SUBMISSIONS FOR THE LOSER'S BRACKET ARE OPEN!
Welcome to the Loser's Bracket submissions! If you don't know how it works, here's a rundown:
For about a week, I will have nominations open for the Loser's Bracket. Nominate as many characters as you want who were in the tournament but have lost, but do not nominate someone more than once or someone who wasn't in the main tournament. (All contestants who lost prior to the semifinals have a shot to be nominated.)
After the Loser's Bracket nominations have been recorded, I will take the top 16 most nominated characters and begin the Loser's Bracket, which will last 4 rounds. Each round will last only a day, unlike the main tournament, where each round lasted a week.
The winner of the Loser's Bracket will have an honorary place on the podium and be mentioned in the finals winners post.
All propaganda for the Loser's Bracket will be unique, so feel free to write more propaganda on why you think they deserve this second chance.
I will stop taking nominations the day that the semifinals poll is over, as I want to start the Loser's Bracket the day the finals go up.
I will take nominations through the ask box! Send the name of your character & any propaganda on why you think they should have won.
Under the cut is a list of ALL THE LOSERS thus far and WHICH ROUND THEY LOST IN. Feel free to scroll through it to refresh yourself on anyone you want to nominate. (I hope I spelled everyone's name right because that was a lot to type and I'm not doing that again lmao)

Was talking Rune Factory HCs and the mechanics of the Return spell with some folks on Discord.
Got an Idea.
Immediately made the Idea Angsty TM
Had to write the story
I was prompted to make the Angsty Idea for Randolph/Yuki, and hoo boy the ideas started flowing.
This really was supposed to be a short little snippet, just to highlight the mechanics and angst of the headcanon, but as per usual with me, it's getting a little out of hand.
it's turning into a full Randolph/Yuki romance backstory. it's gonna happen.
But for now, have a rough draft little peek at some of what I've written.
Most of it will be beneath a cut for length, but also because of depictions of physical trauma. Read with caution.
💜💜💜
Randolph regained consciousness when he hit the stone floor of his cell. He didn’t remember getting dragged out of the courtyard, down the prison steps.
He stirred weakly, in too much pain to do more than twitch a muscle. He rolled onto his back and had to stop and catch his breath. He couldn’t see well. He could feel the hot blood pouring from his face where the other prisoner’s blade had caught him. He tried to force that eyelid open but only saw darkness. The other eye was nearly swollen shut. He could see blurs, light and shadows, large shapes, anything beyond that… a Silver Wolf could be right next to him and he’d never know until the beast’s teeth were in him.
And even then. Randolph was in so much pain he was fairly certain getting mauled by a wolf would not register to his body. His nerves were maxed out.
Randolph drifted in and out of consciousness. He was bleeding too much. He could feel his splintered bones moving places they should not be.
Randolph was not going to survive the night.
Every time he closed his eyes, he expected that to be the last time.
His mind left his body. If these were his last hours alive, he’d rather spend them dwelling on better places and kinder people. He thought about Yuki and the others in Rigbarth who had welcomed him with open arms. He thought about those pleasant walks to nowhere, arm in arm with Yuki, splashing into the surf, dragging her along as she squealed about the seaweed touching her, long nights alone together at the observation point stargazing.
“HEY!”
Cold water splashed over Randolph’s face, bringing him unwillingly back to reality. He could barely make out the dark shape of a guard at his cell door. He’d just dumped the cup of water that was part of Randolph’s dinner over his face.
“If you’re going to die, have the decency to wait until the night shift comes in, you useless bastard!”
There was a thin splat and hollow clatter as he dropped Randolph’s food just past the bars. Then he was gone.
Randolph’s head felt like it weighed a ton as he turned it slowly to look. It didn’t take the rats long at all to run out and claim the food as their own. He didn’t care. He’d rather not have a last meal than eat that.
Randolph closed his eyes again. A last meal… he’d give anything to have one of Yuki’s jam rolls just one more time.
Randolph dreamed of the bakery. His imagination was so vivid he could almost smell the fresh-baked bread. But what he most wanted was standing behind the counter, with that sweet smile of hers as she helped a customer.
“Yuki.”
“Randolph!” Her eyes lit up. She vaulted over the counter and threw herself into his arms. “Honey, where have you been? It’s been so long! I thought something terrible had happened.”
Randolph hesitated just long enough to feel Yuki’s solid arms around him, and then he held her close, tight. He buried his head in her shoulder, her scent filled his nose, and he wanted to hold onto her and never ever let go.
He thought he would die before seeing her again.
He was dying. He knew this wasn’t real. But it felt real. And he wasn’t going to go without saying what he needed to.
