and i hate when white fans of the series can understand the idea of fantasy racism but not actual racism that takes place in the series. they get so mad when someone discusses the idea of laios having like an ignorant or racist mindset. and I think it is very weird how some bring up the fact that he is autistic to “excuse” his behavior towards toshiro and borderline forgets about it. as someone who is black and neurodivergent is frustrating when white people neurodivergent overtake these conversations and forget that autistic people of color can exist and how they would relate to the show and what is discussed.
I love the variety of looks between members of the same race that is displayed in Dungeon Meshi. THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE!
Edit (17.02.2024):
HOLY SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT DWARVEN CHART! I have no idea how I did because I'm pretty sure I saved all charts on my desktop before posting them. I guess tumblr didn't process the image and it got lost.
I can't really read nor study Japanese writing, so this is pure intuition and a bit of a guessing game.
Though to be honest I thought that these were the gangs as babies but Izutsumi wasn't there and it's a Gnome. So I guess this is Ryoko Kui's race baby templates - cause that's how Marcille and Laios were drawn. They're really cute.
no offence but the reason tumblr is “dying” is, well, yes, of course the cursed like/reblog ratio and the change in user behaviour (because of people being used to how instagram and tiktok work) BUT also the lack of weekly shows. i say it with my whole chest, they don't produce captivating and engaging stupid weekly tv shows anymore because streaming killed that so you have spikes of activity here when Something happens in general fandom or up to three days after a new season of whatever drops and then it's a wasteland. this is obviously an old woman yelling at a cloud missing supernatural and the vampire diaries and pretty little liars and all these other shows type of post but honestly give me back weekly tv shows where i have something to watch for 40 minutes almost every day of the week after work so then i can read and reblog it on tumblr give it back for the sake of my sanity
