The thought that goes into the fake science in dungeon meshi can be something so special actually. Using golems to explain crop rotation and how removing predators from an ecosystem can have knock-on effects. Talking about symbiotic relationships and parasites too! And characters are actually interested in the science so they keep explaining about it. Finally, some exposition I can get behind.

#I tried to google to see if the author had any bio/chem/agriculture qualifications but no luck with a brief search #but like. just from reading up to early vol 2 I'm seeing so many lines where the in-universe science draws from rl #this is so much better than Kill the Moon aka the ep of dw that was so bad on science it made me drop the series for years #(admittedly the really bad abortion metaphor also contributed towards that decision but shhh)#dungeon meshi #I should maybe make a readthrough tag but I feel like if I do that I'm going to intimidate myself out of reading

I forget who in bookclub mentioned this (pls call yourself out and I'll @ you with credit in this post), but someone pointed out that we don't know if anyone knows what Meryl went through. What she knows. Wolfwood has a conversation with her earlier, but it's just about what Vash is, probably clueless as to their shared memories. Vash doesn't give any hints he has any idea what she's witnessed--he's so fearful of what he is and what he's capable of, it's possible he doesn't know what his powers are. Eventually, at the very earliest, it's seven months from now before we see her admit aloud what she's seen. And, hell. With how much Wolfwood and Vash tuck away and don't talk about, why would she feel like she could talk about it?

And yet, despite all that. Despite having trauma unlike anything she's ever known in her life before. Despite having trauma that no human should have to bear. Despite not being sure what to even do with that, with herself, with Vash (who she's seen witness and commit unspeakable horrors!). She still chooses kindness. She still chooses love and peace. She still chooses Vash.

We see a lot of people handle their trauma in really shitty ways in this story; in many ways, it's a story deeply about trauma. And Meryl, isolated and afraid and with this pain fresh within her, doesn't turn away from what she knows is good and worth saving on this hellhole planet. And, idk, I think that's beautiful, and I love her for it.

#Trigun #TrigunBookclub #Trigun Meta #Listen the jokes about being traumatized by chicken Vash are HILARIOUS #But my girl is handling this so well considering #And beautifully #She shouldn't HAVE to bear it #But she shows that you CAN #Regardless of whether you deserve what happened to you (no one ever does)#And how much fear and pain comes with it #I feel like the magnitude of this was lost on my first readthrough #And it's not perfect #BUT #I SAID WHAT I SAID AND I MEANT IT

Realistically, I know this shot is probably more about Vash's ability to look at someone who has stolen his identity to terrorize a town without flinching or compromising his ideals, but. I just feel like. Eriks is running from Vash the Stampede. Of course, he's literally pretending not to be him for safety reasons, and tons of people have already pointed out how he resists the image people put on him as a bloodthirsty monster/weapon. Wolfwood has to convince him he needs to 'become' Vash the Stampede again. But I feel like on a more fundamental level, he hates himself and is trying to erase himself. And it's obvious in retrospect, but I didn't realize on my first readthrough that the chapter's theme of him trying to run away from his past is symbolized by him being chased by a literal doppelgänger

#trigun #trigunbookclub #on my first readthrough I was so overwhelmed by the cringe of pretending to be someone to that person's face #that I don't think anything else really registered lolol

s3 will have rand & elayne interacting, rand & aviendha interacting, mat & elayne interacting, and almost certainly elayne & aviendha interacting, it will hopefully have cauthor cpr, it will have gawyn, and if i'm very very lucky it might even have egwene & gawyn interacting. all of my very topmost anticipated and favorite things will be arriving in s3 (bar the most anticipated and favorite thing of all, elayne, who already blessed us with her presence in s2). the first 2 seasons made me crazy enough, but s3 might just finish me off entirely. the prospect of receiving all of my Favorite WOT Things in one season is almost too overwhelming to contemplate. AAAAAHHHHH

#oh and i guess s3 will also have some iconic plot events but all of that is extremely secondary to MY Favorite WOT Things #you all followed along with my readthrough posts you know very well what my priorities are djkfg #wot #wot book spoilers

btw for reference Here are all the spoiler glimpses of beatrice's form i've been accidentally exposed to for the sake of transparency and also so you can know how surreal/funny it is for me to be unravelling the meaning of this vicious murderwitch in canon while also seeing occasional iceberg tips of what seems to be some kind of extremely thorough and comprehensive blorbo memeification going on. i think you guys are doing some breaking bad fandom shit to this woman.

#umineko liveblog #one's the icon of the exe file of the game so unavoidable #and one was a random pfp so only having two legit spoilers sent my way isn't a bad track record #pointedly Not thinking too deeply about any of this to not ruin anything for myself #but i will say i'm very amused by how beatrice is seemingly presented as this whimsical jester-like figure who is pro trans rights #very funny considering her only confirmed action in the story was to viciously and spitefully murder a dysphoric twink (kanon)#how fake trans rights beatrice fans look when a REAL murderwitch rocks up #none of this is influencing my thinking since it's obviously all out of context Jokes with no basis in canon #but i think the discrepancy between the presentation of beatrice in the text (elusive haunting horror figure)#and the presentation of beatrice in this limited slice of fandom memes (silly girl. trans ally?) is baffling and fascinating #of course it shouldn't need saying but do NOT discuss anything about this where i can see it #i'm still god knows how long away from beatrice showing up. and probably way further away from understanding even half of these jokes #this is just a curiosity i'm stating for the record and not an invitation for discussion for a long while yet #also bets on whether or not i will see yet another accidental beatrice spoilerimage before i get to the real deal in my readthrough lmao

Don’t mind me, I’m just over here getting emotional about the relationship between Kageyama and Sugawara. They just have so much mutual respect for one another and instead of giving them the antagonistic rivalry that he very easily could have, Furudate made sure they bolstered one another and provided key aspects of support that the other needed to grow as a setter, teammate, and person…!

#if you can’t tell #I’m doing my first readthrough of the manga #and I loved everyone in the show #but it’s really amplified when I can read and absorb all the little nuances at my own pace #haikyuu #hq #kageyama tobio #sugawara koushi
