#TallMen

[dunmeshistash]

Are dwarves dying earlier than gnomes for lifestyle reasons? (Since they reach maturity at the same time) I think all the dwarves mentioned are heavy drinkers and seem to live rougher lives? I just know dwarves are often presented as embodiments of masculinity and men statistically tend to do dumb things like drinking too much and not going to the doctor until it's too late, resulting in a lower life expectancy.

My assumption was rather than dwarves "living less" gnomes lived longer because they seem to be more easy going and in general lead a more "natural" lifestyle.

Dungeon meshi has a relatively young life expectancy, like how tallmen who supposedly are like humans live on average only 60 years. Elves on the other hand if you use the divided by 5 formula they give us live to be the equivalent of 80 I assume because they are more privileged in general.

I've seen dwarf and gnome ages be calculated by dividing by 2.5 but I forgot what the logic was (I think their age of maturity?). In the manga the hint we get is that Laios who is in his mid twenties looks "about 60" for a dwarf, going with the 2.5 that's about right (26*2.5 = 65) so I'll use that since it's an easier number to calculate than an exact equivalence of 26 to 60 (Math is hard)

Dwarves live to be 200 so 200/2.5 they live to be the equivalent of 80 like elves while gnomes live on average 240/2.5 the equivalent of 96 in tallmen years

So all long lived races live longer than short lived races even if you translate their ages and gnomes live even longer than the other long lived races because of their chill lifestyle (I assume)

kui is literally so brilliant at well-thought-out anatomy and character design I could just study it all day

Take a look at this Incredibly tall Venezuelan guy, he plays basketball for his national team at the age of just 20! He makes everyone look so tiny I wish I knew how big his feet are. H: 221cm / 7’3

I just watched Tall Men (2016)

Did anyone else notice that seemingly one of the first things they did after bringing Thistle into the kingdom was cut his hair short?

And given what Marcille says about how important hair is to magic…. That’s probably not a coincidence.

a BIG part of the lore of Dungeon Meshi is how ageism is bad. About how the long lived races treat the young lived races like children and thus infantilize them and do not show them the respect and understanding they deserve simply because of their looks or short life spans. Whether its because to them they look like children in their eyes (like half foots and gnomes) or because the adult ages of the younger lived races are still in the child ages for the longer lived ones and so they get treated/viewed as children (we see otta receive comments about getting with minors when in reality she dated adult half foot women. so we already see this view towards things like this are a thing in the lore) We see this with chilchuck, senshi, and marcille where the two later view chilchuck as a child and treat him like one even though he is a full grown man who drinks (and is supposed to have grey hairs) all because he looks young and in the newest episode its revealed he is 29 which is still young children to the two of them. We see how perspectives that characters are children because of their age being a childs age for a different race as opposed to their race or because they look like children is a completely infantilizing and disrespectful behavior that causes so many problems in the long run. a theme that is completely flying over the average tumblr users head.

ive seen people get furious at other people because they sexualize chilchuck and even marcille

“oh they look like kids so dont do that you freak”

you absolute fool you missed a major theme of the fucking story. But because they look young suddenly they are children? have you paid no attention to the story? did you just ignore how the ageisim and weird mindset about ages like that causes so many issues that could easily have been avoided. and as for the age one i see people getting furious at others for being into and sexualizing izutsumi even though she is a year past adult in tall man years, but because she isnt in the adult age range in real life (wild your applying real life society standards to a fictional medieval fantasy world). even though even in lore she would be well an adult able to get married and everything tumblr really does have the media literacy of a toddler.

There’s something so viscerally sad about Thistle devoting his whole life body and soul to the family who bought him and put him in a clown costume

NOT MARCILLE THINKING LAOIS WOULD BE A BISHIE TWINK BEFORE MEETING HIM 😭

[britcision]

I’ll dig it up later for y’all if you like but there’s an extremely funny comic in the Adventurer’s Bible that is definitely tongue-in-cheek funny about half-foots

And it’s the one about why they’re called that, the elves saw their footprints and went “yeah that sounds right”

Chilchuck is explaining it to Laios and then calls it fucking bullshit because “why should we be described relative to someone else you should be called double-foots”

He says

To Laios

The tall-man

Tall relative to who Chilchuck
