How do you feel about Dungeon Meshi (i think i spelt that right) getting more popular? I feel like i’ve only seen u post about it but now its popping up a lot more on my twt / tiktok
Mixed feelings! Glad it has an anime now and that ppl are enjoying it, because its really good!
I myself think its annoying when ppl are like "im gatekeeping x media bc its important to me 😡" so thats not how I feel on the other end. It has impacted lots of ppl so if it can get a bigger reach and impact more, thats good. ^_^
if i did not have the time or energy or resources to read it, I would've hated feeling alienated just bc it became a favorite media of mine after the anime came out
Its more like. Idk.
I know ppl who hope it gets Bigger for more official merch but I just don't want it to get Embarrassing ykwim.
I need it to not get so popular that in a few years I'm hiding the volumes from my shelf because its an embarrassing, beat to death thing thats present in every store, backpack, socks, sweater that looks like characters clothing, funko pops, etc. something i cant even enjoy anymore bc its been wrung dry and overexposed and misinterpreted, "of course u like it EVERYONE likes it!" and now I'm tired of it, and wouldn't want ppl to associate me with it LOL 🧿🧿🧿

Back when I had no followers and didn't understand the tagging system I did this thing called Fic Recs Friday's that no one saw where I shared a fic from my bookmarks and just gushed abpit a fic i loved (the first one was Penumbra by @/heartfulselkie BTW. Every ML fan should read Penumbra by @/heartfulselkie thnx)
I've been thinking about doing it again cause there's sooooo many great fics and I just want to scream about them so would folks be interested? Right now would mostly be mdzs and mxtx cause that's just what I'm reading right now also I might not make every Friday adfghjkll
