Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the dungeon meshi animation style is changing very quickly? Like the first few episodes are great in their style, and all the episodes have beautiful animation and story but I have noticed it has gotten really playful. Like exaggerating the models way more than just for good smears and action.
Tumblr media
like this insane chilchuck took up the screen for SEVERAL SECONDS. I want to stress that this is not critique at all I just find it fascinating. It's like you can see the team quickly fall into a rhythm and find a style they all enjoy over these first 8 episodes. The way the characters emote and sometimes look in general is borderline unrecognizable from ep one and I've never seen an animation style change so quickly in a show's run. I would like to think it's indicative of the crew having fun because that makes me happy to think about. I don't know why you would go this hard on the animation in both the serious and the silly worlds if it wasn't for the fun of it.

Dungeon Meshi Anime Season 1, Episode 6 Review
Not a lot to say this week, sorry the post is a bit late! I think this episode was fantastic, probably the best episode since #3.
There were some wonderful animation moments, and Trigger clearly has an easier time keeping Chilchuck on model than Laios, since Chilchuck's proportions are closer to their usual characters (big eyes, big round head, small nose, small chin).
Marcille and Chilchuck's banter is sooooo cute to see play out in animated form. They're hilariously funny together and a joy to watch, one of the major highlights of the early part of the manga for sure.
Honestly my only complaint, and this was a complaint I had in the manga too, is that the interior of the castle inside the paintings looks shockingly bare and empty. Get some tapestries on those walls so the baby doesn't freeze to death!!!!
But I get it, drawing buildings and interiors and researching period appropriate furnishings is a lot of work for something that goes by so fast, so I do not blame anyone for not doing it... just makes me a little sad because I know Kui loves historical details and world culture, so it feels like a missed opportunity to really flesh things out and make the world feel more lived-in and whole.
English dub was fantastic, no bad script choices this time, great acting. Japanese subtitles are still lackluster, but Japanese voice performances were great anyway.
Pacing was also good, neither section felt rushed at all, and every part of the story had room to breathe.
Can't wait for next week!!!

Delicious In Dungeon Episode 2: Basilisk Omelet/Kakiage
Tumblr media
While I like refinement and quality as much as the next guy, it's something that is inevitably possible for any high level studio to deliver upon. Style is a totally different question, and I was disappointed when the first episode lacked that decisive Trigger Touch. Thankfully, this episode delivers on it in spades and gives me lots to chat about!
Of course, I could spend an entire post chatting about Marcille because she's just so damn funny. Her reactions and overall demeanor are just as hilarious in anime, and her voice actor (much like the rest of the cast) near perfectly embodies her Marcille.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyways, more to the point. I think Trigger bringing more of their studio's style into the anime is a great thing, and not just because I really like it.
Exaggeration and excessive animation work great to sell humor, and I think anyone could take one look at Delicious In Dungeon's comedy and come to the understanding that Trigger's style is arguably the best suited to expressing that comedy.
Sharp and fast movement, almost a disregard for character models, and plenty of freedom in terms of art style all culminate in an effort meant to draw the most amount of humor out of each sequence.
Tumblr media
The second reason that allowing Trigger to express their style within Delicious In Dungeon works well is that it balances the episodes. If you're funny 24/7 you're not as funny as you could be. If you're giving 100% the whole time, the effect isn't as effective. Bringing more of Trigger's style in helps balance the more reserved and refined aspects of the series. It helps sell the great and subtle character acting that you see in certain sequences, it helps draw viewers in to the more methodic cooking scenes. It just adds a great deal of variance and value to the episode that, much like Senshi's argument about nutrition while in the dungeon, focuses on rounding out the episode and providing a more 'whole' feeling.
And really, I don't have much of anything to say with the episode past that. I've read Delicious In Dungeon front to back multiple times so there's not really anything new for me in the anime, and I think the direction and boarding more than speaks for itself. I wouldn't quite say there's really any sort of strong identity being expressed with the layouts and whatnot, but I'd definitely say they're still very good layouts. It's just one of those things where it's plain good, and there's not a whole lot else to it. Some might see that as an issue, but I don't really take any offense to it. Trigger's very clearly trying to let the mangaka's effort take center stage with this adaptation, and it's working more than well enough for the time being. I'm still very interested to see how the more action heavy sequences play out in future episodes though.

i was brainrotting about kabumisu and was like "wait what if the entire canary squad traded kabru around" and went muahaha anyway here's the first chapter

Summary: The Golden Country is experiencing some diplomatic troubles with the Elves of the West. King Laios hasn't a clue how to dissolve tensions--or anything about international politics, for that matter--but luckily for him, Kabru volunteers to be an emissary to the rivaling country.
Once arrived, Kabru meets with Captain Mithrun and his Canaries. After arrangements are made with the Queen Immortal, Mithrun (in no part due to Cithis' influence, assuredly) grants Kabru permission to stay in the Canary lodge while he's in the country.
Read on AO3
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1
“We’re gonna have a problem if they keep blocking the Carinagin Straits.”
Kabru opens his eyes; King Laios still has his head in his hands, elbows stilted on the table, fingers ruffling his short hair. Kabru sighs, taking another once-over of the map of the Western Seas that Marcille projects from her staff.
“It’s not like we can just threaten them,” the old gnome guy states—Kabru forgot his name. “After all they did for us, it would be in bad taste, don’t you think, my Lord?”
“The blockade is in bad taste,” groans Laios, still prone.
Marcille’s eyes dart to and fro. Kabru gets her; he doesn’t care, either.
“The elves are just miffed,” Kabru says, “that the Golden Land is a rising superpower. The same thing happened between the Tlanglaloc and Ulmen kingdoms in the thirteenth century.”
Laios looks up. “What’re those ones?”
The gnome sighs, subtly. “Tallman and dwarf kingdoms. Ancient history. The trade war between them was a major factor in the Western Mercenary Wars.”
“The what?”
