do you happen to have that page that talks about the beauty standards of each race?
Yeah sure. While scavenging pics for this I found this neat reddit compilation & chart & theory talk too. I had um, way more to say than I anticipated (I know you only wanted the one page. I have nothing to say for myself. Like most topics in Dunmeshi things snowball because theyāre so interconnected. Mercyā¦) so, many races and observations are only mentioned near the bottom.
Beauty standards and race in Dungeon Meshi
Not pictured thereās also how elven society is harsh on visibly disabled people, and how the demon took away Mithrunās silver eyes and ears to take away his pride. Thereās also how Senshi might have fit in with the orcs more easily because of the dwarven wide body shape, and how they tend to have more body hair too I suppose. In the extra on orcs we see Senshi living with the orcs and he gets judged because of the hierarchy rather than his looks.
What is fashionable also differs from culture to culture, and thereās how tattoos only seem common with elves, though dwarves and others do also sometimes have some. They seem to not raise much brows, which makes sense since for many essentially theyāre for professional (magical) purposes especially with elves. Gender roles also differ in type and importance, but generally they are similar to irl ones for the races we see. Elven society seems to be the least gendered, which would be an unsurprising logical outcome of having lesser sexual dimorphism aka they look more androgynous. Comparing fashions and gender roles and how they affect beauty standards would be a whole other compilation and conversation. Kui has great worldbuilding partially because sheās got such a good grasp on sociopolitics and geopolitics. History affects cultures and beauty standards greatly. Kuiās oneshot Distant Utopia was very eye opening on her way to worldbuild and the consideration she gives these things, I do really recommend reading it.
Out of the big 5, we know the least about gnomes, but their sheet does say both culture and region are similar to dwarvesā and they end up being confused together often, so we can imagine the beauty standards are similar to dwarvesā as well.
I wanted to touch on this in a post eventually, but how one daydream hour page said half-foots tended to be curvaceous like in the artwork below puzzled me for a long time, all the half-foot characters we see during canon are rather slender and lanky after all, Chilās succubi also being more curvy than plump. Economics are for sure a factor in that I imagine, the half-foots characters we see are all implied to be some flavor of poor or malnourished, as are half-foots depicted as empoverished oppressed minorities in general. Even comparing the artwork with the half-foot sheetās depicted average half-foot, the ones on the left seem bigger. Wouldnāt it make sense though, if unlike dwarves half-foots donāt have similar naturally wide bodies, yet due to idolizing dwarves they work towards having a similar body shape/type to emulate them?
Itās said half-foots tend to stick to pretty ethnically homogeneous regions (aka half-foots-only communities) unless they move to the big city with ambition to try and make it big (like Chilchuck and his wife & kids did), and thatās interesting imo because then that would mean that in a ton of half-foot communities, they rarely see or interact with dwarves whom they try to emulate. Of course, one thing about beauty standards is that when they get adopted, at one point it stops being "this is how dwarves look and so this is how half-foots should look" and just becomes "this is how half-foots should look", most people feel as though beauty standards arenāt learned but innate, so I figure the half-foots wouldnāt have any problem still seeking dwarvish traits when there are no dwarves around.
Thereās also stuff you can glean here and there if you want to extrapolate more. Like how in the race swap artworks, Mickbell is only smiling in the dwarf portrait, and Rinās elven portrait looks very close to her elven one- Rin who is stated to be beautiful in her profile blurb. Benichidoriās extra does teach us tallmen can definitely have harsh beauty standards, but also since the text portrays her as very dysmorphic thatās likely reflected in her thoughts to a much more intense degree than is common, not an accurate strict baseline to go off. Ah, Kabruās blue eyes are also why he and his mother lived a rough life in Kabruās hometown, but that seems to be regional. Good post here on the topic of Kabruās blue eyes and ties to irl history. Thereās a lot to be said about Kabru being a man that in many ways is close to elven beauty standards, and how that might have affected or been affected by his upbringing with elves + his persona as someone that can effortlessly charm most people. Marcilleās section here in this essay also goes into Marcilleās struggles to fit in with the ideal image of an elf.
