Senshi is probably the most fandomized character in Dungeon Meshi, and while I don't exactly mind it, I do think he has more depth than that. I find all his little quirks and idiosyncrasies to be fascinating; he's very stubborn and set in his ways about things that seemingly don't matter, he thinks about things that other people don't, he has a deeply set value system that informs everything he does. He cares A Lot, like, this man cares So Much. That's the kind of person you have to be to drop everything to help a random group of adventurers save one woman. But because he feels so strongly about things, he can also be surprisingly immature at times (although he's also the character most likely to admit he was wrong about something). I think part of that is because he's lived in the dungeon on his own so long that he's not used to working with other people. He will extend empathy and friendship to almost anyone, but he does things his own way, and he doesn’t always feel the need to explain his way of thinking because again, he's usually on his own. He's both incredibly wise and kind of childish in ways that seem contradictory at first, but make more and more sense the more we learn about him. Major kudos to Ryoko Kui's writing and pacing to make that transition so seamless and have all those details from his backstory click into place perfectly. And on a wider thematic level, Senshi is kind of a perfect counterpart to characters like Thistle (or any other dungeon lord). Senshi understands the dungeon in ways that even its creator doesn't. Although everyone is scrambling to take control of the dungeon, Senshi is the one who actually takes care of it. He's the one who thinks about things like nutrition and proper sleep and the ecosystem, all those things that it's easy to ignore when you get swept up by the grandeur of it all. He's the most important character to have present in a story that explores life and death and hunger. His constant, invisible presence holds everything together.
do you support women's wrongs? do you want to watch a woman beat the shit out of people in hand-to-hand combat and have their blood on her fists? do you like women who are fueled by the promise of vengence? women who will not hesitate to shoot someone in the head? women who are followed by death and destruction? have regret? anger? gray morals?
if so: PLEASE watch Echo (Marvel)! it's TV-MA and created by Marion Dayre (she worked on Better Call Saul). it's on Disney+ and Hulu! i know disney has been sucking right now and marvel is being insane but please. if anything. echo
I hate when you see a porn bot with a really good url. I just got one called 'prescribed-broadside.' The doctor says you're sick and the only cure is my fucking canon. Beat to quarters.

"This is her curse. In each life she makes the best of a bad situation, finds love where anyone else would settle for icy tolerance, makes everything work for however long she has and every damn time it is taken away and-
In the next life, she promises, in the next life she will do better."
