How to Love a Crybaby Monster - By Inumaru (8/10)

Fake cuteness can be grating, annoying...and disarming. This cute monster is silly and devoted, but that doesn’t mean he's stupid. Our protagonist has been lured into a false sense of complacency. She's so wrapped up in cuteness she's forgotten about an entire village full of frozen corpses. It wasn't his fault! Isn't it only natural to feel bad for a tragic monster? That's what kind ladies do!

Mirisu is much beloved and spoiled, and coincidentally she wasn't before her brother came into her life.

She was born to be nothing but a marriage chess piece. In this world having magic beats gender. If you're a woman with firepower everybody respects you and you immediately become a noble lady with special privileges. On the flip side if you're the daughter of a magical couple......and you're born without magic....you're a dowry and nothing more. You have to sit and watch as the magical ladies get all the praise and riches, while you wash your pretty face and wait for a less important man to buy you.

It's an extra cruel setting I think.

Shitty traditional womanhood and marriage for thee, not for me.

Mirisu found a boy named Darryl on top of a mountain, steps away from a village of frozen corpses. It is the most useful thing Mirisu has ever done. Her parents immediately adopt Darryl, and now their family is perfect. They plan to make Darryl their heir and tool to further expand their power, while Mirisu's budding beauty will provide them more money.

The kids get along great too!

Darryl is scary to most, because his ice powers are hard to control. His emotions activate them. Hugging and touching Mirisu calms him down because they're close. He feels pretty much nothing for his adopted parents, because they're so heartless. Their closeness makes alot of sense. Considering the fact that Mirisu is treated as second class, and Darryl isolated himself for a long time.

He's a good liar because he's not faking. It's more like he's overexaggerating. He loves Mirisu romantically, but he wants her to smother him with cute love in between brutal border defense fights. Mirisu is weak to his cute little brother act because he's the only real family she has ever had, and he takes advantage of that.

Mirisu wants what's best for him. His magical sealing tool isn't perfect. She wants him to mature and control his emotions and marry a perfect magic lady someday.

She plans a fake marriage with Alan, her childhood friend, in order to distance herself from Darryl.

Her plan fails and Darryl eventually spills the truth.

He's been able to control his ice powers for a long time now.

He just wanted Mirisu to cuddle him!

Teehee!

Also he's going to kill her fiance if she doesn't call it off.

She agrees quickly.

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐮𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭...

(bf!ajax petropolus edition)

is one of THE biggest nervous wrecks at first—he tries so hard to act cool, but he always ends up tripping over his words or saying something awkward

constantly talks about you to enid or xavier or even wednesday sometimes (we ALL know how she feels about this) without realizing how obvious he is

if you fell asleep on him, he wouldn’t move a muscle, even if his arm goes numb.

is almost always given away by his snakes; yes he has a beanie, but if you look and listen closely, you can see them twitch, hiss, or even peek out to sneak a glance

loves simple dates! like treating you to coffee at the weathervane, late-night walks, stargazing on campus lawns... etc.

remembers small things you like and surprises you with them :)

overthinks. (he's a really bad texter guys) there will be a time in the day when he's glued to the phone, rereading a text at least 20 times before sending it

...also re-reads your replies in the same count.

if you’re cold, will wordlessly hand you his hoodie! obviously lets you keep it but then proceeds to later whine dramatically about how cold he is, just so you’ll cuddle him

..which by the way, he absolutely YEARNS for!!! literally melts when you touch his hair or let the snakes rest against you too—they like you as much as he does <3

doodles you or your name next to his in the margins of his notebooks during class, then panics if you catch him

has a nervous laugh vs. real laugh: you learn the difference quickly.

is insecure about being a gorgon :( worries you’ll see him as dangerous. so you reassuring him means everything!

ADORES physical affection.. in small doses! pinky linking, brushing your hand, leaning against you while walking

is the biggest hype-man!!! always hypes you up even if he’s doubting himself :)

gets jealous easily but tries to play it cool. meanwhile of course, his snakes do not play it cool

gives you compliments out of nowhere like it's second nature, but inside he's immediately regretting how blunt or stupid it probably sounded

before holding your hand, he wipes his palm on his jeans like three times to make sure it’s not sweaty

would rather hang out with you one-on-one, doing nothing, than in a big group, doing everything :)

overall loves you in the little ways—nervous, clumsy, but always profound. with him, every awkward stumble is proof of how much he cares 🫶🏼

of course it was this man who made me want to slowly crawl out of my writing slump... ANYWAYS!
