#I care about them a lot

[veveisveryuncool]

god created me for one thing and that is to pour my life into this mega-obscure ship that i will not stop posting about until it becomes a legitimate ship

#this is very rushed im sorry #i care about them a lot #they are like school children who are dating and think theyre going to be together forever #and then they do #also this plasma wisp is nonbinary and elline beats up anyone who says otherwise #i need to mention that #kirby series #elline kirby #plasma wisp #plasmalline #blorbo x blingus

Eloise gently lifts him off the ground and settles him into her lap.

"Look, there's your little face," she says. There's a smile in her voice as she leans over him, and the fuzz in his head spreads, warm, comforting, "what a sight."

He tilts his head up to look, again, at his gravestone, but then Eloise gently strokes his feathers and he melts, suddenly engulfed entirely by the safety (and maybe even the hope) that Eloise brought when she arrived.

"It's the man you once were. Gone!" she's saying. He closes his eyes, soaking in the wonderful feeling of being pet. It's a feeling he's never cared for before- never a fan of getting his back rubbed or his hair tousled. This is the chicken brain, one hundred percent, and he never wants it to end.

"For another couple minutes, then it's back."

She's still smiling. Still petting him. All the stress of dying leaks out of him as she does, the memory of choking on lava fades into something that feels manageable.

"I didn't expect you to be so cuddly," Eloise says, gentle. "You're a sweet little guy."

Damijon?

this has been sitting in my inbox for ages here is my attempt at damijon headcanons

when together both of their iqs are halved

if they ever have a sappy or intimate moment it's immediately "ruined" by one of them being. Jon or Damian

"well yeah i care about you" / "lmao you have feeelingsssss" / "i'm never being nice to you ever again actually"

they are besties first and foremost

obsessed with jon being the person that helps damian open up to people emotionally. the first time some of the batfamily sees him smile - that natural, giddy, having a good time with my friends smile - is when jon is around and it's not even like. an earth shattering moment. it's just jon saying smth dumb, damian snickering and saying smth dumb in return and it's like WOAH. teenage boys.

damian goes to jon with "people" questions because he worries his brothers will make fun of him (and usually it's his brothers he's asking questions about) but jon sits there and rlly thinks about it and gives him the best answer he can come up with

-vague hand gesture- they both struggle with their humanity - jon because he's, yk, an alien and damian because he wasn't rlly. raised to be human, at least sometimes it feels like it - and they end up bonding over that a lot.

jon feels too much and damian feels too little (hyper empathy and lack of empathy) and they help balance each other out. not just with empathy either - they'll stop the other from doing something dumb or keep the other in check. most of the time. often times they enable the others dumb ideas.

damian feels like he can be a kid and not worry about being taken seriously around jon and jon feels like he can be treated seriously around damian etc etc

LISTEN MAN. LISTEN. it's them balancing each other out by being opposites but at their core they both are just two kids finding their place in the world idk

#damijon #damian wayne #jon kent #i care about them a lot #hope u enjoyed :)

But he doesn't realize it, he thinks he is the same as everyone. How stupid. The stars in the nightsky are beautiful because we look at them from afar.

That night I saw you crying, I fell in love.

I’ve been having a lot of emotions lately about descendants au streddie more specifically the fact that the Isle of the Lost literally acts as Auradon’s trash dump so there’s a non zero chance all three of them could have shared a sweater before they even met Richie

(And also I’ve been having a lot of emotions about quite how differently Richie was growing up compared to them and their three distinct class differences and how that would impact their relationship but that’s a whole other thing)

#descendants au #mostly I just like Eddie being a slightly feral little rich girl like a Pomeranian almost #I care about them a lot #twocifer legally must be in all descendants arts #please appreciate the lil Dalmatian it’s the only good dog I’ve ever drawn #fem streddie #hey British Stan fuck it up say jumper ur so Not From Maine rn #my art :)

What if Sarah Marie was so annoyed with all her feelings toward Mischa that she wrote them down in a diary page, but also she had a habit of leaving her diary open and he finds it on the page labeled

MISCHA BACHINSKI: DO I LOVE HIM? APPARENTLY.

and the whole page is filled with her trying to understand her feelings and deal with them and then she starts talking about all the things he does that make her heart flutter. How much she likes him and just what she loves about him.

"mithrun is the only real monsterfucker in dungeon meshi" is objectively the funniest bit you can get out of his everything, but in all seriousness i think his attraction to his love interest is deliberately overstated—and that makes sense, because romantic jealousy is a classic and digestible motive, which is explicitly what kabru was aiming for in condensing mithrun's backstory, and also because until chapter 94, mithrun wasn't willing to admit to the true nature of his desires.

but because romantic envy is both classic and digestible, it probably isn’t a unique enough or complicated enough desire to tempt a demon’s appetite. mithrun’s wish, as far as we can figure from kabru’s reduced retelling, was to have a life in which he had never become one of the canaries, and that carries like 3857 implications and desires within it. that’s delicious. his love interest acts as sort of a red herring to his motivation for making it, though. (side note: i'm saying "love interest" here because, keeping in mind that i barely speak japanese on a good day anymore, "想い人" is something i'd usually take as just kind of an old-fashioned and romantic way to refer to a lover, but in context i wonder if both the connotation of yearning and the vagueness are intentional, and i think this phrasing gets those aspects of it more effectively. anyway.)

mithrun considered his love interest to be untrustworthy. there was a minute where i thought that comment might be about a similar-looking elf (yugin, one of his squad members), but comparing the two…

the "sketchy" arrow is definitely referring to the elf we know as his love interest—the bangs go toward her right, she only has the one forehead ornament, and, most notably, her ears aren't notched.