Looking human
Also notable are beastkins and demihumans: Demihumans are all dehumanized which makes people treat them worse. So if you differ from the visual idea of "human" (an in-world subjective categorization just as much as demihuman is) most people do judge you negatively. Elves and dwarves get to fight about which type of human is considered the prettiest, but demihumans are below tallmen and half-foots, they are considered as simply below the beauty contest, incompatible with it.
Onis are perhaps the demihuman people we know of with the least cultural influence on the dunmeshi world, and with the least intensely different appearance than other demihumansāthey seem to be technically categorized as human to people not from the eastern archipelago?ā but even them are treated as lesser than human, treated as beasts to slain for reputation points or useful strength to have around and command. Itās said their "magnificient horns" and fangs are often shaven off when the oni lives in tallman towns, so you could easily make the argument that onis are denied the right to have their own beauty standards, having to conform to other peopleās and going through mutilation to take away features they might otherwise have taken pride in. Inutade was bought by the Nakamotos from a dangerous sumo fighting ring that got one of Inutadeās tooth broken on her first and only fight, and kept as a low ranking servant ever since. Remember when I said different fashions existed in dunmeshi and how those could also affect beauty standards? Like the elves, if you look at the portraits pages which include a lot of characters that arenāt in the story you can see distinct cultures within the same races, for example one young elf is bald which is in sharp contrast with the usual elven long luscious hairstyles, and thatās especially true for onis I think. Maybe not only from different regions but different eras as wellā¦ They have a bit of population in the very north of the western continent, so I like to think some of the ogres live in very cold, maybe even subarctic or arctic conditions. The point Iām getting at here is that within a race, culture/ethnicity like with Kabru will also influence them it isnāt just tallmen as a whole, different communities will have differing beauty standards. The oni history blurb and third row first collumn portrait remind me of Mongolia (which historically was a lot of different nomadic communities with different cultural identities as well. Something something, the oni empire experienced a decline and then tallmen overpowered them, and now theyāre governed and split apart by stronger social classes & slavers and the richness of culture was hurt for it especially if they have no real community left of their own), but obviously many of them are dressed and look rather japanese, makes sense considering living in/close to Wa, and first row second collumn portrait reminds me of ainus which again would be logical considering geographical placement, though Iām far from an expert. Interestingly, ainus are indigenous people both in Japan and Russia- Perhaps the northern western continent ogres are meant to be closer to Russia than Canada like I imagined? Ok tangent over.
The kobold sheet says theyāre especially sought after as slaves because theyāre "adorable", but locally in the western continent theyāre repeatedly said to be seen more as ferocious and dangerous. The dehumanization is most apparent in the first comic below. The language barrier and conflicts no doubt worsen this by a lot, but I think itād be hard to deny that their canine appearance makes the dehumanization worse. "Theyāre ferocious beasts, theyāre demihumans, they canāt be communicated with". Most characters in Dungeon Meshiās world are desensitized to slavery and most characters are prejudiced one way or another. Point being, kobolds are fully removed from human beauty standards, but no doubt for kobolds, other kobolds are more beautiful than humans are. Theyāre assumed to be an uncivilized bunch, but just like any other people they like to adorn themselves with nice clothes and jewelry and keep themselves clean and groomed; they too take care of their appearance and take pride in it.
And the orcs! This one we have the most contact with in canon, with not only there being foreigner characters from the ethnicity or hearsay of their homelands and culture but full on contact with a community. We get to see up close what theyāre like and what they think, and of course in turn theyāre our introduction to how demihumans are harshly looked down upon and seen as inferior, less human and thus less worth valuing and less dignified. Itās text that orcs are ugly to most humans and humans are ugly to most orcs. Since I judged they didnāt need accompanying explanation the pictures showing this are in the pictures dump at the top.
God forbid you sell vegetables to orcs my god- but then again they do basically mandate adventurers to kill any orcs they come across so yeah the world isnāt above that even a little bit.
So yes, my main point here is simply that orcs are yet another evidence of the physical ideal of "human" being an important beauty standard for human societies globally.
