#that dungeon makes you crazy

kabru, who loves human interaction, but is still very cynical about the human nature. if they don't meet his high morals, they cannot be trusted. they're clearly hiding something and he'll find out, one way or another.

laios, who is terrible with human interaction, but still tries anyway. he'll help you, no matter what. he won't even ask for anything back. he's just glad to help you out. he's trying, my god is he trying.

You know... it's the year of our Lord 2022 (almost 2023), and I still have PTSD from the Pitioss Dungeon from Final Fantasy XV. I swear.

LMFAO HE'S SO FUCKING PISSED

Thinking about the way dungeon meshi does queer horror. Using horror to tell queer stories is already subversive, but dungeon meshi subverts it even more

Normal queer horror is like. A monsterous desire and immortal love of something isolated/hated and the uncontrollable but suppressed need to consume someone to live and they only die if you break/pierce their heart. its great.

In dungeon meshi, the group is STARVING. they do things the way they're expected to and they're so deprived that eventually, one of them is consumed by that monsterous desire.

Then when Falin becomes a monster, she doesn't eat Marcille because she doesn't NEED to, Marcille already offered herself up as part of Falin by mixing her own blood with the dragon's for the resurrection.

Also Marcille is a monster too!! She doesn't need to be turned by Falin. She's a 'witch' doing black magic for one but she's also very vampiric

Her name is super vampirey especially given one of the translation spellings was Marcilla, an annogram of Carmilla*. And Marcille is very similar to Marceline from Adventure Time so it's a name with heavy connotations to me. Also her staff is Ambrosia which means immortal.

*ps Carmilla is the original modern vampire that inspired Dracula and also a lesbian. she used annagrams of her name (Marcilla, Mircalla, Millarca) to disguise herself across hundreds of years.

Marcille is like. a vampire in that death is a big part of her theme. She can breathe that immortality into someone else using her resurrection black magic and death is a huge part of her character. She wants them to live as long as she does. To make them immortal. Like. Like a vampire. Vampires which are unholy when her love interest is a cleric.

But once again this is subverted!! she doesn't 'turn' Falin, she makes her undead by giving her own blood instead of taking Falin's. Falin becomes a monster not because she's attacked or turned, but because her DNA, something INHERENT about her is now intertwined with the monster. so a god-like figure merges them. Then the only way to free her from that frenzy and grant her autonomy again is to finally consume her. something inherently lesbian about all that i think idk about you

This question lives rent-free in my brain so I've decided I'm curious enough in what others think to make a (dunmeshi related) poll about it. Please view this for context.

As has now been seen more than once in the anime as well as the manga, Laios will sometimes call Chilchuck by only the first half of his name! Usually in dangerous or tense situations. He has done it once while it was only the two of them (snapping him out of the siren's song) and in the company of others (calling his name while they stood in the dark in the shapeshifter episode.) In my memory, no one else in the party has called him Chil, though I may be wrong and feel free to add onto the post if there's evidence.

Anyways here is the question which plagues my mind: did Chilchuck give Laios explicit permission to use his first name, and if so, did he also convey the significance of it to Laios? For now let's assume Laios didn't already understand this through cultural osmosis or something, though I acknowledge that's entirely possible.

(For the no permission options, I imagine the most likely scenario is that Laios started using it as a nickname, and Chilchuck simply never objected / corrected him.)

Also if you guys have totally different headcanons regarding this PLEASE feel free to talk about them!

Sketches from my shift last night, I’m haunted by the idea of a giant Lego teen

dungeon meshi fans should all kiss me on the mouthh i make realu shitty meme redraws :]

image id: a re draw of the 'hey girl i mean they' meme with falin touden. the text is replaced with 'hey girl i mean elf' and is cropped poorly on purpose. her eyes are barely open and she looks smug. end id

second image: a redraw of the 'wine guy' meme, resembling a twitter post made by the wine guy. on the left is chilchuck taking a selfie and the right is a wine bottle in the bisexual flag colors. the caption reads 'Nothing better than a glass of #RedWine... Except maybe #Men #Yep #ImBisexual' all the hashtags are light blue. it has a date and 'twitter for dungeon' written underneath. end id

third image: a redraw of that twilight picture where edward and jacob are edited to be holding eachother instead of bella. laios is in jacob's place smiling and chilchuck is hugging him from behind. chilchuck looks a bit pissed off and is also like half laios's height so it looks goofy. end id

if you see absolutely anything that has kabru in it. And are unable to stop yourself from making it about L/abru (even when Laios doesn’t even appear or is irrelevant to the content in question!) and reduce kabrus entire deuteragonist-level character into wanting to fuck laios. I’m stealing something out of your house!!!!!

disclaimer: If you ship l/abru and gaf about kabru and don’t do this then this post isn’t about you 🤓

[koifsssh]

the chimera.

