was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

#dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #kabru #kabru already added laios as a discord friend. everyone else in the server can see laios excitedly asking kabru to go with him #what would You even Do in this situation. how would YOU feel?#basically: kabru isnt a laios-hater! hes just in shock bc Thats His Trauma. the key part is kabru still says yes #bc he wants to get to know laios. to understand why laios would be so fascinated by something horrific to him #and ALSO bc even while in shock kabru can still tell laios has unique expertise + knowledge that Could be used for Good #even if kabru doesnt fully trust laios yet (bc kabru just started talking to the guy 2 hours ago. they barely know each other)#kabru also understands that getting to know ppl (esp laios) means having to get to know their passions. even if it triggers his trauma here #but thats too much to fit in this metaphor/analogy. this is NOT an AU! its not supposed to cover everything abt kabru or laios' character!#its a self-contained metaphor written Specifically to be more easily relatable+thus easy to understand for general ppl online #(ie. assumed discord users. hence why i said (a non-specific) 'discord server' and not something specific like 'car repair subreddit')#its for ppl who mightve not fully grasped kabru's character+intentions and think hes being mean/'chaotic'/murderous.#to place ppl in kabru's shoes in an emotionally similar situation thats more possible/grounded in irl experiences and contexts.#and also for the movie punchline #mynn.txt #dm text #crossposting my tweets onto here since my friends suggested so

qifrey's face right before he strikes here (to finally press coco on the matter of the truth shackle) is hilarious. nothing personel kid. I've been at this lying game since you were just a sparkle in the eye of some guy presumably with the markers for anime protagonist hair colour somewhere in his genetic makeup

the way you can tell qifrey's experience with being a great big fucking liar from how he approaches this conversation, both in a genuinely empathetic and a task-oriented manipulative way -- he offers her gradations of truth she might be ready to give, if the whole thing is too difficult/impossible to disclose. 'is it specifically me you can't tell this to, are you keeping the secret for someone else's sake, is there a version of this however abridged or fragmentary you can give me so I could help you?'. a man who's spent his adult life finding ways to navigate impossible truths and necessary lies indeed. (how many of these do you think olruggio has deployed against him over the years. and how many times did he break under it.)

#witch hat atelier #witch hat atelier spoilers #qifrey #coco wha #warning: if you really love tartah maybe hop off here the tags to come are not going to be particularly partial to him #if you do love him you are completely right to he's a fascinating character! he just rubs me personally the wrong way #you are not wrong and I am not right I just needed to get some feelings out of me here and thought it fair to give warning #okay so tartah is like twelve years old and qifrey a grown ass man so you can't ever really make this comparison fairly #but also. the way qifrey lets her go here when she pulls away/shows her discomfort vs. the way tartah holds on ruthlessly to her #until he's dragged what he wants out of her. and then expects everything to be like it was between them afterwards apparently.#even as she's sobbing her eyes out the whole time. Okay. fine ininia told him to do it but he still did that shit #listen I'm working on it every day I am seeking in my heart to forgive but it's still so upsetting to me in a visceral sort of way #the body horror of the leech transformation is nothing that's the scene that sits like a lead weight in my stomach every time #the shit this manga is doing in examining the subject of The Truth. like The Truth tartah got out of his 'no more lies' approach #still lacks crucial context even though it confirmed his warranted fears and suspicions (WHY qifrey knows about silverwoods #and the danger it could put him and everyone he cares about in if someone else knows why he knows it. for example. just randomly)#like oh there are good reasons to lie sometimes especially in a society like this and a partial truth is no less dangerous than a lie #and tartah's a child of course he doesn't get that. (I think he is more than old enough to know to stop if someone's crying and begging tho #especially someone he claims to care about.) and with the adult heart I do still have no matter how pissed I am I FEAR for him #in this state of never being able to lie while surrounded by brimhats and their ah. established pattern of care for the safety #and well-being of children (none). both him and custas are in such a precarious position and I'm scared for them #also lest I come across as doing any kind of qifrey apologism here tartah's inability to tolerate ambiguity or falsehoods #is like. 98% entirely and directly qifrey's damn fault lmao. coco is kind of suffering for the sins of the master #through an insane chain reaction series of events in that scene. oops qifrey. gaslit and girlbossed a bit too close to the sun there #so basically as far as I've gotten with tartah is that I understand I empathize both emotionally with his life as a disabled person in this #society with so little will to accomodate for any difference and with the fact that he's a child. and also I do not like him very much.#and despite my antipathy I'm not blind to the blatant parallels between drawn between tartah and custas & qifrey and olly #you have two boys making huge life-changing decisions they simply cannot understand the ramifications of yet for each other #literally back to back. I'd be even more of a hypocrite than I am to not sympathize as much with one as with the other #and in that specific regard I do. but also. coco is going to forgive him for what he did. I don't have to

