Cannibalism is a metaphor for love

[kelsonius]

What I find really interesting about Dungeon Meshi is how it explores the role of humans/humanoids in an ecosystem and what is okay to consume.

Take the kelpie for example. Senshi is attached to the kelpie that frequently joins him while he's fishing, even naming her. Marcille also thinks it's cute and supports the idea of Senshi riding it. After that doesn't turn out well Senshi apologises while delivering the killing blow, appearing remorseful. Nevertheless, he himself sets out to salvage usable ingredients from the now deceased kelpie and even Marcille uses some of its fat for soap.

That is an example of exactly the type of relationship I think humans should have with livestock animals. I'm mostly vegan (occasional exceptions made for fish and eggs) both because of the environmental and animal rights issues with large scale livestock farming/the meat industry. However, I very much support a harmonious approach shown by indigenous peoples and small scale farming for example. Where, similar to Senshi and the kelpie, the animal lives a good life and is loved by its keepers until it is killed and all its parts are utilised.

There is also something to be said about people's involvement in the slaughter of animals so they respect the origin of their favourite products, like Marcille with the soap, since that is likely one of the reasons people currently consume animal products in such copious amounts. I regrettably didn't save the post in my drafts, but I saw someone on here talk about how far removed we are in the west from the origin of our meat products and how absurd it is that people are disgusted by a fish served with its head for example.

Meanwhile, Laios and Chilchuck are arguing over whether it's okay to eat a fish-man since it resembles a humanoid. Laios naturally wants to eat everything but Chilchuck has reservations when it comes to humanoids. This comes up in later episodes as well, where the rest of the crew appears to have fewer reservations since the creatures are being killed in self-defense and they're now seeing the utility of not letting resources go to waste.

Now I wonder if they'll take it as far as cannibalism, but humanoids are already a close metaphor. In any case, it is a great way to showcase how the arbitrary values we attribute to different species influences what we consider to be acceptable food, even though it's all just meat. I mean, I could never slaughter a cat for example but somehow would be fine with eating human flesh...

I don't know why I've decided to ask this BUT

If I asked ren if I could eat a chunk of his skin would they agree or is that too deranged.... I looked at this person today and decided I was going to cannibalize them.... my bad!

✦゜ANSWERED: There isn't a world where he would say no <3 (Maybe in the Yanderen't universe...)

a lil something for @bcbdrums from their fic "A Touch of Warmth," which i've thought about way too much (or yet not enough). Funnily, I completely forgot there's a entirely different scene I'd like to draw that's been sitting in my prompt list ^^;

Assume this character can eat steak OR there is a... substitute they can eat that cooks equivalently

When did Janus's translator kick in during Remus's monologue? I am very curious at what point Janus figured out the guy is nuts (affectionate)

janus's translator is based off pattern recognition so it pieces together more and more the longer it receives input, meaning he was getting bits and pieces all throughout, but the first human word that he really registered was "cannibalism" :D by the time he started speaking back, he was getting the general idea of at least 75% of remus's sentences! and just pretending he understood the other 25% <3

janus is a strong believer in understanding and not judging other cultures, including the crazy murder deathworld ones, so he won't figure out that remus is nuts (affectionate) until they get to earth and he realizes that All Of That was a remus thing, not a human thing XD

"Running right back like a maniac I never knew that I could feel this way! Holding onto hope is a different kind of pain But the truth is, if it doesn't hurt at all, It doesn't mean a thing!"

Stand abilities under the cut:

Enigma: Enigma is able to transform objects and people, including the user, into pieces of paper. For simple objects and animals, Enigma can simply apply its ability. However, to trap a person in paper, the user must discover the habits the target displays when afraid.

Limp Bizkit: It is a pure ability Stand that allows Sports Maxx to turn deceased corpses into invisible zombies, including his own; in addition to reanimating partial dead remains.
