J'essaie de rattraper mon retour : ces photos datent de fin juillet, lors de la visite de mon ami breton, Christian (ici en ange) !
Marseille, la Madrague-de-Montredon la nuit.
Pour info, les arapèdes est le nom régional pour "patelle"...d'où l'expression locale "collé comme un(e) arapède"... "Un" ou "une" ? Je n'ai jamais su)

I've just come across the realization that 2 shows I absolutely adore have made an attempt at a very similar type of villain, and while one worked, even though she wasn't appreciated by everyone, the second one is recognized by the entire fandom to have been messily written.
So now I'm going to try, through comparison, to see why Dante from FMA 2003 feels much better written than Oropo from Wakfu.
First and foremost, some basic presentation.
[Warning: spoiler for both shows, I'm doing an analysis so I need to work with what the shows gave]
Dante is a normal woman, an alchemist who unlike most managed to create the Philosopher Stone, and to transmute a human soul within another human body, effectively making her immortal through soul transfer. She takes in the results of failed human transmutation, homonculi, and raises them into faithful followers, promising them to make them human. She uses them to keep tabs on alchemist with the potential to create the Stone, and to create situations where people would get tempted to seek or create it (usually through conflicts, wars and massacres). Her goal is to obtain the Stone for herself without dirtying her own hands, and to stay young and beautiful through body-hopping. She also wants to get back at Hohenheim for leaving her.
Oropo is the result of Yugo's use of the Six Eliatrope Dofus. Sent at the beginning of time with all of his kin, and learning all the while, he has much more knowledge than the average human, and is similar to immortal due to the way life energy gets transfered from one eliotrope to another when one dies. He takes in demigods like him and convinces them to follow him by promising them they'll replace the gods and be able to do better than them. He uses them to accomplish his goals, obtain the artifacts necessary to his goals and make sure that the events that caused his own birth do happen. His goal is to replace the gods and obtain Yugo's energy to avoid death, he also wants to get back at Yugo for creating him then leaving him in the dirt.
In a way I bet you can see the similarities that caused my reflexion, and you also might already see one reason why Oropo's writing is already a bit difficult: time travel created a paradox in which he existed before his own birth, making his creator unaware of his existence, and so incapable of helping him in any way. Convoluted situation aside, and it's worth noting it isn't helping, it already makes one of his goals illogical. I don't mean to equate illogical with emotional, mind you, Dante wanting to get back at Hohenheim is just as emotional, but the reason why Yugo wasn't there for Oropo was because he couldn't be there, for a long time he didn't even exist! How was he supposed to help? And Oropo knows this, but chooses to ignore this information. On the other hand, Hohenheim leaving was his decision, he was aware of Dante and decided to leave her, so while it is an emotional matter it is also understandable why Dante would be angry at him. Add this to the fact that Yugo is the protagonist, a character most people like even when he makes mistakes, whereas Hohenheim is usually considered an asshole, or at least a guy who made very questionable decisions, and you get very different reactions from the audience.
I'm only getting started though, because another problem has to do with the characters they're surrounded with.
Dante has the homonculi : humans but not quite, emotionally torn by their nature, that Dante raises from birth into obedient servants, holding them on a leash with a promise of humanity. They're here from episode one, usually cold and uncaring, you still get to see their more emotional side, through Lust and Wrath mainly, but also with Greed, Sloth and Envy. Those are characters who seem simple on the outside, but who actually have depth. Dante however sees them as tools, never anything more. It starts with the way she names them and it ends with her taking away Gluttony's mind, which is also the cause of her own downfall. She believes herself superior to others, and the homonculi inferior to all. She remains consistent on that matter. The only character she actually has respect for is Hohenheim, she has a bit of respect for the Elric brothers, a little bit for Izumi, and that's as far as it goes. Pretty women are vessels, others are either Stone-producer material or just Stone material.
Oropo, on his end, has the Brotherhood. They are demigods who grew-up in bad environments, who he took in and promised them he would help them change the world. He calls them siblings, and makes them call each other siblings, while Oropo's tower seems to establish a form of hierarchy, in practice they have a status almost equal to his. They only start appearing in the OVAs (the manga if you have them), and most of their screentime is focused on action scenes, Echo being the biggest exception, Adamai being a special case, and Coqueline and Ush arguably. They're all implied to have depth, there's a buch of lore about them, but the show never quite gets there. Oropo sees them as replacement for the Brotherhood of the Tofu, as such he seems to spend time with them, gets to know them, they aren’t just tools to him, but in the end he keeps projecting other people onto them (we regrettably don't get to really see it, the closest ones are again Adamai, because Adamai, and Echo who "replaces" Amalia). He's a bit inconsistent with the way he treats them, usually talks of them as brothers, and yet still infantilizing them, punishing them for thinking for themselves even though he encourages them and their goals. Oropo doesn't seem to consider himself superior, it actually feels more like he has an inferiority complex centered on Yugo. He litteraly wants what Yugo has, and if he can't take it from him, he'll just find the next best thing.
There's a lot of compelxity there, and it's for a character we see for only 13 episodes, the result of that is bound to feel clumsy.
In comparison Dante feels simpler, that's because her complexities are related to the main theme of the show, equivalent exchange and the value of a human soul, of humanity as a concept, and the rest is kept relatively simple. Her incoherences are typically adressed by the text itself and she remains a bad person the whole way, just one who raises important questions.
Oropo is a bit all over the place, the main theme of Wakfu are family and the moral implications of one's actions (for oneself or for others, the one that can and the ones that have to be made), which are very broad themes and rarely adressed in an open way, so the characters, the antagonists especially, cannot really be all that simple. Oropo's incoherences remain unadressed, and because we didn't get that much of him interacting with his circle we cannot feel that divide.
In the end Dante feels more alone than Oropo does, that's one dies alone by the end of her tools while the other gives up on his plan and dies with his loved one.
I like Oropo, but I think it's because I spent a lot of time thinking about him, because it's really hard to like him with just what the show gives us. Dante is a villain I love because she's unlikable and I'm not expected to feel for her, but I can see in her something that talks to the worst side of my own humanity. In Oropo, at first I only saw a parody of a politician, or at worst a sect guru, it's only with much thinking I started seeing a lost child running on lost time, who had to create a family after being abandoned by his father when others usually have theirs no matter what, and who got jealous of that. That's why the creators tried to make him empathetic even though he was a pretty terrible guy.
I hope I got most of what I wanted to express right, there's a lot of other stuff actually, but I feel like I tackeld the main point. Also I like to compare my fandoms, that's just what I do.
Anyways if anything gets added just know that I'm an avid analysis reader, so you can leave it under there ^^

