Racial Distribution world map

Map based on the population majorities living in the Dungeon Meshi World

Map from this pixiv post and was created based on the "Areas with the largest populations" mini maps from the adventurer's Bible.

Religious Distribution (non Canon)

This map shows the religious distribution on the world map, but I'm not sure what its based on. I believe it's a headcanon.

edit: checked with some friends and indeed the (妄想) at the description of the pixiv post indicates this one isn't canon

The Temple is all tidied and ready for your worshipful act of mortal combat! The eye sockets of our graven god's icon are all polished up, ready to glow menacingly as you bludgeon your sister to death. I've re-stacked every pile of skulls, and mounted more skeletons on the walls for a cosy touch.

OH ARTHUR BENNETT.. such a gorgeous and intriguing character. terribly burdened by a GRUESOME set of crimes, his light suffocated by a HEAVY century of GUILT. so tragic, so dark and broody, and yet PAINFULLY awkward in any social setting ever

#jrwi fanart #cw blood #jrwi show #jrwi suckening #arthur bennett #OUHH THIS ONE WAS SITTING IN MY WIPS FOR SO LOOOONGwhen i took it out there was mould on it :sob: #BUT i think i was able to fix it up okay #i keep seeing SO MANY MISTAKES RRAAAHHH BUT YOU DONT SEE THEM RIGHT?? THATS ONLY ME. RIGHT?? EXACTLY. #THE KEY IS TO SAY. AND REPEAT AFTER ME. 'FUUUCK IT WE BALL #so anyway. arthur bennett huh? grizzly says that arthur is reaal fuckin difficult to play. and i SUPER get that. i mean LOOK AT HIM.. #grizz often needs a minute to think abt what hes gonna say in a way that matches w that Stoic Personality. which is FAIR but also that #ends up making way for awkward confrontations like: the lady in the parky lot. he took too long to answer and scared her away.& I LOVE THAT #arthur is tragic and sad and cool and stoic but hes ALSO awkward and silly and kinda dumb and short sighted. HE HAS COMPLEXITIES #I LOVE WHEN TTRPG CHARACTERS HAVE A GOOD SET OF SHORTCOMINGS. ESPECIALLY WHEN U FIND THEM ONLY AS U PLAY THEM. #I COULd go on and on saying the same things w different words abt arthurs intriguing and entertaining character but i shall spare u. for no #ILL ALSO MENTION HOW MUCH I LOVE HIS FLAVOR THO.. I LOVE TALL HOT BOY WHOS ONE W THE DARKNESS.. I REMEMBER WHEN HE FIRST MENTIONED THE #BADLUCK. N I WAS LIKE OOOHH THATS WHY HIS DESIGN IS SO COOL N CHAOTIC N ASYMMETRICAL. HES UNLUCKY!!! i love love love his design so much... #GRaaauruguguraguhhghghgh what else what else is there for me to spew on abt...i think im reachin a limit here..OH MAGNUS. i hope that #we get to know more abt how magnus and arthur met.. like How they became besties... ouuhh... I ALSO WANNA KNOW MORE ABT MARY DAVIS. LIKEHOW #he also apparently spent alotta time in a zone dominated by edward twilight? all he remembers is constant partying? I WANNA KNOW MORE.. #i think i got room 4 one more ramble SO. THE ART PIECE.as i said its gone a lil stale BUT. im still very proud o the bits where hes allScar #I WANNA SEE HIM GET SCARYMORE. I like the idea of shadows solidifying to make him strange and eerie.like TEETH n CLAWS n SPINES n YESS #also the SILVER EYES.no1 does silver eyes like the show Claymore. they make em look so striking and eerie...i also like to think that #human arthur had deep beautiful brown eyes.just in my beaitufl heart.i mean look at him..i wanna cook him n eat him.ANYWAY #i think thats all my ramblin for this piece. now i gotta go cancel a single day i had ata hotel bc my work schedule change last minute FUCK #feel free to ramble in my tags aswell tho i read all of them and i chew on thenm and i love them so sos os mcuh

Julie Taymor Titus Andronicus Supremacy

Like I'm sorry is this not the hardest shit you've ever seen in your whole life? The combination of the ancient and the contemporary. The visual language. The goddamn spectacle.

(and its free on the internet archive)

#mycupofstars #i think there is something real special and insane about midbudget 1998-2004 dramas anyway #and they are all a little bit insane #also its too bad how spiderman turn off the dark fucked over taymor especially #free my girl #also must be said: james frain is in the movie for like 2 minutes

Some more kitty doodles from the past two days!

More Spoiler ish ones under cut

Drew him as a lil ghosty kitty hehe.

