i keep getting femboy content recommended which proves tumblr’s far superior algorithm of not relying on analyzing my pattern of engagement but rather grabbing my dick and scanning my brain to see the first thing i think of

Okay please, I just adore how you talk about Marcille!!

I feel like a lot of people don’t like her as much, or more like they don’t like her as a character or just completely ignore her character growth etc. So it’s so sweet to see someone who GETS IT. Haha

AHa thank you so much!!! I get what you mean. Marcille is like... because she's written so well, I think she can induce polarizing reactions in people. On one hand, you have the people just dismissing her as a prissy uptight girl who's overly mean to the boys.

On the other hand, her fans unfortunately can have the tendency to be too charitable about her. Like, they kind of don't see the fact that she can be so horrendous sometimes? So hypocritical? that she absolutely should not be allowed to date Falin until she gets her shit sorted?

I think she shows an insane amount of complexity that changes and grows throughout the story. The Marcille at the end of the story is so much more mature than the Marcille you meet at the beginning. I kind of just want to wave her around like... isn't that wonderful, that she started as such a close-minded and scared child, only to very nearly cause the end of the world and then grow immensely from it? that she is so deeply flawed and damaged and lets fear rule so many of her actions, lets fear poison the way she treats Falin (almost like a beloved pet than a full person), but ultimately decides she'd rather learn how to be brave than die scared? That the audience is genuinely unsure if she would have been able to be truly brave without the love and support of those around her? That beneath all the immaturity and prissy hysterics, she is fundamentally motivated by unfathomably deep love--for better and for worse?

She is still cringe in her most profound moments. She is still profound in her most cringe moments. She contains multitudes beyond what can be explained in so many words and I really really really let this post get away from me

if i see one more post about letting dunmeshi characters be “problematic” when its LITERALLY just cultural differences colliding im gonna SNAP

#‘oh let marcille be problematic bc she adheres to traditional gender roles’ #shut the fuck up forever shes an ELF its a CONSERVATIVE RACE #kui literally makes izutsumi REITERATE that there are no half foots in the east before she pesters him? #even though senshi had the same issues with treating chil like a kid bc he had also never seen a half foot #its not a fucking character flaw its an intentional side effect of worldbuilding #you people seriously need to touch grass im BEGGING #like there is a whole chapter about the diffences between beauty standards across races #and even if marcille is a halfelf she was mostly raised by her mother. an elf btw #the fact that people are arguing over whos in the wrong between liaos and shuro. what is wrong with you. #cultural differences and autism created a perfect storm #classic reading comprehension from the reading comprehension webbed site #bumblysdumbly #tags #dunmeshi #dungeon meshi

Been thinking of fantasy lately, as relating to the Arcanth setting, and I figured out what's been bugging me about elves.

I've been doing a bit of a dive into fantasy genre, with rereading some of the old Drizzt books, watching some Tolkien essays and watching Frieren with a friend of mine lately, I discovered I don't actually mind elves having long arse lifespans, contrary of what I've said before.

However I DO mind elves having long arse lifespans when it shows absolutely nowhere in said elves, and that what I ACTUALLY dislike is treating elves as something extra special while stripping them of the inherent Otherness of being elves and just make them look and act like just some normal guy who just happens to have pointy ears.

You get to either have awesome special magic elves who live long and act distinctly very Other, OR you get elves who are basically just some guy who lives next door, but looks weird and other, but like, if you're gonna give them endless lifespans they better act in a way that marks them that way, and in any case I will be very disappointed if your elves look like normal-humans-with-pointy-esrs especially if they act just like everyday people. Why would you even bother making them elves in the first place if they weren't in any way Other??

I am still in the process of figuring out what this means for Arcanth-setting elves specifically. I think I want to do my elves more down to earth, vibe-wise, and don't really want to go the route of making them feel ancient and ageless (I am more okay with them having long-ish lifespans than I did before, though still not to a degree of practically immortal, as that's not the feeling I want for these specific story characters I have in mind), so to get the amount of Otherness I crave to see in elves I'm probably going to be leaning more on the visuals and making them LOOK different. I did consider making basically all elves to be part human to get the effect (ageless ancestors, maybe some still roaming around, but most "modern" elves actually being mixed heritage), though I haven't yet made any specific decisions on what degree exactly.

No idea how I'm gonna get the effect in practice, but I think it's still something to know what I want! (This would be so much easier if hominids weren't my artistic weak point, but hey, you learn by doing! Never gonna get better at drawing unless I do the actual drawing part.)

