Something I really really love about Dungeon Meshi is how little judgement the narrative has for any of its characters. Laios isn’t judged for his love of monsters and his difficulties relating to people, Marcille isn’t judged for her study and use of forbidden magic, Chilchuck isn’t judged for walking out on his family. Namari and Shuro aren’t judged for leaving the party after Falin is killed, Kabru isn’t judged for his distrust of Laios, and I could go on for basically every character. Even the demon, the big bad of the series, is at its core just another creature trying to survive the only way it can. And in a setting like western style high fantasy, where inborn moral alignments are practically treated as a requirement of the genre, it’s really refreshing to see a take on it where there are no truly evil people.
And I feel like it really helps reinforce one of the main themes of the series, that in the end all living things are part of an ecosystem and they’re all just doing their best to survive, you know?
I’m so used to BL actors leaning super hard into fanservice but either leaning too far into queerbaiting or denying it outright that Nut speaking openly about being queer and his ex partners is just like. Oh. That’s so lovely.
season 7 feels like so much…gentler? of a season?idk how to describe it but it feels like it’s definitely because this is the first season where rick wasn’t fighting character development kicking and screaming.
There’s smtn so uncomfy but rewarding to me with making the Southern William Wisp posts,, like oh my god people actually like the idea??? It helps make me not feel as insecure ab being southern as I’ve always been!! :]

A little selection from that story I’m writing for May under the cut.
She turned to him, and without missing a beat, lifted her hand to give a touch Seteth wasn’t expecting. Byleth held his cheek for a long pause.
Her eyes were wide, pleading, and for what he could not understand. Was she scared? He reached up to hold her hand closer, pinning her to him as if she would disappear like the smoke billowing upwards around them, suddenly realizing that he never wanted her to let go. Maybe they could leave together and forget about everything falling apart around them.
