“what would kabru get out of a relationship with mithrun LMAOOO?

oh you wanna call mithrun a dead weight soooo bad. you imply but never explicitly say it but all of you giggling and kiking over what he could even have to offer kabru think he’s a burden soooooo bad. the ableism packed in that sentence could give cithis a run for her money

[athina-blaine]

kb/ms is truly transcendental yaoi, spectacular, amazing, 10/10, no notes ... from the perspective of a mithrun enjoyer

as a kabru enjoyer, however...

I'll start off by saying that of course Kabru doesn't want or need a romantic relationship to be fulfilled, especially not with a white man, none of them do, it's all non-canon, Dungeon Meshi isn't about romance or shipping, yes yes yes, but none of us are here for that right now!! We're here to fruitlessly argue why my blorbos kissing makes more sense than your blorbos kissing!! You know it, I know it, none of us are free of cringe!! Clown on clown violence!!

That being said ... 🤡

I just don't see what Kabru gets out of kb/ms. With Mithrun, it makes sense; Kabru has a huge impact on him and ultimately helps him reaffirm his will to live. That's very exquisite drama and excellent character writing. But with Kabru, I just don't feel that Mithrun's character interacts with his personal flaws and would instigate his growth anywhere close to the same degree. I have to imagine most fics involving them focus more on Mithrun's baggage and how Kabru helps him heal from that ... because that's mostly all that happens between them in the main story, lol!

And like, that makes sense, because ultimately chapters 61-62 aren't about Kabru and Mithrun; they're about Kabru working through his conflicted feelings in helping Laios conquer the dungeon. I think it's ironic seeing people complain about kb/ms having Kabru be Mithrun's accessory when, if anything, Mithrun's main narrative purpose, outside of illustrating the danger of the Winged Lion, is to serve as Kabru's obstacle. I'd even argue Mithrun represents Kabru's personal bad ending; Mithrun wants him to kill Laios and surrender the dungeon to the canaries, preventing the short-lived races from ever understanding how dungeons function and returning to the status quo that had gotten Utaya destroyed. It's only when Laios practically forces Kabru, straight up puts his thumbs to the screws, to work past his reticence and be emotionally vulnerable that Kabru finally puts himself on the right path to achieve his goals (it's, uh, still a bit of a bumpy ride, but they get there in the end, lol!). If he'd been this way with Laios from the beginning, he might have understood Laios' intentions from the start and saved himself a lot of pain, but it's only because of Laios' influence that Kabru is able to grow as a character and get his happy ending.

(And even if one were a Mithrun enjoyer, ultimately the main source of Mithrun's life affirmation comes from the canaries. In that final scene, Kabru gets the ball rolling because he's outside of the canary hierarchy, but the scene ends with Mithrun being embraced by the canaries and as far as I'm aware the two don't interact with or reference each other post canon at all. Hell, it's Senshi who really drives the point home. Not that it matters when we're all wearing shipping goggles here, but it felt remiss not to mention it.)

At most, I can see how taking care of Mithrun would force Kabru to reexamine how poorly he takes care of his own body and that could make for some good drama. But even then, that change is ultimately instigated by Laios' influence on him, an extension of how Kabru wants to understand how Laios can see the value in monsters in an attempt to better understand his own trauma. If a person were to get into Dungeon Meshi specifically for Kabru and wanted to ship him with someone in a way that's most interesting for him, I'd be hard-pressed to argue there's a better choice than Laios (although who'd be cringe enough to do something like that haha right guys ... [sweating])

(Side note, though, I really don't vibe with the argument that kb/ms "reduces Kabru to a caretaker role" and that's why it's bad. There's plenty of instances where Kabru shoulders his friends' burdens (helps Kuro learn common tongue, listens to Daya's fiance about his relationship troubles, etc) and, more importantly, is seemingly happy to do so. I think Kabru genuinely enjoys looking after his friends and in the story seems to find plenty of personal satisfaction getting Mithrun to eat. I understand it has the potential to be more troubling considering Kabru is a brown man and Mithrun is a white man, but idk, it just feels on the same level as people trying to discount labru by saying Laios wouldn't take enough of an interest in people to want to start a romantic relationship, when his whole thing is that he does want to connect with people and just feels like he can't. It's not a bone I feel like picking, haha)

I honesty don't mind characters being "mischaracterized" in fandom or fic even to a large degree, I know it bugs a lot of people but I respect that ultimately fandom is little more than picking up the vague outline of a doll and playing with it and mashing their faces together. Besides, if I'm really worked up about it I can just write a fic and set the record straight myself, haha. This post is merely inspired by the supremely annoying subsection of twitter that acts like labru is the ship where it's just two dudes sitting in a room together. I'm just saying, Kabru ends the series whispering into the ear of another man as his day job and it's not Mithrun lmao

