I can’t find it now, but you had a post about Kabru being high-masking, and you said you didn’t think he was, which is completely fair! I had a different opinion as someone who is high-masking AuDHD and wanted to share (but of course now I can’t find the post 9_9)
Personally, I read Kabru as being high masking autistic, with one critical difference between us: he’s an extrovert. I’m actually more like Milsiril than Kabru - I collect/make dolls, I’d rather be at home than anywhere else, I’ve been called creepy and weird and gloomy for all of those things, but I also learned how to mask relatively early on, so most people don’t ever get to see that side of me. For me it’s a lot of work and energy- most of the time. If I’m around people I like, it’s less so, but people in general take a lot of my energy. Kabru, on the other hand, is very extroverted. He gets a lot of energy from interacting with people, and for the most part his personality and interests are acceptable to the society he lives in. BUT his interest in dissecting people’s motivations and how they communicate and interact and how to move them in the direction he wants them to go, that’s considered overly intense and creepy even by his party. Kabru keeps a lot of his thoughts and honest reactions internal because he’s aware of how people interact and what is or isn’t acceptable. I do the same thing, and I engage in a fair bit of “manipulation” (neutral) as part of my masking - I know that asking people for advice, showing interest in their lives, complaining together about things, etc, will cause them to view me more favorably and I use that to keep myself “safe”, along with basically never talking about my interests. I’m friendly and open and helpful and I almost never fight back against anything, so people “like” me. It’s not all *fake*, but it’s not the whole truth either. I’d rather not engage in conversation at all, because I can’t talk honestly about my interests without being considered creepy- but if Kabru’s special interest is people and how they interact, to some degree he can talk about his interests without it seeming weird.
Anyways, that’s my perspective :D also thank you for being a Milsiril defender, it’s… really painful to see people calling her manipulative and superior. I know a lot of it is bc ppl DO NOT understand anyone who likes dolls as an adult but like….. liking dolls has less than nothing to do with “needing to feel superior” or in control -_-
Hello!! I collect dolls too!!! Proud to be nº1 Milsiril defender.
That's an interesting perspective! As far as I understand (I'm autistic too so I don't have personal experience to how allistic people work) everyone does some amount of masking, as in everyone has a version of themselves they use to interact with others and that "mask" usually falls when you're with people who know and understand you better
As I understand that type of mask is expected in society? Like you wont act at work the same way you do with your college friends (usually). But as some tumblr post said "we are the mask and the wearer" as in those masks are still a part of who they are.
That's why I said I didn't think Kabru was high masking, I hadn't heard that term before so I was confused
Maybe I don't fully get it but keeping some parts of yourself inside and not expressing it to people who wont understand is common among allistic and autistic people but masking is this but in a way more stressful way? Since you aren't just hiding facets of who you are you're making an active effort to hide the whole thing basically.
Kabru's mask seems to come easily to him and it doesn't seem like he makes an conscious effort to go against his nature to hide who he is that's why I said he probably doesn't do high masking in that sense. But in another sense he IS highly adaptable to the people around him and studies how people act so I understand that perspective! It's more of a personal interpretation tbh.

PLS TALK ABOUT DUNMESHI GHOST TRICK AU!!!
YAAAY WELL!! IF YOU INSIST!!
so briefly to discuss the main roles. chilchuck is yomiel, izutsumi is sissel, laois is lynne, falin is the equivalent of kamilla and marcille takes on the role of missile ! (thus, marcille is also ray, && i’ll elaborate on this later)
the plot is similar to ghost trick!! (…kinda) (not really)
brief plot overview!! it happens in a similar enough universe to ghost trick, but the races from dungeon meshi pass over . i don’t think there will be a dungeon but don’t quote me on that one
but Anyway um. yeah chilchuck got divorced by his wife and it was BAD his wife took the house took the kids he was SO fucked. he dropped out of his job (which was…ummm. engineering maybe, if not rogue ?) and entered a spiral of depression > drink to feel better > hangover > depression. he was quickly gaining an addiction . LUCKILY FOR HIM he had a bit more sense than his dunmeshi counterpart — enough to recognise that his reliance on alcohol was a Bad Thing — so, in order to Recover (or at least replace it with something) he adopted a cat ‼️ he named her izutsumi and they became best friends, especially since it was likely chilchuck wasn’t going to live much longer after she died (half foot lifespans)
a few months into this he was falsely accused of armed robbery . he already had a pretty bad reputation around the area for being somewhat of a lousy guy, so he was taken into questioning and then. yeah whatever happened with yomiel 👍 temsik meteor, holding lynne (or in this case laios) hostage, etc etc
you know how this goes . chilchuck got revenge on the officers who cornered him && now senshi is in prsion . yeag . he (senshi) had two wards under his care, who were laios and falin. they all also shared an apartment with falins VERY close friend marcille who was very intelligent but not wise at all !
the first loop happens, and marcille got stuck there but sticks with it in the hopes of saving falin (…why? what happened to falin. can anyone hear me the number of plot holes in my own au are astounding). she eventually took the form of a log with a small sprout at the end of it (a reference to her staff) . she calls herself ‘bud’ !
you know the rest. izutsumi wakes up, sees chilchucks body & assumes it is hers and continues on without knowing how to read. etc etc .
