Sailor!! Do you keep in contact with your crew much?

"I stay in contact where possible." "Of course, I'm usually out on the water, so we're around each other more often that not."

"I work with a few different crews though, so I can go months without hearing from anyone." "Outside of work… Well, it's pretty common to go out for drinks." "But if I'm not around…"

"I'm always on call."

I'm rewatching the episodes in French and Dathura hasn't made a reappearance has she? She just up and vanished.

Sorry to keep you waiting. First I had to take some screenshots and then my laptop's battery was always on the verge of giving out, so I couldn't just sit down and answer sooner.

But honestly, yeah! I actually wanted to point that out too!

Compared to the rest of the Brotherhood of the Forgotten, Dathura's disappearance is just plain weird. I watched an interview where Tot revealed that, unlike what the Kickstarter trailer might suggest, the demigods wouldn't really play a major role in season 4. And honestly, that's fair. Given the show is about the Brotherhood or the Tofu and, more importantly, they had just learned their purpose in life ended up being their being manipulated by a megalomaniac with daddy issues, realistically, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with action for a while either.

There's of course the fact that each of them asked to be sent to completely different locations and had very different goals. For example, Coqueline, Kali, and Sipho just wanted to pick up the pieces of what Oropo and especially Echo started and live as a family. And despite both of them ending up in Bonta, Ush wanted nothing to do with Black Bump.

Which makes Dathura's disappearance from the main plot all that weirder. Because she is about the only demigoddes who has any business participating in the main plot by virtue of her actually being there.

Seriously, once again, the Sadida Kingdom is at the very centre of everything. They're the Nécromes main, or at least first, target. And yet, there is no sign of Dathura helping out as the powerful demigoddess she is despite her accepting Amalia's invitation to live in the kingdom and even going as far as remaining by her side the entirety of the third episode.

She was never even introduced to Armand and Aurora despite both of them being there when Amalia returned with her. Made all the more jarring by the fact that she remained by the princess' side even as she mourned her father's death and the next day (?) she just...vanishes with no explanation?

Seriously, out of all of the members of the Forgotten, the two with the most reason to have a bigger role in season 4 are Dathura and Ush. The former because she is supposed to be living there at the time of the Nécromes' attack, and the latter because he was the one who informed Joris of what was going on.

In Ush's case I can understand he decides to stay on the sidelines since he isn't exactly a hero, he mostly just does his own thing. But Dathura's disappearance can be very jarring.

What, did she awkwardly leave Amalia to mourn her father while she went to check in on Ogrest?

Oh, well. The season's been great so far and I don't really have any trouble with this. It's just weird, it's all.

hi any life advice for 21yo

Don't date thirty-year-olds until you are at least 25.

Having a glass of water for every glass of alcohol will give you a 50% reduction in hangover viciousness.

Bad people will use your willingness to be quiet as a weapon against you. If someone's being awful to you and trusting you'll be quiet to keep from making waves, surprise them.

There is no physical object in the world that is worth as much as your honor.

Honor is not the same as dignity. Retaining one sometimes means leaving the other aside.

Don't have any sex you don't want to have; have as much as you want of the sex that you do, whether that's a lot, a little, or none at all. Nothing you can do to your own body is immoral, unless you're doing it as an act of self-punishment.

Food is morally neutral. You do not have to earn the right to eat calories. Fat and sugar keep your brain from eating itself.

Learning to sit still and breathe--in, in, in, hold, hold, hold, out, out, out, out, out, out--can give you five feet of clear space around yourself in a maelstrom.

Find out how to make three good meals: A comfort meal you can make for just yourself relatively easily, a fancy meal you can use to wow a date, and a meal you can feed a bunch of people. All the other cooking can come later, but you can build a community on those three meals.

If you ever get to the point that things are so bleak you can see no other way forward but to die, make any other choice. If that means leaving everything you own and being a beach bum, or quitting your career, or taking up or leaving a religion, or deciding to bicycle across the country, so be it; living means more chances, dying means everything stops and you don't get to see any more interesting things. As you have not yet seen all the things that can interest you, it is better to live.

