This spell has a very low hit ratio, so we need a lot of us to do it.

Anyway while I don't think Dungeon Meshi is by any means perfect (it is very extremely good, it just has a few things which don't quite stick the landing for me personally) I think it is one of the best examples of media in the broad genre of "dungeon fantasy" that engages with many of the conventions and tropes of the genre critically while at the same time being very reverent of the genre itself. It is both a good example of the genre it's a part of while also examining some of the ideas of said genre and I think that's a lot better than a lot of "irreverent take on D&D" media. The motivations of the main cast are quite mercenary and the story very much doesn't start out as a quest to save the world but a quest to save someone who got in trouble during a get-rich-quick scheme, but the characters are still fun and sympathetic.

[thydungeongal]

And like one of the tropes of the genre it engages with critically is central to its story, which is the whole idea of food as more than just fuel for dungeon crawling but as a make-or-break thing where the ingredients used and actual nutrition matters. Most dungeon-crawling fantasy just ignores this, at most giving a contrast between food that's just boring fuel/stale rations and food that's actually sold at da store back in town, but the difference doesn't actually have teeth in the narrative. It doesn't matter whether Goblin Steve ate icky stale rations that day or had a delicious feast at the banquet, they both just count as the thing stops the hunger mechanic kicking in. Anyway yeah so Dungeon Meshi is like "there actually is a difference."

People love natives in such a superficial way. People wanna stand with natives when we’re talking about the trees, and the land. People wanna stand with natives when we talk about philosophies of love and togetherness. But as soon as it’s time to talk about political side of being native. About dismantling a system built on the genocide of our people. About how we need a new system that isn’t built upon capital gain and benefitting white bodies. About putting up a fight. About how the colonial state we reside in is a disgusting imperial plague on this land. Suddenly y’all don’t wanna talk native.

"They spent hundreds of years trying to assimilate my ancestors, trying to create indians like me, who could blend in, but now they don’t want me either. They can’t make up their minds.

They want buckskin and face paint, drumming, songs in languages they can’t understand recorded for them but with English subtitles, of course. They want educated, well spoken, but not too smart. Christian, well behaved, never question. They want to learn the history of the people, but not the ones that are here now, waving signs in their faces, asking them for clean drinking water, asking them why their women are going missing, asking them why their land is being ruined.

They want fantastical stories of Indians that used to roam this land. They want my culture behind glass in a museum.

But they don’t want me." -Shelby Lisk

───  EVIL  DEAD.  (  2013  )

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

"taken" style action movie where a man searches for his wife. as he fights baddies in gunfights and hand-to-hand combat, it's slowly revealed that:

his wife hasn't been kidnapped

their marriage is not healthy or functional

this guy isn't rescuing his wife, he's hunting her down

his wife is a crime boss, those are her henchpeople he's fighting in a john-wick bloodbath

the tension builds until, drenched in blood, our protagonist steps forward for the final showdown. he pulls a manila envelope from his bullet-torn jacket and throws it at his wife's feet. he's just spent an entire trilogy biting & killing & maiming....all so he can deliver his shit wife her divorce papers

This was on a post about how it's ignorant and privileged to wear headphones in public and I fear its already become a part of my vocabulary. Must everything harbor a moral failure.

if shes your girl then why have i slowly been replacing her parts until there’s nothing left of her original body? is she then still your girl?

[averysoftsheep]

They ship of theseus’d my girl

Can’t have shit in Detroit

[roach-works]

this actually perfectly demonstrates the transitive property of memes: you can replace a meme piece by piece until it only structurally resembles the original, and it is, in fact, the same meme.

call that the meme of theseus thesis

[fadeverb]

tumblrites can have a little intertextuality as a treat

The problem with being married to someone super fit is that you just can’t be physically coercive in the cute ways you want to. This morning, I was trying to convince B to sleep in and cuddle and instead of being deterred by the fact that I was entirely wrapped around his torso, he just…got out of bed with me clinging to him and went about his business picking clothes in the closet and putting on pants and doing his skincare in the bathroom with me just there along for the ride. And when he finally tickled me into letting go so he could finish getting dressed, I was so completely awake from laughing so hard that I didn’t get to sleep in either. An outrage.

[mumblebee19]

Outrageous.

[xiaq]

Unfortunately, this is an accurate depiction of the hindrance I presented (minor).

[whatevererr]

the thing about the one piece adaptation is that it doesn’t take itself seriously in the sense of trying to make things more realistic or grounded or grimdark but it DOES take itself seriously in the sense of everyone putting their whole pussy into treating cwazy hair stupid weapon silly name world as the reality the characters are in and one that has real emotional stakes and it kind of rules

the concept of luffy's biggest hater and luffy's biggest glazer flirting... hmmmmm opla you have charmed me i fear
