I find it super interesting that some races can properly interbreed with each other and some can't.
Like are Half-foots just miniature hourse versions of Tall-men? Why are Ogres miex in with them? Can a Half-foot breed with an Ogre and make a kid who can have children?
So many questions.

I think one of the biggest tragedies of Laios & Falin and their relationship is how much his actions impact her life. But like. Specifically how much they WOULDN’T impact her life as much if they weren’t both stuck in such a shitty abusive situation.
This part of the Falin-tries-makeup daydream hour comic is what got me thinking about it again because truly it just... it seems like such a like an offhand comment that I'm sure Laios didn't mean to be cruel or anything. That's just like. A little kid not thinking about what they are saying. ESPECIALLY when the kid in question is Laios.
But man they depended on each other SO much as kids. Too much. It really feels like they didn't have any other source of positive reinforcement, or anyone else to share themselves with. So of course an offhand comment like that has a huge impact on Falin.
Or this little bit from one of the flashbacks:
This tears me apart. Do you think it tears him apart to think about? I think it does. I think Laios holds every small failure to care for Falin against himself.
And then there's the Bigger stuff. The way that him coping with his own trauma ended up impacting her.
Like his interest in monsters. Like him going to find a ghost, and accidentally revealing Falin's magic to the whole village in the process.
Like him needing to leave. And leaving her behind.
He shaped her life so much, and he carries so much guilt for it. And again, there should have been other people there to help. The same things that made Laios need to leave home are the things that made his leaving so hard on Falin. She ate alone after that. She shouldn't have had to eat alone just because Laios wasn't there.
She was 9 when he left for school, and he was 11.
Nine. And Laios feels like he failed her because he didn't stand by her through this better. As an eleven year old.
Both of these kids deserved so much better from the world.

I find myself thinking about this panel from the Adventurer's Bible quite often. My pet theory is that Chilchuck assumes his daughters will think Senshi's hot because he thinks Senshi's hot.

Dungeon Meshi Information Sources
Dungeon Meshi has several worldbuilding details and extra comics in different publications and I think they get pretty hard to keep track of so I wanted to make a guide and explain what is what for people that maybe want to look into it themselves!
The Main Information sources are:
Daydream Hour 2-5:
Sketch compilations and extra comics by Ryoko Kui with commentary, which can be found on EH Scans blog translated, and also in mangadex in between the manga chapters (The first daydream hour isn't dungeon meshi related)
The Complete Daydream Hour:
Or more specifically "Ryoko Kui Doodle Book Daydream Hour" Released in january 2024 it still hasn't been fully translated into english. This version compiles extras and sketches from daydream hour 1-5 along with new content. Some of the exclusive comics have been translated and can be found on reddit and bato.to but the full thing is yet to be translated.
Delicious in Dungeon World Guide: The Adventurer's Bible (2021):
A guide by Ryoko Kui that compiles information about the characters, monsters and the world. An official english version is available. It was released in february 2021 and has information pertinent for up to chapter 71 from the manga. It contains extra comics for all the main characters and for all the human/demi human races. The extras that talk about side character's backstories are from this book and the characters section has been translated by EH Scans (Also on mangadex)
Delicious in Dungeon World Guide: Adventurer's Bible Complete Edition (2024):
Released in february 2024 and still untranslated, this version of the Adventurer's Bible has information updated for the end of the manga, there's even more extras and lots of comics about post-canon. Some of them are being translated and posted into reddit but I haven't seen them anywhere else. The raw is available on bato.to
Manga and Ryoko Kui's Blog:
Some of it are from the manga itself, like Monster Tidbits and other Harta Magazine Extras (Where dungeon meshi is published) and also from the author's own personal blog. Lots of the drawings in her blog were deleted with the publishing of the complete daydream hour but you can still see what was unpublished using the wayback machine.
Blu-ray:
With the release of the second bluray its clear that there will be extra content with each new one, there's "what if" extras and cover art by Ryoko Kui, you can check it here.
I hope this helps somehow! It was pretty confusing for myself when I first started looking for more extras after finishing the manga.
The things I post here are all based on one of these and I try to put in the tags what the source is!

So I got the world guide and...
Some fun stuff in there Falin was only 10 when she met Marccille which is nice conformation because while Falin said somthing like Marccille still thinks that she's 10 when talking to Laios about why Marccille was so worried about her it could have been exaggeration so the confirmation is nice. Also Marcille herself is only 50 when the events of Dungeon Meshi takes place which feels crazy because when Laios was asked about how old she looked he said 100, halfbread aging really is fucky. She's only twice Laios' age which considering her natural lifespan is over 10 time his... yeah I get her fears about aging by the time Falin would die of old age(who knows not with the dragon bits) Marcille would only be about 110-120 and that's if Falin had an above average Tallman lifespan. 120 isn't old for a normal elf, it's like their 20s, by proportion Marcille would be about 10 or younger.... that proportion is offset by her maturing at a non proportional rate but still....
Also
Izutsumi is only 17 which.... Falin is 6 years older than her and thats not counting if her being a chimera affects her aging. Her youngest child energy is truly justified.

Dungeon Meshi Adventurer’s Bible spoilers
.
.
.
A broken family
Kinda disappointed that almost no one talking about the fact that Mickbell has a permanently estranged younger sister and his character bio shows his family status is unknown.
Also him sneaking out and stealing from others must’ve been from his habit of stealing the food from the kitchen because his parents probably hate him a lot to the point they barely feed him. When Kui said Mickbell was all alone in the world, she really means that he has no one to rely on even in his old household.

Ep22 gave me a small ulcer so I went down the rabbit hole of looking for the next chapters heh, read like 5 chapters after the current episode and then proceeded to look for the Adventurer's Bible, and while I've been told that stuff in it don't appear in the main story, I now have some screenshots of what stood out to me with no context just because-
1. Laios's social skills level. I feel so seen. I'm not alone
2. Falin. Senshi thinks she looks so like Laios. That's it.
3. Very important expression by your 29 yrs old half-foot. I can never resist his annoyed faces honestly idk
4. "A mere 20 years"
5.
Also, Laios and Senshi straight up thinking of Izutsumi as ''cat" and Izutsumi thinking of Tade as the one with horns while Tade thinks they're friends, lol;
Bonus
I've seen lotsa ppl talk about Mayjack Chils but listen Packpatty is just exuding youngest child
Bonus bonus
Smiley eyes Senshi. Very important.

Marcille's my favorite from Laios's party, but Falin is such a close second.
I also really like Pattadol and her big ol nose, but Lycion and Fleki ... they're so great ..
