Hey So Can We Talk About Rumo As A Character? Cause I Feel Like He's Kind Of Overlooked Here In The Fandom

hey so can we talk about Rumo as a character? cause I feel like he's kind of overlooked here in the fandom even though I think there are aspects of his character that deserve to be talked about or at least pointed out. plus he is a character that, for me, is relatable on SO MANY LEVELS and I need to talk about that or I will go insane. is someone willing to talk with me about my boy and listen to my ramblings

that sounds so good, I wish I could read a translation (⁠T⁠T⁠) thank you for the amazing summary, I have to write my thoughts on it because this is the first time I see this much of the plot explained.

- it seems like hilde has actual trauma from the events of Codb which.. valid. It makes sense after the whole shitshow he experienced in the catacombs and at the end of the book (rip homuncolossus, you would've loved ao3). he needs therapy. I don't even think they have therapy in zamonia but they should definitely invent it, cause oh boy...

- and yeah. our dino being the ONLY one who didn't get seasick on that boat? press x to doubt. I smell bullshit my guy.

- 1 and a half hours of explaining all the cool stuff he saw in the museum? very moers thing to do. atp i would be kind of suspicious that someone else wrote it if this kind of thing wasn't there haha

-so the Quaquappa is kind of like a parallel to the shadow kings story and Hildegunst is automatically feeling for it cause it reminds him of him? ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ ouch. I may or may not be crying. it's actually really sad to see just how affected he is by Homuncolossus' death (for the context I haven't yet read the labyrinth of dreaming books so I didn't have the chance to see it aside from a couple of people mentioning here that he is VERY affected)

-also I love the Quaquappa. I've never heard of it until this day but I love the Quaquappa.

i feel like millions of English-speaking contemporary romance writers struggle with fleshing out strong and convincing romantic relationships in their works while the craziest, most serious and reckless magnetic 'love-and-affection' magic was accidentally assigned to a couple of barely humanoid creatures in a whimsical fantasy/dark fairy tale book written by a reclusive German author

Hey if you’re schizophrenic/psychotic I just want you to know that you’re a wonderful person and that you deserve so much better than the demonization, marginalization and stigmatization you face in this society.

The next Zamonia novel is nearing its completion. I can say this much: You have seen the protagonist in Captain Bluebear and it's set in a different dimension.

Hildegunst upon seeing Colossus:

Here is where our story begins. It tells the tale of Hola of Claw Island, a Wolpertingess who was not unlike any other Wolperting. She was good at combat, strong and swift, and naturally talented when wielding a weapon. Though there was one difference to any other Wolperting: She was the first Wolpertingess to see a Silver Thread.

Hola is a nunchaku wielding, no nonsense taking Wolpertingess who wears colourful tunics thanks to her foster father, a Rickshaw Demon, and has a soft spot for a gentle Wolperting who can cook like no other.