Izutsumi is our glimpse at how beastkins are treated in the world, and in Wa at least thatās ending up being caged and mistreated as part of a freak show. Izutsumi hates her appearance and wishes she could leave the feline part of herself behind to only be human. Interestingly, not that we have a lot of info on them so this is very much a take with a grain of salt situation, but there seems to be less stigma around artificial beastmen, those who can shapeshift at will. The main difference is of course appearance, that most of the time they simply look like average tattooed humans. Artificially creating humans is an illegal practice, and no doubt itās not well regarded, but being able to hide that makes them less likely to be discriminated at any moment, or even just discriminated less intensely. Again, looking human is important, not only for belonging but for safetyās sake. Beauty standards rule the world with harsh hands.
Mermaids and fishmen
Ok weāre done now right? Right-! But waitā¦ Waitā¦! Mermaids and fishmen are said to be demihumans too, special separate cases to the main three demihuman species however, which is also represented by how mermaids and fishmen both are in the Adventurerās Bible chapter Monsters meanwhile ogres, kobolds and orcs are in the chapter World. Theyāre an interesting topic because they directly tackle this topic, not only in a meta way for the readers but also making characters themselves struggle to quantify their humanity with the goal of knowing wether they should be eaten or not, especially Chilchuck. Chilchuckās "is it really just a matter of feelings?" mini arc.
The party asking themselves "Should we eat this?" is very common, and often they end up playing a little loose on morality, like eating the red dragonās meat despite it having digested Falin. Not unsimilarly Marcille freaks out a little over the vegetables they harvested having been grown with fertilizer, aka largely human poo. Half of the motivation of "should we eat this perhaps sentient creature" is out of consideration and compassion, but more strongly and more often, the characters struggle with a sense of taboo at eating something too closely related to humans. Even, feel uncomfortable because of the deepseated impression that eating it would dirty them in some way. Cannibalism is an interesting and relevant topic in many ways, but what I want to mention is how thereās the more or less universal belief that committing cannibalism inherently taints you as a person and turns you more monstrous, morally but also literally depending on some myths such as w*ndigos and onis in some cases, like in Touge Oni. Marcille and Izutsumi both express a fear of eating monsters turning them monstrous. Maybe this is part of what Laios was hoping for, honestly. There are two fears here, if eating a demihuman monster constitutes as cannibalism or not, and so, will eating it taint you because itās a human, or will eating it taint you because itās a monster? You are what you eat, until itās a little too literal. You morally are the means by which you get your food, and you physically are the result of your nutrition. Dungeon meshi manages to mix an exploration of humanity with the theme of food because our relationship to food is very deep and complex, psychological as much as physiological.
In the end, the characters sort of shrug and accept that theyāll never quite understand the world of mermaids and fishmen and how they operate, and what that means about them. Laios is the one always challenging these notions other characters take for granted, itās not obvious to Laios why people are softer on mammals than other animals and plants, itās not obvious to Laios why people would be afraid of eating a monster just because itās a monster, itās not obvious to Laios why some food is gross to Marcille but not fish testicles, itās not obvious to Laios why you should immediately regard orcs and kobolds badly.
"Cows are probably closer to humans [aka closer to being human] than fishmen, though theyāre clearly intelligent", dehumanization to lessen empathy towards them to be able to eat them. Meanwhile, mermaids seemingly have a less noticeable "civilization" or intelligence, they hunt in groups like fishmen, but they donāt use tools and such, they feel more primal and similarly instinct driven, and yetā¦ Do they attract sympathy more? Mammals, humans, is it because of their nature or because of their appearance?
Both the nature and appearance of fish are ones people donāt typically sympathize with. "Fish donāt feel pain", "goldfish only have 5 seconds of memory", "itās okay to keep fish in completely empty bowls too small for them until they die from it", so many lies and misconceptions exist that make people less considerate of them. The average lifespan of a goldfish isĀ 10-15 years, the record is 43, but theyāre not seen as lives that really matter, so a lot of goldfish die in a few weeks of bad aquarium conditions. Thereās a lot of research on animals evolving to look cute and appealing to make some predators want to kill them less and parents want to care for them more, including humans. First good google research result gave me this credible short article on the topic. In Chilchuckās weighing wether a fishman is far enough from being human or not to eat, "face is 100% fish" is his biggest argument for it being more acceptable. The face, the most important thing for empathy and recognition. The face, the decapitated fishman one that falls into his hands next chapter.
