#RIZZ WHO CARES ABOUT HIS FRIENDS SO MUCH THAT HE MAKES COMPLETE PLANS FOR THEM TO SUCCEED AND TAKES ON SO MUCH STRESS FOR THEM.

Ok, my long delayed post about Kabru and the Winged Lion. This does not end here, I'm adding more in a reblog.

Heavy on spoilers. Taking the extra material from @dunmeshistash who I apologise to as usual

Let's start here:

I don't care if you're a wasp you owe him 22 years of alimony

Two important takeaways here:

1) Kabru's hatred of monsters is caused not just by the Utaya catastrophe, but also from the fact that even before that, his unusual eye color was connected to monsters in local lore, and this led to ostracisation and, we can imagine, violence or at least the threat of violence towards him and his mother, serious enough that she escaped to Utaya, aka the place where the dungeon would kill her.

Kabru crucially does not place the fault for this on his father's family, but on himself for being born with 'monstrous eyes'. This is a normal way of reacting to ostracization in children, interiorising instead of projecting the trauma. It's much easier to imagine a world in which there's actually something wrong with you than one in which others might make you suffer for no reason. Monsters are also much more likely to be offered as an explanation by the adults than the actual more realistic explanations (infidelity or rape), which would not be considered appropriate.

This means that indirectly, child Kabru feels that his own 'monstrosity' is responsible for his mother moving to Utaya to protect him and ultimately dying.

2) in the Dungeon Meshi world there are specifically legends about *demon* succubi and incubi (real world lore says succubi prey on men and incubi on women and I assume that's what Laios is referring to with the distinction, but besides that lets assume theyre one and the same), distinct from the *actual monsters* succubi. The demons and monsters have a similar MO of using a person's desires to capture them, but while monster succubi suck a person's vital force, the demons supposedly use the men for their seed and the women for their womb to reproduce (again, completing dungeon meshi lore with bits of real world lore here). Laios, our local monster expert, thinks those demons are just legend. He tells us there are monsters that do use people as incubators for their eggs but I highly doubt that's Kabru's case, uncanny resemblance to a wasp notwithstanding (Laios...)

From here we go to:

Kabru's incredible rizz

This is where the tumblr search function spat in my face and ran away with the rest of my references while giggling. Oh well.

It's noted over and over in canon and extra material that Kabru is charming. More than that: Kabru *will do anything to get someone to like him*.

Worth noting that Daya and Holm *like* Kabru. This is not them disparaging an acquaintance, this is them levelling a criticism at a good friend, a criticism that seems to have been levelled at him before even ("it's no surprise...").

So, important takeaway: Kabru isn't just charming in general, he VERY SPECIFICALLY makes an effort to be charming. He needs people to like him, to trust him, and in order to obtain this, he's willing to lie and pretend.

Like with the Canaries: he needs them to trust him so they will keep him privy to their plans. So he plays up the poor innocent baby orphan angle:

And with Laios? The what (pretending to like monsters) we know, but why?

Kabru thinks Laios is the only one who can conquer the dungeon without the elves or the dwarves intervening and taking control. He is however very worried about his motivation. He wants to know why Laios is going so deep into the dungeon - beyond wanting to save his sister. What motivates him? Can he be trusted?

In the Toshiro chapters we find out that he has been trying to get in contact with him for weeks, possibly months, but this is the first time he has had a real possibility to meet him, and in order to make sure to leave a positive memory and possibly be an influence in the future, he pretends to be aligned with Laios' as much as possible, including hiding his hatred of monsters. I have written tons on this that has now been lost to tumblr like tears in the rain, but: I do not joke when I say that I think Kabru is flirting with Laios before and after the harpy egg incident. Let's be clear: Kabru's intentions are not romantic at this point. But he has noticed how lovestruck Laios was with Toshiro before their confrontation, and he's thinking, well, if I can get him to develop a similar crush on me, I can probably get him to listen to me more easily. Like I can mince words and put things in scary quotes but that's straight up what's happening. Kabru is trying to establish a close bond that wasn't there before: it might not be necessarily sexual, but it's definitely a type of seduction.

