dumb GAY little redraw of the even dumber GAYER meme i made

something i've noted about Daya which is essentially impossible to notice without looking at Ryoko Kui's side art- when she's not dungeon-ing, she shows a preference for dresses and, dare i say, has "girly" tastes. it's more apparent in the "modern" drawings and special illustrations but even in the side art taking place "in canon" (ex: the green dress with a belt) that seems to be so. even in the themed special illustrations she'll typically have some extra details in her outfit- for the Santa illustration, she gets those pom-poms on her shoes and those lacy gloves, for the Daydream Hour cover, she gets those ruffled long bloomers (not sure if this is the right phrase for that lol)

this one might be stretching it but even here you can see her outfit has details Namari's doesn't (the little bows, the ruffled hem and sleeves)

as i said, from the main series alone you probably wouldn't be able to pick up on this... with one exception. during the Treasure Bugs segment, Kabru's party is excited to find the box of "treasure," but specifically for its monetary value

(even Rin's rare show of excitement is later clarified as a desire for cash lol)

but poor Daya really did just want the necklace

what do you think about the weird little comment Daya has about how she doesn't like DWARVEN drinking places? i kind of took it as her having some really complicated feelings about her own race due to her backstory, but looking at other materials about her, i don't know if i'm reading too much into it. besides the drinking comment, the closest thing i found supporting that reading is her negative impression of Namari but she's only one person. do you have any thoughts?

Thought on this ask for a while and I still don't have a completely certain answer but

The best explanation I have is that she's not allowed in dwarven drinking places, or even dwarven establishments in general.

"You can't buy anything" is a pretty broad statement, but I think in this context it means getting turned down service trying to buy from any place ran by dwarves? If any dwarven drinking place she goes to just straight up won't let her buy anything (and presumably is also pretty harsh about it, considering the "no mercy" thing), then it makes sense why she wouldn't like them that much.

Maybe it's just the low quality but is she making a kissy face here..........

a very small percent of people wanted this collage which is a real shame! i think we all need to appreciate Dia more, this is a Dia appreciation post!

[boar-meat]

do you think that, as Daya experienced the feeling of her windpipe being crushed by Faligon- the laughable helplessness, the sensation of her lungs burning for air that would not and could not come- she had a thought along the lines of "god fucking dammit, not again"

[boar-meat]

So this shapeshifter was probably Mickbell's memory, right?

Look at their heights. Mickbell is the only party member shorter than Daya, about a head below her. To look at her, he has to look up, so maybe he can see her eyes under her bangs?? And apparently they're so striking to him that they're visible in his memory of her lmao

Wait do u have the ch # for Dia not liking/distrusting Namari?

yes! it's in Sea Serpent II (chapter 32)