I just don't think most of y'all can actually read facial expressions. The way two characters (or even celebrities) "look" at each other is always cited as proof of one thing or another and at least 80% of the time the pictures tell a completely different story

[lilacpaperbird]

I will not tolerate "sam is the straightest man alive" declarations from people who believe dean is a poor repressed bi guy. guess what, we're both delusional ! <3 these men are explicitly straight in canon. if you can have your little gay headcanons and queer coding analyses, so can we. you don't get to preach from a broken pulpit

[qprstobin]

y'all are never gonna be able to convince me that Eddie was being bullied by the evil, evil jocks of Hawkins high lmao. Nothing about what we see on screen or his personality makes that make sense.

butch girl MCU!Loki >>>>> whatever frilly-dressed random pretty girl gets passed as "femme!Loki" in fandom

[holyfreaks]

sorry it's just like. are we policing FANFICTION. we've moved past policing fictional characters/shows/books/movies/etc to policing fanfiction. is that where we are now

[adelacreations]

Edit: I wrote this like when the person had been called out from the beginning but I didn't post it publicly only set it to private. I feel alot more comfortable speaking now. Adding that they deleted all their socials which is also a plus. So if you wanna know what I haven't been around much, it's cause I'm trying to like...still wrap my head around it. Especially considering I had maybe FIVE convos with this person in servers and merely just blocked her on discord

Also just saying but her hypocrisy about enjoying dead dove content when she got called out for it only for her to turn around and say that a former friend of hers deserved to be harassed because of it. Because the former friend cut ties with her and found out she had been shit talking. I can say for a fact she's not sorry for what she has done. She's sorry she got caught.

For all of her loud proclaiming that she was an ally to trans people, she misgendered me in private messages to a former friend of hers, referring to me constantly as "she" or "her"

I don't take kindly to that. At all. I go by they/them, regardless of the fact that I'm comfortable in my AFAB body (though I do wear a sports bra on the days I feel boyish lmao). I'm nonbinary, not fucking woman-lite.

I also don't take kindly to someone getting into my business about my partner, labeling them as nothing be a crush as if she had any right to decide what our relationship was.

Not to make it about race but I'm in a interracial relationship and its giving a type of vibe when a white person is questioning your fucking relationship as if it's their business. Like thanks, it's bad enough I have to deal with it in real life why not fucking fandom as well.

People that comment on other people’s post with their trash takes and negative opinions don’t understand that no one is obligated to read or tolerate them. Make your own posts with your trash takes and trash opinions and stay the fuck away from mine, thanks so much 😌

Billy Antis: I bet y’all hate that Lucas is alive and Billy isn’t! HA HA! Suck it losers!

The Billy Fandom: So, anyway… Here’s our in depth analysis on how Lucas is mistreated by most of his friends, as well as sidelined and villainized by the writers of this show and what could be done to appreciate him more in the narrative

Do you have blog recs for people just joining tumblr from twitter?? Preferably mostly ofmd, but I love everything you post about! You’re the first ofmd blog I followed and I don’t want to get involved with anyone involved in drama 💜

that's so nice and I'm so glad you're enjoying my blog :)

Pros and cons of stealing a very delicious JayTim plot from an author who bashes Steph and Damian in what seems like every fic they write, without tagging the character hate, despite repeatedly being asked to, who also puts that shit in the TimSteph tag. Discuss.

So crazy to me seeing people on reddit complain about the wicked movie casting because... They wanted idina and Kristin??? Hello?? Like I don't like that they cast Ariana either but baffling people think they would've ever cast the og actors from 20 YEARS AGO. There's been plenty of stellar actors who have played glinda and elphaba in the past 20 years and idina and Kristin are also ... Too old to be playing college students lmao

[selamat-linting]

break up rumors between two ppl famous in a niche, okay thats normal. the girl did some nasty bullying too and the guy has a reputation for being kind so maybe its just normal it wont work out in the long term... and then oh no, several *new* rumors about the girl doing awful things backstage, all coming out in such a short span of time it feels like a coordinated attack. and all of the sudden i just remembered her ex might be a nice guy but his friends arent and his friend is those circle of guys famous for spreading rumors and dragging people's name through the mud when they fell out of favor with them. the ex might not even ask them to shit on her, its just one of those bro codes they do. damn im suddenly lowkey rooting for this girl despite being a dipshit who bullied others the same way before to other women.

orrr maybe im just on my usual misandry. as yall know, im immediately distrustful of any men with a Marked Reputation of being wholesome or kind. from my experience theyre just as awful, except they have a gaggle of loyal defenders or theyre only horrible to "acceptable targets" (bitchy women, trans women, etc etc) so its even more annoying to remember they exist.

[qprstobin]

I would be more ambivalent to a lot of the Steve hate if it wasn't just people blaming him for other characters getting bad writing like Steve doesn't also suffer from shitty writing lol. Like the Duffers just aren't great show runners why are we blaming fictional characters that they created for that lol