It kinda works.

The rest in a reblog because I ran out of space.

Hey guys, just finished Fantasy High Junior Year. Crying and screaming forever first of all. I take everything back abt Squeem, Squeem is great. I take back nothing abt Porter he still sucks severely. Gorgug Thistlespring you will always be famous and i love you with all my heart. Very glad the Rat Grinders got revived they have so much potential as characters and i honestly kinda love them, and it wasn't explicitly stated if Kipperlilly was or not but i hope she's getting some therapy from someone other than Jawbone. I love you so so much forever the Bad Kids

Hey guys. Started to watch Fantasy High Junior Year. First thought was: who the fuck is Squeem. Next thought, cause I'm on episode 3, Porter sucks and I want to punch him

ooo can you write some HCs for osamu please

Osamu headcanons

warnings// angstly ngl, talks of anger, feeling worth less

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i completed headcanon that he completely broke down when he told atsumu he wouldn't be going to college for volleyball

he was planning on never telling him but mama miya held him while he told atsumu

it was one of the hardest moments for him and he will never admit it to anyone but he cuddled atsumu as they cried in each others arms that night

OSAMU IS A BIG CUDDLER (he will never admit it tho)

His brother's opinion is very important to him

While in highschool he was often in Atsumu's shadow but it lead him to be a lot closer to his mom

This is where his cooking passion began

Mama miya would comfort him when he came home distressed from no one noticing him, and to take his mind of it she began baking with him

noticing baking was not his forte the two moved on to cooking

everyday in highschool osamu would make a bento for atsumu because seeing his face light up from the delicious food made his day

one day in highschool he made a girl chocolates to confess his love but she turned him down because she liked atsumu

so to this day he's slightly on edge that people only get close to him to get to atsumu

For his 25th birthday he went to go purchase the space where he would have Onigiri Miya, but panicked because he found out someone already bought it

that night on the way home to celebrate he got a call to meet atsumu

Atsumu covered Osamu's eyes a brought him to the door of what will be Onigiri Miya

The Miyas bought the space for Osamu to start his business, and they bought the apartment above the restaurant so he could live close by

Osamu first met you when you and your friends came in to watch the MSBY game at Onigiri Miya

He pretended he didn't have any feelings for the mysterious customer, but then you showed up more and more and he couldn't help but replace who was at the register when you were there and he also wanted to make sure you were getting food made specifically by him

Atsumu of course knew about his brother infatuation so he decided he would solve the problem himself

safe to say that both brothers learned that day that you do not trust Miya Atsumu

to be fair Atsumu was lowkey rizzing you up (because ofc he would) and you pushed him away and called the other Miya to take care of his brother

later that evening when Osamu was beginning to clean the restaurant up for the night he made sure to stop by your table and apologize for his brother

of course you said everything was okay but Osamu couldn't help, but be his curious self and wonder why you turned him down

i mean thats the first time he's seen a girl do that

"Osamu, you know why i come in here all the time. It's not cause the food is amazing, thats just a plus,"

"Well i thought you were coming in to get close to Atsumu-," He heard you giggle.

"no silly. I come here all the time to see you...i'm y/n"

"i know"

"ofc you do," you giggled again

certified lover boy™

i don't think i need to go into much detail about how good of a boyfriend Osamu is

But one time you made him sweets and you discovered that osamu miya LOVES sweets

his face gets all red and he's so content with life

you joked on time that he's only looking for a girl that will be like his mother and bro got really offended i mean like one time yall were cuddling and he began falling asleep and immediately stopped himself cuz he didn't want you to make a freud joke

safe to say he will always be a mama's boy. When his mom got older and needed personal care he made sure to have a place in his house for her

He wants a big family. He's always wanted his own kids so when he found out you were pregnant he was praying for triplets like a mad man

he doesn't let you do anything while your pregnant

lowkey got jealous of his own kids because you were cuddling them more then him

HE LOVES BLUEY (hes on the bluey agenda ofc)

when Osamu gets mad he gets mad. The first time you witnessed it you got really scared but your like the black widow to his hulk. You always take him away for the issue and calm him down