“Oh my gods, Lord Laios— ”
“If I may,” Kabru starts, presenting to them a well-procured grin. “History doesn’t tend to repeat, but it does rhyme. The Ulmen-Tlanglaloc trade war shouldn’t serve as a model for our current situation quite yet. Things have yet to escalate that far, sir.”
“Yeah, what he said,” Laios deflates. 
“So what, then? We send an emissary?” The gnome crosses his arms. 
“Yeah… Yeah!” Laios springs up, startling a sleepy-eyed Marcille. “We can send Mr. Tansu!”
Right, his name’s Tansu.
Tansu clenches his jaw. “My Lord, I never agreed to any of this.”
“Oh? Are you going against your king?” Kabru smiles.
“Quiet.”
“No, no, if he doesn’t wanna…” Laios groans and falls back down to the table.
Kabru perks over the king. Laios looks up at him.
“What about you?”
“Sorry, my Lord?”
“You. Kabru. You know that elf guy, right? The Canary.”
“Mithrun.”
“Yeah, him.”
“The Canaries are present at the Straits,” Tansu notes, scritching his chin.
Laios perks up again, more relieved. “You can talk to them!”
“M’Lord, I hardly think I qualify—”
“Y-You don’t have to, but please!” 
Then, Laios Touden, the Lord Sovereign of the Golden Country, Demonkiller, Devourer of Unpleasantries,  falls from his chair prostrates before Kabru, wilting down to the bricklaid floor and hugging his shins. Kabru’s brow tightens; Marcille and Mr. Tansu watch on, completely perplexed. 
“Ehh, sir…”
“Please! Please! I don’t wanna deal with this anymore.”
“L-Laios…” Marcille’s eyebrow twitches. 
Kabru looks around. It’s true—whenever Mithrun and his Canaries come to visit, they always begin and end on good terms. It’s always a treat having him and the elves over at his place after a round of dialogues at the castle. Kabru has learned a lot from Senshi, and Mithrun has always been a willing test subject. 
Out of bed, too, like with new recipes and stuff.
Kabru beckons back his salesman smile, and lays a soft hang on King Laios’ trembling shoulder. “Oh, Lord Sovereign,” he says, “of course I will.”
“Of course he will,” mutters Tansu. Kabru chucks a daggerous glare in his direction.
“Are you sure?” Marcille says. “The Western elves have a habit of skinning diplomats.”
“Again, ancient history. Tallmen have evolved from being savage vikings, why haven’t the Western elves?”
“No, this still happens in the modern day, like—”
“Marcille.”
“Sorry.”
Laios holds Kabru, tears streaming from his eyes. Kabru laughs, faintly, and pats his King’s back. He supposes he feels bad for Laios, having to deal with all of this.
*
It was a hackneyed operation, but Kabru was comfortable. He was relatively swift in preparing his things in the usual manner, and, as usual, King Laios was accommodating to his needs. 
The boat left at dawn. With magic, the journey was six weeks. Now, as Kabru stirs in his cabin, he feels a massive hammy palm slap on his back. He shuffles under the thin covers and looks up, bearing the sharp sun, as one of the sailors shakes him awake. The beefy dwarf walks away, making up for the deck, and Kabru rubs his eyes. 
He steps out to the surface. The Western elven capital crowns the deep emerald country, the volcanic Mount Ingli spooling tufts of smoke over golden spires. The boat nears steadily the straight wooden port, the white cliffs carved away for a massive cothon containing hundreds of ships.  
He steps off onto the short pier, lagging behind the gang of dwarven seamen who’d escorted him through the roiling sea to the Northwestern shore. The dwarf captain looks back for Kabru, who catches up to him with his things in tow. 
Kabru slouches in pompous emissary wear and a large, hefty backpack, the leather straps girdled around his chest. The sinking sun casts a long shadow of his snail form on the hardwood boards. 
Kabru and the captain walk side by side. “Careful around these parts,” tells the dwarf captain in perfect Goldenlander. “The elves have ways of getting what they want.”
“I’ll be fine, Gulwen.”
He waves goodbye to the dwarves and takes his things up the dock to the waterfront. Magical chariots crash by the road on shivering wheels with golden spokes, and from the marketfronts blistering shells jingle in the slight summer breeze. Kabru brushed up on his history: In the Kingdom of Cadarnle, those special seashells used to be the primary form of currency. The practice is still upheld to some degree—albeit, mostly for tourists. 
“What are you doing here, Kabru?”
Kabru flips around to see a shawl sitting on the stone wall before the ocean. The black shawl is unkempt, busy with stains and old stitches.
“I thought I told you to get a new one,” Kabru frowns.
Mithrun glowers at him darkly from under his hood.
“Don’t wanna be seen out here, I take it?”
“I have unfinished business with these people.”
“Who, the merchants?”
“The mercantiles.” Mithrun quivers. “Milked me for every last cent. When they found out who I am…”
“What’s wrong with merchants? They keep the whole world running.” 
Kabru gives him a smile. Mithrun, as usual, doesn’t return the favor.
“Easy for you to say, Goldenlander,” Mithrun scowls. “You people are members of the global north—the bourgeoisie. You only serve to benefit from global capitalism.”
“Oh gods, he’s also been getting into Orgodism,” Kabru mutters.
“Orgodism is BASED and REDPILLED!”
“Can we not do this right now?” Kabru unfolds the decree from King Laios and shows it to Mithrun. “You know why I’m here. I have business at the Citadel.”
Mithrun’s face relaxes, and he sighs. “Sorry. Yes, Kabru, I’ll take you. Come along.”
They proceed up the road, weaving through the city and its people, granted passage by standing guards along the way. They cross onto Royal Avenue, at once pristine and bustling, freckled with market stalls, horses, strangers in odd regalia, and glistening upperclassmen along the polished marble stone. This road isn’t meant for carriages: Garden islands thatch the center where rosegold pillars hold corinthian arcs over the myriad shrubbery, where bright butterflies frolic about between the soft ivies. Kabru watches as he and Mithrun pass a mother letting her children run about in the plants, no doubt disregarding the rules dictating otherwise, and the glowing butterflies that land on their noses. He smiles at them, genuinely this time. A kid waves back before his mother snatches him away at the sight of a passing guardsman.