“Yuki, I’m sorry, I’ve been a godsdamned idiot. I love you. I love you so much. I never, ever want to leave you again. Can you forgive me? I said such horrible things. I’m sorry.” He was sobbing now. Holding onto her like he was a drowning man and she was the only thing keeping his head above water.
“I want to come home, Yuki. I want to go home. I want to go home. I want to go home. I want to go home.”
Randolph repeated that last line over and over. His dying wish. If he couldn’t be with Yuki, at least he could dream about it.
His body hurt. The pain was excruciating in places where he wasn’t going cold and numb. His vision started to darken, and then went white around the edges. He had the strangest sensation of floating, and then gravity returning all too suddenly, knocking the breath from his lungs and driving splintered bone deeper into places it should not be.
The pain shattered the illusion. The dream of Yuki disappeared from his arms. Curiously, the scent of the bakery lingered.
He could faintly hear a voice, someone down the cellblock screaming, but they almost sounded like Yuki. They called for a doctor – couldn’t be for him. He was too far gone.
Someone cradled his head in their lap, held his hand. Did they think he was already dead? Wasn’t he still breathing?
Honestly, he couldn’t tell.
He cracked his eye open one last time. He saw Yuki looking over him, haloed in warm light.
Randolph smiled and let go.

Yes, I’m still doing this in-joke well over a decade later!  And she only took two bells despite me farming like eight.  I’ve also already taken Ryker for a ride on her back because...reasons...
(this is a reference to some old fanfics I wrote for a previous Neverland game, CIMA:  The Enemy)

Raguna takes a long-awaited trip to Mt. Gigant with his silver wolf, Selene, and questions his role in the community.  He quickly realizes his confidence is anything but rock-steady. I’m so excited to share a preview of the piece I wrote for Level Up! RF Adventure Zine @rfadventurezine !  It’s a free, digital Rune Factory zine that focuses on themes of adventuring and travel.  I am so honored to be a part of this project.  There are so many talented individuals working and contributing to this zine.  I can’t wait for everyone to see the finished product!

the thing that really fucks me up about rune factory is... how sentient are the monsters anyway? in rf3 in one of raven’s heart events, a wooly briefly talks to her, but usually they just seem like regular sheep. in rf4, ambrosia seems like another mindless boss but you can have multiple extended conversations with her in amber’s event. sano and uno are not only fully sapient but also apparently serve a dedicated purpose? especially if we are to assume they’re the “temple foxes” leon occasionally refers to.
the green fairy you save in idra cave (i. think that’s idra cave. i might be wrong) talks to you and will attempt to pledge their service to you, but the silver wolf in sechs territory acts like a normal dog, and you can’t talk to green again if you accept. it’s not like you can talk down any of the bosses. but the native dragons are unquestionably sapient, does that mean their clones are too?
and what WAS the thing that showed you the first rune sphere shard? and told you to tell venti “we’re all watching over you”? is that the collective consciousness of everything in yokmir? some sort of other entity, maybe terrable, acting through them?

I know there’s a lot of people that probably read way more than I do on here and I have so many books for my Kindle so I just wanted to share a list of all the books I have. These are just in the order of the most recent on my Kindle so I apologise if you were looking for it in alphabetical order. Rest of list will be under the cut just because there’s so many books. 400+ books. Oopsies~

Wishes, Dreams, and Memories Chapter 34
Fandom: Rune Factory 4 Rating: T (to be safe) Genre(s): Adventure, Hurt/Comfort Characters: Lest, Dolce, Pico, Amber, Dylas, Leon, Frey, Arthur, Margaret, Forte Summary:  She had a wish to see him again. He had a dream of her last moments. They had their memories of having only each other. The amnesiac Earthmate never knew that by bringing his best friend back wouldn’t make his daily life go back to normal. Nor did he know she was the key to his and his ancestors’ past. Chapters: list Navigation: <<prev   |   next>> Author’s notes: Not an update as late as yesterday, but it’s still over midnight here... Anyways, enjoy the final showdown!
Chapter 34 – The Final Struggle
“Eat this!” Frey swung her hammer around, knocking any types of monsters coming her way.
Lest managed to send the monsters surrounding him with his dual blades, but the number of monsters around the Earthmates hadn’t reduced much. The monsters more powerful than their regular counterpart as the dark aura surrounded them and the dark forest they were all in. The dragons launched their elemental breath along with the fairies attacking the Earthmates using their magic, pitting them to a corner.
“There are too many of them!” Lest said quickly as he raised his shield to block incoming fireballs from the red dragons, “And they’re just too strong!”
“You don’t,” Frey caught one of the fairies and threw it against the pack of silver wolves, “need to tell me that again!”