“what about the characters you haven’t mentioned?” i’m working on it 😭!! i’m thinking senshi is jowd, Maybe (if not obvious by the story overview). kiki is inspector cabanela, maybe, and namari and kaka are her Right Hand Detectives(TM) with varying amounts of respect for her (playful sibling rivalry vs. kikimari perhaps?), but that does leave the issue of ‘why does senshi know kiki???? hwhuh’. shirou is the justice minister, maybe??? inutade is also here in the form of a dobermann i think. somewhere . inutade izutsumi best friends every universe
#gt/dm#shrimper chatter#it’s not fully fleshed out yet so if you have ideas i’d be more than happy to hear them 👀#i’m unsure whether to lean into the gt-ness or dm-ness but ah i will manage !!!#also in this one izutsumi is Full Cat#—ish#AND there are so many plot holes slams my fists into the ground. is it clear i haven’t thought this through#my original plan was to make senshi have been falsely accused of murder. and he confessed and was slapped in prison#and chilchuck would have did what Yomiel Did for revenge / as a form of protest. and shit. bcoz he knew senshi was innocent#but that fell flat for one reason and one reason only: WHO IS SENSHI MEANT TOKILL????#that dwarf guy he foiught with?!?!?! IDK#still i do think my previous idea is better because it makes chilchuck seem much more sympathetic…idk idk#anyway as for falin… she’s kidnapped by whoever beauty & dandy are right? something happens maybe . hmm#maybe she was killed by the rock the first time ?#ghost trick spoilers#loveandfrogman

do you have any character analysis posts you're working on? i'm currently mulling Daya/Dia over in my head right now. In general, I'm thinking a lot about Kabru's team because they don't show up much in the manga and won't be in the show much longer as noticeable players, but have quite a bit of outside-the-manga content to comb through. Personally, I like the idea of Rin and Dia becoming friends with Marcille post-canon, but I want to know them better first. I know Rin pretty well already. 1/2
(for example, Rin/Dia/Marcille seem to like clothes, and i want to draw them clothes shopping.) And I ask this not to put all the work on you! I want to discuss these characters with somebody, and you're one of the only ones I can think of who enjoys doing in-depth dives into the side characters of Dungeon Meshi. You, summerboletes, shisurus, and ambrosiagourmet are some other blogs i can think of that made great meta posts. You can reply to this privately if you want! 2/2 (think about it. daya has a boyfriend and marries him post-canon. marcille loves romance and loves clothes. it'd be adorable if she helped daya find a wedding dress. like kabru introduces them and dia (god i'm so used to writing 'daya') mentions her wedding and marcille immediately pounces on her with eyes sparkling in excitement. i plan to write this fic one day)
This idea is so cute! I’ll also check out those other blogs you mentioned when I have the time to hehe~ I do latch onto minor characters easily but it doesn’t mean I have much to say about everyone. Dia (agreed btw, the situation with Daya vs Dia is confusing)… I do like her, but I feel like her Adventurer’s Bible profile sums it all up quite nicely and straightforwardly honestly. You’re right though her reaction to the treasure bugs was so cute and honestly surprising considering her appearance and demeanor, she does like pretty things and jewelry I could def see her going shopping. More content of her would definitely be fun, I’d read your fic!! I do love imagining how everyone’s relationships are like in Kabru’s party, the intricacies of it… I haven’t mulled it over enough though. I’ve been thinking of Mickbell more because of recent posts though, also Rin… If you’d like, the dunmeshi discord I’m in would be a good place to brainstorm about it I think! Hmu for an invite if you want
Summing up the posts I’m working on was long so here’s a cut out of mercy
I have 78 drafts on tumblr currently oh boy… The thing about my process is that I ramble easily but then I need to compile panels to illustrate the points and that’s real tedious… Character analysis wise - I’m most hyped about a Falin one on the topic of if she’s a people pleaser, how much does she care, what’s her way of thinking etc etc, also her differences with Laios because I hate seeing people seriously say they’re the same person. - Also a Cithis one that I just need to streamline at this point. I want to analyze her demeanor, poke at her psychology and analyze her relationships, she’s fascinating. - Oh I’m so stupid I almost forgot to mention the one I’ve been working on currently about Thistle, the age shenanigans but in an in-world way where yes it’s wonky and it means something. He hauntssss me I have so many thoughts on Thistle & Falin lately. Like, offtopic for the analysis but… Falin loves nature and Thistle is named after a flower… Imagine her post-canon coming across wild thistles and feeling a rush of fondness and she doesn’t know why… Thistles have thorns but they taste sweet… Peel of his thorns and eat him pls.
