#not tagging this as Kabru or Kabru posting or anything bc this is more of a vague post about this fic I like

[figofswords]

i know ive made myself the #1 izutsumi stan in the eyes of all of my friends and probably some of you online people but what if i became a mithrun stan. there is something about him that compels me. i just want to *clenches fist* put him on the drying rack. lovingly stick him into a tupperware for later. make him into. a broth of some sort. do you understand

I’m going crazy nuts. Reading this one fic series I love so bad and I’ve been trying to pace myself and only read a little bit at a time but I’m so excited I just wanna keep reading this stuff and it’s driving me crazy in a good way. Kabru is getting another home cooked meal I’m going to throw up /pos. This is everything I could ever want in a fic. He’s gotten like five home cooked meals in this fic series this is so perfect. I’m going to explode and clutch my hands to my chest and have a heart attack and double over or whatever the word is. This is awesome. I love Kabru eating meals and this fic has him eating lots of meals and meals that are tasty and meals that are good for him!!!! He’s being loved and having meals cooked for him I’m going to lose my mind. And he’s eating the meals!!!! And they’re tasty!!! I need to bust open my skull oughhhh Kabru eating meals that are yummy and good for him 😭😭😭😭 Kabru being loved and cared for and eating properly 😭😭😭😭😭

complaining about dungeon meshi as i said i was gonna do in prev post's tags. i rly am incredibly sick of how Shipping has become the centric focus of this series and -- even as someone who generally prioritises f/f when i think about romance in media -- how post-anime farcille is being held up by its fans. like i have been a fan of DM for 6 years i have not seen anyone talk about shipping like this until the anime started coming out

earlier i saw a post talking about how pushback against farcille feels like... suspicious or whatever bc it's the first Big Thing with the biggest pairing being f/f, and i get what it's trying to say, but i also inherently disagree with it. i don't think this is a misogyny issue i think this is an issue more than anything of dungeon meshi being so noticeably and genuinely really, really compelling in itself, so it being swallowed by shipping is more apparent than it would be with like.... idk seasonal anime #48 with yaoi focus. and so people are going to be loud about it when this happens. i think it's rly moreso just the fact that there's Ship Focus in general than it being about a f/f pairing specifically

although honestly, even if it's not about it being f/f specifically, there IS something to be said regarding how fans of it are handling the pairing that makes it particularly grating. this is not a case of "people overextrapolating for it" for this ship as the post said. i have seen people say farcille is the heart and center of dunmeshi and that their love is the focus of it. i have seen people infer that laios and the rest of his party's efforts mean nothing, because it's marcille who had the greatest hand in everything and she did what she did for falin's sake. that is not overextrapolating. that is corroding the story from the inside out because people want to make it about romance when it's not.

i also think that the way farcille fans have been treating the characters around them gets very odd. like for a big one i'm thinking abt the dismissal of laibru as "two guys standing next to each other" or whatevre ppl have been pulling out for farcille bc it is ridiculous and goes back to what i complained abt in prev post's tags re: alnst with how not everything is MID yaoi vs GODLY yuri. sometimes the m/m pairing is good. the two of them are intentional foils and build a close friendship by the end of the series. their relationship is compelling and to dismiss it to hype farcille shows a lack of understanding of the text you're fighting for.

it also tends to approach... at the very least, lacking a sense of intersectionality. this isn't just Yaoi V. Yuri. kabru, who is the centre of both dunmeshi's most popular m/m pairings, is a brown man. put against a white f/f pairing since because people keep insisting on engaging in some stupid yaoi v yuri war, and he gets thrown under the bus a lot here for that. (not to say the pairings he's part of don't have any issues with how fans portray them, but farcille fan hostility towards pairings that both end up involving him can... approach a weird place.) ((on that note the insane hostility they extend towards toshiro is also really nuts. again. think for a sec before you address this moc you feel is like... threatening your white f/f pairing.)

about me + the blog !

hi there !! you can call me casey :)

here are some things about me & this blog (in no particular order) <3

about me

~ i'm a 23 year old trans dude (he/him), LFG

~ i'm currently in college !