To quote @room-surprise: "Chilchuck can't explain why it's wrong to eat the merpeople, even though it's NOT complicated. But the problem is Chilchuck would have to accept and acknowledge that the merpeople might be people? And that's outside of the worldview he passively believes, so he can't just say that, because he doesn't think that's true. But that IS why he "feels" it's wrong. And it's all you'd need to say for Laios to understand! But it would require acknowledging that maybe the way they're treating and talking about the merpeople is wrong."
The idea of Chil not being able to grapple with how maybe some monsters are more humans than they seem, him who had been an advocate of half-foots rights, half-foots who get undermined and treated as inconsequential sacrificesā¦ Grappling with how he could relate to the merpeopleās situation almost, and pulling away because itās so existentially horrifying. I do not want to see myself into an hostile fish-faced warrior I canāt communicate with. In a way this also relates to Chilchuck being the only party member who doesnāt see Izutsumi as a cat in the relationship chart, the only one to treat her with full human dignity. He knows the struggle to be taken seriously, he knows being infantilized and he knows what itās like to be treated as less than human.
Below, you will see Chilchuck draws the line of where they become not okay to eat as when "they already look like mermaids". Above, thereās speculation that the algae hair is partly to mimic "the mermaidsā beautiful female form". Is it because mermaids are their enemies and the ambiguity might give them extra seconds to attack or flee? Is it to trick adventurers instead? Itās striking to me that this is what works, with the adventurers. Sure the fishmen are intelligent, but explicitly here, what makes them no longer acceptable prey to Chilchuck is that they look close enough to a mermaid, close enough to human. Mermaids who of course themselves have this form to entice and seduce and charm the adventurers they prey on. Chilchuck considers the intelligence due to the tridents, but most of his internal debate centers around their appearance, and the image of a fishman skewered sickens him. The power of mimicryā¦ Mimic being a beautiful human woman. Mimic being cute, babies being wired to make us feel protective and softened. Half-foots, sometimes pretending to be children for scams or help or avoiding trouble.
The mermaids are only concerned by their differences and not their similarities, and have no trouble treating the fishmen as food rather than peers. To an outside perspective like us, the audience, all these categorization of "more human" and "less human" between onis and orcs and elves and tallmen etc seem stupid and unfounded, but to the people living in Dungeon Meshiās world, elves may as well be mermaids while onis are fishmen, not alike at all, unworthy of empathy and thus fine to eat.
Ultimately, Dungeon Meshi promotes unity. Itās about seeking to understand the unknown and the misunderstood, the dehumanized and the inhuman. It shows the good that comes from seeking to understand what you do not, even when thatās one another.

HIHI Mo!! Itās so nice talking to you again šš Even though I donāt keep up to date with any big lore or plot from Enstars or Obey Me I still casually stay in the loop so feel free to let me know about anything big š like I saw there were new Enstars characters?? after HOW LONG?? I was so shook
(Also the Triworlds song is such a classy banger they have been COOKING)
Heya, Avery! Thank you so much for the ask! Nice to see you too~ ^^
Now that you ask me about recent Enstars and Obey Me developments, I have... much to say about them so I'll put them under the cut; brainrot time!!
I have a massive, MASSIVE Enstars brainrot to the point that I even made a sideblog to dump my RyuseiP stuff because I don't wanna overshadow my Obey Me stuff here lol
In case you missed it, there are new albums per unit with new songs and solos
And YEAHHH HappyEle really went and had us adopt 5 new kids just recently and they're adorable! I found myself immediately attached to Yume (the purple-haired one) when he was first introduced in the 9th anniv livestream because we share a birthday, not to mention he also plays piano and does cosplay??
It made me a little giddy about it like did they put my OC on Enstars or something /j what are the odds I suddenly have a buncha things in common with an Enstars characterā (Plus coser representation!!)
I haven't read much but based on a few simple translations, the new main story arc involves certain ES idols auditioning for a worldwide(?) dream unit in a show called "4piece" and we even have a new producer!
