dungeon meshi for the ask meme?
I was actually a bit cool on the show when I tried the first couple of episode, but in this one case I'm actually incredibly glad I succumbed to internet peer pressure - it actually does get good after you've invested a couple hours into it! The main cast all have really strong dynamics with each other, and also each of them is separately incredibly unwell.
I am annoyed I can't say 'Marcille is right about everything' but like, she is 100% right about specifically all the cautionary tale hubris dark magic stuff. .
#def. one of the shows where the fandom seems to be in the process of collectively hallucinating an entirely different series as it airs tho#reply#chahaa-piun-ja#reverse unpopular opinion

🌥️for the wip ask game, please!
Thank you for the ask!
🌤️Share your favorite piece of dialogue from your WIP.
So, this ask made me realize I almost never write long dialogues, and none of my wips appear to have coversations longer than four lines except one. So, you get the Apollo-Hyacinthus wip dialogue :D
“I brought food,” he declared, all former signs of confusion gone. “You liked our bread last time, so here’s more for you!”
With that, Hyacinthus ripped open the packet, pulled out a concerningly long knife from his belt, cut a hunk of fragrant bread and offered it to him.
Apollo stared. He could not even bring himself be offended at the lack of manners, or the fact that Hyacinthus had not washed his hands. When he made no move to take it from him, the prince shoved the loaf into his lap and returned to rummaging his pack.
“I also brought olive oil…” he muttered, “where did it go?”
Apollo held out the previously discarded jar. “Is it this one?”
“Oooh yes!”
Hyacinthus wrenched open the lid, dipped his bread right into the viscous liquid, which lapped precariously at the sides, and to Apollo’s growing consternation, smeared the entirety of his chin trying to stuff food into his mouth.
“Wuff?” he demanded, mouth full and spraying a couple of crumbs.
Apollo broke his piece into a manageable size, picked out a smattering of oil from the sides, and then, like a civilized person, drizzled the golden treasure within the bread and put it in his mouth. Hyacinthus watched him, amused, as he chewed slowly and quietly, with his mouth closed.
Not immune to his silent judgement, the prince opened his mouth to speak, and Apollo winced.
“I pray you, Your Highness,” he said, swallowing hastily. “It is a sad day a meal must wait till the end of a speech to be consumed. I am right here, and so I shall remain until you have appropriately chastised me for whatever folly I may have committed.”
Hyacinthus burst out laughing, then choked, hunching over himself with trembling shoulders. Apollo hesitated only for a moment, before he reached out to rub his back.
“There, there,” he murmured soothingly; all the while power erupted from his fingertips, easing out the prince’s breaths. “This is why you should not speak while eating.”
Hyacinthus groaned, swallowed heavily, and straightened. “Please, you sound like my mother.”
“Her Majesty is a wise woman.”
“That she is. But dining with good company is an act of wanton joy, and should be treated as such.”
Apollo was not sure if this counted as dining, but Spartan sensibilities were strange, and perhaps he was somewhat flattered at being labelled good company by such a handsome man – not that anyone would dare say otherwise.
Apollo stroked his back a few more times – it was not strictly necessary, but he liked feeling helpful, then realised he was just smearing the oil.
“I fear I have made you sticky, Your Highness.”
Hyacinthus laughed again. It was a beautiful sound, open and free, like Aphrodite’s doves being released to the sky.
“Don’t worry, we will go wash up, since you are such a clean freak. Yes, I saw your face when I broke the bread. The Eurotas is not far from here. Meanwhile, finish your food and I shall finish mine; I stole these from the kitchens and will not allow my efforts to be wasted.”
Apollo obeyed, and then feeling rather caught, added stiffly, “I did not mean to offend, Your Highness. It is only that unclean hands bring many ills.”
“Oh?” Hyacinthus’s eyes twinkled. “Do I perhaps have the pleasure of speaking to a healer?”
“Yes, actually.”
Hyacinthus gaped at him, and at once Apollo regretted running his mouth. This was why he had so far chosen to remain remote and distant. Churlishness was a far simpler accusation than whatever would be hurled at him now, for whoever had heard of a healer who sat among cows?