Kabru meets Mithrun’s handler at the foot of the great bridge. Cithis towers over him, looking down with bladed fox eyes, fool’s gold scars glinting in the setting sunlight. She turns to Mithrun: “You brought him back in one piece.” 
Mithrun stays quiet. Kabru realizes that was meant for him. “Ah, yeah, he did well.”
Cithis regards him, cradling her chin in her talons. “Your analysis, emissary?”
“Uh… Full marks? The shawl could use some fixing.”
“That’s his favorite shawl.” She leans close, startling Kabru with a cold warmth on his ear; ”You should see him carrying it around, teething on it—”
“Quiet,” snaps Mithrun from ahead.
Cithis titters by and leaves Kabru despondent.
“Sorry about her,” Mithrun says, very loudly, from the front.
Cithis just smiles.
They wait for a while in the Iron Citadel. In Kabru’s reading he’s come to know the full history of this place—a stalwart stronghold against the half-mythical mynydd-dir, savage nomads from Cadarnle’s founding legend. Obviously inspired by the extinct orc population, Kabru knows, and a tad bit distasteful. Thank Falin and the orcs for instilling that sense of morality in him.
Now, it seems that a separate kingdom of orcs has scheduled a meeting with the Queen before him. 
“It’ll take a while,” Cithis tells him, smiling eerily. She pats the spot mahogany seat next to her, one of the hundred lining the pristine walls. 
It is, indeed, a while. Gradually Kabru starts to droop, holding his head in his upturned fist, as Mithrun sits undisturbed by his side. On the other end, Cithis sits looking at the bare palms of her hands; it takes Kabru a good minute of watching her just staring to finally ask, “What’re you doing, Cith?”
“... Cith?” She turns to him. 
“Can I call you that?”
“No.”
“Okay. Sorry. Why are you looking at your hands?”
She looks back at them, ear flitting. “Magic.”
“Like… illusions?”
“Yeah.”
Kabru shuffles closer. “Isn’t that dangerous?”
“How would it be dangerous?”
“I was taught in school that too much exposure to illusion magic can drive one insane.”
“Only the lesser races. Elves are more pure, so we can persist.”
“A-Ah… That’s, uh…” Kabru chuckles sheepishly.
Cithis blinks, then shrugs, “It’s true.”
“Cith, stop being racist,” Mithrun says.
“Sorry, I can't help it with my obvious superiority.”
“I’m inclined to agree with your captain, Cithis,” Kabru says.
Cithis wrinkles her nose at him. Kabru just keeps on smiling.
They’re interrupted by an elf woman pushing out of the great court and through the procession of orcs crowding the waiting hall. They each suddenly look up to see Pattadol panting, gripping her fairy near-lethally in her fist. “Sorry I’m late!” she huffs. 
“Ah, Pattadol,” Kabru rises and gives her his hand. She takes it and shakes it ricketedly. 
“Pattadol,” Mithrun regards her. “Your cabinmate was just being violently racist towards the Golden emissary.”
Pattadol looks at Cithis.
Cithis crosses her arms. “I wasn’t violent.”
“Ahaha, ignore her!” Pattadol waves her hand. “But it’s so great to see you again! How is your king?”
“Doing well. As you can probably guess, this whole conundrum with the blockade has him very distressed.”
“And the half-blood?” Pattadol asks.
“Isn’t that also racist?” commentates Cithis.
“It’s a microaggression so it’s not as bad,” Kabru says.
“Microaggressions are actually still pretty bad.”
“How would you know this, Cithis?” Mithrun says.
“Sounds like something a human would say.”
“Well, you aren’t wrong.”
“ANYWAYS—” Pattadol shouts, startling the rest—”How’s Marcy? Duwiau uchod, I’ve been dying to see her again.”
“She’s good! Her progress on the passive dungeon has been hasty. Some of the villagers have even been able to partly domesticate her basilisks.”
“Ooh, splendid, splendid!”
Mithrun and Cithis glower at Kabru threateningly.
He laughs. “Don’t worry, we have it under control.”
“If anything goes wrong, Kabru…”
“Ahahaha, you guys!” Pattadol waves them away.
A marble lift descends from the high mezzanine across from them. The alabaster platform, powered by advanced magicry, hums as it hovers slowly down, and from its flat surface steps an obsidian-skinned needlepick elf. They motion their hand forward; “This way, emissary.”
Kabru and the Canaries accompany the elf up to the citadel’s higher floors. A copper bell mounted on the contraption’s upholstery rings pleasantly, and the ivory doors slide open, revealing a plush, manifold garden, unfolding before them like an immaculately colored quilt. The same butterflies of light from the roads below flutter about the white ornamental fountain craning at the undergrowth’s center, webbed with prim paths of light brickwork. 
“You may wait here until the Queen Immortal is prepared,” the elf guide says. “No guest of her’s should’st wait with the unwashed masses below.”
They step out and the elf disappears back down the lift. Kabru whistles; “This is swanky.”
“‘Swanky?’” Pattadol says.
“An old tallman saying.”
Pattadol turns to Mithrun, “Is that good or bad?”
“I don’t know.”
“It’s a good thing,” returns Kabru. “Although, I wouldn’t have minded waiting down there. What’s the special occasion?”
Cithis smiles and elbows Pattadol, causing her to yelp. “Yeah, Pattadol, what’s the occasion?”
Pattadol grumbles. “Stop it, Cithis. I already get enough cachu from you all every other day.”
“Language,” Mithrun says. He addresses Kabru: “Pattadol is just a noble.”
“One of the lower rungs.”
“—Her family has certain connections. In short, she’s the reason why the Queen Immortal was open to seeing you in the first place, Kabru.”
“Ah,” Kabru turns to her. “I’m grateful, then.” He gives her a polite smile. The smile Pattadol returns is genuine, albeit faltering.
Cithis watches on, talons clicking against one another. She holds her long, damascened nails at the edge of her dress, fidgeting with her index and middle fingers. The sound they produce is crystalline. 
