i hope you've been doing well tpock! i've been a long time fan of coyote lovely specifically, but i understand life happens and inspiration leaves us. i recall you mentioning working on an original novel some years ago and looking into publishing, did anything come out of that? i'd love to read your work in any capacity you're willing to share with us!
thank you for the kind message, sheepskin!!! sorry that i am replying so late o(╥﹏╥)o
i'm doing very well and hope the same to you! i've been a ghost for a while (...several years...) bc i was lucky enough to both publish a book and get into grad school ⸜( •ᴗ• )⸝
two dreams at the same time! i have been blessed and also stressed
i have a second book coming out ~next year! sadly i don't mix my fic and original writing so i won't say too much more here, but i am ecstatic to say that after all this time coyote lovely is getting an update! (in which i hope ppl are still interested...)
okay this is dubious canon at best but the idea that all rebel pilots are constantly on stimulants does make sense to me because of well. the history of warfare. it then totally paints esb in a new light because imagine you're luke skywalker, in active withdrawal from your army-mandated uppers, and some fucking frog wizard shows up
dungeon meshi tarot cards! i'll be making these into wooden charms and stickers, maybe individual cards, too. let me know if you'd prefer sticker sheets (smaller, cheaper) or a sticker pack (larger, more expensive). i am tempted to make a full deck but that would be a very big project and expensive to produce. i'd have to kickstart it for sure, and i dont know the legalities of big scale fan projects like that. i might make more cards in the future for fun, tho!
card explanations under the cut because i did my research~
VIII Strength: Laios. Represents inner strength, courage, compassion. While he’s a decent fighter Laios’ virtue relies more on his bravery and his love for his friends. It’s not his physical power that allows him to excel but his compassion and fascination with monsters, as well as his care for the health of his friends.
I The Magician: Marcille. Represents willpower, ambition, skills, and resources. Marcille is extremely ambitious and works very hard to perfect her magic in order to achieve her goals. Everything she does in her life from learning magic to researching dungeons is in order to find a way to achieve her seemingly impossible desire of eliminating the difference in lifespans.
V The Hierophant: Chilchuck. Represents tradition, education, group identity, and conformity. As the leader of the Half-foot guild Chilchuck is a leader in his community. A lot of other half-foots look up to him as their elder or boss, and he stands up for their rights to guarantee equal payment and fair treatment.
IX The Hermit: Senshi. Represents spirituality, introspection, solitude and meditation. Senshi has lived most of his life alone in the dungeon and that solitude and closeness with the ecosystem of the dungeon has influenced his personal philosophy. He has a strong sense of himself and how it fits into the world.
II The High Priestess: Falin. Represents intuition, wisdom, mystery, and inner voice. Falin has always been deeply in tune with her intuitions and the feelings of others, even beyond the grave. She’s an extremely empathetic and emotionally intelligent person. I also chose this card because it’s right after The Magician in the major arcana and so Marcille and Falin compliment each other. Marcille is driven and ambitions to change the world to fit her desires, and Falin is much more in tune with the mystery of the world and finds peace with it, instead.
XIV Temperance: Izutsumi. Represents patience, moderation, adaption. This is a little tongue in cheek because Izutsumi is none of these things. Instead these are things that she comes to learn over the story. She is a picky eater and struggles to adapt with the party’s monster diet. She knows what she wants, she wants it now and she wants more. But as she grows up she learns that’s just not possible, she has to do things she doesn’t want to do sometimes.
VII The Chariot: Kabru. Represents determination, willpower, victory, focus. Kabru is an extremely determined person, like Marcille he has a very specific goal and everything he does is in service to that goal, to prevent another disaster like Utaya and save human lives. This is also the card before Laios’ because Strength and The Chariot are compliments; the Chariot holds the physical willpower to achieve his goals and Strength is about taming inner beasts. Kabru is the action and forward motion, while Laios is the inner curiosity and compassion that The Chariot might lack.
XIII Death: Mithrun. Represents endings, beginnings, change, transition. After his time as a dungeon lord Mithrun experiences a death of his past self and has to cope with a new beginning as a completely different person. When the Winged Lion is defeated and demons are no longer a threat to the world, he experiences another kind of death where he must again rediscover who he is and create a new purpose for himself.
Obsessed with pre-Enterprise Kirk being "grim and bookish". We have a canon back story of him ruining a guy's career by reporting a mistake because Starfleet regulations required it. He's rising through the ranks but is manifestly made unhappy by the pressures of command, as he admits to Bones in Balance of Terror.
But then so often in TOS he's this flirty heart eyes motherfucker. The only possible explanation for this change in personality is Spock? That's the major thing that's changed in his life, the presence of this weird tall alien who says absolutely wild shit with a completely straight face and makes Kirk stop taking everything so seriously
I love the tribbles episode because we see this in action. Kirk is pissed off the whole episode and then he goes to the mess hall and sees Spock petting the tribble and he almost SOBS. It's like "Ok. Bad day but everything's gonna be alright. Spock is here and he's doing his weird thing. This is my gravitational constant."
Isn't it kind of beautiful that the guy everyone thinks is unemotional is the exact person that makes Kirk step back and look at the universe with a sense of humor?