Thank you for indulging my half asleep rambles here. Going to bed now.

#shut up paper #Arcanth #for tagging purposes #ear shape alone does not make an elf #I want there to be more substance in the elfness than just pointy lobes #I want them to feel slightly non-human #like a hominid version of a borzoi; uncanny and weird #not just a dude you could easily mistake for an average person

The more time I spend explaining Tolkien lore to my brother the more I realize that Tolkien was just batshit insane

#yes the world is flat and a globe at the same time #and yes if you go off the edge you fall into the void with Satan 1.0 (assuming the Straight Road doesn't just railroad you) #he calls Valinor “The place under some trees where everyone smokes weed” and honestly I wish they would do that instead #bilbo and frodo bring weed to valinor quick #i tried to explain the miriel-finwe situation and he's so confused #“so they died and they were all sad even though they didn't have to stay dead?? but she couldn't come back because he remarried??” #“but then he dies and says 'yo ill stay dead instead' and she's find now??” #does the big God just keep making elf and human souls or do they just. appear #i told him about Gil-Galad Son of Plothole #he is quickly realizing that yes #the valar are a bit incompetent #its fine #elrond's dad is a star his mom is a bird and his great great grandma is an angel #my sister gave up two seconds in despite sparking this by asking me about elf lore #apparently she actually just wants to know about legolas but not legolas' father because of the hobbit movies #let me rant about feanorian politics it'll be interesting i promise #shut up about your elf backflips you wanna hear about nirnaeth arnoediad and the kinslayings #tolkien #lotr #lord of the rings #silmarillion #the silm #is this a shitpost? idk #he's batshit insane but the world is great i love it #we still don't know where hobbits come from #they appeared one day #like potatoes #i had one tidbit of legolas lore and that was #the guy showed up several years late in a homemade boat with a dwarf #incomprehensible screaming

Get Down Here

Elu Thingol l Elwë Singollo & Finwë (Tolkien universe)

Commission made for @i-did-not-mean-to who I love and they are always so great when ic comes to e making art for them I could cry 😭.

To be fair, I think I DID infect her with my love for Thingol and Finwë friendship, which this is very ambiguously a "Are they friends? Are they more? It's probably both to be honest." kind of situation 😌 I'm not mad at all.

This is after they're reborn and all is well again :D Hopefully.

Finwë is tall, but Thingol is so much taller 👁

Last Song: Whatever the last song was at church this morning. Maybe "With One Voice"?

Favourite Colour: Purple

Last Movie/TV Show: I watched some classic Looney Tunes shorts

Sweet/spicy/savoury: Sweet, but lately I have had increasing cravings for salty snacks.

Relationship status: Fine on all fronts

Last internet search: How to spell the first name of William H. Seward's campaign manager/ruthless political boss Thurlow Weed.

Current obsession: After experiencing a lot of museums this week, my history obsession--specifically Lincoln/Civil War history and WWI history--is coming back strong. I've also got a major craving to develop an extremely derivative cozy fantasy universe involving a bunch of different races and characters with cultural/personality clashes.

Tagging: Anyone who has had something sweet to eat today

#tag games #anyway i can't yet read the old-fashioned episodic coming-of-age children's fantasy #about a group of pevensie or blythe or nesbit-esque siblings whose parents run an inn that caters to all the various fantasy races #that then interact with each child's individual personality/character arc in different ways #which i just vaguely came up with yesterday/this morning #nor can i read the arranged marriage romantic comedy that i came up with five minutes ago set in the same universe #about a gregarious extroverted academic elf (the kind of guy who loves nothing better than spirited tavern debates with his nerd friends) #and an introverted soulful artistic mermaid who really wishes this guy would shut up and let her paint/finish her novel in peace #all this is to say that i am suffering

I don't know if you remember circa 2013 WoW forums, but once you took the time to draw a bunch of people who frequented the forums. You drew my hunter (Veli), and though it took me nearly a decade to find you, which was really stupid considering the link to the artwork was to your website, I just wanted to say I still really appreciate it.

i actually think about those little drawings quite often! i believe you're specifically referring to this one!

i'm glad it was meaningful to you! this was a really cool community project to do, even if it was a nearly impossible undertaking for how long the thread or requests got! i hope you've been well in the decade since :3

Aizawa stomping out the Dabi clone in the forest while an illusion Mukuro who just came to let him know about the other parts of the attack mocks him for not being very heroic.
