dungeon meshi is soooo fucking great especially when it hits its stride and all characters have come into play bc it's just like
laios: I want to eat all the fucking monsters i want the monsters carnally
marcille: EATING MOSNTERS???? UNHOLY. UNCOUTH. DISGUSTING. anyway here's all the dark magic and necromancy i've got on the backburner to bring back my dragon-digested gf and also i plan to find a way for everyone to live forever at the cost of my very soul if need be
kabru, normally, in a normal tone he's rehearsed 42000 times in front of a mirror: I'M NORMAL. I'M SOOOO FUCKING NORMAL. I'M THE MOST NORMAL GUY AROUND AND I'M NOT CONSTANTLY PLOTTING ASSASSINATIONS FOR THE GREATER GOOD
senshi: I have all this trauma abt being the sole survivor of the fantasy equivalent of the franklin expedition but that's not important what really matters here is eat yer goddamn veggies or so help me
and the best part is that none of them are straight

something that kind of bothers me about modern feelings toward the epic of gilgamesh is how it's been COMPLETELY watered down to being "gay". Bear with me as I explain.
this is more of an extreme example, but I see this take all the time (not the yaoi part. the gay lover part). it's boiled down to the fact that it's gay over literally anything else in the epic. Gilgamesh's lament to Urshanabi about Enkidu's loss is overshadowed by the fact that Gilgamesh is mourning his gay lover. Gilgamesh is on a journey because he lost his gay lover. Gilgamesh and Enkidu were gay.
Now I understand that with a modern lens, people tend to lock on to how unabashedly Gilgamesh mourns Enkidu, because it's gay and because it's the oldest written epic in human history. People feel deeply connected to the idea that people like them have been around since the dawn of literature. But placing exclusive focus on the nature of the relationship as gay, rather than why the relationship or its loss was important, erases the story the epic is trying to tell.
The Epic of Gilgamesh is a story about love, yes, but it is not a love story. It's about the fear of death, coping with loss, and desperation to stave off the inevitable. It's about the bonds of friendship, about hardship, coming to terms personal change and losing pieces of yourself as you learn and grow. It is about consequences, arrogance, death, second chances, mourning, yearning, loving and LIVING. The Epic of Gilgamesh is about the entire human experience and one man's struggle to accept it. What does it mean to have lived? What does it mean to have loved, and lost? What does it mean to die, and to be remembered? What does it mean to be human?
It is perfectly okay to find appreciation for the Epic because of Gilgamesh and Enkidu's relationship. But also understand that the world's oldest story is not about two gay men who loved each other. It is a story about being alive.
TLDR;

I would take the concept of biphobia a bit more seriously if it wasn’t so often used as a synonym for heterophobia. No, it’s not bigoted in any way for homosexuals to make fun of straight relationships. Especially when so many bi people in those relationships are annoying us with “we’re still super queer and super gay!!!” Because they think their sexuality cancels out their opposite sex relationship.

No you little shit, gay men didn’t died in almost everyone’s disinterest EXEPT FOR OTHER SAME-SEX ATTRACTED WOMEN AND MEN for you 2 generations later to be walking around saying homophobic slurs just because your boyfriend in your hetero couple is wearing nail polish.
Shut the fuck up and go sit back.

i am not posting the whole thing bc it sounds absolutely ridiculous in aggregate but i DID locate this death note/hamlet au i wrote absolutely ages ago with the dialogue in elizabethan english so i am sharing the good part(tm) now. ft. light as hamlet and L as ophelia, who is now a paramour sent to the prince as a gift
L knelt in front of Light. For a moment Light thought he was about to bow, but he did not; instead he lifted Light’s hand and raised his knuckles to his lips. Gently, he kissed them. “If my liege can trust my vulgar tongue,” he said, “my duke wants your favour. I myself do not. I want your hand.” He kissed it again, then rose on his knees, leaning towards Light, the heat of him close. He smelled somehow of metal and earth. He must have been looking through the garden for evidence of Light’s father’s killer; Light had asked him not to — he was already certain of who that was — but that meant very little to L.
He traced a finger down Light’s arm. Light shivered, and did not pull away. “And your arms.” He touched Light’s throat, which quivered. “And your throat. And the nape of your neck.” A touch. “And your foolish hair.” He brushed it away from Lights cheek. “And your lips, which are no more honest than mine own.” He ran the back of his finger along Light’s lips.