#the ones in white I did on mspaint ones in dark blue I did on procreate since I found a mspaint brush #I want to work on my design for him more to make him look like an actual kitten since especially 6 month olds look a bit strange #aka the age range I think he probably looks #ghost trick spoilers #ghost trick #sissel #ghost trick sissel

imogen corruption arc where she scours old tomes and dark rituals to find out how to banish delilah and then tether laudna's soul back into her body and, either then or at the time of imogen's death, tethers her own soul to laudna's like delilah did so they can spend the rest of laudna's long, undead life together

#maybe i have a thing for dark morally questionable things done out of desperation for the sake of gay love #has this fic already been written #i don't think she'd do the last bit especially after what she said during laudna's ritual about her being free #but it'd be cool and overdramatic and romantic in a twisted way #critical role #cr spoilers #cr3 #bells hells #laudna #imodna #imogen temult #campaign 3 #crit role #critical role spoilers #mine

as much as I love Durge/Astarion and all of the content we get specific to the two of them, I wish Larian had leaned more into Durge/Shadowheart because their stories work so well in parallel: they both have amnesia, work for/with a dark power, and can choose to either accept that darkness or resist it

I feel like Larian could’ve pushed their relationship, even if not romantic, way more simply because of their shared similarities, but afaik, there isn’t even a mention between Durge and Shart about their respective amnesias, despite that being such a unifying and bonding feature between them, not to mention the pull they both feel towards a darkness that’s hidden by that very same memory loss

I was never interested in Shadowheart until I started a Durge run and found out exactly how similar the two of them are, and it makes for such a compelling story, especially if they either enable each other towards darkness or encourage each other towards lightness

#idk I’m salty about Astarion getting so much love from the devs and every other companion getting left out in the cold #don’t get me wrong I fucking love Astarion #my blog is literally an Astarion fan blog with some extra bits on the side #but there are so many compelling character interactions that Larian just never bothered to explore #despite them being really fucking obvious #anyway if you havent romanced shart as durge yet this is your sign to do it (especially in an evil run but a good runs works just as well) #it’s so good and so rewarding #bg3 #astarion #dark urge #shadowheart #durge x astarion #durge x shadowheart

Steve got the Cat Valentine treatment from the fandom. 😐

#cat went from being pretty alt with dark dyed red hair #a vague background that made her seem super mysterious #AND she just genuinely had a bit of a darker vibe #but by the time she was in Sam and Cat she was wearing only pastel fluffy dresses and long wave red hair #like they fucking lobotomized her #and i mean steve didnt have the same alt style as her but he's always been a bit of a bitch #and knows what he wants and how to get it #but the fandom treats him like he's a dumb little puppy who wears pastels and need eddie or robin to guide him through the world #just... #its kinda weird how people baby him #especially wjen he's one of the older and more mature characters #im like 99% sure its to make eddie or robin looker cooler and better next to him and its genuinely annoying #like sure he and cat were pretty dumb at times but that is NOT their only character traits #he's actually really strategic and caring as hell but all people write him as is some sumb pretty jock! #alright im done #steve harrington #eddie munson #robin buckley #steddie #cat valentine #victorious #sam and cat #also i didnt realize how shitty my spelling was in these tags very sorry

Aimé Césaire saying that colonization works to decivilize the colonizer truly lives in my head rent-free

#this is the essence of the v problematic anticolonial critique in so much 19thc literature (eg heart of darkness) right? #(and also its more modern inheritors eg apocalypse now and the Doing An Imperialism Makes Our Soldiers Sad genre of war story) #it glosses right over the crucial 'systems of rapacious cruelty are bad IN THEIR OWN RIGHT BECAUSE BROWN PEOPLE ARE HUMAN' bit #but in that one limited sense - that cruelty also brutalizes the perpetrators - it is very much the same critique #anyway i guess my brain continues to find ways to circle back round to discourse on colonialism no matter the initial topic #lit tag #no more war #imperialism #imperial violence always comes home #cultures of dissociation #aimé césaire #i am also choosing to tag this #sherlock holmes #as like solidly 98% of the stories in which the murderer is a former colonial officer or official are ROILING w this exact anxiety #(especially the hella racist ones. lol.) #i mean loads of authors in that time period are doing it but i have a tag for acd so. #my posts

