More cute Shoto Dabi ideas. Cause as much as I love family fighting and growth, the idea of Shoto having goals to be like his big brother is adorable. Dabi dressing him up like a tiny baby goth, or teaching him to skateboard is just so wholesome it melts my little rabbit heart.

rabbit!!!!! hehehehe that made me giggle so much waaah (/▽＼) shhhh stop those are SUCH cute ideas!!!! you're gonna melt my heart!!

[ID: Two panels from Dungeon Meshi. The first scows Senshi clutching his face as tears start to spill out of his eyes, saying, "I've always... always wanted to have this soup one more time." He's not wearing his helmet in this panel, so his face is unusually visible, detailed and vulnerable. The second panel shows himself as a youngster, surrounded by his old mining team, all smiling at each other, one of them rubbing Senshi's head. Modern-day Senshi continues, "Thank you. All of you. Thank you." End ID.]

Holy shit. I anticipated some tragic backstory from the "I must feed the young ones" panels, but what I'd guessed was that Senshi might have become so devoted to cooking and eating literally whatever because he'd previously survived a famine and had seen children starve to death. I did not expect him to have been the child who was the sole survivor of a doomed travel party, one of whom was determined to feed Senshi first because he was the youngest, and that Senshi has lived with the fear of having inadvertently committed cannibalism by eating stew that he'd never quite known the contents of. I'm happy for him that Laios deduced and confirmed for him that it was griffin meat, that he was able to taste the meal that saved his life once more and remember the friends he lost. Seriously, I'm crying, and also earnestly relieved that while his backstory is pretty dark, it's not the type of fucked up I'd been preparing myself mentally for.

had a thought. grian trying to be ethical about watcher eating habits meant he was basically constantly starving and on the verge of losing control and just tormenting people so he could get a decent meal, so other watchers - their not caring about players is probably at least partially cultural. can't afford to care about the people they're feeding from outside of a rare few scenarios or they'll end up a half starved wreck like grian. but doc's solution, if repeatable, would change that!

Definitely partially a cultural thing, but also a case of orange and blue morality. Most Watchers dont really view Players as anything other than a food (and entertainment) source. Thats not to say all of them are like that, bc there are exceptions to everything, but Grian's unique origin as a Player is the main reason why he's so concerned about the ethics of how he feeds

ur post about queerbaiting and the dismissal of people in fandom to critical analysis is so incredibly true thank you. i feel like marcille's writing in the anime has been super misogynistic a lot of the time and every time i bring this up all anyone wants to say is "well maybe this isn't for you! and you shouldn't watch the show!" like. i don't think this is about taste lmao, i am analyzing the text in front of me and coming to conclusions about the craft of it.

[This is in reference to this post]

YES!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

It is so so frustrating!!!!

It's like being at a restaurant and being served a bunch of delicious appetizers, but then one of the bread appetizers is literally just a plate of crumbs; and then when you're like, "Hey, uhh, why are we being served literal crumbs?", a bunch of the other folks eating at the restaurant are like,

"WELL HOW ABOUT YOU JUST DON'T EAT HERE THEN??!? YOU MUST NOT BE THAT HUNGRY, SO JUST FIND ANOTHER RESTAURANT AND DON'T EAT WITH US!!"

And maybe they say it politely, but "Aw, sorry, maybe this restaurant just isn't for you 💖" is just trading out an aggressive dismissive tone for a patronizing dismissive tone. It's the same message.

And it's like! I was honestly happy to move on from the crumbs once my complaint was acknowledged because the meal overall is still delicious, but then all these folks got SUPER WEIRD AND DEFENSIVE ABOUT IT, so now I find myself double-checking all the other dishes -- and, actually, you know what those eggs DO look a Iittle misogynistic undercooked!!!!

i don't like season three when viewing it as a continuation of seasons one and two, but i do very much like season three when viewing it as the prequel to seasons four and five... hmmmmm.

going from the Lake Timea arc in PARTIZAN where the Ashen, their long history as the Hypha largely lost, are introduced thanks to a chain of events beginning with the murder of the Ashen elect of Past —

— to the Road to PALISADE Lancer game where Zeke and Dianthe are uncovering buried Hyphan history and a new generation of strati are learning from the dead to tap into their powers and defend their community from the Principality —

— to the Road to PARTIZAN Dialect game where everything about the Hypha is laid out, and suddenly you see the ghosts everywhere in their story since then... but also that even after millennia of persecution and forced assimilation and language death, one core principle of the Dialect game was ultimately adhered to, in the long spiral of history.

whether carried with the Hypha and their descendents or not, the dead were not forgotten. even if meaning was lost or changed or stamped out over time, it was found again.

... out of all the emotionally devastating moments in my personal sci-fi FatT seasons onion, this arc of events is the most affecting one by a mile.

taking all my fellow struggling mutuals' hands and lying down on the floor. we're all going through it. floor time now. love you. let's rest

for the first time in a long time, i threw together something to eat and it was actively bad. not because of parosmia or any other external thing, it just genuinely wasn't good. i barely finished it and was really glad it was one serving. #humbled

can you imagine harboring a hidden infatuation with your superior for years and then you’re at their death bed trying to muster up the courage to confess your romantic feelings and among their very last words they hit you with “you’ve always been like a son to me”
