Hilariously my dungeon meshi brainrot is actually turning out to be an obstacle for writing mdzs fic?? And not in the 'can't focus due to shiny new hyperfixation' way either it's because of a philosophical conflict between the two works. It's not like they're complete opposites or anything but in mdzs and the cultivation genre at large the act of finding balance and spiritual enlightenment leads to this... slowing and even halting of the cycle of life. You can go without eating or sleeping, prolong your lifespan and even become immortal and these are all good admirable things to strive for. Meanwhile in dungeon meshi that would not fly at all like the whole story is an exploration on how trying to extract yourself from the cycle of life and the natural ecosystem you're a part of is actually really bad and you shouldn't do it. All living things need to eat and all will eventually be eaten!!
So when i've been rotating dunmeshi all day and wanna get to one of my wips i have to actively rewire my brain before I start going "Inedia is a violation of the natural cycle of consumption and being consumed" girl that is NOT the energy that's needed here.
#mdzs#dungeon meshi#fic writing#the contrast is pretty interesting but like... the idea of cultivating to immortality is way more than just a genre trope#it's the fucking basis for very real cultural and religious practices and philosophy going back millenia#you can't really try to 'subvert' that in an mdzs fic it's not really in any way what mdzs is about it's its literal philosophical backdrop#it's baked into the foundations of its world so deeply it's not really noteworthy anymore#so removing it doesn't feel like an imteresting exercise it just feels like a loss. it feels like ignorance.

my favourite thing about this panel in episode 63
is that rachel did not move athena for twenty three panels
^ this is at the beginning of episode 63. rachel literally kept athena and the background the exact same, blurred it slightly, and put hestia and artemis in the forefront. you can tell she's still got the vacant smile even blurred out. rachel's been doing the png thing for a while
#anti lo#anti lore olympus#am i rereading old chapters to prepare myself for the next release perhaps#like it's such a small thing but it's very telling imho#u can tell that athena IS drawn INTO the scene - her body more or less adapts to the surroundings#so rachel likely drew that panel with athena and artemis with the background in mind and present#but then she zooms out and uses athena as the backdrop#as a sin it's not particularly egregious and if it was like this one thing i'd ignore it#but knowing rachel starts just throwing pngs onto flats pretty early in the series ... it's not a good look#anyways!

The Felted Dragon is now open!
And I've got 10 Underdark refugees looking for homes!
I am currently opening with limited stock, but will be adding new products regularly.
And to celebrate, I've got a promo going on.
(note: although it isn't showing in the photos quite as well as I would like; the first one in the red robe and the last one in the purple robe have silver hair!)
Each plush order comes in the form of a bundle featuring adoption certificates, Halloween goodies, and a special handmade resin crystal from one of a few batches I made a couple years back!
The Halloween extras are in limited supply, but the next group of boxes will have new items in their place!
#felted dragon shop#plz ignore the rough lighting on the unedited pics in the listings D:#tragically the lighting in my work area really sucks right now and it'll be a few days before I can fix it#and my new photography backdrop kit is surprisingly... crappy#so I had to make do with the best that I could :(#if you're interested in one of them in particular but want more/larger photos let me know