#THERES LIKE. BARELY ANY.#IF I GET LUCKY ILL SEE AN ACE HEADCANON #BUT VERY RARELY DO I SEE ARO HEADCANONS #SOBBING #stiff talk #my favorite thing is thinking about how many characters i see as aromantic but then i go to the fandom tag or to that characters tag and #everyone is shipping them and theres like 2 posts total about that character being ace and 1 post about them being aroace #man im just a bit sad about all this dont mind me #yea yea i know the whole “if you wanna see something make it yourself” thing but see heres the thing: im tired #i just wanna be able to go through a tag and see people share similar ideas and headcanons without me having to make all the work myself #and i bet theres plenty other people who feel the same #and even if there is a character thats like. somewhat aroace coded in some way people still find a way to go “but then they fall in love”#and like yea have fun or whatever but i just idk it just feels very lonely sometimes yknow #miss the times when i didnt think about this so much #cuz now that im older and know that IM aspec its like. oh. i wanna see more characters like me! but theres like basically none #SORRY FOR THE RANT LMFAO #ignore this im just feeling silly

"Haha Dream BBQ is so random and incomprehensible" "did they take drugs to make this lol" "you're actually not meant to understand anything in this series it's ok" "Joel G just makes up stuff on the spot based on what would be funny" "it's just random for random's sake" "is this AI" "stop theorising, it's not that deep" SHUT UPPPPPPPPPP

#ena dream bbq #ena joel g #random art does not exist. all human made art is made with intention.#like. sure. ena is intentionally surreal and aburdist and weird. and im sure some things were less thought out #but to say its all just random bullshit does SO much disservice to the creators behind this project #and disservice to your OWN intelligence in giving up and refusing to work those braincells of yours to create your own interpretation #like. There Are Things To work with here. there are a Lot Of Things #you just have to actually Think and connect the pieces and do introspection on what this Means to YOU #like. you dont wanna think hard. fine. if you wanna just enjoy the experience thats fine too #but then you have to still ackowledge that youre getting SOMETHING out of this (unless youre actually not and are just a hater)#even if its just emotionally. even if its jus unconsciouslly #there Is Meaning There #its just not linear #so think about it!!! thats whats fun about this series!!!#it forces everyone to think about it instead of just following the one 'canon'!!!!#there probably isnt one right answer here!!!#but that doesnt make it any less valuable!!!!#just. auuuughh #i have a lot of thoughts about this #the ena team would not put in this much effort and creativity and symbolism and themeing just for shits and giggles #ok ill stop being a hater now. and I WONT go in the opposite direction and start wining about how a lot of theories (on youtube at least)#seem to ignore the more emocionally significant and symbolic themes in favour of basic or emotionally shallow takes.....#ggrhrgrh (through gritted teeth)... everyones interpretation is valid.. everyones interpretation is valid #whatevr. im just rambling. idk. i hope you get what i mean #negative #fandom critical #my own post

In the Flesh rewatch -> Series 1, Episode 3

"It's becoming just like it was before and I don't know how to change it."

"Here's how you change it. This time, you live. You don't leave. You stay."