I didn’t read chapter 2 of “The Doll and the Dragon” yet but I just wanted to say how good it felt to have been notified that you updated it today!

I only read the summary for the second chapter but I don’t blame some of the council members for having some doubts on what the gods’ intentions are. Or rather doubts of her existence.

Because there’s a very good reason that can pop up in the primordials’ minds to think that she might be a problem for them.

Let’s look at it from a Twelvian’s perspective on the matter :

The gods are the divinities that we treasure and pray to. We have been doing this since the dawn of time and we all believe nothing, absolutely nothing, can beat them let alone make them quiver.

So when a random race from outer space decides to land on the World of Twelve, we all learn that this race is not only far advanced in technology, but it is also composed of six demigods, each with a dragon sibling, acting as a council with their king.

We are understandably terrified by the amount of power they have so we pray for the gods to help us get rid of our peculiar but frightening problem.

Days pass and we eventually learn that our divinities, instead of kicking the eliatropes as we have demanded, decided to give these eliatropes a Sadida doll as a peace offer to get along.

Why would the gods do this? Can’t they just kick them out? The gods should be stronger than some demigods and dragons so why would they just let them stay?

Are they also afraid? No that’s impossible, they can’t be! Unless they know something that we don’t know?

If the gods decided to appease the eliatropes instead of answering our prayers then we should fear the eliatropes even more.

The gods have been genuine on their offer but what really counts is the twelvians’ reactions to it.

A lot of them just want the eliatropes gone so if the people learn that the gods have offered these eliatropes a Sadida doll, they might see this action as a peace offering. This would make the Twelvians assume that the gods, the most powerful beings in the krosmoz, are scared and don’t want trouble with the eliatropes so instead of trying to kick them out, they simply try to get along.

Hiya!!

First of all, don't worry! Read at your own pace/when you have time!

As an enjoyer of long chapters as well as a provider, I understand not all stories can be done with in a matter of minutes. In my personal experience, it usually takes me up to an hour to read a 10k words long fic and about two to read a 20k words long one. It's okay.

But thank you so much for the enthusiasm and insight as well! It's always such a pleasure to be able to notify someone of a new chapter.

(It also blows up my notes lol)

As for your ask, while I must admit I have yet to give much thought to the Twelvians' reaction to Amalia (since, despite its interconnected nature, technically speaking, each chapter is a one-shot instead of an actual chapter aiming to build a whole, collective narrative), there are definitely people who're more accepting of her, and people who're more wary of her presence.

After all, it's a bit like you said. As far as we know, the gods' intentions are simply to make sure the Eliatropes don't feel the need to attack their followers, while said followers are supposed to relax and read Amalia's existence as a sign that there's nothing to fear.

Because if the gods are chill enough with entrusting one of their own to these new visitors, then surely that means everything's okay, right?

But still, the whole thing is also super weird. I mean, the gods have gone centuries, maybe even millennia, without creating a new Divine Doll and when they finally do is to hand her over to the Eliatropes? I dunno, it's all kinda sus.

Of course, there's also the Eliatropes' point of view on the whole thing.

In their case, their reasons for being wary are more of a "What are you up to?" kind of thing. After all, they've been on the World of Twelve for months, their presence has clearly caused a lot of commotion among the gods' followers, and yet the gods spent months completely radio silent until, one day, without warning, completely out of the blue, they send a Divine Doll to their doorstep as a bride to their king????

It all reeks of the gods having ulterior motives behind their "generosity".

The only question is, is Amalia aware of said ulterior motives? Or is she just a pawn to an overly-complicated, high-stakes game of chess?

While I mostly want to focus on the fluffy aspects and Yumalia's development, it's also true Wakfu's own nature as a show and all the lore surrounding it also call for quite a bit of drama. So I'll have to see how I navigate it all and what decisions I want to take when writing the narrative.

Thank you so much for this mini-analysis! Hope you enjoy chapter 2!!
