something interesting about dungeon meshi's worldbuilding: the elf-tallman hybrids that we see are referred to as "half-elves" rather than "half-tallmen"

hell, they're oftentimes just called "elves" by other characters.

in the case of laios's party not knowing marcille was a half-elf, it's explained that they just didn't know she wasn't a full elf. which makes sense, none of them pay enough attention to that kind of thing, or know enough about elves to know that certain features like rounded ear tips are highly unusual for full-elves. 

but it's more interesting in the case of kabru's party. kabru, who is super observant and was also raised by elves, describes both marcille and fionil (who are both canonically half-elves) simply as "elves". kuro also simply identifies marcille's scent as "elf", despite half-elves probably having slightly different scents than full-elves.

and! even word-of-god type material casually lumps marcille and fionil in with elves, rather than lumping them in with tallmen or giving them their own half-elf category

is this a case of hyperdescent (or hypodescent, depending on if elves are thought of as higher or lower status than tallmen in a given culture)? is it just that half-elves tend to be more similar to elves than to tallmen in matters like lifespan?

of course, our sample size is literally 2 and we know so little about fionil, it's hard to know for sure or rule out other factors.

SIDENOTE:

what is this random character from the elf page's deal? their rounded ear tips definitely look like they're a half-elf, but their facial features and size and ear shape makes me think their other half is half-foot, rather than tallman (...or maybe they're just a kid, lol). the adventurer's bible does say that tallmen can have fertile offspring with half-foots, and we know that tallmen can have infertile offspring with elves. so it would kinda make sense if half-foots could have infertile offspring with elves too.

Making the kind of merch I couldn't even dream about making/having because I wasn't at that level of Arting yet and I also didn't know shit about fuck when it came to fan merch existing. Also I was a mostly broke college kid back then with a lot less power and confidence. Might've taken over a decade to get to this point, but better late than never!

Thinking of offering this sticker/acrylic charm design as a limited thing but I guess we'll see what happens once i finish hammering out the final Dinluke sticker design, getting my final test prints/charms in, and setting up shop for pre-orders. I'm terribly slow but at least something is happening.... right?
