After Laios next up is Marcille!

I just love Marcille a lot.. but I am not the proudest with this sticker. I drew her once more because of that.

Also the cute dungeon bunnies :3

On Dungeon Rabbits

(Dungeon Meshi spoilers for the manga - tread with caution!)

So, we've been working on a particular AU lately. And that AU, as it turns out, means lots of thinking about Dungeon Rabbits, as well as decapitation.

(full ramble below cut - spoilers through to Dungeon Meshi Chapter 65)

(FULL DISCLOSURE NOTICE: we are repurposing an Author's Note for this, as we won't get to post it during the General Posting in (however long it takes us to finish this ficlet), and we also are no longer sure that it'll fit in the Ao3 End Notes)

We thought about dungeon bunnies a lot for this particular universe. In their intro, it's established that they decapitate people, or at least, are capable of decapitating people - and yet, when we encounter them, they just slash people's throats. Their spurs are relatively short, even if it's clear they're ridiculously sharp, not enough to fully sever a neck, and they don't ever actually take off a head, even with relatively-small Chilchuck - what is it that would let them behead someone, exactly?

As anyone who's ever butchered a whole animal will know, beheading something is harder than you'd think - necks are TOUGH, and they sort of have to be, since they've got to stay intact for a whole lifetime. They've got a metric ton of gristle and connective tissue that's a right bitch to get through even without the spinal cord - and when decapitating fully, the spinal cord is very much a concern, since it'll get in the way of pretty much any beheading method out there. It's a right bitch to work around, and even if you didn't have to worry about accidentally getting a knife stuck in it, it's gonna be hard to cut through. So how could a rabbit decapitate someone?

The first likely point, of course, is the spurs. They have sharp things attached to their heels which are shown to cut through flesh like butter. Obviously, this would make decapitation easier - but we see them using those spurs in the manga, and they don't behead anyone, just slit throats - and the throat is far from the most challenging part to work through, when it comes to decapitation. They go for the front of the neck, not the back - which would be very inconvenient to decaputate someone with, even if you were working with a blade long enough to allow it.

As dungeon bunny spurs don't appear to struggle at all with most armor, or most clothes, for that matter, we doubt that they'd struggle much with a spine. They pierce through as though there was nothing there, for anything except Laios's bunnyplate armor - and that seems to function more on a buffer of air, so that the bunny's spurs slash the air rather than the user's neck (and then the blade is stopped by the bunny's actual leg, which doesn't have the cutting power of the spur). We feel fairly safe saying that a bunny's spur COULD decapitate someone, if it were long enough - but it isn't long enough to make it all the way through the neck, so it would need something extra to actually decapitate.

This, of course, is when we make a Connection.

Our second point: the movement on those bunnies. The dungeon bunnies, much unlike the bunnies we have IRL, seem to have some RIDICULOUS jumps. Taking Laios's height into account, we know that they can jump at LEAST 185cm into the air (roughly 6 feet if you're American) - and with some of the panels, they go even HIGHER, over Laios's head. Rabbits aren't large animals, by any means, but putting anything that high into the air takes some power - that's fucking RIDICULOUS amounts of movement! For reference, IRL rabbit can only jump around 61cm in the air, with the world record being a 99.5cm jump. This is more than twice that! That's a ridiculous amount of height!

Normal rabbits can kick hard enough to snap necks on small animals, if they're lucky, and this is more than thrice the average jump height. Dungeon bunnies would have a RIDICULOUSLY strong kick, especially exerting that strong of a force on the tiny plane of a rabbit leg. We'd bet that they have some damn strong leg muscles, as well as probably some significantly beefed-up bones - IRL rabbits can break their own legs or permanently paralyze themselves by kicking too hard, and dungeon rabbits hop all over the place without batting an eye.

That is STUPIDLY strong! That's gonna be a concussive force at the VERY least! That shit's gonna hurt! With the spur cutting the neck open, it would probably be easy for something that stupidly strong to finish the job and kick a head clean off! All it needs to do is follow that nicely-cut path of least resistance, and you've got a headless adventurer! If it were less of a bitch to actually cut a head off, we might assume that'd be enough to chop that off even without the spurs, but it's surprisingly difficult to blow parts off with blunt force alone. You need the cut to make a weak point - though honestly, we're surprised that the FIRST kick doesn't decapitate, with a kick force that strong.

With that figured out, we're surprised Chilchuck still HAS a neck, after Marcille used his body as a meat shield. We're pretty sure that they exert MORE force than a horse's kick, with that much force on that small of a surface area, and you saw how that turned out for Senshi's family. We wonder if the warning thump would scare off other monsters? With them aiming for the throat, they'll be going RIGHT for the weak point on a red dragon, so they might pose a genuine threat to some of the bigger monsters. Fucked up little beasts. Fun to think about, though.

