thinking about dungeon meshi (as you do) and something that has been increasingly bothering me is how many people call Laios 'stupid' or similar. Often even as they are trying to pitch the manga to people.

And it's been bugging me because it's just. Absolutely not true? Laios is socially inept to a fault, that's like half the driving reason for the plot. But beside the obvious 'he knows a shit-ton about monsters and this is very helpful to their dungeon adventuring', he's also shown to be a good strategist, and pretty decent at magic once he actually puts his mind to it. He's a competent team leader who knows his teams strengths and weaknesses well despite being fairly bad at people. He can be silly, but to be fair so can most of his team. And he does make poor/stupid decisions (like eating raw parasite) mainly because of his hyperfixation sometimes. But he's far from stupid.

Idk man I am obviously annoyed because I think calling the heavily autistic coded guy 'stupid' is a bad look, but it annoys me doubly because the story makes it pretty obvious that he is not. That's a pretty essential part of the story actually!

also like i partially found out i might be intersex because i was looking at trans stuff and there was like "(however many) months on t and finally seeing some bottom growth" and like pictures of t-dicks and i was like.... um.... that's kind of just what my clit looks like anyways. so i was like "hey google give me a quick rundown on this" and learned what clitoromegaly was and then i was like. hm. intersex resources. and it's like a sign? symptom? side-effect? of certain intersex conditions

best part of kiwami 2 was majima saga honestly

i really love his moveset

but damn the blood lineage stuff in kiwami 2 was just weird, might be the japanese having a racist moment or not but it's just not a story element i vibe with , especially considering that kiryu's saga has him being an orphan as a major part of his character and him having found family is a major thematic point with his arc. but the blood ties stuff really clashes with all of that in a way that undermined it

honestly the weakness of the stories in kiwami and kiwami 2 should be attributed to the fact that they're remakes of the first two games and i had a feeling that rgg studios were still working out the characters at the time

also you can tell that the stories and tone are pretty dated to the 2000s

and i actually really like ryuji. his reaction to finding out he has a sister probably is the saving grace of that whole last bit. i don't know why they made him die, it just feels so unnecessary

I'm starting to rate the Cyrano de Bergerac versions based on whether or not they make me desire him carnally by the end of the play

The Supernatural as Cancerous Beings

In biology, we learned a lot of cool stuff about cancer, and I think supernatural beings (vampires and shapeshifters) are easily reconstituted to represent walking tumours.

Vampires - easy, immortal unageing cell lines that require blood consumption to access nutrients, can survive anything except silver and wood (to be fair, you could technically kill cancers with these, some anticancer drugs are made of silver and compounds from trees). Cancers also quite literally parasitically steal nutrients, and can fool the immune system with their own version of a glamour.

Shapeshifters - cancers can reprogram their own genes, change conformation (tumours), expand, and proliferate rapidly, ergo, a shapeshifter explodes into a clump of cancer cells, that reprogram themselves into the new forms they desire.

I think cancers can very easily recapture elements of supernatural beings, and some of the traits of cancer fit in nicely with traits of supernatural creatures.

Outmoded employment models getting ahead of tide before floodgates open - unfair dismissal

Communication and thought are at the root of accessiblity, fairness and inclusivity. The bottom line is this costs nothing and can increase profit. It also reduces the costs of compensating unfairly dismissed employees. Image by Markus Winkler from Pixabay As new laws come in, dinosaurs lash out, it seems. I have been working with two honest, contienscious employees who were dismissed suddenly…

in a sense i can tell emet & i have like very similar standards when it comes to quality. by that i mean i am very picky with art styles especially when it comes to how people draw my favourite guys & i KNOW in a fucked up really weird world where hes real & im the character (well ok due to introject stuff its not that far fetched but bear with me) he would hold fanart of me to the same standards i hold his. does that make sense.

after I've been listening to 21st-century music for half an hour or so, my ears are starting to ring from the exhausting brainbeating airless compressed quality of the production, and then I put on a song from the mid-sixties, and the production is so open and light and airy and has so much SPACE in it... it's like I can suddenly breathe again...

thank you for existing, mid-20th-century music production techniques. I love you and I miss you so much.
