It's done. It's finally done ;_________;

that's one more commission scratched off my list.

The Heroic Legend of Arslan can be found on P@treon only as an exclusive!

[daryun]

One thing about Arslan Senki is that we have a few characters who aren't Parsian.

So I am curious about Jaswant's reaction to this foreign county's mythology actually being bleeding true. (What kind of implications does this have for Shindhuran mythology?)

n'awwww Jimsa seems to have left the picture after chapter 123, I think this is the last we see of him and he had a horse packed and ready to go.

I would love to have seen Jimsa also swearing at the gigantic Parsian Snake Monster. We'd be learning so much colourful Turanian.

In terms of our heroes in chapter 126

I really need to see Daryun's reaction. I need to know for legal reasons if he is the "If it's real I can kill it, obvs" or if he needs to overcome a "holy shit" moment.

I will patiently be waiting for chapter 127, it's bound to be a good one.

(The downside to this version of the story is there will be no Daryun catching Alfreed on Mt Damavand during an earthquake moment, unless that comes later? I just love him looking out for her)

----

Azar: “Do you think-” Narsus: “All the time! I’m a good thinker, you know!” Azar: “Sometimes I think you don’t. Anyway-” *queue Narsus offended face and Daryun die laughing in the corner*

----

Farah: “You’re … alive…” Azar: “Great observation, genius.” Farah: “But, you were dead!” Azar: *spitting out blood* “Well luckily you really are a failure.”

Gieve: *to Azar* Ten years of friendship and this is the treatment I get!” Azar: “I met you yesterday!”

From a discord conversation with my friends (translated) Friend A: *talking to their roommate* "Close the door, that will be better. Me: *thinking he was talking to me* "But… my door is already closed." Friend B: "Close it further. " Double Bonus: Friend A: "I was not talking to you, you Idiots!"

Tell me if you want more! (and @tired-reader-writer, you wrote that you are not feeling well. Hope this brightens your day a little!)

Hello! I understand that you may not know Japanese well, but I know that you know the Legend of Arslan well. What do you think Tanaka said here about Farangis and Giwa? Did he also talk there about “16 wings” and about the fact that “Each of them knows his own body completely”? What? Unclear. I would like to know what you think, as well as perhaps those who know Japanese. Here is the link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XJxgAD7R-s

(For reference, the video link is the final Wright Staff interview with Tanaka where he discussed the relationship between Gieve and Farangis.)

I'm gonna go right ahead and say I really don't know Japanese at all, I've never studied it and without OCR/machine translation etc I can only really pick out the odd word! The automatic closed caption translation on this video wasn't clear at all, though I had slightly better luck extracting the Japanese captions and looking at those. Just be aware that I may make some errors!

Regarding what Tanaka had to say about Gieve and Farangis, after teasing us with the title of the video he didn't really say anything new about their relationship. Essentially, he said that he left the nature of their relationship ambiguous, and left it for readers to decide for themselves. Some people may think that the two of them were never together right up to the end, while others may think there was actually something between them.

As far as I can tell, the line about the 16 generals refers to the fact that other than Farangis and Gieve, the rest of them are well known (in terms of their origins, history etc, whereas for Gieve and Farangis there's a bit of mystery about their lives before meeting Arslan, though we do learn a little bit about Farangis's backstory later).

The most interesting (and kinda sad) tidbit of information that came out of this video was the fact that Tanaka said Arslan longed for love (アルスラーンなんかのはもう子供の恋愛時代に憧れてるようなそういう for anyone who wants to translate that bit, looks like Tanaka said that someone like Arslan already seemed to long for love/romance in childhood).

Okay, here's another piece of treasure from the old hard drive. I screenshot this from Twitter years ago; I can't find the account that posted it anymore so this image will have to do. But I did confirm that this translated snippet is from the long interview with Tanaka that was published in the Reader's Guide.

(I think Tanaka's view / intent for magic within the series is pretty clear, but it's interesting to see his comments on it nonetheless.)

Some days, Twitter is a simmering hellbroth. Other days, the landscape is made glorious by people like this.

[mademoiselle-crabaletta]

Listen I know everyone on this site loves and adores Hiromu Arakawa for making fma, but I personally can NEVER forgive her for giving Arslan 0 drip and making Daryun ugly. And also making everyone super pale for some reason.

Day Two - Oger Omelette

Gojeggre is a creation of the Iron Bowl Clan, a group that immigrated from Iran with ties to Persian culture, which they share through their food. This dish of scrambled eggs cooked within a layer of tomato sauce is known to stare down opposing Mealsters to weaken their stance. They are a stern Mealster to face off against, especially if it’s a battle of willpower. Unfortunately, the Ivory Dish Company has been making moves to take the recipe from the Iron Bowl Clan, which has led them to isolate themselves to protect their culture from these scavengers.