I have more Chilchuck & family thoughts coming, and more Toshiro & family, but these will have more of a casual brainstorm & speculating tone to them, I also just need to streamline these… Like I am obsessed about Toshiyuki and Chilchuck’s alcoholism I’m sorry
Beyond those the topics of the character analysis become more specific, like - How much social awareness does Laios have? Not none, not a lot, but the specifics can be blurry in ways I think are interesting, he was sensitive to people’s judgements in his hometown after all, and he does worry about others’ perception of him… He does know that buzzcut guy was taking advantage of him, etc etc. - There’s an extensive one I want to make on how the winged lion reflects abusive relationships, like how he targets all his ‘meals’'s specific weaknesses and draws out the worst in each of them. A lot of Dunmeshi is about unity and overcoming prejudices & differences & flaws and forming deep and long-lasting bonds despite it all, and amongst all of it it’s like… How flawed relationships with flawed people can still be made into somehing good and healthy that make the world brighter… Except the winged lion there to represent abusive relationships which you need to fucking DITCH, lol. - And on the topic of Dunmeshi & relationships I want to talk about it and queerness, especially in the queerplatonic sense of blurring lines, and Izutsumi + Laios’ relationship to touch should feature in those.
And my crown jewel but I’m soooo hyped about the Marcille & Chilchuck’s arcs one I’m working on it’s gonna go over so much stuff I’m obsessed about, like the importance of books in Marcille’s life, what the succubi reveal about the characters in what ways, the theme that’s so prevalent in Dunmeshi of idealization, Marcille’s imagery as a dungeon lord, a shepherd a general a princess a monster a damsel a woman in mourning…
But that’s enough for heavy ones, side characters wise: doing quick posts like for the gold-stripper characters has been great, but those usually come to me on the same day that I post them. I might make some analysis posts on say Mickbell or Holm or Otta, but I don’t have the thread I want to follow yet. Flamela’s been on my brain so much too…
Mostly though there’s just a lot that I wouldn’t write analysis for, but that I’d love to explore in fanfics! For example, the hienbeni I want to write the most rn is about the surges of anger that Benichidori gets, impulsive and stressed out. I haven’t made a post on my Izutsumi & Benichidori brotp and all the interesting parallels I think I have, but I’ve written a fic on it! Same about Chilchuck’s daughters and their relationship with his alcoholism, etc. I explored the guilt and confliction he may feel about his wife in my fic Enough as well, etc etc. You can see my fics here! For Kabru’s party lately mickrin has been having a chokehold on my brain, I’d love love love to explore Rin’s and Mickbell’s characters and issues through fics for them. As I think you might have figured, I love to explore characters through the lenses of relationships they have with others (Cithis & Mithrun and Pattadol, Thistle and Falin, etc), and that’s why for example I love to make posts that pitch ship ideas, I think specific dynamics can really have a lot to say about either characters. Oh another one’s toshimari, I want to make a fic about them and their feelings of being foreigners and not being able to integrate well to The Island, through the plot of them going to a restaurant as coworkers and the food they eat there~
These are only the ones I have at the top of my head though………. Someone help me Hopefully this post wasn’t boring lol, but yeah those are my wips rn. Need to make posts on toshimari, kabushuro, cithaios, cittadela and ships like that I think have interesting potential too. Many of these I’ve mentioned here I’ve had in my drafts for like 6 months btw gdvd 😭
#Fumi updates#Rinsha fana#marcille donato#diamond of sadena#Ask#wips#I like to have a ‘narrative’ of sorts when doing analysis posts so things feel like they have an aim#which is why finding an angle or focusing on specific scenes or a dynamic is important#Like i might make a dia x holm post that details what i think their personality traits and life experiences are and how i think that could#explore their characters in interesting or fun ways but a dia or holm analysis on their own eh idk. I do think Holm’s more cryptic though#What do his spirits mean to him? How does his religion affect him? He freezes up when there’s too much going on… I love you#I’m just rambling now though save me

Yo! Real random thing, but your siren Sanji post caught my attention when you mentioned that you've become interested in the thought of Sanji eating people. I have a weird au and Sanji does cook people for the crew, depending on the person. Don krieg was his first test in my au. Kinda curious in your siren au? (love the art by the way!)