I think what's interesting about this arc is that it would focus more on the idols' individual strengths outside of their respective units
Also, I think Chiaki's also part of the audition based on how he appeared on the PV they showed in the 9th anniv livestream so I'm looking forward to it~
I'm not sure if you've seen this one too but JPstars' April fools gag this year was so WILDDD they even have a full song for it
They basically collaborated with Yagami Chitose, who is an actual shoujo mangaka artist, for the story and illustrations in the MV
The story itself involves a ton of shoujo manga tropes (including Hajime / the MC somehow bumping into 4 people at once) and it was a fun read lol
You can even change the characters while the text and their voices change accordingly so imagine the opportunities for both yumes and shippers š
Unfortunately for Obey Me Nightbringer, I've yet to catch up to the Main Story again because of the card grinding ;w;
But aside from Anniversary and All the Feels, they've been cooking with cards too! It takes a toll on players' funds because you need card dupes for them but the new Premium Picture feature looks so divine?? Don't even get me started on the shower picsā
Even though I was a bit iffy about the sudden story reboot in the new game, I still appreciate some of the details they changed, including MC living with Solomon at Cocytus Hall instead of them staying with the brothers (since it makes a bit more sense that they'd be closer to Sol as a fellow human), and Satan's more evident wrath compared to the OG game
We even get to enjoy random domestic moments with Sol like this one~ Since we pretty much live together with him, we sound like a married couple (though a lot of those moments involve banning him from the kitchen)
sorry for the really long answerā here's a niki beena
#so yeah the brainrot is as strong as ever#a lot of stuff happened since the !! climax events#anzu's working independently from p-association now to work in trickstudio alongside trickstar! :>#9th anniv also has a lot in store for us including 'ultimate' songs#they already teased one for pretty 5#and the season 2 unit songs are about to be adapted into MVs i'm so excited for heart heat beat#ask#avery šµ#hbu? what have you been into these days#who's your fave lnd character so far :0

!!! Thank you so much for sending this ask!! The ask game for 75blrĀ šµā.Ėš§ āĖ.ā list is so fun!! I love ask games so much! If anyone else wants to reblog the list for themselves or send me an ask from it, the list can be found HERE.
ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½ - if you could turn one fic on 75blr into a movie which one would you pick?
The only fic I could possibly choose would be PosesĀ byĀ @vinylandcoffeecollectionĀ except instead of a movie I want a million seasons of a TV show lol
š® - give us your predictions for album 6
I'm hoping that George will be the primary producer again, and I'm looking forward to hopefully a The 1975 spin on some of his current projects
š - give us your predictions for the next era (the fashion, the aesthetic etc)
LOL once again I think Matty is going to go all in on the cowboy aesthetic except he's the only one - everyone else is doing the fun tee shirt and jeans vibe that George is currently rolling with.
Thank you SO MUCH for sending me this ask!! I hope you are having a FANTASTIC Sunday and a great rest of your week!

you said merms bloodlust and i thought "ooh merms vampire fic? š"
NO BUT SERIOUSLY i hope you are feeling better and good things come your way merms lovey <3
fun fact!! i actually had a massive vampire phase a million years ago!!! like, during the Twilight/Vampire Diaries hayday, LOL. everything i wrote back then involved vampires. fanfiction, original fictionārole-play. yeah!!! your girl here used to role-play with other people online!!! iāve written teenage-girl-stumbles-across-sexy-bad-boy-vampire-whoās-old-enough-to-be-her-great-great-great-grandfather tropes. vampire highschools, ala Vampire Knight. Vampire Secret Societies. name a trope and i probably wrote a half-assed outline for it!!! if they had sharp pointy teeth and were driven by uncontrollable bloodlust into sucking on someone they cared aboutās neck then i was there!!!
