youre not yaoiful at all

to me the funniest part of Laios is a character is the fact that he's genuinely really good at what he does. it would be one thing if he was just a monster geek in a way other people find really offputting, but he can also bisect something twice his size in a single blow

in this way, like so many others, he and marcille are secretly The Same

dungeon meshi has the Mob Psycho Sauce where it's funny even when its serious and serious even when its funny. like, this is a hilarious thing about laios — but also ties into the fundamental logic of the story.

Laois is not good at what he does AND a monster geek. he is good at what he does BECAUSE he is a monster geek. in dungeon meshi, survival in the dungeon isn't due to physical strength or dnd-style party balance or asskicking ability or Willpower. the narrative takes great pains to show that it is respect, knowledge and love of a place that gives one the ability to survive and thrive in that place. that's why we see people like Kabru's party, who are clearly very skilled warriors in their own right, look like absolute CLOWNS in their encounters with dungeon dangers that are barely a hiccup for laois's party

Like, Laois can't bisect something twice his size in a single blow because he's a Strong Cool Protagonist, but because all the things he's fighting are things he deeply loves, respects, and is autistically insane about enough to know their weaknesses. the special interest that makes him a weirdo on the surface makes the dungeon his natural habitat.

We see it in literally the first "encounter" when they're preparing the walking mushroom, and Senshi shows him how to cut it properly for food. Laios immediately goes "Oh, I see!" and imagines attacking one with his sword vertically instead of horizontally.

This man loves monsters, loves learning about them, and in the dungeon, he can finally apply all the stuff he knows.

I feel like there are a lot of people out there who needs to hear this:

If you dropped out of school because of diagnosed (or undiagnosed) ADHD, Autism, ADD, OCD, Dyslexia, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, schizophrenia etc… You did not fail. The education system failed you.

i cant stop thinking about this. another cis bites the dust. or whatever.

The fact that he’s not actually struggling but just learned a habit from watching his human buddy snap bamboo is so precious.

What a fun and whimsical show! I sure do hope nothing bad happens-

the great divide is a bad episode not because it's boring filler that doesn't contribute to the overarching plot but because the initial conflict between katara and sokka is over him not wanting to put an rain tarp on the tent. like you're telling me sokka, the schedule and maps and supplies guy, who complains all the time about his sister splashing him, leaves a little thing like him and all his stuff getting wet to chance? and katara, the waterbender, is the one who's obsessively concerned with keeping dry? come ON now

#ok this #ALSO sokka's point about the tarp being a better blanket is bogus bc if u put the tarp up it would be warm af in the tent #esp w what the weather seems to be in that ep #AND they have never once slept in that tent on screen before this moment or after so what even. why #the only other time i remember them putting it up was when sokka & suki... well. i shant say (@muppet-on-a-spit)

RIGHT EXACTLY

i can’t believe this is real

Elaine Chao was Transportation Secretary from 2017-2021 under the Trump Administration. One of the agencies under the DOT is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which oversees, among other things, federal motor vehicle safety standards.

By all accounts, the gear shift and reverse are controlled by a touch-screen as well, so their shoddy design is what caused her to reverse. And the doors also can't be opened manually if the electronics fail, unless you know to remove a certain panel in the door to pull on a specific wire.

All in all, a car designed to kill people.
