hi!! so cool that you’re open to textpost requests :3 would it be possible for you to do a farcille compilation?
HAPPY LESBIAN VISIBILITY WEEK TO THEM!!! here’s dungeon meshi textposts pt21 :) for anyone who has asked for specific textposts i promise i will get to them! i've gotten a handful of requests and if i haven't responded yet it's probably b/c i'm waiting for more of the anime to come out so i can use those screencaps
btw they play the same soft piano music over shuro talking about falin as they did when marcille and falin were in bed together. the captions call it "romantic music". hmm
i love dungeon meshi and the way it views people in a way i grew to think no one else ever would. the way it frames bodies and nudity without it needing to be inherently sexual, and any fanservice or sexualization there is only feels very honest rather than perverse. the neutral way things like the harpies or humanoid monsters have exposed boobs and nipples. or the farcille bath scene being fanservice in a way but feeling intimate in an entirely different way than that to me. it feels so removed from the weight of the way others view people with beauty standards and other imposed characteristics—yet it paints people as beautiful around its own definition based on the way people actually are. the way it frames human beings as a whole, as living like any animal does with universal and inescapable needs. no matter how we see ourselves we still get hungry, we still get hurt, we still get sleepy, we still get thirsty. the characters have magic and anime fighting strength but remain as fragile as any living thing, being able to be killed in one shot. and every shape the different characters take with their diverse bodies is drawn with equal appreciation for their form. there are many things dungeon meshi feels passionate about, such as how clearly invested ryoko kui had to be in zoology and stuff for a lot of worldbuilding, but that wouldnt be complete without this touch too. i just love how much this series was clearly created by someone deeply in love with and invested in human beings.
Marcille's reaction to Chimera!Falin breastily boobing her way out of her shirt becomes that much funnier when you remember that she literally inspected Falin's tits like five episodes ago