~ my pfp is a lovely gent named yagrum bagarn for anyone curious

~ i'm not too familiar with different personality types (so these may not be entirely accurate) but my mbti type is entp and my enneagram is 5w6 ! i think anyway it’s been a few years shdnfnnfbv

~ i'm kind of awkward (and a bit of a yapper if you can’t tell) and i don’t have a lot of internet friendships BUT i do like interacting with people !! i tend to be quite busy so i may not respond to asks or messages super quickly ! i do like getting them, though, so feel free to just say hi :) i try to be very friendly !

~ this is a side blog !! my main is @istoleyoursweetrolls so if you see that, that’s me! people ik irl follow me there LMAO so i actually don’t post much of my own writing and stuff on it. BUT I am bad at using tumblr so i may accidentally use it when replying to people and stuff. i don’t really know how sideblogs work tbh so just know, that’s me

~ i LOVE TES (Morrowind especially!) and various manga & anime :)) most of what I talk about is csm, jjk, witch hat atelier, dunmeshi, hgsn & fire punch. x-men, got, so many things... i like a LOT of stuff and I tend to really fixate on one thing at a time (so you’ll definitely know what I’m losing my mind over based on my reblog and posting habits lmao). most of my tesposting is on my main blog though!

~ feel free to talk to me about the stuff that I like! I’m always happy to discuss. and feel free to recommend stuff, too! im busy, so it might take me a bit to get around to it, but i would certainly appreciate it

~ my manga read list is long and it grows longer every day. currently reading: black lagoon

~ my all time favorite character is togata fire punch. shocker ik the tguy likes togata.

~ but I have a lot of favorite characters tbh. im a big yoshida fan. im a sukuna fan (I KNOW). my fav witch hat character is olruggio, followed by qifrey & agott. i could never pick a fav dunmeshi character they’re all perfect thanks (it's chilchuck and kabru tho). everyone in dorohedoro. yoshiki hgsn my princess i could never hate u. im sure I have a lot more.

~ do I kin shinji? maybe I do. none of ur business

about the blog

~ this blog is mostly sfw but it might not be sometimes. idrc if minors interact with some stuff (like theories or analysis or whatever) but i might talk about adult series/themes so i don’t really feel comfortable with minors interacting with that sort of stuff. i’ll put warnings on what I think might not be appropriate, and I’ll try to keep an eye on who’s interacting with what. just please follow my warnings ok? i don’t wanna block people for interacting with inappropriate stuff but I will if I have to.

~ hate will absolutely NOT be tolerated- if i see any racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, etc. comments, you will be blocked immediately. i want people to feel comfortable and safe on my blog, and if you do anything to hurt and belittle others, you can't stay.

~ ~ THIS BLOG IS NOT SPOILER FREE. block the ‘spoilers’ tag if you don’t wanna see them, but most of what I post will be spoiler-y probably so please keep that in mind before you decide to follow me.

~ i tend to focus a lot on one thing at a time. that being said, my fave characters are always dear to me, so im happy to talk abt any of them whenever. still, if you follow me bc I talk about one character a lot, just don’t be surprised if the blog takes a 180. like if you follow me for my yoshida posts don’t be too shocked when i start posting a lot abt like dagoth ur or something LMAO

~ might write stuff. mostly analysis, maybe a theory, maybe a fic or two (i like character studies so most will probably be like that! headcanons, maybe some fun fluffy stuff on the side. we’ll see if I feel comfortable posting that though lol!)

~ im a trans guy so any "x reader" stuff will be somewhat gn, but usually with m!reader in mind. ill tag it if gendered terms are included, and i likely won’t write any f!readers (if I write x reader at all tbh which i *probably* won’t).

~ im lowk writing a "book" (HEAVY on the quotation marks) so... maybe this blog will be a lot of OC nonsense and such as well. i need a void to post about them in and this is my yapping blog so

~ this is important: because my schedule is hectic (and bc i am a very casual writer) i won't really take requests- i don't think i would ever get to them and i don't think that's super fair to anyone. BUT feel free to send me ideas or thoughts or headcanons !! i would love to read your ideas and maybe they'll inspire me too :)

ok that’s all I can think of! lol bye for now :)
