Dungeon Meshi Ch14- The Kelpie, when you were a mythology kid

"That's a Kelpie."

"No, she's not, that's a kelpie, kelpies are ravenous beasts. Stop whatever you're doing, Senshi."

"Yes, they're omnivores that lure people onto their backs, drown them, and eat them."

"Senshi, no. That is exactly what a Kelpie wants someone to do so it can eat them. You will get eaten."

"Listen to the boy! When the monsterfetishistlover thinks its a bad idea, the man who reads about monsters in his free time, it's a bad idea."

"Senshi. Stop. Get off while you can. If you can. You're an idiot. Fucking stop this idiocy."

"Get that fucking shocked look off your face, Senshi, this is what kelpies do. You literally did this to yourself. Because you're an idiot."

"SENSHI. THAT'S JUST WHAT KELPIES DO. THEY'RE NOT MAGICAL WATER HORSES, THEY'RE SHAPECHANGING MONSTERS THAT TAKE ON THE FORM OF A HORSE TO LURE DRUNKEN IDIOTS ONTO THEIR BACKS. THIS IS LIKE SAYING 'I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THAT DRAGON BURNED DOWN A VILLAGE AND TOOK OUR SHEEP.' IT'S WHAT THEY DO. YOU'RE LUCKY YOUR PARTY DIDN'T CONSIDER YOUR DEATH TO BE THE JUST CONSEQUENCE OF YOUR IDIOCY, AND SAVED YOU."

#dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #Senshi #Anne #Kelpies #Mythology #The only kind of character who should be considering a kelpie as a reasonable mount is another water-based monster #Like if a selkie wanted to ride a kelpie then sure. I could see that working #But not a dwarf #dwarves are known for being drunken #dwarves already have trouble with water due to their density #The only way a dwarf could be more The Natural Prey of Kelpies is if they typically had Irish Brogues instead of vague scotch/norse accents #Motion that the story of the scorpion and frog be replaced by the story of Senshi and the Kelpie

Mermay is HERE AHHHHHHH

I'm doing the whole M9 bc I love making mermaids based on character traits!

Here is Veth! I made her a Kelpie...I think the whole not owning your body mythology would fit her. I headcanon that the goblins who kidnapped her and her family took her seal coat and kept her after letting her husband and kid go. Caleb saved her by finding the coat and giving it back to her, unknowingly freeing her, and thus their friendship began.

I'll finish this later! Maybe with a comic too!

Remember how I said I had Faas sketches. Well now I have a rendered and colored Faas drawing. Aren’t I fancy-

But ye, here he is with enya. He isn’t actually grumpy, he just doesn’t visually emote very much for trauma and autism reasons. I forgot to mention that Enya is a kelpie. The story takes place, as mentioned earlier, in Pennsylvania, (which had and has one of the highest Irish population densities in the US) so I was thinking that maybe kelpies were an “invasive species” since they can be dangerous and belong to the unseelie quart, and can be killed without any punishment. Enya’s mother was murdered when she was twenty months old.

Due to the traditional horse like appearance of kepies, she has horizontal pupils, (but golden eyes sort of like a frog. actually playing around with kelpies having a pollywog stage between birth, or maybe hatching, and 12-18 months. still up in the air tho) and horse legs and ears. She has fins as her ‘hair’ and tail tho.

Up until puberty hits, kelpies are physically unable to show anyone their true form, sort of like the way fawns don’t have a scent for the fist few days after birth, for safety reasons.

However Faas can see her true form because in many troll folklore, they are immune to certain types of magic, especially of the concealitory (apparently that isn’t a word but I don’t care) variety. Kelpies aren’t true shape shifters like changelings, the mask you see is nothing more than a shield of magic that tricks your brain into seeing a human, while they are still green and horsey underneath the whole time. This magic also effects photos, drawings, and mirrors and is especially strong when the person is young.

Anyway, yeah. You’re welcome for the ramble that no one asked for

"Shelties aren't useful as herding dogs as they are too small to round up sheep and we don't know if they were ever used on sheep at all. We have no idea. Maybe they were used to bark at birds? Speculation is all we have. All sources have been lost to time. Rip."

Shetlanders:

#the whole 'its not a kelpie or BC so its not a sheepdog. shame theres not an entire population with strong farming traditions still living #and working in their ancestral home that we can ask to solve this mystery for us."#that gets me.#they have no particular purpose on the modern sheep farm because they were not developed for that

Based upon a close text reading of The Scorpio Races and a google-spiral on the dates that things were invented, I have concluded that it takes place somewhere in the vicinity of 1933-1935.

That is all.

#the scorpio races #sometime when it isn't 1am I will happily show my working #anyway this book fucking ruled and anyone who thought it was mediocre is baffling to me #but maybe that's just the celtic folklore nerd and kelpie lover in me #WHAT A BOOK #leaves every other het romance since pride & prejudice for dead

What boardgames (or card games) would the three mer brothers like best, assuming they were already introduced to them?

If I had a brainjuice for drawing I would make a picture of the family playing go-fish. Not because I think it's best game for them but bc it has fish in it.

I think they would absolutely scream and yeet each other with playing UNO.

That game is absolutely pain and the brothers playing that would be downright HILARIOUS. Eclipse: WHAT IS THIS GAME Eclipse: (drawing like 20 cards that are not green) GIVE ME A GREEN CARD

Eclipse: oh yay okay there.

Moon: (uno reverse card) Eclipse: .....I hate this game.