iām kinda all vamped-out these daysā¦ i much prefer my bloodlust to come in the form like, a favourite characterās head being bludgeoned-in with a rock or something, LOL. just normal, non-blood drinking violence. š„¹šŖš«š©ø idk if iāll ever (seriously) write a vampire!AU for BNHAāmaybe more drabbles, randomly. but to me the magic of a vampire story came with like, pairing it up with teenage girlhood (including but not limited to the connotations of the whole, blood-drinking-in-the-place-of-sex thing). and idk! itād be hard to pull that off in a x Reader without like, flattening whichever BNHA cast member we picked for the Lead. and i write (and read!) fanfic because iām interested in them, in their complexities and lives and the things that stretch out after canon. idk!!! now that iāve said that, watch me pull a iida/reader/tokoyami vampire!AU outta my backside. š
(thatās a joke; i donāt have time. š but alsoā¦ š§ you could do some pretty interesting things with a set up like thatā¦ Dark Shadow could be like, part of Tokoyamiās vampirism?

Oh hi!!? Itās always a bit of a surprise to get any likes on my Horrible Histories movie posts, I sorta send them into the void for self satisfactionš, but it was even more surprising when your username popped up! I hope youāre feeling better. For the playlist ask game, obviously Iām asking if youāve got any songs for Atti and Orla.
Hi friend!! What a pleasant surprise! š„° I got such a good laugh out of your Horrible Histories movie post, and it made my whole day so thank you so much for that! š It really is a small fandom world, isn't it? Thank you so much for the well wishes and for the ask! š„° I have to admit that I am positively giddy to have an excuse to think about Horrible Histories: The Movie! š
To tell you the truth, I actually have a whole playlist of songs for Atti and Orla [I call it "Of Love and Sundials" because I amuse myself š
]. Of course, they have a lot of wonderful canonical songs already (including a (sort of?) love song. That second verse and also the Latin translation makes me think it's a love song, but I suppose it's up to interpretation). Anyway... unfortunately those songs are not available to listen to in my country or to purchase internationally (believe me I've looked into it) which has been such a frustration when the songs get stuck in my head. (True pain is running around humming "something something sharing" for two weeks at time with no respite š). My sister and I actually once physically typed out all the lyrics to one of the songs by pausing the actual movie over and over with subtitles, and I also translated part of Atti's part of "Orla Alone" into the original Latin when I super bored once (my teachers would be so thrilled to know how I was utilizing my many years of "serious" Latin knowledge š). But mostly, I just made a playlist of non-Horrible Histories songs (and I got really, really attached to song "Lost in The Woods" from Frozen 2) as a way to fill the void. Here are a few of my favorites:
This Land Is Mine by Dido (YouTube Link)
Home by Heron Valley (YouTube Link)
Don't Mention The War by The Divine Comedy (YouTube Link)
Vagabond by WILD (YouTube Link)
We Go Well Together by Goldheart (YouTube Link)
Soldier, Poet, King by The Oh Hellos (YouTube Link)
Skyway Avenue -- We The Kings (YouTube Link) [A/N and brief warnings: this song mentions falling to one's death and (vaguely?/possibly?) suicide (though I don't think it needs to be taken that way. I've always taken it in a more metaphorical sense), but the line "I would die for you on Skyway Avenue" is too fitting for this ship to leave this song off of the list (and the song isn't really that dark)]
Bonus Fun, Silly and Cheeky Songs:
What A Man Gotta Do -- Jonas Brothers (YouTube Link) [A/N: Spoiler Alert: The answer is apparently just stop to tie your sandals, so it's not that hard...]
Lost in the Woods -- Jonathan Groff (From Frozen 2) (YouTube Link) [A/N: I got really attached to this song sort of in lieu of "Orla Alone" since it's a similar sentiment/vibe (in my head anyway. This song is also a bop in its own right!). Also, Atti does tend to get lost in the woods in a literal and metaphorical sense so I think it kind of works š
]
I've included links to both Spotify and YouTube (I tried to pick the most official links I could find), and I'm crossing my fingers that you won't run into any international streaming problems similar to the ones I've been having with the movie's songs. When I get to feeling better, perhaps I'll try to make a proper post with actual discussion about these songs, but it'll just have to be the songs and links for now I'm afraid. I hope you'll still like them though! Thanks again for the ask! It was lots of fun! š„°
Thank you for playing my Mini-Playlist Ask Game! š
