Now that I've finished dungeon meshi I have to say, while I understand the disappointment with fandom's constant obsession with shipping two dudes in fandom typical ways and ignoring the women/men that don't fit a certain mold and basically ignoring the entire rest of the story...
People acting so indignant that people would do gay or even straight shipping, because this manga is such a super women-led yuri show that's all about the power of Marcille's all-consuming love for Falin, are absolutely fucking bonkers and have lost the plot.
That is not to say that these shippers are not insane or can't be annoying in the typical ways that they are, or that Marcille/Falin aren't the most shippable pairing and just about the closest you're gonna get to something romantic in Dungeon Meshi (it's a platonic ass story and I love that), or that it wouldn't be nice for the fandom around something to stay mostly devoted to the closest to a canon pairing most shippable F/F ship. It would. But like. I don't know I'm kind of upset by that attitude now
And my intention is not to be super negative about Marcille/Falin fans, because they are certainly not all like this, it's just. WHOO! That is just so not remotely what Dungeon Meshi is about to a degree I still wasn't prepared for despite being aptly warned.

Not to start catradora discourse on main but I think my issue with catradora is that y’all wanna see it as a healthy cookie cutter relationship so bad but when it is even in canon it’s so boring and ignores literally everything that happened between them to paint the brush of ‘happy wife happy life’ over it. Like is catradora toxic? Sure I guess by my standards. Is that still fun to see? Absolutely to me. Anyways when it comes to catra as a character my issue with the redemption thing was that catra was always in self preservation mode and extended that to adora; so when her self preservation and protection of adora clashed it fucked her up heavily (see the entire series). But later on when she realized the horde wasn’t shit for her, her self preservation and connection to adora could not only coexist but actually meshed well perfectly and that’s what created the circumstances for her to join the alliance. The issue with that is that nothing in there spoke for catras morality or own moral code. It seemed like to me at any point in the series right up until her own safety and power was genuinely threatened if adora decided in her right mind to join the horde again, catra would be right along with her. And nothing in the final convinced me otherwise which is why I have issue with ppl saying her redemption arc was good or glimmer should’ve forgiven her or whatever. Like again I think that’s FUN! Catra not really caring about the world or humanity, but I think the best endings would’ve either been her actually growing to care (and not just switching sides at the literal last minute when she had no other choice and never reflecting on what she did past hurting adora) or it just being acknowledged that she’s like that and moving on.

I’m loving the way Ezra’s long-running arc of his connection to animals is a physical manifestation of his connection to the FORCE.
He struggles with connecting to a loth cat in the first season because he’s still at the beginning of his training for one, but also because he’s struggling with his anger towards what happened to his parents. He’s too focused on the past, not on the here and now OR the future. He’s honed in on himself and his own problems and hasn’t quite connected himself to the bigger picture, to the galaxy at large, yet. He’s learning to give of himself to help strangers already, but that’s something that seems to have already sort-of been ingrained in him, he just had to set it to the side in order to survive on the streets for 8 years. But the connection to his part in a greater universe? He doesn’t have that, yet. And he can’t calm a loth cat.
But later, we know he manages to connect to these beings SO much greater than himself that seem intimately connected to the Force and the galaxy itself. Both the loth wolves and the purrgils showcase both Ezra’s connection to the Force and his connection to the galaxy at large. They strong connection he has with them, the way they’re almost ATTRACTED to him, showcases how much Ezra’s grown and just how much more aware he is of his place within the galaxy and his acceptance of that. They flock to him because the Force does, because Ezra lets it flow through him SO MUCH. He may not be a part of the great Skywalker Saga in the way Luke or Leia are, he is part of a different story, but their story doesn’t exist without his, either. His story is just as important, HE is just as important, but he’s also just one speck in a story being told over millennia. The story of the Force, the story of the Jedi. He’s important because of who he is, but not more or less important than anyone else.

what would the scribes be like as trolls 👀
FINE okay
Leshy
Bronzeblood (orange text, animal motif… come on guys)
Exceptionally strong telepathic connection with animals
Horns are probably branch-ish. Vaguely antler shaped.
Lusus based upon one of the rare act 1 cards; either the pack rat to keep with Leshy’s pet rat in canon or the amalgam to represent his affinity for every sort of animal (or. Y’know. A bear. That’s the easy answer). Probably manages to take his lusus off-planet too.
Grimora
Jadeblood (green text, association with vampires… these write themselves)
May or may not be a rainbow drinker. Probably. They’re both similarly undead so yea why not.
Horns curl towards the center of the forehead then move upwards kind of like her skull-circlet in canon
Either has something insectoid for a lusus or—if we’re continuing to base them off of rare cards—maybe something like the headless horseman. But it’s just… headless horse. Bug horse.
Listen when I said “I put thought into this unfortunately” I didn’t say I put a lot of thought into it.
P03
Blueblood (Association with machines + similar text color. Sort of)
Probably lacks the inherent strength that a lot of bluebloods seem to have but is also probably ≈90% metal at this point. I mean come on, it’s still P03. Given the opportunity it’s going to make itself a robot body let’s be honest here.
Horns are ridiculously asymmetrical, kind of like the greebling on the top of its head in act 2 (it’s there in act 3 as well but it’s more pronounced in act 2)
I’m not putting thought into a lusus for this guy because he probably wouldn’t care either. I’d say hrokkall or stoat but they’re a cop-outs and also not techno cards so we’ll go with the steel mice (or mouse, singular). He keeps strapping weapons to his lusus to make her cooler digimon style.
Magnificus
Violetblood (Somewhat similar to text color (I refuse to make him fuchsia to match it) + there was at least one of these guys with a wizard motif. Plus being a seadweller means he gets to live far away from everyone which he would love)
I don’t know where the future vision would come in because seadwellers don’t have powers. He’s an exception I guess. I also think him having some bioluminescence like deep-sea fish would be fun. Bioluminescence and fancy fins and wizard robes with 2000 layers of thin fabric in flowing layers that only look cool underwater and mox crystal earrings and
I don’t know what his horns would look like. Probably some spirally sort of pattern that sort of blends due to the fact that he hasn’t cut his hair Ever
I’d say wolf for lusus but again that’s a cop-out answer. None of the magic cards are super “creature” though so maybe he’d just get something sort of crystalline—like a porcupinefish with acicular mox spines. An orb to ponder.
I know trolls have different life spans based on blood type but we’re ignoring that because it’s funnier if they’re all balls old and immortal just like in canon—they all end up on the same planet after being exiled as adults and they’re not thrilled about it. They’re also just as much assholes as they are in canon too. They all still play cards too.
