Misha's behavior

Since the Blu Ray volume 7 came out, I have been doing an analysis to the character of Mikhail since some doubts I had about him were answered after reading it.

At first, I thought that he was a little brat with a manipulative smile and a cold heart (such as Jack). Then we learned about his past, his mother, what Moreau did, etc. And I began to understand him, but I still had many questions about Misha's actions...

In this example, we see him changing his mood in a blink.

This is uncommon for a kid of his age. He was clearly trying to appeal to the soft side of his brother and after seeing that it didn't work, he changed the subject and continue as if nothing had happened.

You can see this conduct in young kids or babies because they know it works and they don't know other way of get what they want. but Misha knows more. And, by the other hand, this can be seen in people with manipulative tendencies too, but they usually have a lot of experience in manipulate others and Misha is too young and hadn't lived that much to be like that so, why is him like this? I have been wondering this for a lot of time, but thanks to the last special manga + some things I remembered that my biology teacher told us in class, I have an idea...

*** Warning: if you had read the manga/watched the anime you know how bad Misha's childhood was, but just in case: child abuse below this point...

First, what my teacher explained about babies and crying: all species, in the first weeks of life, have an instinct to cry with no reason. It is not for necessity but to call their parents attention.

This is a important thing to survive in nature

(it's an example, no cub has been harmed doing this comic)

With time, all the babies (should) stop crying for the attention of their parents while they learn to life in their environment and to see that they are safe... But we all knows one or two children that still crying for nothing, don't we?

Here is where Misha's traumatic childhood enter the equation:

1. His mother used him to humor her clients. We can't see what they did, but I bet it was decisive in Misha’s poor development of emotions and relationships.

2. His mother tied him up.

3. His mother hit and probably even scrag him.

4. The last and probably the tilt point, his mother sometimes was nice with him.

That last point is important, because is where all Misha's growth begin to be a mess.

Since Misha's mother was in a good randomly, Misha grows with mixed and confusing signals about crying and asking for help:

Sometimes when he cried for attention (no danger or important reason) and her mother answered nicely.

Others he cried out of necessity and his mother ignored him or worse, hit him.

With this contradiction made mother, the main example for a kid to learn, he grew up without knowing when people was going to respond correctly to his crying and with this bad development Misha developed 2 conducts:

Since you don't know when people will answer your call, it’s always better to try to call for help (needed or not) than not to do it because if you don’t do it, you may be missing a chance to be taken cared.

And the second: to take care of himself and not wait for others to do it for him. This is because in his childhood with his mother he probably had to deal with a lot of bad situations in which no one helped him...

This kinda explains why Misha cries as a way to get attention (love) but later continue his life because he knows he is alone and he has to keep going

(I know it's blurry but is the better I have)

Edit: less blurry because now I have the blu rays.

What I really love about the Daydream Hour art is that it really shows that the characters in Dungeon Meshi aren’t just characters in a story, but they’re Ryoko Kui’s ocs. And sure maybe this is a perk that’s granted to mangakas that release on a monthly schedule opposed to weekly IDK but there’s just some about getting to see different interpretations of the characters and peeks into what she draws in her free time outside the story.

Like look Marcille likes to dance

And here’s the characters in Halloween costumes

Taking Covid precautions

And like I just love how casually she draws and depicts the characters in her personal work. There’s something for quite literally all the characters and like I said maybe other mangakas don’t have or can’t find the time to do so or choose to not release their personal work like she does but I think these pieces just make the characters feel more alive. Like she’s an oc artist through and through lol

you don't understand how insane i am about gorgug in the nightmare forest. he's claustrophobic. he's spent his whole life in a house too small for him. the tunnel is full of bugs. everything and everyone is small and fragile and breakable. he's felt like an idiot his whole life. the only way to beat the puzzle is to give up and admit he isn't smart enough. he loves his friends so much he could send them hope from miles away. sickening.

One of my favorite metaphors of Glass Onion is the Mona Lisa vs the Glass Onion.

Miles is constantly comparing himself, whether directly or indirectly, to the Mona Lisa. He wants to be “forever remembered in the same breath” as her. He plays up the mystery and the complexity of the painting, the artistry, the skill and the knowledge that went into it; All traits that he wants others to see in him.

But when Miles is describing the painting, who gets the closeup shot? Not Miles, but Helen. Helen is the one who gets multiple shots throughout the movie mirroring the Mona Lisa- same pose, same unreadable expression.

Because Miles isn’t the Mona Lisa, however much he wishes he was. Miles is the Glass Onion. Something trying to look complex and layered on the outside, when in reality, the center is in plain sight. Miles isn’t some enigmatic genius, he is exactly what he appears to be at first glance: an idiotic, rich, egotistical, shithead.