hello! my ideas re: sanji eating people weren’t really specific to my siren drawing so much as just an idea for an au where sanji eats people (i haven’t really thought of a specific reason/backstory) and is kinda just a manifestation of my hannibal brain worms & some recent dungeon meshi fanart ive been seeing.
i’m putting most of this under read more, warnings for cannibalism, mild gore, etc
but the idea is pretty much that zoro finds out that sanji’s a cannibal and starts to bring him some organs/limbs from people who he kills for their bounties before he hands them over to the world gov for payment. and eventually, the curiosity gets to him, not re: eating people, but what it’d be like to get eaten, exacerbated by his growing obsession/interest in sanji. and it eventually comes to a point where zoro starts to cut out some of his own organs that aren’t as important (a kidney, part of his liver, etc) to give to sanji and watches him eat (its a whole entire fucked up becoming one type of thing, like they could just explore eachother’s bodies but i guess this works too). and the codependency/obsession gets worse to the point that zoro doesn’t have much more to give without severely affecting his health, but driven by his love (whether its real or he just thinks its love) he cuts open his chest to let sanji eat straight from the source (id like to think that sanji goes straight for his heart for symbolic purposes).
I also have a version of this in my mind where luffy is the cannibal and sanji is his friend/chef who knows his secret and is trying to keep him well fed so that he doesn’t go terrorizing the general public. and one day zoro gets lost in the back alleys of the town that they’re in and comes across sanji expertly carving a dead body to eventually cook up for luffy. sanji threatens to kill him, but zoro offers to help, since he’s already a bounty hunter and the world government probably won’t notice if he turns in some dead pirates w a few pieces missing. so zoro catches pirates w bounties, brings them to sanji to remove some meat, and then sanji cooks them for luffy. i haven’t really thought about if sanji also eats people in this particular au, but i think that if there were a shortage of meat for luffy, sanji would be the one to sacrifice parts of himself and maybe there’s a scene where he guides zoro on how to carve out parts of him.
i’ve just been thinking a lot about how there’s some jokes made in one piece about luffy eating his crewmates (i think there’s a joke early on when they don’t have food, and i think there’s a few jokes made at chopper’s expense) and i don’t think that oda will ever explore this, but again, w hannibal and dungeon meshi on my mind, my thoughts on it have been kinda manifesting in weird ways.
i also think that it’s more in character for sanji to be sacrificing himself (in general) than for zoro to be sacrificing himself in my cannibal!sanji au, but guess that’s just how it shakes out (cannibalism as a metaphor for love etc etc).
but also speaking specifically about siren!sanji, when i was drawing it, i did imagine that the heart that he’s eating is zoro’s (re: cannibal!sanji au). i also initially had his eyebrow curl the other way (re: germa genes activating) but changed it last min cause it would’ve been covered by his hair and thus he wouldn’t really b recognizable as sanji. maybe germa & family are sirens in the classic maneater sense and sanji was always moreso just fascinated w humans (like disney’s little mermaid) and he befriends zoro, who’s a lonely sailer who got lost at sea. but one day his germa genes activate and ends up eating zoro (who doesn’t see it coming cause he got used to seeing sanji as a friend/docile).
sorry none of this is super fleshed out, but all of these diff aus have been kinda floating around in my head recently. i’ve also been wanting to draw the scene where sanji is eating zoros heart straight from his chest, but idk if my drawing skills are good enough rn to really portray it with the same feeling/vibes that are in my head.
thank you for liking my siren drawing!!
#cw cannibalism#cw mild gore#cw gore#but yeah cannibalism as a metaphor for love etc eating as a metaphor for love#also sanji and zoro still bicker in all of these aus obvi#but yeah sometimes i understand fujimoto and him digging up and eating his fish#id never do it#but i kinda get it#like how some people are ok w their cats eating them if they were to die and no one was around to feed them for a while#service as an act of love to the point that it destroys you#sanji being like ‘why the fuck are you helping me and not reporting me to the police’ and zoro just shrugs#theyre both a little (a lot) fucked up#uhhh if my irls see this im normal#also maybe ill try my zosan open chest idea anyways even if it doesn’t look that nice just to get the feelings out#maybe ill think of more stuff specifically re siren sanji who knows

Heyy whatcha been getting into lately? Alternatively, what have you been enjoying being a hater of lately?
okay first hello i love how this question is phrased hajdks very on brand for me and two uhhh oh boy a lot of stuff tbh!
