I just realized you can't do the "who's the main anime character" thing with Dungeon Meshi

Like if you didn't know any better, you could NOT find the MC in this pic

justice for kabru. they put my man in the wrong genre. bro was meant to be playing psychological games with light yagami and instead he’s playing yaoi mind tennis with a blonde himbo

(There will be stickers, watch this space :,,)

Here are my Dungeon meshi stickers! I basically thought "hey. lots of people will have cute food themed stickers. And that good and well, but I want that serious stuff too!" So I decided to make a series for the main gang based on sense of self instead!

Like I said before I DON'T hate the 2018 WSD miniseries but I can never forgive them for how dirty they did my man Bigwig's character

rereading Watership Down and it’s hitting me anew how Strawberry’s warren has art and song and poetry because they have the luxury of free time in having plenty of rich food and no predators, but also because they’re stuck in all that free time to think about all their trauma and need a way to express it, AND how they’re willing to talk about those emotions only through poetry because it can be vague and metaphorical enough to justify that you’re not really talking about it. And yet they reject the one art that is such a significant part of all rabbit culture, which is the folktales of El-ahrairah, because that’s not vaguely talking around your feelings, that’s talking openly of what you could and should be and reminding yourself how you’ve failed and become complacent. Strawberry’s warren has the luxury of being able to develop further art but must use it to express their trauma with plausible deniability of actually acknowledging their trauma. The other rabbits are too busy with survival to develop art beyond the folktales, but it’s those folktales that keep them alive.

a departure from my usual style as a vent piece with all the recent legislation and bad news that's been in the air. I wanted to capture the style of the Watership Down animated prologue in combination with taino symbology and also, you know, still have it look like my own work. So here's this! As usual people who support me on that artist support site saw this first and without a watermark on it

finally read the book Watership Down several months ago, after having only watched the movie for the last like, two decades, and I keep mourning what was lost in adaptation. this isn’t a dig at the movie at all, I know they had to work within a very small timescale, and I still love it very much, it’s just like

ok so you have this pretty linear movie about rabbits living their lives and experiencing both violence and hope. ok got it

but then the book? there’s an entire extra third of content (maybe even double??) that’s purely Prince Rabbit stories. and at first it’s like, wow this is really cool! we’re seeing more rabbit culture through these stories: what they think about other species, traits they value, the ways they use these stories to soothe one another or learn or connect, etc.

but THEN. then. the very last Prince Rabbit story in the whole book, detailing all of Hazel’s adventures with his original group… and his memory is so gone that he doesn’t even recognize the story as his own

that alone recontextualizes EVERYTHING. it’s not even just that every Prince Rabbit story we heard previously was probably a retelling of a real event, that’s a given. but more fundamentally, there’s this theme that every rabbit’s story is remembered as Prince Rabbit’s story. that El-ahrairah is not just one individual, but the the collective spirit of rabbits to survive and continue on. that every rabbit carries a bit of El-ahrairah in their soul– his wit, his speed, his loyalty to his warren. that these stories connect so many different El-ahrairahs– and rabbits as a whole– across time and space. that in many ways, rabbits are themselves  stories

I really wasn’t expecting a new favorite metafiction from WD, but I’m glad I finally picked it up

[dragospettro]

“I simply know that something is wrong. Half of them think I’m mad, and you’re to blame, Hazel. Because you know I’m not and you still won’t listen.”

I guess it meant something to me.

[dragospettro]

Something very important i noticed and now I cannot sleep because that

Nobody animated a rabbit thumping correctly

In many media, rabbit thumping is represented in the same way. The rabbit hits the ground consecutively with a single paw.

Which is not the case.

The thump doesn't look like that, the rabbit will mostly use its two legs to hit the ground a couple of times. Rather than a tap, it is more similar to a small hop.