who: @manaliimanderly
where: white harbour, following the discovery and rescue of manal manderly from the little king. upon her rescue, manal was escorted immediately to white harbour whilst nasir stayed behind to eviscerate the camp.
two weeks; two weeks had passed since the fateful night where the silhouette of the ruling lord of white harbour had pushed through the flaps of a tent that would have done nothing to maintain any sense of warmth or heat in the freezing temperatures of the wilderness of the north. in the nights leading up to the final attack, he had thought much on what would be running through his mind the moment he set eyes upon his sister once again, who had been missing for months. nearing a year, with nothing but the word of treacherous vermin to confirm she remained alive - that, and a hunch.
he wondered whether he would be able to say anything, what would come to mind, but as he pushed open the flap of that tent, the sight before him was enough to cause nothing but silence to befall him.
he remembered seeing the ropes that had caused her skin to burn and bleed, double roped and double knotted, and he barely even made eye contact as he moved to cut her hands free. and when nasir manderly finally looked upon his little sister, it was only to look upon her; there was not a word that came from his mouth. not merely out of adrenaline, but out of fear; fear that his voice would not be able to stop, or fear that the slight choking sob that threatened to escape from his lips would only become louder. his hands trembled as he cut her free from the pole she had been tied to, his eyes only breaking from hers to look around for anyone else: there was nobody else.
everybody else, all the other captives of women who looked just like her, had been killed. she was the only one left - for how long?
everything else was a blur, the way in which they crept to the outskirts of the camp, looking over the corners of various makeshift huts and tents, their breaths held. manal manderly had never had to watch the way in which her brothers had been trained to become warriors; to be less human, but the wolf of the banner they supported so ferociously. only, she had been forced to witness the brother who was once the epitome of grace and civility in the north turn ruthless killer. one would think he gutted the throats of the guards who they needed to creep up upon, to ensure their yells of attempting to raise the alarm went with nobody but the trees to witness and to hear the sounds of men gurgling on their own blood, their tongues ripped out.
and then she had been put upon a horse, which was when he finally opened his mouth to speak to her. resting bloodstained hands behind her head, he cradled her as though he never would get the chance to again: knowing with whatever happened next, his mother would see her daughter again. "i will be home. until you reach our lands, do not stop." the manderly men knew the instructions: the ride would be a hard one. but they could not afford to stop. and then the horse sped off, and nasir manderly tuned back with the other men who had come to support him.
the little king had slipped away, but the camp and his strength had been desecrated. there were young boys in his amy, boys who cried for their mothers; and nasir gave them words of comfort before cutting their short lives ever shorter.
and now, they were back within the walls of white harbour; she had made it home before him. amir was the only one who was yet to return from the isle of skagos and the majority of the fleet, but three of the four were home. his steps left the chambers of his wife and his newborn son khalid, some hours after he entered to see her: because he had wanted to give her time to prepare herself before seeing him again. and when he knocked on the door, he cleared his throat in the way he always did: and when he heard the door unclick, he pushed it open and entered. she looked more like herself again. only, she was not herself, was she?
nasir knew of the effects of war. he knew the effects of terror. but what befell her, was not war - merely terror. he looked upon her, his aura remaining peaceful and calm - he prayed she did not see the regret and the guilt that danced in his eyes. his hand remained on the doorknob, knowing it were important to allow captures to be in a room with an open door: to know they always had an escape. he dealt with his men this way, ones that had been returned as prisoners of war. he never thought he'd deal with his own little sister in such a way.
"i let the servants touch nothing, to ensure everything was the same when you returned." he uttered, indicating toward the letters that remained on her desk from when she was away in the reach. he only extended his hand, offering for her to take it if she wanted. "i've got you. come here. come to me."
#c: manal#manal 002#me just crying ignore me#a break from cedric's toxicity#MY LOVES#i was setting the scene and giving backdrop soz forgive me

not the best photos in the world, but i realised i don't have to sew a custom back rest cover... i can just pad stitch on the wrestling shirts i rarely wear! i just have to figure out where to stick my wrestling patches now. merch breakdown:
the all delste wrestling shirt is from prowrestlingtees, the ECW arena keychain is from mikknacks, i have to ask mango where the sesshomaru keychain is from but he's not the focus, the bat bag is from a midnightspringsdeco kickstarter that was an absolute horror show. the wayne industries lanyard is just there to hold the bat bag shut from pickpockets and mango found it at five below
the pins are hard to see, but from left to right: black panthers pin from burning books (buffalo book store), ghost kitty pin from hot topic, limetown pin from... a giveaway the podcast did to promote the book launch, i believe?
the patches are from my favourite etsy shop, zombiegentlemanart! the phantom of the paradise patch is also from them but we're not here to talk about winslow. i highly recommend grabbing some wrestling patches, they're very affordable for how high quality they are
#[ colour commentary ]#[ not wrestling ]#long post#wheelchair#please ignore me using my musical version of war of the worlds record+jurassic express+danhausen as backdrops lmao#my shelves are a mess of tech and candles. and my bookshelf is really messy because i have a few books out oTL#company man posted a video on wcw's demise and i got to look at kenny omega and my glucose is a little unregulated...#your choice which of these things compelled me to do this in a fit of mania /j i almost tried to use the kane hoodie but he's very moody.#that hoodie is vengeful.

