I really wasn't sure if they would animate the little hand thing.....yes....

I think what a lot of people miss about the Toshiro/Laius fight is that Toshiro doesn't even fully mean what he's saying. He's speaking out of anger. He doesn't actually hate Laius. At the end of the series he hasn't spent that much more time with Laius, but he still hugs him and greets him as a friend. He's relieved to see him alive. Because he was Laius' friend the whole time even if he found him annoying at times.

To him Laius is that aggravating friend who doesn't always read the room and can be a bit insensitive or offensive at times even if he's not really that bad of a person fundamentally and despite all that you DO still care about him because he's still your friend. He's not best of friends with Laius and never will be but he still cares about the man for reasons other than just being in love with his sister.

If you didnt believe Laios was autistic before todays episode i hope it clears that up for you

we were first shown his special interest, a very autistic trait to have. We get to see him indulge in his interest, we get to see him happy.

but this episode contains the scene that makes it clear Laios cannot understand social cues, tone of voice, sarcasm, or subtlety. He actively suffers socially with other humans.

Shuro is pissed Laios didnt pick up on the fact that he hated Laios, because he was being passive aggressive (at best, Shuro bottled up a lot of feelings), and said verbally he was Laios' friend. Laios takes things at face value, if someone says "im your friend" that's what he believes is true.

He hates that Laios "gets to be genuine". I hate the way he says that "gets" as if its a privilege for Laios. It's a privilege for Shuro who is nobility and has his behavior and emotions stifled. Laios doesnt understand that others are NOT genuine. he's not from that world.

that's why Laios asks "why didnt you TELL me?" and Shuro says it should have been obvious.

it was NOT obvious to Laios, not at all.

And also, that was who Laios thought was his FIRST friend on the island. he thought he made a friend, something actively difficult for him to do.

it devastated him to learn that he was wrong the entire time.

I love the new Dungeon Meshi episode. Never in my life have I felt more represented as an autistic person. Like that’s me!! That’s my life!!!! That’s my exact experience as an autistic person on the screen!!! They explained it so well!!!! Having people you think of as your friends think you’re annoying and off putting but they never tell you directly. They expect you to just know you’re awkward but you don’t! How could you know!!!! You just wanted a friend!!!!! AGHHHHGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

idk this is probably the best panel sequence in the series just in my opinion

I think it’s really cute that Mickbell called Chilchuck a greedy old geezer and was like ‘nyeh nyeh 😠🖕fuck you’ and was giving him the stinkeye from a distance when their parties met up.

and despite that, Chilchuck had no hesitations about taking him to hide in safety. and then they were chill enough to talk shit with each other later lol

Laios was right - she's so cool!!

Shuro: You used black magic to bring back Falin, are you stupid?!

Laios: hey what the fuck is your problem man?

Senshi:

Marcille thinks she's in a traditional JRPG

Chilchuck thinks he’s in an old school western RPG

Kabru thinks he’s in a Soulslike

Laios thinks he's in a hentai game

Senshi thinks he’s in Cooking Mama

Izutsumi thinks she’s in Izutsumi simulator 2014

loosing my mind

Weirdos who get extremely puritan over any amount of sexualization of female characters: "Laios and Senshi are protecting Marcille and Falin the evil horniness of the Internet!"
