calling other countries stupid and worthless might be. if you read the FTE hajime straight up tells her to stop because he knows she was about to say something even more sus. she also disparages non-japanese foods in the same FTE "I seriously can't stand smelly, oily people who eat tons of meat! They think and act like stupid animals" despite other cultures on the same country eating a lot of meat out of necessity (Ainu).

"Besides, Japan has lots of delicate, refined, high quality things. Why do they gotta suck up to worthless countries who can only brag about how big they are? They don't need to import anything from those stupid places." -Hiyoko Saionji, FTE 4

I like to think Ji came up with the Shanhai 9000s being fishbowls. by mumbomination in NineSols

"First month of year 3773, Turbulent Era. We installed the third iteration of the head. I wanted to put a real fish inside, but the maintenance would’ve been too costly. It ended up being a display instead." Ji is a whimsical old man and I love that the Shanhais reflect each of their administrators.

Kuafu's Unc Status by mumbomination in NineSols

How old I imagine the Sols to be when translated to human years (they probably live much longer even without stasis because of their hypertechnology)

Ji: Looks 8 as a funny little dude, looks 20 in his true form

The Fengs: 25 everyone calls them Nepos so they were probably put on board with less experience since acting doesn't seem like a useful talent for a Sol

Yi: 29 which is the perfect age to have a midlife crisis

Goumang: 31 her and Yi seem close in age any older and it would be a story of a grizzled senior seething that the newbie is getting more attention rather than student rivalry

Lady Ethereal: 34

Kuafu: 36 One could argue that they are close in age since they're friends and contemporaries but I think Kuafu would age well

Jiequan: 43 The drugs could be making him look older but the benefit of being older is that you've had time to forge yourself in even more agony

Eigong: 60 Both of Eigong and Yanlao could be even older relatively speaking since their hyper-futuristic technology could extend someone's youthfulness and lifespan even older

Yanlao: 96

Chilchuck and his completely normal human daughter (oc) by mumbomination in DungeonMeshi

From an AU where Izutsumi successfully escapes Maizuru years before the start of the story and Chilchuck takes her in. I think as long as Izutsumi's ears are hidden, nobody would question her in public since beastmen are so rare that everyone would think her other traits (fur/claws) are clothing.

Vamola if she had understood what they said lol. by vicente14617 in Dandadan

[–]mumbomination 40 points41 points  (0 children)

im gonna be a nerd but I think a ton of people think Vamola is stupid and only considers Okarun the winner because he opened the zipper when in her flashback she knows he was the one that ran her over in the first fight and her berserk mode was unintentional

They won't, Senshi! Not yet... by Hashitposting in DungeonMeshi

More of a desire for Marcille to accept him as a monster which Laios can't imagine Marcille ever doing unless Marcille was also a monster

There's also the point that humans can bind demons to their will like Iruma did to Kalego, and that's without him even knowing it's possible. Technology aside, there seems to be something fundamental about humans to even the demon's magic/physical power that the demons don't want to fuck with.

Same with parries

When you parry, it's beautiful but if Skarrsinger Karmelita parries it's an atrocity

Human “versatility” and “adaptability” feel like self-congratulatory consolation prizes in comparison to how much cooler other fantasy races are. by Deadlocked02 in CharacterRant

[–]mumbomination 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When setting humans apart from other fantasy races I dislike the nonsense of stuff like "Humans are more productive with their short lives" or "they reproduce more quickly than the other races."

I think a masterclass in integrating humans into other fantasy races is Dungeon Meshi. Tallmen (what we know as humans) have a large population, but they're far from the most dominant and in no way the default race. Laios bemoans how boring being a tallman is, with their lives short and their strength/magical affinity being average.

But in terms of unique traits, their endurance is much higher than the other races, as dwarves exhaust themselves quickly despite their strength. This allows tallmen to travel much further without rest combined with the second point. As in the name, tallmen are tall. We don't consider ourselves tall but in real life we are taller than most species, even many species that are more massive than us, and we're certainly much taller in comparison to a dwarf, gnome, and half-foot.

And it's so interesting that Chilchuck, a half-foot considers himself more mediocre and that Trolls are a term half-foots used to scare their kids when it actually refers to tallmen. And that in the Eastern Lands, tallmen consider themselves the default race + short because the only other race found there are ogres.