[ropes3amthoughts]

I love Kabru so much. He’s awesome. I want him. I want him to perform surgery on me; cut me open, poke around at my insides, and stitch me back up. I want to play with his hair, lightly twist the curls around my fingers. I want to hold him. I want to go out to dinner with him, my treat.

Sometimes he makes me feel so excited that I get nauseous. Sometimes when I look at him for too long my heart starts beating worryingly fast, like an alien from the movie alien is going to bust open my chest from the inside, and I need to get up and walk around my room to calm down. He makes me feel like I’m being electrocuted but in a good way. I would walk around in a maze and search for seeds for hours on end if he told me to. I doodle him almost every time I pick up a pen or pencil. When I see posts about him I often start stimming and giggling. I would kiss him in the parking lot of a gas station when it smells bad and the sun is in my face. I would follow him around like a little puppy. I could be his little puppy. I could roll over on my back and go “woof woof.”

I think about him constantly. I love him dearly. I love him. I want him to pet my head and smile at me. I want to cook him a really tasty meal. I want to impress him. I want to lay my head in his lap. I want to buy him pointless trinkets just because they made me think of him and it would be nice to give him something. I want to make art of him out of stained glass. I want to embrace him and rub circles on his back. I want to sniff him and try to guess what shampoo he uses. I want to hold his hand. I want to lick him. I want to hold his head in my hands like a watermelon. I want to sit on the beach with him. I want to lean my face on my hand and have the most interested look on my face when I listen to what he has to say. I want to grow a plant with him, maybe a succulent.

One time I was reading a fanfic and in the fanfic it said something like “Kabru traced nonsense shapes on Laios’ skin” and I imagined Kabru doing that to me and I got so warm and my throat got all tight and I started coughing and my heart started fluttering like I was on a roller coaster two hundred feet above ground and I was just about to go down a drop and I had to put my phone down and take like a ten minute break. I once saw this fanart of Kabru with his shirt collar like pulled down so his shoulder was exposed and I was totally frozen and I kept staring at it like I was in a trance and I ranted about how crazy it made me to my friends and one of them told me I’m the reason schools have dress codes. I still think about that art often. When I saw that one official art of Kabru with long hair I felt like I was dying and my heart wouldn’t stop hammering in my chest and every time I closed my eyes I kept seeing him and when I tried to stand up my legs were shaking and my throat got all tight like I was choking.

He’s so gorgeous. He’s absolutely stunning. He’s breathtakingly handsome. He’s so interesting. What a guy. I love his passion for humanity. I love how smart he is. I love how ambitious and determined he is. I love how he always does what he thinks is right. I love the stupid little faces he makes in the small panels. There’s so much I could say about him and how he makes me feel. I could rant about him for forever but I’m just gonna stop now.

Usually when I make stuff like this I have some images that like help my rant, like I start rambling and then I add images to ramble about, but no images were needed for this one. This was fueled by love alone, no images needed. I see every image of Kabru in my heart. I will attach an image anyways because he has such a gorgeous face. He’s insanely attractive. Here is a cute image of him smiling. I love his smile.

Also I was originally going to send this to Dungeon Meshi Confessions so I wouldn’t need an image for that lol. My original plan was to send this rant (not including this paragraph and the paragraph prior to it) to the confession blog, not make it anon, then reblog it all like “Wow I totally agree with this” when it was obviously just me because I thought that would be funny, but that would take like a week for my ask to be processed and there were only like 6 new Kabru posts when I checked like every tag today so I felt compelled to share my love for Kabru immediately. Plus I feel like if people knew I was trying to do that to be funny it wouldn’t be as funny? It’s nice and easy for me to share my thoughts and feelings in my own post anyways.

After I post this I am immediately going to turn to Kabru related stuff again. Either I’ll work on my Kabru essay, work on one of my one million Kabru fanfics, draw Kabru, or read a Kabru centric fanfic. I love him so much dude. He makes me crazy. I’ve been reading this fic lately and it’s been making me so crazy. Kabru has had a home cooked meal like four times so far and I’m immensely satisfied with that. I love Kabru eating meals. I feel like there’s so many opportunities to depict meals and eating and use like food metaphors and stuff in Dungeon Meshi fan content but so few people utilize that but this fic is feeding Kabru good and it makes me happy. I love Kabru flourishing. Kabru <3

So... about that new dunmeshi episode...

[gothiethefairy]

hey you ever think about how laios always try to make himself small around his friends and other people because he's aware how big and tall he is and how he could look intimidating like that so he tries to crouch down more, be more gentle, look as soft as he can?

but his "ultimate monster form" is a three-headed chimera that's the size of a kaiju because he made that design up as a child, because he wanted to be big and scary to protect falin and himself from the people that hurt them? and when he was in that form, he was still trying to protect his friends?

much to think about

[kineticallyanywhere]
