Some of my favorite Dungeon Meshi panels + some of my general thoughts of the series (MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!!)

Kabru and Laios have some of my favorite character moments in the whole manga.

I love Izutsumi if you couldn't tell.

If I had to choose favorites, it would be Marcille, Izutsumi, then Senshi for my top three.

The changling chapters are so amazing artistically in my mind, I love Ryoko Kui's approach to character design. Especially how she keeps in mind even the most minor character details.

When the Canaries were first introduced i thought they would've been very secretive, intimidating, and borderline evil. I really like how they were able to flip the reader's perception of the world completely on it's head.

I love how weirdly obsessed Marcille is with Chilchuck's love life, it caught me very off guard and threw me into a few laughing fits.

Every time Kabru explodes with rage makes me so fucking happy lol, i love seeing his mask slip and just loose it.

The dungeon rabbits have to be some of my favorite chapters, it's just very absurd and also gives us some wonderful insight into Marcilles character, as well as foreshadows her future decisions really well.

Overall i think this might be one of my favorite series ever. The art, the world building, the story, the designs, the characters. Mwah!

If anybody sees this and is somehow still on the fence I urge you to read through the first few chapters and give it a chance. Or watch the anime when the final season comes out :)

i would love a rouge-like, fear and hunger style game, set in the Dungeon Meshi universe (though not as dark)

where you start with a new character that has to then recruit party members to go into the dungeon

i think death would be the only ending (with the possibility of resurrection, which gets less likely the deeper you make it) since actually conquering it would mess with the canon

but i think it would be a super fun way to explore more concepts that didn't get fully explained in the manga or were only short one offs (scyllas, ogers, other beastmen), or even new avenues with older enemies (different dragon types for example)

Soul Development (Undertale headcanon)

Okay so putting this here bc it'll be relevant in an upcoming fic chapter.

In my interpretation of the Undertale universe's soul/magic system (just the og no special aus or anything) is that souls are the source of all magic.

The reason why human souls have color and monster's don't is because of their soul's main traits/attributes directly affect their soul's magical capabilities.

Human magic heavily depends on what color/trait the soul has, which while more restricting gives them a higher magical output.

Monsters wield a greater control of magic and can experiment with different types/shapes, but can be more draining as a result.

In early stages of human life their soul's start off the same color as monsters do, over time it starts to gain color (around toddler age is when colors start to appear). As humans grow up their soul will gain more colors and will eventually solidify as one color after reaching adult hood (roughly).

Which means that for humans their main trait can change overtime, but will eventually settle at some point :)

omg this exposition and lore is KILLING ME

I just want to get to the fluffy character interactions!!!!

but i do want to include them so A) i have it as reference for how I want UT mechanics to work and B) so people understand how i'm interpreting/headcanoning compared to other authors/fics

ive been thinking abt FellSwap Silver Alphyne a lot the past few days……

(do not talk to me abt the hands, i was in a pit of suffering that i myself created)

more abt them under the cut....

Quick warning for mentions of stalking behavior!!!!!

I mentioned in my first FellSwap Silver post that Undyne falls for Alphys first but didn't really go into more detail abt them.

I would say that they don't ever get together underground for two reasons.

Undyne is kind of crazy, and she becomes very stalkery and yandere-esque. The cameras set up throughout the underground were set up as her way to catch glimpses of Alphys since neither of them get out often (Alphys only leaves for work and Undyne is mostly stuck in her lab experimenting), she did this under the guise of wanting to keep a look out for any humans that might fall. I imagine that Undyne is regretfully very busy with her experiments and doesn't have much time to plan out scenarios for them to meet formally. Her time outside of experimenting is also very restricted because of her massive workload.

Alphys' horrible agoraphobia/paranoia/anxiety makes it so that she's barely goes outside and interacts with new people, she has maybe met Undyne once or twice at work meetings but other than that she doesn't know her at all. So there would be no way that she seeks out Undyne's company.

When they do get together it's after surfacing and LOTS of therapy on both ends. Undyne learns to chill tf out and reign in her behaviors/emotions. Alphys has learned exercises for dealing with her fears and is on medication to help her mentally.

I feel like they would both meet at an anime event or at a store. Undyne mentally panics because she still has a crush on Alphys but is worried about how she might see her after how she acted underground. Alphys is the one to approach Undyne since she knows they both have a common interest and also because her goal post-surfacing is to get to know more people.

About Sans and his addiction (Fellswap Silver AU)

TW FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS

I've talked about how Sans struggles with addiction and how he wouldn't recover until after surfacing. I think what would get him to decide to work towards it would be the fucked up realization that

If he had a choice, he would choose alcohol over Papyrus.

And that's really bad. That's his own damn brother, the only person that made the Underground somewhat livable. He's the reason why Sans has worked towards anything and why he's still alive. That's the only family he has left, they're the only two skeletons alive and the Underground was way too dangerous to consider literally anyone else family. Family was all you could trust Underground and if Sans doesn't have that he really has nothing other than his own vices.

I don't think Papyrus would force this revelation (because he has a LONG LIST of problems regarding his relationship with Sans and his own mental health issues), but I think that someone else would. Most likely Toriel (since she's third closest to Sans after Papyrus and Alphys) due to her opinions on family relationships. Alphys is another contender because she would be one of the few people who knows how bad he struggles with addiction and how much Papyrus cares for him. Even Chara could be the one too do it, which would be a serious reality check. TBH all of them are contenders and perhaps it could be a group intervention.

I think that the process would be (VERY LOSELY) something like

the intervention/confrontation happens

Sans and Papyrus end up living separately for a little bit while Sans starts recovering, both at their therapist's and friend's suggestion

they both get further along in the healing process

they move back in together much healthier and happy people :) (because i can't write sad endings for my characters ever!!!!)

Anyways lemme know what other stuff i could add or if i got anything wrong/used the wrong terminology. I don't struggle with addiction firsthand however do have family members that do, so let me know if anything i said was inaccurate or offensive.

If you have any questions or wanna know abt this AU don't be scared to shoot me an ask!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DD
