Folks who make those sad Amanda Bynes edits comparing how she looked two decades ago vs now…like I understand having sympathy for her but also…that content feels off to me.

in defense of kabumisu……..

addressing things I see people say about why kabru being shipped w mithrun is ‘bad’ or why their canon relationship ‘doesn’t mean anything’ while also clearing up misconceptions of the characters some fans have

listen it keeps popping up and I just gotta do this or my brain will melt (if you don’t see it around then god I wish that were me) there’s an age gap!- erm there’s also an age gap in farcille (ily), the most popular ship in the series...also chilchuck looks like a kid but a lot of fans recognize him as a dilf because of his relative age, so there should be no age gap discourse among adult characters because it feels so conditional tbh

kabru taking care of mithrun is racist!- marcille likes to take care of others as well. is that sexist, or just an aspect of her character?

kabru isn’t treated like a servant, waiting on mithrun hand and foot…I mean he gives mithrun a foot massage but no one told him to do all that lmfao

he's also not the only one to care for mithrun. pattadol is shown to worry for him and milsril was the one to start taking care mithrun in the first place after he…...y’know. speaking of which-

they probably met when kabru was a kid!- neither of them showed signs of recognizing each other the entire time mithrun was introduced nor when they were together. and im pretty sure KABRU of all people would show some kind of recognition if they'd met before. it's kabru!!! the people person!!! mr. "i-noted-down-50+-characters-in-this-dude's-backstory-for-fun-and-actually-enjoy-social-gatherings"

you would think some kind of memory would come back to him especially after hearing mithrun’s backstory if milsril had even told kabru about him as a kid. but nope. it’s just fan speculation unless there's a side comic suggesting otherwise that i haven't seen

mithrun doesn't care about kabru, his shapeshift double looked like shit!- it's obviously because of mithrun's (then) lack of desires that it looked like that, but they really grow on each other

i think it's safe to assume it'd look more like kabru after they spent so much time together (also laios can barely even remember kabru's name..also saw his face multiple times and didn’t recognize him when they talked for the first time)

mithrun is racist!- he’s actually the least likely character to be racist since he lost his desires and that includes a desire for superiority over others. he even calls his past self out on that part of himself. the other elves in that side comic were being just as racist to shorter lived races but just didn’t use ‘outdated slurs’

(unfortunately literally every main character in dunmeshi is at least a lil prejudiced, but I believe it’s worldbuilding and a sign of the times rather than a reason ryoko kui is giving to hate each character)

taking care of others is a pain in the ass!- saying this as a reason kabru and mithrun shouldn't be together is basically saying disabled people shouldn't be allowed to have romantic relationships because they're a "burden"...if someone is actually willing to put in the work, then let them be.

that's not even all of their relationship, mithrun is the fighter of their duo and kabru would've been killed by the shapeshifter or something if he'd fallen down the hole on his own since he sucks at fighting monsters. mithrun helps collect ingredients for cooking every time, too (barometz fruits and griffin egg). he pulls his weight and then some!! i feel like people forget that part of mithrun a lot somehow.

+senshi literally cooks for everyone all time. it's kind of an important aspect of the narrative.

+also, while it is a popular fan thing I see around that kabru handfeeds mithrun, he literally never does lol this is mithrun using his own hands to eat:

also here we have him washing his own body

just saying because people like to treat mithrun like a baby even though the narrative respects him as a capable adult who also has special needs because of an accident. he’s captain for a reason

kabru hates taking care of mithrun!- not exactly, he was initially surprised and put off but got used to it quickly. i’m sure he’s grateful for all the times mithrun saved him from a monster and teleported them out of danger as well

he even starts doing “unnecessary” things for mithrun’s comfort and safety like when mithrun pushes himself too hard fighting, even after his mission to take care of him was complete when the canaries came back

here is even kabru resting while mithrun keeps watch (mithrun let him sleep for 5 hours before waking him up from the nightmare earlier, too):

there's nothing more to their relationship!- they actually have had a very tight and consistent dynamic since they met and they incite the most change within each other by the end. kabru is the one who inspires mithrun to create new desires so he doesn't waste away, and mithrun is the first person we see kabru being genuine with and it leads him to be more honest with others by the end instead of tiptoeing around everyone all the time (that mask was also the reason some ppl initially disliked kabru…)

kabru’s relationship with mithrun is honestly so important for his character and vice versa, but it’s often disregarded because of one over exaggerated aspect of it (an aspect that isn’t even the first way they interact with each other) or because people want to just straight up ignore it for some reason 🥲🥲

