Wouldn't link zelda sidon & yona be more like a Z than a W? Since there's only four of them? W makes me think there are 5 people in the relationship not four. Not that it matters that much, I was just trying to picture who was at which point and realized W would have 5 people

Oh wait that makes sense ur onto smth.... Z or a N could work but Z is just more fun to say.

tag ur polycule are u a triangle, a square, a V, a W or a Z? or maybe smth else entirely....

[powerpolyculeshowdown]

i guess link zelda sidon yona would be like a W dynamic lol

maybe!! hsjsh i was thinking about that recently actually, if W polycules were a thing??? Cause it makes sense, right? ive never seen the term used but it makes sense!!

HI SO-

I've been watching Ducktales 2017 recently AND I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE CLIMAX OF "THE TOWN WHERE EVERYONE WAS NICE" SO-

basically the whole A plot is that Donald is nervous bc Panchito and Jose seem to be incredibly successful while he is not so he pretends that he inherited Scrooge's money and is now a billionaire.

The lie goes so far that they are planning to bring back the three caballeros (in this ver is their college band) BUT ofc you can't lie forever and he is forced to admit that he is smooching off Scrooge lol

BUT then we learn that Jose is also lying, he isn't the manager of a travel agency he is a flight attendant! And Panchito is not a super popular musician with thousands of shows, he mainly performs at birthday parties!

Ofc they all forgive each other and sing and all is well BUT THEY ALL LIED TO EACH OTHER NOT ONLY TO IMPRESS THEM BUT ALSO BC THEY THOUGHT THAT THE OTHERS WHERE ACTUALLY SUCCESSFUL

Anyway something something gay birds

(next time I'll come rambling Abt robot dreams bc I have most of my thoughts in a somewhat comprehensive note)

those damn gay birds strike again!!!!!!!! i love them 💖

Idk if you know but Izutsumi is actually 17. It's not stated in canon but it's in the adventures guide so

oh huh i had no idea... i know falin must be 20 cause laios said hes 23 and im p sure they are 3 years apart, and laios said tallmen/humans however u wanna call them reach adulthood at 16 but idk if he meant his country or the race as a whole, so im not sure if that makes izutsumi a minor or not? also idk if it changes due to her being beastkin?

i mean ofc from our perspective she would be, but this is a fantasy setting w different ages of maturity, for example chilchuck said halflings reach adulthood at 14, due to their shorter lifespans, im just curious if for izutsumi adulthood would also be 16 like laios or if maybe eastern standards in the world of dunmeshi is different?

If it's the same, while she's not a minor that is still a three year age gap for izutsumi and falin, with izutsumi barely being an adult, add to that the fact idk how old marcille is or when she wouldve reached adulthood, i can see ur concern.

ill leave them out due to the blurred lines there, but in general i think its important to remember fantasy people dont necessarily age the same way we do, if beastkin age anywhere as fast as halflings, at 17 izutsumi would be older than a 17y/o tallman. thats all hypothetical ofc, and not really an attempt to justify the age difference, more so genuine curiosity about how ages work for her since idk if thats established? im still shocked a 29y/o halfling is old enough to have 3 adult kids for example, but then again they live an average of 50 years so it makes sense? I think the differences are really interesting! because despite only being 6 years apart, chilchuck is inherently a lot older than laios due to their racial traits and customs. Laios is a young adult and chilchuck is more like a middle aged man. Meanwhile, to Senshi and Marcille, 29 sounds like a baby, which means a 29y/o elf or dwarf would probaably be perceived by their own race as younger than even laios is to other tallmen, if that makes sense? at 30 smth senshi was treated like a kid by an older dwarf, maybe thats equivalent to their teens?

Now im just rambling though, i know that's not what the ask was about, it just had me wondering. In a context like this age can be more than a number due to racial traits and lifespans, but since izutsumi is probably closer to a human and idk if beastkin age differently or not, i'd agree that shes quite young especially compared to marcille who's probably a bit older than falin herself (well shes a lot older by literal decades but i imagine only a bit older if you consider elves probably reach adulthood a lot later which likely means marcille is a young adult herself?)

i also havent finished the manga so its difficult to form more concrete opinions on the matter but i hope i explained myself well? i do very much think a 17 year old in real life is a child, i was just rambling about this fantasy world and wondering how different things might be. if their 16 is our 18 then their 17 is our 19 and their 20 is our 22. I dont remember how mature I was at 19 but as a 22y/o i dont think id have felt comfortable dating someone 3 years younger personally? i still dont tbh

oh wow i scrolled back and realized i rambled too much im sorry about that its just my brain is full of dunmeshi!! still, let me know if i misunderstood the age mechanics of this story! Regardless, ill leave them out, thanks for letting me know!

the lineup for the self indulgent poll is another reminder that i need to get around to watching drawtectives (I'm a huuuge drawfee fan but i don't have the commitment for drawtectives and i really need to get around to it eventually)

Yess i love drawtectives so much they're my lil guys!!!! i oove drawfee content in general but drawtectives is extra cosy to me its very much a big comfort media, they're so silly!!

that said just to clarify i personally see the polycule as queerplatonic, not romantic! Some people ship them romantically, I think, ehile in canon they are only described as friends but their dynamic just feels like smth very special that idt romance or friendship quite describe, and what i've learned about queerplatonic partnerships seems to fit them!

As a side note to that, for anyone who might disagree we had a whole conversation about whether or not qpps can be considered polycules and a majority of the ppl who identify w the term, including aro people who also id as polyamorous, agreed that yes, it does. So they're in 💖
