Can we hear more about your 96 silly's? (sorry If I already sent this, there was a glitch in sending it)

YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!

also dw i only got one ask 😁

capn maríposa (or just capn)

bella adonia (agent 4)

hachi ayuko (“agent” 8)

(starting with bella i hope that’s okay!)

(also i’m just going to call capn maríposa otherwise it might be confusing)

when agent 4 first joined the squidbeak splatoon there was a lot of general confusion, callie had just disappeared marie was tweaking out etc etc, but since maríposa was the only one making sure marie was okay at the time it was kind of a heavy load for her, which is why when agent 4 stepped up maríposa was really grateful (first impression was respect and admiration). as agent 4 went on to mostly clear the octarian army with ease to save callie, maríposa was like “wow”! and that’s around when her crush started. agent 4 and maríposa stayed in really close contact up until octo expansion, when marí had to go offline and then she met agent 8. after seeing 8 in battle and being defeated by her, marí started questioning if she was poly (spoiler alert), only to have agent 8 ask her out. since marí was confused about her feelings and didn’t really know what to do, she said she would think about it and get back to 8. while 8 and 4 were living together 4 started to develop a crush on 8, and since 4 was 8’s main tether to the inkling world 8 started to think that she might like 4 as well as maríposa (whaaat!!!). but before 4 could confess, marí got back to 8 and they started dating. at this 4 started feeling really jealous of 8 and contemplated a lot of wonderings, got callie’s advice, and arranged a hangout with them. 4 confessed to both of them there, it was awkward for like 1 minute, but then 8 and marí mentioned they liked her too. apparently they had talked about that outside of 4 and were cool with it. now everyone is a happy poly relationship and i probably missed some stuff but i love them a lot and yeah!

(sorry if this wasn’t exactly what you were asking 🥲 fear not though i’ll be posting lots of info about them soon)

I've been thinking a lot lately about how Kabru deprives himself.

Kabru as a character is intertwined with the idea that sometimes we have to sacrifice the needs of the few for the good of the many. He ultimately subverts this first by sabotaging the Canaries and then by letting Laios go, but in practice he's already been living a life of self-sacrifice.

Saving people, and learning the secrets of the dungeons to seal them, are what's important. Not his own comforts. Not his own desires. He forces them down until he doesn't know they're there, until one of them has to come spilling out during the confession in chapter 76.

Specifically, I think it's very significant, in a story about food and all that it entails, that Kabru is rarely shown eating. He's the deuteragonist of Dungeon Meshi, the cooking manga, but while meals are the anchoring points of Laios's journey, given loving focus, for Kabru, they're ... not.

I'm sure he eats during dungeon expeditions, in the routine way that adventurers must when they sit down to camp. But on the surface, you get the idea that Kabru spends most of his time doing his self-assigned dungeon-related tasks: meeting with people, studying them, putting together that evidence board, researching the dungeon, god knows what else. Feeding himself is secondary.

He's introduced during a meal, eating at a restaurant, just to set up the contrast between his party and Laios's. And it's the last normal meal we see him eating until the communal ending feast (if you consider Falin's dragon parts normal).

First, we get this:

Kabru's response here is such a non-answer, it strongly implies to me that he wasn't thinking about it until Rin brought it up. That he might not even be feeling the hunger signals that he logically knew he should.

They sit down to eat, but Kabru is never drawn reaching for food or eating it like the rest of his party. He only drinks.

It's possible this means nothing, that we can just assume he's putting food in his mouth off-panel, but again, this entire manga is about food. Cooking it, eating it, appreciating it, taking pleasure in it, grounding yourself in the necessary routine of it and affirming your right to live by consuming it. It's given such a huge focus.

We don't see him eat again until the harpy egg.

What a significant question for the protagonist to ask his foil in this story about eating! Aren't you hungry? Aren't you, Kabru?

He was revived only minutes ago after a violent encounter. And then he chokes down food that causes him further harm by triggering him, all because he's so determined to stay in Laios's good graces.

In his flashback, we see Milsiril trying to spoon-feed young Kabru cake that we know he doesn't like. He doesn't want to eat: he wants to be training.

Then with Mithrun, we see him eating the least-monstery monster food he can get his hands on, for the sake of survival- walking mushroom, barometz, an egg. The barometz is his first chance to make something like an a real meal, and he actually seems excited about it because he wants to replicate a lamb dish his mother used to make him!

...but he doesn't get to enjoy it like he wanted to.

Then, when all the Canaries are eating field rations ... Kabru still isn't shown eating. He's only shown giving food to Mithrun.

And of course the next time he eats is the bavarois, which for his sake is at least plant based ... but he still has to use a coping mechanism to get through it.

I don't think Kabru does this all on purpose. I think Kui does this all on purpose. Kabru's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder should be understood as informing his character just as much as Laios's autism informs his. It's another way that Kabru and Laios act as foils: where Laios takes pleasure in meals and approaches food with the excitement of discovery, Kabru's experiences with eating are tainted by his trauma. Laios indulges; Kabru denies himself. Laios is shown enjoying food, Kabru is shown struggling with it.

And I can very easily imagine a reason why Kabru might have a subconscious aversion towards eating.

Meals are the privilege of the living.

“People are inherently terrible” no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesn’t suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know it’s hard to see sometimes, I know there’s pain everywhere. But look, there’s a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, there’s someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, there’s someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, there’s good, there’s good, there’s good. Look!!!!