so to preface. over the years i’ve had many phases where i get out of some irl person based media (usually 1d or some random tv show) and back into animated series, then the inverse happens, the cycle repeats, etc.? so i’m currently back into animated stuff as well as fully leaning into kpop everywhere instead of what i was doing before, where i was trying to limit my posting in general or limiting it to twitter under the guise of trying to seem slightly Normal™️ but now i’m fully leaning into whatever makes me happy and inspired and if that makes me annoying so be it
anyway—in terms of animated shows i’ve been watching one piece for almost a year now as for some reason i couldn’t get into it when i was younger and then was deterred by the series length, but i’m really enjoying it! i’m about to start the long ring long island arc if that means anything to anyone lol. i’ve also been watching and loooving dungeon meshi, and i’m currently reading it as well! i tried reading it a few years ago and stopped a few chapters in (idr why) but now i’m hooked and am struggling to pace myself…. i might try and do some fanart soon 👀
with kpop mmmm i’ve actually been a casual fan since like 2010 (listened to some 2008-2009 but it was mostly early shinee and random kpop compilations on youtube lmao) but have gotten in and out of it several times? now though i’ve been pretty Involved consistently since 2019/2020, although the groups i follow the closest are ateez, oneus and nct (127)!
i saw oneus in seattle last month after missing them twice and had such a good time (i still haven’t finished sorting my pictures though and haven’t posted like. any oops) and i am tryyyying (like. praying on my hands and knees lighting candles talking to the moon levels level trying) to get my hands on VIP1 tickets for ateez in tacoma and tickets go live next week so wish me luck as i will definitely need it with how pricey it’s likely to be… but also i will proudly commit heinous deplorable acts for ateez barricade sooo either way i’m determined to get my way? aka: i want and need my own y/n moment ahfksksn
also to clarify i’m not a shipper or whatever when it comes to kpop! i may enjoy the odd fic or will cringe read things with my friends but it’s nothing like HL for me; it’s a very different dynamic overall and i don’t get those kinda vibes in a serious way from any groups i follow? although with ateez… i can kinda see why they attract some of those kinds of fans i’m ngl
and on the side, i’ve actually been working on original content again! the one group of ocs i tend to pick up and put down has been temporarily sidelined for a pair i dumped a few years back but am currently reworking and actually have a story for now! idk if i’ll do anything proper with said story as comics are exhausting so rn i’m mostly word-vomming into docs and trying to nail down my character designs. when i’ve got things worth sharing though i do plan to share here as well, if anyone would be interested 👉👈
alternately when it comes to my haterism… i still greatly dislike and am exhausted with miss swiftie for numerous reasons and my god my art twitter is swathed in h*zbin h*tel content?? like actually plagued?? otherwise though there are just things i wish i saw less because i’m simply just not interested right now (aka 1d stuff) or in general and don’t want to start disliking those things because i’m seeing them too much
ok def rambled more than i meant to oopsie doopsie but yeah uhh that’s kinda it! anon i hope you are well and enjoying yourself in whatever you are doing rn 💕 and feel free to share if you feel so inclined to!
#ooh been finally watching killing eve (like for real not just sitting in the room while it’s on) and i’m addicted#didn’t list it bc i’m just watching but god i need… i need developments…#haven’t written for a hot minute and honestly dk when i’ll have the desire insp too sorry :(#especially bc all the stuff i need to finish is for something i’m not much into these days i don’t want to force myself bc then the fics#will majorly suck and if you were waiting for an update you will wish you weren’t lmao#i will try though! i aim to finish one day soon!!#alex talks

traumatics! [csa tw, rape tw, abuse tw, jian ghomeshi tw]
An op-ed I read today ACTUALLY SAID that survivors of childhood trauma are unfairly admired for having overcome adversity, to the point where it traumatizes children who have not otherwise been done any great psychological injury by making them ashamed of their privilege. These children, then, routinely lie about their backgrounds to garner sympathy and impress people, for social and professional gain - advantages which people who were abused/poor/subjected to horrific circumstances like war/etc as children are just HANDED by circumstance! I guess since I am poor and unsuccessful and perhaps not largely adored, I must be a sheltered rich girl who no one ever laid a hand on?
**
[Redacted] thought that the things I told her about my childhood were too traumatic to be real. “You’re, like, a Mary Sue,” she said. When I told her about [redacted], she rolled her eyes. This again.
**
There are tons of memoirs that stress tragedy. Lifetime movies. Autobiographical comics, even. Everyone loves to see a character suffer and overcome. Or maybe just suffer. They like to feel shocked, then good about themselves because they think that makes them empathetic. It’s different from the quiet, stunned response, the sympathetic misery, the gentle respect, that a friend gives me. “That’s awful. I’m sorry.”