2021 Shadowlands fanart.

#world of warcraft #anduin wrynn #Garrosh follows this with something like 'yeah your not but maybe i am' so i sorta take the quote out of context but #I remember Anduin being very upset about the mere idea hes compaired to Arthas #Its always seemed to me that his similarities with arthas are something that lowkey bothers him because so many only see that in him #Of course people hurt by Arthas will be a bit weary of a human boy with blonde hair who claims to champion the light and justice #Especially one who is a prince of an important human kingdom #So its something hes self-conscious of and is keen to prove people he's not destine to fail #Which is why #even if he didn't become another Arthas entirely #what happens in SLs is so much more traumatic to him #He hurt people he cared about #he hurt innocent souls #((and his situation of mind control is more akin to sylvanas' then arthas but does he see that that way? Or do his fears blind his view?)) #And blizz didnt go into detail what this meant but Arthas was used against him literally #My headcanon is that Anduin knew and could feel it and hear arthas in the sword #but in the cinematic anduin is surprised by arthas' soul appearing so canon says anduin didnt know #He dissappers because he is unsure if the bad feelings he felt orignated from him or zovaal or arthas so #prehaps he is afraid that everyone was right to be weary of him #Maybe he didnt end up as arthas at the end of shadowlands but that doesnt mean he can't still go down a dark path #he is afraid he is more capable of becoming an unjust and cruel leader then he thought he could #His people have every right to be upset that he abandoned them #but they dont know that he left because he was afraid he could hurt them and feel joy from it

Dark Side of the Moon and Their Fear Entities

Speak to Me - Stranger

It's the pounding heartbeat, the ticking clock and the man that sounds just a bit too distant to make out, the strange laugh that sounds inhuman, the rotors of plane as they grow closer. Something is deeply wrong but it's too early to tell what.

Breathe (In The Air) - Vast

The scream that starts it out, like the first jump off a skyscraper. The gentle melody, like flying above the clouds. For long you live, and high you fly. And when at last the work is done, don't sit down it's time to dig another one. The futility of existence, the inconsequentiality of life. But only if you ride the tide, and balanced on the biggest wave, you race towards an early grave. Even success in life leads only to one end.

On the Run - Hunt

The adrenaline inducing droning. The pounding footsteps and heavy pantings. The woman over the intercom. The sound of a plane flying overhead. Something is coming, and you have been running for a long time. It ends with a plane crash, and with someone still running. Will they ever gain enough ground to stop?

Time - End

You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today. And then one day you'll find ten years have got behind you. The sun is the same in a relative way. But you're older, shorter of breath, and one day closer to death. Warm your bones beside the fire. The tolling of the iron bell brings faithful to their knees. It all ends the same way.

The Great Gig in the Sky - Desolation

The woman who screams is reminiscent of a messiah, a woman who is larger than life and designed for greatness. She screams and mourns for the simple life she could have led, if she was just a girl. Life is beautiful and painful and too short for her. And ultimately she failed. I was never frightened of dying, she says as she strings the rope around her neck, unable to be who her people needed her to be.

Money - Corruption

What is money if not Corruption incarnate? Take it and run. It's yours. It sings a sweet song to you. New day, caviar, four star, daydream, think I'll buy me a football team. Don't give me that do goody good bullshit. The promise of it digs into your brain like worms and more, more, more.

Us and Them - Slaughter

The story of war, and of senseless violence. A state that promises its people it does this for the good of all of them. Innocent men who are only doing what they're told watching as their fellow man bleeds out and dies or burns alive. War is constant and merciless.

Any Colour You Like - Web

I have no explanation for this. It came to me in a vision from God. Picture Annabelle Cane as she weaves her tapestry of silk and lies and pawns.

Brain Damage - Spiral

The lunatic is on the grass. The lunatic is in my head. There's someone in my head but it's not me. Rearrange me til I'm sane. You shout but no one seems to hear. The oddly distorted laugh.

Eclipse - Eye/Dark

The sun sees it all. All that you touch and all that you see and all that you taste. It watches over all, leering over your shoulder and leaving no room to escape. Except that the moon can block the sun, just for a little bit. And everything is in darkness. Is that any better?

#tma #the magnus archives #pink floyd #this was not necessary in the slightest #but i think pink floyd as a whole is very aligned with the fears #dark side of the moon in particular encompasses a large part of what being human is #i kinda wanted to explore that just a bit #idk maybe this is silly but i like it #i really like the visual of agnes montague as the great gig in the sky #i had a bit of trouble figuring out any colour you like especially since theres no lrics #but it feels web to me #idk #i cant explain it

I wish the ttpd aesthetic had just stuck with the obvious dark academia choice instead of doubling down on the mental hospital vibes :/

#obviously she can explore her mental health through her art but when you're presenting that art to millions it just feels like there needs #to be some awareness of what may or may not be useful imagery #like i think you can go to these dark places without incorporating electroshock therapy into your tour choreography #especially because obviously with each era the aesthetics change so it's like oh this is the crazy insane asylum era! #then next year we'll be onto like. flowers or something #all just feels a bit like hm. not entertaining more uncomfortable #talking #taylor swift
