why does 'the shallow sea' make such a big deal about grimm not figuring into this story so don't think about them. it does it three times and it certainly feels incredibly deliberate:
(And Grimm. There have always been Grimm. There will always be Grimm. But those creatures don't figure in this story, so just put them out of your mind, if you can.)
(No, not Grimm. Grimm are not alive in the usual sense, nor does anyone want them. Please do put them out of your mind, if you can.)
(Were you wondering whether there were any Grimm on the island in those days? As I've told you, Grimm do not figure into this story, and I wish you would clear them from your mind.)
like, there are plenty of others stories in the book that don't feature grimm, but only 'the shallow sea' keeps mentioning over and over again. it's the constant "i bet you were thinking about grimm when the story never actually mentions them besides these parentheses parts which causes you to actually think about them but really, you shouldn't, so why are you after i put them into your mind?" that's mind boggling to me.

Half baked crack theory that I don't particularly believe but think is an interesting concept anyways:
Oz accidentally made the faunus between the time Light gave him his curse and reincarnating.
To explain it, essentially, Light explicitly states that "your kind will come back" when talking to Ozma. Not only this, but there's an established time between dying and reincarnating (him immediately reincarnating in Oscar is implied to be unusual iirc). I doubt he'd remember this in between state either, if anything even happens in this state.
Also, both of the faunus creation myths feel kinda Oz-ish. The shallow sea places an emphasis on individuality and being yourself (something Oz deems is important multiple times), and the judgement of faunus has an emphasis on unity. The animal god himself sounds and feels a lot like Ozpin.
So like, maybe Ozma's soul wandered Remnant for a while as humanity was evolving and somehow he created the faunus (whether accidentally or on purpose somehow).
Who knows lol, I'm throwing this idea out there. I don't really believe it, but it has some weird amount of ground to stand on.
A possible explanation for the faunus creation myths feeling Oz-like is that he could've helped shape their cultures (if he can reincarnate into faunus, which I can't see why he wouldn't).

I could ask about a beloved NPC from Dandelion Farmers but. I crave Khulan deets. >:)
(I asked for clarity and the number was 4, so here goes!) 4: Do they have any scars or tattoos?
Yes of course! She has a lot of scars on her hands and lower arms from a lot of fist fighting and hard physical work, and a few on her face, also from fist fighting. And a few other wounds over her body, each one probably has a story that has a 50% chance of being real, and a 50% chance of being something she made up to sound cool. Tattoos on the other hand, she's about a third of the way done a sleeve working from the right shoulder down, with a lot of various iconography and plant designs and monsters. She knows how to give tattoos (possibly gave Rhea one of hers mayhaps), but pays the professionals to do her ink.

Happy birthday, @fanaticsnail 💙
Happy birthday, my dearest Snail. How glad I am to be able to call you my friend and do this for you. I am glad for all the times I managed to get to know you better through our messages. And I am glad for being able to wish you a happy birthday and gift you this Cora pic I drew just for you. I drew it quite a while ago always with the intention of gifting it to you, but when I found out when your birthday is, I decided to make it a little bit more special. I love you, Snail, and I'm happy to have you in my life. With all that said, once more, happy birthday, and I hope you have lots of fun. Enjoy your Rosi like this, peaceful.

never forget that the sea is now kind
#arknights#mizuki arknights#akadraws#the gentle waves the easy shallows the ocean you could never approach before#you can now walk along its shores. do you remember him? do you remember that his heart was so full#that it changed the sea itself? do you remember our friend?

What‘s up with yotici? Are they still around
Yeah they're still canon. Last I mentioned them was briefly in the Imperial Wardi food post because their larval young are often caught as bycatch and eaten. They might come up again when I expand more on the Jazaiti people because the shallow sea on the west side of the peninsula is where this particular region's largest yotici pod is based out of.
By and large, the majority of landdwelling peoples do not communicate with yotici or even recognize them as sapient, and they tend to be categorized as fairly intelligent and very hostile sea beasts. The peoples who have established mutual lines of communication tend to be smaller, localized populations who depend on shallow seas for their subsistence, and don't tend to have mass influence (in a game of cultural telephone, "We have established treaties with the people of the sea grasslands to graze our wammi in peace in return for protection of their gardens and gifts of trade" becomes like "THE YANTI OF THE LOWLANDS SAY THAT THE GREAT BEAKED SEA-BEASTS SPIRITUALLY COMMUNE WITH THEM, AND THAT THEY MUST FEED THE BEASTS OFFERINGS OR ELSE THEY WILL DEVOUR THEIR SEA-CATTLE. WHAT FASCINATING HEATHENRY")
Yotici are not often involved in the affairs of land people beyond sometimes being hunted with harpoons, or drowning sailors/fishermen for hunting them with harpoons/threatening their gardens/just pissing them off. They're sometimes hunted by subsistence fishing communities (and their larvae are frequently caught in nets) so most established relations tend to be hostile (with no lines of communication or full comprehension that both parties involved are People).
Most yotici cultures have such fundamentally different modes of living and communication from landdwelling peoples that many yotici don't fully recognize them as People either (also thinking of them as mere beasts, if very intelligent ones- they can even use tools!), which reduces the frequency of even attempting to establish communications. Most yotici are just kind of out there doing their own thing.
#Jazaiti/Yotici relations are kind of neutral - hostile#To the Jazait they're animals that are sometimes hunted for food but considered intelligent/dangerous/respected quarry#and not primary targets.#To the local yotici (the People of the Rock Paths) the Jazait are mid-level predatory threats and should be generally avoided#And should be actively trained to hunt lesser animals by drowning them when seen trawling the sea grasses with harpoons#The loss/reduced access to traditional fishing grounds which forces many Jazait to fish and hunt in shallower waters has increased#the frequency of yotici hunts and thus the levels of hostility from said yotici

man. now I'm thinkin abt like. deep sea animals seeing the sun for the first time.. is it beautiful? is it warm and comforting? or is it terrible. is it burning and hatred and blindness. hell is real and it's above them. it's rays through clear blue water, it's dry and dessicating and it means they're visible to predators and prey alike. will they starve first or be eaten? there's no camouflage up there. there's more than just red light. maybe they'll be abducted by those shadows that offer momentary relief from the blinding light. do you think they tell ghost stories about the ones who went up and never came back down? maybe it is beautiful
#whalefall#man. idk. thinkin.#as above so below#theyre so used to the dark what does light even mean to them?#and before anyome gets pedantic and annoying.#i KNOW a lot od deep sea fish rise to shallow waters at night sometimes. i know about the migration#i just wanna write..fish mythology

god i love riptide. who wants to talk about how the prophecy has split and changed over the centuries and how we still dont actually know the original version of it
#my post#the trees version in 110 is an ancient version but the tree itself said its not the first!!!!!#WHAT IS GILLS PROPHECY EVEN#its really fascinating to me bcus it seems like everyone dropped the first half of it (the bit that talks about the entity)#then it split between oversea and undersea#THEN it split between shallow and deep#i wonder how many versions of the prophecy are out there!! i wonder which version the navy are using?#obv the oversea version but i wonder if its the same one we saw in the sun city?#or do they have their own?#what would their version even look like..#a hero born of sunlight storm and sea?#likely the same bits about 'unity' and deciding the fate of the world#ohh. oh. the navy views unity as Control. the navys prophecy is interpreted as ruling the world
