Dunmesh Spoilers - Tumblr Posts

I saw a text post and immediately thought of THEM.

Walks in, people are really doing the “my white man has done nothing wrong in the narrative ever because he is autistic and autistic people can do nothing wrong actually” with Dungeon meshi

Read down below for my thoughts on people pulling this shit

Before I start, maybe pick up a book from school and practice how to read a narrative and learn content analysis,

it’ll really help because I don’t know what the hell else to say to people who are bad at reading subtext and putting context into practice at this point

I see the sentiment of “Kabru is actually evil because he actively murders people-“ as if the story isn’t actually like super nuanced and complex in its’ dynamics between races

and y’all can only really see a man that has personally gone through nothing but tragedy have a proper reaction to not having that tragedy handled properly and go “because he is a brown man he is inherently violent and therefore bad for my white man because of these story beats” with the type of stupid white person reaction.

The subtext went out the window huh, he gave the viewer ample context and reason as to why it happened he was going to kill the body retriever group, WHO WAS TRYING TO SAY TO HIM THAT THEY WERE GOING TO MUG HIM. AND KILL HIM AND SPLIT THE MONEY THEY MADE FROM GAMING A SYSTEM THEYVE BEEN EXPLOITING, WHICH HE DIDN’T DO.

Dying to monsters is one thing but someone like a retriever artificially upping the amount of people who die in a dungeon while also actively disrespecting the rules that the dungeon has by doing that fits perfectly into Kabru’s moral compass and motivation. Do you think that wouldn’t bother him? Sure, he has learning to do himself in regards to monsters and all, but do people really think he’s a monster actively incapable of change, when he’s stated in text that he believes himself to be a monster due to the things that have happened to him? Do you think he doesn’t blame himself and have survivors guilt from what he went through? Or do we think because Kabru lies and he warps and he cheats only to start realizing that the Kabru we’re shown doesn’t even know where he himself starts or ends. This is not trying to justify his actions. I am explaining his thinking. Of course He’d kill the retrievers.

And I think he would kill the Canaries if he had the chance to. I think the Retrievers were an active stand in for his feelings towards the Canaries.

When you build a life speaking lies after your previous status quo crumbles, how the fuck are you supposed to differentiate your own behaviors from the lies you grow into saying to make sure you don’t get close enough to people to be hurt as badly as he was as a kid. He is a sole survivor of a tragedy, and he reacts accordingly, and you all just want to antagonize him.

Did we forget who we’re talking about in comparison here, or are you guys that focused on justifying a man who clearly was used, exploited, and literally lost his mother because some group who thought themselves to be higher than due to their longer life cycles decided to destroy his whole life because it created a slight inconvenience

god you lot are truly fucking insufferable and can’t let characters be complex without woobifying or flanderizing them to be more digestible.

Let characters be complex.

You don’t have to like them all the time, You don’t have to agree with their actions.

You don’t have to agree with a character all the time for you to like a character’s writing.

Marcille and Falin || Dungeon Meshi 1x12

Dungeon Meshi Settei

have fun, + 3 one-eye princesses

Falin, Oil on paper and digital

with f​.arcille in particular - one second i'm going to be a hater

i hate how people overlook ma​rcille's infantilization of fal​in. in fact, it barely feels like they care about fa​lin's character at all, beyond being the cute as-butch-as-tumblr-can-handle-before-getting-scared to marcille's femme. post-canon material is pretty clear on how fa​lin's internal conflicts hinge around her inability to separate herself from her loved ones' wishes and expectations and act upon her own desires. the positive lingering impact of the dragon soul upon hers is a drive for that freedom, an urge to travel and see the world on her own accord.

and yet. what do you see in every piece of post-canon farc​ille? the casual assumption that they get married and settle down in melini. people barely even think about it. it's their natural assumption that the rest of their lives - or rather, fa​lin's life :) - should be cozy domestic bliss in the new kingdom. maybe she goes on a little trip first, sure. but then she gets to stay with mar​​cille and lai​os, an accessory and advisor, forever and ever and ever. what a happy ever after!

baaaaarf.

I forget that I can actually experiment with my art and not just stick to the same shit all the time

Anyway, have some Falin fanart ig

have I mentioned my love for Mithrun?? ft. the first doodles I did of my two favs :)
