I have yet to encounter any discourse surrounding my sweet baby boy Basil, but I imagine there's got to be a small portion of the fandom calling him a master manipulator for showing signs of severe mental illness or something. Not on my watch!!

When Marcille Met Shuro
#do you ever think about how Shuro would be way closer to Marcille’s aesthetic preferences than the average tall-man#not in a romantic way but like she was probably like ‘wow what an upstanding young man!!’#in Marcille’s rankings of the people around her Shuro was probably above all other (male) tall-men#before she realized his feelings for Falin and sent him crashing to the very bottom#meanwhile: (Shuro voice) (completely oblivious to all this) huh#dungeon meshi#marcille donato#toshiro nakamoto

Rin, smiling, and nagging
Rinsha Fana’s character is summarized in a couple facts thrown here and there. Because she worries for him, she follows Kabru to help his cause and protect him, and to nag him. She’s a grumpy angry tsundere, but it seems not only rooted in her attitude but on a deep rooted physical level, to the point where any intense emotion she feels will make her frown and scowl even if it’s genuine joy. Her childhood was half spent ostracized in the tallman community her family lived in and half with the elves, where she’s said to have been treated like an animal.
We don’t know how she was raised exactly or who it even was, but knowing she was "treated like an animal" by the elves taking care of her…
Elves are shown to have a highly hierarchical society, not only with their concern with status such as nobility and the purity of bloodlines but also reflected by its social culture imo. They have high society and etiquette, upmost devotion to the queen, very role-oriented, like cogs in a machine, and as such, it’s a bit skewed since most of what we see of the elves is in a military context with military people but they seem to value having emotions under lock and key to be efficient and not bring dishonor, Flamela is an interesting character on this. Don’t be a bother and do your job until you’re called on, fulfill your role, everything else is extra at best inconvenient at worst.
Personally I do think the canaries kept Rin, it’d make sense that whichever canaries got stuck with the job at the headquarters would be barebones with her and treat her like an ‘impounded article’, they couldn’t find another place for her and this way they can get her report on the events whenever she can speak again in however many years, and this way it makes sense that she could keep in touch with Kabru too. They’re used to prisoners, not kids. Being raised in a military context rather than at some orphanage would shape her further.
All of this to say…
She’d already seen the world’s harshness to those who don’t conform in her hometown, but with the elves? Her disdain for those who had formal education at a magic school?
Wouldn’t she become very concerned with proving she is not an animal, proving that she’s smart and skilled in her own right on her own merit, even without schooling. And to do this she nitpicks and nitpicks, because even being pristine isn’t enough to be respected, but at least it’s not giving others reasons to disrespect and dehumanize her. Learning to school her emotions, to scowl as a defense mechanism because anything else makes her vulnerable, because they don’t care about her as a person with feelings, because showing other expressions was dangerous or punished in some way: because it was fit in or don’t fit in and that’s the difference between having your house burnt down and being tolerated, between getting her food or having her questions answered and being yelled at to shut up… Because all her life she’s been surviving in hostile social environments and at the mercy of others, but unlike Kabru she doesn’t become a people pleaser but becomes very self-reliant and wary of socializing.
So she nitpicks and nitpicks and nags, because she’s worried. Because flaws are dangerous. So she has a hard time smiling and laughing, because it’s dangerous to allow yourself to feel safe in being authentic.
It would be nice…
Is my red, red enough? I'm waiting for your teeth at my throat. It’s only good manners. -Stephanie Valente
#Dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#rinsha fana#rin dunmeshi#character analysis#Kabru and rin have many parallels where they kinda take opposite routes on the same problem#Rinsha fans how are we feeling#Theory/speculation#Overcompensation i love you……… god she’s such a survivor. The refugee trauma i 😭#Is my red red enough is her blood human enough i’m gonna walk into the ocean#Wether or not her nagging actually promotes upstanding demeanor is another topic but I do think this is why she DEFAULTS to nag n scold#I don’t think she’s self-aware about her thinking like this. It’s all just the obvious way to be for her

To think Kabru will become the Scheming Advisor to Laios, he must be so happy. He would scheme so much.
#cosas mias#dungeon meshi#for all his quirks I think Kabru is fundamentally an upstanding guy#but he would be so good at it it would be scary

Colress fics can be wild because sometimes they’ll give him the uwu softboi treatment and make Ghetsis some sort of toxic ex boyfriend of his and say that he’s super beat up about his past with team plasma you guyssss as if this didn’t happen in bw2
#pokemon#ghetsis#colress#like he had no problem freezing a whole city I don’t think he’s that morally upstanding of a person#team plasma#had to remake this because the community label hates me

Harry's world/Bad end
Inspired by Christina's world by Andrew Wyeth
#I dont think people talk about the bad end enough#this is the social murder game you guys#i dunno#my health took a bit of a decline recently and my doctor forgot to get me a refill on my meds in time and it got me thinking#disability puts a person in such a vulnerable position#it doesnt matter how well Harry solves the case or how upstanding of an officer he tries to be#one drink is all it takes and he is left to die#he cant even run after them anymore... he doesnt even know where he lives#he's nothing but an addict to them#reduced to an animal... grovelling in the dirt#used for all hes worth and then thrown away once he cant work anymore#ive written about the bad end before and ill get back to it(after my fic about his mom is done) when i get the energy for it#its just so compelling!!#does anybody hear me???#disco elysium#harry du bois#disco elyisum fanart#my art#illustration#also some people in the fandom do NOT see disabled ppl and addicts as people and it shows#ITS THE SOCIAL MURDER GAME

The best part about the bingqiu epic-misunderstandings-era during the jin lan city arc is that it works so well BECAUSE luo binghe is genuinely scary and unnerving at times. I think he should have been SCARIER actually. The dreadful feeling of inevitability that justice will be enacted upon you by the protagonist and his presumably world warping powers and persuasion should be utilized MORE!
#“b-but he's too scary! having a moment of doubt the love interest would actually hurt the main character is toxic!”#BUT THATS WHAT MAKES IT SO GOODDDDD#hes returned from hell 3 years earlier. manipulates and charms his way into gongyi xiao's position in about a YEAR!#keeps such a tight ship of the whole huan hua sect that it isnt leaked to other sects that hes been alive this whole time for a whole YEAR!!#and now hes BACK and hes CHARMING and everyone LOVES HIM and it makes no SENSE.#it doesnt make sense to be this influential in a short amount of time but it absolutely does because hes the PROTAGONIST!!!!#the world's logic is his!! he is fate and fate loves him!!! the inevibility of the protagonist!!! fate!! aaaaaaaahhhhh!!!#and hes so gentle and smiling the whole time. what a wonderful and upstanding young man. what beauty and grace💖💖💖#sorry i just have a lot of feelings#throwaway post#svsss#scum villains self saving system#luo binghe