**
There’s this weird-ass ongoing Public Discourse about the appropriateness of fanfiction that romanticizes, eroticizes, and apologizes for sexual violence. There are a lot of people who are REALLY defensive about the idea that fanfiction could even do those things. They accuse others of “not knowing the difference” between “REAL rape and fiction.” If this makes you uncomfortable, it’s because you were never abused, is what that means. If you clarify that you were, in fact, abused, they get mad at you for assuming that they weren’t, even if you didn’t. A real survivor wouldn’t assume that anyone is not a survivor, after all. A real survivor wouldn’t do a lot of things that you, specifically, do, or - more importantly - are said to do.
**
When I said I had been raped, [Redacted] called me a rape apologist. I was a rape apologist specifically for calling my abuse rape.
What I tried to say was: I wasn’t allowed to have any sexual agency. I was shamed for expressions of desire. He would solicit signs of affection from me, then aggressively shut them down for being wrong. He called me a slut. He said degrading things about my sexual orientation constantly. And, also, he raped me.
What I tried to say was: Lots of DV advocates agree that “withholding sex” can be part of a pattern of abusive behavior. No one is saying that it’s abusive on its’ own. It is not abusive, for example, when a friend who is suicidal reaches out to me for help. It is abusive that I was made to do suicide intervention with my ex-father at the age of five, that he used suicide to threaten, control, terrorize, and shame me. Sometimes, things that are good or neutral fit into patterns of abuse in specific ways.
What they said I said was: It is abusive to say no to sex. Not having sex with someone is basically rape.
What they said I said was: Asexuals are all rapists and should be raped themselves.
What kind of a monster would say those things? Someone who loves rape. Who is obsessed with rape.
**
Monsters are the ones who have to flee in the night from villagers with pitchforks. Fortunately my former father prepared me for just this eventuality.
**
J*an Gh*meshi’s recent essay describes very carefully a post-traumatic response. Anger and shame and fear so powerful it forces you out of yourself. You become paranoid, emotionally terrorized. You run through the names of everyone you know in your head. Who can you really trust? Who are you safe with? Do you know how this person feels about you? Maybe they’re lying? Better to withdraw. You feel alienated. You are exhausted, numb, shell-shocked, dissociative. You cannot envision a future beyond this. You don’t want to. The path out is too hard. You’ll never make it.
But of course, he rallied. He overcame. He has found moments of beauty and peace with strangers, moments when he is grounded and he understands great truths of the universe. J*an Gh*meshi will be okay. But those bitches should still be sorry. He’s been through such hell. They could never imagine, probably, what it’s like to be so abused. The people who sympathize with him do so because they know. They’ve been through real hardship. Nothing so trivial as rape.
**
I can’t, like, call in sick to a hotline shift or to work or whatever with PTSD.
I can’t be like: Sorry! I had flashbacks last night, and I’m tired and shaky today, and I’m in an insomniac phase because of the night flashbacks so I’m exhausted, and I haven’t felt like I can eat so my blood sugar’s super low, and I’m really afraid because of [details of specific situation redacted because the internet is creeps] and I just feel so helpless and depressed. I feel safer in my apartment so I need to just stay in today.
If it a sympathetic, flexible, progressive environment, I can sometimes say I’m having a “personal crisis”. Let them imagine something they might take seriously. If such a thing exists.
**
It’s funny, isn’t it, how there’s Victim Privilege when its’ convenient, but it never really seems to apply to me, or you, or her, or them over there, or her, or him, or her, or her. Rape Victim Privilege is people thinking you are cool and smart and brave and tough and capable of surviving difficult circumstances.
Rape Victim Privilege is being believed.
**
[Redacted] believed me. Was he the first one? He might have been. He believed me so much. He wanted to save me. I was so young and fragile. He could believe I’d been abused because I was just so tragic, like a wounded swan.
Less young and fragile when, last year, I reached the age he was when we first interacted. By then, I was just “unhealthy.” It is unfair of me to think that maybe that’s just code for “unsexy”.
**
I’m just so tired and angry and, above all, crazy. I’m crazy. They said it so many times it finally became true! Or, maybe, it was always true.
**
The B*ch*l*r is a really bad show.

POSES LOUDLY plot pls
@divinedgrace: ( send ‘plot please!’ and i’ll give you a plot i want for our muses! )
ok first of all i just want to say that i love l’arachel she is arguably my favorite character in fe8 despite the fact that i’ve never played fe8 but she has so much personality and i rly love her for it + I LOVE UR L’ARACHEL !!!!! SO MUCH !!!! so w/o further ado…….. potential plots under the read more???
