So I forgot that when you gave people weapons they’d use them, even if it wasn’t the same type as their default weapon. So for Darroch’s birthday I gave him the Friendship Rod because it’s what I had the mats to craft.

Cut to like a season later and he invites himself to my party and this happens

I’m. WHEEZING.

#rune factory 5 #rf5 #darroch is great #like the gruff male relative you aren’t sure how you’re related to but get along with #I also remember to talk to him every day #because the smithy is so close to the farm #so that probably helps #really kinda disappointed with all the marriage candidates #I fell head over heels for Dylas Forte and Dolce though #haven’t met Ludmilla yet though I have high hopes for her #thinking about just making a save to marry each one #since there’s TWENTY SAVE SLOTS GOOD GOD

Spamton is a very bizarre parallel to Metatton, but have you ever stopped to go back to the amount of similarities between Jevil and Sans ?

Wait a minute... What if the secret bosses are the ones on the genocide route but in reverse ???

Jevil was FIRST and sans is LAST

Spamton NEO is second and Mettaton NEO is next to last

Does that mean the next one will be a parallel to Undyne... With Her in the darkworld at the same time ???

Both: “Do you want to talk about Alice?”

Both: *gasping, then excitedly* “Yes! That’s all I ever want to talk about!”

I feel your pain with the well on RF5, I accidentally broke my fertilizer bin in a similar fashion- I had moved it to the right of the field, a boulder spawned next to it so I went to break it with my hammer, and... You get the picture.

Glad you're also enjoying the game though!

Really wishing I could marry a certain dwarf again...

In honor of his day, I watched both My Bloody Valentine movies today, and I've got some Harry Warden thoughts to share - especially regarding my pet headcanon of him as a Michael-Myers-esque liminal holiday-haunting. (Keep in mind this is not intended to be dogmatic, and I could easily be completely wrong, but I'm absolutely gonna die on this hill.)

For the record - and I realize it's an unpopular opinion - I prefer the remake to the original (for reasons, leave me alone), and it's the remake I'll mostly be talking about here, but let's start with the OG movie. Spoilers ahead, if that matters to you. Also, I think this is even longer than my post about Vincent's face, so buckle up.

So, to recap the original:

Harry Warden, along with a four others, ends up trapped in the mine after his supervisors cut corners and leave early so they can go to the town's valentine's day dance. After six weeks, they finally dig them out, but Harry is the only one still alive - he'd killed and eaten the others to survive. He spends a year in a mental institution before returning (on Valentine's day) to kill the supervisors that caused the cave in - and then disappears again. Twenty years later, the town dares to hold the Valentine's dance again - and back comes Harry Warden to paint the town red (literally).

... Or does he? We find out that the real Harry Warden actually died five years ago, and when the miner is unmasked he turns out to be Axel - bf of the heroine and old friend(?) of TJ, the protagonist. It is revealed that one of the supervisors Harry killed twenty years ago was Axel's father, and Axel (a young child at this point) had witnessed the murder. He ends up separated from the others by a small cave in and loses an arm in the rubble, but manages to run away after some crazy mutterings.

We are left to understand that watching Harry kill his father traumatized him and caused some kind of insanity to take root, which led to this mental break. Which, okay, sure - it's not an unusual motivation for a killer in this genre. To round out this section, I'm going to note some of Axel's final lines (without telling you why it's important yet):

"Harry, I'm coming!" and "we're coming back, you bastards!"

Now on to the remake.

It mostly follows in the footsteps of the original, with a few twists. This time, Harry ends up trapped in the mine with 5 other men because our protagonist, Tom (this movie's version of TJ, and also the son of the mine owner), forgets to double check the standard safety precautions before he leaves (for a Valentine's party with his friends, I think). In this case, it's more of a genuine accident than negligent slacking, but either way the deed is done.

They dig him out sooner this time (after less than a week, I'm pretty sure), but he's 'in critical condition... delusional and combative' - and still the only survivor. They eventually retrieve all the bodies and realize the men were killed by pickaxe blows (but not cannibalized), and theorize that Harry killed them all to conserve his own oxygen. They can't ask Harry, because he's in the hospital in a coma - where he stays for a whole year, until next Valentine's day. At which point he wakes up, massacres an entire wing of the hospital, and escapes.

He shows up at the mines, where Tom is attending a party with his girlfriend, and slaughters a bunch of people again. He finally ends up face-to-face with Tom and tries to kill him, but the police chief arrives and shoots him a few times. He stumbles away into the mine, and the story goes that he was never found but is presumed dead. Tom is shaken and moves away.

When the murderous miner turns up again ten years later, right after Tom returns to his hometown to sell the mine, everyone assumes Harry is back - especially since he seems to be gunning for Tom in particular - until we find out that the sheriff and a couple other town elders had actually found, killed, and buried him out in the woods after the attack at the mine - keeping it a secret since they basically executed him without due process. Except... when they go to check the body, it's gone, along with all his stuff! So maybe it is him after all?

