So apparently there's Discourse about the supposed Tone Shift of Dungeon Meshi and I'd like to reassure the anime-onlies that Dungeon Meshi's core of "eating monsters and sharing meals together" will remain the focus of the story. Things will be more plot-focused, there will be more fleshing out of the characters & the setting, and the stakes will get higher but it's still Dungeon Meshi. It's honestly hard to explain, but it's not like, going to turn into Max Edginess and Misery or something. If anything, the funniest and most heartwarming parts of the story are yet to come.
Falin was literally reconstructed by the people who love her most, using the meat of the thing that killed her. Most raw, visceral, meaningful necromancy ever. They were really like oh you think death is cheap in this dungeon? You think it will be simple? No it went too far and now you have to deal with the bones and the corpses and defy laws and the common understanding of morality and it'll be awful and disgusting but you'll do it because you love her
JK Rowling has used her billionaire legal team to silence a Jewish woman for telling the truth about her contempt for trans victims of the Holocaust.
Scotland’s network of “freedom of speech” organisations, as per usual, have nothing to say about the use of wealth to gag critics of the wealthy.
However fast they race to condemn the LGBT+ community for saying the names of those who harm us. Statements at the ready to insist that transphobes no one wants to work with anymore must be given every possible opportunity to gain from their bigotry.
But it's not the billionaires who are being silenced, as our media breathlessly echo their every hateful proclamation.
It's journalists and activists forced to publicly humiliate themselves under the weight and the threat of billionaire legal teams or be driven into destitution.
We deserve better. Freedom of speech needs to mean something
yes senshi is built like a bear and gets all the pantyshots and can cook like a god but also that man is the most asexual character in the whole fuckign series. he has absolutely nothing going on in that department. dude has miso soup where his sexuality would be
Senshi isn't the only self-care icon of Dungeon Meshi. Yes, he'll live in your brain forever to remind you to eat nutritional meals. But nutrition and delicious food is as far as his self-care goes. That man hasn't washed his beard in who knows how long before he met the group.
Marcille is the queen of hygiene self-care. Cleanliness isn't just for health, it feels good and luxurious to just sink yourself into a tub of warm water and fancy smelling soaps. If you don't have the energy to do all that then just wash your hair! Enjoy the hot water against your scalp and massaging that shampoo in. Brush it, braid it, put it up into cute new styles! Marcille said magic is connected to a person's mana, and taking care of it is good routine for mages. Just take a minute to comb/brush your hair and feel that magic in you!
farcille isn't "toxic yuri." nothing remotely toxic about them, they both treat each other with a great deal of care and affection and respect. just because marcille is willing to do forbidden necromancy and arguably cannibalism for her wife doesn't make her toxic that's just what you do for a woman with broad shoulders
found a catboy in sharlayan's dock. this is so funny but also. an interesting insight into raha's brain, bc this is not the first time he's been sitting here worrying about finances. poor boy never got over his broke college student arc. bless him
I love that most of Dungeon Meshi has themes like "Working together is important" and "It's good to reach across cultural divides to find common ground", and then one episode is just like "Don't eat raw fish dipshit"
