I started reading Dungeon Meshi last week, became instantly charmed and captivated, and blitzed through the entire manga in 4 days (and changed my profile picture about it). With that in mind, I would just like to say...
I love your dungeon meshi art so so much
CHILCHUCK!!!!!!!!
Thank you kindly! I love Dungeon Meshi a lot, so I'm happy to see so many people get into it for the first time.
CHILCHUCK!!!

Guys I've got to come out. I unironically love Vedek Bareil. You know the way we obsess over certain minor characters, like ensign Vorik and stuff. It's like that with him and it's been that way since I first watched DS9. Idk I know he's "white bread" or whatever but I don't care !! I found his death genuinely fucked up and sad. In the episode where Lwaxana was making everyone super horny accidentally he was pretty cute and dorky. Idk I just like him. This is now an anti Bareil-slander zone !

There is a near-universal fandom throughline of depicting Marik as gnc, sometimes rising to the level of effeminate stereotype, and obviously there is a reason for this--his character design very much reads to us as gnc. But I think it's very worth thinking about that Marik grew up in a society where he is the norm! Jewelry and eye makeup appear to be universal if not mandatory for tombkeeper men. Those are literally his father's earrings. By the time we meet him, Marik doesn't appear to be rejecting the accepted standards of power and masculinity among tombkeepers (from what little we see, domination over others and control of a strict and ritualized hierarchy), and is in fact meeting them quite handily, in ways that are sort of terrible for everyone.
And obviously I really love genderweird Marik who loves his pastels, but there is a lot worth exploring in Marik and Rishid climbing out of the caves to find a society that reads femininity into what they regard as neutral, and how weird that is, and whose father would probably be way more disappointed with them for removing their earrings than for putting them on.
