i have warmed up to both toshiro and kabru a lot lately ngl. i rlly like both of them. and as much as i'm looking forward to next week i'm kinda scared of the toshiro hate it's gonna bring outta the woodwork. partly bc i hated him at first myself lol 💀 his fight with laios reminded me of a lot of painful experiences i've had in regards to being autistic but like......... i think once i saw past my own bad experiences and perceived the situation objectively, toshiro's explosion was pretty understandable given the circumstances. toshiro was on the verge of starvation, dehydrated, barely able to keep himself conscious and standing up, and then the random white guy who's kinda been committing unintentional microaggressions towards him for years casually mentions that he did dark magic on the woman toshiro is in love with, the same woman that he's been driving himself to death's door to search for. i think he's justified in being a little upset lol.

like yeah i think what he said to laios was shitty, and ultimately i would say he is "in the wrong" in their conflict, but it's not like laios is a perfect angel either. and toshiro is also just in a desperate miserable situation, and stress can make ppl say things they don't always mean. and in the end, their conflict just makes the bond between them stronger bc it enables toshiro to open up and be more honest and encourages laios to consider his feelings more. and laios still adores the guy and wants to go travelling with him at the end of the manga

i think sometimes ppl should just allow characters to be flawed and say shitty things without instantly declaring those characters as villains. and i don't think his love for falin is "manic pixie girl-ifying" her either, he literally fell in love with her bc he thought she was kind and gentle and intelligent and unique which i think is sweet! and in time i think he would come to see those traits in laios as well.

i'm not saying ppl have to like him bc i didn't even like him myself at first (i actually straight up HATED him initially) but PLEASE at least allow the situation to be nuanced

#dungeon meshi #laios touden #toshiro nakamoto #I never hated him #(I just don’t have that fiber in me. Peace and love ✌️) #but he was a character I didn’t pay too much attention to. I definitely dismissed him #but thanks to various friends and our Discord server #I have been enlightened #I think Toshiro is a fascinating character and I love considering what Kui meant by including him #meta #not really #dunmeshi spoilers

Ryoko Kui Does Not Believe in Epiphanies (or: why Marcille and Mithrun's endings are great actually)

I have seen a couple of people who are upset about the way that Mithrun and Marcille's stories were resolved so I'm writing this to clear some things up. Ryoko Kui does not believe in epiphanies. An epiphany is a sudden and usually brief realization, an "aha" moment. Epiphanies are emotionally powerful moments. Both Marcille and Mithrun have powerful moments of realization, epiphanies.

Whether or not you like these resolutions, there's something you need to understand, Ryoko Kui does not put that much stock into these moments. Immediately after Marcille has her realization, Tansu responds like this:

While this is mostly his own opinion, what he is pointing out is that epiphanies are brief, they are singular moments that do not define a life. Life is long, and epiphanies do not sustain you. Marcille might feel like this now, but what about tomorrow? what about nex year? ten years, a hundred years, five hundred years from now? How often have you felt a sudden understanding? a burst of inspiration, or perhaps a realization that everything is pointless? It generally passes quickly, and you make dinner, and go to bed.

Think about the best meal you have ever had, it was probably a special occasion, maybe it felt like something magical, in the moment you might have felt like your life was changed. Then, in the morning you were hungry, so you ate breakfast. You cooked, you did the dishes, you went on with your life. What "meaning" did that meal have if you were hungry again the next day? Mithrun has to rebuild everything, every day he has to come up with new desires to do the very basics. None of it comes naturally, he has to find a reason to eat beyond being hungry, a reason to want to do anything when he doesn't want anything. Ryoko Kui tells us outright, that there is no magical solution:

The same thing applies to Ryoko Kui's representation of racism in dungeon meshi. Around when the orcs appeared in the anime I saw people gripeing about the way racism is treated. They seemed to think that Laios's party having dinner with the orcs was presented as them "solving" racism. Once again people misunderstand, they did not solve racism in a single moment. A few people, understood each other a little better, came to an arrangement and then parted. This was merely a moment in their lives. The characters continue to do micro-agressions, hold stereotypes, and have implicit biases. In dungeon meshi, characters don't suddenly stop being racist in the course of an evening. Life is a process, learning about others is a process, it's about the accumulation of experiences through the meat and potatoes of life, the daily activities that we actually fill our lives with, not the sudden realizations. Once you make learning about and living with other people into part of your routine, once it is embodied, then it is part of your life.

This is the real conclusion: life is not lived in a state of epiphany. Life is about chores, cooking, eating, shitting, working, and sleeping, it's everyday. Life is about doing simple things and doing them well. An epiphany is a useful tool for telling the reader that everything is going to be alright, we love to read epiphanies and be swept up in them. They can also be a breaking of a pattern, an escape from a spiral.

This is the other take away, it's about the people you do those things with, the way they rub off on you, the way they help you be human. For Mithrun and Marcille their paths would be impossible without other people pushing them back on the path as they stray. Mithrun literally would starve to death except for the thought that kabru and others don't want him to. Eating is a communal activity, so is living, you can have an epiphany on your own; you can't live on your own.

Do you think in this moment she was remembering her childhood dogs and how they used to push her around and bully her and because she's half monster now she's able to express how fucking frustrating and horrible that was instead of being a pushover about it???

#oh yes 100% #that’s how I’ve always interpreted this particular moment once I learned about her relationship with the family dogs #dungeon meshi #others in the discord server agreed too #play into why I’m clutching my “Falin becoming the Faligon allows her to physically express all the frustrations and hurt she has #accumulated over the years.” Something something “the calm person suddenly exploding when stuff goes too far” something something interpret #gif #kuro #falin touden #dunmeshi spoilers