Sure enough, he was not spared the interrogation.
“What are you doing herding cattle when you could be healing? Are you a slave? Does your master not allow you to practice your craft?”
“No.” Apollo graciously refrained from commenting on Hyacinthus’s manners. “I just like cows.”
“And not people?” Hyacinthus cast his bread aside and sat up, looking at him incredulously. “Are you an outcast from a temple of Apollo?”
“What? No!” Apollo was so outraged that for a moment he considered telling the impudent prince exactly who he was. An outcast from his own temple – blessed Titans! What nefarious conspiracies the human mind could cook up!
#to be clear hyacinthus is not actually without manners#he is just acting out because apollo is not paying him any attention. this is him trying to flirt. it's... a work in progress#because he realized from day 1 that there are a bunch of things this new weird herdsman was uptight about#this is day 2 and he's down bad. so much so that he's bugging apollo even though he doesn't even know his name#apollo is trying very hard to ignore him but he is so polite he ends up carrying on half the conversation all by himself#apollo#apollo x hyacinthus#hyacinthus#greek gods#greek mythology#boo writes#ask game#asks#answered#chahaa-piun-ja

I'm so curious about 'orb story'. It's so intriguing
@consolecadet asked: I must of course ask about #29, orb story!
Hah thank you! you both had the same idea.
This is an original concept that came from the idea "cyberpunk-ish future where body-mods are treated like tattoos." There are trendy ones, little ones, common ones, classy ones, cliche ones, but also really bold weird ones that will get you stared at and your parents will be judgy about.
The opening image came to me fully formed:
“I am going to become,” Florence said, as she flopped down onto the crappy couch, “an orb.” “Don’t become an orb,” Rose answered, not even bothering to look away from the kitchenette sink and interrupt the necessary job of washing her dishes. Florence rolled over. Her glittering bronze-scaled tail caught on the fraying couch fibers. “I can become an orb if I want. You can’t stop me.” “An orb doesn’t have hands and can’t help do the dishes when they sit in the sink all day.” “An orb doesn’t eat and doesn’t make dirty dishes. I still win.” Florence couldn’t actually see Rose’s expression, on account of Rose being over in the attached kitchenette and Florence’s face being smushed into a throw pillow with a cartoon spider in a witch hat on it because Halloween decorations were year-round décor for the truly cultured, but she could still tell Rose was rolling her eyes. “It wouldn’t actually be fun to be an orb.” Rose placed her bowl in the drying rack with a neat clink. “You already complain about not having enough hands, and orbs have even fewer hands than bio-humans. When people change the number of hands they have, they usually go for mods that give them more hands, not fewer.” “Wow, look at you. Fewer. English major. Besides,” and Florence pulled herself into a sitting position, hunching forward so her swept-back horns wouldn’t deepen the gouge on the wall where they always ended up landing, “why are you so fired up about hands?” “They’re handy,” Rose said. Florence threw the spider pillow at her. It fell with a soft flump far short of the target of Rose’s face.
... but I was never able to decide how to end it. Does Florence become an orb? The current draft has her desire to go full transhumanist and upload her brain into a floating mechanical orb stemming from an uncomfortable interaction at work, that an orb wouldn't have to deal with. Because also Florence is aroace and the whole feeling of being embodied in a human body is one she has overall weird feelings about! But I can't decide whether becoming an orb or not becoming an orb is a more satisfying ending. Or something in between. Also what the primary conflict is. That's why this one stalled out. I'm charmed by the world, though.
Rose has cat ears (this is a very normie bodymod) and is trans (another type of body modification that's considered relatively tame in this future because it's all basic human bio stuff). They also have a third roommate Xerxes who has weird lizardy eyes, because "eye stuff is trendy again." They are all just... queer twentysomethings out of college working unimpressive jobs and dying their hair and getting bodymods.

what hells would kim dokja (omniscient readers viewpoint) go to? his crimes include killing people, lying, cheating, and being a little bitch
I am familiar with Kim Dokja so I am going to go ahead and make certain assumptions for him as well when assigning hells. Not that a lot of the 'sins' punished aren't actually crimes so taking some of his general traits also which will condemn him to a subhell.
