Real World Cultural and Linguistic Influences in Delicious in Dungeon by room_surprise
Fandoms: ダンジョン飯 | Dungeon Meshi | Delicious in Dungeon

Summary
[NON-FICTION FANWORK] Dungeon Meshi is full of vivid and complex world-building. When you take all the information in the manga as a whole, there are clear and consistent patterns in what real world cultures the author was inspired by, and how she arranges them on the Dungeon Meshi world map.
In this essay, I will catalog and explain every real world cultural reference I was able to identify in the manga, including character and location names, historical and mythological references, clothing, and of course food!
WARNING: This essay is full of spoilers for the entire Dungeon Meshi manga, all the extra materials, and the anime. Disturbing and violent moments that happen in the series are described, discussed and analyzed. The essay also discusses real-life world history and mythology, which contains sensitive subjects like war, death, slavery, abortion, child killing, sexual assault, incest, and bestiality. These topics are mentioned in an academic context, and not described. Please proceed with caution if this concerns you.

Summary
Despite your status as siren, there are not many words that reach those around you anymore, voice now muted and marred from the surgeries you have endured to remove the carnations that once suffocated your throat. But you don't mind it, serving quietly as the gardener of Night Raven College, making do with a notepad and pen when necessary. You are pleased to find your childhood friend, Azul, now attends the school, who spontaneously hires you for the flower arrangements he decides to decorate in his lounge with. There's little hope you bear with the silent poetry you weave with each meticulously placed flower, only an ache which tumbles over you like the ceaseless seas. However, Azul is not deaf to this song you have sealed in your bouquets, having cherished the morsels of sweetness in your childhoods where you shared the silent language of each flower.

the seven habits of highly unfortunate souls: a transmigrator’s guide to the coral sea by mercen

Summary
Sometimes it still scares you what you can get used to, in this world. By now, you welcome the sting of familiar fear — it keeps you sharp. And it means there's still enough of you left to feel afraid of what you're becoming.
or:
An anxious burnout wakes up as a nameless moray mer, one of many spawned and doomed to die. They quickly learn the price of compassion and of company in the Coral Sea, and exactly what they’re willing to pay for both. The cost of their burgeoning inhumanity is harder to come to terms with... but at least they aren’t alone for it.
or:
The self-proclaimed eldest Leech just wants to live quietly, please!! Life, family, and his own ‘interesting value’ conspire against him. Can’t someone humbly pursue a magic thesis and internally weep over their degrading morality in peace?? Ah, at least they have their very cute and kinda scary genius trio to dote on… Yes, hurry up and graduate to take responsibility for this shady ‘family business’, won’t you!? Enabling— um, cheering you on mightily! ( ु⁎ᴗ.ᴗ⁎)ु.｡oO

Summary
Mammon was in the middle of an argument with Luke outside the library when he felt it. He lifted his head to look down the hall- and like someone had lit the cord at the end of a stick of dynamite, a sparking light came shooting around the corner, getting closer and closer until it collided with the firework that was his forehead and exploded.
Mammon, help me! I can’t hold them off! They’re going to-

Summary
You were an angel. Such an angel.
Why had you been born as a human? Your heart was too pure, too kind, too angelic for you to belong anywhere but in the starry skies of the Celestial Realm—a place where Simeon could freely love you.
But God had birthed you to Earth. Out of the reach of the heavens, and out of the reach of Simeon's love.

He'd always believed craters to be among the most beautiful things in the world, because they serve as an eternal reminder that something was once there. A huge, astronomical force so great that even time has honored its impact.
Quite like your love.
And yet—craters only form in the wake of destruction. And, truly, when a human and an angel love each other, what else can follow?

Summary
Why did they have to stay with the demon brothers, if there was room at Purgatory Hall? They could have been roommates with Luke, they could have been protected 24/7.
But Lord Diavolo screwed that up, throwing a poor human into a mess of demons who quite frankly cannot wait to ruin them. Luke knew this, and he intended to do something about it.
After all, it is an angel's job to protect purity, and one particular human was overflowing with it.
What happens when Luke turns his 'whining' about protecting the human among the deadly sins into actions? When the power is finally in his hands, just who will be left to tell the tale of the demonic angel?

Summary
Simeon had been running his hands through your hair for long enough by this point that you haven’t the faintest clue what day it is, let alone with time it is. You’ve been half asleep for what feels like decades now, endless goosebumps travelling up and down your spine as his nimble fingers work their way through your hair.
Your mind fuzzes and you hum contentedly under your breath.
This makes Simeon chuckle softly, and he murmurs, “Comfortable?”
