@davidrevoy I want a pet mimic now

@davidrevoy

@Nartance 😆 😆 😆

@davidrevoy c'est du poirier savant ?

@cptcv @davidrevoy
Je me suis posé la même question !

@cptcv @davidrevoy
Et maintenant je sais les mots français pour "sapient pearwood". Merci.

@CppGuy Il ne lui manque que les pieds 😋 @davidrevoy

@cptcv @CppGuy 💜 Ca fait plaisir de lire des commentaires du Disque Monde. Ma petite allusion fonctionne au poil

@davidrevoy
The Luggage vibes - https://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/The_Luggage

@jargoggles Perfect 🙂 That's indeed a little cameo in disguise (for copyright reason).

@davidrevoy I'm thinking DISCWORLD 1, 2 for the PS1...

@Twisted666 👍

@davidrevoy Cette nouvelle série est désormais très prometteuse. Quelle est ton idée derrière le format carré des planches? Tu ne te coupes pas l'herbe sous les pieds pour une éventuelle diffusion papier relié?

@oliviersaraja Merci! Le format carré, c'est juste pratique pour une consomation directe sur les reseaux sociaux; ça passe et en écran de PC/laptop, et en mode mobile à la verticale. Pour une publi papier, on verra; mais je pense à un petit format comme un manga carré. Ca serait sympa à bouquiner. Mais oui, ça marchera pas dans un album classique A4 BD couleur avec couv en dure, mais pas trop grave... Web first et community first 😉

@davidrevoy
Legally distinct baggage creature.

@jargoggles Yep, good dogo-like-treasure CC-BySa Creature :D For future video games derivations maybe.

@andre Yes, I tried to avoid naming it with this name in case it was still copyrighted. better to be safe than sorry later and get all this work removed because of a complaint for copyright 😅

But so many video games, so many books used 'Mimic' that it is probably a standard bestiary/monster name by now (eg. recently in Frieren, but also this type of Treasure can be found in old Snes game like Secret of Mana). Thank you for the Wikipedia link, very cool to read more description.

@davidrevoy

mime-type: animal/pet

@doctormo 😍 🤣 🤣

@davidrevoy this is amazing. You do wonderful work.

@mentallyalex Thank you!

@davidrevoy C'est pas pour rien que j'ai deux fleurs en avatar 🤪 @CppGuy

@cptcv @CppGuy Oh mais... wow! J'étais totalement passé à côté. Maintenant tout est clair !

@davidrevoy is it made from sapient pearwood?

@datenwolf 😉 Yes.
🐢🐘🐘🐘🐘 📀

@davidrevoy i love your beautiful little comics

@skye ☺️ Thank you!

@davidrevoy @andre Both Delicious in Dungeon and Frieren already use the word "mimic". At least in the subs.

@yuki2501 @andre True. It's probably safe.

@gub Oui ( ✨🐢🐘🐘🐘🐘✨ , la tortue se meut 😉 )

@davidrevoy Il est en poirier magique ?

@Gords Oui 🎇🐢🐘🐘🐘🐘🎇

@davidrevoy cette planche voit ses personnages s’approfondir bien plus que dans certains films, comme Star Wars episode 9.

This strip has more character development than some movies, like Star Wars episode 9.

@psoul 🤣 🤣 🤣 A full dual character arcs in 4 pictures, no text! 😊

@davidrevoy Il est adorable :)
Très bonne idée ce crossover discworld !

@touhoppai Merci ! J'ai cru quand même que ça allait être un peu heavy en termes de gag à référence, mais ça a l'air de bien passer. (Alicja ne connaissait pas ce genre de monstre, donc elle trouvait ça gentillet, mais sans plus, limite un peu gratuit).

@davidrevoy Literally just the luggage from Discworld. Albeit, a bit less murderous than the luggage.

@Kallekatt13 I'm so happy many got the reference 🐢🐘🐘🐘🐘 . That's the closest thing I can do without doing a copyright infringement an inventing my own luggage-like creature. ☺️

@davidrevoy I know itʼs meant to be a mimic, but I canʼt help but think it is a chest made of sapient pearwood. https://wiki.lspace.org/Sapient_pearwood #discworld

@baltakatei yes, it's a crossover 😉

@davidrevoy can we see the influence of the Luggage from the Discworld series? 😉😄

@physicman Oh yes, big time! 🐢 🐘🐘🐘🐘 😉 👍

@davidrevoy Is that made out of sapient pearwood? 😁

@nazokiyoubinbou Sure! 🐢 🐘🐘🐘🐘 😉

@davidrevoy Rincewind would like a word!

@Da_Gut 😆 😆 😆

@davidrevoy #camelCase hash tags please. 😀

@justin Right, I'll try to remember about it!

@davidrevoy

Do you have these hosted somewhere that I could give as a more permanent link than a mastodon reference? This is delightful and I’d like to share it with someone.

@CliftonR Thank you! Right now, I just have a tag on my blog https://www.davidrevoy.com/tag/minifantasytheater , but I'm starting to think about a dedicated website with all sources, translations, etc... I'll post about it as soon as I have something, but it might take time.

@davidrevoy Is it possible to have the Alt-Text available on your site as well?

@TheLostSorcerer Hey, I wish; but my blog system is a bit of an older age and I don't manage its code base. I would need to get a way to enter multiline alt text and a system that encode the characters like " or anything that can jailbreak the alt="" tag attribute. It's not simple, but it is noted.

The future MiniFantasyTheatre website will have it (alt text are already part of the metadata that goes along episodes in my brainstorming) I'm working on that.

@davidrevoy

Thank you! I tracked it down on your website in the meantime, but it would be great if you included a shareable link with the Mini Fantasy Theater posts because I keep feeling compelled to share them.

(In this case to my kid who’s both a D&D player and a Pratchett fan.)

@CliftonR Noted! (And cool kid, you are lucky!)

@BetaRays Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to describe a comic page made of multiple panel and speech bubbles in a single line... I wish the article took into account this use case (or the case of alt for infography with many text and/or large diagrams).

@davidrevoy
Is this a metaphor? It feels like a metaphor.

@mytwobits01 There is one, yes, but not one I want to express with words. 🙂
