This is one of my favorite minor details in Dungeon Meshi, firstly because what in the femme fatale, but also because it's one of those little things that raises so many questions about worldbuilding.

The Occam's Razor defense attorney in me says that Ryoko Kui gave Kabru a boot knife because she wanted him to escape from his bonds here. And Kabru is a very competent swordsman, why wouldn't he have a boot knife, sure. He's already got a dagger, he can have this too.

And yet: the implications. Kabru, why do you have that? That is not remotely something that could be easily accessed or used in combat. Nobody is pulling out a pen knife from the heel of their boot during a fight with a monster. It's useless in the dungeon ... unless you're the type of person who isn't just worried about monsters.

I've mentioned this before, but I consider one of Kabru's functions in the narrative as being the character who fully brings the idea of human ecosystems into the story. There's a reason why he's always connected to large groups of people (Toshiro's party, the Canaries). He (along with Mr. Tansu, briefly) introduces the reader to the social and political forces working on the dungeon, showing us that none of this is happening in a monster-filled vacuum. His confrontation with the corpse retrievers, who very nearly kill Kabru's party permanently with their reckless murder-for-money scheme, reminds us that monsters are not the only things that prey on humans. Kabru understands the ways the dungeon causes people to put profit over human lives.

We only get hints of it in the story, but like any gold-rush-style economic boom, it's implied that there is a lot of crime and corruption surrounding the dungeon.

So yeah, it really makes me wonder why Kabru keeps a tiny knife in his boot, meant to be carried on him even in situations where he would otherwise be unarmed. Stored exactly in the place where it's easy to reach, even if, for some reason, your hands are tied behind your back.

#Dungeon Meshi spoilers #Kabru #Kabru of Utaya #using that tag even though I'm ethically opposed. it's fine #dungeonposting #musings with Dea #btw I'm genuinely not trying to imply anything weird here I really do think Kabru has Seen Some Shit #Kabru and his pre-canon pseudo-espionage lifestyle #this was supposed to be??? more of a joking post? but I talk too much #I mean I'm only thinking about it because it IS funny. Kabru. what the hell do you get up to in your spare time.#he didn't even stop to think 'oh no what do I do'#he was just like 'good thing I have a knife in my boot'#even if this was his first time being tied up it just makes me feel like he was prepared for this kind of danger #maybe Milsiril taught him this too

Kendra, inwardly: Omg I am so scared right now. I’m going to die here. This freakyass magical creatures about to do me in. And could do so easily, which I am imagining very vividly right now. Those are huge teeth. I am fighting god to hold it together right now. I don’t want to die. Why am I here? Just to suffer, every night I close my eyes and—

Kendra, outwardly: I cast vicious mockery.

#and thus restarts the classic nature versus nurture debate #is she like this bc of those classic burgess genes #or is this a case of constantly snarking off with her little brother #which has hot wired her flight or fight response #to talking shit #she gets a rush of adrenaline and her brain just starts crunching out insults #like do yall remember when she was literally at her job #just going about her normal everyday life #and decided for no reason that the 5 senses test was just straight razor bladed in the candy kind of a situation #which like she was right #but still #meanwhile #as shes actually kidnapped shes just calling this lady a witch to her face three times in a row full on bat at the hornets nest type of dea #fhdw #fablehaven #kendra sorenson #kendra is so afraid all the time #and she only knows one way to handle it #some people count to ten some people disassociate #kendra goes fuck fuck this is so scary #quick whats meanest thing i can think of #technically the bracken scene is notttt a scene shes scared in #but it just cracks me up #she just met this man and shes already calling him stupid #its the one scene during which i ship brackendra #wait!! she does the same move with gavin!#she literally laughs in his face so hard that mr demon prince crumples into wet tissue #shit #is this girlypops flirting strategy too?#girl really just has a one size fits all response button

I used to have this rdr2 oc and I loved her so much. My friend and I used to rp, her character and mine were married.

We don't speak anymore, and my character is left abandoned. Idk, I just don't have people to talk to about her to, but I miss her so much. She was my best OC

Her name is Elizabeth.

Constantly rotating Falin Touden in my head as one of the best examples of "haunting the narrative" I've ever seen. Schrödinger's maiden. Schrödinger's chimera. She's the saintly little sister they have to save and the savage dragon they have to slay and the girl they love that they have to eat.

They literally fridged her and defrosted her.

#CHARACTER OF ALL TIME #I say this about every dunmesh character. Because it's true.#Dungeon Meshi #Falin Touden #DUNGEON MESHI SPOILERS #don't even get me started on how Kui deconstructs her in the 'angelic girl on a pedestal' role #how every time she appears she's in conflict with her own selfless desires versus her selfish ones; being consumed versus devouring #Laios's last memory of her is of her self sacrifice and Marcille's is of Falin saying she doesn't care if saving her hurts someone else #let's talk about that!!!!#musings with Dea #sorry I'm going insane because my only two friends reading the manga are doing it at a snail's pace

If I'm real, the most astounding thing about the american political system is the way our politicians will often have no fucking clue what they're on about (especially about healthcare and whatnot), and experts will fucking beg them to reconsider their awful politics and yet those politicians will still have the power to go "anyway..." and ruin so many peoples' lives and livelihoods.

#politics #YES i get that they are voted in but that doesn't prevent them from fucking up #i'm just saying it astounds me how fucking *little* they care #and i'm still astounded at how so much of our government is just 'how can we ruin these peoples lives lol'#like my little brother is being prescribed very necessary medication thats a controlled substance and it's a NIGHTMARE to navigate now...#...because the DEA is fucking useless and the laws surrounding those substances are useless #though this ISN'T solely me bitching about the DEA. as much as i despise them they are a symptom of what i'm talking about imo
