Even talking Dragon Statues deserve to enjoy the festival too!
my take on human caldarus while i sit in the waiting room.
idk how to explain but he feels very rune factory 4 leon to me <3
coming out of hibernation to draw my new sickly dragon husband
Hey everyone! I’ve just uploaded new chapters of "Caldarus's Accidental Guide to Wooing a Farmer." Here’s a sneak peek from the latest chapter:
She hummed softly to herself as she tied off the ends of the flower crown, a satisfied smile playing on her lips as she admired her handiwork. With a gentle movement, she leaned forward, carefully lifting the delicate creation and placing it atop Caldarus’s head.
His gaze flickered up from his book, curiosity stirring as he regarded her with quiet intrigue. “Another one?” His voice held no protest, only mild surprise as though he had already anticipated such an outcome.
She grinned, her fingers still lingering near the crown as she adjusted it slightly. “Of course! You’re starting a collection now.”
A breath of amusement escaped him, a faint exhale that wasn’t quite a laugh but carried the essence of one. He made no move to remove it, allowing the memory of their first festival together to surface, the distant recollection of when she had first given him a flower crown, back when he had been nothing more than an unmoving stone figure in her fields.
Slowly he closed his book, letting it rest upon his lap as his gaze drifted to the flowers surrounding them. Reaching out he selected one, his fingers brushing over the soft petals as he turned his attention back to her. With deliberate care he leaned in, the space between them narrowing as he reached up, gently tucking the flower beneath her ear. His fingertips brushed against her hair, the strands soft beneath his touch as he adjusted the placement, ensuring it sat just right.
Isaria’s breath hitched, her heartbeat suddenly irregular, caught off guard by the unexpected gentleness of the gesture. A warmth crept up her neck, settling in her cheeks as she remained frozen under his touch, her mind scrambling to form a coherent response.
“There.” Caldarus said simply, his golden eyes studying her with an unreadable expression. “It suits you.”
Her fingers twitched slightly against her lap, the sudden flutter in her chest sending a ripple of warmth through her body. “Oh. Uhhh…” She cleared her throat, attempting to steady herself though the lingering sensation of his touch made it a challenge. “Thanks.”
His expression remained calm, entirely unaware of the effect he had just caused as though the simple act had held no deeper meaning beyond placing a flower in her hair.
Isaria let out a breath, shaking her head slightly as she reached for another flower, her hands busying themselves as she willed away the warmth creeping up her cheeks. “You know.” she mused, attempting a casual tone, “You have a habit of saying things that sound suspiciously like flirting.”
Caldarus blinked, his brow slightly furrowing, genuine curiosity flickering across his features. “Do I?”
She laughed, a light and breathy sound as she shook her head again. “Never mind.”

Oh mighty Caldarus, I kneel before your cosmic presence! The sheer power radiating from you, those glowing eyes, the celestial energy, the sheer dominance... Truly, I am but a speck of dust before your greatness! The way you loom, the divine authority in your stance, the overwhelming aura... I am in awe, utterly and completely. 😩✨
Call of the dragon
𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙼𝚒𝚛𝚛𝚘𝚛’𝚜 𝚃𝚛𝚞𝚝𝚑
[Scene: A quiet evening in a candle-lit study. Caldarus is seated at his desk, engrossed in an old tome while Isaria bursts into the room with an excited expression.]
Isaria: *grinning mischievously* Caldarus! I just met the most beautiful person in all of Mistria!
Caldarus: *barely glancing up, voice calm and measured* Have you now? And where pray tell, did you encounter such an individual?
Isaria: *dramatically pulls out a small ornate mirror and holds it up* Right here! Aren’t they just breathtaking?
Caldarus: *raises an eyebrow, setting his book down* You’re holding it the wrong way.
Isaria: *blinking, tilting her head* Huh?
Caldarus: *with an exasperated sigh, taking the mirror and turning it toward the farmer* Look again.
Isaria: *stiffens as she sees her own reflection, expression faltering for just a second* Oh...
Caldarus: *leaning slightly closer, his voice lowering to a rare, softer tone* Yes, you truly are beautiful.
Isaria: *scoffs lightly, setting the mirror down* Please, you’re ridiculous. That’s not what I meant.
Caldarus: *watching her closely* No? Then why the sudden interest in the floor?
Isaria: *crossing her arms, turning away just enough to hide the warmth creeping up her neck* I was just testing your perception. Clearly, you overthink things.
