there's an essay jumbled up in my brain about dunmeshi's beginning and how clever and deceptive it is as a sleight-of-hand trick that distracts the audience from the depth and scope of the worldbuilding and foreshadowing that's being set up the entire time by dangling zany characters and wacky dishes and biology fun facts in front of us, and how that serves to catch invested viewers off guard when those elements come to the forefront, but also how it works against it with other viewers wanting "more" and not seeing it because the plot bait isn't laid out up front

how people getting frustrated with the characters "not taking things seriously" is mirrored and refuted in the confrontation between Laios and Shuro. how the characters' attitudes aren't just a result of shallow low-stakes "comedy rules" where nothing matters, but are an extension of their personalities (Laios's nonstandard expression of emotions being offputting even to people he knows) and the world and social environment (adventurers being desensitized to death and injury because resurrection magic is commonplace). the way the party refers to "saving Falin" instead of "retrieving Falin's corpse," indicating that they still see her with full personhood, and how that phrasing leads to some readers/viewers believing that Falin is alive in the dragon's stomach, conscious of being slowly digested while the party carelessly fucks around "wasting time." how the weird tonal dissonance makes sense in-universe and yet is deliberately challenged more and more the deeper the party goes

all the character building and pieces of lore slowly weaving together the shape of the larger world, laying the groundwork for the major themes that will surface later. so much is right there in the "low-stakes" early episodes if you know what you're looking for (or pass the perception checks).

it can be so satisfying to see new viewers/readers pick up on the clues even in the earliest "simple" episodes, or notice new things and make connections yourself....and it can also be frustrating to see people dismiss oddities and dissonance as shallow or bad writing because they don't expect a "cooking anime" to have depth like that. why try to question and understand and peel back the layers when you don't expect there to be any layers?

why can't laios take things seriously for once?

h-have you seen those shots where they splash water in ur face and then slap u on tiktok? 😳 y-yeah… that with modern!kyojuro.

You hop onto the bar’s edge in front of the blond stranger that had drunkenly introduced himself as Kyojuro. You were nursing a plastic cup of water you were still hyping yourself up to splash into his face.

Kyojuro had all but talked your ear off from the other side of the bar as you mixed drinks, but he went dead silent when he saw you deliver a mighty slap to a man to his right. When questioned, you sheepishly explained that it was a unique type of drink customers could order.

He hid his interest behind flirtatious banter until he mustered up the courage to ask for one of these “slapshots” himself.

Which brings you back to your current predicament.

You test your hand against his cheek, preparing for the blow. You couldn’t help but crumple under his honey-colored gaze. He was looking up at you like a golden retriever would, smiling widely and eyes all shiny like there wasn’t a thought behind them. Like he was just happy to be there.

“I can’t hit you when you look at me like that,” you whined, leaning forward with a hand on his shoulder to gather yourself.

“Like what?” he asks, brows creased in concern and your heart squeezes even more.

“Like a puppy! how am I supposed to slap you?” Another part of it might have been the fact that this man was devastatingly gorgeous, and the thought of marring such a pretty face caused you physical pain.

“I assure you I can handle it!” he shouts, arms crossed over his chest proudly. He draws your hand back against his hot cheek. When did the blush get there? “So please, give me your best!”

You put on a determined face and wind back your open palm. Kyojuro resists the urge to squint his eyes shut, though his body tenses up in anticipation.

“You have to drink the shot first, Kyojuro.” you remind him with a chuckle.

“O-oh, right! Shot first then slap- alright I got it!” he downs the shot without a problem, and you do your best to ignore the way his Adam's apple bobs with the motion, already pitifully attracted to this beautiful stranger's enthusiasm.

You’d likely never see him again after all, and that thought alone wills you to suck in a breath and continue.

You release your breath at the same time you splash the water in his face and strike him so hard across the face your hand stings after, a loud resounding slap filling the crowded bar.

The force of the blow jerks his head to the side but his cock throbs in his pants, a confusing mix of pleasure and pain washing over him. He stares open-mouthed at nothing for a moment until soft fingers under his chin draw his gaze back to yours. It's a gentle touch you wouldn't spare for other customers, but nothing about this interaction was professional anymore, so why not?

Your cool fingertips smooth over the red welt forming where you struck him, a glance downward confirming your suspicions that he was sporting quite the tent in his pants.

"Even with a welt like that, you're stunning. It's really not fair." You don't mean to say that out loud, but the shiver you receive and the fluttering of his dewy blond eyelashes make it oh-so worth it.

He’s looking up at you with a dark blush and half-lidded golden eyes, that ring of carmine bleeding further into his iris as his pupils dilate.

His reaction makes you curious. Makes you wonder how else you could make him squirm, what pretty noises and faces he would make. Maybe he’d even let you slap him around some more as you bounced on his-

“Another!” He exclaims, startling you as he slaps a bill onto the counter.

How I've Been Feeling About Aryan's Grover:

[peatzah-rolls]

I love projecting and jumping to conclusions

Anyways Max Jägerman is transgender and his dad was like "If you're going to be my son, you're going to be a GOOD one." And made him join sports and become a jock and all that stereotype stuff. It caused him a lot of stress because his dad was the only adult in his life (his mom left him) and he lashed out a lot and became rude. Rumors went around that he was just an asshole and a bully and attracted the wrong group of friends who MEANT to bully others, but no one else hung out with him so he just went with it.

After a lot of sexuality crisis issues, he thought he was bi. He knew his dad wouldn't approve, so he just went out with women (not to say he didn't want to go out with some guys, because he definitely did.) After a while of that, he discovered he never actually liked women in the first place, and was full on gay. Again, he knew his dad would NEVER approve, so he had a plan. He would go after Grace Chasity. Grace Chasity was notoriously a strict (and orthodox, if thats the right word) Christian, and he knew there was no way she'd ever go out with him.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk, and thanks for listening to me ramble about something im insane about <3
