A little elaboration on that weird little girl concept ✨✨

I don’t honestly know what the historiographical trends were in this era regarding the Anglo-Spanish war but it’s funny to think of her as pointedly refusing to give England credit for that victory in typical self-deprecating fashion

The vicar’s wife thinks she has “musician’s hands” and tried to teach her the pianoforte 😀

if theres anything you want crushed and ruined just let me know

ill put it in my mangle

under communism they'll be renaming "lake superior" to "lake equal"

I'll be honest, I don't really mind when "byzantine" is used as a pejorative, because at least they're being mentioned

nobody's ever like "wow, the US immigration system is so abbasid" "I was trying to change my health insurance, but their website is a polish-lithuanian commonwealth"

historical remembrance is a tough game. I count it as a win

she should be at the clubmoss

I think my favourite concept in Dunmeshi is that... There is an urgency in most of us to sacrifice our peace of mind when push comes to shove. Perhaps to worry means that you care about the emergency at hand (whatever level of emergency that is subjectively) and we pinpoint focus on the task and everything else disappears. Our sleep and diet patterns change even though these activities are pivotal for our dopamine systems and functionally make us feel healthier and help us think clearer. It's self-punishing; the "grind" so to speak — to persevere we have to forget the self and think solely of the object.

But Dunmeshi doesn't let you get away with that. These people's friend is captive in a monster's body, their world is literally ending, and still they sit down to eat. To eat is to live. Only living things eat and it is the privilege of the living. Yes, there is a crisis. Yes they are upset and heartbroken and distressed. But they still focus on the food: the very thing that sustains you and gives you energy to think, to move, to keep going. A moment of gratitude offered to life by actually, consciously indulging in it. They aren't bad people for eating while Falin's suffering, no. It is simply unfeasible to give parts of yourself to a situation while hoping to gain twice as much back. Just take the time to make food, think about how delicious it looks, and eat. Even if you fail, you need to eat. Even if you succeed, you need to eat. You need to live life no matter what. You need to enjoy it no matter what. It is never "inappropriate" to just live your life.

This comic makes me so stupid emotional. She might have never known.
