Introduction:

Name: None of your business.

Pseudonym: Python

Occupation: Resident programmer at the BHO

Portfolio: Currently unavailable, all you need to know is that I can code well enough for the head honcho himself

Reasons for running this blog: A way to pass the time, and to engage with the wider villain community.

OOC:

Hello!! Writer here (@VampyricLykoi), this blog is mainly for asks surrounding my OC and also just for roleplays in general if anyone’s down for that

Asks will always be open, you can ask questions for Python or anyone else in Black Hat’s manor if you’d like (though, I probably won’t be too good at writing for the other characters 😅😅)

some information about Python that i feel is important is that he’s pretty friendly with most of the villains he meets, but has a strong disdain for Black Hat

He’s also specifically a black hat hacker who prioritises his own anonymity over most other things

ATTENTION BELOVED FOLLOWERS

YOU WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY BLOCKED BY MY BOT IF YOU DO NOT READ THIS POST

Now that I have your attention, I will explain the full situation.

I have 36,000 followers. The vast majority of these followers are bots, a fact that annoys me to no end. I realized that I may be able to solve this problem, although considerable effort would be needed in order to execute my plan.

I am currently learning Python in order to made a program that interfaces with the Tumblr API in a process that will retrieve my follower list and block thousands upon thousands of accounts automatically.

In order to filter out exclusively bots, I will provide one method of survival. Reply with a single period on THIS post. Make sure that your are commenting from your main blog, not a side account! I will make a list of users who are capable of engaging with my posts, and remove your names from the list of followers who shall be purged.

COMMENT "." ON THIS POST IN ORDER TO BE SPARED

If all goes to plan, I will run this program on FEBRUARY 10 2025, one month after the creation of this post. If this program takes longer than a month, the deadline for opting in for immunity will be similarly extended.

If you are a long time mutual, if you are a rarely online lurker, if you are a new impulse follower, please comment regardless! Even if we have never spoken, don't feel embarrassed by interacting. My goal is to have an entirely human followerbase, and everyone is welcome to enjoy the post-apocalyptic paradise.

Here to talk and ask questions about something probably nobody cares about but me. It sorta bugs me that they call dungeon rabbits rabbits when they’re clearly hares. Everything from the long forelegs to the haunted eyes reads as hare.

I was wondering if maybe it was just translated as rabbit and if the Japanese name calls it a hare? Google translate tells me there are two different words for rabbit and hare (though there’s only a syllable difference between the two words). I don’t know if Japanese folks actually really use that word and make the distinction though lol, or if the just consider rabbit as an acceptable word for any lagomorph. I suppose hares get called rabbits all the time in English though, too. I just really like hares so I’m sorta frothing at the mouth over this. I can’t speak or read the language, so I can’t check for myself beyond using google translate.

Or maybe Kui meant for them to be rabbits but referenced pics of hares by mistake? Idk.

Hare on the left rabbit on the right (for those who don't know)

I think dungeon rabbits are probably something between a rabbit and a hare, since monsters in dungeon meshi are rarely a 1:1 to real animals. The giant bat is one that gets me the most (cause I love bats) they LOOK 100% like a fruit eating bat but they drink blood.

Dungeon Rabbit description says "they look exactly like adorable bunnies" in the AB, and they are pretty "cute" for a hare I think? (hares are cute too tho) I can at least confirm Kui intended for them to be called Rabbits, their official english name given by Kui is "Rabbit of Dungeon". The jackalope looks more like an actual bunny, so Kui probably knows the difference and it's a purposeful design choice

(I think they look enough like a bunny in the manga but I'm no bunny specialist)

One thing about Dungeon Meshi (ignoring the whole discussion of whats a monster and whats an animal) is that part of why they exist seem to be to scare humans? Like lots of them seem to design themselves (or have been designed to) specifically target humans/inspire fear, like treasure bugs for example and mimics, they disguise themselves as something that will attract humans, Harpies have a distorted human face and breasts, they aren't just normally evolved animals, they are things of nightmares (in some cases)

The dungeon rabbit (and the blood drinking giant bat) to me follow that logic of "must scare humans", the dungeon rabbit is something that from far away you think kinda looks cute but then as you see them closer you realize it's "off" (or you die before you can) so looking kind of like a bunny but with the "stranger" proportions/eyes of a hare makes sense in that context.

All of that said, they're most likely a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, so calling them rabbits makes that reference more obvious

edit: answer about the japanese word here (i forgot at first)

Hey Python, what’s your professional opinion on your boss? 😼

(hi hello yes this is still @blackhat-org )

“Well, that really depends on who’s asking. I’m not one to chat shit about people behind their backs, so…

…

Oh, what the hell. Between you and me, I’m not a big fan of the donny myself, he’s honestly a bit of a tosser. Don’t really help that he doesn’t seem like he’s too big a fan of me, neither.”

I think that was Thornbeetle that was attacked by that Ice-Fang back when Burnet first met SnakeSpots, right?

Here's the two appearances side by side if you want to compare!

Thornbeetle (below) is actually grey, though the pink bg showing through makes him look kinda purple cx

Do the snakes have names perhaps

I dub thee noodle closest to his face as “Curly”

Porthos is SO handsome! How old is the big boi now?

He's nine-and-a-half!

We brought him home in June 2015, he was so smol, he fit into a (largish) deli cup!

He came from the Berkeley Serpentarium, and rode home with us in the car, on J's lap. He got very scared!

This is my first photo of him, just before I put him in his quarantine tub. He looks very Concerned (TM).

Here's another photo of him a couple of weeks later, with my hand for scale:

He's grown so much since then, but he's still an absolute treasure of a noodle!

He's an awesome pair-coding partner! I'm usually the one typing, and he carefully reviews every line!
