[Magi reread] Night 77: Sindria Kingdom

:sigh: the thing a person does to avoid studying.

Jokes semi-aside, tho, I was genuinely kinda jumping fandoms recently, and naturally it included Magi. I genuinely hope I'll be able to finish TtPS2 this year, tho I make no promises. But whatevs, chapter.

:deepest sigh: and here we have it. Yet another timeskip. Ohtaka sure is fond of these, as we know. You will hear me complain about it every time.

Wish we'd got more of their relationship, ngl. Aside from some stuff in Sindria, I mostly recall stuff from the Second Balbadd Arc, and while I consider the beginning of the arc to be awful, Masrur and Morgiana's talk was one of the few things I really enjoyed.

Sindria thrives on trade & tourism. Also, recently talked with Yudja how short-sighed Sinbad's choice in the island was, bc it's attacked by monsters etc, and while, sure, there are the 8 Generals and Sinbad himself, but what about when they're gone? And they are gone by the Final Arc. Wish we got to see more of how the country's doing bc of that. Like, I personally headcanon that they weren't just, y'know, hoping for the best, and I can imagine Dragul especially being in charge of teaching people how to defend it in their place, but, man, wish we got more info.

Ah, yes, Sinbad, Sharrkan and... the other guy.

Jk, I know it's Spartos and all, but bro is he completely overshadowed by everybody else. Like, I can't recall him soing anything significant. Or even semi-significant. Like, he's there, and then he's the King, and that's all I can remember. I'll correct myself if I see more, but my memory is doing him no favors. He doesn't even get anyting from Sinbad no Bouken...

Tbh, it's a huge shame, bc Spartos is in the perfect position to doubt Sinbad in the Final Arc. Or, in general. Like, bro got his brother killed. Obviously not on purpose and all that, but with that knowledge it'd be very interesting to know his thoughts on everything. It's definitely irrelevant to my Final Arc rewrite, definitely

Like, Ja'far is obvious. Yamraiha, tbh, too, gets some focus. Dragul and Hinahoho at least have SnB. But Pisti's another RIP case here, bc while she's got at least sooome spotlight, it's still very little, and for the most part she's just kinda there. Huge shame.

Sure they will.

It's still funny that we end up on Kou's side by the end of the manga.

Man, that would've been so cool to see : )

Shit move

Rereading this part, kinda cool. Like, awful, obviously, but it sounds like a pretty good plan all things considered.

Man, wouldn't it have been interesting to see.

Also, I dislike Koutoku like any other person, but I do kinda wish we knew more about him. What kind of ruler was he and all that.

Aww, look at Ja'far's smile :]

Sure they will

Several things: 1. wOuLdNt iT bE cOoL tO sEe tHat (especially with Ja'far telling Sinbad they got better etc. but ofc aftermath is something Ohtaka skips all the fucking time) 2. Something about the fact that Sinbad looks genuinely sad here. Like, he's shady, he's cunning, he's not above using people like tools, but he isn't beyond feeling for others, either. Not yet, at least. It kinda reminds you (retrospect and all) that from the very beginning he wanted to make the world a better place. He wanted to be the one to make the world a better place, sure, but the ultimate goal was still noble, and it came from the understanding that the world around them is awful, but COULD be changed.

And, when you really think about it, he knows what it feels like to do everything you can, and still lose your country. He's truly been there.

It's all the more tragic what he becomes later on.

Well, he didn't expect much from Alibaba at the beginning, so he sure must've been positively surprised by him.

Also, hope and bravery <3

Love Alibaba's smile in that panel where he's next to Ja'far, but...

Sinbad is a fatphobe...

Alright, he catches himself on that, I'll give him that.

Listen, it is kinda funny, mostly bc of Sinbad's expressions, but it doesn't change the fact, that the joke is entirely based on the hahaha Alibaba and Aladdin are fat now so they're hard to be taken seriously, and... Idk what else. The joke is that they're fat. That's the joke.

Yea, I don't find it very funny.

I say a lot about Ohtaka's questionable sense of humor, which very much includes literal fatphobia, but you get what I mean, right? There's nothing wrong with characters gaining weight etc, but the problem is the way it's framed here. Like I said, as a joke. As something that makes them less worthy of respect. Even the way they're drawn is meant to be funny. You can draw fat people and make them look good, but that's not Ohtaka's goal here. Her goal is to make fun of the way they look. I mean, look at Aladdin.

:sigh:

On a side-note, a fun fact I can offer (I already have at some point, I think, but whatevs) is that there was a study & long story short if mother faced food scarcity during pregnancy, the kid was likely to gain weight easier than children of mother's who weren't food insecure at the time. So Alibaba gaining weight quickly, which is stated as his weakness, makes sense.

Anyway, just SIGH.

Juvia 🌧️🫧🌊

I absolutely love her design and hate the way her character journey was undermined by the author. She has one of the strongest magical abilities and yet her only role is to be a comic relief. What I’ve imagined for her is an interesting inner turmoil and the most fascinating fight scenes, rather than constantly humiliating herself in front of her love interest. Speaking of Gray, it’s easy to see the reason for his discomfort in this relationship, as he is a proud and independent person who can’t stand a lack of self-respect.

One more thing I missed in canon is the juxtaposition between Juvia and Natsu, since their powers are complete opposites of each other. Imagine the world where we got her in full force, being the major threat same as Erza and Mirajane?

i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken

Notes on passing out from pain

-it's a dramatic concept, but it's not dramatic for the person it happens to. There's no warning or noticable buildup, you just fade out

-by the time you're at the point of passing out, the crescendo of pain that causes it has been there for some time, there's not really a sudden spike that sets it off

-essentially your brain decides "this has been going on a really long time and it doesn't look like we can stop it so I'm just going to shut off and hope it goes away"

-it doesn't last long, just 5-15 minutes at a time, followed by you being awake and in pain for about the same time before your brain goes "whoops, guess it's not over" and shuts off again

-this on again off again bullshit can go on for HOURS, basically as long as you are in that level of pain (i.e. I woke up at 8am and it's now 1pm; I have passed out more than a dozen times)

-the worst part is that you don't notice it happening

-it's incredibly aggravating especially when you dream about being productive/somewhere else/wherever you planned to go before this bullshit wrecked your day while you're out, and then have to wake up to another round of passing out without having accomplished a goddamn thing

-it's also aggravating because you can't control it; you can't see it coming so you can't fight it, your brain just decides it knows better than you and shuts off

-so imagine a whumpee who keeps passing out and dreaming of rescue, or completing their mission, or escaping the whumper, or fighting back (and winning)

-imagine this happening over and over, not just aggravating but horribly traumatic and essentially a kind of torture in itself, their own body and brain betraying them

-passing out from pain is a pain in the ass, feel free to explore every aspect of it