Caldarus: *chuckles, shaking his head as he returns to his book* If you say so.
Isaria: *grumbling under her breath, fidgeting with the edge of her sleeve* You’re still ridiculous.
Caldarus: *without looking up* And yet, you keep coming back.
Here’s a skit idea for my upcoming new chapters in Caldarus's Accidental Guide to Wooing a Farmer, more romantic shenanigans between our ethereal handsome dragon, Caldarus and my mysterious farmer, Isaria! Expect plenty of witty banter, unexpected moments and of course, Isaria trying (and failing) to keep her cool around Caldarus’s unintentional flirting and effortless charm.
Okay, so I’ve been gone for a few days because of work and the moment I finally finish everything and plan to enjoy my day off, I decide to take a nice long rest. But guess what? I end up having a freaking dream where I get isekaid, straight into my Farmer’s body. At that point, I just roll with it because honestly being isekaid sounds pretty cool.
Then out of nowhere Caldarus appears. He reaches for my hand, his touch sending a shiver down my spine.
"My beloved, you’re finally awake." His voice is deep, smooth...way too seductive for my sanity.
I freeze. Holy shit! He’s even more ethereal and majestic than I ever imagined, so much more than just a pixelated character on my screen.
Before I can say anything, he lifts my hand to his lips, pressing the softest kiss against my knuckles. "Have you truly forgotten me?" he murmurs, his gaze searching mine. "Or is fate merely testing me once more?"
I swear my brain short-circuits. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!
"I… I don’t understand." I stammer.
His grip tightens just slightly, his thumb tracing slow circles over my wrist. "Then allow me to remind you." he whispers, leaning in. "Body, soul and eternity. I have only ever belonged to you."
And that’s when I absolutely lose it. Oh my god. Is this a sign that I need to update my story since I have the day off?!
Now before you think I’m making this up or just being delusional, this is real. The last time I had a dream like this was back in 2020 when I dreamt about my OC self getting married to a Countryhumans character. I even made a whole comic about it!
Hey guys! I just uploaded a new chapter “Caldarus's Accidental Guide to Wooing a Farmer” Here’s a sneak peek:
“You’re catching on fast.” she admitted, a small smile tugging at her lips. “Maybe you won’t burn the kitchen down after all.”
Caldarus let out a low hum, his voice laced with dry amusement. “Your faith in me is truly touching. Should I take that as encouragement?”
“Take it as a miracle.” she shot back without missing a beat.
After finishing the prep, they moved on to the stove, where Isaria began explaining how to handle the cauldron properly. “Just a simple simmer. No excessive flames, no magical shortcuts, just patience.”
Caldarus nodded, setting the fire beneath the cauldron with measured control. Everything seemed to be going well until Isaria turned away for a mere moment to grab another ingredient. Before he could respond, a sudden boom shook the room, sending a burst of smoke billowing from the other side of the kitchen. Isaria whipped around, eyes widening at the sight of the cauldron, now engulfed in flames. “Oh, for the love of—! Caldarus! What did you do?!”
“I followed the steps exactly as you instructed.” he said, though his gaze flicked between the fire and her with mild concern.

Hey guys! I just wrote a new CaldarusXFarmer fanfic on AO3, titled "Caldarus's Accidental Guide to Wooing a Farmer" Here are some snippets from a few of the chapters!
A silence stretched between them. Isaria’s mind whirred, piecing the information together, her unease growing with every passing second. Before she could say anything, he inhaled deeply his movements sharp and twitchy and then with eerie composure, he continued. “However, I believe my measurements may have been off. Unless…” His golden eyes narrowed slightly, his head tilting with calculated curiosity. “The room appears to be vibrating. Do you perceive this as well?”
It took a moment for the realization to fully sink in and when it did Isaria froze, her stomach dropping. Gods above. This was happening. Caldarus, an ancient, powerful, cold-blooded dragon guardian had overdosed on caffeine.
“Oh, for the love of—!” She immediately went closer to him, reaching out before he could topple sideways. “Cal, you need to sit still before you vibrate out of existence.”
Here's the link of my fanfic...
Just had this unhinged crossover headcanon about my FOM farmer, Isaria, she's the cousin of my two SDV farmer sisters, Cerise and Rosemary. Now, imagine a family reunion where they introduce their lovers to each other. If you're confused, here's the lineup: Isaria is with Caldarus, Cerise is with Jio, and Rosemary is with Lance.
