I maintain the headcanon that “goblins” in Dungeon Meshi are just half-foots.

I know multiple characters reference goblins as a distinct demihuman race, including Chilchuck who himself is a half-foot; however, the theme of “This classic fantasy race doesn’t actually exist in this universe and is a story made up by the other races” happened at least twice in Dungeon Meshi between trolls and dark elves, and I don’t think I’m crazy for thinking it could happen again for half-foots.

extremely unrelatable Queen's Thief post:

Still and forever a little...surprised??...that the author decided to name Sophos's shitty tutor 'Malatesta'. And he's fake-Italian?? And he loves overwrought romantic poetry and doesn't care for the fake-Iliad?? And he's scamming the royal family of Sounis??? It's too bad that he is apparently so into physical punishment because re: everything else...strong candidate to class hero

One of the fun things about RPGs is if you don't like how something plays out in the game, you can just write a different version in your head and that's canon to you! What they don't tell you is that, in addition to things like story beats and character arcs, this can also apply when you picture something going down one way, but game mechanics make it easier to the thing another way.

In an AU in which Daine and Varice swap places, Daine is the caretaker for the emperor's birds. She is a pet novelty, she gets to look after the menagerie as well, but her title is Master of the Birds or some such. She's been frustrated for years about not being able to get similar rights for the slaves who work with the animals; the communism of animals has radicalized her somewhat, though she does have alarming opinions about cannibalism.

Varice is invited to the talks because she's a powerful mage, and it's very nice! She's never been to Thak University before, and there's so many people meeting her at a higher level. But also. They keep trying to isolate her from the people around, and not let her look into the fabric making and the kitchens and all the places where she usually does her work. So she runs into Daine in the servants' halls of the palace, and because Varice believes in friendship, they bond.

She runs into Daine in the servants' quarters later, too, after they've executed Numair and she is flushed with a goddess's power. "Where are you going?" Daine asks her.

"To the graveyards," says Varice. "I'm going to raise the dead and -"

"Oh, you don't want those dead," says Daine. "Come with me," and shows her the halls of the dinosaur skeletons.

I think another element of Orym's involvement in this whole plot that is getting misconstrued or otherwise used inappropriately is Liam's statement that Orym can't be objective about this.

It's true that he can't be objective about the person who murdered his husband! I think very few people would be! But that doesn't change the fact that it is in fact completely and yeah, objectively true that the Vanguard murdered his husband because they wanted to get to Keyleth to test if Vax would show up, and so Keyleth's guards obviously tried to prevent an attack on Keyleth, and not only were they killed for defending her, they were killed in a way that specifically prevented resurrection, to no known benefit.

Orym's lack of objectivity doesn't mean he's in the wrong or that he should have to make himself to see the other side of "maybe the people who killed innocent guards as part of their moon experiments have a point." It just means that, for example, even if Abbadina is very pleasantly and calmly saying "oh I don't have any stakes in the moon thing nor do I know this guy who talked over the ley line broadcasting system, I just think he's right about the gods," he's going to leave the house and sleep outside instead of calmly listening. He's not going to be able to make that more general and detached argument about power and murder that Laudna and Ashton can make (also informed by their past experiences, but a little more removed). This is, for him, extremely personal; but he is still correct.

I think a comparable if obviously much less morally/theologically fraught example would be that Laudna, understandably, gets upset when Ashton talks to her about his own experiences with loneliness. It's a great scene, because both characters have experienced pretty profoundly lonely times in their lives.

Would it be appropriate for someone to say "well, Laudna obviously can't be objective here; she's relying too much on her own past experiences to inform her judgment, so we should ignore her"? I think it's pretty obvious that's an absolutely fucking stupid thing to say; but that's what people are saying when they're bringing up Orym's emotional response. People are still allowed to have pretty strong subjective feelings about things that objectively happened.

AU starter for @prxnceofthepride

ㅤTHE MOON WAS FULL & BRIGHT, shining onto the dunes and sparse flora. Coyote bandits scrambled their paws in the sand, fleeing from the Masked lion. Hidden under that mask would be juvenile Prince Jeduluh, who's ever-growing size and sturdy sword granted him the natural ability to force opponents away. With his little brother hooked under an arm, now safe and sound, he found his way back to his supply wagon. He placed the cub on a stone. 

He leant a paw against the wagon, facing away. The wind carried hints of a growl to the cub. ❝ You could have been ... lost. ❞ Whether or not Prince Bahati knew he meant killed he didn't know. Perhaps the stowaway cub would instead notice the hypocrisy; wouldn't their parents say the same thing to Jeduluh at finding out he himself snuck out from the palace — beyond even the main city — into the heart of the wilderness ?
