One of my favorite things about about dungeon meshi is the dawning realization you get when the party starts interacting with other partys, that, marcille really isnt being picky or spoiled, if anything shes under reacting because it really is incredibly taboo to have anything to do with monsters beyond eradicating them. Everyone else they encounter responds to the idea as if it is on the level of cannibalism. And it is truly insane given that the party has just accepted and even learn to enjoy the idea.
I didn't want to bring this up, but I haven't seen anyone talking about it and listen... Her soft voice asking Laios for help just as Laios was about to strike her??? It broke me
I've been feeling really stressed because of this scene.
This is my biggest fear. The idea that the people you think of as friends only barely tolerate you, and you're just too dense to pick up on it. And it would be my own fault for not being more socially aware.
I'm too conscious of the fact that I would *not* pick up on social cues like this. How many people talk about me like this when I'm not around? How many people would gladly be rid of me? The fear of this possibility consumes me. It regularly has me afraid to reach out to anyone. It causes me to isolate myself. I'm not sure more socially capable people could ever understand the horror of this. I can't get it off my mind.
say what you will about dungeon meshi but if i put my full squeamish pussy into gathering each & every bone of my digested girlfriend, painstakingly arranging them, and then using my blood to illegally reconstruct a whole new body for her. only for some preteen monarchist with alexandria's genesis to fucking UNDO all of it in favor of fusing her with the giant lizard that killed her instead. brother you would see me on the news
Having thoughts about Toshiro I don't know how to articulate, so here's a messy rant, I guess!
Yes, a bunch of people dislike him because of Farcille. No, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Straight people have committed real-life violence against gay people for being gay for ages, and they still do, so I think we can handle shippers of a fictional wlw ship disliking a fictional male character for having feelings for one of them. It's not that deep.
Laios and Toshiro's conflict is more complex. We have been following Laios for a while now, and we've only been hearing about Toshiro up until two episodes ago. It's natural that people will tend to take Laios' side. I also think it's a bit malicious of people to talk about racism here when the setup for the disagreement is shown to be between Laios and Toshiro as individuals, and the clash between Laios being austist and having a lack of social skills, and Toshiro keeping his feelings and thoughts to himself. Is it because of his culture? We have Maizuru freely opening up, and Inutade is very extroverted, so that's not the impression I got.
To say Laios' was committing racist microagressions by talking to Toshiro and being interested in the land he came from and the monsters they have there and seeing him as a friend, and for calling him Shuro after he misunderstood his name and Toshiro did not correct him, I mean? It seems a little disingenuous to me.
Not to mention, Toshiro was intended to be a polarizing character. His negative reaction to the party's use of black magic, while can be understandable as it is born out of concern, is extremely antagonistic to the main characters. You know, the people we have been following since episode one and came to care about? Them. We, as an audience, don't want Laios and Marcille handed over for using forbidden magic. We don't want Falin to rest in peace. His stance goes completely against everything that we care about as viewers, and we haven't had the time to know him, to grow to like him.
To act like it's unfair for people to dislike him? Idk. It's really not that unexpected.
