Tbh the older I get the more annoying I find it when people writing fic pick a random character (usually other potential love interests that aren’t the main ship) to butcher their actual character and turn into The Bad Guy

Because y’know, if no one’s twirling their moustache and being clownishly evil, how will we possibly have any drama? 🙄

But I have this feeling I’m gonna be full zero tolerance about it in Dungeon Meshi, because… well, how do you miss the point of the story that badly??

It’s a 14 volume series, gonna be a 48 episode (ish) anime, with no bad guy

It’s explicitly stated, in series

Spoilers below

Thistle is not the bad guy

The winged lion is not the bad guy

The last 4 chapters of the manga are dedicated to driving that home, more than once. Even Kabru isn’t the bad guy, and that breaks my heart because his villain vibes are immaculate and his villain arc would clear my skin and water my crops

Even with a big Final Fight and pivotal showdown, Ryoko Kui still made sure to state that no one in the series is a villain

They’re all just people, with different motivations and different understandings of what’s going on, and that drives them to conflict even when everyone is trying to do the right thing

Even when everyone works with the best of intentions, just plain being different people creates plenty of drama and tension and conflict

So before you get lazy and pick a character from the hat to be your Obvious Bad Guy, maybe just. Try. And live up to the series examples? Let them at least have a personality beyond “Must Prevent Ship Getting Together”

And if you try and make it Lycion I’ll kick your ass in your dreams and give you writer’s block, he cured his dysphoria by becoming a literal werewolf and hasn’t given a fuck about anything since, and nor should he

Cithis is literally Right There let her be the evil scheming manipulative bitch she is in canon for no better reason than she fucking wants to she is a gift from Kui to the fandom she literally put Mithrun in a maid outfit Because She Could

She’s perfect fanfic villainess and she doesn’t need a motive beyond “looks like fun” because she’s deadass just Like That and I’m obsessed with her about it

(Although tbh any Kabru ship fic but Kabru is the Obvious Bad Guy just completely self sabotaging at every possible step and being his own worst enemy would kinda fuck)

#dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #delicious in dungeon spoilers #dungeon meshi spoilers #tbh maybe what i want is more cithis fics #that is very possible #but i will also 1000% come for your ass if you try and villainize rin too #her and lycion are my babygirls they have never done a single thing wrong ever #not even all the murder #dungeon meshi meta

FNAF movie Vanessa sucks at “flirting” with Mike

#myart #chloesimagination #comic #fnaf #five nights at freddy's #fnaf vanessa #mike schmidt #vanessa afton #vanessa shelly #fnaf movie #fnaf fanart #MORE VANESSA thoughts 🩵#You guys think Vanessa felt at all embarrassed after asking Mike to dance #like my read on that scene in retrospect is like #she was trying to manipulate him a little by flirting #BUT MIKE just didn’t take the bait at all #so she even changes gears after this less flirting and more being a friend #ITS JUST funny to think despite her trying to trick mike #she still felt a lil rejected by him BAHA #ITS HARD being a murderer accomplice out here #tbh Mike was literally too distracted by the animatronics to even process he was being flirted with #Mike having the trait of not noticing obvious flirts is honestly my favourite #dude has WAY too much on his own mind to even notice #They are silly 🩵

#I was going to add other things but there's something nuts in this being in only Illario's words.#Always thinking about the messy and fraught and just... the genuine grief and choked affection and fucked up love in this relationship.#I think Illario loves him despite it all. Despite the doom and murder. And that the demon thing is a genuinely maddening grief and guilt.#Exactly the same way that Lucanis loves Illario through it all even when it's full of pain and grief and rage and hurt.#I considered adding more Illario following Lucanis in Wigmaker quotes but that's bludgeoning the point a little. The steps one is best.#ty rosie for the screenshot on the codex entry so I can make this post #Illario Dellamorte #Lucanis Dellamorte #Dragon Age: The Veilguard #Tevinter Nights #Dragon Age #Dragon Age The Veilguard #Veilguard #DATV spoilers #Veilguard spoilers #DATV things

