hello friends in my screen, should I go to the Renaissance Faire tomorrow? pros & cons below the cut for interested parties

Pros:

See my friends I haven't seen in a while

Soft launch my Colum armor/costume and get admired

Don't have to cancel plans that I semi committed to which I hate to do (caveat friends were forewarned I was traveling and might be tired and not show up and I haven't bought a ticket yet)

Ren Faire's fun I guess

Closing weekend so it's my last chance to go this year

Cons:

1.5hr round trip and I've been traveling so much

Can't really drink because I'm driving myself

Don't want to spend money

Supposed to rain starting at 3pm, NOT my idea of a good time

I'm Tired

Need to grocery shop

Could stay at home and draw a pictures instead

#im pretty much at the point where im trying to talk myself back INTO it/out of sending a backing out text if that means anything #im just not a cancelling type of person #self

Honestly I don't think I'm qualified to make this post, I just don't know if I can make coherent enough words man. But the thoughts are in there and I will try to articulate them. This is probably going to be mostly images though. anyway yeah KABRU POST.

A couple nights ago (at approximately 2:30am, lasting a little over half an hour) I had a bit of a moment about Kabru. That, too, was mostly images- most of what you see in this more concise post were presented then as well. I think my main points of the "moment" were about Kabru's trauma + self hatred, his autism and/or general otherness, and also a little labru if you'd like..

I think something easy to start with is I wanna point out Kabru's constant back and forth and conflicting opinions of demihumans and how, I believe, thats a reflection of how he goes back and forth on what he believes his purpose of living is- and the general worth of his own life. I've said it before and i've just kinda shown it in images; Kabru is "i think im a monster and it disgusts me" where Laios is "I know im a human and it disgusts me" (i could go more into the latter on another post)

the above are both from the world bible, with the left being from the section on kobolds and the right being from the section on Kuro specifically. Utaya was very near to the desert where most of the kobold population is, this is likely why Kabru is able to speak Kuro's language- he grew up around demihumans. (chapter 48 cover, kobold chapter in the world bible) I won't try to speak for how his mother or the rest of utaya felt about the kobolds but I can say that Kabru was very much othered as a child, as was his mother, purely for the way her son's (kabru) eyes looked.

I feel like its fair enough to say that both kabru and the kobolds were othered, and possibly for similar reasons (villager's seeing them as nonhuman, as monsters) and the fact that Kabru learned their language probably didn't help his case. I think his perception of kobolds (and all demihumans, subsequently himself, as he probably still views himself as nonhuman or not human enough.. deep down) was damaged by the Utaya incident. at 2:30am when I first started this ramble my main comment was that "had the utaya incident not happened kabru would have little reason to feel ashamed for his connection to monsters. and may have ended up similar to laios in that he couldve had otherkin swag" which is just a sort of silly way of saying Kabru could've learned to love the thought that he is possibly nonhuman or at least not hated himself so much for it.

in the original ramble I said, and quote, "he has been STALKING laios. laios is his hyperfixation to learn how he can ever be loved. he keeps going back and forth so harshly on wether or not he wants to kill Laios and he clearly sees his survival from utaya not as an unfortunate trauma [*] but as a necessary, deserved fate. a punishment for his mother's witchy sins, and for his sin of being non-human. to atone for it all, to apologize for being alive, he tries to better the lives of all humanity. He was set on his way to dethrone the governor of the island . do you understand? im going insane" *i also said somethings about the way he processes other people's traumas and not his own. He's able to understand and even help some people, but he struggles to process his own issues and see himself as worthy of love and life.

^some examples of Kabru being understanding of or helping others who have suffered greatly. I think its also worth mentioning that with Rin (called "Lynn" in that translation) he says "I wish there was a way to get her out of this" though he's insisted and pushed for himself to go into a dungeon;

In chapter 94, Mithrun says "The desire I had left wasn't revenge. All I wanted.. was for it to finish devouring me." and I don't feel like it's a stretch to say Kabru was in a similar situation. Mithrun sought out the demon with no plan on how to kill something like that because deep down he wanted it to end his (Mithrun's) own life, to finish the trauma it caused and kill him. I think Kabru went into the dungeon in part with the hopes that it'd kill him. That the same thing that destroyed Utaya and caused him so much trauma would just.. finish him.

I just think Kabru is a beautifully complex character, I have a lotta thoughts on him and I don't see nearly as many analysis posts for him than I do Laios (despite labru being such a popular ship)

there is no tldr for this post idk how to summarize it. do what you will with this collection of images. have fun. go crazy

fun fact the woman in the bottom left corner is his mother, she is labeled here as "witch"

humanity's hero

The thing I like about Kabru is that he has Main Character Energy leaking from every pore. He was born with unusual eyes. He's the last survivor of a village destroyed by an out-of-control dungeon. He was taught to be an extremely effective manslayer by his hot adoptive elf mom. He can read people like a book. He picks up women effortlessly.

But in the dungeon he's completely out of his depth and all his Sherlock abilities are completely useless against Laios, the Most Autistic Man Alive and the real main character.

#and i love him ❤️ #dungeon meshi #kabru of utaya

Dungeon Meshi is about a quirked up white boy on a quest to save his sister and perhaps indulge his special interest along the way. He's a man of pure heart who has done nothing but help anyone he's met. Then part way through the story you start seeing other pov characters and it turns out every single person who has met him outside his party has read his awkward social skills and love for grilling as a sign of something deeply evil and has vowed to kill him on sight.

i'm so glad that the cubs signed shota imanaga for two reasons:

we've got fans doing this

#yeah i’ll reblog that

#lmao this explains a lot (speaking as part of the overrepresented group)

I’ve been seeing a lot of honestly very personally antagonistic behaviour in the notes on these polls, so much so that I’ve had to step away entirely from something I and I bet many others hoped would be fun and lighthearted.

I would appreciate it if you would release some guidelines on interacting with kindness and respect for each other and fact checking the claims people make about creators and actors before they post/reply/tag/etc.

I love being a hater as much as the next person but everyone still deserves respect ♥️ I want everyone to feel comfortable voicing their opinions without fear of retribution, because I see how this experiment could escalate into doxxing or death threats.

I also want to make sure misinformation is not being taken at face value. It is important to identify creatives who stand by Israeli genocide and criticise this support, for example, but not everyone accused of anything has in fact done it. These accusations should be taken seriously but when they hqge been credibly debunked they need to stop being spread. Accusations of pedophilia, sexual assault, and racism can all be made to discredit someone rather than bring the truth to light—and people are especially likely to circulate misinfo about debunked claims when they want to prove that a piece of media and/or its fans are bad.

In short, I want everyone to please be critical consumers! I want everyone to be smart and be kind to each other.

well I want everyone to be mega haters and rip eachothers dicks off ❤️ peace and love on planet earth xoxo