every time she’s given a full-body depiction in his dungeon, she’s drawn as a chimera, with the body of a snake from the waist down. (side note: the “what if a dungeon has chimeras before reaching level 4?”/“then the dungeon lord is unstable” exchange just being mithrun grilling his past self alive is so funny. he’s so. but anyway) there are a couple things about this.

first, the snake part of the chimera appears to be modeled after some species of coral snake mimic

which, in the biology-for-fun manga, i… doubt is a coincidence, especially with the added context of the “untrustworthy” comment. the dungeon’s conjured illusion of mithrun’s love interest was a harmless copycat of a venomous original. for whatever reason, he felt this person was a threat and made up a "safe" version of her to be in a relationship with, and while it’s definitely possible to be attracted to or even love someone you find to be toxic and/or intimidating, when you take that into consideration alongside the configuration of her body, you get some interesting implications.

which brings us to our second point: if we assume that mithrun was not in fact fucking a snake, then sexual attraction, at least, was so far removed from his idea of a relationship with this person that he did not even bother to keep her dungeon copy human enough to maintain the illusion of the option of a sexual relationship. this is somewhat echoed in the depictions of their interactions, which also imply a frankly unexpected romantic distance. she kisses his cheek and he doesn't seem to react; she's at the edge of a narrow bed with only one set of pillows, on top of his blankets while he's underneath them.

the kiss is particularly interesting because it seems to contrast the text. kabru's narration tells us this was everything mithrun could have asked for, but mithrun is there looking unreadable to pensive, likely because this is right before the panel that makes it clear things in the dungeon are beginning to go wrong.

walking through this backwards for a minute, we have the physical barrier of his bedding and the spatial separation inherent in a bed made for one person, the emotional barrier of his mounting anxiety getting in the way of his ability to enjoy the affection he sought, and... the snake, which historically carries the connotation of temptation, yes, but also mistrust, barring physical intimacy. okay. ok. if a dungeon reflects the mentality of its lord, all of this might suggest that mithrun was not able to have any real desire for a relationship with this person. his unwillingness to be vulnerable or let another person in was insurmountable. but in that case, why was she such a focal point that she remained to the end, after his dungeon had stopped creating iterations of his friends to come and visit him? why would he get so upset over her meeting with his brother that he became lord of a dungeon about it?

well. mithrun's brother was also interested in her, probably genuinely. and mithrun had to win.

you have an older brother who your parents completely ignore, probably in part because he is chronically ill/disabled and almost definitely in part because he received a ton of recessive traits that resulted in rumors that he was an illegitimate child. you are aware, most likely because those same parents fucking told you, that you actually are an illegitimate child. but they keep you around because you had the good fortune of looking just like your mother. what can that possibly teach you but that you, like your brother, are disposable?

it's utterly unsurprising that mithrun, under these circumstances, developed a pathological need to be better than everyone around him. people don't keep you otherwise. i'd argue this is also why he says he looked down on everyone he knew while milsiril claims his dungeon reeked of feelings of inferiority—he sought out people's worst traits and prioritized them in his mind to protect his already extremely fragile sense of self-worth, and all the while he tried to be as likable and high-performing as he possibly could be. his parents disposed of him anyway, but even then he tried to keep up the performance. he was kind to everyone. he never once lost to a dungeon.

when he saw his "love interest" meeting up with his brother, what he saw was himself being replaced by a person his parents had always treated as worthless, and if that was what they thought of the child they'd kept, what value could anyone possibly see in the bastard they'd given away to die? mithrun and kabru tell the story like he wanted to win this unnamed elf's heart, but it was never about being with her. it was about cementing his worth, proving that he didn't deserve to be thrown away.

and so it's particularly cruel that his demon discarded him, too. but maybe it's also particularly gentle that, in the end, there was someone who refused to even consider giving up on him.

kui laid it out in three panels better than i could hope to.

yeah. it's love. you wanted to be loved, even when the only way you were able to understand it was through the desire to be wanted, and you wanted that so badly that the idea of being consumed felt like the promise of finally mattering to someone.

#dungeon meshi spoilers #mithrun #dungeon meshi #this has been rotating for a while but i wanted to check my evidence before getting into it thanks user angelspenance for posting that meme #half of this is just the text and the other half i'm sure has been said before but it's making my brain [radio static] so here this is #someone did for sure mention this but i do find it very cute that in his fucked up conjured world meant to portray his ideal reality #his teammates came to visit him. like part of the fantasy was then explicitly that they cared about him and were his friends. even though #he says he tried to see the worst in them. #hm it does feel important to note that i do also believe 100% in mithrun suicidality--his desire to be eaten does seem to focus a lot on #wanting it to be Over. wanting not to be left incomplete and empty anymore. #but that loops back around a bit to the hole in your heart that appears when you feel unloved. it's many things and the same thing at once #snakes #long post #severe problems #meshy

forever thinking about how marcille and laios have such a richly weird and funny friendship dynamic that people I see tend to write off as "god she hates his ass" but in reality it's the frustration of one neurodivergent weirdgirl to another neurodivergent weirdboy who has no concept of masking, has never had to mask, and simply doesn't know how to mask making their entire group come across as "the weirdo freaks" despite her best efforts to not be labelled as "weird" probably her entire life

#dungeon meshi #do not spoil me I havent read the manga yet I just. I care so much #I care so much about the friendship bonds of their entire group and them especially #marcille #laios #she adopted him as a sibling and doesnt even know it. thats her dumbass brother now and she doesnt realize she chose this #but thats literally how she treats him. the aggression is out of self preservation and a specific kind of distress #when he's not being quote unquote weird she respects him a lot. ugh. ugh. ugh. taking damage
