You can't convince me that after a particularly bad day, Gil, Chip, and Jay wouldn't all climb into one bed and just hold each other close

That after a day of either intense fighting of other crews or just a Bad Emotions™ day, that the AlbaTrio wouldn't hold close the two people that they couldn't bare to lose?

That their Co-Captains aren't as much as parts of themselves as they are?

That them being such fixtures in each others lives wouldn't carry over into soft domestic moments?

It absolutely would.

This of course goes for all of the crew, but those three have a bond beyond words themselves.

Erys your outfits are so LOVELY, the gold especially is such a beautiful addition!! Do you have any favorites, ones you love having an excuse to wear? :]

"Aww thank ya! Really all I do is nab some pretty sheets here an' there to do fuckall with. Get creative, add frills n' belts n' other things that don't REALLY need to be there but are. Y'know? I like when a look is busy.

THIS one's one of me favorites though, I like to wear it out in the city, I get cute looks from people."

aymeric/estinien for the ship ask!

Thank you for the ask! 🥺💙🤍

What made you ship it?

The way they talk to and about each other. They're familiar and fond, and I like to imagine that stretched a little more than what canon has given us (or will, most likely).

What are your favorite things about the ship?

I like fandom portrayals of their relationship that showcase their trust, Estinien's emotional intelligence, and Aymeric's impatience / hastiness. They both possess the reverse traits in abundance, but having the opposite recognized can be very sweet.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I like headcanoning them as polyamorous and Estinien as being extremely encouraging of Aymeric's capacity for love; surprised to realize his own.

DON'T LET THIS GO OUT OF CIRCULATION. ADD MORE ONTO IT. QUEUE IT. DON'T LET THIS SITE FUCKING FORGET. THIS TRIAL COULD HAVE MASSIVE CONSEQUENCES FOR THE WHOLE INTERNET.

EDIT:

Originally I linked an MSN article. I was unaware they're not a trustworthy source, but many lovely people in the notes pointed it out and pointed out that the article I linked had issues, linking much better sources.

Here's an excellent addition to the post by @/thesoulofthebeautiful:

Also, I saw a lot of people freaking out in the notes like "Oh shit, is Google gonna get completely taken down????" No. It won't. Google's a trillion dollar company, this won't completely destroy it. What it'll hopefully do is keep them from having Google be the default engine EVERYWHERE. If Google loses, that is a good thing. This WILL shake up the internet, but it won't be the end.

Cool? Cool. Here's a Destiel meme:

I've seen pieces from this extra comic before, but never read the full thing until today. And holy shit does it hammer home just how much the story is about class.

Multiple times, when food comes up in this comic, it’s also in context of money:

I've seen this last panel on the right brought up before in context of like, dungeon meshi's relationship with fat and eating, but in the full context of the comic it really hits how much adventuring directly consumes bodies for money.

As much as this has been part of the story the whole time, showcased as early chapters 19 and 20...

It never fully hit me before how often adventuring comes down to having no other way to make money but to throw yourself into death repeatedly. To be used, whether it’s by individual selfish people (like the resurrection group that is happy to try and get Kabru's group to kill each other to get extra gold from them in chapter 32), or by the greater cog of the Dungeon Economy in general.

Which, to be clear, is all too often how things work in the real world, too. So many jobs burn through the health and lives of workers. Dungeon Meshi just makes it literal in a new way: by making the healing and resurrection, a core part to the adventuring loop, directly use fat, muscle, and energy from the body being healed.

Imagine Amazon, but if you got injured at work, they could literally burn up some of your body to get you back to working sooner. And that was seen as an advantage of the job.

And then you have Laios, thinking about eating monsters:

Not just because he likes monsters a lot. But because it would help. He says something similar in the actual manga too, during the chapter discussing his dream with the Winged Lion

Laios wants to be able to make a home for Falin. He wants to give her a place where she never has to eat alone. And when he gets a party, he wants to give them a way to eat well. And when he runs a country, well…

He wants to ensure that everyone has enough to eat.

Food is political. Food ties into class, and money. What is deemed "proper" to eat, what is a luxury, what is crass… so much of it comes down to money.

Being judged for eating what's available, when what is “proper” isn't affordable, is already a thing that happens. People forced into work that consumes their energy is already a thing that happens.

Dungeon Meshi has a lot of fantastical elements, but boy is its examination of food and class very real.

An archivist found a long forgotten 8mm film reel in an old metal box, marked "Philippines 1942". Thinking it was lost WWII footage, he sent it in to be restored/digitized. When he got the footage back, he found puppies instead
