Dog teeth
[ID: Art of Mob from Mob Psycho 100. He's standing beneath huge humanoid jaws, just so that the upper teeth are covering his head, and staring at the camera. Everything is red, the shadows mostly pitch black, save for Mob's irises, which are a bright green and yellow. End ID.]

Laios is autistic moment #413
(observed by me, an autistic person)
You've all heard of the weird little girl who pretends to be a feral cat in school and hides under the desk hissing
Laios was the weird little boy who pretended to be a wolf
In the dream world he chooses to be a wolf
Tumblr media
when fighting the illusions he "gets into character" as a wolf and specifically states that he hasnt done this in a while, as if he used to do this all the time, he played as a wolf.

Ok. Watched dungeon meshi recently .... and why did noone tell me Falin is also autistic??
Like. Yes yes, all the mob vs laios autism polls are fun, but mob is so much more similar to Falin than Laios -  not just in how their autism manifests, or their personality, but like..... they're even both extremely powerful in their magical fields!! They both see and communicate with ghosts!!! They both ride the line between human and monstrous!!!! I love them so much...
But. If we're talking comparisons, between Mob and Laios...
I really think they're two sides of a coin. None is better than the other, they do vastly different things and are great in their own rights because of it.
Laios is an adult with autism who is surrounded by people who are annoyed by his presence or generally find him strange or offputting. He highlights the struggle of that, how hard it can be to find and keep true friends that actually care about you and aren't lying about just tolerating you when you're neurodivergent - and how even when you have great knowledge or skill in something, just as often it helps you, it will also make people look at you weird. He's loud. He's unapologetic. He's passionate!!! And the right people will come to appreciate that. But it doesn't erase the struggle that being so open often comes with.
Mob's narrative, on the other hand, is a coming of age story. It's about a traumatized autistic kid who isn't open, isn't loud, who makes an effort to not stand out - because he got burnt in the past, and he himself burnt others in the past, as a result of how his autism manifests. And it's about how he comes to realize that coming out of that shell is worth it. That there will be kind people waiting on the other side, that you're not doing anyone any good by ignoring your own wants and needs. That you have good to offer to the world!! That there's good people to meet !!! That you have more strength in yourself than you think !!!! And how even at your most destructive, all your flaws and true colors revealed, mask finally off .... your friends will still love you. Because you were always yourself. Even when you were hiding.
They do different things.
Dungeon meshi is a more realistic story - there's no otherwordly psychic powers amplifying the autistic symptoms present. It's just a weird, wonderful autistic man with his encyclopedia of knowledge and his small gaggle of friends. And the autism may not be absolutely central .. but it's there. Following the story every step of the way, influencing it that way or the other.
Mob Psycho 100 on the other hand is a lot more fantastical, and a lot more idealistic. There's no heavy worldbuilding to dive into, and the monsters and antagonists they face aren't the main course - instead, the main focus is on Mob, and his inner world, and gradually revealing more of it. In that way - while DM is an 'outside looking in' kinda story, mp100 is an 'inside looking out' one.
And I love both of them.
(Keep in mind I haven't read the dungeon meshi manga yet, just watched the anime ;^^ so I'm sorry that there's probably a lot more to add to the comparison on that front. Please don't spoil in the notes tho!!)

Dungeon Meshi has the best use of a megadungeon setting I've ever seen. Even from chapter 1 the series' core themes are plainly stated with nothing but sincerity.
There is an entire kingdom under your own. An entire country, full of life. The average adventurer views it as an obstacle. Only quest rewards and a mythical treasure that might exist are seen as having value. The idea of treating "the dungeon" as a real place and the monsters as living creatures is shunned. Good, normal people thoughtlessly hack their way through mobs for gold coins. Food is something you buy, a product you need to earn by adventuring so that you can take on another quest tomorrow.
Eating monsters is seen as weird because you're acknowledging that you killed it. You're acknowledging that the monsters are living things, and so are you. Why does that scare so many people?

Fascinating how Dungeon Meshi's super common resurrection magic increases the tension instead of ruining it. A lot of the time once a character gets brought back to life, it ruins the stakes of the story, because now you know they can bring people back.
So you'd think the first time someone gets brained by a water elemental and resurrected the next scene it would kill the tension, but it really does the opposite. It makes all the fight scenes so much more tense knowing that characters can just be fucking killed by a trash mob without warning, since they can be resurrected after the fight.
Normally the stakes of a fight are relatively low when it comes to injury because you know they're not going to kill a main character halfway through season 1. But since they can be resurrected? Yeah sure, they can just get outright shanked by a goblin. Even though you know they'll be fine after the fight, it hugely raises the perceived danger.

The secret Dungeon Meshi sauce that's getting people to eat better is that it's so non-judgmental. Senshi and the rest of the gang never talk about what not to eat besides things that taste bad and literal poison. They don't even talk about "health" that much besides the importance of a balanced diet. It's so much easier to eat well when you think of food simply as something your body needs, and that it's often worth the extra effort to make it taste good, especially when you understand how to connect "things your body needs" with "things that taste good"

part of why teru is such a good character is that ONE realizes that someone with low empathy and narcissistic tendencies isn’t just gonna immediately lose these things once they become a good guy and teru obviously struggles with empathy even after he starts being presented as trying his best to be a good person and adopting mob’s philosophy
