Dungeon Meshi modern au where both Laois and Falin are food vloggers. Laois is always travelling to remote areas and cultures to try the most "extreme" foods and bring them to light. He's known as the guy who will drink blood and slam a still wriggling bug just to comment on it's nutty flavor. Meanwhile Falin is visiting long-standing eateries and sharing the stories behind local cuisine.

Nobody actually puts together they're siblings (in part due to wildly different viewerbases) until Falin in one video mentions how she enjoys eating insects and the comment section is full of folks asking her to "collab with the bug guy". Her very next video is her and Laois smiling infront of a mukbang style platter of insects and she introduces him as her brother.

#marcille is falins video editor/manager in general #which results in a lot of fancy editing and trip booking #meanwhile laois is working with his crew of senshi and kabru #kabru works as the face getting them in to restricted areas and senshi actually documents these cultures recipes #marcille actually edits laois vids too despite getting so grossed out watching them #meanwhile she makes falin eating blood sausage look like art #chilchuk is just on call at all times to get them in and out of countries #he takes care of scheduling in general you think the touden siblings can keep a calendar #itzumi is the picky eater friend that i feel needs to appear in more food review content #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #modern au #laois touden #falin touden

It's out!!!! finally! Running a premiere was a LOT of fun and you can expect to see me do it more. This series is legendarily... outrageous, I guess. It's fitting it has 'seeing is believing' because it's extremely hard for most people to believe me when I tell them it's real, it's not a joke or satire or feitish, and it was published by a Big Five mainstream press in 2013-2015.

It has the most trigger warnings I've ever had to include and I am Not Kidding.

An Ajin Manga Review: Discussing the Art

Part 1: Art Style in Relation to Storytelling

I entered this manga not knowing the first thing about it. I was scrolling through Manga4life after catching up on Hunter x Hunter and came across Ajin on the highest rated filter. I read through the comments and saw the praises for the story. I was collecting a number of different titles to read through and chose Ajin to begin my series of readings.

Why did I choose Ajin as a starter? What stood out to me about Ajin was its art. For many mangaka, the art begins somewhat immature and the artist hones their skills throughout the serialization. For example, there's a noticeable change in Tokyo Ghoul, Bleach, Naruto, HxH, etc. Ajin began with a recognizably polished art style thanks to Gamon Sakurai. The lines were confident and the scenes were already challenging in a way a veteran artist might be expected to execute. I was grabbed immediately!

These two pages are both from the first chapter. Note the details on the folds of clothes, the sneakers, the officer's ear, and his uniform even. I have not come across many manga who's art begins with dramatic detail in the most mundane things such as clothing, at least not in such a way. I'm reminded of how in sports manga, the mangakas take a lot of time to detail a player's shoes, because those have importance to the sport itself.

To clarify, Ajin still went through a maturity in its art. Obviously, there was a change when the original writer Tsuina Miura left. With Sakurai having more control over the story, it's clear his change in story affected the characters and art style as well. For example, Kei Nagai goes from a rounder more doe-like appearance to sharper and straighter lines. His original design fit alongside his character portrayal as an innocent kid unfit for the severity of the story's premise; Kei was perhaps meant to be pitied in the original story.

After Sakurai became the writer, Kei changed into an untrustworthy character who could shift personalities, utilizing both the younger look of the first volume, and the more confident and mature appearance Sakurai had created. Sakurai says that after volume 1, he "tried to move the art gradually closer to [his] own style" (ch.83, pg. 82). I recognize Kei's purposeful tonal changes as a creative method to transition the manga into Sakurai's own style and design changes that he had decided for the story.

Below, this series of pages illustrate first the differences between Kei in volume one and two. Then, the ways Sakurai uses both the softer and sharper designs to convey a transition of his character.

Finally, in chapter seventeen, page seven, Sakurai commits to the shift and reveals this new design and characterization to be the "real" Kei all along. Nakano comes to the same realization as the reader.

Sakurai used Kei's earlier more pitiful appearance to show Kei's softer mask that he wore to hide his true, more cold and calculative nature. After the moment between Nakano and Kei, the later design remains more consistent and total. Personally, I enjoy the later design more than the first and what it implied for the story. Along with a change in Kei's character was a change to the story's tone as well. Sato became more devious, and so did Kei. These character changes, in a way, foreshadowed the extremes in which the plot would take as well.

