She hadn’t a head for dates. Between ROWDY toddlers at home, recently returning full time to work & her recent promotion to third seat, Chiyo couldn’t remember the last time she had looked at a calendar. Life was lovely & perfect, but could feel overwhelming at times. She knew that was NORMAL when you became a parent, but she supposed she had not expected just how truly out of touch she had become from her previously detail oriented tenancies.  Things never used to SLIP by her. She always was particular, precise & planned nearly everything ahead. But when she has an encounter with Akon in the hallway & he makes mention of her birthday being a week away, the woman feels her heart DROP into her stomach. Birthday.                                           Birthday…                                                                                               Oh NO…

Her face falls in her hands. That meant it was February, didn’t it? HOW could she have been so incompetent? The days had come & gone so quickly & somehow, she overlooked an INCREDIBLY important day nestled in the midst of January. Her husband hadn’t even said anything. He didn’t even seem off or DISAPPOINTED. He simply went about his normal household duties & with his recently booming dairy business, she wonders if even he had overlooked it. But she doubted it. He was too kind to say anything. Too LOVING of a man to tell her she had forgotten his birthday. She had no doubt seemed outwardly stressed to him & Chiyo assumed Starrk didn’t want to mention it, lest he add more stress to her plate.  She begins lamenting to Akon; a situation he is not quite sure HOW to comfort her on but he seems aware enough not to resort to their typical teasing & insults. Instead he stands there AWKWARDLY & offers her a “that is... unfortunate.”, which she’s sure is his own way of trying to be sympathetic in a situation he may not entirely understand. Akon was a lot how she used to be; detail oriented & focused. But somewhere in all of the CHAOS she had let that slip away. “I have to leave early.” she wasn’t asking him. She was informing him. Of course she had been VERY careful to better her attendance in recent weeks, what with everything going on & him asking her to return full time. But today this was more important. He begrudges her somewhat, but gives very little genuine pushback on the subject. Only stating that he would be EXPECTING her to stay late tomorrow, to which she agrees before making a less than graceful, speedy exit. She doesn’t know WHAT to do. Normally she would have purchased some sort of thoughtful, extravagant gift WEEKS before his birthday even happened. But this wasn’t going to be one of those years & she was sure she’d be KICKING herself until his next birthday. But she would make it up to him. After she begged for forgiveness, of course. She RUSHES home, feeling tears brimming in the corners of her eyes. Dammit. Sleep deprivation wasn’t helping much in her emotional state. Normally, the journey isn’t as taxing, nor does it feel so long. But today, the DISTANCE between the Seireitei & their little home nestled in the forest seemed so vast & daunting. Though she knows it takes her the same amount of time, she feels EXHAUSTED from the journey once their estate comes into view.  She doesn’t even have to go inside to find him. He is stationed in the pens, a gentle hand brushing over his PRIZED Betsy whist the little ones frolic amongst the other livestock, divvying out feed & chasing chickens. Starrk smiles lovingly when he sees her, but it immediately shifts to an expression of CONCERN when he takes in her distressed features. Chi stands at a distance, lower lip poking out & small hands trembling at her side. “What is wrong, mi amor?” he inquires in that soothing tone of his.  The shinigami looks to her children, making sure they were distracted enough to not listen into the conversation. Their cognitive skills were coming a long way & the LAST thing she wanted was for one of their first memories to be hearing what a horrible wife she was.  “My birthday is next week..” She says with a frown, eyes casting off to the side.  To this he nods. “I’m aware.” OF COURSE he was. Because good partners didn’t forget their other half’s birthday.  She moves closer, voice low & WAVERING. “I forgot your birthday….” admitting this out loud to him seems to be what makes emotions spill over the edge & now she’s found herself fully SOBBING. But it doesn’t take him long to do what he does & he's right in front of her, wrapping his arms around her tightly & shushing her. She feels his hand gently petting her hair & this gives her enough comfort to compose herself a bit better. She was so MAD he was comforting her in this situation. She didn’t DESERVE it.  “I’m SO sorry… I didn’t even get you a gift or anything. I don’t know how I could have forgotten like that.” She sniffling into him & feeling rather PITIFUL in that moment. She truly wasn’t WORTHY of him. Starrk pulls back ever so slightly & she’s expecting him to look disappointed. But he DOESN’T. His expression is soft & loving, as it always is when he looks at her. Chiyo feels the pads of his thumbs brushing softly against her damp cheeks. “Mi amor, there is a lot going on & you know I never really CARE about my birthday.” Then a kiss is placed against her forehead, “But I love that you do care.” a slight chuckle escapes him. He seemed almost AMUSED by the situation. “This life is the best gift you could have possibly given me & I’m thankful for it everyday.”  Chiyo wipes her nose with her sleeve & peers up at him with those BIG eyes, “You’re really not mad?” To which he is quick to respond with a smile & a shake of his head.  “Of course not. I’m sure you’ll be DETERMINED to find some way to make it up to me, though.” He laughs. She returns that statement with a sheepish expression. He knew her well.  The wheels were already turning with what sort of thoughtful gift she could bestow upon him as SOON as she possibly could. “Well, at least let me make you dinner & take the rest of your evening to RELAX. I can take care of the kids & the animals.” Chiyo knew Starrk would return the request with PROTEST, but she holds a finger up & waggles it at him. “No arguments. Please.” He thins his lips, appearing to THINK on it for a moment. “I’ll let you cook me dinner. BUT the other things we can do together. I just want to enjoy your company.” It seemed a fair enough trade & truthfully, Betsy did NOT like her nearly as much as she liked Starrk. She always seemed so uninterested in her. If a cow could be JEALOUS, then Betsy certainly would be the QUEEN of it.  “Alright. Together, then.” She nods affirmatively.  Starrk takes her hand in his own, pulling it up, whilst simultaneously bending down to press his lips to the back of it. “Always.”

