something interesting about dungeon meshi's worldbuilding: the elf-tallman hybrids that we see are referred to as "half-elves" rather than "half-tallmen"
hell, they're oftentimes just called "elves" by other characters.
in the case of laios's party not knowing marcille was a half-elf, it's explained that they just didn't know she wasn't a full elf. which makes sense, none of them pay enough attention to that kind of thing, or know enough about elves to know that certain features like rounded ear tips are highly unusual for full-elves. 
but it's more interesting in the case of kabru's party. kabru, who is super observant and was also raised by elves, describes both marcille and fionil (who are both canonically half-elves) simply as "elves". kuro also simply identifies marcille's scent as "elf", despite half-elves probably having slightly different scents than full-elves.
and! even word-of-god type material casually lumps marcille and fionil in with elves, rather than lumping them in with tallmen or giving them their own half-elf category
Tumblr media Tumblr media
is this a case of hyperdescent (or hypodescent, depending on if elves are thought of as higher or lower status than tallmen in a given culture)? is it just that half-elves tend to be more similar to elves than to tallmen in matters like lifespan?
of course, our sample size is literally 2 and we know so little about fionil, it's hard to know for sure or rule out other factors.
SIDENOTE:
Tumblr media
what is this random character from the elf page's deal? their rounded ear tips definitely look like they're a half-elf, but their facial features and size and ear shape makes me think their other half is half-foot, rather than tallman (...or maybe they're just a kid, lol). the adventurer's bible does say that tallmen can have fertile offspring with half-foots, and we know that tallmen can have infertile offspring with elves. so it would kinda make sense if half-foots could have infertile offspring with elves too.

Please I need to see the ship kids? Is Laios a good uncle? Do they have scales/feathers or sharp teeth? Horns? Claws? (This series has me in a chokehold rn)
*SQUEEZES YOU IN MY GRASP*
I had to put everything under the cut because this is a hella long post so everyone else just look at these cute farcille babies and rock on
Tumblr media
HI HOWDY!! Laios is obsessed with these little freaks (he would never call them that though cause he would literally die for them if needed) He’s essentially been right by Falin and Marcille’s side since day one when it came to the babies! He’s a surprisingly good uncle but definitely that one where he gives the kids gifts that the parents are like “YEAH NO- he’s 8 he doesn’t need a crossbow”
He definitely gives the kids little trinkets he gets from foreign dignitaries since I don’t picture Laios really liking all the gifts and gold and money people will give him to butter him up when he catches onto it. The cool monster stuff stays with him though, but he’ll let the kids look at anything cool he gets that he decides to keep for his personal collection. I like to imagine that when he holds them he always keeps them to the side of his hip, real mom type stance when he’s holding them.
Secondly, GREAT QUESTION!! They have a little bit of both! Haru (the cream colored baby) has feathery down covering his ears, chest, and wings as well as basically anywhere else that he isn’t scaly or covered in soon to be thought flesh. He’s more of a dragon from the waist down but bird from the waist up like Falin was.
His sister Haize (the apple red one) has the most scales! (But the least feathers out of the pair) Haize has more of that traditional dragon look and unlike Haru, she’s dragon basically to the neck up. She has scrawny little forearms that aren’t quite attuned to walking yet but once she grows they’ll become a lot more useful for the crawling around stage of her infancy! Haru will often try to climb on her back because he wants to be fast too- he’s only a little guy but he still hates that she got the extra limb genes where he didn’t.
Both have wings though the down that Haru has makes it a bit difficult for him to fly, though he really grows to enjoy flapping and the flutter of his wings! Haize has more sleek featherless dragon wings which make her flight process a bit easier, though her longer body means that her flying is quite silly (it’s like when you pick a cat up by their middle and they just dangle, imagine that but with flight and her trying to tuck her limbs in to have less weight pulling her down). Both have claws on their dragon halves as well as spikes/spines on their backs though only Haize has been born with the making for clawed hands, Haru grows into his later in life!
