Baby, you’re like a sax solo—smooth, unexpected, and hitting all the right spots.

I think Laios and Kabru would both be into role play and would be comically serious about it. Kabru would obviously be the more natural actor but I think mapping out a specific scenario with set rules on how to behave would appeal to Laios, and he's definitely up for playing pretend. He'd be like, "What if I was a lycanthrope- that's a werewolf beastman- who's Lycion? Oh, that guy? No I wouldn't look like him, I'd look way cooler, like a proper wolf, here let me draw it for you- anyway, what if I was hiding from the authorities in an old woodcutter's cottage in the forest, and everyone in the nearby village just thought I was a hermit, but at night I would turn into my beastman form and go on the hunt and howl at the moon, and I wouldn't hurt anybody but maybe I would get carried away and take a sheep from the village, so they hire you to find the wolf monster in the forest and kill it." And Kabru, notebook balanced on his knee, is like, "Okay. Should I meet you first in your tallman form and just think you're a lonely and handsome woodcutter while you try to hide your beastman side, and we grow close before you reveal yourself to me? Or should I find you at night in your wolf form and try to take you down, but you spare my life after overpowering me?"

Then when it's Kabru’s turn he's like "So for this I'm going to be an ambassador trying to make peace between your kingdom and mine- you're a king still, it can even be Melini- and I don't trust my own king and suspect that he's going to listen to his warmongering advisors and break our treaty, so I secretly manuever against him to help your country be better prepared, for the good of all. Then he does try invade your territory while I'm still at court, leaving me to your mercies as a hostage." And Laios, taking furious notes, says, "Can I be a king who's also a werewolf for this one?" And Kabru is like. "Sure. Okay."

I'll have more thoughts about the dungeons we get thrown through from each of the city-states later, but after seeing these two outside Sastasha I was hoping I'd see them again before delving into Tam-Tara... :)

Though this time they appear to have had some flavor of mishap on the way here... whoops.

Changes they made to the jester in DD2 that I DONT LIKE: too much focus on him being a musician rather than a clown/satirist/multitalented, no longer an unrepentant regicide or canonical anarchist afaik, back story is imo poorly written and strays too far from original character concept

Changes they made to the jester in DD2 that I DO LIKE: updated his little outfit so now he wears fingerless gloves and can actually play his lute

[demilypyro]

mfw i follow someone for their funny delicious in dungeonposting and then i figure out later that they're actually a popular twitch streamer

Popular is a big word I think I'm like a D lister at best. I hit 3 digit views usually but I can't pay rent

First second and third for me personally:

you can tell how nice kabru is at his core bc despite ample opportunities and provocations he did not kill mithruns hatin ass

[pansy-placebo]

I want y'all to know that your dungeonposting has had a major effect on my life.

I honestly thought the show was just like any other overhyped anime that Netflix was pushing on me, so I never even gave it a chance.

Your posts- little screenshots and memes and shipping art and reposted manga pages and all of that- changed that, and for a few weeks now I've been watching it with my partner.

I'd probably have finished the whole show on my own by now, if it weren't for our little routine:

My partner makes dinner. Sometimes I make my own, but often he's cooked a meal to share. Usually it's something that I've never tried before. Then we watch the show and enjoy our food together, along with the protagonists :3 🍲🍜🥘

Thank you for filling my dash with your dungeon meshi posts, because that show has warmed our hearts💝, given us a fun daily ritual🍚📺 and blessed our screens with Senshi's panty shots.🩲📸

And yes I am talking specifically to everyone who has ever put dungeonmeshi on my tl. Who are usually the same 2-3 moots.

[snail-cascade-of-snails]

With the leak of a new post-canon comic, I am begging the Dungeon Meshi fandom to, for once, not jump at the chance to paint the one dark-skinned main character like a two-faced scheming vizier.

It's an uphill battle convincing the fandom that Laios and Kabru end the story as friends, despite this being a major plot point and something they both state multiple times, so I'm not even going to focus on that. But even if he secretly hated Laios, do you really think Kabru, master of navigating social situations and chronic peacekeeper, would insult the king, HIS KING, to a visiting dignitary?! Does that sound smart to you? And an ELF? Kabru is passionate about the sovereignty of short-lived races and does not trust elves not to treat them like children. Why would he make the man he decided was the best choice to be king look foolish to an elven noble?

This is the same guy who was reluctant to say anything bad about Laios to Mithrun in the dungeon because he'd pinned his hopes on him:

You think he'd just wait until he's a member of Laios's court to start shit talking?

Maybe he engaged the elf in the rumors they mentioned and diffused the situation, maybe he just diverted the conversation with small talk. Maybe, as @sabertoothwalrus suggested in the link I added above, the elf actually didn't address Laios again because they were more interested in asking Kabru about himself, and Kabru got caught up schmoozing- a take I think is pretty plausible because it's a joke that aligns with others Kui has made involving Kabru.

We don't know! And we'll probably never know, but "Kabru secretly hates Laios and would insult him behind his back" is a take we need to fucking retire.

gay ass healing magic

Your hand twists deftly on the haft of your axe as you cleave the last skeleton to dust. At the far end of the hallway your rucksack lays in a crumpled pile. It was thrown off your shoulder in the middle of the battle and as you lean down to pick it up a searing pain shoots up the middle of your back and you collapse. "You're wounded." the party cleric says, sounding uninterested. She's already was pulling out a few strange tools from a pouch. "I'm fine," You say as you press a hand into the small of your back, "just a nick from some ghoul." You pull your hand away and it is soaked red. The cleric pulls a silken glove on and then snaps at you, "Lie on your stomach, this won't take long." The fatigue of battle and loss of blood force you to obey. Besides, something in your clerics tone of voice is calming, you should probably just do whatever she says. You're jarred back into the present by the warm sting of a hand gently probing your wound. "Ah! Fuck...is it bad?" In your head you lament all the blood and slime you'll inevitably have to clean off your leather armor. The cleric makes a strange hand motion in front of their neck before saying, "Stay still and shut your mouth. This won't hurt a bit if you just relax, darling."

"What are you-" your words are interrupted by the fingers of the cleric's unbloodied hand entering your mouth. She slides them along your tongue gently with a quiet shh and you feel the last bits of disobedience slip away as he anesthetizing charms take over your mind. Far off somewhere you hear someone chanting and a dull throbbing sensation from your lower half comes into awareness. Your mouth twitches around her fingers as you feels her other handing reaching into your muscles, gently rolling veins and sinew beneath her fingers as the wound stitches itself shut. All at once the sensations leave you. You shudder on the ground as the last waves of healing magic work their way into your bones. Suddenly your hearing clicks back into clarity and you can hear your party cleric saying something in a more assertive tone. "Hello? Hmm, you said this was her first experience with healing magic? Okay, we'll give her a few minutes to rest. Can't go into the last few rooms of the dungeon without our barbarian can we?" She leans down and strokes your hair, "Your back is all healed up now. You did so good sweetheart."