DON'T LET THIS GO OUT OF CIRCULATION. ADD MORE ONTO IT. QUEUE IT. DON'T LET THIS SITE FUCKING FORGET. THIS TRIAL COULD HAVE MASSIVE CONSEQUENCES FOR THE WHOLE INTERNET.

EDIT:

Originally I linked an MSN article. I was unaware they're not a trustworthy source, but many lovely people in the notes pointed it out and pointed out that the article I linked had issues, linking much better sources.

Here's an excellent addition to the post by @/thesoulofthebeautiful:

Also, I saw a lot of people freaking out in the notes like "Oh shit, is Google gonna get completely taken down????" No. It won't. Google's a trillion dollar company, this won't completely destroy it. What it'll hopefully do is keep them from having Google be the default engine EVERYWHERE. If Google loses, that is a good thing. This WILL shake up the internet, but it won't be the end.

Cool? Cool. Here's a Destiel meme:

I've seen pieces from this extra comic before, but never read the full thing until today. And holy shit does it hammer home just how much the story is about class.

Multiple times, when food comes up in this comic, it’s also in context of money:

I've seen this last panel on the right brought up before in context of like, dungeon meshi's relationship with fat and eating, but in the full context of the comic it really hits how much adventuring directly consumes bodies for money.

As much as this has been part of the story the whole time, showcased as early chapters 19 and 20...

It never fully hit me before how often adventuring comes down to having no other way to make money but to throw yourself into death repeatedly. To be used, whether it’s by individual selfish people (like the resurrection group that is happy to try and get Kabru's group to kill each other to get extra gold from them in chapter 32), or by the greater cog of the Dungeon Economy in general.

Which, to be clear, is all too often how things work in the real world, too. So many jobs burn through the health and lives of workers. Dungeon Meshi just makes it literal in a new way: by making the healing and resurrection, a core part to the adventuring loop, directly use fat, muscle, and energy from the body being healed.

Imagine Amazon, but if you got injured at work, they could literally burn up some of your body to get you back to working sooner. And that was seen as an advantage of the job.

And then you have Laios, thinking about eating monsters:

Not just because he likes monsters a lot. But because it would help. He says something similar in the actual manga too, during the chapter discussing his dream with the Winged Lion

Laios wants to be able to make a home for Falin. He wants to give her a place where she never has to eat alone. And when he gets a party, he wants to give them a way to eat well. And when he runs a country, well…

He wants to ensure that everyone has enough to eat.

Food is political. Food ties into class, and money. What is deemed "proper" to eat, what is a luxury, what is crass… so much of it comes down to money.

Being judged for eating what's available, when what is “proper” isn't affordable, is already a thing that happens. People forced into work that consumes their energy is already a thing that happens.

Dungeon Meshi has a lot of fantastical elements, but boy is its examination of food and class very real.

An archivist found a long forgotten 8mm film reel in an old metal box, marked "Philippines 1942". Thinking it was lost WWII footage, he sent it in to be restored/digitized. When he got the footage back, he found puppies instead