Really Falin and Marcille are glad that the kids are in relative captivity, Haru’s inherited the “head empty, no thoughts, tee hee” touden genes and they’re like 75 percent certain that he would get eaten if natural selection had its way - assuming Haize didn’t protect him ofc. Haru is very sleepy as a baby while Haize is very cranky. She likes to sleep on her back but her itty bitty dragon wings get cramped when she does and sleeping on her side isn’t as a comfy. Aside from that she just likes attention and being with her parents which is tough due to their jobs.
Haru has colic due to the light magic that manifests in his stomach pouch organ! He was born with an organ similar to the one red dragons have that allows them to breathe fire! It allows him to conjure and manifest light and can be weaponized if a dragon knows what they’re doing. Really it’s much more useful as bioluminescence for dragons who dwell in darker dungeons as it allows them to lure in prey and the pouch’s brightness grows as a dragon approaches somewhere stacked with mana and magic which is an easy way to find enemies or food! Typically light dragons are very powerful but a rare find as they’re often incredibly soft and unable to protect themselves as babies as well as their newly born pouches which let off a lot of glow due to basically incubating for a year or so and refuse to dampen until they learn to properly dispel their magic via spells. Not to mention how easy of a target it is for their obvious weak spot, one bad slash to the tummy and ur done.
Most dragon babies learn early as having that much magic in you hurts a LOT but Haru takes a lot while to learn it, though Falin soon learns that pressing on his stomach and conjuring her own light magic to siphon Haru’s own eases a lot of his tummy aches and pains.
(I got way more facts about these guys so if you wanna know more just send another ask!! :]!! /gen)

✨✨✨Some more of OCs and their lore and oh my god there is a lot to read yay✨✨✨
Meet the Usher family!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(translation: "too revealing", "too short"
Pic with hedgehog: "you decieved Christ")
Let's start with a girl with long hair: her name is Mirabel (she/her) and she's the oldest child in their big family. Usher parents, unfortunately, always busy at work, so she was the one to raise her younger siblings. Miri went through a lot of stress and self-hatred, which affected her sister, Amity, a lot, but now Mirabel feels a lot better. Overall she's very sweet and kind, even though sometimes she may be shy and anxious
Tumblr media
The middle child of the family - Enoch (he/him), however, he doesn't like his name and prefers being called Tobias/Toby, since was the name his parents wanted for him first. He was forced to "continue legacy" of their family. Being the only boy, he was forced in monastery to become a priest. Unfortunately, being around very conservative people made him rather bigoted, also giving him religious trauma and anger issues. He's not happy with how things turned out, but he still loves his sisters a lot and wants only the best for them.
Tumblr media
The youngest one - Amity (she/her)! Pronounced like "Ah-me-tea". Sweet and outgoing little girl with love for animals and everything cute. Her skin got that "void" colour after some traumatic things she witnessed when she was younger (it's a thing in the world of "Endless Daydream", it's a rare, but well-known stuff that happens to some people), now she has Comforters to help her feel better. She may be anxious and sensitive, but in the end she's rather adventurous and fun little one to be around
Tumblr media
The cat of the family - Fuwa (she/her)! I feel like she's rather important as well, since this kitty provides comfort and love for all three siblings. Just a sweet affectionate kitty. She's not a Comforter, but sometimes Amity sees her in her dreams as more humane version of herself.

DUNGEON MESHI STUFF
New episode is out… may the gods give me strength while I’m watching it during my classes. Every time a new episode drops i go absolutely bonkers. I genuinely start squealing bc of how happy i am but enough of that, i have some oc stuff to show
Tumblr media
All of the pictures are gonna look a little wack so don’t mind it please
Tumblr media
He…he needs to know..
Tumblr media
He has a creative imagination doesn’t he
Tumblr media
Boy, why you so boy
Tumblr media
When your ogre friend’s brother doesn’t look cool and strong 😞
I didn’t want her to be an only child so giving her a younger brother was the best thing i could think of. Why give her an older brother if he’s just going to die soon because of their lifespan. Ogres lives end around the age of 56-58 if i remember correctly. Also her mother is still alive but her father isn’t, he wasn’t really present due to work and other things but her grandfather was. He lived to be 62 before dropping dead.