Raurava/dreadful hell : For those who bear false witness through partiality or utter any falsehood.
This one is for being a lying bitch and also being partial towards certain people.
Rodha/obstruction hell: Abortion causers. Town plunderers. Cow murderers. Those who strangle a man.
Including this for man strangling as a general killing/murder thing but he destroyed Reinheit's Paradise and is a town plunderer.
Shukara/swine hell: Brahmin murderer, gold stealer, wine drinker. And anyone who associates with them.
Does drink wine. Led him to almost makeout with Yoo Sangah.
Tala/Padlock hell : Murderer of 2nd and 3rd caste (kshatriya, vaishya) and the one who commits adultery with their guru's wife.
Has murdered warriors/fighters and likely businessmen
Taptaloha/Hot iron hell : Sellers of their wife/wife's pimps, jailers, horsedealers, and the one who deserts their adherents
Constantly deserts his adherents
Lavana/Salt hell : Guru disrespectors, abusive to their 'betters', Veda haters, Veda sellers, and those who associate with women in a prohibited degree.
<Veda> hater
Vimohana/Bewilderment hell : Thieves and condemners of maryada
Condemner of maryada
Krimibhaksha/Worm food hell : Father hater, Brahmin hater, god hater, precious gems spoiler
Father hater, god hater
Krimisha/Insect hell : One who harms others with magic
He has and will harm others with magic
Lalabhaksha/Saliva food hell : Ones who eat their meals before offering them to gods, pitrs, guests
I don't think he offers his meals to gods, ancestors, or guests before eating
Vishasana/Murderous hell : Makers of lances, swords, and other weapons
Made a sword with rat bones
Adhomukha/Head Inverted hell : Ones who take bribes, ones who offer improper objects as sacrifice, and ones who catalogues stars
Used ganpyeongui. Counts as an attempt to catalogue stars.

Hey!! For the realistic to unrealistic headcanon asks, can I request bhuvan or gauri from lagaan? (since I was just watching lagaan yesterday)
Doing Gauri!
Headcanon A: realistic
She is casteist to some extent, given how close she is to her father and his prejudices.
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
She hates the king for how useless he effectively was in protecting them, and avoids him as much as she can at her wedding (which he canonically attends, I think?)
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
She is insecure about her name given that she is not the most fair-skinned person, and it only worsens when Elizabeth arrives.
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
Gauri was Elizabeth’s Radha as much as Bhuvan was.

Marathi Rukmini Jewellery Breakdown
Ok so I found this art of Krishna and Rukmini by Himanshu Bankar where rukmini is shown in marathi traditional attire and it made me SO SO HAPPY to see that because she's rarely depicted like that! And thenI saw it being shared on tumblr by a lot of ppl who didn't know that whatever clothes/jewellery rukmini is wearing is traditional marathi bridal attire.
So I thought I'd do a deep dive into this painting and talk about her clothes, hair, and jewellery! This is a long post, imma put everything under the cut! Tagging @cyndaquillt because you asking me about marathi miku made me learn a lot more about marathi jewellery, @sharngapani for showing me this image in the first place, and @chahaa-piun-ja for cheering me on!
Hair:
Her bun is a hairstyle called "Khopa" (खोपा) and the gold pin in her hair is called a Juda(जुडा). These can either be gold pins or have strings of pearls attached to them and I'm thinking that the latter is what she is wearing. Then the maang tika is pretty standard across cultures. The golden band between the maang tika and the juda is called a Bijwara(बिजवरा) and it's not used much in the modern day so I did have to do a bit of research to find out what it was.
Images, from left to right: Khopa, juda, and a minimalist maang tika/bindi.

Face
On her forehead, and hanging on either side of her face are Mundavalya(मुंडावळ्या), a forehead ornament worn by Maharashtrian brides & grooms. It is made from pearl & has two pearls strings which stand for the togetherness of bride & groom. Chandrakor is actually my ABSOLUTE fave part about maharashtrian culture it's the crescent moon on her forehead. Then on her nose is a pearl Nath(नथ). She's also wearing Kanpatti(कानपट्टी) aka ear strips on her ears and they're attached to her normal earrings. Fun fact btw the kanpatti in her ears looks a lot like the one my mom has.
