Practicing a different rendering style with my boy Jeff the Land Shark

[torturingpeople]

fine i reveal her. my horrible woman

things about her:

housewife of the bazaar

neathborn but her parents were slavic (despite her non-slavic name shhh shh)

her father was the owner of a weapons factory and had close connections with mr fires and mr iron — she took over this factory when he was assassinated by one of his workers

ruthless cold hearted bitch

her favourite books are machiavelli’s “the prince” and shakespeare’s “othello”

her human rights violations are about as bad as mr fires if not worse. we need new geneva conventions for her to break

highest connected is with the masters of the bazaar and the great game

ridiculously rich. obscenely so

masterfucker. all of them. her weird space bat polycule.

favourite master is mr fires, but close seconds are iron and wines

usually with a master — scarcely leaves the bazaar without one

raises bats as a hobby

loves loitering around fires’ factories to watch the workers suffer

very lazy. will just lay somewhere and either fall asleep or chill out and relax for hours. typically she is hanging off the arm of a master sleeping against it

doesn’t like wearing socially acceptable clothing and would rather wear a slip dress or her underclothes in her room all day

very matter of fact about human rights violations a la “so what?”

scarcely ever speaks on her own, but becomes more talkative around the masters. never yells

will talk openly about being a masterfucker to others. unashamedly

rare to see her get physically or visibly angry (she has no symptoms of it essentially)

“empathy is a myth created by the proletariat to trick the bourgeoisie into allowing them to have a revolution” - probably a quote from her

big fangirl of schlomo

occasionally a drug dealer

Good Friday

Today marks the day that, over 2,000 years ago, Jesus deliberately chose to bear all the weight, pain, shame, despair, guilt, and sin that all of humanity has ever and will ever produce. He took all of our evil and all of our shortcomings and all of our punishment for that wrongdoing onto His own perfect shoulders, and He died via one of the most excruciating death methods of all time. He chose to do this not because we owe Him anything, but simply because He carries the deepest, purest, and truest love in the universe for US! His funky lil creations that He cherishes, heart, mind, body, and soul, just for existing. He loves us, and He yearns for us to love Him in return.

Today, we honor Jesus for His ultimate and everlasting sacrifice so that we can receive the blessing of eternal life in Heaven with Jesus, where there is no sorrow, grief, pain, and suffering, and we will live in joy and bliss with Jesus forever. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and through Him and through choosing to love and embrace Jesus with our hearts, and through marking that promise with the symbolic act of baptism, we can choose to receive the beautiful gift Jesus paid the ultimate price for.

To Jesus! His selflessness, His open and everlasting heart, and His true love for all of us, for every human on the planet! Thank you for choosing us when you could have easily just chosen Yourself. But that is not Your way, O Lord. You are the God who saves, the God who loves, and the God who redeems.

I love you, Lord! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank You for loving me. 🥰

She knew perfectly well that things like parties and best friends and going to tea with people were fine for everyone else, because everyone else was "inside"--inside some sort of invisible magic circle. But Anna herself was outside. And so these things had nothing to do with her. It was as simple as that.

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.
