Do you ever go insane thinking about how every member of Laios' party is extremely atypical for their species, but a lack of exposure and understanding smoothes out these differences and makes everyone think they're the "typical" representation.

Senshi is terrible with other dwarves since he has no practical interest in mining or weapons craft. We cannot know this until Namari and later, Senshi's backstory are introduced. When we see him interact with dwarves, it's awkward and clear there's a fundamental disconnect.

Chilchuck is incredibly tall for a half foot and as such has to manage his weight more than other half foot dungeoneers so he doesnt set off traps. The first detail takes the changlings to properly understand, the second is referenced in text but is fully explained in additional materials. It is plot relevant that people who don't have the exposure to half foots might not even realize they're their own species.

Marcille as a half elf is kind of obvious to many of the elves who encounter her and they're deeply cruel and assume she's driven by a desire to be able to have children but the party never notices and Senshi especially thinks of her as a typical elf even though in truth she's so outcast she could never dine with her mother at the queens table.

Laios and Falin are a bit more complicated, since we as the audience do have context for most of tallman culture, since it mirrors our own mostly, but both of them have magical aptitude that both people like Marcille, who has a lot of access to mana and people like Chilchuck, who has very little and no magical training, fail to understand how isolating it is to have that much potential and aptitude.

Arguably Toshiro and Namari fall into this as well. Toshiro looks like the embodiment of the silent but noble warrior, but his own party and extra material confirm that he's abnormally shy and introverted, something that makes it hard for him even in his own family. Meanwhile Namari is able to stand on her own as a weapons expert and "typical" dwarf, but total dwarves who are total strangers like Dya know who she is and resent her.

Arguably a lot of dungeon meshi is about peeling back layers and assumptions not working out, but it's so great that every member of the core party gets interpreted by others (and maybe the reader) as "typical", especially with the skills line up, as a human fighter, halfling rogue, and an elven mage are so basic a stereotype. But none of are able to achieve that standard. These assumptions and misunderstandings only thrive because each party member is so inexperienced with both the biology and culture of the others. The only way they gain context is either interacting with a wider pool of people or experiencing it for themself. Everything in this story is so layered and I love it.

One of my favorite things about the ASL Brothers is the fact that Ace was the one brought out the sake and proposed becoming brothers.

Not Luffy or Sabo but Ace.

Ace, who believes he is unlovable, Ace who believes that his blood is dirty, Ace who believes that he didn’t deserve to be born, Ace who thinks that his life is worthless, Ace who believes that his mere existence is a crime.

And yet Ace saw these two boys and approached them without apprehension or fear of rejection even though he was proposing something as irrevocable, something as bonding as brotherhood

I just want to make my screen read my online text book out loud to me because my eyes hurt and I'm tired, and they have the audacity to make them all pdf images specifically so people can't "copy text" (so my computer won't recognize it as text and read it for me) and won't let me change it and I can't figure it out so I'll just have to. struggle

Being asexual and possibly aromantic but also being a huge shipper and hopeless romantic is such a wild experience ngl. I'm always freaking out about my favorite ships and giggling internally reading ship fics, getting invested in characters finally kissing or reading about their pining and their love and I think "I want what they have!!"

But then sometimes you have a slamming realization that your sweet shipping scenarios you imagine in your head look totally different irl and that you are extremely aspec.

One time I went down a YouTube rabbit hole and stumbled across Vsauce's "Why Do We Kiss?" video and let me tell you. When I saw that stock video footage of two people kissing each other I was a little flabbergasted lmaooo

can i say something. Enstarries obsession with having arashi wear a skirt or a dress or dress up in pink or whatever because She's a Girl is really fucking annoying and i think some of you need to stop relying on articles of clothing to confirm an already canonically trans womans gender identity. her being a woman doesnt mean she needs to stop wearing pants. and she also does not need to abide by the cisheteronormative view of what being a girl is in order to be a girl either. does she need to look like a barbie doll for you to process her as a canonical woman or something. let her have her own unique identity and preferences and tastes and treat her like her own individual person holy fuck. And also fuyume isnt even wearing a skirt and even if they were they wouldnt have been the first enstars character to do so thank you

And we're a lot alike

In favor, like a motorbike

A sailor and a nightingale

Dancing in convertibles.

And you can hold me like he held her

And I will fuck you like nothing matters.

my friend practically DRAGGED me into watching transformers one and i was like FINE. you owe me one. I’ll give this a chance

my eyes are opened. I cant believe it. I guess i am transformed. It’s peak

[distant-velleity]

okay 💀 i'm gonna post this and then collapse into my bed (im dying from cringe)

meet Allegra Leech, daughter of yuhua and floyd 🥰 she's not canon to yuhua's story post-canon because. like. multiple reasons (that might be elaborated on in another post idk) but there is an alternate timeline where she exists <3

she's, ah, if you couldn't guess--something of a force of nature. if there's something she wants, she'll use any means to get it; whether it be scheming, flattery, or brute force.

aside from loving all things cute and fashionable, what really matters most to her is power and strength, not just the physical kind. magical prowess, intelligence, influence, etc... these are all things she respects and wants to obtain ;)

she is capable of using magic, but i will hopefully develop that and her NRC look/lore at a later date

(more under the cut!)

~

if you couldn't tell, she inherited a lot of obvious traits from both parents (such as yuhua's pre-OB eyes and floyd's teeth)-- although the situation with yuhua's traits is interesting and will have to be explained separately

she also resembles them in terms of expression, since she loves and respects them so dearly-- most notably:

~

i have to confess she isn't. too well developed at the moment despite having existed for months now-- i uhhhhhhhh have been having Issues and i always feel like developing her can be awkward at times SHFKSJFHKSJFSDF

mostly due to. um. you know. i dont really like posting about floyu on here hKSDFJKSFSD im shy

but whatever!!! i haven't seen any other floyd x oc kids so idk if she's too similar to any of them but we ball regardless!!!!

grief is so weird. I'll be sitting here minding my business and then something will remind me of him and suddenly I'm sobbing into my coffee. It doesn't matter that it was 24 years ago, it still stings like it was yesterday.