Images from left to right: mundavalya+chandrakor, nath, kanpatti(without earrings)
Neck:
Generally what I've seen people wear at their fanciest is three-four necklaces, one right at the throat, one slightly lower, and a couple hanging almost down to mid-chest or upper stomach. Rukmini in that drawing is following that pattern. The choker-style necklace she's wearing in the picture isn't super clear but I think it's a thushi(ठुशी). It is a choker necklace crafted out of gold beads in varying sizes and is adjustable thanks to a soft thread that can be adjusted according to the wearer’s convenience. The next one seems to be a plain golden chain but the fact that she's wearing a mangalsutra at the time Krishna is taking her away is icing on top!
Thushi, mangalsutra and mohanmal in the picture below!
Arms:
There is a shela around her shoulders. These are generally made of silk and worn by brides.
Rukmini is wearing a vaki(वाकी) or bajuband(बाजूबंद).
Maharashtrian women generally wear green glass bangles(I've heard north indians wear red ones someone pls confirm this), and for weddings and festivities they're layered with gold bangles. Today, for everday wear, some people wear only one golden bangle on each arm(like my mom) or they might wear glass bangles(my grandma does this), and only do the gold-glass layering during special occassions.
The names of these bangles differ according to the way they're made and where they're placed on the layering. The thickest gold bangles nearest to the hand are called Tode(तोडे) and they're pair of heavy gold bangles that feature intricate designs that go all around the bangle. Since they keep the layering in place, they're generally smaller than the actual wrist and include a screw and hinge to fasten them. The gold bangles in the middle and back are called Patlya(पाटल्या), are a type of traditional gold bangles and are often decorated with intricate designs on the outside.
She also has a kamarbandh on her waist but ig that's also pretty standard so I didn't include separate pictures

in which yudhishtir gets sold to one direction (his cousins)
written while watching starbharat in the imq server. shoutout to my cowriter and accomplice @chahaa-piun-ja
“YUDHI GET DOWN HERE” my four brothers yell from the kitchen. i put my dark hair into a messy bun and put mascara on my dark brown orbs. i run into the kitchen to see… MY COUSINS?? “what are they doing here?” i ask my brothers. “they’re your new owners,” says arjuna. “surprise bitch you thought you could get away with gambling us away?”
Duryodhan chuckled evily. "I was originally going to take your siblings,,, but they came to my house last night and convinced me otherwise" he jingled a large bag of coins. MY dark orbs were overrun with tears like limpid pools of water.
“P-Panchali will never let this happen,” I whimper. Just at that moment Panchali bursts into the room with two other men, one in a red suit and the other in a blue suit. “Panchali!” I say gratefully. “Sorry,” she says, not sounding sorry at all. “These are my divorce lawyers. I can’t do anything anymore. We’re getting divorced.” Tears fall out of my sad brown orbs
the divorce lawyers, panchali, my brothers, all stood behind duryodhan. I had no choice but to walk back to my room to pack my bags. my brothers followed me shouting things like 'you good for nothing brother, you think you could stake us, well see how you like when the tables turn'. the floor was dark with my tears and my room was swimming in front of me. suddenly i fell to the floor in a faint.
I woke up in a comfy bed. “‘Ello, luv” said Ashwatthama. “Welcome to your new home.”
karna showed the layout of the house to me 'this 'ere be the kitchen, downstairs is the bathroom, and over yonder is the ballroom where we practise our songs.'
#hindublr#desiblr#mahabharat memes#mahabharata#ash writes#<- i guess?? i mean i definitely wrote something.

ma xiuying from she who became the sun for the villain ask meme (because I liked her the best)
See she is literally the only character in the entire story this is at all difficult for.
She's hmm, one of like two people in the story with a real interest in administration and any real preoccupation with civilian government? It's something of a cliche, but the obvious answer to me seems like her as queen and de facto minister after Zhu becomes Emperor? And basically doing Whatever Is Necessary to maintain the newly won peace and keep the new regime stable.
