First art piece I’ve done of the Minyard brothers! I thought I’d draw something with Aaron and Andrew because their relationship and their characters make my psychology brain go brrr…sometimes I consider writing an essay about them…

I haven't read Tgcf and i'm not planning to (not my cup of tea) but why is the fandom so classist against My Qing? He doesn't own Xie lian eternal servitude, he doesn't owe him anything actually, they might have been friends but MQ priority was his mother and that's okay. It's like people are only okay when HC does the whole "Will do anything for the person i love most" bit but suddenly MQ choosing his mother over XL is bad? I don't get it

Solidarity with Gaza: Needed Now more than Ever!

Not only do hard times create strong people, but also unleash the goodness and empathy in them. In the face of the horrifying magnitude of loss inflicted on the people of Gaza, it is the support of the free world that alleviates our pain and gives us hope for a better promising future.

Unfortunately, this war has spared no one. Everyone in Gaza has experienced agony, fear, famine, thirst, forced displacement, and despair. The systematic genocide is meant to shatter their souls, kill their dreams, and erase their existence.

The situation in Gaza moves from bad to worse, and there seems to be a real intention to perpetuate the war even if it means killing thousands of innocent civilians in Gaza and demolishing entire residential blocks with no regard for the lives of people.

My family in Gaza, like all the people there, continues to run in a vicious circle of pain, fear, and death. Please continue to Donate, reblog, and share my campaign everywhere to help me save my family. Thank you so much for your support so far!!!

I've been thinking a lot lately about how Kabru deprives himself.

The official description of Kabru's room, which reads: "Kabru rents the basement of a tavern on the Island. It's dark, cold, noisy, and really not a comfortable place to live, but Kabru isn't home much, and he seems happy with it. The room has almost none of his personal possessions in it: the shelves are packed tightly with liquor barrels and bottles. There seems to be a figure of the winged lion on the table....
A cropped image from the official color illustration of Kabru's rented room, showing a top-down view of a desk cluttered with books and papers and a few other items. Kabru is seated at the desk with his arms folded on the surface and his head dropped into his arms, his face hidden. It's unclear whether he has fallen asleep while working, if he's having a somber moment, or if he's crying.

Kabru as a character is intertwined with the idea that sometimes we have to sacrifice the needs of the few for the good of the many. He ultimately subverts this first by sabotaging the Canaries and then by letting Laios go, but in practice he's already been living a life of self-sacrifice.

Saving people, and learning the secrets of the dungeons to seal them, are what's important. Not his own comforts. Not his own desires. He forces them down until he doesn't know they're there, until one of them has to come spilling out during the confession in chapter 76.

Specifically, I think it's very significant, in a story about food and all that it entails, that Kabru is rarely shown eating. He's the deuteragonist of Dungeon Meshi, the cooking manga, but while meals are the anchoring points of Laios's journey, given loving focus, for Kabru, they're ... not.

A cropped color image of Kabru from a side comic, drawn in a simplified sketchy style, showing him slightly hunched over with a dull-eyed expression and his hand over his belly. Text reads: "Come to think of it, I haven't eaten since yesterday."

I'm sure he eats during dungeon expeditions, in the routine way that adventurers must when they sit down to camp. But on the surface, you get the idea that Kabru spends most of his time doing his self-assigned dungeon-related tasks: meeting with people, studying them, putting together that evidence board, researching the dungeon, god knows what else. Feeding himself is secondary.

He's introduced during a meal, eating at a restaurant, just to set up the contrast between his party and Laios's. And it's the last normal meal we see him eating until the communal ending feast (if you consider Falin's dragon parts normal).

First, we get this:

A pair of black and white panels from Dungeon Meshi chapter 31. The first panel shows Rin and Kabru facing away from the viewer, looking out over the water and ruins of the fourth level. Rin is standing and holding her mage staff while Kabru sits beside her. The second panel is identical, but Rin says, "I'm hungry." Kabru responds without looking at her, "...Being revived does make you hungry, doesn't it?"

Kabru's response here is such a non-answer, it strongly implies to me that he wasn't thinking about it until Rin brought it up. That he might not even be feeling the hunger signals that he logically knew he should.

They sit down to eat, but Kabru is never drawn reaching for food or eating it like the rest of his party. He only drinks.

A crop from a black and white panel of Dungeon Meshi chapter 32. Mickbell is in the foreground with his profile partially facing the viewer, chewing on a piece of bread with crumbs around his mouth. Kabru sits opposite him, facing the viewer, and raising a wooden cup of wine to his lips.

It's possible this means nothing, that we can just assume he's putting food in his mouth off-panel, but again, this entire manga is about food. Cooking it, eating it, appreciating it, taking pleasure in it, grounding yourself in the necessary routine of it and affirming your right to live by consuming it. It's given such a huge focus.

