I haven't picked up Dungeon Meshi yet, but I'm so mad on your guys's behalf the official English title is Delicious in Dungeon. Weakest and most pitiful title localization job I've ever seen, and I've lived through some shit. This is worse than Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts to me. More distracting than Case Closed. It's pathetic. Just keep it simple and call it Dungeon Cuisine. If you're married to the alliteration call it Dungeon Dining. Dungeons, Drive-Ins & Dives. Even just Delicious Dungeon or Dungeon Delicious, even Deliciousness in the Dungeon would be less stupid. Dungeon Delicacies? I'm fucking begging you. Who okayed Delicious in Dungeon? Nothing was asked of you and you delivered less than nothing.

Happy 10 years to @carmillaseries! Some things never change (but my energy levels sure do... how did I keep up with fandom back then??). Just a quick color sketch of my favorite vampire and salty gay. <3

not liking the implications of "jesus was seen in ohio" "danisnotjesus" and "amazingohio"

Well... vegetarians might find it a bit harder to stick to their diets, but it's a step up from feeling tempted to eat humans.

Misc f4rgo thoughts, typed up a few days before the finale and then edited accordingly in italics

Dot going from a morally dubious protagonist* to a truly heroic one is such a great play; blair @/commiegoth had pointed out that the first episode plays as a gendered inversion of the original '96 movie, and taking the series as a whole it also plays as as gendered inversion of Lester's character arc in s1. Juno Temple deserves a billion awards for that performance

The hangup I have re: Dot's escape is that it's inherently tied to finding the 'right' husband, the 'right' family, the 'right' take on Christianity. I wasn't expecting anything radical from Hawley here (the way he both films and talks about abuse is, for the most part, really progressive by TV standards and it's not like we were going to get family abolition), but at least give her more to do than vague allusions to volunteering. she needs hobbies!

(I'd prefer a scenario where she married Wayne solely for social and financial stability and fell in love after the fact. tbh I'd probably still be irritated and calling it half-baked, but I like it better)

(Knowing about Jon Hamm's personal history of racism and abuse also made this kind of an insane watch. It's a good performance but like.)

Ole Munch villain of ALL TIME are you kidding me?? I love the way he talks I love the way he's filmed to look bigger than he already is I love the 'fits, I... have extremely mixed feelings about the way his story ends (why did it turn into the fanfic where they were doing land acknowledgements!!! and not even for area-specific tribes!) Whatever. '500 years ago' smashcut you will always be famous.

I actually really, really liked Joe Keery as Gator as well. Hate seeing him all over the tag, but amazing job at portraying someone who's both a violent menace and a pathetic little boy. Could very easily see Hawley going the route of 'school shooters are insecure babies and deserve our pity uwu' and that's explored but then pity denied- it rules NEVER FUCKING MIND LMAO

Lorraine!!!! Jennifer Jason Leigh's performance grew on me over the course of the season, like, everyone is being very grounded and she is being a 40s actress; she's on another plane of reality and it's so, so good. Her first conversation with Roy is easily my favorite scene in the show and her last conversation with Roy my least favorite; I want Noah Hawley dead for this I'm not kidding

Danish. was there (jk he was also a favorite; great job imbuing what could've been a nothing henchman character with protagonist-of-his-own-story energy, Hawley and the actors he picks out are quite good at that)

(Speaking of, Indira and Witt had much more story in them since they were functionally in roles that had gone to main characters in past seasons. idk how to feel about it, I kind of wanted more of them but was also glad to see the guys on the sidelines getting a chance to shine) Edit: 😒

Mixed feelings about the music- heavy percussion as Munch's theme but then reused for the siege? The pop music? 'Whipping Post' and the cover of 'Toxic' felt especially egregious, but I liked more needle drops than not, and the overall themes were gorgeous

Hated the constant references to Trump. Not because it's out of left field for the show to be doing that, I remember Reagan fondly, but because it's so clear that this entire season is a direct reaction to the Trump presidency. We don't need to see him- let him loom silently in the background

Minneapolis doesn't have a zoo btw. if you even care.

More Lucanis and Crow!Rook shitpost because I saw a post about Lucanis and his twenty daggers and became obsessed. What if Rook is a Crow too? What then. FOURTY daggers?

Also I don't think Lucanis cares about killing someone outside of the job, but he's really close with this guy here.

chapter 298: guide with that image of yamaguchi behind tsukki paired with "he's always been one step ahead of me after all" will always be famous/insane etc because of the way it retroactively reframes their entire relationship, especially in the context of "what more is there than pride?". Because that moment during the training arc is mostly from yamaguchi's pov and as far as yamaguchi's concerned (tbh, as far as the audience is concerned too) yamaguchi's always been following tsukki and his speaking out is like challenging the status quo. And here, for tsukki to be like, "no, wrong, he's always been in front, he's been the one leading me along" and honestly, the frankness in which he says it too ahhhhh i LOVE this chapter

If they’re stuck as a fusion are they still in there somewhere getting to know each other? Do they fall in Love Garnet style? (Is that weird bc their parents are dating? Sjfjfj)

I think yes and no ? The more out of sync their thoughts, the more their individual sides bleed through, and I think maybe subconsciously they’re more individuals than one entity, but it isn’t like two people piloting one body. I do like to think that when they dream they’re bkg and deku though.

mitsuki/inko/masaru is only romantic in the two 8 yr olds in a trenchcoat version ! The fact that their sons never had any real animosity towards each other made them grow close and then closer

In the quirk accident version of the au, it does end up becoming romantic, but they realize it only after unfusing. It takes awhile for both of them to sort through their emotions and there’s angst and stuff alongside it
