who, me? rereading Shimura Takako's Sweet Blue Flowers for the fifth time? nah bro that's just the gas leak hallucinations again.

unrelated but did you that all of the school plays in Sweet Blue Flowers are used as a metatextual vehicle for commenting on the characters playing in them and the situation that their interpersonal relationships are in at that particular time in their life, creating either dramatic irony or emphasizing on the quiet pain/ennui of the conscious character, depending on reader interpretation?

also unrelated but if Shimura Takako asked me to beat someone to death with a metal pipe i would do it

person who has only watched one anime: what i really love about dungeon meshi is how it subverts our expectations of a typical anime by not sexualising women and having a good plot!

it's so funny how graffiti is like a non issue that effortlessly reveals peoples' reactionary tendencies.

On April 12, 1918, the newly-formed Cheka raided 26 anarchist centers in Moscow, murdering dozens and arresting hundreds. The Bolsheviks aimed to consolidate power over the revolution, and the anarchists represented the most radical force within it.

The Bolshevik authorities used reactionary rhetoric to justify this attack, accusing the anarchists of being “bandits” and “criminals” for taking over property belonging to the ruling class and turning it into social centers and collective housing. The Bolsheviks were seeking alliances with the privileged classes: on the day of the raids, wealthy homeowners came along with the Cheka to recover their properties and abuse the arrested revolutionaries.

The Cheka began to execute arrestees without trials; they organized the Gulag system that devoured millions, the vast majority of them peasants and workers.

When the Bolsheviks usurped the Russian Revolution, it was a disaster for anti-capitalist movements everywhere.

There’s something so important about dungeon meshi choosing falin to be their missing party member. She’s their healer. She is, in many ways, the most important member. She’s the one who ensures they all come home in one piece at the end of the day. So from a storytelling perspective, it makes sense that it would be her. It intrinsically raises the stakes by taking away the party’s ability to quickly heal.

But from a thematic standpoint it’s even more significant. Falin is the best of them. She holds them all together. There’s a reason why the party splits up when they lose her, after all. The only reason Laois and Marcille know each other is because of Falin, so by extension she’s the only reason their party exists the way it does.

There’s something almost divine about the way she’s characterized by her friends. They talk about her kindness, think of what she’d do if she were with them. You never hear anyone speak poorly of her. Everyone else has flaws. Laois struggles to connect with others, Chilchuck can’t admit when he cares, Marcille refuses to be wrong, and Senshi is very stuck in his ways. None of these are necessarily a bad thing. It just makes them complex people. But Falin is almost more of an idealized concept than a person.

And then we see Falin on screen, a mess of bones and viscera. We see her put back together with forbidden magic, her new body soaked with blood. We see that there’s something off about her, that alongside her kindness is incredible power. And everything up until that point reframes itself. Falin has always been part monster, from her compassion for the dead to her magic school hideout in a dungeon. She dies and comes back, not just changed but amplified. She’s a healer, a ghost, a monster, all tucked beneath the same skin.

god i really thought you people were lying about laios and kabru just for the sake of pretending like there is a gay little thing going on when its questionably textual at best but this shit is for real fascinating. unprecedented. master manipulator kabru playing both sides operating behind six layers of sublimated yaoi to obsessively plot laios' downfall. and on the other side of the coin notable Grade A Grass-Fed Freak laios touden experiencing a completely normal crush on the first pretty man to demonstrate polite interest in his passions and hobbies. i can only imagine laios is gonna be out here milking minotaurs like 'hm. if kabru was here now...i wonder if he would enjoy this too..... that would be nice (:' whilst kabru is pacing a deep furrow in the cobblestones clear on the other side of the dungeon vowing up and down that he will commit to sucking laios' dick meat clean off the bone if it might bring him one step closer to seeing his head on a pike