We don't see him eat again until the harpy egg.

A pair of black and white panels from chapter 38 of Dungeon Meshi, showing close ups of Laios (right) and Kabru (left) as they face each other. Laios, wide-eyed as if he's just realized something, asks, "Aren't you hungry?" Kabru, also wide-eyed but looking taken aback, says, "Huh?"

What a significant question for the protagonist to ask his foil in this story about eating! Aren't you hungry? Aren't you, Kabru?

A single black and white panel from Dungeon Meshi chapter 38. Laios is about to move off-panel, and he's looking over his shoulder at Kabru, saying, "When you're revived after losing that much blood, you feel like you're starving. Give me a minute." Kabru stares after him in the background, still looking nonplussed.

He was revived only minutes ago after a violent encounter. And then he chokes down food that causes him further harm by triggering him, all because he's so determined to stay in Laios's good graces.

In his flashback, we see Milsiril trying to spoon-feed young Kabru cake that we know he doesn't like. He doesn't want to eat: he wants to be training.

A cropped pair of black and white panels from Dungeon Meshi chapter 61. The right shows Milsiril happily holding up a piece of elven cake on a fork. Her speech bubble says, "Aaaah." On the left she pushes the cake against the cheek of a young Kabru, whose eyes are closed in growing frustration as he tries to ignore the food. He says, "I told you...."
A black and white panel from Dungeon Meshi chapter 61, showing Milsiril, seated at young Kabru's bedside, holding out the plate of cake. She says, "You still need to rest." Kabru, seated on the bed and losing his temper, starts to pull at the bandage around his head. He says: "I just got a little scraped up! Forget this! Start training me with a sword again!"

Then with Mithrun, we see him eating the least-monstery monster food he can get his hands on, for the sake of survival- walking mushroom, barometz, an egg. The barometz is his first chance to make something like an a real meal, and he actually seems excited about it because he wants to replicate a lamb dish his mother used to make him!

A single black and white panel from chapter 62 of Dungeon Meshi. It's a close up of Kabru holding out a bowl of hot food and smiling a little. He says, "It's been ages since I had it, so I can't wait. I hope you like it."

...but he doesn't get to enjoy it like he wanted to.

A cropped black and white panel from chapter 62 of Dungeon Meshi, showing simplified versions of Mithrun and Kabru eating. Mithrun's speech bubble says, "It tastes like crab." Kabru responds, "It does, doesn't it."

Then, when all the Canaries are eating field rations ... Kabru still isn't shown eating. He's only shown giving food to Mithrun.

A pair of black and white panels from chapter 66 of Dungeon Meshi. In the top panel, Kabru holds out a plate of travel rations to Mithrun, who is staring off into the distance with a determined expression. Kabru remarks, with a slightly exasperated look, "Ignoring me, hm?" while his speech bubble says, "Unless you eat, you won't defeat the demon." In the lower panel, Mithrun turns and accepts the food.

And of course the next time he eats is the bavarois, which for his sake is at least plant based ... but he still has to use a coping mechanism to get through it.

A cropped black and white panel from chapter 73 of Dungeon Meshi, showing a close up of Kabru as he chews with a blank look on his face. His thought bubbles show that he is reciting the names of all "the world's major cities" in his head.

I don't think Kabru does this all on purpose. I think Kui does this all on purpose. Kabru's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder should be understood as informing his character just as much as Laios's autism informs his. It's another way that Kabru and Laios act as foils: where Laios takes pleasure in meals and approaches food with the excitement of discovery, Kabru's experiences with eating are tainted by his trauma. Laios indulges; Kabru denies himself. Laios is shown enjoying food, Kabru is shown struggling with it.

And I can very easily imagine a reason why Kabru might have a subconscious aversion towards eating.

A black and white panel from chapter 45 of Dungeon Meshi, showing Kabru's memory of the destruction of Utaya. In the foreground is a snarling monster that still retains humanoid features, half man, half beast. Kabru's speech bubble reads: "It was because the dead became monsters that devoured the living."
A cropped black and white panel from chapter 38 of Dungeon Meshi, depicting scenes from the destruction of Utaya. A pair of figures in elven Canary armor pull Kabru's child self away from his mother's dead body as he screams for her. There is a close up of snarling monsters tearing into human flesh.

Meals are the privilege of the living.

A black and white panel from chapter 53 of Dungeon Meshi, showing Kabru staring in the distance with an expression of growing horror, against a mental backdrop of countless lifeless bodies stretching out into darkness, and a river of blood. The onomatopoeia for 'shiver' is written over him.
