This is possibly the cutest extra! Like at the top is Laios and Falin as kids with Falin's chipmunk cheeks from eating, presumably Marcille at the academy, the Tims family with a child Chilchuck getting his face wiped, Senshi, and Izutsumi giving Tade the food she doesn't like.
Why does no one talk about this?! Especially baby Chilchuck and his family! Look at his baby sibling sleeping on (I assume) their father's lap! His other sibling's little dragon plush! His grandma(? Im guessing by the shape of the clothes) dining with them! Its all so adorable!!
(I also think its kind of hilarious that Laios and Falin got a basket of bread each. I've never seen a meal where everyone gets their own basket as opposed to a big basket for the table)
Fanart of Chilchuck Tims must be so confusing to people who know nothing about Dungeon Meshi, because the caption will be something like "Let an old man rest" or "my fav middle-aged girl dad" or smth and it's an image of the scrawniest little boy you've ever seen
I have a theory/ headcanon for why Chilchuck was so comfortable tossing around half-foot Marcille during the first changeling situation, despite HATING that kind of treatment himself and being an advocate against the infantilization of half-foots.
Chilchuck mentions that if Marcille is going to age like a half-foot, she has less than 40 years. Specifically mentioning she has less than 40 years left suggests she's somewhere in her teens as a half-foot. Assuming her equivalent tall-man age is 20, she'd be 16 as a half-foot. Which just so happens to be about how old Meijack and Flertom are.
So my theory/ headcanon is that Chilchuck got solid confirmation that Marcille is the same maturation as his daughters at the same time as her struggling to cope with her new body in both mundane and combat situations so his dad instincts take over and he starts treating her with the same familiarity he'd treat his daughters if they were struggling/ putting themselves in danger.