1. lukas: ok so lukas is kind of dead inside + he’s kind of fucked up in 40 different ways but i was entertaining the idea of some sort of au in which he serves as l’arachel’s retainer?? lukas ( despite being of noble birth himself ) was basically sold by his half-brother to the deliverance so i was thinking it could be an interesting au if we replace the deliverance w/ the house of rausten instead BASICALLY I’M PROPOSING BODYGUARD AU 👀👀 i’m not well-versed in the storyline of fe8 so i was thinking that … a modern bodyguard au could potentially be interesting as well ?? in which l’arachel is the ambitious heir of the powerful house of rausten and lukas is her slightly exasperated bodyguard that l’arachel drags everywhere but lukas who basically develops an undying loyalty / would essentially do anything for her regardless of what she asks
2. laius: i don’t know if you’re familiar with dungeon meshi but it’s essentially a manga about a dungeoneering rpg party ( laius the warrior class, marcille the mage, etc, etc ) who set out to rescue laius’ sister from a dragon but a major component of dungeon meshi is FOOD and i love / live for food-related aus and laius is a giant well-meaning idiot but l’arachel … who owns some kind of café / bakery … and laius who works there as well … might be kind of cute … i’m struggling on the plot aspect of it
but i also like the idea of rpg au / tangled au ?? WHETHER LAIUS OR L’ARACHEL IS RAPUNZEL IS UP FOR DEBATE either one would be Hysterical i think and i would absolutely be on board for it 👌
3. sonya: ok l’arachel is gorgeous sonya is gorgeous and arguably tangled au w/ l’arachel + sonya could also be a Good Time but i also kind of dig ‘we used to date but broke up because of dumb reason here but you’re my new coworker at the office’ au ? potentially. Potentially? this is honestly out of want for sonya + l’arachel in smart business wear because sonya + l’arachel in designer blazer jackets is Some Kind of Aesthetic …………. that or some kind of business partnership au in which sonya + l’arachel used to be good friends when they were younger but one of them moved away and now they’ve inherited their parents’ companies or something and they’re trying not to let Personal Feelings get in the way of Business but listen i want them to meet at fancy parties + etc, etc.
i also always dig ?? ‘my/your date stood me up + you/i decided to join you to make you feel better’ au but YA THAT’S ALL I GOT SO FAR !!! aus are basically my Lifeblood
#divinedgrace#ask#( *ooc )#( IM SORRY I TOOK SO LONG SWEAT DROP EMOJI )#( im rly bad at talking to people but I RLY WANT TO WRITE W/ YOU !! )#long post /#( IF UR NOT INTO ANY OF THESE THATS OK TOO !! )#( hmu if u have any other ideas or if u are interested !! )

Gabriel Dropout Episode 2 Notes
Eating lunch alone (in school) is strongly associated with “bocchi” characters: people with no friends (or at least no friends at school). I’m sure that’s true outside Japan as well, to varying degrees, but it’s worth noting for its mimetic nature in modern anime/manga/etc.
Friendless characters as an archetype—specifically those who want friends (whether they admit it or not) but are unable to make any—have seen a big boom in popularity over the last several years*, and this “eating alone” trope has risen along with it. There are several terms used to refer to it: -Benjo-meshi (toilet meal): eating lunch in a bathroom stall (so people won’t see you eating alone). -Hitori-meshi (one-person meal): general term for eating alone. -Bocchi-meshi (“bocchi” meal): like a student slang version of hitori-meshi, but especially for “bocchi.”
Aside from the bathroom, the roof or the landing of the stairwell leading to the roof are popular anime/manga locations for bocchi characters to eat their lonely lunches.
*See series like Haganai, Watamote, or Sanova B**chi for stuff that deals with it directly.
This says “Hitori-meshi Set.” Note the non-lunch box shaped bag. That’s why it’s part of the set: it doesn’t look like a traditional lunch (the ubiquitous bento box), but more like the bag you keep your gym clothes in, so people don’t realize she’s taking her lunch off to go eat alone. (I might be reading too much into this part.)
An example of a real life (Disney-themed) bag designed for carrying school gym clothes.
Melon bread is an incredibly common snack food item in Japan; it can be found in any store that sells bread, from 7-Elevens to fancy bakeries—there are even specialty stores that sell only it. Basically it’s a hunk of white bread with a layer of cookie baked on top of it. It generally is not melon flavored; the name is widely accepted to come from how the shape looks like certain varieties of melons that are common in Japan (think cantaloupe). There are many varieties though, such as chocolate chip, various fruit flavors, various fillings, etc.
Some real melon breads. And a demonstration of concept.