Now, picture how awkward that would be.
Caldarus is a dragon guardian of Mistria, Lance is a combat mage from the First Slash Clan, and Jio is not only an assassin but also an elf and a member of the Cult of the Lady with the Red Tail. Lance would probably be thrilled to meet an actual dragon, while Jio ever the cautious one would find Caldarus intimidating. Meanwhile, Caldarus though outwardly polite for Isaria’s sake, would remain on high alert, sensing the intense auras between these two men… and even those of Isaria’s cousins, especially Cerise.
Still out of respect for his farmer, he keeps his composure. But oh boy, the tension in that room would be off the charts.
[𝙵𝚊𝚖𝚒𝚕𝚢 𝚁𝚎𝚞𝚗𝚒𝚘𝚗 – 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙲𝚑𝚊𝚘𝚝𝚒𝚌 𝚈𝚎𝚝 𝚂𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝙲𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚕𝚒𝚣𝚎𝚍 𝙶𝚊𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐]
[Cerise, Rosemary, and Isaria stand together while their partners linger nearby. The air crackles with unspoken tension.]
Lance: *grinning, composed yet intrigued* A dragon guardian… Quite the rare sight. It is an honor to meet you.
Caldarus: *soft-spoken, yet watchful* And you must be the mage Isaria spoke of. The honor is mine.
Jio: *arms crossed, unimpressed* A dragon, a mage, and an assassin in one room. Sounds like the start of a bad joke.
Rosemary: *muttering* More like a disaster waiting to happen.
Lance: *chuckles* Oh, I assure you, I mean no trouble. Though I must admit, meeting a dragon is… fascinating.
Caldarus: *calmly observing both men* Likewise. It is rare to stand among those who carry such powerful auras.
Jio: *lowers voice, glancing at Cerise* I don’t trust him.
Cerise: *calmly sips tea* You don’t trust anyone.
Isaria: *forcing a smile* Okay! Let’s all just sit down and eat, yes? No battles, no tension, just a nice, peaceful meal.
[Caldarus offers a polite nod, ever the composed guardian. Jio remains wary, and Lance though clearly intrigued respects the unspoken boundaries. Out of respect for their partners, they all (reluctantly) take their seats.]
Rosemary: *whispering to Cerise* Ten gold says something breaks before dessert.
Cerise: Make it twenty.

(Found this in my old drafts, I wrote it before the FOM update. Would be a waste not to post it here. I also made a skit related to this one with Farmer and Caldarus but more unhinged/dramatic and longer skit. ➡️ Link)
[Setting: Caldarus has just broken free from his stone prison. Dust settles, magic crackles in the air, and the Farmer stands frozen, staring at the man before them.]
Farmer: *inhales sharply* Oh. My. Gods.
Caldarus: *blinking, adjusting to his newfound freedom* Yes, I—
Farmer: *gripping his shoulders* YOU’RE HOT!!!
Caldarus: *startled* What?
Farmer: *shaking him slightly* I knew you’d be attractive, but this? This is illegal!
Caldarus: *trying to recover from both the dramatic exit from his prison and this energy* I—well... Thank you, I suppose—
Farmer: *grabs his hands, eyes shining* You don’t understand. I was ready to marry a rock. I was prepared to take my vows in front of a lawn ornament.
Caldarus: *slowly processing* You were going to what?
Farmer: *serious nod* I was mentally prepared to wake up every day and say, ‘Good morning, my beloved paperweight.’
Caldarus: *rubbing his temples* I just broke free from my stoney prison, and this is what I’m met with?
Farmer: *grinning* Welcome back to the world, my dear! Wanna get married?
Caldarus: *sighs, but there’s an amused smile tugging at his lips* At least let me breathe first.
𝙱𝚘𝚗𝚞𝚜 𝙰𝚕𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚗𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝙴𝚗𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐:
Caldarus: *sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose* Fine. But if I hear one joke about rocks, I’m turning back into one.
Farmer: *gasps dramatically* You wouldn’t dare.
Caldarus: *raising an eyebrow* Try me.
Farmer: *grinning* Well, that’s just stone-cold of you.
Caldarus: *visibly struggling to maintain composure* I’m serious.
Farmer: *nodding* Of quartz you are.
Caldarus: *groans* I regret everything.
