Caught up to Dungeon Meshi today and it's making me wanna draw Bayleaf but I can't so I will ramble about him instead <3

He's a young adult, might still have his stripes even, and wants to Do Good, specifically he wants to do good by his people, but he's got a restless soul and a great deal of curiosity about the world around him. He hasn't had a lot of run-ins with other races, so when Laios and the party first run into the orcs he's fascinated.

When the party leaves, he asks Zon for permission to go with them, and is granted such. Then, he asks to join their party, and since both his knowledge of the dungeon and an extra pair of hands (and muscle) would help them out greatly, he comes along. His primary goal here is to help them defeat the red dragon, as he never really understood the reason why Zon hesitated to strike against it, and also to learn more about this odd group of people (sans Senshi whom he already met and has a great deal of respect for).

He's very good at taking down monsters, but turns out he doesn't actually know much about the upper dungeon levels since he's never been there before, so the party would proceed as usual until they run into Tansu's party. Having an orc with them I assume would make anyone they encounter more prone to hostility, but I imagine that aggression would generally be directed more toward him than the rest of the party, so he would stay behind with Marcille and Chilchuck while Laios and Senshi went with Mr. Tansu to explore before continuing on their way.

I'm reading the manga but I haven't got to this part yet, so I don't know if it's ever mentioned or explained how/if the orcs got through the staircase where the frogs and the tentacles are. For now, I'll say that wasn’t actually the way the orcs came through, but a shortcut to the fifth floor that Zon marked for them on the map he gave them. Again, Bayleaf isn't much help navigating that problem, but he's quite good at helping kill the frogs (with one extra frog added for him in my story), and also pretty good at sowing the frog suits - he's good at making and mending things, including wounds.

Bayleaf is quite good at navigating the fifth floor though - the lead up to the fight with the red dragon as well as the fight itself and the aftermath follow as usual. Through all this, he's developed a great amount of respect for all the party members, even Marcille whom he was wary of at first, because he's fascinated by magic and inspired by her passion. He doesn’t have much to say about her using dark magic to resurrect Falin, and is acrually helpful at putting her skeleton back together since he knows what worg bones look like very well.

He had planned to go back to Zon and the other orcs after resurrecting Falin to tell them of the red dragon's defeat, but the run in with Thistle changed his plans - he ended up injured and trapped with the rest of the party, and when running in with Leed and the orcs who stayed on the fifth his presence is another thing that stills their hand and gives Leed the incentive to help them.

From then, since the party decides to return to the surface, he sees himself having to chose between following them and staying with Leed. Since he's not welcome on the surface (or any of the upper floors, really) and his people will be returning soon, it would be the obvious choice for him to stay with them.... but he's attached to the party now, so he decides he'll stay with them a little longer, if for no other reason then at least to help them get back to the fourth floor.

... which turns out to be a bigger problem than intended, since the dungeon's layout starts shifting, and again I'm assuming this is something the orcs never had to deal with before, so Bayleaf's just as lost and hungry as the rest of his party.

When Laios, Senshi and Chilchuk go investigate the dryad graveyard (?), he stays behind with Marcille since she's weakened and injured and he's worried about her. In my brain this is a nice little moment of bonding between them, which is interrupted when the rest of the party returns with their horrible allergies. He later gets the same Talk tm that Senshi gives Chilchuck and he's just as mortified as Chilchuck is.

Things would proceed as usual once again until meeting with Kabru, Shuro and co. Where once again having an orc with them causes hostility and friciton, once again directed more toward Bayleaf himself than the rest of the party, but much more aggravated now than with Mr. Tansu which for the first time causes him to react with aggression in kind.

Laios and Marcille manage to stop any fights before they brew and convince the other parties to let Bayleaf be, but he proceeds to spend most of the time leading up to Falin's reappearance sitting by himself. Senshi tries to include him, but he doesn’t want to be near Shuro's attendants or Kabru's party, so he sits by himself, and I'm liking to think as such he'd be the first one to be attacked by the harpies and the one to inform the others about them.

He's knocked out by Falin around the same time Tade is. Marcille heals him after she leaves, and he continues with the party after the others leave... though noticeably quiet, with something in his mind. Senshi notices most likely, and they would have a long talk about the prejudices harbored by the other races against orcs. Bayleaf saw it in how Marcille and Zon interacted, but she's since been much more agreeable and friendly toward him, and it hurt him to see how others outside the party have been treating him.

He'll need some sort of reassurance from the party that they're not gonna turn on him, which I'm sure Senshi and Laios can provide. And I like to think Marcille too, since they've been developing a budding friendship this whole time. Chilchuck... well, he's Chilchuck, anxiety ridden and so profoundly caring Chilchuck, and I think he's had time to warm up enough to Bayleaf by now to not want him harmed. Maybe even enough to activate his Father Instincts. Special extra dunmeshi episode focusing on the party and their relationship with Bayleaf and them promising to not leave him behind, exclusive to me and my brain <3

Tune in for next week when I continue to add my oc to the next episode's plot <3

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

What you signed up for: warcraft trolls and warcraft in general

What you're getting: Animal people who won't stop clawing at the walls in my brain to be let out

#Partly joking but I've been drawing my animal people in between working on [REDACTED] and college work #and also working on lore and worldbuilding for my lil furry headworld and thinking about stories and ideas #and it is very soothing but also makes me feel kinda guilty however it is what it is ✌️ #blabbles #warcraft content should resume after [REDACTED] and/or the troll heritage questline drops if it's good <3

My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.

I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think “Well, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot more” so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that “10” is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said “6” because I thought “Well, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.”

its fascinating how very very surface level 1920s-ish jazz age inspired aesthetics are very popular (see: hazbin hotel and electroswing and the endless wave of bowtie pinstripe character designs from the 2010s) but the vast vast majority of people who are into that seem fundamentally disinterested in actually engaging with actual jazz age art and culture because that would require engaging with black art

Btw guys, expect another twitter migration because, apparently, twitter has a high chance of being banned in Brazil

To any new people coming here: Hi! Please don’t feel pressured to speak English, speak Portuguese or Spanish or Your Language Of Choice!! We may not have automatic translations like twitter does, but that doesn’t mean that you should have to cater to English-only speakers

A dilemma: I finished that lineup of furry OCs I was working on a few days ago and was unsure whether I'd share or not. Now that they are finished, I do want to share, however they all have their whole dick and/or boobs out. And I don't want to bother drawing clothes for every one of them before posting

#blabbles #if this were any other situation I couldn't care less about the dicks and boobs #however I don't trust tumblr with them #and god forbid people find out i draw dick and boobs on the regular /silly
