i think i need a lobotomy

I should've made this in the first place to go as a reference to my post about Kabru rarely being shown eating (and when he does it, it isn't pleasurable) and linked it somewhere. I didn't feel like I needed to go through every example and based on people's tags I do think everyone gets it ... but I'm compiling this anyway because I find it really interesting from an artistic/writerly standpoint.

Like, Kabru obviously is eating meals in the abstract sense. But as I said, Kui almost never actually draws him putting food in his mouth. At first I assumed that she was avoiding it to save on space because he needs to be shown talking instead, but as I've looked back, I've noted that she doesn't usually shy away from giving characters speech bubbles even when they're chewing or they have utensils in their mouths. Unless they're Kabru.

This would realistically be the best time to actually show him eating, since it's a normal meal at a normal restaurant, but no. He doesn't actually put food in his mouth in this entire scene. They show him taking a bite in the anime, so I almost forgot, but honestly the manga just makes it look like he's picking at his food. Again: I'm sure he does eat this meal. My point is that I think it's a deliberate choice to keep that off-page, to contrast all the other characters who get to both visibly eat food and enjoy it.

As mentioned, Kabru is only shown drinking wine while his party eats the snacks in chapter 32. I think it's possible to infer that he doesn't actually eat any food here at all.

The harpy egg omelette bit barely counts as eating lmao we all saw him struggling to even swallow a bite down. Let's move on.

Quick sidebar:

Are we all going insane over this panel or is it just me? Okay continue.

Like with the omelette, it gets a checkmark for actually going into his mouth but no checkmark for enjoyment. He hates this. He's being spoon fed bad cake and patronized.

Next:

Literally the worst meal in Dungeon Meshi lmao.

Barometz:

He does actually eat this. Rare Kabru mastication panel, not clickbait. But it's kind of a sad moment when you remember that he was looking forward to a cultural dish of his mother's- literal comfort food from his childhood- and instead got the weird godless crab-meat-plant that is the barometz. This may be the only time Kabru goes looking for comfort, and he's pointedly denied it.

Next:

Yeah he isn't drawn eating during this entire scene either. Only drawn holding the food and his utensil.

As stated: still never shown eating. Deliberately shown getting Mithrun to eat instead. Kabru, the call is coming from inside the goddamn house.

Bavarois is next, and once again it gets a checkmark for actual on-page chewing but as we see, he still hates it and has to concentrate very hard and block out all thoughts of what he's doing in order to swallow it down without making a scene.

Okay. Faligon feast. Kabru does canonically spend days eating for the sake of Laios and Falin! Yay! Caloric fucking intake! Clean plate club!

And yet.

Literally shown stopping himself before he can put the food in his mouth.

Mickbell is so real for this. No one needed to hear a lecture from Senshi more than Kabru.

Anyway. Given how surgically precise Kui is with everything else in this story, I just feel the choice to constantly show Kabru focusing on his worries during mealtimes, instead of drawing him just enjoying food, was purposeful.

Being perpetually horny does suck sometimes. I'm sitting in my room, simply attempting to play hsr and suddenly my daydreams are just me railing Dan Heng.

On the outside, I'm playing my game with a straight face. On the inside, I am violently thrusting inside of Dan Heng while he calls me daddy. 🙃

i just love disney princess shen qingqiu, like that man is just made to walk barefoot through the forest and sing with the birds while carrying a basket of flowers and foraged goods while deer and rabbits and squirrels follow him around and butterflies perch in his hair like little ornaments; he will sit down near the lotus pond to practice the guqin and the sunlight hits the water like a golden shower as forest critters gather around him to listen, and he has the most beautiful singing voice that pulls in anyone who hears it.

he is the epitome of a beautiful, kind and gentle scholar, though he remains woefully oblivious every time someone talks about qing jing peak's flowers or treasures

Something silly I did~

AU where Bill is send to earth like a beast as part of his rehab journey; the docs on theraprism thought it would be good for his improvement to start "closing chapters" of his life, starting with the Pines family, and bc of his good behaviour the axololt agrees with this, with the condition of removing all of his remaining powers, hability to speak and a brand new body of his own (he could've definitely transform him intro a human but this was funnier)

And since he appeared in the middle of one of the twins' expeditions across the Pacific, his unwanted presence will have no choice but to be part of their little adventures on the high seas :D

There's actually something really inspiring and comforting about Solomon having been alive for who knows how long, having seen humanity at its worst over and over again, having suffered through pain and loss and fear and dread and any horrbile thing imaginable for probably centuries now, and yet not only does he still have faith in humanity as a whole, but he also keeps on saying with zero hesitation that yes, humanity is worth saving and yes, he will do anything it takes to do so

