Moving onto his clothes! His colors are mostly picked from Areyan's design sheet.

The one that binds (or rather, bound) the Snake King is the exception, surely?

#arslan senki #the heroic legend of arslan #daryun #Team Zahhak approve of this statement lmao #okay proper thoughts on Chapter 125 coming soon

They are Arslan's real mother and father for me.

I don't care what the canon says :3

"this is my comfort character"

and this is a character who never knew happiness, suffered all his life and then died

#literally almost all my characters #all soulsborne characters #and Guts #he is still alive but suffering a lot #guiscard #dark souls #oscar of astora #arslan senki #berserk #Bloodborne #lady maria

Obviously I wouldn't be working on a cross stitch project like the one I'm working on if I didn't love Arslan Senki but I cannot emphasize enough how much it is the story of all time for me

there is not a single version that I dislike, or that I think brings nothing to the experience of the story

but when you boil it down, the thing that has held me so captivated and brought me back to the story over and over and over is that Arslan himself is so gentle, and kind, and softhearted

and not only does the story not punish him for that like so many would, but those are the traits about him that his retainers love, and they would do anything to prevent him from losing that gentleness

the story shows over and over again that Arlsan is right and that he doesn't have to change who he is in order to learn to be a good king

and it just really gets me that in a story that can so often feature violence and deceit, that the core value is still that being kind is worth it

#Arslan Senki #and on the flipside I love Prince Freya because she does struggle with her anger and the story lets her do so #if you gender-swapped them I don't think either character would be as engaging for me #but the fact that they are both allowed to be who they are in defiance of both the gender norms and genre tropes #really serves to make both stories stronger #of course there's also a lot of other shit about Arslan that drives me absolutely feral #but this is unquestionably the thing that really gets me

[apollolewis]

There’s no character I want to hug more than Arslan. Like the poor baby, he basically only had one person growing up that treated him like a son.

#arslan senki #the heroic legend of arslan #Arslan senki manga #arslan senki spoilers #Arslan deveres so much more #this chapter was basically exposing all the secrets of the royal family #Also Arslan was adopted but adoptive parents are parents #an adoptive child is still your child #treat them as such

So, here is the poll for the "evil" aunts name I talked about in the ask-post. I also put the actual Arabic writing form for the names as that seems appropriate.

(My source is the behind-the-name-website: https://www.behindthename.com/names/gender/feminine/usage/persian)

#arslan senki #the heroic legend of arslan #heroic legend of arslan #maaren au #firelight au #oc #names are always so hard #this character has changed her name nearly three times now! #the only one whos name has persisted is Azars

[daryun]

One thing about Arslan Senki is that we have a few characters who aren't Parsian.

So I am curious about Jaswant's reaction to this foreign county's mythology actually being bleeding true. (What kind of implications does this have for Shindhuran mythology?)

n'awwww Jimsa seems to have left the picture after chapter 123, I think this is the last we see of him and he had a horse packed and ready to go.

I would love to have seen Jimsa also swearing at the gigantic Parsian Snake Monster. We'd be learning so much colourful Turanian.

In terms of our heroes in chapter 126

I really need to see Daryun's reaction. I need to know for legal reasons if he is the "If it's real I can kill it, obvs" or if he needs to overcome a "holy shit" moment.

I will patiently be waiting for chapter 127, it's bound to be a good one.

(The downside to this version of the story is there will be no Daryun catching Alfreed on Mt Damavand during an earthquake moment, unless that comes later? I just love him looking out for her)

[pastellig]

Moments after he receives news that he is not the son of Andragoras and Tahamenay, Arslan expresses concern for the whereabouts of Tahamenay’s daughter.

He’s such a good person.

Familial resemblance. (This image is what came to Narsus's mind in Chapter 29 when he first considers the possibility that this silver-masked man is Prince Hilmes. Hilmes looks more like Andragoras than Osroes here, maybe a visual hint at what's just been revealed? They have the same frown lines, lmao. And the hair/hairline is similar, too.)

#arslan senki #the heroic legend of arslan #arslan senki spoilers #though i think everyone's read the new chapter now? #hilmes #andragoras #osroes #Hilmes's thin eyebrows must be from his mother #though the angle/position of his brow is from his father's side from the looks of it

God look at Gieve in this panel

Every single one of them : *sincerely kneel before the queen, faster than the speed of light*

Gieve : ............

*finally kneels down to not stand out among them*

He doesn't give two fucks about royalty. Also, he finds the queen cheap, for she deducted a sum from his measly prize money :'D