But also I am blanking on a lot of details from the books as soon as I actually try to figure out anything detaiiled here, so probably missing a better option.

Panchala in Mahabharata - Part 1
This is a selective summary of Dr. N. P. Bhaduri's 'Katha Amrita Saman' series, covering only the points that he made with regards to Panchala. Now, because Shikhandi is an integral point to that story, and the professor does note some controversial streams of explanation in relation with his story, I just want to make it clear, that this is just a summary of his work. I personally both agree and disagree with the different parts of his commentary.
This portion is from the information in the first book in series. I will eventually, some day, get through the other six in the series (and eight if it gets published in the meantime and I can find a copy).
Special thanks to @chahaa-piun-ja, who wanted to read the books, and gave me the chance to comb through it once again! ❤️
Parts: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Chandra -> Budha -> Pururava -> Ayu -> Nahusha -> Yayati -> Puru -> … -> Ilina -> Dushyanta -> Bharata -> Bhumanyu Bharadwaj -> Suhotra -> Hasti -> Ajamidha -> Neela (Neelini’s son) -> … -> Haryashva -> {Mudgala, Srinjaya, Vrihadishu, Yaveenara, Krimilashva(/Kapila/Kampilya)}
These five children of the Paurava dynasty leave their home turf of Hastinapura, and win over 5 small kingdoms in the general UP area (known earlier as Kribi) which came together to form the nascent kingdom, Panchala.
The first king Mudgala, after the unification, becomes a brahmin, and his line becomes known as the Maudgalya brahmins. In this family is later born rishi Sharadvaana and his twins Kripa and Kripi- the OG Pandavas’ and Kauravas’ first guru…and Drona’s wife.
Panchala’s lineage is carried forth in Srinjaya’s line. Srinjaya -> Chyavana Pijavana -> Sudasa -> Sahadeva -> Somaka -> Jantu -> ... -> Prishata -> Drupada -> {Shikhandi, Dhrishtadyumna, Draupadi, Satyajit etc.}.
Srinjaya’s capital was in Ahichhatra (again, the naga connection).
The Panchalas had civil strife for a long time, one example centered around a king (just tribe leader?) called Sthapati who is dethroned by the Srinjaya clan, and later helped by the Kaurava King Bahlika (Shantanu’s older brother) in an attempt to destabilize Panchala and install a puppet king.
The OG Srinjaya’s two daughters Vahyaka and Upavahyaka were married to Krishna’s ancestor, the Yadava King Saatvata’s second son Bhajamana (also Vrishni’s brother), in an attempt to offset the growing Kuru influence, counting on the Yadava-Haihaya alliance (however weak) to provide some backup.
On the other side, Ajamidha’s youngest wife Dhoomini’s son is Riksha. Hence, Ajamidha -> Riksha -> Samvarana -> Kuru.
During Samvarana’s rule, Sudasa attacked Hastinapura when the former was busy with his new wife Tapati, and Samvarana had to flee to the forests with his family.
Many years later, Samvarana and his son Kuru, under the guidance of his friend Vashishtha (who also helped him marry Tapati), and the help of Mathura’s Yadavas, Gandhara's Druhyus, Anava-Ushinara Shibis, and Satna’s Turvasus, he is able to win back Hastinapura (interestingly all 5 lineages descending from Yayati come together to fight this offshoot Panchala line).
Many texts also note that near the end of his rule, Sudasa became an unkind dictator who tormented his subjects, and hence probably faced some military mutiny leading to his eventual defeat.
Somaka was left defeated and humiliated with only a fraction of his family’s kingdom and no respect internationally.
Somaka apparently has one hundred wives, and only 1 son Jantu. Because of this awkward distribution, all 100 queens equally spoiled this kid, and once when they all started crying as if someone had died, when the child was bit by an ant. Irritated by this, Somaka apparently m*rders the child, and sacrifices him in a yajna, from which he is able to obtain 100 sons. Jantu himself is apparently reborn too.