As they wait in the garden, Cithis keeps looking back and forth between Kabru and the other Canaries. She rubs the pad of her thumb over her metallic claws, running them over like a washboard. 
Kabru pulls out a knitting set. A knitting set! He knits! And he just sits there humming and kicking his feet next to the captain while he finishes off a scarf. When he’s done he presents his creation to Mithrun, who receives it unflinchingly. Kabru helps him weave it around his neck.
Cithis sits in the shade. The great elm that shelters her bristles lightly in the magical breeze, the topaz leaves above teeming with spectral butterflies. After a moment of deliberating she stands, brushes the dust off of her skirt, and walks over to them. Kabru looks up at her while Mithrun continues handling the scarf. 
“Cute scarf,” she says.
“Is it?” Kabru smiles—that damn smile. “Apologies, it’s just that I don’t consider it my best work.”
“I think it’s fine.” Cithis crosses her arms. “Very fine.”
Pattadol watches on from afar disconcertingly. 
Kabru hums. He digs in his bag to produce another ball of yarn, and offers it to Cithis. “Feel it.”
She does so. It’s soft and scratchy.
“Yarn from Utaya,” he says. “I taught the carpenters in the Golden Country to make yarn like it. It is to your liking, madam?”
“Madam?”
“Or do you go by some other form of address?”
Again he hums, studying her.
“I appreciate how close you and Captain Mithrun have become.”
“Oh, is that it?”
“Indeed. I’ve noticed. My, I wouldn’t mind asking you to look after the good commander from time to time.”
“I don’t look after him; he puts in his own effort when I’m around.”
“I see, yes. I’m impressed that you’ve managed to push him in the right direction.”
“Can you do this somewhere else?” Mithrun says.
Kabru and Cithis stare at each other.
She pushes him into the wall with her talons around his neck. She’s so close to kissing him, the cold warmth of her breath clashing against his nose, but she doesn’t, just looks at him with eyes like falcons circling directly above, so he presents her with his signature shit-eating smile. She scowls and presses her knee into his crotch; she expects him to squirm but he remains still, before clamping his thigh around her leg, bringing her closer. 
“Really?” Kabru chuckles. “That was what got you into it?”
Cithis stabs, “It’s cute, you and Mithrun. Not like you’d understand. You’re the first person who’s gotten him to budge, as I recollect.”
“Oh? You’re his caretaker.” He snickers into his hand with slitted snake eyes. “Don’t tell me you’re jealous.”
“You little slut,” she snarls. 
She finally takes what he’s been giving her and shoves her tongue into his mouth. Her teeth and her mouth and her knee press even harder into Kabru. Further inside. She feels his erection under his linens. She tests his gag reflex and finds him worthy. 
“You must be pretty good if Mithrun is fucking you,” she says after decoupling, wiping her mouth. 
Kabru wipes his. “And you aren’t?”
“You flatter me.”
“I’m really not. He really hasn’t taken a bite out of you yet?”
“Business etiquette,” she says. “Don’t shit where you eat.”
“Oh, come on, I was getting into it.”
“And talking about babysitting Mithrun didn’t put you out of it?”
“It was hot in a responsible way. You looked good.”
“Quiet, you.”
Kabru gasps and slaps his hand over his mouth when Cithis lunges forward and bites his neck. She sucks, tongue slithering over the agitated flesh, and leaves a seething leechmark above his shoulder. Strings of spit connect them. Cithis leans upward and drags her tongue—forked, as Kabru now realizes—along his cheek, hot breath blistering the skin. 
He clasps his legs harder around the thigh on his dick. She growls.
“Your legs are stone.”
Kabru shudders, feeling the senses in his legs fall away. 
“Your arms are stone.”
Her mouth is stuck in his ear, and he can’t move away. His arms become cold and lifeless, despite the nerves screaming for motion. It makes his dick throb. 
“U-Using magic for stuff like this?” He laughs in her face. “What right does a deviant have to call me a slut?”
“Already got my ears cut, why stop while I’m ahead?”
Her tongue stabs back inside, jamming down his throat. He feels the muscle bump and swell against his uvula, her spit spilling down into his larynx. He can’t help but choke on her. Any further and she could easily reach his trachea. 
Her gilded talons dig into his sides. Her choking tongue represses the laugh that comes from the digging pain. She scratches up, no doubt leaving cuts under his clothes, until her knuckles are under his armpits. She traces around to his tits and cups them, squeezing, before clenching two fingers around one of his stinging nipples. 
She pulls back when his eyes start turning dark. He coughs, mixed saliva webbing from his mouth like mucus. “Now I know why he likes you,” Cithis pants. 
“He would if he could get it up.”
“Shut up.”
“Aw, did I just spoil him for you?”
She snatches his chin and snarls into his mouth. “Shut up or I’ll make you shut up,” she says.
She pushes her thumb into his lower lip, the tip of her nail ending just below his nose. He smirks and licks it. Cithis reaches down with her other hand and squeezes his dick through his pants. 
“Cum.”
Kabru’s mind goes numb.
“You’re cumming.” 
He bucks his hips into her hand and suppresses the moan cascading from his gullet. His arms and legs still won’t move, so he squirms between Cithis and the wall uselessly as a dark spot forms on his groin. Cithis peers down at it, self-satisfied.
“That’s a lot,” she muses, letting go of his face. Kabru slumps down, feeling the senses return to his limbs, and falls down to his knees. 
Cithis reaches down and ruffles a hand through his dark curls. “Good boy.”
She then cradles her chin in her fingers and looks ahead in thought. Kabru continues panting beneath her.
She sighs, then looks back down at him. “As for your stay in this country,” she says, “I’m sure Captain Mithrun wouldn’t mind if you stayed in our lodge. Hmm, or would you rather stay in a tavern…”
Kabru looks up. He wipes the spittle from his chin with a finger, and grins with teeth. “I’d l-love to,” he says. “Mithrun needs the company.”
“Good, good.” She whisks her hand in the air: “Ei guddio.” 
