I usually hate it when characters only change their perspective when it directly concerns them or someone they love. It's realistic but so heartbreaking.
But Janghyun has been consistent in one thing: rape doesn't ruin a woman.
He's said this about strangers. He's said this to the little gisaeng that grew up. Which was why his reaction to Gilchae was magical.
He wasn't just suddenly realizing it. He wasn't just changing his mind because the woman he loved had been violated. He wasn't making an accommodation just for her.
He was just stating a fact that he believes: she deserves hugs not insults.
a BIG part of the lore of Dungeon Meshi is how ageism is bad. About how the long lived races treat the young lived races like children and thus infantilize them and do not show them the respect and understanding they deserve simply because of their looks or short life spans.
Whether its because to them they look like children in their eyes (like half foots and gnomes) or because the adult ages of the younger lived races are still in the child ages for the longer lived ones and so they get treated/viewed as children (we see otta receive comments about getting with minors when in reality she dated adult half foot women. so we already see this view towards things like this are a thing in the lore)
We see this with chilchuck, senshi, and marcille where the two later view chilchuck as a child and treat him like one even though he is a full grown man who drinks (and is supposed to have grey hairs) all because he looks young and in the newest episode its revealed he is 29 which is still young children to the two of them.
We see how perspectives that characters are children because of their age being a childs age for a different race as opposed to their race or because they look like children is a completely infantilizing and disrespectful behavior that causes so many problems in the long run.
a theme that is completely flying over the average tumblr users head.
ive seen people get furious at other people because they sexualize chilchuck and even marcille
“oh they look like kids so dont do that you freak”
you absolute fool you missed a major theme of the fucking story. But because they look young suddenly they are children? have you paid no attention to the story? did you just ignore how the ageisim and weird mindset about ages like that causes so many issues that could easily have been avoided.
and as for the age one i see people getting furious at others for being into and sexualizing izutsumi even though she is a year past adult in tall man years, but because she isnt in the adult age range in real life (wild your applying real life society standards to a fictional medieval fantasy world). even though even in lore she would be well an adult able to get married and everything
tumblr really does have the media literacy of a toddler.
Man although I can't send this and have Spamton see the image (cuz it would be text instead) I'll send it to you and you can give me your opinion about it.
What do you think...
...about...

IT SNOWED YESTERDAY YESS!!!
(this was on a car btw, which made it even better)
found this guy roaming around posing in front of bsd artists' blogs, saying you gave him permission for some dtiys. i thought he looked sus. should i blend him for you?
if you want to look at just this stupid fucker, here's him under the cut:
I just started reading the svsss volumes (and re-read them again because A LOT IS GOING ON) but like. This shit is so hysterically funny I don't even know where to begin.
Was no one????? Going to tell me that one of the cornerstone jokes in the damn series is that lbh's adoration for his one and only 'tism person who literally cannot express his emotions to save his life is basically genetic?????????
Was no one???? No one AT ALL going to tell me that Mobei-Jun straight up yeets Airplane at the problem in one of the scenes?????? And that in the most hilarious twist of fate Airplane then unyeets Mobei-Jun not twenty minutes later?????
It's one thing to see people joke about sqq and lbh being unable to communicate but it's on a league of its own when you have to read HUNDREDS OF PAGES of sqq's inner monologue be like 'that's my darling boy. my baby. my sugar plum pumpy umpkin you're my sweetie pie' but on the outside he says "get lost binghe" and somehow deems that an effective expression of his affection that lbh will surely understand. 'Why is lbh whining and crying and tugging at my sleeve like a plaintive wife, why is he so angry?' Sqq asks, the entire circus, as lbh is about to fling himself off a cliff for attention--
In short, MXTX is the queer comedian of our generation and nobody appreciates her enough
my favorite character ever forever turned 40 the other day and i missed it. pretend i drew this on time
i never draw him anymore but adachi has been my fav since 2018 i promise. i have a counter It’s been exactly 2065 days
i wanted to draw him birthday art every year but then the pandemic happened and i missed three of them (was unmotivated or busy) but i wanted to do it this year for sure.
here’s my old birthday art for him from high school that this is a redraw of. (can we talk about the improvement within a year here… was i doing coke?)(i fear i peaked in 2020)