Lest blocked a rider orc’s club as it rode on a wolf, only to have more orc riders storming towards him with their own wolves. The male Earthmate could only block the orc riders and wolves by his shield, though a pair managed to find a way to hit and bite him in the end. Before more of the monster armies came to him, a wave of stone spikes came out from the ground and pushed them back to give Lest some space.
Frey, in her tired state, ran to Lest side, “Cure All!”
The healing spell managed to heal their wounds, but it couldn’t erase the fatigue they had after battling monsters over and over again. It hadn’t been long since the two of the arrived, but the monsters there had already been waiting for them since their arrival. The regular sight of white nothingness with colorful leaves flying around had already been replaced by the view of a forest filled with dead trees and monsters.
“The runes…” Frey looked around as the monsters slowly approached them once more, “It’s starting to corrupt everything… He is… corrupting everything…”
“Then we have to find him, and fast!” Lest replied as he stood ready with his short sword and shield, “We can’t beat all the monsters here at once, but we might be able to make a way through them, don’t you think?”
“It’s not going to be easy either way,” Frey curled her fist while holding her hammer on her left hand, “But making a way out of these guys is definitely a lot easier than beating them all.”
The twins switched places, with Lest on the left side to block the incoming attacks with his shield while Frey used her hammer to push the monster to the right and make a way. Little by little the strategy managed to lead them out of the monster crowd with little damage as they sped away from the rampaging monsters.
The maze-like forest managed to help their escape, but also make them lost their way as well. Lest and Frey looked at the trees around them, which looked completely identical in every direction. It was getting harder for them to tell where they had come from to reach the spacious clearing they were in.
“Not good,” Frey turned to Lest with serious look, “There’s no way out of this place. The corrupted runes are blocking my Escape magic.”
Lest closed his eyes for a moment, trying to activate the spell as well, “Yeah, I can’t use it either…”
“Oh, are you leaving so soon?” a voice echoed throughout the forest, surprising the two.
“I haven’t forgotten that voice…” Lest commented in a whisper as he held on to his sword and shield, “We’ve found who we’re looking for.”
“Yeah, I can sense those corrupted runes of his,” Frey replied as she held on to her hammer, “Ethelberd is here to greet us… from above!”
The two Earthmates quickly split as something hard had fallen on the ground they had been standing on. Once the dust had cleared, the figure revealed himself as the missing young emperor with his long hair a mix of the original teal color and light blue. His green eyes were glowing red as he turned to look at Lest and Frey with a wicked smile.
“Long time no see, my dear children,” the smile turned into a frown as he glared at them, “No, I refuse to acknowledge my great blood to run in your bodies with that cursed Earthmate’s blood!”
“You don’t have any right to talk bad about our mother!” Frey yelled in anger, “We don’t have a father like you! We never had any!”
“I don’t want to call you as my father too,” Lest spoke up as he glared at the emperor, “I don’t remember my own past, but I remember you and your empire trying to destroy Selphia! I remember you trying to take Venti away!”
“Huh? That sad excuse of a wind dragon?” Ethelberd looked at him in an amused look, “Well, at least that dragon still had some strength left that I could borrow…” Ethelberd’s form turned its color into pitch black before morphing into the familiar wind dragon, “Like this!”
Ethelberd flapped the strong wings he now had and a powerful gust managed to knock the Earthmates off the ground and towards the trees behind them. The emperor transformed back to his human form with dark aura around his body. The two Earthmates slowly got back to their feet, looking at Ethelberd in complete disbelief.
“That… that was Venti’s… power…” Lest spoke up as he winced from the pain on his back.
“H-How…?” Frey asked as she used her hammer for support, “You… you’re already a dead man!”
“Hah! Nonsense!” Ethelberd swung his arm to throw a dark ball towards Frey, pinning her against the tree, “I live on in that wretched place! I can fuse myself with any kinds of runes I want! I can be any god I want! I AM GREATER THAN ANY GOD!”
“You… greedy… monster… ugh…” the dark ball pinning her turned into wooden spikes coming from the dead tree, choking her.
“S-Stop it!” Lest cried out angrily, “I already beat you once, I can just easily beat you again!”
“Do you study about the Native Dragons, Earthmate?” Ethelberd turned his attention to Lest before he transformed into a big black dragon with burning wings, “Like the dragon god of destruction?!”
Lest quickly rolled out of the way as Ethelberd unleashed a big fireball at him, only to have the burning fireball curved in its path and hit Lest, “GAH!!!”
“I… I won’t let you… hurt him!” Frey pushed the spikes away before burning them with her fire magic to free herself.
“You cannot defeat me, Earthmates!” Ethelberd transformed into a big snake-like dragon, shooting water laser around the area to hit both Lest and Frey.
