[leonsnose]

As an autistic girl I'm proud to say that Baldwin IV has been my specific interest for 3 years now 😌🤧

[bordelz]

Non exhaustive list of IS I had and are periodically reactivated :

Secret services and spy history (real shit only, I dislike most spy movies, fiction is not as interesting as reality in this case)

Early human history and ancient ecology

Phylogenetic

Edible plants + local plants and trees

Printing techniques

Alphabets and languages, neo languages, vocabulary

Terrariophily and aquariophily (try not to engage much 'cause I tend to spend time and money on this and after a few month I can't maintain the effort it needs)

Autogestion, collective democratie and group governance tools

Self help, risk reduction and collective care

Punk scenes, art, values and history

Body and sensations : related art, bodmod, body play, bdsm, self portrait

Theology, mythologies, biblical and catholic lore + animisms, paganims, pantheons...

Oral traditions, tales, expressions

Mecanic, industrial and heavy machinery

Fibre art

Feel free to share on these subjects ! And even on adjacent ones, I am easily enthousiastic about things other are enthousiast with !

Also you can follow me here or on my main, @ortie-pnk

I love when things are connected. I love kaleidoscopic views. kaleidoscopic narration. I love it so much when you start to think about something and then, you found it's linked to all of the others things you thought before. I love this. Kaleidoscopes. I love it.

TW: Heavily implied Child Abuse

Stowaway AU where Pacifica becomes a stowaway on the Stan-O-War 2 after trying to run away from home to California. Things don’t exactly work out as planned, but at least she’s got a “Summer Internship” away from her parents now!

I've seen a good number of people ask a question along the lines of "why do characters like Falin and hate Laios when they're so similar?" and i've also seen good analysis on the differences in how the touden siblings carry themselves that would, despite their shared traits, make a person gravitate to one more than the other.

But i feel like we've overseen one very central thing here.

People don't like Falin

Like... the average person in dungeon meshi doesn't like Falin. She was deeply ostrasized by her home village, in magic school she had zero friends before Marcille and the others generally saw her as strange and a bit offputting.

Characters like Namari and Chilchuck like her well enough but not necessarily more than any other member of their party, including Laios. Neither Kabru nor his party think much of her. The canaries don't give a fuck about her. Toshiro's retainers don't see her as anything else than the weird foreign girl their boss has a crush on.

The reason we think everyone loves Falin is because, despite all the indifferent side characters, the 2 most important and central characters of the story are Laios and Marcille. Who are NOT representative of the average attitudes to Falin! But necromancy georg number 1 and 2 are our main eyes into the story and they love Falin so much that it colours our perspective of the whole world.

The only side character who qualifies as liking Falin and not Laios is Toshiro (at least at first, as he ends the story on much better terms with Laios) and that says a lot about his character, with him drifting to the quiet Falin precisely because of her oddness but being both uncomfortable with and deeply jealous of Laios' much more open expression of that oddness. Because he's a repressed guy from a culture where etiquette is incredibly important.

But like I said, that's a specific aspect of him, not to the world at large.

Because there's also people that click more with laios than with Falin.

Kabru, for one, who is initially distrustful of laios but clearly also deeply fascinated by him and drawn to him.

Minor spoilers, and you don't have to read too deeply into this, because I don't think Kabru particularly dislikes Falin or anything. But it's interesting that when he talks about his distrust of the toudens in ch.32 he's talking about them both. But his big friendship declaration in chapter 76 is aimed squarely at Laios, he doesn't say "you and your sister" he says "you"

And Senshi!! He instantly clicks with Laios, well before he does so with anyone else in the party– who he also becomes friends with, it just takes a bit longer– specifically because they bond over their shared special interest in monsters!! Senshi is kind towards Falin and cares for her wellbeing, but he also... doesn't know her. The reason he is even here, helping to save her, is because he and Laios bonded over monsters and he wants to help his new friends out!

Of course, the theme of neurodivergent isolation is very present in Laios' story. I'm not denying that. He does turn people off, without meaning to and unable to fully understand why! But so does Falin. And just like there are people who like her despite of or even because of those traits, there are people who do the same with him.

In conclusion: "Average person loves Falin and hates Laios" factoid actually statistical error. Average person is neutral on both Falin and Laios. Georcille, Laiorg and Geoshiro, who live in the dungeon and think over 10,000 Falin-loving thoughts a day, are statistical outliers adn should not have been counted.

not to be the too woke friend but sometimes it feels like yall just say "aroace people can still date" as an excuse to ship aroace characters without addressing how their romanticism and sexuality might actually play into said relationship. why do you want them to date so badly Hm

Line up!!

A few notes of my thoughts:

kris wears a turtleneck sweater bc. Bc i think itd be cute thats all (i should consider fingerless gloves for them too...

Susie lizard freckles. Noelle deer freckles. Different textured freckles. But freckles nonetheless

Berdlys glasses pinch to his beak (why would it have halters when he literally doesnt have ears it could hold onto

Noelle has bells on her dark world robe. Jingle jingle

Leather shoulder pauldron for susie... girl pls wear at least a little armor if youre gonna be the tank (i drew the strap too low lol its supposed to go over the top of her chest and under her armpit... oopsie

Pins and trinkets for susie too :) some made by her some made by lancer some by ralsei

I drew kris' pauldrons on the wrong side oops imagine its on the other shoulder

Kris would have a lot of pouches bc i mean look at the amount of junk we make them carry around lmao

Heart shaped knee pads & breastplate

Ralsei also has pouches bc i think hed be the mom friend who has all the essentials in it (compared to kris who has a bunch of random shit in their inventory lol

Anyways some more doodles:

^trying to figure out how to draw noelle susie and kris consistently in my style. you can see the heart shaped breastplate better here

Final manifestations for Book 7?

I'm trying REALLY hard not to build up any solid expectations, because I wanna go in ~fresh~! they're already so far away from anything I thought would happen (not in a bad way, I'm just accepting that I'm on Miss Yana's Wild Ride at this point and we're seeing this thing through 'til the end, by gum). so it's nothing too major, but:

they've been handing new crying expressions out like candy lately, I want to see some delicious Malleus tears.

honestly I want everyone to cry buckets. their tears sustain me. the more Silver angst specifically I get the happier I am.

SILVER!!!! 👏 VANROUGE!!!! 👏

just let him have this. the poor boy's been through so much. let him have his big "I'm proud of you, son" moment with Lilia.

I'm 100% expecting Grim's arc (and probably whatever's going on with Crowley) to be its own episode, but a nice hook to leave us hanging on would be good!

a nice hook though, please, I don't think I can take another "Grim is attacking us! now wait eight months to find out what happens :)" cliffhanger...

some Meleanor? as a treat? just a little bit, a tiny quick flashback or something, please Twst I just, I just want to see her again. let her have a little ghost cameo like Dawnathan Knight got. Lilia and his kids are all having their big group hug or whatever and she can gently fade in to be all like

(turning asks off until I'm done playing, SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE Y'ALL)
