DCA Stone Heart/Naga AU!

Pov you can randomly turn people to stone but are also a gremlin dealing with a crisis.

Based in a futuristic-medieval world, reader is a scrappy gorgon thief, looking out for themselves and ONLY themselves. They are selfish, greedy, and incredibly agile and basically WILL find all the shinies. Plus, being hunted for your head may seem like a huge concern, but hey, you turn them to stone and move on, that is all.

But….looking out for number one comes to an end when two young naga come into their life, making them question themselves and what exactly is going in the underground markers and arenas around the city…..and what exactly they’re supposed to do now.

A certain fisherman [...] went to the same place again to fish, and he put a row of hooks on his heels in case he met the Púca again; he attached them like a horseman's spurs. When evening drew near, he made a halter of the fishing-line for the Púca. The Púca met him the second time. He himself caught the Púca, put the fishing-line over his head like a halter, and started to ride him. He drove him wherever he wanted to go, and he kept putting his heels with the hooks like spurs to the Púca's sides, so that the Púca was shedding blood from the pricks of the hooks.

Excerpt from "The Púca: A Multi-Functional Irish Supernatural Entity" by Deasún Breatnach

Horse Meshi. Delicious, in Horse.

#dungeon meshi #laois touden #marcille donato #senshi #chilchuk tims #Anne II #I am over a week late to make this relevant but dear god I love the kelpie chapter.#if not for the several layers of foreshadowing then the reveal that nearly everyone in the party is a passionate horse lover.#Truly the best part of dungeon meshi is the sheer love of horses each character has. Fantastic equines by Ryoko Kui.#Chilchuck gets to be a little wary given what goes down in the bicorn chapter.#Rest in peace Anne I and Anne II. You were beautiful horses.#The pain I felt upon re-reading dungeon meshi and realizing that Senshi called the kelpie Anne...Hurts bad!#By the way I have strong feeling about MLP AU with these characters - but I would like to assert that Senshi is earth pony coded #and chilchuck is pegasus coded. I was struggling to draw my vision and went with whatever my pen chose.#Laios is a griffin because...come on if he made a MLP AU of his friends he would be nothing else.

As an ex fan of James Somerton I am livid

Currently I'm watching Todd in the Shadow's video on all his incorrect facts and the one that really got me was Somerton's rant on the "boring gay" activists of the 90s. While I'm not perfectly versed in the history of queer rights activists (even though it's been an interest of mine for years) my uncle was one of the people on the front lines of the movement in NYC in the 80s and 90s. He's a journalist, author, documentarian, and activist who's spent a massive part of his career covering the gay rights movement and gay history. (To the point his documentaries have been mentioned in a Somerton video actually)

I've spent my life as a young queer person absolutely idolizing this man. He literally fought for my right to exist, and yet Somerton discredits all of the work he put into the cause under being a boring queer who didn't sleep around and just wanted to join the military.

My own flesh and blood and DNA has had to watch so many people he loved die. He fought for so many things in his young queer life and even now is continuing to bring attention to current lgbt issues. I sat down for an interview with him (a few years ago at this point) and during that conversation there was a moment where we got into the topic of the trans rights issues going on across the US right now. Even outside of that, he continues to speak out and bring light to LGBT problems outside of the United States.

My uncle has been banned from countries, lost countless people he loved, and fought hard for his marginalized community. So have so many others. And Somerton dares to reduce them to "the boring ones" and not "the survivors of a plague."

So from the absolute bottom of my heart, James Somerton, fuck you.

i love how in dungeon meshi: the anime, the food changes appearance with namari's perception of it!

here it is before, when she considers it a punishment and a trial to be reduced to eating monsters for laios and co.

but just after she takes her first bite...

The same stew is now fully saturated and looks real enough to pull out of your screen Vine-magician style!

i love how her sudden realization changes the whole world for her, bringing back life and vibrancy to her existence. the little details in this show, and the original manga,

just *mwuah*
