I knew I was going to really enjoy seeing MC and ryoji's interactions if they add them in P3R, I had an idea that it'd be so wholesome. I really wanted to see it because it's great to see someone treasure another

I figure it is love, regardless of what type of love it is, it's one.. I wouldn't limit it to a specific type of it in particular, rather, it feels like a big, natural affinity you have towards something (it might develop into something more specific along the plot? but at this point it seems like it. He's quite similar to aigis on that regard. she has this huge affection for the protagonist but could it only be specified as the romantic type? That's one way to take it, but it's not everything about it, in my opinion.)

For me, what they have imbues in me of what I have towards my friends. What he says right here, I know what he's talking about with my heart. I anticipated it'd be there when I meet him in the story so I wanted to see it. He was so happy to meet the MC, to exist in the same time as he is and form a bond. It changes him. He takes him as a wonderful person and it's enough to make him feel he was happy to have a life, seeing something like that makes me happy too. Thinking about how important and endearing someone can be to another and feeling that's one beautiful part of life's a message I really want to embrace...It has more meaning to it when the story talks about living your life within the limits you have, to its fullest. What you have will not last forever.

So you have to say these things aloud and let them know how much you love them when you can. Ryoji does that here. It's really beautiful when you think about it, that's why I thought I'd love ryoji when he comes along (I already did, but even more depending on what he gets on P3R- he's one of the characters who can display these ideas so well if handled correctly so I was so looking forward to it) and I really like what they did with him. P3R staff did justice to the characters, him included! I'm totally up to seeing more of it in the rest of the story.

I love what this game offers, it's such a gem.. I'm happy it's back to bring many people lots of meaning and joy!! It's a game that can do that for people.

I'm Thankful For All Ya'll!

I do want to give special thanks to the friends I have made on here as well as anyone who has liked any of my fan fic, videos, or follow me in general whether it be here, youtube, or reddit. I'm grateful more than you know. I started out sharing my thoughts and videos because it made me happy but then I started realizing it was making others happy too and I feel like this year has been a blessing getting to know such wonderful people that are part of this big community of otome, manga, and anime lovers. I know I'm older than most but age means nothing to me and I enjoy it as much as everyone else. You could even say it saved my life this year. Again thank you from the bottom of my heart and I hope going forward those who do love my ramblings, vids, fanfic I hope you stay around. Know I do none of this for followers its just nice to feel like I'm doing something that makes people happy too. So if you ever have a question, or a request feel free to ask me I will do what I can.. I am approachable I know aren't but I am. Also if you just want to chat also feel free to drop me a message.

https://www.tiktok.com/@ultppw?_t=8dxxJhUS14b&_r=1

because let me tell you their edits need to be in a museum its art its beautiful it keeps guncher alive its <i dont have the perfect words for it>

idk if you'll like it but I am sure you would but also I was hesitant to share ncoz idk I've been wanting yo share these with you for a while now but never had the balls but today they blew my mind again and I was like you need yo watch their videos and damnnn u in be the judge sorry ia m just blabbering voz kdkk nbm lemme just gooo

#I am calm now a bit

#not so high in forcebook almost wedding theme event

#i thank you for your time and keeping up wkth my weird random sometimes nnsecne rants

#okie bye

<3

op, actually, i don't have a tiktok account hehe but it's ok! i'm watching it on my laptop so it's fine.

i'm currently watching the videos. oh my, God! this one. ceilings is one of my all-time favourite songs and this creator used it for topmew? it's already in my topmew playlist but lord seeing someone using it for them breaks my heart even more :(

this one teared me up because i just LOVE guncher cuddling on that big bed of gun's and just looking so happy and warm and sated <'3

this one is so sweet :( i like when creators utilise cher and tian's past relationship as something that helps cher grow into the devoted, loving (yet still endearingly silly) man he is :') it's just so wonderful cher loved tian in the past, and cher loves gun in the future; his feelings for them both are so strong and sincere. :(

goodness this one :( i've discussed silence with guncher before but gun specifically is the epitome of silence. his sadness is so quiet and behind the scenes that i feel almost everyone can relate with him :( it's so heartbreaking...

this one makes me really sad (the good kind) because it's one of my favourite songs and all clips are some of my favourite guncher clips (especially the ep 12 part 2 kiss) oh my oh my :(

THE SONG? THE CLIPS? THIS CREATOR IS SO TALENTED WAHHH <'3 <'3 <'3

this remains as some of the best confessions to date! and gun's smol 'huh?' will always wreck me AHHHHH cher, you're the man! you're a rockstar!

BUTTERFLIES!!! goodness. this one is insane. the tension! CRAZY

ok, i've watched all their videos, op. goodness. i wanted to jump off my bed to the floor SO MANY times. all edits are amazing! and i'm not a swiftie, but all her songs suit guncher in so many different ways.

now, do i have to make a tiktok account? hahahaha

thanks for recommending this person's page, op! i enjoyed every video immensely.

#i hope you'll have a good day/night ahead! #thanks for always making my day with forcebook-related things #i'm thankful #personal #na answers

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.

That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.

That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.

That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.

That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.

That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.

That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.

None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.

I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.

If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.

Celebrate fan work!

To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.

