light: when i was talking to ryuzaki he--oh by the way ryuzaki ive been saying "he" but what do you prefer
L: interesting. do you think this could be relevant to the kira case, yagami-kun?
light: no, just curious.
light: (is this a trap? would kira care about something like masculinity? no... kira is a paragon of justice. he would never misgender someone.)
L: maybe yagami-kun thinks that a name and a face are not enough. does he think kira may also need a gender?
light: interesting theory. is that why you don't have pronouns in your bio, ryuzaki?
light: (ive got him. the other officers will never respect him if they find out L is a transphobe! wait, they're cops. damn it. has this all been for nothing?)
L: ive actually taken the liberty of making fake pronoun pins for everyone in the squad, to ensure your security. here, yagami-kun. or should i say... yagami-chan.
light: neopronouns?! (do i give off nya/nyam/nyaself vibes? or is this another clever ruse? he still hasn't even told me his own pronouns...)
ryuk: hey, light. don't forget about the deal. the shinigami eyes would let you see anyone's pronouns at a glance.
light: (forget it! im not giving up half my life just to they/them ryuzaki!)
L: id just like to flag for the audience that im aware this is a stupid bit but don't worry it's over now

Callisto trying to stop Penelope from leaving for the excavation sites and her honest reaction:
Callisto has malewife potential, the way he wanted to crown Penelope as the Emperor and he’d be her spouse sksksksks. He wanted to be her trophy husband lmao. This happened at some point, canon I was there, I was the pillow Callisto hid underneath the robes, pretty sure they had a conversation that went like this
Penelope: I’ll go—
Callisto: I’m pregnant.
Penelope: what.
Callisto: I’m with child, and it’s yours
Penelope:
Callisto:
Penelope: how.
Callisto: we didn’t use protection, didn’t you say you were going to get me pregnant if we were to get stuck in a closet? That was not a closet, but it most definitely worked. You can’t leave your pregnant spouse to be just like that.
Penelope: get rid of that pillow. now.
Callisto: this is OUR CHILD
Penelope: do not. I will deny your weekly visits.
Callisto: *throws away pillow all harumph harumph* fine! come here, we’re getting to work for the real deal since you’ve denied me this child

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?

something something I will love you regardless of how you’ve changed because I cannot stop caring about you
anyways so I drew this before I drew the stupid doodle I posted a few days ago, and just kinda saved it. Might colour it probably not I'm not sure.
Something about Milo just,,, not grasping the four years he has been dead because he was,,, y’know dead for it. And theres probably a point where he can’t just brush over things anymore. Life has changed without him, drastically so. Scott isn’t the same as when he died, and he will have to discover he isn’t the same either. Death changes you, whether you want to acknowledge it or not. He misses Maxwell, his loyal companion and hunting dog. He learns unceremoniously that he can’t be near water. His body remembers and he panics at the idea of just a bath. He has trouble drinking sometimes. It’s frustrating and disorienting but they persevere, and they can heal. I believe in them.