Frey fell on her stomach, barely conscious from all the strain and damage she had taken. As if her pain wasn’t enough, Ethelberd approached her as Lest laid helplessly to watch the emperor stomped his foot on his twin’s head. Her face was battered, but not a single drop of blood was spilled as Ethelberd stomped and kicked her around on the face.
“Huh, I guess there’s another like me in this world after all,” Ethelberd stopped his act as he looked at Frey’s motionless body in disgust, “An Earthmate version of myself… what a disgusting-”
A ball of light hit Ethelberd square in the face, but not with enough force to knock him away far enough. Frey slowly stood with her wounds slowly healing from the use of another healing spell, before she turned around to look at him with a cold stare. As Ethelberd was about to transform once more, Lest had come from behind him to strike him with a long slash on his back, stopping his transformation process.
“You…!” Ethelberd sent out a barrage of fireballs at Lest, slightly knocking him back, before he followed up with a small ball of light thrown at him.
“Get back!” Frey pushed Lest out of the way before escaping herself as the ball of light grew larger in size, creating a crater of blue light in the middle of the area.
With the huge crater dividing the area between the two Earthmates and Ethelberd, the three of them were only left with magic attacks which brought a disadvantage to Lest and Frey. Ethelberd soon transformed into Aquaticus and used his long body to reach and knock the Earthmates towards the trees helplessly.
The barrage of fireballs Lest and Frey had sent out to counterattack was absorbed as Ethelberd transformed into Fiersome, who then pulled them closer along with the burning branches around them. Just as they were getting closer to him, the transformed emperor spun around to knock them back once more.
Frey was thrown towards the tree once more, but the stinging pain all over her body had prevented her from getting up. Lest was thrown to the ground, but the fatigue from the battles against the monsters had caught up to him once more to prevent him from using any healing spell on the two of them. Frey let out a desperate and pained sigh as she reached out for her pocket, taking the rune sphere shard in her hand.
‘Please… make it work…’ Frey thought as she forced herself to crawl towards Lest, who noticed her coming, “Lest… It’s time…”
“The purification… huh…” Lest reached for his own pocket, taking out the white-fish like charm, “Our last… resort…”
“Resist all you can, but it won’t matter anymore,” Ethelberd spoke up as the twins slowly rose to their feet while leaning on each other for support, “Today… today will be the day I can annihilate all Earthmates left in this world! I will finally have my revenge!”
“Lest, listen to me,” Frey spoke up as she and Lest held the charm together, “You can just focus on giving me your purification energy. I’ll handle the rest.”
“I’ll try…” Lest’s hesitance in his voice got Frey’s attention, “But I don’t know how I can do it…”
“Just focus the way you usually do when you’re casting magic,” Frey replied, “That purification spell is also a type of magic.”
Lest nodded in understanding, “Got it.”
The two Earthmates closed their eyes as a ball of light formed around the charm, quickly swallowing anything in the area. Ethelberd looked at the Earthmates swallowed by the light before it soon covered the crater he had created as well. He tried running in panic, but the light grew faster before he could escape his fate. All of the dead trees, monsters, and the corrupted runes quickly disappeared into the light, restoring the forest into its original state.
Sensing the familiar surroundings, Lest opened his eyes to see that he was back into the empty space of the forest, but without the flying leaves. He was on his own as Frey was nowhere to be seen, but he found something unexpected as he looked around for her. It was something he never dreamed of actually seeing.
The black soul of Ethelberd, slowly being eaten by the light, was floating in the middle of the white space. The parts which had been eaten slowly turned into smaller leaves, flying towards a vortex of other colorful leaves behind Ethelberd. It was the same place Lest saw Frey, who looked at him with a sad smile as she approached him.
“The process is going to take a lot of time here, but not if I take him into the Forest of Beginnings through this gate,” Frey said as she looked at Ethelberd, “He did what he shouldn’t and his punishment will be having his soul perish in the forest.”
“Then let’s take him there,” Lest suggested, but was confused when Frey shook her head, “Why? You said that it’ll be faster-”
“I did,” Frey cut in, “But that’s not the reason why we shouldn’t take him there. Or to be exact, that’s not the reason why you shouldn’t take him to the Forest of Beginnings.”
“If it’s because the forest isn’t a place for living beings, doesn’t that apply to you too?” Lest asked in response.
Frey looked at him for a moment before she closed her eyes and smiled once more, “I see that those two their promises after all, if you know nothing about my condition.”
“Your… condition…?” Lest looked at her in confusion.
“Lest,” Frey opened her eyes and looked at him, “I… am no longer alive…”
“W… What…?”