The damp mark in his pants fades away, but he can still feel it.
“Behave yourself, Kabru. You’re talking to the Queen, after all.”
Negotiating with the Queen of the Western Elves with a full wad in your pants is a harrowing experience. Doubly so when the person who magicked it out of you is standing right there, stealing glances every now and then. Pattadol, too, seemed disquieted. 
Mithrun didn’t seem to care. That is, until the meeting was over, where he asked Cithis and Kabru, “Was all that really necessary?”
“Was what?” Kabru asked, very politely.
“... Nevermind.”

KINK CONTENT DON'T LIKE DON'T READ
As promised, here I'm with my dungeon meshi headcanons part2 now its time for Senshi and Marcille
Senshi
Ok, on one hand, I think he would be very chill about generally, he sees it as just a normal bodily function and if you need to do it, you should just do it. I can even see him giving a litttle lecture on how holding it in is bad for your health and there's nothing to be ashamed of. If someone did it on accident after a meal or something, he will just smile and assure them it's fine and maybe that it's even a "compliment to the chef".
But on the other hand he canonically cares about table manners, so I would say he would get quite frustrated to see someone doing it on purpose just to be annoying, gross or funny and would also give a lecture on how that's not good and can also make you sick (the person receiving the lecture is prob Izutsumi). I would say he doesn't think excusing yourself is always necessary, but at least making an effort to muffle the sound is, especially in a dungeon.
He applies the same rules to himself, except that I do think he'll always excuse himself (its like, "other people don't have to do it but I can always be a good role model!"), but generally, if he has to burp, he'll just do it, unless he's in a formal situation or needs to be quiet. I can picture he putting a fist over his mouth and then casually excusing himself, not too worried about it.
He doesn't have any skill related to it, like doing it on command or burping words because he doesn't see the point, he finds it weird, actually, that some people would see it as a party trick or something when it's just, again, a bodily function. He would also never participate in a burping contest, unless idk he was really bored and really trying to bond with the people around him and it would still take a good amount of convincing.
Now, I don't think he would burp very often, for a variety of reasons 1) I don't know if that's true for the dungeon meshi universe, but for what I know dwarfs generally have stronger stomachs 2) He knows how to pace himself when eating and wouldn't be swallowing a lot of air 3) He has a very good understanding of which foods work for him and which ones don't.
I think his burps are a little bit below average for a dwarf (which translates as a little above average) and that they aren't very loud, but they're very deep and can be quite long. He'll make an effort to muffle them, but it's always going to be at least a little audible.
Marcille
From the main four she's definitely the one that's more grossed out by it. Mostly she'll just roll her eyes, groan and maybe mumble some insult, but if she's in a particularly bad mood she may actually snap and scold whoever did it for being loud (normally Laios) or not excusing themselves (normally Chilchuck).
Of course because of that she doesn't know how to burp on command or anything like that and would never participate in a burping contest, she thinks only someone incredibly vulgar would do any of those things
All that being said, the universe must really hate her because her burps are loud. Very loud. Explosions of sound. So loud she can't even properly muffle them. And she tries her hardest to, trying to hold it as much as she can (which just makes it worse in the long run) and if she has to, keep her mouth shut and covered by her hand (also always excuses herself, multiple times even), but it's not enough. She hates it, she gets actually angry at herself for this, but there isn't much she can do. The others don't even taunt her about it anymore (unless she's being particularly insistent with her scolding), because she gets actually sad and so ashamed its painful to be reminded of it.
I have more so once again if this gets likes I'll post them

Disparate Thoughts on Dungeon Meshi
I'm an anime-only watcher, so no spoilers beyond what's currently aired (eps 1-3) + mild map spoilers for a random 3.5e D&D module (Sunless Citadel).
- I'm not the first nor will I be the last to harp on the English localised title but Delicious in Dungeon sucks. I do, however, think going with the "DnD" naming scheme was a nugget of a good idea (let's face it, "Dungeon Food" sucks too). Maybe "Diners in Dungeon"/"Dungeons & Diners" instead (as in those who dine, not a place where one dines). Or "Dungeon Dine" (like "dungeon dive"). Regardless, I'll just be calling it Dungeon Meshi going forward.
- I don't know if this is coloured by me going into this series with the knowledge that Ryoko Kui loves Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 or a wider ripple effect of eastern dungeon-fantasy conventions being shaped by there not being an official Japanese translation of D&D between Basic and 5e, but the world-building's vibe is old-school D&D as hell. It feels like it was written by someone who maybe never got the chance to play the tabletop game much but spent hours poring over the 1e Monster Manual in hopes of getting a campaign off the ground (and ended up penning a manga instead, game scheduling be damned). There's the disarming of traps, feeling for secret doors, and even the iconic red dragon as seen on the covers of the Basic Dungeon Master's Handbook and 1e Monster Manual being the dungeon boss. Design-wise, the dungeon's layout it reminds me a bit of the map from Ruins of Castle Greyhawk or The Sunless Citadel (pictured below, right).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- The main cast is very tropey at the moment. Quite literally all the Basic classes are covered; the generic white man Fighter (Lv 1, no multi-attack yet :P) as the party face, the halfling/thief, the elf/wizard, the missing cleric, the dwarf... This works for this point in the narrative but doesn't make me particularly attached to any of them. They need another overarching obstacle.
- I generally don't like Studio Trigger's output (not the Imaishi-involved stuff anyway; Gridman fucks) but I respect how bouncy their animation usually is. So, I was excited to watch something animated by Trigger but not (originally) written by them. Dungeon Meshi, however, looks static and resorts too often to Dutch angles to maintain visual interest. There's a bit of an art shift in episode 3 where this improves; more fun "off-model" moments, the movements get a little bouncier, more color harmony. Hopefully, this stays and isn't just a guest director fluke. Form the snippets I've seen on the manga, Kui suffers a bit from "draw background killed my grandma", thus her ability to make her simple character designs emote well has to carry the page. The anime does the opposite; super detailed backgrounds but flat shading/lack of texture on the characters creates a need for them to over-emote with a "screen-shake" effect in order to stand out from their surroundings, which I could see getting old fast. The main event, the food, looks better in the anime than in the manga due to colour and animation bringing it to life.