Like yes, we are truly wretched and awful. Yes, we're also filled with love and capable of being kind and compassionate. Yes, we are all deserving of life, no matter what

Sungenti & Robinhill would go on the most terse double dates in history. That's it that's the post.

sleepy sick people too exhausted to cover their sneeze while cuddling so they just sneeze into their partners chest over and over again with whispered blessings after each one

Nobody’s promised tomorrow

hannibal is that meme of books where the big stack is normal hannibal and the small one is hannibal if jack actually cared about will's mental state

not only that but?? proper laws and proceedings?? there’s no way what they did with freddie was legal. and probably could’ve circumvented a bunch of bullshit. abigail’s the daughter of a high-profile serial killer whose victims haven’t been found nor was he able to given proper sentencing and retribution. why was her hospital room not guarded or at least monitored. there’s still BLOOD and EVIDENCE in her UNMONITORED HOUSE. like i’m not an expert on any of this but it’s just common sense i fear 😭

I admittedly have a strong attachment to Swansea. He was able to get sober and stay that way, even if he wasn't truly happy like that. Staying sober is hard. There's a lot of alcoholism in my family, even I drink socially to some degree, and unfortunately at least one family member did not survive their alcoholism. Mostly anyone that does drink heavily in my family have either slowed down in their older age due to health concerns or know how to function with it. But Swansea got to a low point and said "That's enough." on his own.

And it breaks my heart entirely that the only happiness he got out of his time being alive was through the bottle. Because I knew exactly what he was talking about. It feels good, it's a warm fuzzy band-aid, it makes you forget or not think too hard about anything else besides that good feeling or the hangover. I hate that. It was so devastating to hear.

But one thing that made me happy is that even though he was drunk off mouthwash, he still cared, he cared enough about at least one person on the ship hoping he'd have a true chance at life he saw that no one else would or should have. Curly was in such a bad condition, Jimmy was a loser piece of garbage he saw through, and Anya...he knew Anya didn't want to and shouldn't have to live through her trauma. So the only viable option was Daisuke, the youngest of the crew who had barely started his life. What hurts me more is that I'd've done that too. I'm tired mentally and emotionally. I've been traumatized and probably will be much more, but hey kid, you still might have a chance, however slim that is. Sometimes I think about what it was that made him start drinking to begin with. What was he trying to forget? What caused the bad feelings he wanted to chase away bottle after bottle? Was it just learned behavior? Or maybe it's both.

happy birthday min 💜

you know what sounds incredibly troublesome?? concocting a medicine that repels earthworms, digging up the roots of whatever plant they’re currently feeding on and spraying the soil where those plants used to be with the aforementioned medicine. god knows how many of these plants need to be dug up. could be hundreds of them.

and you know what quincy, local hater of all things troublesome decides to do anyways?? help yakumo with such a troublesome task. he 100% didn’t have to, by the way. he could’ve just told yakumo what to do, he’s good at following instructions, but no. quincy decided that not only was he going to make the medicine after buying the ingredients from the market, but also go all the way to yakumo’s village and help dig up each of the plants and put the medicine in the holes left behind.

i.. was right. i was so right. quincy would do anything for yakumo, no matter how troublesome. he’ll sigh and mumble all the while, sure, but if he really didn’t want to do it, he just wouldn’t. we know quincy. if anyone else were to ask for his help with such a tedious task he would 100% just explain to them how to do and be on his way. but not yakumo.

yakumo asks quincy to do something, and he does it, no matter how troublesome. yakumo asks quincy a question, and he takes it seriously, no matter how difficult it may be to explain. honestly, if yakumo said jump, quincy would most likely ask ‘how high’ because he of all people knows it’s pretty much impossible to say no to the serpent’s sweet face ♡

46 more Mondays ... hang in there.

As for me and Jungkook... Jimin, you will always be #1 to us.

Your album MUSE was the legitimate #1, I don't care what anyone else says. You worked hard to develop your musical and performing creativity over the past two years and you made it come to life in this album. You've come a long way and I'm so proud of you.

I cannot wait to see what you do next. If there is something else you've left for us to hear and see before you get back, it is just icing on the cake for me. Thank you.

Apparently when you use Tumblr's gifs it notifies the maker of the gifs??? And I used a random gif to respond to a proselfship reblog thing and the maker straight up told me to delete the gif and block them on 2 accounts?? Fym with that I don't even know who you are 😟

It was literally this meme