(Special Note: We studied the Bunny chapters of the manga for this, and the spurs on dungeon bunnies actually look to have some sort of armor-phasing effect, rather than simply piercing it. With all of the party members, even when they're bleeding out through their throats, anything they might have in front of those is completely unscathed - scarves, armor, beards, and anything else in the way are entirely untouched. A Dungeon Bunny's kick appears to simply ignore everything that isn't flesh - but their legs aren't subject to the same phasing effect.

Laios's bunny-plate armor works because it puts enough air between the wearer's neck and the bunny's spur that the bunny simply can't reach past the plate, and as the spur phases rather than cutting, the armor isn't even damaged by the interaction - minus whatever dents that the sheer blunt force of the kick might put in it, of course. It's possible that the cutting force of the spur, too, is a magical effect - rather than needing for it to be physically sharp, a dungeon bunny simply needs its spur to exist, and the magic does the rest. Neat!)

i hate when people call marcille a girlfailure btw like SHE ISNT. and shes not a ”girlboss” either. this is a neurotic and Permanently On The Edge of a Breakdown overachiever late 20s virgin just out of her phd program with permanently shaky hands from an addiction to overly sugary coffee and a deep desire to be crushed to death under falins giant jugs no matter the cost. the only thing shes ever ”failed” at is going to theraphy

sorry i have not been drawing much lately heres random stuff (mostly magma doodles w/ friends)

[dizzybizz]

hai here is a sketch dump with too many fandoms :) sorry about the ungodly amount of men here i have been going through it and by it i mean gay

ok wait i ran out of tags??? it wont let me tag them all😭😭😭 im gonna have to be sparing with them uhh i guess i will have to ramble under the cut then cus i like rambling in my tags but i cant with this one 😭

(ok im back from the ramble: it is way too long.... proceed forward if you want to see some guy just absolutely talk nonsense for entirely too long)

no cus i swear i have tried tagging more stuff than this before and never hit the limit but whatever

hello i really use this like a fkn blog huh

i just wanted to provide some thoughts on the harper and rosé one first bc its important to me 😌 cus i was thinking abt harper and how in my head and heart of hearts she would be the kid who thought you get pregnant from kissing and i dont think she ever really grew out of that belief. <- this ended up spawning the idea of harper being a sex-repulsed ace and i will die on this hill actually. fight me or die, you die either way actually nvm

this is just a buncha blorbos i dont know what to tell you really. sketch pages like these always end up so weird for me bc for some reason my brain always wants the characters in them to interact in some way. whether that be talking or just reacting to what the other is doing... its something i cant stop with, its so stupid and silly and i hate it and i love it. where else would i see kabru slowly losing his mind with how loud phoenix wright is in court????

I THOUGHT I HAD GOTTEN OFF THE RAILS WITH THAT BUT THEN THE NEXT PAGE HAPPENED. and all i could do was laugh and ask "what the fuck am i drawing??? HOW DID WE GET HERE? WHY IS THISTLE HERE WITH LEOPIKA HELP" LIKE that page started with the big leopika and then i was like "man i miss thistle lemme draw him real quick" but the curse struck and now hes being homophobic so </3

i rlly like how the nic(k) page turned out ... i just have a lot of nicks i like drawing idk.. the lil guy is an oc,,, one day his ref sheet will be finished and itll be awesome but not for now, sorry baby, no can do. im weirdly happy with how the hands turned out for all of them tho?? so thats a W

yotasuke, murai, nick (youll never know which one im referring to. .. jkjk its hoult i love the pose there ehehhe), nic and the entire last page r my favs. i like em all but those rlly get me yknow- the olly too ofc but ive already posted him, dont mind him being here, hes part of the set. AND OVER ALL IVE BEEN HAVING SO FUN WITH SHADING BLACK AND JUST LEAVING SPOTS BLANK ITS SO ?`????

WHY IS THIS SO LONG PLS DONT READ ALL THIS THIS IS STRAIGHT UP EMBARRASSING AGHSDFGSDHJSGD im all like "yeah i dont like talking about myself or whatever" but as soon as i get to my process or blorbos or smth the floodgates fucking break open, not even burst man.

also dont mind how i havent even acknowledged pingas twink pokemon counterpart. hes just here for shits and giggles i dont know the guy like at all, i watched a handful of eps of horizons and that was it RIP

if you draw falin from dunmeshi as any thinner than she appears in canon I do not trust you 😊 there is no reason to thin her character down. You cannot blame this on an art style. Your art style should include plus sized people. You cannot use not knowing how to draw plus sized people as an excuse either lmao… you could just not draw Falin if you are truly that un-dedicated to your own passion

everytime someone posts art of skinny falin an angel loses its wings