However, Harivansha, claims that while Jantu was undoubtedly Somaka’s oldest son, the kingdom is passed on to Prishata (who we now recognize, as Drupada’s father). However, researchers hold that there might have been a lapse in documentation, and Prishata is in fact a descendant of Jantu, not his brother. After Kuru, even the lineage at Hastinapura suffers a similar lapse, as the next noteble king we see is Dilipa (Pratipa’s father, Shantanu’s grandfather), who is seemingly around Prishata's generation.
Prishata’s importance lies in the sole fact that he is able to hold his own on an international stage, and returns Panchala to some of its former glory.
When Amba is ‘thrown out’ (her words) and by both Bheeshma and Shalva, she finds temporary refuge in rishi Shaikhavatya’s ashram.
There she meets her maternal grandfather, the (still)King Hotravahana. The very next day, Akritavrana and his guru Parashurama to arrive there (surprisingly fast), to plan an ambush on Bheeshma. Amba, having developed some sort of a crush on Bheeshma, here tries to actually shield him, by explaining the entire story and Bheeshma’s part in it. However, the control seems to have moved to Hotravahana, who steamrolls his granddaughter, having finally found a ‘legitimate’ reason to go after the Kauravas, after their brutal insult in the last big conflict.
Atkritavrana and Hotravahana keep pressuring Amba, until, in front of Parashurama, she finally throws Bheeshma under the bus (aeons later Bheeshma is still salty about this, since he thinks Amba should’ve held her ground and gone after Shalva instead). Bheeshma later confesses to both Vyasa and Narada to having spread out a whole, paranoid network of spies just to keep track of Amba (and later Shikhandi), in case she tried anything else.
Amba goes on to tell some rishis, that because of Bheeshma’s actions she is ‘neither a man nor a woman’. Then Amba goes on to receive a boon from Shiva to ‘become a man’, and at the same time Drupada too receives a boon to be able to have a daughter who will become a son.
Vyasa says that after Amba k*lling herself, when Drupada’s wife had a child, she lied to everyone saying that the daughter she had was actually a son, and Drupada happily went along with it, naming the child Shikhandi. Outside the family, only Bheeshma knew that she was a girl, because of his spies. Drupada not only orchestrates a marriage for this son/daughter of his, but he also sends Shikhandi to Drona (?) to learn martial skills.
It is estimated that Hotravahana, after Bheeshma-Parashurama’s fight took Amba to Panchala, and gave her his nephew (?) Drupada, and the ‘androgynous’ nature of Shikhandi was an intentional misdirection by Amba and Drupada (who probably adopted her).
When Bheeshma comes face-to-face with Amba in Kurukshetra, he gives a four-part excuse for the people he refused to fight with, which are (1) women, (2) a man who used to be a woman (3) a man who has a ‘womanly’ name, and (4) a woman who dresses like a man. All 4 of these conditions implicate Amba/Shikhandi across all the fragments of explanation provided in the story up until then.

📂 for the murderbot diaries?
The "Corporation Rim" isn't a single political entity; it's a group of alliances and coalitions of hypercapitalist governments and corporations that function like governments that are culturally, economically, and politically affiliated, but they contain dozens if not hundreds of polities and their holdings that are bound primarily by treaties and contracts not to fuck each other over too badly lest the whole superstructure collapse.
Though they act like they're the majority of the galaxy and freeholds barely exist, only like 40% of the galaxy's population lives on Corporation Rim planets. There are so many non-corporate planets, from the adjacent but not directly affiliated Mihira and New Tideland and wherever Don Abene comes from, to the planets with an internal commercial economy primarily doing their own thing like the planets of the Divarti Cluster, to the fully we-don't-truck-with-corporate-nonsense like the Preservation Alliance, to the abandoned colony planets that have been living their lives without outward interference for decades or even centuries when they got cut off. Preservation has robust trade relations with the many other independent planets that dot hubward space. The Corporate planets just have a hard time believing you can do your own thing, politically and economically, without being part of the corporate world. Why wouldn't you want to? We have EIGHTY ONE brands of soda and you don't even need to pay THAT much extra to get artisanal organic ones without flame retardant in it!