#this just in #im not putting this on the art blog it's not worth it lmao #but oh my god . imagine.#imagine being extrajudicially executed by Evil Johnson & Johnson and this is the last thing you see #two of your shithead genius students standing all fruity over ur dying body #i accidentally twinkified birkin but im not used to working on a rlly small scale like this so forgive me #plus he's in his 20s so i couldnt give him wrankles. im so sorry bill ive made you a twink #also wesker what's with the fit #do not need to dress up for a murder #BTW IMPORTANT IS THE PHRASING OF “PARTICIPATING IN THE ASSASSINATION”#they literally did NOTHING to help im not even sure why they were there #they sure as hell didn't kill the dude #resident evil #william birkin #albert wesker #james marcus

When the ghost who read to you as you died activates all of your Must Protect instincts

#payneland #edwin x charles #dead boy detectives #dbda #join me as I try to ignore all of the sad implications hidden on this one #even though I was the one who hid them there #like edwin being scared of spiders #sure but charles thinking about his death as something pathetic?#comparing the way he was murdered by his own friends #to this other boy who escaped HELL?#who is kind and knowledgeable and clearly not weak #unlike charles himself who will never be worthy?#give my boy some self esteem issues #wait i'm not ignoring the sad implications #ignore that I just wanted to show that charles probably thought Edwin was pretty aces

Back at it with my enchanted merthur shenanigans

#when Merlin goes to work #(I am undecided on what he does but I think he does have a job (probably a librarian I’d that’s not TOO cliche…))#he sets Arthur up with a bunch of history books and documentaries to try get him up to date (as much as he can)#and in the evenings they watch all Merlin’s favourite tv shows and movies #I can’t pick what kinds of movies Merlin and Arthur like #I get the feeling they both like pride and prejudice but I’m also biased #I think Arthur would like murder mysteries #ALSO If anyone’s got any fics where Merlin introduces Arthur to modern society please please PLEASE GIVE THEM TO ME #my art #bbc merlin #merlin #merlin emrys #arthur pendragon #merthur

I lied put your clothes back on we’re gonna talk about how Will KNEW Hannibal had a heightened sense of smell yet still leaned over him to grab those patient files only a few days before his and Jack’s plan was to be put into action. Will purposely went to see Freddie that day knowing that Hannibal would smell her on him and have enough time to escape while giving Will deniability as well

#will isn’t stupid he knew exactly what he was doing #he was willing to risk it all for Hannibal because even at his worst Will still wanted him #and that scared him enough to give the final decision to Hannibal #nbc hannibal #hannibal #will graham #hannibal lecter #hannibal s2 #hannigram #murder husbands

Tis but a flesh wound!

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #jin guangyao #lan xichen #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #JGY's little shawl waits for him at the front entrance. It's for him to wear in the cloud recesses because he gets cold easy.#Lan Xichen personally hand knit it for him. This is canon within this universe now.#JGY is failing his little chess game so bad in this scene. He walks up and cutely pouts at LXC to pwease help him in his schemes #And when LXC rightly points out the holes in his reasoning he gets his back up!#But *dude* how the hell are you going to explain how WWX has been doing all these crazy things when the guy was Passed Out.#LXC can even attest to it. Back to JGY holding the idiot ball here; why make a point to press about WWX staying at CR #And not take into account the fact the lan brothers have an incredibly tight bond?#Why was he even *attempting* to drive a wedge between them?#Honestly I know we love to call JGY a schemer but he was so sloppy at so many points. Everything post secret room reveal-#has been a messy scramble to cover up his past transgressions. He is struggling to keep things under control!#He currently is staying in the public favour solely on the quality of his melancholic wet eyes.#You dare accuse jin guangyao of murder? When he's so sopping wet? When he whimpers and whines without a little treat?#To bad he's shown his teeth! Sorry you aren't old enough for dentures and can't put those teeth right back in your mouth.
