Really rotating Claudia and Callum in my mind right now.

Like, they both try to keep the people in their life from leaving. They both are willing to do things some might find unspeakable for the people they care about. Callum's Devotion description in ToX is "I value those close to me more than anyone or anything" and his Liberty description is "I'm beholden to my inner circle, not some silly kingdom."

Then you have Claudia, who decided to leave the baby dragon she thought would be the eventual destruction of humanity to save her brother (which is basically choosing those close to her over the world). You also have her trying to free a great ancient evil to save her dad (which is ALSO her choosing those close to her over the world).

We've already had Callum make the decision to use dark magic for Rayla, so here's why CHET will win-

#Mainly thinking about their respective issues with people leaving #Whether it's through death or normal means #Like hmmmm. Gotta love Callum and Claudia parallels #they are so 👌👌👌👌👌 #tdp #the dragon prince #tdp rant #Soren leaving. Rayla leaving. Harrow dying. Viren dying. Lissa leaving and never coming back. Sarai leaving and never coming back. #Dubious mage gang with abandonment issues rise up!! #Using their magic powers to save the people they care about!!!! To hold onto them!!! #Woagh!!! #But be careful. If you hold on too tight it will break!! #''I want to talk to you about life and growing up and how sometimes there are changes you don't expect.'' #*explodes dies throws up explodes again*

quietly sticks small gold star stickers on each and every one of the funny little characters i can’t stop drawing. each sticker says “special little guy” with varying levels of cartoon hearts.

#ney’s idle chatter (random textposts) #feeling sentimental ig but in a funny way #hmmmm let’s see #narry would be one of those “this is terrible” “then remove it” “no i’m keeping it forever” people probably #gaster moves the sticker around bc goop and that’s funny #stanley puts it on the bucket #engineer mark wears it like a badge of honor and “no you can’t have it” #kim and harry both get one and they stick them on their clipboards #undertale characters are a lot to list but they all get one too #love those guys #… *quietly squints at the resurfacing underfell phase*…. #no. not Yet. #*sweating* #dark would throw it away :( but it would randomly reappear with wilford logic #wilford gets one and it stays forever. probably on the gun. #did i miss any? #i don’t even draw all of these a lot but they’re special little guys okay? #addition: gaster does magic tricks. uses the star like a randomly appearing coin #fantastic

Actually did something like this myself a while back, but I'm curious how difficult the result would be! These are the cards I was given.

hmmmm. botanist haruka studying plants, travels around a lot writing down observations. gardener shizuku and an. (yuri perhaps?) i’m struggling to figure out how to include tsukasa though ngl.

#asks #hmmmm theres also like. a magic route i could go down #some kind of thing where shizuku’s a lonely caretaker of a home to all those plants? #maybe a kind of curse. or like a fated thing. like rapunzel and her tower but. confined by magic specifically. #houses a specific kind of flower (which ties to tsukasa somehow. again like rapunzel with the sun flower thingy) #and again. botanist haruka. #but then idk how to tie an into it…. #i do like the fantasy one more though ngl idk why im rambling about it in the tags instead of the main post kdlfjshjfdkf

mmmm thinking about... every element having a variety of expressions. thinking about an aesthetic of handedness, w/ certain expressions of each element being sinister and others being dexter, while the "root" of it can be used with either. this is also me thinking abt the aesthetics of mages having physical signs of their magic use, that grow and deepen as they become more proficient in casting. marks on their hands and arms. this would probably be agnostic to the mage's usual dominant hand, or maybe it's even that a right-handed mage who focuses mostly on sinister magic will become left-handed over time. ambidexterity is almost as rare in magic as it is irl, since it's usually difficult to be truly equally good at both kinds.

this is working backwards from the typical positioning of the twins wrt each other but i think dexter magic tends to be predominantly active, easily weaponized, very direct. conversely sinister magic is gentler, more easily used subtly for healing or manipulation. or possibly it's the other way round! i'm thinking of it as them casting with their 'free' hand since emmet seems to generally stand to ingo's right, but the thing is they do quite a lot, maybe even most? of their gesturing with the hand closest to the other, so it might be the inverse.

i also do really like the "one giant adventuring party" idea i pitched a lil while ago bc i think that's fun. with protag as the sort of nominal party leader, who is in a sort of weird position of being a very powerful mage who has no idea how to do magic. it's immediately visible from looking at them bc both arms are covered in glowing rainbow swirls, suggesting near-perfect ambidexterity in apparently every magical class, but every time they cast a new spell they're just as surprised by it as everyone else. and their giant party of mostly mages and then 1 or 2 physical fighters (someone pls help me balance teamcomp my squad is dying) is also there trying to help them learn how to actually. do magic not by accident.

