I'm absolutely obsessed with Laios' logic that the other shapeshifters made mistakes the real party members were too knowledgeable/careful/wise to make

but for Marcille he's like "only the real Marcille would do something that fucking stupid"

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.

the African wild cat (from which house cats are descended) looks like a normal house cat but with uncomfortably longer legs

It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!

Also I actually find Delicious in Dungeon's treatment of resurrection interesting. Reviving a person requires meat and blood, so it's as if following the principle that life derives from life, or rather death, except that it actually requires lots of meat so lots of life.

Something I actually keep thinking about lately is the notion of mystically "dying to yourself" as a way of approaching the very principle of life derives from life, in the sense that the "dying" produces a new existence. Thus is the mystery of descent, and of death and rebirth.

how ppl think ruikasa act:

tsukasa: rui, don't tease me >_< it's embarrassing....!

rui: ahh, but you're so fun to tease~ your blush is so cute

tsukasa: hhh...well i'm gonna get back at you one day! you'll see! then-then you'll be the cute one!

rui: hmm...i'm looking forward to it~

how ruikasa actually acts:

rui: ...to solve your problem, exposure to productions with insects might do well to lessen your phobia of them. we haven't had many results with the physical fake ones, so ones behind a screen could be more effective :] we could slowly chip away at your fear, one step at a time

tsukasa: or it could make it worse....

rui: well how about it?

tsukasa: hrhg....that sounds awful...but i don't want a repeat of what happened on the movie set, and it's not like there are going to be real insects....mumumumum [shudders] fine! i'll take you up on your challenge!

rui: perfect. now, here's a list of movies, i want you to look up behind the scenes for them. in a week from now, we can watch all of these to see if the exposure works

tsukasa: alright... wh- WHY ARE ALL OF THESE HORROR MOVIES

So I got into dungeon meshi and i’ve been telling everyone who I talk to. I love everything about the world, characters, the art, etc.

BUT

People are not kidding when they say that senshi will manifest in your head to tell you to eat better. Like I have a hard time remembering to eat but my brain would be like “you haven’t eaten in some hours, you need a meal” and I would be like you’re very right internal senshi I’m gonna see what I can make. Then I make food??? Honestly Gods sent senshi for helping so many people eat better
