Kabru’s behavior in Dungeon meshi is absolute bonkers if you look from a logical standpoint.
Kabru really wants to get know Laois, which keeps on ignoring him on the surface at every turn.
Then, in the dungeon, he finally gets the chance to talk to him, while Laois gets into fight with his former colleague and then half their party gets wiped out by Laois’ transformed sister. And after that Laois unintentionally brushes into Kabru’s trauma by making a dish out of a monster, Laois’ special interest and Kabru’s trauma.
And despite everything, Kabru does everything to help and protect Laois and his party from now on.
For a person who at this point theatrically should still fall into the “crush” category.
While Kabru’s past and his dislike of the canaries and elves generally plays a role for his behavior as well, Laois is the biggest motivation for his action.
No matter that, even if a wrong decision could cost so many lives, some he had sworn to never allow to repeat itself, he still does everything to help Laois and keep him from harm.
Absolute insane behavior from him.

My apologies if these have been asked before. Can Dante and Vergil regrow body parts like Nero can? I’m assuming the brothers can regrow organs because of being impaled so many times; but I’m curious if actual whole appendages like arms or even legs or a head is possible? Do you think Nero has a superior form of healing ability? Thank you kindly.
Given how Dante tends to (literally) walk off impalements/has taken a bullet to the skull at point blank range with little more than a momentary stun, and how Vergil realistically should have been sliced in half after that horizontal swing at the end of DMC3, I’m almost inclined to believe they heal too fast to actually lose limbs tbh.

I know I said this in the discord last night but I have NO fucking clue when the UA staff get any sleep. Like they have to spend most of the day teaching and then grading papers and preparing lesson plans and then also go out on patrols as a Pro Hero and then also whatever side projects they have going on like????
BRUH these fuckers are running on caffeine and spite for real.

before, I always believed I deserved better people in my life.
but now that I actually have friends who care about me and genuinely want me around, im realising that I don’t actually believe that.
like I’ll probably get arguments from mutuals about this, but like what even makes me so special? all my good qualities can be easily found in others, and idk ig im used to feeling like my bad traits outweigh the good in any interaction I have (im too loud, too bossy, too quiet, too clueless, too stuck-up, too awkward, too distant/distracted, etc.)
what did I even do to deserve the life I have?

for the DE game
esprit de corps: what are your feelings about the RCM?
Oh tough question— I don't have a solid opinion, but I can give some feelings. It's interesting that there's this moment where Harry gets to say which view of the RCM's formation he favors more-- if he chooses the first one, Kim says "Be sentimental, if you like;" if he chooses the second, Kim says it's "probably more honest."
It's my personal view that the formation of the RCM actually was helpful to stabilizing (though honestly, did it stabilize?) Revachol after the revolution, from a practical sense. But it was stabilization of the havoc wrought by the Moralintern for the most part probably, via imposition of the Moralintern's power.
It's a very Kim thing to say that the RCM's goal is to "maintain that order"— Does he mean order as in "keeping the peace" or order as in the political and international situation of Revachol? Probably both—I mean, restoring peace meant the death of the revolution, by definition; keeping peace means avoiding another one. And so when Kim says that the Moralintern is a fact and he tries not to have opinions on facts, it feels hypocritical: he is actively upholding the Moralintern's power, that's his job (and Harry's too).
I think it's a personal clash for Kim that he's trying to avoid confronting. He joined the RCM to prove he was Revacholian, and who knows what he believed at the time, but by '51 he believes the RCM was initially formed by the Moralintern, and he knows that the RCM, and himself by proxy, are supporting the Moralintern. The Moralintern is only a fact of the era of the game; eventually, like any political institution, it will end up failing. It's obviously not something Kim could personally do anything about in his lifespan; I feel that he's right about that. But he certainly doesn't need to actively work to maintain the hold such an institution holds over Revachol — so maybe the one take I actually have on the RCM is that, implausible as it would be from a character standpoint for Kim especially, Harry and Kim should quit their jobs.