Farmer: *pats his shoulder* Don’t take me for granite.
Caldarus: *sighs, looking up at the sky as if pleading with the gods* I should have stayed petrified.
Farmer: *beaming* Too late, rock husband. You’re stuck with me now.
Caldarus: *despite himself, a small chuckle escapes* At least eternity won’t be boring.
Ohhh, this is such a fun question! I have so many Stardew Valley farmer OCs, but I’ll just pick a few for this.
Aleia → March
Oh, she’d absolutely go for March. A tsundere blacksmith? That’s a challenge she’d gladly take on. If she can handle an emo dude, March is nothing. Aleia’s smart, imaginative, and just chaotic enough to push all his buttons, delighting in every flustered reaction. At first, he’d find her constant teasing and unpredictable energy downright exhausting, but over time? He’d start expecting it. Then one day, as he works in the forge, he’d notice the silence, the absence of her usual antics and that’s when it hits him. He misses her and just like that, he’s doomed.
Cerise → Caldarus
Cerise and a dragon guardian? Absolutely. Her sharp instincts and level-headed nature match seamlessly with Caldarus’s wisdom and introspection. Both find peace in simple moments, her in crafting homemade chocolates and tending the farm, him in the stillness of nature. But as a former assassin with magic, she’s more than capable of protecting him. With his power still weak, she’d make sure he rests, bring him food, and casually remind him not to overexert himself. And if anyone dares to hurt him while he’s vulnerable? They’d be lucky if there was anything left of them to bury.
Rosemary → Balor
Balor’s wanderlust and Rosemary’s grounded nature balance each other perfectly. She wouldn’t try to tie him down, but would remind him that home is where you return. Their relationship would be full of playful teasing and mutual respect, he brings excitement to her life, and she becomes his anchor. Over time, he’d realize he wants to return to her and when he does, she’d simply smirk and say, “Guess you’re not as restless as you thought.”
Yvonne → Ryis
Yvonne’s sweet, patient nature and quiet strength would naturally draw Ryis in, his chill and hardworking demeanor complementing her perfectly. As a florist, she has a gentle touch and an eye for beauty, but she’s also fearless in the mines when needed. He’d admire how she balances kindness with strength, and she’d appreciate his steady support and quiet concern for others. They’d share soft moments in a cozy greenhouse, she’d bring him flowers with a tender smile, saying, “These reminded me of you,” while he’d secretly carve little trinkets for her to find. No grand gestures, just quiet companionship, knowing smiles and deep conversations under the moonlight.
Thalia → Hayden
Thalia would love Hayden. As a fellow farmer and a half-witch, she carries herself with charm and confidence, always playful and effortlessly flirtatious. Hayden, with his strong, dependable nature and steady presence, would balance out her lively mischief perfectly. She’d keep him on his toes, tossing flirty remarks his way while leaning against a fence, watching him work. “You work too hard, Hayden. Maybe you need someone to help you unwind.” she’d tease with a sly smile. He’d sigh, shaking his head. “And I suppose you’re volunteering?” She’d grin. “Oh, honey, I’ve been volunteering from the start.” He’d roll his eyes, pretending to be exasperated but deep down, he’s already smitten.
if ur stardew valley farmer was in fields of mistria then who would they romance
“The essence that you bring to me continues to slowly restore my power…Living in this form has certainly been an adjustment”
Local dragon takes secret showers to avoid suspicion
Mysterious dragon make my brain go brrrr
“The essence that you bring to me continues to slowly restore my power…Living in this form has certainly been an adjustment”
Something something when your dragon boyfriend sheds his immortal state to save you from an evil scroll
obsessed with the idea that the farmer and Caldarus are like,, lovers through different lifetimes, OBSESSED
I'm surprised that there's a wave of people that don't like Caldarus' design. Personally I really like it and I think it fits his personality and backstory (that we know of so far) very well. Caldarus is a curious, contemplative and mysterious, regal dragon god. He's also been asleep for a very long time and has been weakened by something (or someone) in the past that we have yet to discover. Of course he is on the frail side, the dragon man's been through it and he needs rest!! So yes, I think Caldarus' design suits him wonderfully.
I've managed to unlock Caldarus and good lord he's just too precious 😭💞 I've been interacting with him for a while now and he reminds me a lot of Yuzuki from Story of Seasons- Trio of Towns, who is also the most precious little bean in the world
