Everytime I remember that one extra comic that shows that present day Thistle isn't even 16 yet I go a little crazy. Assuming he didn't just stop aging when he became dungeon lord he would've been even younger when that happened. Delgal really said damn my country is in crisis I know what will fix it: time to give the nuclear launch codes to the most autistic middle schooler I know

One detail I've always really liked in dunmeshi's worldbuilding is the difference in life expectancies among races. I don't mean the different rates at which they age but specifically how long they live from the point of view of their own group. For example, dwarfs are directly stated to age 2.5x slower than a tall-man, but where tall-men's life expectancy is only about 60, for a dwarf it would be about 200 (equivalent to 80).
Tumblr media
At first this stood out as odd to me but it makes sense when you look up the average lifespan for every race. In general, the short-lived races all have a smaller age of maturity to life expectancy ratio than all the long-lived ones.
I really love this discrepancy because the implication here is that long-lived races not only have longer lifespans due to aging slower, but they also just live longer generally due to a better quality of life, as they have taken the most fertile and livable lands to themselves, resulting in less conflicts over resources and faster technological developments.

Ultimately how long you live isn't just a fantastical element of the setting, but a political one as well.

this is so fucking funny to me bc unlike with her you Could argue that was the reasoning behind mithrun being sent to the canaries: choosing his brother who wasn't very physically strong or well regarded status-wise would probably be seen as insulting to the crown or whatever. mithrun was just mad about it bc despite being the 'perfect' son he still ends up in the losing side of this power dynamic, he's not angry his parents would trade a child for better status he's just angry that the child they traded was Him, despite him playing along by elf society's rules perfectly. but because he measures his own worth by how well he can play that role, him not reaping all the benefits that come with it automatically means he must be inferior somehow. Pattadol on the other hand. im sorry there's no way her parents just didnt pick whatever kid they'd care less about losing sorry pattadol. she was sent to the canaries after the utaya incident where whatever vast amount of elfs died was enough to leave them understaffed for years. there's no way a massacre like this wouldn't be fresh in any parents mind. even if they just couldn't refuse the queens request or something, it still stands that they looked at their kids and went. hm which one of those are we willing to risk getting utaya'd okay pattadol it was nice knowing you. and the only reason this doesn't utterly fuck her up as it should. is that shes genuinely like. nooooo was i a bad daughter :( well i can't think of any flaws that i have actually. am i just too awesome yeah that sounds right and im fine now. insane. entire crisis averted bc pattadol is simply too confident in herself

I really love these panels visually bc I feel like they really illustrate Thistle's relationship with the royal family
Tumblr media
There's a visual separation between Thistle, at the other end of the sofa, and the family, accentuated even more by the fur in between them. Despite that, you get the sense that he's closer to them than you'd expect a normal jester to be, as he is present at such a delicate family moment, and he does get to sit leisurely at the sofa arm. And yet, he's still executing his role as a jester during it, still playing the lute, the difference in standing between them and the others clear
and then, the moment when he puts the lute down and is fully integrated into the scene, is only when he comes closer to see the baby Delgal
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
which I feel is symbolic of the way Thistle would've been "part of the family" but not really family, not until Delgal came along... which aside from Thistle having more trouble to connect to humans due to different lifespans as he grow older, the trauma of seeing the king being murdered, the amount of years he spent with Delgal in general... is an important reason why he's so attached to Delgal specifically
