All it means when people say “you’re speaking from a place of privilege” is that you’re likely to underestimate how bad the problem is by default because you are never personally exposed to that problem. It’s not a moral judgement of how difficult your life is.
I think Kuras' angel form should have little bit of owl in him. Let this man perch on the very top of the Senobium and go HOOT HOOT when Mhin and MC acknowledge him, head turning 180° to regard them and all
actually, i did want to ask you all - a commonly shared sentiment about character creators in games or dressup games online is there's very frequently a lack of black hairstyles.
so it made me curious - what are some black hairstyles you wish would be included more in character creators/dressup games? or ones you get really happy to see are included?
some of the things about dunmeshi that make me so so emotional, in no particular order
Laios killing chimera Falin because even though it would be much cleaner and easier for Marcille to kill her with magic, he doesn’t want Marcille to carry that weight if this is Falin’s final death (incredibly underrated moment)
Chilchuck asking Marcille if she wants to meet his family, even though she’s being Like That, and Marcille immediately perking up
just in general the incredible love and gentleness the party shows towards dungeon lord Marcille and their unwillingness to hurt her and how much she obviously loves and treasures them in return. so powerful.
HIPPOGRIFF SOUP……..
The implication that Laios, on at least some level, wishes to abandon his humanity completely and also wishes he could always be there for Marcille and his other loved ones, and reconciles those two wishes with an impossible fantasy of leaving a “better” version of himself behind that can be with them instead (very underrated)
Laios thinking in one of the bonus chapters(?) about how intense dragon experts get and how it made him feel inadequate and alienated from loving dragons, but when he really thinks about them/interacts with them, he realizes it makes him happy and he really does love them. autistic joy is so real.
when the winged lion asks Falin if she wants to eat more. something something the inseparability of hunger from life. for some reason that single line made tears spring to my eyes. and then she says yes.
Laios in the final scene being so kind to the children and explaining himself to them. he’s so good!!! all you fuckers [other characters] misjudged him!!! you never knew him!!! and now he’s loved and understood and creating a better world!!!
Girl are you the Hays Code the way you consider media irredeemable if it depicts anything that strays away from the norm you're comfortable with or depicts anything morally questionable without definitively condemning it and anyone associated with it, therefore creating worse stories and content and making it difficult for people to engage with complicated issues from a nuanced and controlled perspective?
How do your touchstarved MCs view the light? Like… how would they respond to this question?
what does the light mean to you?
Monet
The light for her means… safety. Warmth. Being seen, not harshly exposed, but just… gently seen and still worth being cared for warmly. She knows most people hide, shun or even have disdain for it because it’s typically the opposite, especially as a thief. But Monet can’t help but find comfort in it, knowing the light gives a certain warmth and serenity to a person…
Keiki
The light for Keiki means rebirth. Not necessarily a new life in a physical sense but to a way of living. Something new. And hopefully, something brighter.
Rosamie
For Rosamie, the light means danger. Always did. Be it the sun, the artificial spotlight or holding the gaze of people watching her every move. There's also a heat to it that she can't explain, as if she's being burned when focused on but... that's something she could never explain the feeling of.
