Since creating that last screenshot of Meteor Survivor, I felt like it was finally time to make an official "mythologized" picture of my own WoL/Azem, Thereza.

1, 2 for as many as you want, and bonus 6 and 18 if you're up for it :))

1. What's your oc's gender identity? What's their relationship to their gender?

Ceall would be considered a trans man. He identifies simply in canon as a man. Ceall, I think, has a complex relationship with gender and a bit of internalized misogyny. In his world, women have more rights and are more respected. However, Ceall is the product of the old ways of thinking about women. His own strenuous relationship with his mother strained his view on womanhood, especially as he was raised mostly by his grandfather and uncle to be a warrior.

I think Ceall was also afraid of what happened to his mother happening to him. I'm not implying in anyway that Ceall's internal conflict with womanhood is what made him trans. I think no matter what he'd figure out he was a boy. He just has an honest fear, and been looked down upon by adults in his life when he was a "woman" which pushed him to transition earlier. No matter what womanhood never felt right.

Ceall I imagine was a little shit head about this until he became a soldier surprisingly and the death of his grandfather. Ceall I think learns to respect women as he gets into his 20s and interacts with them more and with his grandfather not whispering in his ear, but moreso I think he just doesn't respect himself. His views and ideas get challenged a lot with his daughter Fiadh and his sisters. Ceall also needs to examine his view of manhood too but I digress.

2. What's your oc's orientation? (Romantic/sexual/platonic alterous ect) Do they have opinions about it?

I'll go with Ceall again :3. Ceall I think in modern terms would be considered bisexual. In text he speaks often of the women he's slept with, there's an old soldier he supposedly has history with, and his love interest is a prince. Ceall often feels like he HAS to marry a woman (in his world same sex marriage doesn't exist), so he's avoided it for a long time especially as he can't actually have children which is another thing he's expected to have, but being in the Otherworld now he can marry who he wants (but still with the expectation to have children).

Ceall has no real opinions on his sexuality. He's not even the hugest fan of sex. Ceall usually has sex so he can feel in control, especially as his life feels out of control. So to him, it doesn't matter who he sleeps with. Ceall has not "dated" anyone because that would imply he may wish to marry them, up until Ódhran.

6. How does your oc feel about labels? Theirs, or in general?

I'm gonna go with Karma for this one. Karma identities as aroace. She LOVES being aroace and has no shame in it. Karma generally is a person that exists without shame. Karma grew up with a loving found family of sex workers and was very educated and at 18 was allowed to even work at the clubs as a waiter. Karma has seen it all and not one thing has sparked her interest. Which in Karma's mind means she's free forever! Her parents had a very unhappy marriage, and marriage felt very forced on her too. But Karma is happy by herself with her beloved cat and her found family.

For labels in general I feel like Karma is watching her friends have existential crisis about their sexuality and she's playing beyblade in the corner

18. Do you prefer to give your ocs specific labels, or keep it unspecified? Why? If applicable, do you change their labels depending on circumstance?

Hm! I think a bit of both. Usually I know what my ocs label would be in a modern setting in my head, but I usually don't apply them in canon since most of my ocs wouldn't have those words or labels. Like I usually have Zipporah in canon describe himself as a man born in the wrong body, or if he were to speak in his mother tongue of Hebrew he may refer to himself as a *zachar* or *androgynos*.

For the "why", why do I give specific labels in my head? I literally can't not do that, my brain doesn't allow any "unknowns" especially if it can easily be known. Zipporah doesn't identity with his birth gender so in a modern setting he'd be considered trans. Why deny the label if you just already know it?

For changing labels, sure, if the need arises, they change irl all the time.

Dawko’s face says it all 🫥

[rhythmicreverie]

A titan clad in armor, stood atop the mountain peak. The world below shrouded in darkness and despair. His heart aflame with courage, he wielded his sword of light. With each strike, shadows retreated. As twilight fell, he triumphed over darkness. In this fantastical realm, myths merged and legends flourished.

Mega Brand Q&A with Hajime Kanzaka translated, 7/2023

Unfortunately no progress on novel 18. 

Q: Did the sword of light possess the handle of the sword that originally existed when it came into existence in Lina's world? Or is the sword of light itself embodied in the material world?

 KANZAKA: "It is embodied exactly as it is in Lina's world. There is almost no change in form."

 Q: Regarding slime in the Slayers world. It did not like salt in the first volume of Slayers Special, "Robbers Killer". If it is a slime that is not a sly type or a dissolver type, can it be eaten if it is soaked in salt and alum like a jellyfish?

 However, the slime in "The Sticky Season" (Vol. 3) was revived by water even if it was dried to dryness. Are slimes in general too vital and dangerous to eat?

　

In "Slayers Smash: Shadow of the Blue Sea" (Vol. 5), there seems to be a person who seems to know the taste of the half-fish of the Ragon species, so it seems that there might be mages who boldly tried it.

 KANZAKA: "Slime is not edible. If you had digested something poisonous just before, eating it could be fatal. On that premise, the taste itself varies depending on the combination of the type of slime and what the slime ingested immediately before, so the quality of the taste itself is not consistent at all. I'm sure there were people who tried the challenge of eating it, but word got out rather quickly that it was a no-no for the aforementioned reasons."

 Q: When did the demons start contracting with humans? Why did the demon tribe come to contract with humans in the first place? Was it initiated by the demons to the humans or by the humans to the demons? Looking at the things that happen between demons and humans in the work, it seems that many demons are deceived by cunning humans and become suckers.

 KANZAKA: "It has been around for so long that there is no record of when it began. The demon tribe desires the destruction of all things, and since they love the negative feelings of the living, they are happy when they generate negative feelings by lending their power to human beings. Therefore, they have been using such methods for a long time."