Enough of that, here are some little tidbits i drew
Tumblr media
Aren’t they so siblings?
Tumblr media
Fat…fat huge baby
Tumblr media
Your siblings ever say something to embarrass you?

#arueshalae's quest... Delicious#i love it when companion quests not only are amazing in their own right but also allow room for me to expand on the pc... good shit#context-> i been thinking#since elluin died and came back very very wrong via botched wild hunt hunt or something of the sort#(dont ask me details this is all vague hc i only have the wiki to go off of for lore )#just. where would his soul have landed if he had just died normally?#well. he's always been chaotic good. so#he should be at the club meme voice: he should be at elysium#something something the personification of the values Dimalchio abandoned staring him in the face#something about immortality granted through birth along with gifts unfathomable to mortals#versus immortality granted unwillingly. about the things one now considers trivial being what another was eternally barred from#something something envy something something rage#i cant wait to get here on azata path this is going to be JUICY to compare....#ellu and arue are such a good pair to think about friendship wise in general...#trust me im talking about him more but mostly because it's a first run and im still developing him in my mind#but like dude... guy whose morals are the only part of himself he even considers vaguely salvageable#(even though he actually doesnt consider himself good- fun fact)#paired with girl trying desperately to learn and understand morality and undo the damage she did#also the fact that a bunch of the things elluin says to her he mostly says with the intent of putting some responsibility on the corrupted#which she instead interprets as him trying to absolve her of responsibility ..#i juist love them!#love them so much. throwing them in the microwave#(then there's also the azata-blooded assimar-shaped elephant in the room but im going to refrain from talking about him#because we dont have time to unpack aaaall that)#riv finds the path that sure is wrathfully righteous#oc: elluin

Currently thinking about Doleon's hidden claustrophobia and why he even has it
I've mentioned it briefly once before, but for recap, it happened while he, and Kieran, who had reluctantly agreed to help Doleon with his "harmless idea" and only became more wary of it as it went on, were Shard stealing from the other guardians. Of course, if their own brothers couldn't be there at every second of the day to watch over their Shards, there had to be other, more "natural" ways to keep them and their power protected. (Did the Supreme do this? Did the Supreme PLAN for any of this? Who knows...)
So they have a few Shards collected (there WERE ways to get them and stay unnoticed by their guardians, though immensely difficult,) and are now going for Orpheus' Shard. His ability is super strength, so what's the more "natural" way of protecting his shard when its not where its supposed to be?
Lol, the ENTIRE ruin-like area starts to close in on itself! Be quick, or...you can figure out the rest.
(Also, would like to mention, they aren't just carrying the Shards around the entire time. They put them in a place only they know about to keep them secure.)
So that starts to happen. Naturally, both Doleon and Kieran are panicking. Kieran's the smarter one, Doleon knows that, so he wants him to try and find some way out of the ruins so he can stop this, and they can escape with the Shard (not because he wants to keep his younger brother safe...? As he usually would...? Hmmmmm...ODD.) So Kieran gets out somehow (this is an in-the-moment idea I just had...maybe he escaped by going upwards? He has a better grip than Doleon when it comes to climbing and stuff,) and IMMEDIATELY works on trying to stop this. That's his BROTHER in there.
Doleon tries to stop it from the inside, too. But he's not as strong as his older brothers. Or as fast. Or as smart. Or as powerful...
All he has is his stupid electric energy thing.
Meanwhile Kieran doesn't even KNOW if he has an actual power...anything he's done so far has been so random and strange he doesn't even know what to do with it!
But its still closing in.
Kieran is panicking, but Doleon? He's terrified.
He's not going to survive this.
