i was already like 95% sure that izutsumi was based on/inspired by ryoko kui's real pet cat or at least a cat that she was friends with, but seeing this daydream hour art where she's petting a black and white cat just confirms that for me. she's so real for making an oc based on her pet i love it so much when people do that

Some half-foot stuffs, Mickbell joining the guild has got to be the reason why he managed to open a noodle shop post canon

Also Mithrun shenanigans sometime later

Every time I revisit chapter 86 and the events right after the group talks Marcille down, I'm always struck by this bit here:

In particular, how similar it is to this:

The Winged Lion ate the same desire in both of them, more or less (I'm sure there are some nuances in both flavor and intent, but they are clearly similar things here). The Lion basically used this technique to kill Thistle, and for Marcille it was... not insignificant, but something she and her friends overcame without even fully realizing it was an obstacle.

I feel like this is another small piece of the story that shows how important support and love are - in navigating mental illness, in dealing with abuse or addiction, or in working through any other similar struggle that can be read into the Lion and his eating of desires.

It almost feels like Marcille was able to borrow the desires of her friends. She loves them and she trusts them, so even when she didn't have a desire to free herself from the Lion, the care they had for her well being still mattered to her.

It's the same thing later, with her hair.

She isn't able to notice the way her messy hair is making things harder, let alone do anything about it. But when Chilchuck points it out and then braids it back for her...

It's better. She likes it, things are easier now. Even though it isn't a desire she can feel for herself, it's not something that doesn't effect her. And because her friends care - because they know her well enough to notice the difference - she is given the chance to have a preference and to ask for their help.

We can obviously see some parallel ideas here with Mithrun and Kabru as well, but I'd also like to point out that Thistle gets this grace, too. Thistle, who had no one to help him up once he lost his will to resist, or to encourage him to find new desires once the Lion ate them all.

Thistle says he doesn't need anything, anymore...

But he is given an apology anyways.

It is not a kindness he desires. It is not a kindness he is able to ask for.

But it is a kindness that helps. It is a kindness that matters.

As a side observer who’s only dipped my toes in dungeon meshi, I think it’s really done the most fascinating thing which is like. Have a main cast wherein all of the characters are talked about in fandom. I think the benefit of making all these characters equally as freakish as each other in their own ways is that you don’t really have a huge barrier separating “obviously the main characters” and “these funny guys who are also there I guess.” I’ve seen as many (if not more) people post about Senshi, the funny big-eyed bearded dwarf guy, as I have Laois, the blonde standard anime-protagonist looking dude. Because they’re both the same amount of strange and presented narratively on the same level, of the same level of importance to the audience. You know. It’s very good.

#this is what got me interested into dunmeshi too! #it's interesting #how at first i could not tell who exactly was in the main cast #until i actually dipped my toes into it more #laios or this kabru or this mithrun guy? #how relevant are they to the story? #boom mithrun doesn't show up until HALF the manga
