Some stricter taxes on all to pay for public services. (education, public transport, etc..).

I have no idea if they’re a vegan, but they fit par for the course for one of the holier-than-thou ones.
I couldn’t mark this with any content warnings because I suppose this is more disgusting than harmful or violent…
For a while, I’ve always wondered why I felt a certain way about some dishes while everyone else would rather die than eat them. I’d be ecstatic to eat a number of “repulsive” dishes. Casu Marzu, smalahove, organ meats…
I wouldn’t necessarily eat anything cruel; I’d be horrified at the idea of eating an Ortolan (despite quite enjoying reading descriptions of its consumption…), but I often daydream about eating a plate full of rhinoceros beetle larvae, or a bowl of fish eyes. Heck, if my body was able to consume raw/rotting meat without health risk, I’d eat it 4 times a day because of how alluring the idea is in my mind. To my great displeasure, though, the area I’m in has the food variety of a Denny’s, and I live in an area where it would be unsafe to eat raw meat. Does anyone have a guess as to why I have the food tastes of a vulture or something akin to a detritivore?
Edit: Adding onto this, I also don’t really care about certain standards for animals. If someone gave me dog ribs and said it was killed humanely, I’d happily munch down on it. I’d eat absolutely ANYTHING as long as it’s edible and didn’t involve suffering.
(Also looking for opinions on this, even if you can’t answer my question!)
My special interest is knowing things. Tell me all you know. I do not mind what subject.

I’ve got a theory of my own I recently thought of, figured I’d share it and ask for opinions.
I’ve started to theorize the Mortmain Mountains are called that mostly to cement the idea that the VFD is everlasting in an abstract way, that the VFD will keep being reborn under various names as long as the noble people of the world get the idea to organize and eventually fall apart.
“Mortmain is a French term meaning “dead hand” which is used in reference to inalienable land or tenements held by the “dead hand” of a church or corporate entity.” - https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/mortmain .
“the condition of lands or tenements held without right of alienation, as by an ecclesiastical corporation; inalienable ownership/the perpetual holding of land, especially by a corporation or charitable trust.” - Dictionary.com
What do you all think?
(Couldn’t decide which definition helped my point more…)
Edit: Can someone please comment? I feel a bit awkward.
That atrocious pixelation doesn’t help either.

This is technically a question but definitely not a serious one.
Right after I started reading the books, my mind suddenly gave me the deep yearning to start studying the law and to pursue becoming a prosecutor and a judge later down in my career, despite wanting to be an astronomer before exposure to this series. I am now very excited when I hear anything about the law. Does anyone know what I’ve done down with?
(unserious answers absolutely welcome)
Edit: someone please give me a diagnosis 😢

Do you guys have any favorite fanarts/book arts?
My favorite art related to ASoUE is OrbKlaus, personally…but second favorite’s the book design for “The Wide Window (Or, Disappearance!)”
This has definitely been talked about before, but I wish there were separate servers for people who like the combat/survival aspects of the game vs. people like me who just like how interesting the creatures look or are pacifists. I at least wish there was a toggle-off for PVP. I’ve had some creatures I really liked killed by someone who wouldn’t get off my tail despite trying to run or fight, whether it be a much larger creature or an ankle-biter, and I’ve had tons of more near-misses. This can be awfully disappointing, as I don’t have much free time to grow my creatures, and I hate having to lose all of my progress because I’m not allowed to escape combat when someone starts randomly chasing me down, and I’m a FTP so I have to wait for a bit to buy revive tokens. Anyone feel the same/have better ideas about how the feature could be implemented?
