I haven't picked up Dungeon Meshi yet, but I'm so mad on your guys's behalf the official English title is Delicious in Dungeon. Weakest and most pitiful title localization job I've ever seen, and I've lived through some shit. This is worse than Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts to me. More distracting than Case Closed. It's pathetic. Just keep it simple and call it Dungeon Cuisine. If you're married to the alliteration call it Dungeon Dining. Dungeons, Drive-Ins & Dives. Even just Delicious Dungeon or Dungeon Delicious, even Deliciousness in the Dungeon would be less stupid. Dungeon Delicacies? I'm fucking begging you. Who okayed Delicious in Dungeon? Nothing was asked of you and you delivered less than nothing.

Happy 10 years to @carmillaseries! Some things never change (but my energy levels sure do... how did I keep up with fandom back then??). Just a quick color sketch of my favorite vampire and salty gay. <3

edit: thanks @wardensantoineandevka for sending me the post I reference below but couldn't find at the time, it's this one and I will also be reblogging it separately because you should all read it.

while I'm thinking about Downfall I really have been thinking extensively about the ongoing discussion of fandoms and particularly centering/prioritizing white queerness and more generally one's own experiences (and I cannot find one of the best posts about it, which is not by me) because, as I've said before, but notably about Circle of Needle and Thread and Downfall, Brennan is somehow known as The Communist DM and also at every opportunity his messages of class-based oppression get pushed aside by fandoms. In D20, the message frequently gets flattened into Capitalism Is The BBEG (to the point that D20 has somewhat depressingly caved to it) but in doing so generally erases the human element - the discussion becomes dominated by the terminally online anticapitalist types who really do want to treat capitalism as the BBEG that, once killed, everything will be fixed, rather than part of a complex system to be dismantled in a manner that preserves the most human lives. In Candela Obscura: Circle of Needle and Thread, Sean's story explicitly about losing everything to the wealthy and powerful was shoved aside by fans cranky that his character wasn't made explicitly queer and in love with Marion. In Downfall, Aeor's exploitation was acknowledged by fans but its imperialism conveniently forgotten in order to focus on those powerful within the system who hated the gods, not the poor of the city nor those on the surface, without protection, being used as nothing more than a source of cheap labor.

And the thing is: I obviously do not think that the world is lacking in empathy nor opportunity for straight cis white men, but the fact that people cannot take Brennan and his experiences as someone of a lower class - the most tame palatable version of that too, as in addition to being a straight cis white man he is educated, a native English speaker, sober, and housed his entire life - without needing to twist it into something closer to their (often middle-class) experiences or existing worldview is depressing and telling, and it has not improved. This was an issue with Campaign 2 (the post I cannot find touched on how Fjord and Veth's stories were cast aside or only engaged with using heavy headcanoning to make them more like the viewer because they were not explicitly textually queer, despite being explicitly racialized and about class) and it's gone metastatic in Campaign 3, and it really needs to stop.

I am hoping, still, that Campaign 3 serves as the endpoint of this sort of selfishness, and its fans will have some sort of realization (or, more likely if less good for the world, will leave this fandom to terrorize another) but I will say if this continues in C4 I will personally be calling it out in the moment - no more vagueing, if you say you're nauseated by someone bringing up their personal experiences with colonialism that happen conflict with your feelings about your blorbos you're getting nailed to the wall by name then and there and what happens to you is your business.

Well... vegetarians might find it a bit harder to stick to their diets, but it's a step up from feeling tempted to eat humans.

The days after Fallen Order, Pt 5

[theheightofdishonor]

chapter 298: guide with that image of yamaguchi behind tsukki paired with "he's always been one step ahead of me after all" will always be famous/insane etc because of the way it retroactively reframes their entire relationship, especially in the context of "what more is there than pride?". Because that moment during the training arc is mostly from yamaguchi's pov and as far as yamaguchi's concerned (tbh, as far as the audience is concerned too) yamaguchi's always been following tsukki and his speaking out is like challenging the status quo. And here, for tsukki to be like, "no, wrong, he's always been in front, he's been the one leading me along" and honestly, the frankness in which he says it too ahhhhh i LOVE this chapter

More Lucanis and Crow!Rook shitpost because I saw a post about Lucanis and his twenty daggers and became obsessed. What if Rook is a Crow too? What then. FOURTY daggers?

Also I don't think Lucanis cares about killing someone outside of the job, but he's really close with this guy here.
