I decided to expand more on the KN8/DQ crossover involving Kafka raising Psaro. This includes shenanigans pre-canon for the both anime and the Dark Prince videogame than just their respective canon. Let's get started!

Young!Psaro didn't trust Kafka when they first met. In fact the youth would spend three days trying to figure him out. The young prince realizes Kafka meant no harm after he protected him from one of the bullies' parents.

Miriam never been quite happier since the Monster Sweeper came into her family's lives. Seeing Psaro get to smile more often and play happily was enough to entrust her son to Kafka. Miriam passes away with a peaceful look on her face as if knowing the boy's future is now bright.

Psaro clings to Kafka for an entire week after his mother perishes. The boy's sleep schedule even gotten messed up as his nightmares haunt him more during the night. Kafka takes a small 2 week vacation so he could better handle Psaro without the work stress. Both would visit Miriam's grave on the anniversary of her death each year.

How many times does Kafka introduce new sports to the Dragonquest world? At least three separate occasions: a game of soccer in Rosehill, basketball in Yetisburg, and bowling in Dragglenook. These sports pretty much blow up all over Nadiria, Terrestria, to even Zenithia.

Psaro has always been curious about his foster father's world. Kafka tends to share stories or interesting information with the young boy from time to time. A small personal goal fulfilled by the creation of the Charcoal Travelite.

Kafka originally taught himself to wield a sword. Psaro decides to help the Sweeper out as best he could. Training was one of the moments the young cambion accidentally called Kafka 'father'. (Do know the himbo dropped his wooden sword on his foot hearing that.)

It takes two weeks for Psaro to fully realize he sees Kafka as his real father after the third slip up. (The youth never experienced a father's love so he did ask an actual dad in Rosehill about it.) Psaro only calls Kafka 'father' whether in private, with close friends or from strong emotions. (Yes the himbo cried hearing those words said purposely.)

Psaro and shopping tend to not mix often. Especially if he's trying to get groceries in Japan as something tends to happen with a 40% chance. Whether its a kaiju attack, him getting lost that one time, or something else is random at best.

Kafka almost caused a major disturbance in the Coliseum when a captive Rose was introduced after the Category G tournament. Psaro was the only person keeping him from being hunted down by angry royalty for assault and freeing their elf. No one could stop Kafka for talking back and insulting the Zenith Dragon to his face though.

Himbo has a habit of befriending unconventional monsters. First sign is a scared injured Platypunk(Perry) who snuck into Kafka's house in Rosehill. Or Psaro really should've foreseen his dad befriending the giant Iron Maiden(very same one that messes with Narumi later) in the Lower Echelon of Indulgence. Well that's one giant monster he doesn't have to worry about scouting later.

If the Rosehill trio learn any modern slang then blame Reno. Kafka had a small hand in it but the youth are more verbal about this particular vocab than him. If it spreads to other monsters then you know why.

Kafka definitely helps out any new monster recruits from the different Echelons get used to working under Psaro. (Fuego was very happy to know he spoke Spanish and the two often have long conversations in said language.) This kindness only boosts his popularity amongst his son's ranks.

Psaro doesn't like Isao at all. The man reminds him too much of Randolfo so expect the prince being a bit protective around Kikoru. Absolutely teaches Isao a lesson when he tries to execute Kafka.

It was a group effort to calm Riot No.8(Psaro/Toilen/Rose/Perry/Purrvis/Percival/Fizzy.) Their words help the enraged kaiju regain control as it reminds Kafka and Ai about the promise they made themselves. Both wouldn't become like other kaiju. Kafka, Ai and their identity as No.8 are protectors. Tiny would be addressed this soon.

That's all I have for now! Do have another idea but it would fit better on a different post. For now, enjoy this crane who been stealing from my house's bird feeder.

Orgulho e Paixão

Quartel do Vale do Café

O Coronel Victor Brandão comanda o Quartel do Vale. Entre os homens de seu regimento, destacam-se o Capitão Otávio e o Tenente Randolfo Vasconcellos.

