This isn’t commonly known but one of the rings of hell is actually being in a fandom wherein the popular bloggers have the worst opinions known to man that everyone else parrots

#this is what ruined the Teen Wolf fandom in its infancy #it was probably always doomed but there was no hope for it #with the types of bloggers it had back in 2012 #fandom fuckery #fandom peer pressure is real

really surprised i have of yet to see this reading of laios' and toshiro's relationship before tbh

#Dungeon Meshi #TOSHIRO NAKAMOTO THEY COULD NEVER MAKE ME HATE YOU.#there is WAY too much projection going on in people taking Laios's side #instead of realizing that this is supposed to be a situation where both characters have wronged each other- almost inevitably #and their reactions are both 100% understandable #I also see this with Kabru constantly #so many people's reaction to the succubus side comic are like “Aw! Poor Laios is just trying to infodump! Kabru is so mean! ):”#you guys. do you think that if you confessed a very painful childhood fear to someone #one that stemmed from a physical feature you were insecure about and that caused your own family to try and kill you #and the response was “Yeah I bet your fear is real. I bet your mom totally got impregnated by a parasitic wasp"#do you think you'd be happy about that????#are you seriously telling me that your response would be “Wow king I love these monster facts. Only a hater would be upset by this.”#please!#we can acknowledge the fact that Laios's special interest is harmless even though it's “weird”#but that doesn't mean his behaviors are always harmless!#see: the Izutsumi stripping scene #Laios has character flaws. It's not a bad thing!#fandom fuckery #musings with Dea

The fact that this is canon non-genderbend long haired Kabru ... Madame Kui please, I'm about to start chewing glass.

#Kabru #Dungeon Meshi #Dungeon Meshi spoilers #sorry for locking spoiler conscious anime onlys out of this post for the sake of a stupid meme but it was crucial to my process #also I can imagine Kabru growing out his hair post canon. as a treat.#I posted this pic in one of my group chats with “guy who uses 'ore wa'”#also shout out to buzzcut Kabru looking like the butchest woman twitter can handle before they get scared

#picture me wearing a shirt that says I HEART INCREDIBLE VIOLENCE #I love fight scenes I love choreography I love characters who can fuck shit up. sorry.#Kabru and Falin princesses of the episode to me #I'm sad that the moment where Falin rips her top off looked noticeably bad. also giving her an hourglass figure what the HELL #but glad that the animation for pretty much every other moment was so so good #the little wrist twist Kabru does in the fourth gif ... such a good fucking detail #also seeing it in gif form really highlights the Moment Laios and Kabru were having #it's so brief but I think it's so pivotal to both of their characters #Dungeon Meshi #really lovely gifs OP thank you

Not going to get into it with someone on another person's post but oh my god how are you going to reblog a post agreeing about fandom racism and then be racist in the tags. Accusing the only two brown men of misogyny for no reason. Coming onto a defense post for characters of color and then saying they both suck. Literally nothing here is even true aside from acknowledging that they have good intentions. These are not remotely accurate character or story assessments, they are colored by racist perceptions. Just because it's not outright "hate" doesn't mean it doesn't count.

We're talking about people like YOU. YOU ARE WHAT THIS POST IS ABOUT.

#fandom fuckery #Toshiro and Kabru GET BEHIND ME #imagine if Chilchuck weren't white #do you think fandom would love his mean personality and light misogyny then? the way he always belittles Laios?

Inside of me are two wolves.

One really loves the way the fandom moniker "Kabru of Utaya" sounds and how it gives Kabru the dignity of a full name, and how it connects him to his past.

The other knows that "[x] of [location]" is canonically the dwarven cultural naming practice and thus Kabru would never go by it in canon.

#THIS BOTHERS ME SO MUCH....#Kabru #babe. we have GOT to get you a last name.#this is such a potentially painful subject to think about especially postcanon #he's got like ... an official role in government. does he have to sign documents? be announced in court?#like “[x] of [location]” is such a common western fantasy trope and also existed in real life #so naturally we as fans just kind of fill it in ... but Kui had to decide that dwarves do that specifically #so I know that in-universe it would be off the table. like a white person taking a Japanese name or something.#especially when. again. you are a royal advisor. real political blunder territory.#I need to explore this in a fic for real #Dungeon Meshi #posting for one as usual

Here's a painting I made for the ImagineFX art challenge "Mystical Meets Machines".

The theme was too intriguing to pass by - especially after I got the idea of some unicorns grazing by the remnants of an ancient, mechanical dragon. Someone in the past were keen on acquiring the great powers of a dragon for themselves, leading to a bitter end. Now it has rested peacefully for centuries, becoming part of the landscape.

Lots of fun painting this one, especially all that moss!

Photoshop, April 2024. And as always, no AI used.

#putting myself on blast here because I think the reason is very funny:#someone posted the panel of Laios explaining that Falin wouldn't be able to feed herself as a chimera because of a lack of bite strength #and a psychological revulsion to raw meat #and I was like oh okay this is something #it had already been on my radar for a while #I still held off on reading it until this year because I wanted to wait until it was completed #anyway very telling that nothing about my reason was like. normal fandom stuff.#the vibes were the right kind of fucked up for me it was like a lure #Dungeon Meshi