He didn’t make his own puzzles, he didn’t write his own murder, he didn’t create his own art, he didn’t even come up with the idea for his company. His island is filled with things made by other people. He isn’t even the person who did the thing that will forever connect him to the Mona Lisa. The thing that will forever tie him to Helen Brand.

Helen is the one with complexity. Helen is the one surrounded by mystery. Helen is the one who’s more than meets the eye. Helen is the Mona Lisa, and the Mona Lisa destroyed herself to take down Miles Bron.

The thing i love about dungeon meshi is it's about eating. And not in some bullshit metaphor way like eating as an analogy for love or power, no, it is unapologetically, literally about eating. How we relate to eating socially and culturally, how the dynamics of eating shape the natural world, how important eating is to our bodies and our wellbeing, everything comes back to eating. It is a story with total thematic focus on something most people would write off as too benign to be able to carry a whole story. But eating is important! We all do it, three times a day! Why shouldn't it get a story all to itself?

crazy how hozier compared the fact he couldn't tell his relationship was failing because he was too blinded by love to the idea that icarus could not tell he was dying because he was too enamoured by the sun and we were supposed to just carry on living like everything's normal.

i wish so fucking bad that schools would teach even the most basic nature and wildlife literacy. bc what they teach now is how we get these godawful lawns and monocultures and an endlessly growing list of extinct animal species. like i can’t even count how many times i’ve been trying to explain to people why mosquitoes/moths/bats/flies/wasps/etc are so important and people have gone “but that’s what bees are for (pollination)” or “birds can just eat other things” or “things decompose on their own”. it has to be in the dozens. nothing makes me as upset as when people simply cannot wrap their heads around the fact (fact, fact, fact) that every single organism has its purpose in nature and there is *nothing* that is “pointless”. ignorance like this is what leads to barren monoculture lawns and deforestation and “pest control” and devastating invasive species and expanding extinction/endangerment lists. i just wish schools would teach that every animal and plant has its place, and *nothing* needs to be exterminated as a whole, *especially* native wildlife. but of course capitalism can’t thrive on proper environmentalism so i guess we’ll just have to deal with this.

#i could rant about this for HOURS #it all ties into capitalism. it all fucking ties into capitalism #if anyone wants to add on PLEASE do i am ALWAYS down to talk abt this #sir david attenborough. one of the most famous and influential environmentalists in the world. has publicly expressed that for nature to #thrive capitalism MUST be dismantled #rambles #capitalism #capitalist hell #environmentalism #naturalism #climate change #infodump #100 #1k #10k

can’t shake the idea of amanda making the kids spend a harvest season on uncle trip’s and aunt t’pol’s pear farm in washington. this is basically a “the simple life” au where sybok forms a cult of personality, michael frees all the frogs from a local high school, and spock gets a crush. classic boy meets world stuff.

You don't get to misgender people yes even if you think they're cringe (get over it), yes even if you don't understand it (get Over It), yes even if you think they're a terrible person (irrelevent), yes even if they have done objectively horrible harmful things (still irrelevent,) and yes, even if you think they "can't really know for sure" because of their disability (that's fucking ableist, shut your goddamn mouth.)

#youtube tried to push me ANOTHER fucking chr/is-chan video and I'm seeing red #i could literally talk for hours about the decades- plural- DECADES-long ABUSE campaign but its not really my fucking business. #i WILL bitch about the notion that disabled people somehow don't know themselves well enough to be trans. go to fucking hell #ableism mention

Obsessed with the idea that Derek loves hearing Stiles talk, that he could listen to him talk for hours, that he uses the sound of his voice to ground himself and be at peace, that it's his favorite sound in the world. That when someone tells Stiles to shut up he'll growl right in their face and tell them to apologize or get lost (even the pack, they don't get a pass when it comes to Stiles).

I especially can't stop thinking about how, at some point, they'll be alone spending time together, and Stiles will be talking and Derek will be listening, until Stiles shuts himself up because he's so used to people getting annoyed when he talks, and he doesn't want to annoy Derek, but Derek just opens his eyes from where he'd been resting his head on Stiles' lap and asks him why he stopped, he obviously was very excited about the new Iron Man movie, come on, keep going.

And anyways yeah I think they're perfect for each other.

“doctor who is well written” if you say so i guess “doctor who proved trans girl magic is real and features the penultimate bestie relationship and david tennant is openly having the time of his life” now this we can’t possibly refute

#doctor who #i’m sure i could find things to criticize about it. in fact there are many. and those who are critiquing it keep up the good work #i just know i looked at david tennant for an hour today and i liked it #and when i read posts that mention pacing my eyes glaze over. what is this pacing you’re talking about