Nope, it isn't. And it's not Axel, either, unlike the original movie. It was Tom the whole time, but the thing is... he doesn't seem to be aware of it. He seems to truly believe the miner is some other person (Axel, he thinks) - he sees him, after all. He has no reason to suspect what he's seeing isn't real.

During the climax, Axel reveals that he found records of Tom having been in a mental institution up until recently, right before Tom starts to panic as "Harry Warden" approaches them - much to the confusion of the two other people present, who, in fact, don't see anything where he's pointing.

Tom begins to have flashbacks which show him committing the murders he previously attributed to Harry (as well as taking his mask, etc from his makeshift grave site):

He's visibly distressed and confused both during and immediately after these flashbacks -- right up until this moment:

Sarah: Harry's not here, Tom.

Axel: No... he's here. Aren't you, Harry? You living inside Tom?

Tom(?): Oh, I'm right here.

Notice that sudden shift? Expression, tone of voice, emotional state - it all changes like a switch has been flipped. And from here on, he doesn't seem to be 'Tom' anymore. He proceeds to chase Axel and Sarah (whom he has always been shown to care deeply about, and protect, btw) around the mine, while wearing an expression we've never seen on him before, until he gets shot, part of the mine caves in around him, and Axel and Sarah make it out. They assume Tom(?) was killed in the cave in (he wasn't; he is canonically still alive and I want a sequel, damn it, but that's off topic).

So: the guy's just crazy again, right? Dissociative Identity Disorder or something? Well, let's talk about that, because...

For my money, the answer is no.

Do you remember those lines of dialogue from the original film that I noted earlier? Contrast those with the ones just above.

"We're coming back" vs. "I'm right here."

Axel never claims to be Harry Warden (I'm pretty sure) - nor is he shown in that light - it's more like he's taken up the mantle. Tom, on the other hand...

Visually, the movie seems to be making a pretty clear point here -- and that point is supernatural possession.

But Rune, I hear you say, these things could easily be explained by DID! They did make specific mention of his time in a mental institution, after all. Besides, nothing explicitly paranormal has happened in the movie before now.

And you're right! You're so smart!! But let me tell you why I believe the scales tip in the direction of possession. Remember how I said Tom found where Harry was buried and took his mask and pickaxe? And remember how I also said that Harry's grave site was a well-kept secret (like a 'take this to my grave' kind of secret)?? Yeah.

How would Tom - who hasn't been back to his hometown in a decade, I might add - know where to find Harry's grave? He walked right up to it and started digging. While we're at it, I'd like to point out that when Harry did this in the beginning:

Tom wasn't there yet to see it. But see what he's doing in the gifs above? No way is that a coincidence.

So, in light of all the evidence provided herein, my statement is this: Tom doesn't have DID, nor is he "copying" Harry -- he's possessed by him. Probably has been since before he left Harmony (leading to whatever symptoms landed him in an institution). And he wasn't even aware of it until the end of the movie.

In conclusion, I hereby propose that Harry Warden officially be included in the 'supernatural slashers' category.

Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk.

#Rune writes #I guess #Harry Warden #My Bloody Valentine #slashers #slasher fandom #this is long. I need to stop doing this #also wanted to talk about how Harry himself might not even be the possessing spirit #mines are often considered to be places where the veil between worlds/realities/whatever is thin. or places where Something Old Sleeps #there could have been something nonhuman down there that got Harry first #(leading to the murder of the other miners and his 'delusional and combative' state upon his reemergence. and all the violence since) #and after Harry died the being changed hosts to someone close by and connected to the events and in a vulnerable state emotionally #but that's strictly conjecture based on my immense love of the Old Gods of Appalachia podcast

new incoming god!merlin hc: due to the amount of scars littering his body his skin somewhat resembles a mosaic whenever he's accessing his true power as emrys. His scars shine golden as if he were glowing from within.

#A bit like the rune markings in shadow hunters if you know what I'm talking about #It's so hard to explain what I'm picturing #But basically every scar merlin has glows gold whenever he accesses his power as emrys #merlin emrys #bbc merlin

Doug and Margaret being close enough friends to travel together & dine together in rune factory 5 just gets me so much…..I’ve always shipped dougxfrey and margaretxforte and played Frey and Forte as best friends. Frey knowing Forte is too shy about love and helping her and Margaret get together. The four of them have double dates and dungeon expeditions. They travel the world together and raise their kids together and grow old together. Lifelong friends and soulmates. But Frey and Forte don’t have the same longevity as a dwarf or an elf. And eventually it is just Margaret and Doug, sitting together in Elje’s restaurant regaling memories of their loved ones and making new memories together in honor of their timeless companionship. Doesn’t that new SEED ranger remind you of Frey?

#rune factory #rune factory 5 #rune factory 4 #both of them talk about Selphia as ‘a long time ago’ #but so far it’s been pretty ambiguous just how long it’s been #I also ship freyxforte but that doesnt fit in to this headcannon as well lmao