kui dedicates many panels to them that don't particularly serve the narrative as a whole in order to demonstrate this and i think that's pretty significant

you're taking this too seriously!- as if i'm the first person in the world to be crazy about a ship or the characters 😭 i love analyzing text and it's upsetting to see them mischaracterized when kui lays out the characters so clearly and deliberately

also they end up touching each other like all the time and have the kind of canon validation most ppl can only dream of lol i feel so insane look at this:

and this is just when they're first getting to know each other cuz there's a fuckload more

kinda hard to explain how i don't actually need them to get married or whatever but i'd die on this hill for them and i enjoy their dynamic immensely

haha you thought you were reading ship discourse but it was actually a character analysis 🤪🤪🤪

also don’t somehow take this to mean I think anyone has to ship them, I just need everyone to understand these accusations kind of don’t make sense especially when they can also apply to other pairs or characters

bonus kabru just looking at mithrun:

i think that at first belle would only hangout with sage out of wanting to piss off eggman, but tragically she is not immune to sages charm (of being a baby)

who up seeing their disorder in a fictional character but feel like its not their place to put a name on it

something about finding the people who sit through your info dumps with joy on their face and enthusiasm for your passions. something about finding the people who info dump right back at you because they know you love hearing about their passions. something about finding the people who manage to sum up your being in one niche, oddly specific sentence that lives in your mind rent free for the rest of time. something about finding the people who not only accept you for who you are but embrace you for who you are. who not only tolerate your quirks and differences but love and cherish them.

GOD there is a very big difference between "this character is autigender" and "this character is too autistic to understand gender". just like there is a very big difference between "this character is asexual" and "this character is too autistic to know what sex is"

and the first way to start to tell the difference between those things is to ask yourself, "am I acknowledging and respecting the complexities of this characters' identity + how that is portrayed, or am I saying this as a way to sideline or dismiss the way other fans are discussing their sexuality/gender"

Psst you’re not a bad nomnom bc you’re upset about this or any episode!!! I think wanting their show to be good = wanting their show to be loved = wanting them to be loved. One of the reasons these last couple episodes have been so upsetting for me is bc jimmysea got so much hate from vice versa bc ppl didn’t like the writing or the plot and idk I didn’t go there at the time but I’ve heard this among other things and I’d hate for that to happen again here. I don’t want people’s opinions of the story of last twilight to influence their opinions of jimmysea :((( I’d hate for their legacy to be a show that everyone absolutely loved until the ending ruined it but even in that case they didn’t write the script so your disappointment is not in them at all! I think your investment in the show in the first place is an indication of your investment in them and their success :)

NOT TO BE DRAMATIC BUT THIS ALMOST MADE ME CRY

i've been struggling quite a bit these past couple of days because there are a lot of people both in my ask box and on twitter saying that you can't be considered a nomnom if you dislike the break up or how the show is gonna end and it made me feel pretty bad because regardless of how i feel about these last episodes, my love for jimmysea hasn't changed one bit. im actually only growing prouder of them with each passing day and i can't wait to keep supporting them in the future, and believe it or not im also happy that most people are liking the separation!!!!! because you're right, i've been absolutely terrified about new fans suddenly turning on them if the show went down a road people didn't enjoy. the entire bl fandom completely dismissed jimmysea just because vice versa wasn't good enough in its eyes and i don't want this to happen ever again

so yeah, im really glad to see everyone enjoying and defending the break up, and while i do desperately wish i could just love it too (i've literally spent the past year of my life waiting and screaming about this show, i was fully ready to love everything about it), i can't help feeling how i feel. i've never been a popular blog and i don't strive to become one, i only hope i can still love jimmysea in my little corner regardless of what im gonna think about last twilight as a whole

lrb there is definitely a bit of a weird disconnect in the way i view my own queerness and the way others view it

don't you just love seeing 1 tiktok about something that can be wrong with your body that you resonate with which leads you down a rabbit hole of research and diagnosing yourself with a new thing that explains everything you've been dealing with but didn't have the words for but you don't want to bring up official diagnoses with your doctor bc you either can't afford the testing or you're afraid you wouldn't be believed and/or told you're wrong even though you KNOW something is wrong w you but dont have the mental energy to pursue it and so you just walk around with a bunch of shit in your head about things you may or may not have but cant/wont do anything about and scream

[call-me-frosting-or-not-idc]