Brandão fica interessado em Mariana Benedito mas ela não lhe dá muita atenção, estando fascinada pelo poeta viajante Diogo Uirapuru. Já Otávio e Randolfo parecem competir pela atenção de Lídia.

Militares são uma presença comum nas obras de Austen. Brandão é inspirado no Coronel Brandon do livro Razão e Sensibilidade. Os outros dois são personagens originais da novela, mas é possível encontrar elementos de Persuasão em parte da trama de Otávio. O interesse de Lídia por militares é algo visto em Orgulho e Preconceito.

Another major question I have about DQM3: The Dark Prince is:

HOW and WHY did Miriam, a sweet, sickly human woman, and Randolfo the Tyrant, a powerful monster king, manage to have a child?

Monsters lay eggs, so how does Randolfo even have the parts to impregnate a human?

WHY would Randolfo do the *horizontal tango* with a human woman that he clearly doesn't care for, as we saw him refuse to help her when she's sick.

How does Psaro not have a million genetic issues being that he's a cross-breed of two VERY different species?

What exactly was Miriam sick with?

DQM3 - Aamon and Doph

After beating Aamon in the Circle of Caprice, it was off to the Circle of Conquest for Psaro's family reunion! Major plot spoilers for Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince ahead.

Can't say I suspected that the golems and such were cursed elves. Was Aamon's destruction of the elf kingdom ever mentioned in DQIV or the other games in the trilogy? Also, I know the giant elf queen saved us, but how was Aamon able to crawl back to Randolfo perfectly fine?

I remembered these friendly monsters from the beginning of the game. However, the touching reunion was ruined by rendering issues. At first, I thought the cutscene was stylistically black, but as it wore on I realized this was not the case. The textures in Hopeful Haven still didn't load properly the first time or two that I visited. When it finally showed up, I said, "Oh, so this is how it was supposed to look!"

Then we fought Randolfo's loyal shrine guardians. They all knew Psaro when he was young, which I found odd because I thought his father immediately cursed him and kicked him out. Also, their stories conflicted. Sir Sabrefang maintains that we three brothers used to hang out together, but Sir Beefdrake (love that name) asks if I've EVER MET Ludo. The game also presented our run-in with Ludo earlier as if it was our first time hearing about him, let alone meeting him.

Rather than a fair fight, Dolph attacks us with a pitifully small army of monsters, and then- OH MY GOD, THE CAVALRY'S HERE. I think I will make Torneko my profile picture.

Ugh, this is stupid. Does Solo know that Psaro was framed by Dolph for destroying his village? Dolph was JUST talking about it. Of course, Psaro has committed other crimes (conveniently just off screen), but without reminding the audience, Solo's reasons for vengeance are unclear. Rose is alive and we even re-sealed (most of) Estark! Even more maddening is that the hero party leaves before even trying to fight Randolfo. If Psaro is the only one who can defeat his father, they should at least prove it somehow. Unless it's a fake-out, looks like I'll be facing my father next. I hope Solo honors his damn promise and is the game's final boss.

go to a random letter generator... and find an animal that starts with that letter. it's now your animal companion to be there for you through all of life's ups and downs. does your life significantly improve, get worse, or stay approximately the same with the addition of this animal? (no extra cost to you for care & food and whatnot. all of that's covered.)

R is for ... Rhino! Good thing upkeep is covered.

I added a random number--7 in this case--so it wouldn't just be whichever R animal I liked best. 6 was a rattlesnake (phew! dodged a bullet) and 8 was a raven (dang it! that would've been awesome).

Anyway, I like to think I could make it work and life would stay mostly the same. Like having a dog. Except ...

That's a BIG dog. Kinda hard to imagine it wouldn't have a detrimental effect on my life quality, having to always manage this animal's needs.

On the plus side, I could ride it and name it Randolfo/Randolfa Syrups. Because Randy = Horny, because it's got a big horn. That'd be fun, I suppose.