It isn't until things start getting REALLY painful that Doleon is actually able to do something, though. NOW he's starting to feel a little power coming back to him, that power he craved so much ever since he messed with his own Shard the first time. But what he did was somehow both involuntary and unnoticed by himself once everything just barely stopped before he could be crushed. Either way, the ruins were DESTROYED now. Reduced to mere rubble on the ground. Kieran, of course, ran over to him, relieved. But he had to ask...what was that?
Doleon could ask him the same thing.

Hi! It's me again (I'm transferring to a bachelor's in biology this fall and I love the science that goes into the series so I love that you're exploring this)
Do either of them have hoarding instincts or dietary preferences or are they pretty much human in that regard?
They'd possibly be born with baby teeth, at least in Haze/Hazel's case, would that change anything? (Hazel would probably fit better because Falin is half French on her father's side from what I remember from the Adventurer's Bible and it feels even that they'd both get to name a kid but that's just my opinion)
Tumblr media
Haru with his mouth full: Checkit!! Blegh!! Haize: Gross. Good job, Haru, you're a natural hunter!
Welcome back to part 10,000 of me talking about my silly ocs. Hi. hello. Thank you sooo much for coming back with more biology questions for these two hehehe >:]c
Diet Preferences?
These two are quite the oddballs. Haru is an insectivore by simple dragon nature while Haize is a carnivore by hers, though their elven and tallman sides balance them out to be closer to omnivores! Light dragons commonly eat bugs as they're the easiest prey to attract when ur big and flashy though this keeps them very lithe and they typically have more slender builds, though the proteins do help a lot. Conversely, red dragons being mostly carnivores results in their larger build and their obvious frequency to be the most dominant and persevering dragon species- y'know. Because they murk the other ones due to their weaker diets and builds.
Haru started to eat bugs right around the time it was warm enough for him to go outdoors without getting sick, I imagine he would've eaten a butterfly or a dragonfly much to Marcille's horror. Like that vine of the pug eating the butterfly with his owner screaming no! Backtracking a bit though to give some cool facts about baby light dragons because I decide the lore. I'm making them weird half mammal half bird-lizards because I think the variety is cool but this also means that - up until baby light dragons can open their eyes and properly attempt to hunt - they drink milk from their parents! (Whether or not this is crop milk like birds produce is entirely up to the reader's imagination, I will not judge but I will choose either one if asked)
So up until he started going outside, Haru was perfectly content just drinking milk like any other baby- Haize was not. Unlike Haru she was born with baby fangs!! Just little milk teeth to help her get a headstart for the world and such, but she grew hungrier for something more diverse than milk very quickly. Red dragons, unlike light dragons, don't do the whole milk thing so Haize was only partially satiated due to being part elf and tallman but the minute she was allowed to eat soft meats she basically refused to go back. So just imagine like a 1 year old eating various lunch meats for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Honestly it was probably for the best, Haize's fangs bit into Marcille a lot and they were worried she might grow a taste for blood if she kept accidentally nicking her mom while trying to eat. She probably would have and it would've been a really bad habit to get rid of because she hadn't developed that big girl brain to be like "Hey maybe drinking blood isn't super cool."
All in all, the Touden-Donato sibs have slightly preferenced diets! Though Haize prefers meats, nectar, and citrus fruits while Haru prefers bugs, ground vegetables, citrus fruits, and any/all milk based desserts (he just really likes them). God if these kids ever got their hands on sorbet it would be a disaster, Falin and Marcille would literally spend a week trying to explain why they cant have ice cream for every meal and have to deal with whining dragonets the whole time.
2. Hoarding Instincts
They do have hoarding instincts! Though this is one of those things that differs from dragon to dragon on how they react with it. Light dragons tend to go for the flashiest treasures to make themselves more appealing and alluring, naturally they like the attention they draw in just from an instinctual standard. They frequently discard rusted, unpolished, or just not as eyecatching treasure all the time. They really just arent particular about the whole thing unless they see you have an interest in something they were previously disinterested in- then they're smug assholes who see their treasure as still having some renewed value. So essentially Envy = Worthy to them, but they arent extremely vain creatures despite their hoarding preference and are actually particularly generous within reason. It's very common for light dragons to gift their young, mates, or siblings with treasures from their own hoards or that they've taken for themselves to gift. Typically though the gifting of treasure is to help younger dragons start their own hoard and have an idea of what to go for when out and about for themselves.
