one thing i havent seen anyone talk about yet in dungeon meshi is how sometimes the party just fucking. forgets important info. and usually it bites them in the ass but it feels so natural and human. like yeah my ass would probably forget what namari said about senshi's pot too. and then whatever plans the party makes are always built on half-remembered info, autism sauce, luck, and a solid chunk of actual dungeoneering expertise at its core

it's actually what really makes me wonder sometimes if dunmeshi was based on an actual dnd campaign, because the goofy fuck ups just SCREAM "pack of dipshits playing dnd together and NO ONE is taking down notes"

and then ryoko ties it all together into a unique sequence of events that never perfectly resembles A) whatever the reader thinks they might do or B) whatever the party had planned in the first place and turns it and its just augh. its so good!! i wanna see what these freaks think of next!!! what fucked up shit are you guys gonna do to get out of this one!!

#its been a hot second since a piece of media has made me this insane #dunmeshi has me by the fucking throat #dungeon meshi #it all makes me relax about my own story telling too #i worry constantly about keeping all the details straight and Correct #but they often arent because we're all just human #its okay and normal for characters to build a half-baked plan on poorly remembered information #its never contrived when ryoko does it either it just flows into the rest of whats going on #the way ryoko kui tells stories makes me feel like a dog shaking the absolute shit out of its favourite toy
