in Rune Factory 2 is maybe my favourite instance of mental illness/disability rep in any game I've played because ok it's not perfect but it's just so sweet and so tender.

Kyle doesn't really understand what's going on at first but he's still calm and kind and patient, he gives Dorothy space, and when Dorothy speaks to him through her doll he doesn't mock her - there's no "that's weird" or "you're too old for this", he accepts it's the way she feels comfortable communicating with him and reciprocates, using the doll to communicate too.

And yes he's concerned for Dorothy, but he doesn't want to "fix" her or make her "normal". It's not even about his relationship with her, it's about how being a nurse is important to Dorothy but her anxiety gets in the way. It's about her life and her desires, not Kyle's. Dorothy's arc is about managing her anxiety and getting to a place where it's no longer debilitating - she's still extremely shy by the end, and that means it doesn't feel like she's been replaced by a completely new character. She's allowed to be herself.

Kyle accepts Dorothy for who she is, and in doing so Rune Factory says hey, it's ok to be like this, you can still live a happy life and people will still love you.