#unforth rambles #this wasn't really prompted by anything #I'm just sick and tired and distractable #or i should say it wasn't prompted by anything recent or that happened now #like no one has disrespected me #but as i hit the point that it's regularly taking me an hour plus every single day to queue things for the danmei art blogs #i just think of all the times people go WAIT YOU RUN ALL OF THOSE??? BY YOURSELF??? #like i just don't think a lot of people realize how much work it is to really do background fandom labor long term #and i appreciate places like rec blogs and networks and events and just everyone #y'all are awesome #thank you so much

"mithrun is the only real monsterfucker in dungeon meshi" is objectively the funniest bit you can get out of his everything, but in all seriousness i think his attraction to his love interest is deliberately overstated—and that makes sense, because romantic jealousy is a classic and digestible motive, which is explicitly what kabru was aiming for in condensing mithrun's backstory, and also because until chapter 94, mithrun wasn't willing to admit to the true nature of his desires.

but because romantic envy is both classic and digestible, it probably isn’t a unique enough or complicated enough desire to tempt a demon’s appetite. mithrun’s wish, as far as we can figure from kabru’s reduced retelling, was to have a life in which he had never become one of the canaries, and that carries like 3857 implications and desires within it. that’s delicious. his love interest acts as sort of a red herring to his motivation for making it, though. (side note: i'm saying "love interest" here because, keeping in mind that i barely speak japanese on a good day anymore, "想い人" is something i'd usually take as just kind of an old-fashioned and romantic way to refer to a lover, but in context i wonder if both the connotation of yearning and the vagueness are intentional, and i think this phrasing gets those aspects of it more effectively. anyway.)

mithrun considered his love interest to be untrustworthy. there was a minute where i thought that comment might be about a similar-looking elf (yugin, one of his squad members), but comparing the two…

the "sketchy" arrow is definitely referring to the elf we know as his love interest—the bangs go toward her right, she only has the one forehead ornament, and, most notably, her ears aren't notched.

every time she’s given a full-body depiction in his dungeon, she’s drawn as a chimera, with the body of a snake from the waist down. (side note: the “what if a dungeon has chimeras before reaching level 4?”/“then the dungeon lord is unstable” exchange just being mithrun grilling his past self alive is so funny. he’s so. but anyway) there are a couple things about this.

first, the snake part of the chimera appears to be modeled after some species of coral snake mimic

which, in the biology-for-fun manga, i… doubt is a coincidence, especially with the added context of the “untrustworthy” comment. the dungeon’s conjured illusion of mithrun’s love interest was a harmless copycat of a venomous original. for whatever reason, he felt this person was a threat and made up a "safe" version of her to be in a relationship with, and while it’s definitely possible to be attracted to or even love someone you find to be toxic and/or intimidating, when you take that into consideration alongside the configuration of her body, you get some interesting implications.

which brings us to our second point: if we assume that mithrun was not in fact fucking a snake, then sexual attraction, at least, was so far removed from his idea of a relationship with this person that he did not even bother to keep her dungeon copy human enough to maintain the illusion of the option of a sexual relationship. this is somewhat echoed in the depictions of their interactions, which also imply a frankly unexpected romantic distance. she kisses his cheek and he doesn't seem to react; she's at the edge of a narrow bed with only one set of pillows, on top of his blankets while he's underneath them.

the kiss is particularly interesting because it seems to contrast the text. kabru's narration tells us this was everything mithrun could have asked for, but mithrun is there looking unreadable to pensive, likely because this is right before the panel that makes it clear things in the dungeon are beginning to go wrong.

walking through this backwards for a minute, we have the physical barrier of his bedding and the spatial separation inherent in a bed made for one person, the emotional barrier of his mounting anxiety getting in the way of his ability to enjoy the affection he sought, and... the snake, which historically carries the connotation of temptation, yes, but also mistrust, barring physical intimacy. okay. ok. if a dungeon reflects the mentality of its lord, all of this might suggest that mithrun was not able to have any real desire for a relationship with this person. his unwillingness to be vulnerable or let another person in was insurmountable. but in that case, why was she such a focal point that she remained to the end, after his dungeon had stopped creating iterations of his friends to come and visit him? why would he get so upset over her meeting with his brother that he became lord of a dungeon about it?

well. mithrun's brother was also interested in her, probably genuinely. and mithrun had to win.

you have an older brother who your parents completely ignore, probably in part because he is chronically ill/disabled and almost definitely in part because he received a ton of recessive traits that resulted in rumors that he was an illegitimate child. you are aware, most likely because those same parents fucking told you, that you actually are an illegitimate child. but they keep you around because you had the good fortune of looking just like your mother. what can that possibly teach you but that you, like your brother, are disposable?

it's utterly unsurprising that mithrun, under these circumstances, developed a pathological need to be better than everyone around him. people don't keep you otherwise. i'd argue this is also why he says he looked down on everyone he knew while milsiril claims his dungeon reeked of feelings of inferiority—he sought out people's worst traits and prioritized them in his mind to protect his already extremely fragile sense of self-worth, and all the while he tried to be as likable and high-performing as he possibly could be. his parents disposed of him anyway, but even then he tried to keep up the performance. he was kind to everyone. he never once lost to a dungeon.

when he saw his "love interest" meeting up with his brother, what he saw was himself being replaced by a person his parents had always treated as worthless, and if that was what they thought of the child they'd kept, what value could anyone possibly see in the bastard they'd given away to die? mithrun and kabru tell the story like he wanted to win this unnamed elf's heart, but it was never about being with her. it was about cementing his worth, proving that he didn't deserve to be thrown away.

and so it's particularly cruel that his demon discarded him, too. but maybe it's also particularly gentle that, in the end, there was someone who refused to even consider giving up on him.

kui laid it out in three panels better than i could hope to.

yeah. it's love. you wanted to be loved, even when the only way you were able to understand it was through the desire to be wanted, and you wanted that so badly that the idea of being consumed felt like the promise of finally mattering to someone.
