This shit right here is why people are going to fall in behind him as king btw

They can't hurt each other they can't do it. It doesn't matter how desperate or impossible the situation is they just can't. Oughhhhhhh

#the supposed necessity of Marcille's death is what pushes Laios to understand the demon & how to kill it #and the realization that she can't kill Laios is what breaks down Marcille's final walls and lets the group in to help her #their love for each other is an immovable truth & the rest of reality and infinite magic shall simple have to reshape itself around that :)

It really is her go-to move huh

Do you think, like. The legends about these two will get mixed together over the years. The serpent and the dragon....

#the mighty dragon that devoured a demon & the winged serpent that precipitated the event #maybe the dragon & the serpent get confused for one another in some stories & historians argue about it #'legends say the dragon had many wings much like the also oft-discussed serpent. perhaps they were the same creature?'#'NO you idiot the dragon has many heads this is a well noted fact. the serpent was its harbinger'#'actually the serpent was an ally of the demon that allowed it to escape into the world. it was also consumed by the dragon'#Marcille in the corner just withering away through all of it. why are they powerscaling my OC vs Laios' OC............#but also maybe serpents & winged serpents could become signs of good luck. blessings to help triumph over future hardship #the serpent invoked before the hardest times & the dragon invoked as a celebration of overcoming them & a sign of rest #idk idk I just think like. this had to have made an impression too right. it's her wonderful skyfish & I want it to be part of the legends

I think this exchange is v important to framing Chilchuck & Laios' relationship bc at the end of the day Chil mostly* only gives Laios shit when Laios is already confident in what he's doing, or like, actively being a shit himself. When Laios is feeling guilty for something actually just beyond his control, Chilchuck helps balance things out. He really is a good friend, at the end of the day :')

#*he definitely definitely crosses the line sometimes. with multiple people. but I think this is what he aims for #subconsciously or not

Ough Marcille you are so traumas girl

Ik it's for strategic reasons (hoping the mushroom leads them to her), but Laios hanging on to Marcille's walking mushroom is extremely cute

"What about Thistle" being the very first thing he says.......

ambrosiagourmet

Awww

#Laios has never met a lonely elf w/ a deep-seated fear of losing their loved ones that he didn't try to befriend huh

"What about Thistle" being the very first thing he says.......

#if this reread has done anything it has given me even more appreciation for how much Laios cares about other people #genuinely who else (in current times) has even cared about Thistle at All #but Laios has been thinking about what it means to be a dungeon lord & what Thistle might be experiencing #the guy just A) killed all his friends and tried to kill him #B) tortured him #C) is the reason Falin is a monster #but still. what about Thistle. ugh.

Wait WAIT the sword is on the table before Thistle does his little happy dance and it's the sword falling on him that makes Thistle drop the book

It's because the book fell open that the Lion is able to attack Thistle, and the Lion can make the sword fall bc it can control Kensuke.

THE ENTIRE THING HINGES ON LAIOS KEEPING HIS TINY MONSTER FRIEND AROUND.

#also just in general the fact that the Lion orchestrated things here is a wild detail

I looooove the way the Marcille covers her ears and turns away from Laios killing Falin & how, because of that, the others race over to check on him while she's still turned away. It's such a good characterization detail and such a good contrast to where Laios is at right now. The Marcille dungeon lord set-up is delicious.

#and that followed by her comforting Laios by telling him Falin is basically just asleep #and him not going with it. it's so good!!!!!!

Izutsumi doesn't have memories of her mom, but still feels the pull towards safety and comfort and love that the succubus illusion provides.

She can't recognize the actual parental love that the succubi show to their larvae, but she displays the exact same ferocity and kindness when guarding & caring for her companions!!!

Look at her expression!

She literally feeds everyone the milk that the succubi had created for their children, to help nurse them back to health. Look at the stray bits fur around their mouths! She wiped all their faces clean.

It's easy to look at Izutsumi's arc as one of finally being treated with kindness and learning to let herself give and receive love. And I do think her story is about those things, but... I think it's also about her realizing that she has always had that love & always had those feelings, she was just never in a safe place to acknowledge them.

She doesn't lack a human heart, she has two hearts. She is not a cold person who becomes kind, she is a person who needed coldness because it was not safe to be anything else. But she survived, and that survival is a form of self-love in and of itself. She wasn't alone -- because she was trying, as best she could, to take care of herself.

And it is in outwardly expressing that same love & care for the group that she's able to find safety. If it is a deeply rooted desire for the safety of a mother's embrace that the succubi were praying on, then surely it means something that at the end of the chapter...

She falls asleep.

#idk it's so hard to put into words the things these chapters make me feel #but. I do think that understanding one's own survival through traumatic events as a form of self-love #can be an incredibly kind & empowering perspective #and I really appreciate how it is handled here #she was never alone!!!!

Wait awwww omg it kinda seems like Scylla Marcille's wolf ears specifically are rounder & more curved than the ones on the rest of the wolves. They match her half-elf ears.........

#that's tooo cute stopppp

Ohhhhhh god oh my god..... Izutsumi......... 😭😭😭😭😭

#😭😭😭😭😭😭#i'm inconsolable #I want her to have amazing wonderful delicious meals ever single day for the rest of her life
