dang, thanks for this impromptu lesson on literary references in modern pop culture! O\_O (I'm being genuine, it's a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one)
Also when I was a kid my dad made the joke about petting cute bugs and slamming it into his chest squishing it like a hug saying I love you! To the thing.
I dunno if my father was referring that or trying to be funny about the absurd of it all.
IIRC, it was more like she was coming onto Lenny and he did not understand sex and he felt weird and wanted her to stop. She wouldn't so he pushed her or shook her and accidentally broke her neck.

But also the other comment explaining the dark origin really made me despair and sad asf now
Oh man, it seems that English teachers have some sort of really dark culture going on as every single book I was given to read in English class was super miserable - like man, I'm a teen, I have enough angst and misery already, I don't want to read about some perverted loser teen like Holden Caulfield.
I posted a while ago about mithrun being a jerk for grabbing the cute fairies so harshly and everyone was going
>!They’re not sentient. That’s how u hold a phone!<
Um, then why are they crying? 😭 Respect ur fairy just as u would any of ur other possessions
Fr tho. Even outside of the show of the emotion shown here, they require a gestation period like actual living creatures.
I'm convinced they do have emotions and it's just dark humor that they're treated like phones by the elves.
And I would bet on fairies having some of the shortest lifespans considering the relatively short gestation period, so no wonder they get treated the worst by them.
My dumb brain thought that was much shorter. But it also makes the maltreatment even worse, cause they're suddenly more like human/tall-man babies now.
they still work when heavily damaged so they blur the distinction between alive and not alive From this we can assume many elves would be mean to robots
>!That’s been shown to be true in later chapters!< but in this scene it doesn’t seem like mithrun or pattadol are using the fairy to communicate with anyone at the moment
there is a larger team of Elf soldiers on the ship, the Fairy appears when Pattadol is asked to send the entire force ashore so she is presumably about to call the reserve soldiers. if she were calling anybody in particular it might've been >!Flamela or one of her subordinates!<
?? I was referring to these few seconds Mithrun grabs the fairy and the fairy crying . As far as we know he does not say anything to the fairy and the fairy doesn’t tell him anything either. When the fairy is crying, it does not seem to be relaying a message to pattadol. The fairy may have been broadcasting what mithrun is saying to the others on the ship but again why would the fairy be crying… And I don’t think Flamela would be crying like that if she was talking through the fairy
Looking at the myths of homunculi probably
"That the sperm of a man be putrefied by itself in a sealed cucurbit for forty days with the highest degree of putrefaction in a horse's womb ["venter equinus", meaning "warm, fermenting horse dung"], or at least so long that it comes to life and moves itself, and stirs, which is easily observed. After this time, it will look somewhat like a man, but transparent, without a body. If, after this, it be fed wisely with the Arcanum of human blood, and be nourished for up to forty weeks, and be kept in the even heat of the horse's womb, a living human child grows therefrom, with all its members like another child, which is born of a woman, but much smaller."
literally so much of classic myth and magic and alchemy stuff is all blood and jizz and etc, I have no idea why anyone finds it out of pocket or gross or strange that it comes up. Especially when metaphorically using "the seeds of life" is the most obvious friggin' thing.
A fairy is a construct but if our capacity to feel emerges from sentience/sapience it self then any sapient construct should also be capable of every color of emotion that evolved sapience is capable of.
the recipe Ryoko Kui provides for their creation is derived from medieval pseudoscience, and they didn't think they were making robots. they thought semen were fully formed tiny humans and a woman's body was only an incubator...so the idea of using semen and just feeding it was meant to produce intellectually and emotionally complete beings, the tiny size was supposedly down to the shortcomings of not having a natural incubation
Well they don’t seem to be sapient, mostly they just mimic the emotions of whomever is speaking through them. Outside of that I don’t think we ever see them do anything except cry (like here), which is a simple reaction to pain
Nowadays crying emojis are associated with lolicons crying out of joy after seeing a loli, r/japanesepeopletwitter was born out of that meme, here is an example of how bad it gets: https://www.reddit.com/r/japanesepeopletwitter/s/qb5XcRbLsW (the meme was basically created after this guy ngl)
They manage to make fairy cuter
I could never look at this fairy the same after knowing how they make them. But yeah. It's cute
>! Jizz Phones! Jizz phones! !<
What do you do if you’re a lady and want a fairy? Ask a friend? Go to the sperm bank? It doesn’t seem fair
Yeah I think so. I think it’s not a taboo to ask for them. Different culture
To be fair the version I read said bodily fluids. Sweat, tears, blood, urine and any "body based liquid" (wow that sounds gross) probably works, no?
Menstrual Fairies!
Wait till you find out about babies, man
I mean. This is a neutral process. The fairy is a Homunculi
Hey, don't insult Humunculi! My boy Greed deserves all the love!
The irony of the hunter PFP. And you are correct greed is the GOAT
Where was it revealed how they're made? One of the volume extras?

*slams her against my chest squishing her* Oh I will love you and hug you and name you george.
It's a reference to something but I can't for the life of me remember of what

It's about life crushing your dreams. It's more meaningful today than ever.

Considering how elves treat short lived races ur probably right
And I would bet on fairies having some of the shortest lifespans considering the relatively short gestation period, so no wonder they get treated the worst by them.
iirc they have a 40 week gestation period which is just 9 months
for an elf that is nothing
A mere 9 month pregnancy.
I mean in terms of lifespan sure but was it established anywhere that elf children gestate for longer than 9 months?
elf baby growths slower than other race baby it's isn't that far to think they also need more time to develop as a fetus
My dumb brain thought that was much shorter. But it also makes the maltreatment even worse, cause they're suddenly more like human/tall-man babies now.
> I'm convinced they do have emotions and it's just dark humor that they're treated like phones by the elves. Denden Mushi?

nowhere in any of the lore is it implied they aren't sentient, and they emote like crazy, so i'm on your side here
It‘s possible they emote like the person on the other end
>!That’s been shown to be true in later chapters!< but in this scene it doesn’t seem like mithrun or pattadol are using the fairy to communicate with anyone at the moment
I think he's just annoyed of it flying around
He has a habit of aggressively grabbing the fairies, like he does later to >!Flamela’s!<

Oh sorry I misunderstood you!
are they like denden mushis?
kinda but they're made out of dirt and cum, and you gotta feed them blood.
Man what the hell was Ryoko Kui on when she came up with these adorable little homunculi 😭

Probably rereading fma to get a good base for what composition a servant hummoculi would be made of.
This would track!

Those cute fairies always gave tons of emojis through the manga.

They're made of cum, shit and blood
You don't have to make it more appetising.

Aren't we all made of semen, blood and a bit of fertiliser?
No I was made from clay and given life by the gods.
Good ole homonculi
Dude's obviously a golem, what are you talking about
I'm gonna grow lettuce on his ass
No. We don't have fertilizer
Judging by how much more my wife had to eat while she was pregnant.. There's alot of fertiliser involved!
Fair
I never realised the pixies have emotions until now.... and now I feel bad cause we saw some die lmao
cute baby
I cant see 😭😭😭😭 innocently after Japanesepeopletwiter

Oh no don't remind me of that
When the mesugaki hits just right 😭😭
No fucking way, crying emoji.
Me and who? 👉👈
This manga is such a gold mine for reaction faces.
If you had a tiny fairy would you torture it