#the nemesis speaks #pokefic pitch #thoughts. thoughts thoughts thoughts #whkwhw i just really like... aus like this. idk. worldbuilding brain go brrrr #and i think magic handedness is a fun concept #and then i get to think about what element/type of magic everyone else uses... mmmm #i think it would be fun if adaman was one of the few nonmages or like. he does time magic technically but he's VERY bad at it #to continue with the idea that he has like. no aptitude for the spiritual side of leadership whatsoever #maybe you can also be like a battlemage style fighter caster and cyllene's that. i do like that #with her being protag's first ever tutor #meanwhile protag counterpart... hmmmm. not sure what their deal is yet #ley lines au

Ok big total spoilers for dungeon meishi here, up through the end of the manga, but i have some thoughts

I don't dislike where it went with the concept of the demon, but i feel like it would have been more satisfying (to me) if they'd kept the scope dialed back a few notches?

There's a lot of interesting groundwork being laid for the dungeon itself as a thing that consumes: the dungeon-as-mouth imagery; the way it fulfills and feeds on people's desires - sometimes providing adventurers with exactly what they seek, growing more powerful with more treasure and stronger monsters as the number of adventurers reaches a tipping point; adventurers being eaten by monsters, etc. As an ecosystem cut off from sunlight, the dungeon has two energy sources feeding its foodweb: mana leaking in from the other dimension, and the energy brought down by adventures. There's a lot of interesting dynamic push and pull between those sources, where hypothetically the mana is an infinite source of energy and provides a surplus of production which adventurers harvest and bring up to the surface world - but the flow of mana into the world requires a pull from people's desires and wishes, which in turn are consumed by the dungeon. So who is feeding on who?

And then there's a concept tossed around of whether it would be possible to tame a dungeon - Marcille at some point states this as her goal, maintaining a dungeon in which monsters with beneficial attributes are kept without risk to humans. Her vision is very tidied-up and controlled, a farmed system, but a somewhat parallel desire is expressed by others who want the dungeon to continue indefinitely in a stable state: Senshi, the orcs, Laios.

But as we learn more about the dungeon's need to consume, this possibility slips out of reach. As long as there's more treasure to be found, the number of adventurers increases and the dungeon bloats on their desires - and when the treasure runs out, the adventurers leave and the dungeon starves. There's no stable equilibrium point to be found. Is this because the flows of energy into and out of the dungeon don't form a closed loop? There's no return of energy from the dungeon's wish-granting to the dungeon ecosystem, only the wishes consumed by the demon.

For that matter, what happens to the mana that flows into the world? Is the level of mana increasing indefinitely? Is there anything in the world that consumes it for good? It's at least implied, if not stated directly, that modern magic relies on gathering up and directing mana - whereas ancient magic involves pulling power directly from the other dimension. But it doesn't seem like mana is actually destroyed by its use in magic - at most, it's converted into other forms of energy, like heat. Which is still an energy sink problem on a global scale. (See: fossil fuels)

I think it could've been really cool to explore dungeons as both a source and sink of mana. Maybe if the demon's consumption of desires removed some form of energy from the world back to the other dimension? Maybe if some other aspect of the dungeon served to digest mana in a way that doesn't happen on the surface? Maybe if dungeons naturally accumulated mana and were involved in its global cycles of circulation, and the problem of bloating and crashing could be solved by cutting off the flow of mana from the other dimension?

Any of these could have involved grappling with the desire-eating demon in various ways, whether its an evil you have to live with to maintain the flow or mana and have to learn to manage, or whether it's a parasite feeding on the flow, or whether it's the cause of an energy leak that needs to be closed.

And there could be something there also with the unbearable burden of trying to manually control the entire dungeon system through one person, and the need to decentralize that control into one of ecosystem processes and collective management for the dungeon to become sustainable.

In contrast to that, the narrative turns away from the implication that the dungeon is feeding on the desires of all adventurers, and focuses on the flow of mana and desires through the dungeon master. And all the demons turn out to be aspects of one enormous consciousness - not just strange monsters cultivating burrows in which to feed, but something on the scale of a god. And so, while it's still very much dealing with themes of desires and consumption and balance and decay, it's doing so on a very abstracted, fantasy-epic scale.

Which is fine if that's your thing! But I think it'd have been neat if we got messy, farm-collective dungeon management challenges, rather than an eat-god-and-become-king type of resolution.

#dungeon meshi #dungeon meishi spoilers #big long fandom meta post time #Anyway *shakes fist* if you wanna talk about magic ecosystem trophic levels you should follow through! in my opinion! #I mean you don't have to but I want to read that shit! #Also now that I think about it the comparison of ancient magic to fossil fuels is. Hm. HMMMM. #Could lean into that one also. #(And yes I know that energy dissipation isn't directly actually the problem with fossil fuels but also - #thermodynamics never lets you get away with that type of shit. even if it wasn't for the greenhouse effect it'd be Something.) #(the first rule of thermodynamics is you can't win against thermodynamics.)
