I Think What People Miss About Laios/Izutsumi Interactions And Why She Doesn't Like Him At First And

yknow ive noticed nobody really talks abt the episodes in the castle town in regards to izutsumi beyond "haha shes embarrassed because she was being cuddly how cute". Has nobody else realized how that was just yet another instance of her having her agency stripped away from her. why is nobody talking about how fucked up that is

Not the best, but it's a start!

Quick lil design exploration of my self insert esque WoF character.

Body and head could def use some work but that tail is KILLIN IT!!!!!

Maybe its because I'm bitter or because I just left a fandom that reduced one of the main characters to a one off joke when the POINT is that they're complex but I hate how this fandom treats Izutsumi.

I hate how some people who interacted with the fandom before watching the anime thought that she didn't even speak because EVERYONE just draws her as a cute stupid cat whose personality is just being a cat

Again, maybe I'm just bitter, but I hate how the most common joke is the "Izutsumi: izutsumi" cause apparently no one can be bothered to actually consider her thoughts and feelings and personality.

Like yeah I'm not saying it can't be funny but it quickly becomes tiring when she's reduced to just that

Especially when her entire arc is about finding her identity as a person and as part of a community, finding a balance between her human and cat souls because she's both but also neither. Especially when canonically she's ashamed of the one time she behaved like just a silly little cat (golden kingdom)

Dungeon meshi does such a great job at displaying platonic intimacy. Like all the characters in our main group are comfortable around each other by the end of the season. And we get to see them get more comfortable the more they open up to one another. Allowing us to have cute scenes like this showing a normal form of trust that's built over time.

IZUTSUMI IS HERE!! THE KIBBY IS REAL!!

It’s so sad to me that Izutsumi Dungeon Meshi’s mother wears something similar to Mongolian/Central Asian clothing, not Japanese clothing. That Izutsumi was probably dragged out of their native culture and doesn’t know it.

i dont know why theres so much confusion and discourse about the “age of maturity” in Dungeon Meshi races, like a 16 yr old tall-man is still 16 like they would be irl, its not like in this world humans mature differently, its 16 the same reason we have Sweet 16s and Quinceañeras and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, humans have marked the “being a man/woman” point around 13-16 for most of human history, it doesn’t mean that in Dungeon Meshi humans age in some crazily different way?

Sometimes I like to imagine Izutsumi sounds like me-mow from adventure time