I didn’t notice this until going back through to take screenshots, but I think this shot is intended to show “normally an anime character would be eating up on the roof or landing, but Satanko’s a good girl who obeyed the ‘no entry’ sign.”
This exchange, and several others throughout the show, was basically rewritten by the translator or editor. Not that that’s a bad thing necessarily; instead of trying to force a joke that doesn’t translate well they just wrote a new one. I don’t plan on pointing out every instance because frankly you’re not missing much, so here’s just a couple of examples:
The original joke above is that the words she used, keitai (“framework” here) and shouaku (the “grasp” bit) are the wrong words for what she’s actually trying to say. Instead of “I completely understand everything about how the school works” it turns out something like “I completely control how the school is organized.” Gabe and Vinnie then just repeat the incorrect words back at her confusedly. Note all the hand metaphors immediately before and after this exchange were added in translation as well.
In this one, she just says more or less: “I’d like our group to get started cooking too, but…” “This is who I have to work with...”
And here’s it’s basically just “Your job is to not get in the way.”
So yeah like I said you don’t really miss out much on these and really most of the changes make it more interesting (good on the TL), so I’m not going to bring them up in the future unless it’s something big or of particular interest.
These machines are super common in certain types of Japanese restaurants: ramen shops, “set meal (teishoku)” style places, katsu places, beef bowl places, etc. Basically they automated most of the “taking your order” part of the experience; you get your ticket from the machine, hand it to the employee, and wait for your food. There are buttons for stuff like “extra rice” or whatever options as well.
Udon is usually sold as “X udon,” where X is the main topping. Curry udon, tempura udon, etc. “Kitsune” refers to a slice of tofu prepared by deep frying it twice (so called because in folklore kitsune love to eat fried tofu). “Tanuki” refers to bits of fried tempura batter (tenkasu). There are several theories as to where the “tanuki” came from, but my favorite is that people would order tempura udon without (nuki) the [thing in the tempura, usually prawn or vegetables] (tane), i.e. “tane-nuki.” Which sounds like tanuki, and tanuki are similar animals to kitsune sort of, and we say kitsune udon, so hey why not?
You usually get a little tenkasu even when just plain udon, which is what’s in the anime picture. The pink and white thing is kamaboko, slices of loaves of steamed pureed fish. It’s good! The deep fried tofu on the right (aburaage) is also very good, and a lot sweeter than it might look.
Shichimi is an extremely common condiment in restaurants in Japan, you can find it pretty much anywhere. It’s up there with soy sauce or salt. It’s great if you like a bit (or a lot) of a spicy kick to your food. However, if you’ve not been exposed to how the kanji are read before, it’s easy to read them the wrong way—I see this a lot with foreigners who have some level of Japanese knowledge (like college courses) but are in Japan for the first time. Usually if someone gets it wrong they say “nanami,” not “nana-aji,” though. “Tougarashi,” the other three kanji there and the word for (spicy) peppers, is also easy to misread if you’re not familiar.
In both cases, someone in a Japanese high school should be familiar already.
The word translated here as “husband-hunting” is “konkatsu.” Konkatsu is a fairly new word: coined in 2007, it won the national annual “trending new word/slang” contest in 2009. It’s a play on the phrase for “job-hunting,” shuukatsu. Instead of looking for a job, you’re looking to get married. There’s a bit of added nuance though: shuukatsu is especially common when referring to the period of job hunting by a college student before their graduation. Due mostly to the strong (though fading fast) tradition of lifetime employment in Japan, if you don’t have a job lined up before you graduate college, you’re going to find it much harder to find one later, even moreso than in somewhere like the US—most college students basically spend a huge chunk of time skipping classes to attend job interviews at dozens, sometimes even over a hundred, companies. (The difficulty level of just passing a college course in Japan, on average, relatively low, and GPA doesn’t matter much.)
So there’s more than a hint of desperation and racing-the-clock to konkatsu. “I need to find someone to marry my ass ASAP, before I’m too old to get anybody.”
She actually uses “chuuni” here, if you’re familiar with that term (I know you are). More specifically, the line is more like “a chuuni despite being in high school already.” The “...at your age?” nuance kind of got lost in the translation.
Food break.
The phrase Leonardo uses here, yokkyuufuman, has a strong nuance of being sexually frustrated, hence the reaction by Her Highness.
She actually says “that would be tiring,” not that she’s already tired.
Maybe worth pointing out here that Our-Future-Lord-and-Antisavior’s style of apartment is much newer and nicer than the one Gaber and Vigs are living in. The benefits of being born into an important family, I guess.
That Cafe au Lait has mochi (rice cake) in it for some reason. Also the milk brand in the back means like “Hella Milk.”
