PLEASE TUMBLR PLEASE

there’s something sooo sickening about how dunmeshis whole energy is like sometimes something terrible and awful happens to you and it changes you forever and nothing can make you the person you were before but there’s still love and there’s still sharing a meal together and there’s still living

anyways while senshi is canonically a feminine elf mithrun is canonically a masculine one since like senshi with all his alternate race appearances making him look more cute and feminine mithruns other race appearances have him as an absolute hunk of a man like kabru is fucking teaching self care to a middle aged veteran who sometimes says racist shit like you think kabru ever sighed and was like 'lets get you to bed soldier you're talking nonsense about half foots again"

long time no thistle postibg.... who else up thinking about thistle and delgal running in a nice field on a sunny day just having a good ol time... god

Dungeon Meshi Volume 9 Part 3

Welcome back! Finishing up Volume 9!

What's with the random snake on the cover? There weren't even any snakes in this volu- wait.

Mithrun, that's rude.

And coming from someone like Kabru, that's saying something.

There's a really fun extra where Mithrun complains that Kabru cut out all the bits leading to the punchline. While it's partially true that Kabru simplified it so people would understand, I like to think Kabru cut out Mithrun's deeper motivations and desires to maintain his privacy. People don't need to know that. Even if Mithrun doesn't care, Kabru still treats him with basic respect.

It's rather heartwarming how much these two come to respect each other. I'm not sure if either of them has ever had anyone treat them as an equal.

See? He's laughing cause that very much isn't what was really going on. No need to air out Mithrun's struggles with superiority.

You say that, but... that look in his eyes doesn't look very happy to me.

Good for him. What? What are you readers giving me that look for?

I hate the demon. I really really hate it. It acts nice, and may do nice things, but at the end of the day, it's a groomer. And a r*pist. Seriously, it is really that awful.

Ah, I see the demon is also a gacha gamer. The most evil of hobbies.

Maybe I don't get how desires work, but I feel like you wouldn't want to turn into a mushroom, because it would prevent you from getting revenge? I dunno, the rules seem pretty fuzzy.

First, why were you sitting on the other side of the portal? Second, how malnourished was Mithrun that a single week of questionable food has him looking healthier? Third, please let Fleki sleep.

On the one hand, this is probably because Laios is a direct lead to finding the demon. On the other hand, it's because he and Kabru are friends now! :D

Also, I think I figured out why this volume is only six chapters. I haven't done page counts or anything, but chapter 62 feels twice as long as a typical chapter. So I guess that leaves the anime with 1 episode worth of wiggle room.

Plausible deniability at its finest.

I don't know how, but I really hope this makes it into the anime. It's a really important bit of Chilchuck characterization.

And that's it for volume 9! Hope you enjoyed, because next time we're headed right for the heart of the dungeon. With plenty of dramatic irony! We may want to rip the lion a new one, but our hapless heroes have no idea the danger they're in! See you!

heyaaa dr meshi!!!

I wonder if u have this picture of these two in a better quality, I'm making a falin wallpaper for my zap zap hehehe

Oiii!

The image is pretty small on the page to be fair :/

I know there's a version without Kabru hair covering Falin's sleeve but I haven't been able to find it. Only in this sparkly gif (Maybe you like it?)

edit: as soon as I posted I remembered where it was, cover of daydream hour 5

Im too exausted for proper(ish) essays, but im so crazy over this scene. i can't contain myself

TW for: S/A !!! (For the nature of the writing and well—the scene itself)

He's confused at first. he doesn't know what is going on. This slight pause isn't because he's scared or frozen but to assess the situation. After all It was kinda sudden.

All he doesn't like this feeling. he feels uncomfortable and that some sort of boundry has been breached. But he hasn't fully processed it yet.

And right before he fully comprehends and does something about it—

He suddenly becomes compliant?

It's like he forgot what he was gonna do—like He loses the motivation to enforce his boundaries.

he still feels uncomfortable. that doesn't change. But he isnt aware of that. Well, that makes sense... since he never really did fully process what was happening. It's like he lost the will to care about or process it.

This panel. Christ... Thistle finally builds up the power to say stop. It's weak—confused and disoriented. I dont think it's even directed to anything specifically. Its intentions are vague.

But god... and the lion's response? Reassurance. how he can't help it, he needs this to live, he's been waiting for so long—oh, and don't worry, I'll take care of you.

Its just so chilling.

Thistle's powerless, weak, and complaicent. It's out of character for thistle. This entire scene is. However It's still thistle. His behavior and actions are his own, and for me that's the terrifying part.

This wasn't... Forced? There's no fighting and thrashing— Its just a complete submission. he didn't resist. he didn't fight back even if he had the ability to (we know bc he has, for 1000 years in fact). The lion didn't directly force him either. It didn't violently force him to have its way. But it's still violating. And that's the thing; the assult wasnt violent, but passive.

The demon has slowly but surely torn down thistle's sense of self so much it turned him into a completely different person. Like his identity was shattered and rebuilt to submit.

It starts small, building up the situation, taking away his desire to resist and enforce his boundaries, then it gives a rose tinted explanation of what is happening. Finally, it comforts and praises him. This is what gives thistle the illusion of choice, a passive way of getting him vulnerable.

You can see how it affected him vividly through this part. it's like he forgets what he was fighting for. He forgets his boundaries, his identity, the things he cares about, everything. It's being ripped away from him.

Thistle never stood a chance.

It wasn't his fault he submitted. It was the demon's for putting him in that state. His complaicency is due to the fact that he had no power for any other way.

it never mattered that thistle never fought back. Even if he did fight back or didn't, even if he succeeded or not—what then? it would never change the demon's nature. One who seeks consumption will always consume. In other words; it will always find a way.

I honestly dont think it was the demon's intention to harm thistle. It's selfish but not moralisticly evil (nothing ever is). It seeks fulfillment and not suffering. But its blind pursuit for satisfaction caused suffering, That's what makes it malicious. It doesn't matter if he intented or was aware of it or not. the demon benefited from something that could harm him and did it despite that. And that will never change.
