Part of why I’m so defensive of the name Thistle is that I just think it fits him so perfectly and has some really interesting meaning you can assign to it outside of it just being his eye color.
Where I come from, thistles are considered a nuisance species. They have massive taproots that burrow deep underground, so once one pops up in your garden or yard you’re going to have a hell of a time removing it. The scotch thistle, like above, is considered invasive and listed as a noxious weed, and though there are many native thistle species they all tend to get lumped together by the average person.
And yet, thistles are incredibly important to their local ecosystem. They provide food and shelter for many species, especially pollinators, and are hardy survivalists. In some places they’re seen very favorably, such as being the symbol of Scotland. Their prickly nature means that few people are likely to mess with them, which makes them an effective symbol of resilience and protection.
But, despite this, to many they are just weeds. A nuisance, to be tolerated at best and exterminated with little prejudice if the wrong kind is in the wrong place to the point that it draws attention. Despite the fact that ultimately it is us humans who brought them to these new locations. I think there is no malice in simply trying to be alive.
ive seen various little theories about this but i think the most interesting one is that hair is a very useful thing to elves (as shown with marcille during the familiar scene so i wont go too into that), so it possibly couldve been to avoid any danger or accidents being brought onto the king (despite thistle being just a baby but i honestly think that the people of the golden country, especially the ones within the castle and near the melini family, just werent very familiar with elven ages and elves in general,, another thing that i wont get too into as its not fully relevant to this) so thats why they cut it, another reason couldve just also been because it was matted,, those two seem like the most likely things to me but either way hes very cute and we should all love him!!!!!!
Here are my Dungeon meshi stickers! I basically thought "hey. lots of people will have cute food themed stickers. And that good and well, but I want that serious stuff too!" So I decided to make a series for the main gang based on sense of self instead!
