Eat the Rich

I had a lot of fun watching the film Death of a Unicorn, and its message really stuck with me, so I had to paint up something inspired by the film's message. Had a bit of trouble at the start, but overall, really enjoy how he turned out.

There are some other versions, including a much bloodier one, and if you fancy seeing them on a t shirt, there's a link below to my Redbubble <3

Mini Megillah Monday!

Sometimes, you just have to make it yourself. That's what Robert E. Massmann did in 1968 when he wanted a miniature Megillah. This is copy 76 of 100.

A Megillah is a scroll containing the Book of Esther. It is traditionally read during Purim (which starts this week), a Jewish holiday that celebrates how Queen Esther was able to save her people from being killed by the advisor to her husband, Haman. To celebrate Purim, many people read the Megillah, eat hamantaschen (pastries shaped like Haman's hat), and dress up in costumes.

Housed in a beautiful wooden casing, the paper comprising the scroll is over three feet long! As you can see in the video, the scroll is able to be easily rerolled using the metal handle. As someone who has helped reroll scrolls before, we definitely appreciate this technology!

The Original One - Limited print run canvas print

One of my biggest dreams was to be able to make canvas prints of my Japanese style Pokémon prints so I ordered two prints of "The Original One" Arceus print. They are 18,5 x 50 cm.

Sadly the cost of the prints was too high and the print shop I got my offer from closed. I was left with these two prints that I forgot about until I rediscovered them while reorganizing my stock.

These two prints are available on my Etsy!

They also come with a magnetic poster hanger so you don't even need to think about the framing!

It would have been great to offer bigger canvas prints like this of all of my designs but even to this day it doesn't seem likely.

Find me and my art elsewhere!

V trying to figure out a new spell

[dunmeshistash]

hi! what do we know about ways of magical travel in dungeon meshi? specifically, I'm looking for information regarding the scrolls they use. I think the canaries and Mr & Mrs Folke's party are seen using it? What do we know about those?

Hello! First of all I love your question cause I have not thought much about this before.

What we know about the scrolls they use is that they're used to move from deep inside the dungeon back to the surface, and that Holm's sister makes the tools to use it. Here's an extra from Kui's blog talking about it

As it's described there this spell can only be used in closed spaces and the spell is broken if the room stops being closed.

The glossary section of the Adventurer's Bible lists the scrolls as a type of teleportation magic, and makes a distinction between that, Mithrun's teleportation and Falin's teleportation.

All teleportation magic seems to very restricted since they can have disastrous results and the scrolls seem to be extra finicky, Kui has also made a little comic about it

Idk what the gnome is on about, maybe they're saying that cause they want to keep selling the scrolls? But according to what we know if even a bit of you is on the surface you cant be resurrected.

Tansu says both "Let's get ready to cast the return spell" and "It takes some time for the gate to open" in chapter 20

In the house instead of another scroll they come out of a canvas on an easel, I imagine if the room they keep it got opened the magic just wouldn't work and they would have to walk back?

Mithrun just unravels the scroll and casts a spell and it opens, so Tansu might have just been lying about it taking a while for the gate to open so Namari wouldn't feel rushed

In Maizuru's spell she's holding a pen/brush in her mouth so probably the way she casts the spell is also different, could be that the 3 of them use their own flavour of spellcasting to do it (gnomish, elvish, eastern)

On the other side of Maizuru's spell was also a similar scroll painting, on the other side of Mithrun's spell it seemed to have been the exact same type of scroll. By this I imagine you must be able to cast the return spell yourself or have a party member who can cast it, that's probably why Holm's sister sells the "tools" to do the spell instead of a ready to go scroll which somehow I assumed it was.

And that's all I think, I don't think they'd use this spell for long travels on the surface? It might not be possible to do in the surface for some reason or just too risky/not worth the danger, since everytime we've heard about long travels in dungeon meshi they were done by boat or other normal travel means, even the elves just use boats

edit: I'm silly it says right there the scroll turns the room into part of the dungeon, so it is impossible on the surface

Flora is the Roman Goddess of flowers, especially associated with spring, her festivals, the Floralia, were from 28 April to 3 May. The scroll is in Italian and translates as follows:

I come from Florence and I am Flora.