Though, still I would have enjoyed the closer relationship that was foreshadowed for Kei and Kai. I mean, look at these pages and tell me you don't see a budding homoerotic romance on the rise!

To round out my thoughts, I enjoyed the first premise, but overall enjoyed the second premise even more. In the next review, I'll dissect Sato's character and how he was handled from an authorial point of view. I just needed to discuss the art style change and what it implied for the story, especially Kei, as he plays an important role for the overall tone of the story.

A few weeks ago I found this quote on wattpad, which seemed to be from the book Liverpool The Fifth Beatle.

I found the book and… it’s a real quote!

#I guess disclaimer that reviews of this book are less than positive #but I’m gonna believe it #it’s a crime there is no video of this #paul hanging on the rafters above the stage

[gambit-blogs]

This just dropped 😯😯😯

But I definitely think this is the last book of the series.

Because the first book is The Inheritance Games

Games as in plural meaning the series continues and the next book is The Grandest Game

Singular meaning the one last book

Totally going to be sad when this series is over but at least us team Grayson girls get more content. Looking forward to his happy ending.🫶🏻

watched a book review today and wow Reads With Rachel articulated this point really well and i can finally explain in words why so many of those "greek retellings" that've been churned out recently rub me the wrong way (source)

transcript:

...and Ariadne is the daughter of Mih-nos? My-nos? Her dad, who is always threatening to kill her? And I wasn't really sure... um... what was stopping him? Or... why that wouldn't be allowed? The politics - like, let's be so serious - the politics (and the religion honestly) went sort of immediately, over my head? Just... [imitates whooshing sound]. The way it was fed to us was fed in, not in a way that sticks. Although, again, I wonder if that is very subjective and I wonder if the reason it's so subjective to me is because again I am not a Greek-Mythology-educated girlie. I am left to wonder if a lot of these retellings, honestly, are relying on the reader to know Greek Mythology as well as the author does? Sort of like the author is trying to like take a shortcut? To building out their lore by relying on what is already known by the people who do know a lot about Greek Mythology? Sort of like how in fanfiction, there is already things that are like, like, baseline, level of knowledge. Like you're reading fanfiction because you already have like a connection with this - like with Reylo, which this author was a - a Reylo fanfiction writer - there's sort of like this already... like it's established connection with certain things - like you already know, right? And that's why you, you read it, is because it's familiar, you don't have to re-establish any new baseline, you already have your baseline. And then from there, you do cool and new things jumping off of that. I feel like I am not at baseline, here. So again it, it feels sort of like a shortcut was taken using lore that was already known (I assume!) But it's known to them, not to me. If you're going to write Greek retellings and want to appear to a br - appeal to a broader audience, write for the girlies that get it, and for the girlies that don't [laughs]. Or don't, do whatever you want, I'm just saying that a lot of this was lost on me, and if I wasn't lost, if the author had filled in more gaps, maybe I would have enjoyed it more.

#like damn... DAMN its something i've been thinking for a while now but she put it into words !!! #also i feel like extrapolating off of this point. we can also see how so many people TREAT greek mythology with black and white fandom #thinking. which leads to these retellings coming across as so clunky. instead of approaching greek mythology stories with a more humanizing #perspective ig. idk im very tired now and i dont have all the words. but like. it also feels like #so many people trying to do greek retellings are just. not actually researching the myths they're retelling at all. #they're reading the wikipedia pages and thats it. #video #books #book reviews #undescribed #youtube link #cricket.chatterbox #booktok

My latest video is up and I highly. can I highly recommend my own video? yea.

look. look. LOOK. it's an obscure book I stumbled on and no one else has heard of, I promise. It's about the year 2050 where America has invented a vaccine against the Christian god and effectively killed Christianity. It's Christian lit trying to use fake medical science to argue for god but accidentally makes a godless wasteland America seem like a pretty bangin' place

i am going to kill the person working on youtube's algorithm.

#my parasocial beef with this guy is so so strong like unpopular opinion i don't think he actually Reads all these books #or if he does manage to skim them enough to give a very short review in a list video i think he's being disrespectful of literature
