#it’s TASTY

Found a Darkthur sketch in procreate from about a month ago, decided to clean it up the tiniest bit to post. I know this isn’t necessarily the only or the most likely interpretation, but I absolutely love the narrative idea of this Arthur cutting off his own left arm when John gets too uppity.

Love that the entire cast of Kn8 looks at Kafka, says “Yeah, that’s a Friend”, and unanimously decides to use his first name.

WHY IS IT SO GOODDDDD

“Was that necessary?” Sevika asks, a puff of smoke following each syllable. Then a fading trail dissipates as she cranes her neck back to glance the rising blue flames.

Silco says nothing, as per usual. He only dips his neck lower and flowers forward. She huffs and takes advantage of her longer stride to outpace him, the tassel of fur at the end of her waving tail smacking him in the face.

Silco opens his jaws, but they only slap close onto air. Sevika is tempted to smack him again but things otherwise. Tary acid still clings to his teeth and mixes with his saliva.

A chirp draws both of their attentions away.

Sevika glares at the stripe of blue trailing off center from the top of his head down to the middle of his neck. ‘Half a bite sized snack,’ she had called the damned wyrm once. Two owlish eyes glare back at her.

Then she looks to the burning city where she knows there are steaming pools of thick, black acid slowly dissolving bodies that have long stopped struggling, and crushed architecture hundreds of years old, now turned to dust and ruin.

She is forced to wonder, who is it all for?

i love the extras of dungeon meshi in how it fleshes out the world because they make it so much more evident how race affects every part of the story while avoiding the zootopia racism problem. like obv a main theme of the story is like, humanity and desire, 'to eat is to live', etc, but since the majority of it takes place in the dungeon isolated from society and thru the lens of laios, the racial aspects play out more like shadows on a wall for most of the story.

then in the extras we get comics like this

which at a glance fleshes out the racial aspects via a character explaining the racial rules of universe - humans have x amount of bones, while orcs and kobolds have more. however, if u take it less straightforwardly, it points out how the concept of 'human' is a constructed concept in the world. the fact that there are different categories of human in different parts of the world based off of what types of humanoids occur there is already a demonstration of this. in response, the bones explanation seems to kabru and the characters as an objective way of measuring humans vs nonhumans.

but obv, when the culture was deciding what humanoids were humans and nonhumans, they weren't blindly analyzing skeletons and then deciding. just visually, one can glean that orcs and kobolds look less like the ingroup of tallmen, elves, dwarves, gnomes, etc. the bones explanation appears as a justification for that immediate prejudice under a scientific guise - I'm sure that one could come up with the same number of physical differences between a gnome and an elf that they would find between a tallman and an orc. it sounds a lot better to say 'well, an orc has 230 bones while a human has 206' then 'well, an orc looks ewwww yucky yucky to me while a human looks normal'.

and what i like abt the comic is that the characters take the explanation at face value for the most part. when a contradiction is brought up in the oni, kabru can neatly slot them into the predetermined number of bones framework. bc that's kinda how it works irl - there r cultural prejudices that we can posthumously justify, and if we find something outside of it, we can twist it to fit into our predetermined binary. however, since the reader does not live in a world where there are orcs and kobolds to be prejudiced against, we can see that flaw in the cultural logic. when the party encounters the orcs, the number of bones has no bearing on their humanity. They r shown to be cliquish and distrusting of outsiders, but not any more than the elves are later in the story.

tldr dungeon meshi worldbuilding is so good