Petite escapade du côté de l'Ardèche...✈️
L'Ardèche est un département magnifique situé en région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, au sud-est de la France. Aux portes de la Provence, des Cévennes et du Massif Central, l'Ardèche jouit d'un climat ensoleillé tout au long de l'année et vous émerveille par la beauté de ses sites naturels.
Mais l'Ardèche ne se raconte pas, elle se vit. Vivez l'Ardèche en descendant les Gorges de l'Ardèche en canoë-kayak, en canyoning dans ses cours d'eau ou plus simplement en suivant un des nombreux chemins de randonnée en pleine nature.
Vibrez l'Ardèche à travers la via ferrata ou en escaladant ses montagnes. Sortez en Ardèche grâce à l'actualité touristique mise à disposition : idées de sorties, de balades ou encore les manifestations locales.
S'asseoir ici et se dire qu'on a tellement de chance d'avoir toute cette beauté sous les yeux...
Au détour d'un sentier, une oasis à l'eau turquoise. (Moulin du Tiourre à Vallon Pont d'Arc)
Ardèche, terre d'aventure...Le pilier d'Autridge, 160 m de descente en rappel et un point de vue exceptionnel sur les Gorges de l'Ardèche.
Petite chèvre sauvage des Gorges de l'Ardèche
"Servez-vous, et mettez l'argent dans la boîte aux lettres."
Voici in distributeur automatique made in Ardèche. Ici, pas besoin d'intelligence artificielle, juste de la confiance naturelle !
Comme le dit si bien un grand penseur : "il en faut peu pour être heureux..."
Caverne du Pont d'Arc, copie de la grotte Chauvet. Une visite unique au monde !
Petits plaisirs de l'Ardèche...la cueillette des marrons.
C'est l'heure du goûter ! Dégustation d'un gâteau à la crème de marron qui dit mieux ?

Since I'm almost done with Avalon's Child first draft, I need help choosing which WIP to start in parallel, from the sea of idea I have written in my document of idea. Just so I can start the planning :
Here's are the option I have narrowed it down to:
1) The other side of the Waterfall:
A group of college students & their teacher go for a weekend trip of canoë camping and after crossing a weird path end up in an alternate world
2) The crown on my head, the scars on my chest
Trans ftm king runs away from his duty to become a pirate and transition through the best of the means at that time (historical fantasy with merfolks)
3) How to steal from an academy:
Group of low-level theifs pull a heist to steal money from a dragon academy, leaves with dragons eggs that hatched. They must learn to grow as better people and protect the dragons hatchlings
Fantasy
4) To doom the future
Story that pans on 24hrs, disorganized telling with the end of the world happening in the first chapter.
Apocalyptic dystopian
5) Alexandria's apprentice archivist
Being a scribe of Alexandria is a high standing job, but a lonely one spent doing nothing but copying down knowledge, follow the new apprentice as he navigates the job and his feeling of loneliness
Sci-fi historical fantasy
6) Mote it be:
Follow Zephyr, a witch that tries to blend in as the witch hunt is ongoing and as a plague strikes the area near where she lives and as she develops a friendship with the priest of her town.
7)The protectors of Arania
Vera is a strange girl that doesn't fit in her village, her adoptive parents see her as nothing more than their heir and under an eye patch she hides mismatched eyes, seen as a bad thing in her village. When a strange evil attacks her village she must face the truth about who she is and fight the dragon that turned her village and many more to stone. (First draft started in 2019 in french)
8) The morning fog

Là, l’artiste a posé la toile sur des vrais gens et a peint la forme de leurs corps. Une bagarre sur un canoë devant la skyline de Chicago, ça m’a plu.
Chicago Fire !!!
Alors la passion pour les pompiers à Chicago, ça vient du grand incendie de 1871 pendant lequel 1/3 de la ville a brûlé en une journée. 100 000 personnes se sont retrouvées sans toit sur les 300 000 habitants et en quelques années, ils ont tout reconstruit. Ils ont ”appris de leurs erreurs” ils disent.
Les sirènes des camions de pompiers et ambulances réveilleraient les morts. Même au 12e étage de mon hôtel je les entends.
On sait qu’une journée spéciale approche en regardant la couleur des gâteaux. Alors ?