That being said, Haru is a greedly little fucker who wants every single new treasure possible, fuck you. He's very grateful for being part elf and tallman because he's aware that he can make his beautiful treasures last long if he polishes, dusts, and cleans them! So his hoard isn't too huge if only because he's good at maintaining things. Still, if he sees something he tends to want it and is often reprimanded for trying to steal shiny gems, jewels, or artifacts just because he likes them- as Haru often gets tired with his new finds extremely quickly if they begin to bore him or don't compare to his other treasures. When it comes to his hoarding he essentially has the dragon equivalent to having eyes bigger than your stomach.
Haize, however, has your more traditional dragon's hoard of miscellanous treasures, artifacts, coins from birthdays, and prized family gifts. Much of her hoard consists of trinkets Haru grew bored with but that she still saw interest in and wanted to give renewed purpose, she isn't nearly as picky but is very curious and likes to inspect an item before taking it in. She'll often let Haru have a treasure knowing that he'll get tired of it within the hour- though she has been known to assert her place as the eldest sibling if there is a gift for her she particularly wants and Haru usually shies off. Haize doesn't assert herself as the eldest often so he knows it's business if she does for things like food or treasure. Haru keeps her hoard partially in and around the her nest as well as the family nest in Falin and Marcille's room! Her nest in the guardian is where she keeps most of her baby clothes, toys, trinkets, and cloths/blankets. She just feels they're safest there and prefers to sleep near them <3.
Also, fun tid bits on how dragons train their kids to gain treasure!: Typically young dragons get the urge to grab and snatch at shiny things as soon as they're able to crawl around functionally and protect themselves- which is pretty early due to them being predators of a mythical variety- so they'll often try and steal treasure from their parent's hoard! Older dragons use this as stealth training for their young and will often guard their treasure, sitting stop or nearby and continuously removing their children until they manage to sneak by successfully to take a trinket. Typically the larger/shiner/whatever is more impressive for the type of dragon you are is what is most rewarded for by parents but they do punish thinking a bit too big. It's good to know your limits! better to have 5 gold coins than 5 gold bricks you cant carry.
so Falin was very often having to train Haru and haize to amass their own treasures which was much easier for Haize due to her slinky and stealthy body allowing for quicker and quieter movement! Haru had to learn to fight, due to his regular baby limbs and range of movement, which didnt really work because he's so itty bitty but the thought was appreciated by Falin, learning to stand your ground is good too!

Sleepy brainwyrms
While attempting to get some sleep last night (no thanks to my lovely cat deciding to use me as a combination bed, heating pad, and scratching post), my brain decided to say "What if....assassin Sanji?"
Instead of the Arcanists' Guild snatching him up in Limsa, the Rogues' Guild got him instead. And while he was always averse to hunting animals, hunting people came so much easier to him. And now he's this mild-mannered guy who's tender to animals and loves to cook, but all of the bitterness over the abuse he suffered back home has now been channeled into taking down the scum of Eorzea.
And and...what if...he meets Hyperia because she's one of the marks? He's sent to take out one of the people responsible for the Ultima Weapon and so much Imperial oppression and....he ends up falling in love with her instead?

Glitch Tea (human version)
Tumblr media
Lore (?)
There is one legend that on Inkwell Isle, somewhere in the mountains, there lives one mug .. Nobody knows where it comes from, but those residents who saw it say that they see it for the first time .. Sometimes it can suddenly appear and suddenly disappear..If you meet her, then most likely she wishes you good luck … but this is just a legend, right?
Actually : Glitch Tea (aka Marshmallow Tea (or just Tea) was an ordinary and rather shy cup who worked in the theater to earn some money.. She was not popular, but nevertheless she liked to dance.. Sometimes she performed together with King Dice (who she considered his only "friend").. Everything was great until one day she stopped attending the theater..