- I don't usually laugh at Japanese comedies because they're either too slapstick for my tastes or too pun heavy for my JP comprehension level. Dungeon Meshi gets a point for making me "lol" more than once.
- Finally, a good panty shot:
Tumblr media
- I watched episode 3 dubbed. EN Marcille > JP Marcille (I say this as a stickler for subs). The rest of the dub cast is fine but I'm probably sticking with JP because JP Laios' ability to scream > EN Laios (EN is a great generic white man, though). I'm not familiar with most of the JP voice cast. I think Chilchuck is my fave in JP.
Both languages have little breathing room between lines of dialog and I was hoping the EN dub would play around with the fact that the character speaking isn't necessarily the one on screen (thus less lip-flap matching, especially for Senshi, who has few indicators that he's actually speaking even when he's onscreen) but alas. I'll do another one of these if I have more to say later in the season 🥂

do you have any drawing tips? i'm just starting out and your style inspires me to keep going fr!!
HIYA !!! thank you that is so kind of you, i would say to keep drawing with references and do studies!! typically art studies (in like art school lol) are of old masters (da vinci, etc) but doing studies of styles that you like, like trying to copy a certain artist you like, also helps you develop skills !!
for example, lots of people (especially fanartists lol) do studies of artists like leyendecker while making the models their favorite characters/ocs, so it helps to make studies fun. literally look up leyendecker study on tumblr dot com and you will see hundreds.
(gets a bit long and rambly so i've thrown it under the cut :')
Tumblr media
style studies can be anything! above was done while watching wolfwalkers, just loose sketches that copied the style as the movie went along. i love the design and style in that film, wanted to incorporate it in my character design work, so i tried it out myself! it let me know the kinds of shapes used in the construction, the way it moves (wrt to animation) and silhouettes. by copying something, you learn how to do it on the way (so the kinds of colors used, what works best with shading, etc) it's like. reverse engineering
even very loosely copying something to identify what you like about the style helps! these were modelled after the way slimsense on ig paints (her work is 2nd + 4th examples below, my attempts at 'paint' 1st and 3rd lol), but doesn't really look like her work. i'm not necessarily trying to make perfect copies. i liked that her paint didn't blend perfectly, was blocky, and the additional lineart over the painting, so i brought that into my own art. i tried to create a painting style that was 'my own' off of lots of trial and error, and seeing what stuck!
Tumblr media
also find brushes you like! adobe has a bunch on their page (if you have photoshop, but i know there's some for procreate and other programs) and if you want the adobe brush files, lmk. i will send a drive link to you LOL (sketches of the same characters, using different brushes below. the two i used the most often, one being a solid inker and the other being a paintbrush)
Tumblr media
generally doing figure drawing is good too. i've heard advice about art where you can only start breaking the rules after you understand them, and a good grasp on anatomy, proportions, etc is definitely a good place to start! good sites to use for this are line of action for poses, and the morpho books (if you need pdfs of this let me know, though you should be able to find them if you look lol) !
i would also say learn perspective early on. i have no tips for you here i am so sorry. i didn't and now it bites me in the ass, but there has to be a youtube tutorial for this out there that can help you AND me. same goes for color theory. quickly dropping my favorite van gogh quote of all time:
Tumblr media
(quote is from a letter to his brother) just everyone needs the fundamentals first. don't worry about a personal style: that just comes naturally as you develop as an artist, and i was certainly inspired by a lot of the things i watched/consumed and artists i admired which absolutely shows in my work i think (manet. western comics. fma. avatar. pjo fanart. there are tells. you know how it is.)
also flip your canvas !!! like see below ... frankly this marcille is so lopsided (her entire face should shift to the left) LOL !! flipping horizontally makes the anatomy mistakes obvious, and shows you you what you need to fix. i should never have posted this as is but sometimes it works for humor and an artist is lazy </3
Tumblr media
AND ALWAYS USE REFERENCES WHEN YOU CAN!! i should use more references tbh!!! it helps with posing, getting anatomy correct, etc, and my friends use pinterest a lot, though i tend to just google when i need to LOLLL
Tumblr media
also draw what you like. there is genuinely nothing that is better for your art than getting into something REALLY BAD and then non stop drawing it. time + practice will lead to improvement no matter what the subject is!
i hope this was not too much information all at once !!! and some of it is helpful!!! it's a lot of basic improvement tips that i try to practice and use when i can :) so sorry that this got so long!!!!

so sorry if you have gotten this question before, please ignore if so. but i am planning to do a couples' cosplay of falin and marcille with my gf and i am utterly BEWITCHED(!!) by your falin. did you make most of the materials yourself, or did you buy it? i am especially curious on how to find her jacket/robe thing. thank you !!
OMG no worries AT ALL! I have not gotten this question before, and I am happy to help any way that I can! :D (also tysm you're so kind ahhh)
I 3D modeled the staff topper myself and then used my 3D printer to print it! I actually put it up on Etsy a little while ago, but that's juuust the digital model. For the pole I used a baluster (hollow rod) that I found at my local Home Depot.
The cosplay itself was the only listing I could find on Aliexpress at the time! (There might be others on there by now.)
