DUNGEON MESHI HEADCANON (spoilers)

I loved the comic Ryoko kui did where falin finally responds to Toshiro’s proposal. Given that, I’ve thought about it and think it would be so so cute if they kept up a penpal relationship…. He could pen her romantic pining letters and she can info dump about her life exploring and also her love with marcille!! And he’s cool with it he thinks she’s fascinating and an incredible person :) Actually let’s go all the way, I totally ship them in a poly relationship where falins main partner is marcille and then she’s also dating shuro long distance primarily through letter writing. Maybe she will visit him someday!

I actually think Toshiro really likes falin for who she is, a bug loving weirdo. He seemed to fall in love when he saw how she looked at the worm in the dungeon - i think in the beginning he had a ‘manic pixie dream girl’ unrealistic view of her for a short time, but i think he doesn’t feel that way anymore and sees her as a complex independent person! he handled the rejection really well and realized it wasn’t in her nature to get tied down. I could really see how he’s grown as much as any of the other characters from someone who couldn’t handle not doing things the proper way (he was so awkward he just proposed to her instead of trying to have the relationship progress naturally - I think he felt like that was the “proper” way to express his feelings) to someone who laughed and smiled when rejected by the girl he likes, who eventually ends up supporting the guy who caused him so much trouble bc of their communication issues. That’s huge growth! Anyways yeah I love Toshiro he grows so much through the story and also helps laios and even falin grow as they wrestle with their relationships with him (laios LITERALLY wrestling with him abt it lmao)
