dungeon meshi stickers for anime north of Chucklefuck, Kabru and Thistle

My Dungeon Meshi charms that are currently up for preorder in my shop!

Preorder ends 5/15/24!

you ever think about how sissel spends three chapters of the game back to back trying to save two deeply depressed guys with zero self-esteem? how he sees right through jowd's insincere self-pitying apologies; and how he's so promptly over the justice minister's disguised negative self-talk, eventually trying to set him on a better path by telling him to not go so hard on himself?

with hindsight, i'm surprised sissel never comments on it all feeling... familiar.

Happy Thistle Thursday! I tried to draw @diskoteek's beautiful post-canon Thistle design. Check out their original post here!

Thank you for granting permission for me to do this :]

My own thoughts under cut

I agree very much with everything that was said in the original post, and it all resonated with me very strongly.

I feel like, because he spent so long putting others before himself and repressing his own desires to be more likeable, the only things he wanted when the Winged Lion attacked him were to find Delgal, to keep the kingdom safe, and to have the royal family eat together with him again (why he has all the plates set up, and can still taste the nightmare shellfish). If that's the case, desires he had for himself may not have even been present for the Winged Lion to eat. Instead, once those desperate wishes were gone, the things Thistle wanted for himself might begin to resurface... I thought something like that might be possible because he was smiling instead of numb like Mithrun had once been, and his memories of Delgal returned even though the Winged Lion took away his desire to see him again.

I also have OCD, and relate a lot to how desperate and agitated Thistle is all the time. I think it would be nice if what he lost were his compulsions and feelings of obligation rather than his sense of self, because I don't want freedom from compulsions to only be possible in death. I want to believe he can breathe deeply and feel the sunlight again, and I had also thought it would be nice for him to live by the sea. But that's all just my selfish headcanon

The food chain

i think my favorite details in the game come from the ending stuff in regards to sissel

Firstly, the fact that in spite of him saving everyone, he still dies in the end bc when the fragment of temsik gets rerouted, it hits him in the back as a kitten, killing him like it did yomiel

And then the fact with since he's dead with the temsik, he doesn't grow at all over the 10 year jump since he's literally like schrödinger's cat

sissel and yomiel both being schrödinger's cats is such a fun thing. with yomiel it even ties into the Themes — after all, the whole idea behind the thought experiment (iirc) is that you don't know what state the cat is in until it's observed. yomiel spent ten years not being really "seen" by anyone. and it's only after he's finally "seen" as a person — by lynne first, and then the trio of jowd-missile-sissel — that his fate is changed, and his future/trajectory is resolved. what is he? he's alive.

and the other thing you mentioned is great too. something about how there's no such thing as a perfect life without some hurt, some sacrifice. bad things will happen (and everyone will have different reactions to the bad things that happen to them). but if you have the right people beside you, you can live with it.

i played ghost trick recently :]