REGARDLESS, thank you again for your kind words <3 Good luck with your cosplay <333

Looking at Eva Marcille Pigford's children And all them babies look like they daddies, like, her genes didn't even try with their youngest son. Michael Jr kiiiinda gives a smidge of Eva, But her daughter is gorgeous, and looks like Kevin McCall stankin ass, with Eva's eyes I am NOT going down into the children and family bag today, but who am I to tell cannabis what we gon talk about? THC is the moderator and discussion leader of this and every session and we know that. I took a 10 mg pineapple gummy and it's starting and I'm not gon think about children and motherhood today, besides, kids aren't content. Nor will I think about how I wanted be a mom to have a functional family unit of my own, Because I am the scapegoat in a narcisstic codependent family system BUT I BELIEEVE IN THERAPY AND I'VE HAD SOME EFFECTIVE THERAPY. I'M GOOD AND I KNOW ENOUGH TO RAISE HEALTHY AND SMART HUMANS AND I KNOW ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THEIR EDUCATION AND I HAVE A BACKBONE! So can I get a chance to be a mom and have a husband so I can have people to belong to, a functional family unit of my own? And it don't happen for everybody and the shit has a 51% fail rate, like, I started thinking about this topic by looking at the Instagram of a newly divorced Atlanta lawyer and seeing his beautiful babies with his model ex-wife. So it's not what it's cracked up to be because patriarchy, And I know that, and it's sad And it probably hurts more because my family of origin was NOT a functional family unit. I've had therapy. I'm educated. I'm affectionate and encouraging and supportive and I'm good with words, so I can explain anything to any child. I can do it, and I'd be good at it.

Dungeon Meshi Season 1, Episode 3 Review
I think it was fantastic, and like the other episodes my complaints are all so minor, they're basically nitpicks. Spoilers below!
The Japanese subtitles are still kinda bad, when you watch the English dub afterwards it somehow manages to better convey the same information without leaving anything out. Japanese performances are fantastic but yeah the subtitles really suck a lot of the life out of them. There's some gems in the dub performance, like Chilchuck saying "Sword, please" to Laios instead of "can I borrow your sword" or something more elaborate.
Everything that was good about the original manga chapters is in this episode, and this was one of the early chapters that hooked me and my spouse into Dungeon Meshi - seeing how Laios figured out the living armor and how he defeated it was something really cool and thoughtful that stood out from other media to us. It was clever and novel and went into monsters and speculative biology in a way that we both adored. This episode is also the one that really foreshadows the rest of the series and it's themes. If something is alive, it desires something, and if you can figure out what it desires you can find a way to defeat it. If something is alive, you can kill it, and if you can kill it you can eat it.
All of the fight scenes in this episode are incredible, and there's tons of fun camera shots and interesting choices being made. Love the bit where Marcille catches a helmet in the loop of her staff. Also loved the bit where she caught Laios' head in the loop of her staff and shook him around angrily. They found ways to include information from the extra monster tidbits into the main narrative, which is fantastic! I'm hoping they'll be able to do this for the rest of the anime as well, because there's a LOT of vital information and funny jokes in the tidbits that enhance the story.
So nice to finally have our first Senshi panty shot and know that they'll at least give us some of those.
Though the animation is spectacular, there is a noticeable style shift between the first two episodes and 3. They obviously have some very talented animators working on this episode (the suits of armor are all rock solid, detailed, and move in fantastic ways) but they are NOT really good at drawing the human characters on-model and it shows. It's not awful but it is noticeable. I'm glad they at least were able to keep it consistent, the characters look that way through the whole episode and don't switch back and forth between individual scenes. That would have been a lot more distracting. Pet peeve, I hated the gag with the egg sack flying through cosmic space to show Laios had figured out the secret of the armor. I didn't think it was that funny, and I felt it interrupted the flow of the already very exciting and tense fight scene. Just the memory sequence being drawn in such a crazy loose style was enough for me! And the style of it flying through the cosmos and everything just felt very out of place and modern. Oh, and Laios says "oh my god" at one point in the dub, which also annoys me, but I think is better than "jeez" since a pagan could theoretically say "oh my god."
But overall a fantastic episode and it gives me a lot of hope for the rest of the series. I was worried that they were going to compress the story too much and try to fit 4 chapters into this episode, because of how they put 3 chapters into episode 2, but they gave this 2-chapter story room to breathe, which it very much needed. Can't wait for next week! I think we'll get the golem story as well as the orcs.

‘Real Housewives’ alum Cynthia Bailey announces divorce after 2 years of marriage
New Post has been published on https://medianwire.com/real-housewives-alum-cynthia-bailey-announces-divorce-after-2-years-of-marriage/
‘Real Housewives’ alum Cynthia Bailey announces divorce after 2 years of marriage
Tumblr media
“Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Cynthia Bailey and her husband Mike Hill have announced they are divorcing after two years of marriage. 
The former couple shared the news in a joint Instagram post uploaded on Oct. 12.
Next to a photo of the two holding hands and smiling together, they wrote, “LOVE is a beautiful thing. While we both will always have love for one another, we have decided to go our separate ways.”
They assured fans that they are not on bad terms.
“No one is to blame and we are grateful that we remain good friends,” they said. “We will always cherish the many memories we’ve shared together as husband and wife.”
Bailey, 55, and Hill, 52, then expressed their gratitude for their family, friends and fans and their support throughout their relationship and in the future. 
“Thank you for your prayers & well wishes! Cynthia & Mike,” they concluded.
The couple initially got engaged in July 2019 after 14 months of dating, People reported. 
On Oct. 10, 2020, the model and the sportscaster tied the knot in a Georgia ceremony, according to People. 
The publication reported that 250 guests attended the wedding, including “RHOA” co-stars Kandi Burruss and Kenya Moore as well as former cast member and “America’s Next Top Model” winner Eva Marcille. All three women were bridesmaids. 
Their ceremony was also featured in Season 13 of “RHOA.”
After the nuptials, the newlyweds spoke to People about their love story.
“Mike and I are elated that today has finally come!” they said at the time. “10/10/20 is and always will be our perfect date. We are not perfect, but, are perfect for each other. We are living in a very different time, and now more than ever we realize that life is too short, and to never take anything for granted. We are so grateful to have found each other. Love with the help of God conquers all.”
Earlier this year, Bailey competed as a contestant on “Celebrity Big Brother” Season 3. Hill briefly made an appearance on the program to send her off before she entered the “Big Brother” house.
In August, Hill praised his wife on Instagram.
He uploaded a picture of Bailey and wrote in the caption. “I wish everyone could find this kind of sunshine on their cloudy days!!”
Hill added, “Through it all, you continue to stand tall. You’re appreciated @cynthiabailey” and included the hashtags “blessed” and “walk in faith.”
