There are no gods here

“ I— I know this journey’s been hard, and it’s only going to get harder, but we can’t allow ourselves to— to get to that place again. To even think about destroying an entire world. We need to promise each other, right now, we— we won’t let one another get to that place. Never again.”

just something about this line in this episode specifically.

i really think the end of this episode in particular was the beginning of Griffin setting her apart from Taako as a character, fleshing her out as her own person separate from her brother. she’s spontaneous, she’s a fucking badass, she’s sharp, shes funny, she’s protective, she’s a kickass wizard and she knows she’s a kickass wizard. and she has been through hell and back, and knows she’s going to do it over and over again but she’s not jaded. she refuses to become jaded.

her dragging everyone back to reality with this line in particular?? all of them had probably died a couple times at this point and and know they’re going to come back so the idea of really truly valuing life as it’s become such an easy thing to take for granted.

now this next bit isn’t to say she’s Taako’s moral compass or fucking whatever, but then imagine their entire fucking childhood with his sister by his side, reminding him to have a damn moral compass, that there has to be something worth fighting for. that no matter what they’ve gone through they cannot go dark.

and then imagine him growing up without her, the memory of his sister stripped from his mind.

Griffin has put so much love into this character and the end of this fucking episode is the moment i really truly see that.

Dungeon Meshi - Official cookbook Will release on July 31st 2026, with 116 pages.

- he is 112 years old

- he’s considered feminine for a dwarf in dungeon meshi canon

- he spent most of his life living off of the ecology of the dungeon (monster food) after (insert ptsd inducing backstory) happened when he was just a youngin

- he doesn’t have kids and I genuinely think he’d be a bad parent because of how oblivious he can be at times, but he would try his hardest to keep them well fed

- he assumes that all halflings are children because they are small

- he doesn’t wash his beard and this makes it hard for magic to be cast on him

- he hates magic and sees it as a shortcut to getting things done the hard and right way

- he explains EVERYTHING he does when cooking so that those around him can learn from him

- he would make a great teacher of some kind of dungeon survival skills class

- he has a mithril cooking knife

- he turned a perfectly good mithril shield into a large wok he takes everywhere EDIT: I MISREMEMBERED ITS ADAMANTINE NOT MITHRIL

- the fact that he is hot without his helmet is initially treated as a gag because of how silly he looks with it on

- he can be very careless outside of his obsession with cooking monsters (ignoring directions from his party members and not taking proper care of his supplies) (so real. adhd representation. not caring about anything but your hyperfocus. I understand king)

- one time he gave the birds and the bees talk to Chilchuck because he thought Chilchuck was a child (he’s literally just a young looking 29 year old halfling with three children) (eventually he realizes that Chilchuck as a halfling is essentially middle aged and they get closer bc he gets over his prejudices)(chilshi shoutout)

- he deeply believes in only taking what you need and giving back what you can. Don’t over harvest. Don’t destroy an ecosystem for your own gain. The ecology of the dungeon is important for everyone.

- again his hyperfixation is cooking monsters and he is in canon the best monster food chef in the world

- (MANGA SPOILERS) he tells a character who was (spoiler spoiler spoiler) and is left feeling like the scraps of food left behind on the plate that vegetable scraps can always be used to grow something new and should never be thrown away 🩵

VOTE SENSHI!
