Waifu Warz! Idea Poll [May 2024, "A Delicious In Dungeon Character"]
- Soupy 21
- Sampler 25
- Uncanny 26
This one was WAY closer than I imagined it'd be. The ones that did pretty well are all medieval high fantasy-oriented series... guess I know what element to lean into. 🤔

The easiest, lowest-hanging-fruit option here would be to just go "oh, they're in a dungeon, so they get attacked by slimes and inflated!" However, a couple things about that:
1. I already did that with Konosuba characters
2. The Dungeon Meshi cast are quirky, but not unapologetically stupid like Konosuba's are. They probably wouldn't just fall head-first into it.
Where this series really diverges is the cooking aspect- which this one would focus heavily on. The "bit" with this one is that they defeat the slimes with ease, Laios gets a liiittle too interested in having Marcille "taste-test" all the dishes he/Senshi makes with them, balloon hijnks ensue. Plays into her "AAA I DON'T WANNA EAT MONSTERS" thing a bit. Chilchuck serves the role of going "uhh guys don't you think you're feeding her a bit much".
And, obviously, because she's full of slime, the sound design direction would reflect as such. Goopy, bubbly.
CHARACTERS: Marcille (inflatee) and the rest of the party (Laios, Chilchuck, Senshi, no Izutsumi because this takes place before she joins.)

Of course, Falin is also a popular pick for DM/DiD kink art. I think a similar sort of "they cakewalk the dungeon and one of the girls gradually eats too much food" scenario would work with her... but her palette is more varied. She eats a little bit of everything. Maybe get some Marcille-feeding-Falin action in there. Maybe reference a few spoiler-y events involving dragons and chimeras near the end 🤭
Compared to the Marcille-flavored scenario above, this one would have more digestive-themed sounds sprinkled in here-and-there. Somewhat like my recent Stocking fatflation audio, but leaning more in the "inflation, but with food elements" direction rather than that one's "fat, but with inflation elements". The term "food balloon" fits best, I feel.
CHARACTERS: Falin (inflatee) and the rest of the (former) party (Laios, Marcille, Chilchuck, maybe Shuro and Namari? 6 characters would be a lot to juggle)

okay yeah I'm kinda reaching with these titles but c'mon you know that's not what it's actually gonna be called :V
That said, this one would revolve around the canaries rather than Laios' party.
This options is for people who want to see something some less-noted characters get the spotlight. Specifically, Cithis using her hypnosis magic to bully a handful of other characters into compromising scenarios. "Drink that entire river", "eat this comically-large plate of food", that sort of thing. I'll figure out some interesting ones if this option wins.
A few targets that come to mind:
Pattadol (Cithis' superior). Cithis hates Pattadol and would probably give her something harsh.
A handful of random other dungeon-crawlers she comes across from the other parties.
aaand Marcille, obviously. Probably referencing when Laios' party interacts with the canaries.
The most emphasis/screentime would be during Pattadol's and Marcille's segments, with the others sandwiched inbetween as a montage.
CHARACTERS: Cithis, Pattadol (inflatee), Marcille (inflatee), and others.

and yes, the joke is that these are all inflation scenarios despite this series being known for the "i fw fat bitches!" meme :^)
That said, expect me to do something with Mithrun eventually too. I need that twink to get fattened up into a ball of dough.