Bailey gushed about her husband a few days later in honor of his 52nd birthday. 
She uploaded three photos to Instagram of Hill and cheered, “Happy Birthday to this handsome, wonderful, smart, funny & super talented man!”
The reality television star talked about their future and said, “I know in my heart that the best is yet to come! And I can’t wait to cheer you on!”
She called him a “king” and encouraged her fans to send him birthday messages. 
Bailey was previously married to Peter Thomas from 2010 to 2017. The couple said “I do” during a Season 3 episode of “RHOA.”
The TV personality and her former partner, Leon Robinson, share 22-year-old daughter Noelle.
This was Hill’s third marriage. The talk show host confirmed in a 2019 interview with Madame Noire that he had been married twice.
He has two daughters, Ashlee and Kayla, and has shared pictures from their “daddy daughter” dates on social media.

definitely real dungeon meshi epilogue:
laios gets turned into a beastman like izutsumi. his greatest dream. but then he realizes people want to eat him instead. he lives the rest of his life conflicted on the topic of eating vs being eaten
marcille and farlyn bone down and adopt a half-elf baby. marcille becomes the ruler of the dungeon, gets to practice necromancy, and becomes known as “The Dark Queen of the Dungeon” and farlyn is her sexy witch cohort that she commands to dress in skimpy outfits for her pleasure. their half-elf adopted child is being trained in every art ever and because of it she’s a neurotic mess but she still loves her 2 moms very much
izutsumi adapts to living life as a catperson because she can wear gender-neutral clothes now. everybody loves her and wants to pet her (this is true right now but continues into the future). she gets married to beastman laios but then divorces him and keeps half of his beast food in the settlement. laios doesnt care cause he got to see her naked
chilchuk realizes hes a pos and goes back to his wife and settles down with her. his daughter is growing up to be an adventurer like him but unlike him shes not an asshole for running away from family for silly reasons
senshi becomes a world famous cook among dungeon explorers, stays in the dungeon, and gives food to anybody in need because he’s a good person. this couldve been a funny entry but i love senshi as a character too much. hes too kind and awesome and everything i wish i could be
mithrun finally takes a nap and when he wakes up he realizes he just had glued his eye shut on accident and didnt take his medication. now hes all better and he loves his giant elf Canary polycule
kabru becomes marcilles second-in-command and deals with the busywork because he’s smart and knows that if any of the dummies currently running the dungeon were given a second alone, theyd turn it into hell on earth. also he starts modelling for fashion magazines because he is the prettiest person in the world
realizing that his love is now lost to a dummy like marcille, shuro goes back to his homeland and gets some sleep and eats some food. he makes peace with his long lost love and realizes that maybe it was better he didnt marry laio’s sister, who shares many personality traits because they’re twins
sissel the sorcerer comes to realize that the wizard he was protecting for years is dead, and is put to rest in Golden Kingdom, along with everybody he made immortal, finally knowing peace. not before he gets spanked on the ass for being a little shithead of course
kensuke becomes a sick-ass Buster Sword and is reveled in legends as “The Legendary Sword Kensuke”. Soon enough he gets mass produced and everybody owns a Legendary Sword Kensuke. This embarasses Laios because nobody believes his Kensuke is the Original Kensuke

RHOA: The Best Confessionals
Tumblr media
So I decided that I’ll try to make a confessionals-post for every franchise on Bravo. I love and hate the housewives style on their confessionals and I would like to make a post for each season. First out is RHOA: Who had the best look in their confessionals in season 11?
I guess it comes as no surprise that I liked Porsha Williams look the best this year. She was funny as hell in her confessionals this season and she had a cute thing going by wearing white only. I actually like her look no. 5 and no. 1 the best, and look no. 2 the least. She has a sense of silly and playful sexiness that I can appreciate. She was cute this season.
Tumblr media
In close second this season is Kandi Burruss and that’s thanks to her style no. 1 and no. 2. I’m actually pretty jealous about her look in no. 1. I gasped when I first saw her, she looked so good in that confessional! The look I liked the least was no. 4. I didn’t like the bleak color on her top and the haircut is not my favourite for her.
Tumblr media
On the difficult third place is RHOA newbie Shamari DeVoe. She looked so much better in her confessionals and I think that’s mostly because of her hair. I think she looks so much better with dark and a little longer hair than her short, blonde style. I like her look in confessional no. 3 and no. 2. She gives me some Aaliyah vibes in her look no. 2. I love her smokey eyes and the black top. But I have to say that I actually hate her look no. 1. This is the hairstyle I didn’t like on her – I also get a vibe of Playboy models á la 2005, which is not the best...
Tumblr media
I have placed Cynthia Bailey on fourth place and that’s thanked to her look no. 3 and no. 4. What I love about Cynthia is her boldness and playfulness with her hairstyles. I actually loved her braids this season, but she didn’t have this look in her confessionals. Of all her looks I liked no. 2 the least, but that’s not on the same level as Shamaris or Kandis worst.
Tumblr media
On fifth place I have RHOAs second newbie Eva Marcille this season. Eva is a beautiful woman but I don’t get her style… I thought her hair looked like a mess most of the time this season and almost got surprised by her confessional looks. She has a totally different style than the other ladies and that may also be the reason why I picked her look no. 3 and no. 2 as her best this season while no. 4 was her worst look, in my opinion. 
Tumblr media
Last on my list is Nene Leakes and that’s not to be mean. People may think that I hate her but I really don’t. I just don’t understand her style. I can’t wrap my head around it. I guess I liked her look no. 2, 3 and 1 the best, but these are not on the same level as Cynthias, Kandi or Porsha this season. Nene may be the one with the weirdest styles in her confessionals, I can only think of Shereé Whitfield beating her on her confessionals last season.
Tumblr media
I would like to finish this post by congratulating Marlo Hampton with finally getting her own confessional moments this season. Will there be a peach in her nearest future? Is this a sign? By the way: Are Marlo and Tanya Sam living together? Their confessionals has the same background…
