How Can We Use Y/N?
So Iāve been watching Delicious in Dungeon, andā¦ thinking about Beastman!Y/N. Or, rather- how the party consumes them.
Maybe outright eating them is off-limits, because, you know, Y/N is still a person, and cannibalism tends to bring about some pretty nasty stuff. Marcille is hard on that stance. Sheās opened up to a lot of different foods, sure, thatās true- but sheās not eating a person! The potential for diseases and sickness is too high, no matter how you prepare the food, after all.
But eating isnāt the only way for someone or something to be consumed! Time is consumed! Energy is consumed! Labor is consumed! Products are consumed!
So what can we make out of Y/N?
Maybe youāve been fused with the soul of something like a Firefly Squid, shifting your flesh to bear a pleasing bioluminescence- and if sometimes a tentacle falls off or is chopped clean in combat? Well, Laios doesnāt really see the issue in skinning the rubbery tendril to make glow-in-the-dark hilt wraps and canteensā¦ even if his friends think that itās a little gross.
Or maybe youāre some form of Cervidae, bearing a soft, short pelt and a pair of antlers to boot, which meansā¦ youāll end up shedding at the end of the year, and the team now has a fresh set to utilize! The keratin is good for carving, especially if youāre making arrowheads or figurines. If nothing creative comes to mind, theyāre at least good for trading to orcs or kobolds.
But Iād like to think that youāre a cute little Valais Blacknose, who hasnāt quite learned to trim your own fur, so itās up to the Touden Party to take up the shears and chop those woolen locks! Chilchuck is a little estranged from his family, admittedly, but heās still a father of three, and has learned a bit about haircare in the process. Expect lots of reminders to āhold still, dammit!ā and maybe a few āoh, shitās along the way, but the Half-Foot will get you fixed up.
Once heās trimmed you into a presentably adorable little lamb, itās finally possible to walk around without tripping over your own fluff, and see without a collage of thick headbands pinned in place to hold back a storm of woolen locksā¦ and the team is left with several pounds of fluffy wool.
And team Touden does not waste resources- especially if those supplies are coming from their precious little Y/N!
So the team scrambles to find a way to use all of the floof, each one taking a portion to use in some way, at least.
Laios knows that winding his cooking ware with spun wool will only make them harder to clean, especially if blood or fat soak into the threads, and he really doesnāt want to waste such a soft part of his dear Y/N by having to throw them out over something like a minor spillā¦ which also rules out his swordās grip, because, again, wool holds nasty fluids really well. Probably heāll settle for something extremely practical that can be used many times over, like a pair of socks or gloves. Itās not impossible for the monster enthusiast to keep a handful of unprocessed fluff in his pocket, just so he has something to grab and squish during stressful or boring tripsā¦ or so he can āproveā to nearby parties/āfriendsā how soft you are. (Shuro and Kabru are on the receiving end of more than a few rants.)
Ever practical, Senshi probably makes cheesecloth from your threads, albeit over the course of several days spent knitting the yarn together. If he doesnāt have that sort of time, or maybe just not the motivation, heāll bind himself up a washcloth or two- perfect for sopping up cooking spills, or scrubbing the inside of a pan. And, now that you can actually see without constantly peeling pounds of fluff from your eyes, expect to given more tasks during cooking. Anything to keep you close and safe. Itās also very probable that heāll have you on a āBeastman-friendlyā diet comprised heavily of leafy meals and chopped veggies. Maybe heāll even scrounge up some hay, or cut and bind up some grass to have on hand for you as a snack. He wonāt even consider this strange- to Senshi, itās just the proper way to take care of someone that he obsesses over the safety of cares for.
Happy to have āmonsterā supplies that she doesnāt have to eat, Marcille binds a few of the finer threads into a set of little ribbon for her hair. I also imagine that sheād be primarily responsible for taking caring if your hair after the cut, so sheāll make a few extra in order to style yours like she styles hers. If thereās plenty extra when everyone else is done taking their share, the elf girl just might make herself a little plushy version of you to sleep withā¦ and one of Falin, too.
Divorced father of three, deft of hand Chilchuck has learned his way around a needleā¦ mostly. Itās not above him to maybe weave something nice up for his daughters, like matching bracelets. Heāll want six in total, one for him and his ex, three for his daughters, and one for you- just so everyone in the āfamilyā has a common thread to bind them. A particularly young Y/N will most likely be adopted by the Tims family at the end of their journey, providing a safe and happy (if viciously protective and smothering) space for them to grow. His daughters receive letters every now and then, each one waiting anxiously to meet the individual who is; unbeknownst to them, being propositioned as a brand new family member. Even his ex is mildly excited at the thought of someone brand new to raise, given that all her daughters are grown and moving on in the world. Maybe itās what they need to get back togetherā¦ or maybe thatās just the possessiveness talking.
And for Izutsumiā¦ she wants a new scarf. Not that she knows how to knit, or has any interest in learning, but still. The cat girl will scrounge up a hefty handful of wool and toss it into Marcilleās lap with a huff, demanding a properly knit scarf to add to her arsenal. And although sheās not exactly above whining or making threats to get her way, thereās no need- the mage is totally on board to have every member of the party decked out in the softest parts of their collective favorite member. So, Izutsumi gets her scarf, and then everyone finally has a part of Y/N to keep close and hold dear.
Not that anyone is going to start ignoring the real thing, unfortunately for you.
