How I think about the original design vs the more modern equivalent

I have nothing against Farcille, genuinely. But it’s been very interesting seeing that a fandom mostly defined by a femslash ship for once can get just as brainwormed about their OTP to the point of ultimately and fundamentally misunderstanding/mischaracterizing the entire thing as any other fandom dominated by mslash.

“everything in dunmeshi only happened because of marcille’s love for falin!!!!”

literally untrue. literally SO untrue in fact that you have completely misinterpreted this entire body of work, its themes, and its narratives. you in fact did that so badly you have invented an entirely different fucking piece of art.

“if marcille hadnt used the red dragon to resurrect marcille etc etc” is still even then patently untrue. the point is that laios would do anything for his sister with or without help. the point is that chilchuck would do anything for his friends despite how loudly he’d complain. the point is that izutsumi doesn’t need any of these freaks but she chooses to join them long after she realizes they can’t help her break her curse because she recognizes they need her. the point is that you can argue that SENSHI is the only reason that the entirety of dunmeshi happens because otherwise the group would be malnourished and fucked up and be no better, or even worse than, toshiro’s party.

the point is that complete strangers are drawn into resurrecting this one girl. kabru’s obsession with laios invites the canaries’ involvement. the captain of the canaries finding meaning in his relationship with kabru involves him. the empathy and kindness laios feels for the denizens of the golden kingdom has them get directly involved as well. the entire island, by the end of the manga, become directly a part of this quest to bring falin back to life, and it isnt just because marcille is in lesbians with her.

it’s because to exist, to live, is to connect and be connected to other people in an endless web of desire and need and want. to be a person means to be a person with other people, no matter how distant or detached you think you ever are. to be loved enough and known by a single person is to be loved and known by hundreds, thousands of people through the spiraling tangle of connections. the point was never and could never be “it’s because of marcille”. the point was always “it’s because everyone is in this together and the most profound connection everyone shares is the need to eat to live and live well.”

real people being partially closeted or ambiguous about their own sexuality while making Gay Art is not queerbaiting

Real people figuring out they’re queer through the process of making gay art is not queerbaiting either

#real people not telling you everything about themselves is allowed

while we’re at it, subtext in older media that legitimately could not portray the queerness they wanted to is also not queerbaiting

On a similar note, a creative team having its queer rep efforts squashed by a publisher is, also, not queerbaiting.

extremely fucked up that the only way out is through

Yeah okay ill reblog that

Dr. Greg House literally looks like this

Religious art leaves out the best part and it’s such a goddamn shame. Livestock, Agriculture and Food is an integral part of any culture and we all need to be pushing for more realistic sheep in religious art. #FATTAILSFORJESUS

“How think ye? If a man have a hundred sheep and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains and listen for the clappeth of it’s itinerant cheeks?” - Matthew 18:12, the bible

CLAPPETH….

I made this post a long time ago and never posted the follow up post, so here it is. Additional info on Fat tail sheep

Fat tailed sheep is not a single specific breed of sheep. It’s a catchall word like “Health care worker”.

There’s tons and tons of different breeds. They all store fat in their tails, but fall into two main categories: WIDE tails and LONG tails

Wide tails store fat in the rump area and have no visible tails.

Long tails store fat in the tail itself, which vary in length in different breeds. In the olden days, people took pride in breeding sheep with the longest tail. They are not so popular today as it’s hard to find a decent tail cart on Amazon.

Speaking of Tail carts, they come in different styles and designs. We dont have any that are actually preserved, but old drawing of them show different wheels harnesses.

Some of them are literally just skateboards

Back in the day, breeding sheep with long dragging tails was all the rage. Nowadays different tails types have been developed to prevent them from dragging their tails on the ground. Such as the “folded tail” or the “Only fat at the base” Tail

Despite fat tail sheep being the most common sheep breeds in the world, most people in the west have never heard of them. The West likes Wool Sheep. Fat tails are strictly meat sheep and have little useful wool. They also do poorly in colder climates

There’s a huge community of shepherds on youtube that script, choreograph and shoot elaborate videos for their sheep complete uplifting music to highlight their best qualities (for sale and stud) It is fantastic. Such as this one:

People kept bringing up Fat Bottomed Girls. Ya’ll are wrong. These are fat bottomed BOYS. Sheep are often continuously bred, so the females are constantly getting pregnant, giving birth and nursing.

That’s very hard on the body, so they can’t build up as much fat as the boys.

The fattest sheep, the ones with the truly VAST tails, rocking them little carts are ALWAYS males.

This is why the Bible specifically states that ONLY the rumps of the Males are to fit to be offered to the lord……

Picture: God desiring the tail

“And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat thereof, and the WHOLE rump” -Leviticus 3:9

I mean… look.

Arguably these are just minor details and doesnt matter….

But beyond it’s teachings the bible is also a work of literature about life in the ancient world. And on some level these kinds of small details bring a sort of richness to these depictions of real…

Ancient people bred out sheep with huge butts, took the largest sheep butts, set them on fire and prayed over the burning butt. It checks out.

How can hilarious big butt sheep have existed for millenia and escaped being well known in popular culture everywhere. They’ve gotten off scot free for too long. Meme these fools at once.

aw fuck lads who forgot to get the hollow warrior out of the basement

Many have written about how Karlach throws Astarion, well… Don't worry, no Astarions were harmed! But I can't say the same about Gortash…
