#senshi do you think laios acts like that bc he's old??

[ur-stepdad]

how am i not seeing people talking about chilchuk's ability to ratatouille senshi during battle

[llycaons]

im actually more in the mood for dunmeshi rn. okay! lb time

yaad not being able to taste but still picking up on texture and temperature, and senshi taking it as an opportunity to encourage him to get back into tasting things...🥺🥺🥺even if you can't do everything enjoyable related to something, there's usually something you can do at least partially to get some of the experience. that's how I read this. it's a very optimistic, kind, and supportive outlook

the 'raised like brothers' line has led a lot of sibling woobifiers on here to write really melodramatic angst posts about uwu big brother delgal and how thistle loved him soso much and just wanted to keep him safe, and I don't doubt thistle DID love the royal family and DID want to keep them safe, but he was brought to the court to act as a servant and in this scene you can tell they're hardly acting as equals in the sense that most brother relationships today are. this is a monarch and his loyal subject. people have GOT to take into account political and social contexts for relationships I swear to god...sometimes things aren't entirely relatable to you and sometimes they're complicated. royalty had childhood companions 'given' to them all the time - the power differential still existed. the royalty was still raised to rule and the companion was still expected to serve. thistle himself knows and commits himself to this - he doesn't seem to view the royal family as his own personal family, but rather as his (possessive) responsibility and obsession. it's a really interesting and unique dynamic and it's so annoying when all people get out of it are '🥺🥺🥺 brothers🥺🥺🥺' like can you guys shut up for a second I'm trying to think

I think it's cute that senshi calls chilchuk 'chil' and 2. they run so sillay in this scene

I remember this scene being WAY far into the manga. wow, we are moving right along! the pacing on this show >>>>>

MAGNIFICENT

laios almost going into panic spiral and then turning to marcille bc he trusts her and respects her magic....I love best friends

jkaskjahkd. all EXTREMELY reasonable questions for a major character and it's quite hilarious that laois and chil are like 'hm...we don't actually know'. laios being like 'we never had time to ask' is obvious bullshit bc they've traveled together for so long but honestly I'm with him. I didn't need any senshi backstory. I was perfectly content with him being a semi one-dimensional old guy who just lives in the dungeon and loves to cook and feed people. but the author is better than that so here we are