#ive said it many times but i mean it when i say that television peaked here. genuinely one of the best episodes of tv ive ever seen.#the first 2 episodes do such a great job setting up this episode to knock everything down #i love the way that they portray kierens draw to death. all of his visions of lisa and the way he keeps finding himself at the cave #and the last thing we see him do is literally step away from a grave. away from death. despite how much it calls to him.#and ofc the scenes with kieren and his parents at the end of this episode utterly wreck me #the way that he has to basically beg his dad to talk about what almost just happened and what happened before... and once the dam bursts...#this show is evil! but also so fucking healing. everyone involved in the making of this show should be in jail for emotional damages.#this little 3-episode season is literally perfect to me and i cannot believe that more people dont know about it #lets have an itf fandom revival in 2026 so we can have a nuanced conversation about and get more people to watch it #tw knife #in the flesh #itf #bbc in the flesh

for what it's worth I personally don't believe spite had anything to do with the pantry near-kiss experience at all. I think that was a 100% lucanis naturel disaster no supernatural additives present or indeed required. at most spite was watching that whole situation go down with mild puzzlement about approximately every part of it, I don't think he'd have much interest in it one way or the other. the explanation seems much more mundane and grounded and in some ways much sadder to me.

if your nervous system has never been in a place where any surge of emotion, even -- in fact sometimes especially! -- a good and exciting one makes you feel like your soul just touched a hot stove it can't get away from, then sincerely, from the bottom of my heart and without a trace of snark, thank goodness and I hope you never experience it. For the rest of you... fistbump of solidarity it's rough out here but *grits teeth* we stay silly etc. In the place lucanis is in during that part of the game, feeling like you're losing control (again even for ostensibly good happy reasons) can feel an awful lot like you're dying, or worse. on top of everything else going on for him -- again going only with non-supernatural elements and not even comprehensive: a year of non-stop horrific trauma added to pile of previous mountain of childhood and attachment trauma. chronic sleep deprivation. apparently dead grandma doubling as mother figure. cousin-brother aggressively fucking around and in real danger of finding out. fucked up the ONE thing he thought he knew how to do that's been the central pillar of his identity. the world might be ending even more than it already was because of it. keeps faceplanting with barely any dignity and having to get up again with alarming regularity GOD how could I ever not save treviso this man desperately needs a W (just one!!) like few people in the history of the world have before him. he's more caffeine than man because the alternative feels worse. it's bad in here. and ON TOP of all that he's in the process of falling just. appallingly soul-shrivingly in love, which can notably be playing on hard mode even when you're in a mostly functional place, that shit routinely rocks people to the core under the best of circumstances.

so I'm not surprised it's too overwhelming for him to handle when he tries to throw himself in head first -- in fact I'd have been more surprised if it weren't lol. he clearly wants it so much, which only makes it so much more painful that he can't actually bear to touch it when it's offered to him freely and eagerly. this is the tantalus-level awfulness of this kind of attachment trauma; food seems to be right there, you can see it, almost smell it sometimes, but no matter what you just can't seem to reach it. seemingly not for any flaw in the existence of the food, but because of something broken in you that can't or can't bear to actually eat. his deliberate flirting routine is kind of deeply dorky tbh lol (in the most endearing way possible let's be perfectly clear) and I don't think it's entirely natural to him -- that's a hastily cobbled together 'oh god I am getting the vibes here it is happening for some reason they like me for my personality quick what would illario do' approach if ever I saw it, supported by the fact that it never really makes a return after this --

BUT I do think his obvious near-unbearable delight with rook's existence and person that shines through in that scene is entirely real and unfeigned. he likes them so much. he wants so bad to be able to be close to them. he's so hungry for the reprieve and release and relief they represent to him, just for one moment, just one break from all the awfulness to have something uncomplicatedly good. and it's here, it's been offered, he's welcome!!! and he has to flinch away at the last minute anyway because he's an exposed nerve of a human being. there's a point at which every sensation including joy becomes indistinguishable from agony. he's pretty much exactly at that point. for the love of god have some mercy on him people. the feeling that salvation is right here but you're too broken a vessel to hold it is one I wouldn't wish on anyone. let him have a few moments to stare into the void before he's ready to get back up and try again surely we all deserve at least that much lol
