FALIN LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

you know, i said that kabru's storyline in dunmeshi follows a typical "idealist in materialistic story" trope and doesn't subvert it in any way, but i've changed my mind. i think it goes a little off the beaten path and it's what makes it interesting.

the thing is, stories usually are very unkind to characters like that. so, you're an idealist? how about putting you into the worst situation in your life, make you beg for food and shelter, drag you through the dirt to make you realize the truth of material? but dunmeshi isn't unkind to kabru. yes, it puts him into "the situation", but reality is, it's not unkind to him at all. kabru is interested in people, so what story does is making him see the value of material through his connection to another person.

doesn't mithrun exist in some form of idealistic perfection, where you quite literally don't care anymore about eating or sleeping and only focus on your one goal? when it's only you and the purpose born purely by your mind? isn't it the sort of existence kabru would want in the pursuit of his own goals? since he himself prefers to ignore the material, possibly even sees himself above (beneath) it all? it's interesting that human desires, as it should occur to kabru, are on the edge between material and ideal, it's a part of being human in the first place.

and well, what kabru quickly realizes by spending time with mithrun is that this sort of existence is harsh and cruel and dehumanizing. as much as kabru would like to think otherwise, to have meaning is "to want" and to acknowledge that "want" instead of denying it for greater purpose. and to acknowledge that "want" you need to fully accept your own humanity.

in some sense yes, kabru is forced to confront material, but he's not hurt by the process. he helps a person, makes a friend. he finally has a few good nights of sleep, he eats, he thinks about eating better food. he has a chance to share his memories and culture. he can talk through some of his concerns with the person he has no reason to put his facade for. kabru literally has a slightly stressful vacation and reconsiders a lot of his view in the process. and yeah, as much as i enjoy it when the narrative is cruel to its characters, i loved this a lot.

because dunmeshi is the type of story that wanna be materialistic in the positive sense, not in the negative, the lacking sense. it's not the story about hunger, but about satiation. so, it doesn't show you a process of breaking and isolating someone to bring them down to their humanity, but it heals them and gives them community to accept that humanity as a good thing instead.

Sometimes people will hate a parent-type character in a way that's so far from actual canon that you can tell it's not the character they really hate but Their Dad from Real Life. Which is fair but really annoying when you're trying to post about The Character

Finished Arcane S2, dang!

I think I liked the first season more, not sure what I think about S2 yet I usually need to sit with stuff for a while, but it's mostly positive, although I did find some parts hard to watch (For several reasons, one of them being that I've been a league player before)

Viktor very hot tho

Friends told me YouTube recap was already out (so fast?) so I went to check mine since it's always funny cause I do not listen to music basically at all on my own (My family usually listens to music on speakers so I just listen to that) so it just tracks my random obsessions thru the year, I guess the top artists counts how many different songs from the same artist I've listened? Cause I never spend much time listening to the same artists but last month I was looking at weird al stuff and now he's there LOL (Same with cansei de ser sexy I had a month I remembered about them and went thru some albums)

This year I feel like I mostly listened to transviolet tho I wonder why it's not there. Top tracks are accurate, I might not have gotten into dandadan but the op is a banger

I also listened a lot to katamari ost, but it was mostly at work when I wasnt logged onto my acc.