deciding to write bellum in a context beyond and different from what he's shown in in ph is kinda. something. because there's not a whole lot to him and there seems to be an intense focus on having things be 'in character' so it creates the interesting dilemma of. what even is 'in character' for bellum in the first place and are the conclusions i draw about him based off the little bit we get in game things that can be considered 'in character' or w/e, or is (almost) anything fair game since i'm working off of a list of concepts and actions rather than an actual written character
#does this make sense? i have different hangups abt the different characters i write fanfic abt#salty talks#like im personally not too concerned with things being 'in character' bc like. ive enjoyed stuff being out of character#the biggest line i refuse ot cross is like. personal stuff and also when things are like. VERY not smth thye would do or go against arcs#like for me one of my (many lol) linebeck characterization pet peeves is when ppl write post-ph linebeck without considering his arc#like when they just write him post-ph acting the exact same way as he did we you meet him and like he has the same. idk. values?#thats a whole can of worms and i no longer care as much when i write linebeck bc i see him a specific way and so idc im having fun#bellum is just interesting bc unlike. most characters? there isnt a ton there but theres a lot to piece together and draw conclusions from#cuz ill think of fic stuff with bellum abd ill be like 'would he act like that?' and come agaisnt a wall#bc theres very little to compare and contrast with. at this point when i write bellum im kinda just writing an oc and its weird#cuz like ig my personal philosophy with like. keeping my aus as loz aus and not original things is that teh canon versions of these#characters and concepts and w/e are imporant to be considered and like. serve as backdrops? idk how to explain it#so like i dont just want to. write a bellum oc im tyring to write bellum and write from the little seed we get in canon idk what the#difference is but i feel like there is one. like with post ph stuff i dont try to break canon in big ways (or often) so ig with bellum#im trying to keep it so that (with post ph and ph centric writing specifically) it can slot in decently with the established stuff#like. ignoring tone rating all that. idk where im going with this im thinkin abt how i might write bellum and how weird it is

Thinking about a certain scene in Dungeon Meshi that completely encapsulates the Autistic experience of making friends as an adult and how hard it is to try and navigate it without ending up getting hurt.
Like IDK about y'all, but this is a common problem ALOT of Autistic Adults face when trying to make friends with other people, because unlike children who aren't good at keeping their opinions to themselves, Adults ARE. In society, we're even encouraged to "keep the peace" "be polite" and etc, which commonly leads to awful scenarios as shown above when Laois finds out his buddy has come to resent who Laois is without actually telling him. All too often the friends that we love to hang out with, people that we're so happy to spend time with, don't feel the same way and in many cases, come to blame us for our social cues or lack thereof.
And when/if we do eventually find out how our friend feels, Dungeon Meshi hits us with another painful panel of how that usually ends up playing out.
It's hard for Adults with Autism to make friends, and even harder to maintain them because alot of the ways Neurotypicals tell other Neurotypicals that they don't like a certain behavior is by quietly disengaging. Whether that involves having one sentence answers, going quiet, or having a certain tone in their voice, all those things signal annoyance or disapproval, but for the Neurodivergents, those subtle cues are completely missed.
And yet when we inevitably discover we DID do something, it is natural to ask "well why didn't you tell me?" because in our minds, it should've been the next step in the equation. However for the Neurotypicals, that's NOT something to bring up. Its important to be SUBTLE about the issue at hand and rely on signals to tell the other person. Blame is placed on us for not noticing the "obvious" signs of disapproval rather than the idea of talking it out as such things are uncomfortable and harder to do. Alot of the time what ends up happening is resentment due to the idea that it was "obvious" and the fact one didn't notice indicates a deliberate ignorance rather than a complete unawareness. It ends up calling into question our quality as a person and our sincerity. We get called "fake" or "malicious" or even "stupid" for failing social cues rather than questioning the decision to be indirect and vague.
For a manga about exploring the dungeon, it seems that the artist would rather explore very real and prevalent dynamics in society with the adventuring premise as a backdrop. I felt VERY seen in these panels, and many others, because it happens so suddenly and dare I say it, plainly. There's no dramatic build-up or spectacle made and in essence, it just Happens.
I think that's what makes the scene hit even harder. It seemingly comes out of nowhere for Laois, like how it always comes out of nowhere for alot of people, and it's never a dramatic twist either. It's always mundane and hurtful. A sudden unforeseen bump in the road that ends up calling into question one's entire friendship with someone and consequent other friendships. It asks "what if other friends feel the same. What if the people that I really like actually hate me and I don't know it?" Or at least that's what I came away with after reading the chapter. I've been where Laois was and the only reason I'm not there now is because I lost the naivete I had and doubt everyone else's sincerity.
