#and the many scenes of laios x marcille

[unolvrs]

you'd pair marcille with laois? not falin? I'm curious about your reasoning for that (not jugementally!), because I've only ever seen people shipping falin and marcille, and it seems like those two's closeness is pretty central to dungeon meshi -- would you be willing to explain your perspective on that? no obligations to, of course, I'm simply curious because it's an opinion I've not seen before. hope you're doing well!

i get why people ship marcille with falin, especially since a lot of her motivation as the story progresses comes from falin. but at the same time, marcille and laios have more scenes that're definitely implied to be romantic, in my humble opinion — it's not shoved down our throats but it's a smooth thing that happens every now and then.

honestly, [SPOILER] ever since it was revealed that marcille was a researcher when falin was a student, and the canon ages presented in which falin was most likely a teen when they first met completely eradicated whatever ship was forming. [END]

plus, i think what bolstered the marcille x falin train was that one scene in the bathtub. but throughout the manga, we see more of marcille & laios more than anything else.

and i don't wanna compare manga readers vs anime readers but it seems like i have no choice but to do so: it's the dilemma i have with laios x kabru where, yes, people can ship whoever they want to ship but i feel very strongly about how laios and kabru's relationship is just kabru chasing laios in a way, and kabru having a more developed and AMAZING relationship with mithrun. but since kabru is a pretty boy twinky stereotype, and laios is a big guy, people naturally gravitate to it.

then there's falin and marcille, whose ship was even more popularized because of the bathtub scene at the beginning but as everything develops, it's marcille and laios who have more scenes that imply something romantic, especially at the end [SPOILER] where marcille stays with laios and their "monsters" eating each other [END]

i think more japanese fans are into marcille x laios, but western twitter is more into laios x kabru and marcille x falin. but again, this is just my opinion! PLEASE IT'S JUST MY OPINION RAHHHHHH

His Queen

Laios x F!Reader

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

King Laios, Devourer of All Things Horrible, was a humble and a good king.

He led his people with equality and respect, in return his people love and respect the king.

One day, one of his retainers asked the king when he would finally be wed and have children. This made the king feel uncomfortable and wished to change the topic. However, the rest of the retainers also asked, this made him feel pressured and told all of them.

“I am not yet ready for that!”

His retainers couldn’t let this go, so without the king’s knowledge. They all made an announcement that the king was looking for a queen. This made many regions shake in excitement, many older noblemen had let their daughters join the candidate for queen. This also led to many other species joining for the role as concubines.

When the king heard this, he was devastated when he got news of this. He argued with his retainers, who were also his friends, that he just needed time and that they didn’t need to go to such length. In the end, the king ran out from the castle yelling at his friends to not follow him.

This made the king’s sister, Princess Falin, feel worried and sorry for her brother. She told the others that her brother just needed time and not to pressure him.

“I know that he is a king now, however he is still new to all of this. Let my brother have some time to think all of this through, he was just feeling pressured from all the responsibilities.”

With that, all of them understood and realized their mistake. They all agreed that they would apologize to the king for their disrespect.

The next day, when all of the king’s retainers/friends went to his study to apologize, however, the scene they all saw was quite something. The king, who always wore a stressed out look, had a care-free smile on his face. His face was glowing with happiness.

“Um…you seem…happy, Laios.” Marcille spoke as she handed documents to King Laios.

“Hm? Oh yeah, it just feels nice today! Don’t you all think?” He cheerfully asked.

“Uh, yeah, we all feel nice today.”

He nodded his head as he started to read off the documents for today. They all look at each other wondering what made their king so happy today.

He still didn’t want to marry any of the candidates though.

-

One day, the king brought someone, a woman, and confidently said, “This woman will be the one who I will be marrying.”

When everyone heard such words from the king. The one who refused to marry any woman, the same one who brought a woman and wants to marry her. All chaos began.

It took a while to calm down his friends, but when he finally was able to calm them all. He began his explanation.

“I met her in the forest, the same day that I left the castle after the….argument.”

Laios explained that, when he met Y/N, she was with a monster. This made Falin and Marcille worry, but Laios quickly said that the monster didn’t attack her. Rather the monster was calm, tame, and they were given head scratches from Y/N.

This made Y/N explain that for some unexplainable reason, was good with monsters. Every monster wouldn’t hurt her. With that knowledge, this made Laios take interest in her, and this made him go to the forest each day after his duties as king.

After seeing each day, both started having feelings. And with the 10th meeting, Laios gave the proposal.

When both of them were finished with their explanation. The others were quiet, this made the two lovers feel worried and uncomfortable.

“Okay.” Falin continued, “I am glad that you finally met someone you love, brother.”

This made Laios cry in happiness.

And the others agreed on the couple’s wishes to be together.

-

Y/N became Laios’ Queen right after their wedding. The people were happy that their king found his partner, and his friends were also happy. But Laios was the most happy, he finally has someone he could call his queen.

Ngl this was made in a hurry and also YES! I am very much alive (surprisingly) and will probably continue making other one-shots.

quick dunmeshi thoughts now that it's been a few hours since i finished the manga:

chilchuck good. love a bitch.

i was hoping i'd have a new popular femslash ship i can write for but unfortunately the yuris are too sweet and fluffy for me. i need my sapphics to try to kill each other at least once :(

similarly: marcille did great being unhinged within the constraints of the genre but baby girl i wanna see you in a yellowjackets type setting SO BAD. set marcille free in an adult drama where she can do true atrocities. FOLDED TOO FAST GIRLIE I BELIEVE IN YOUR ABILITY TO SUCCUMB TO DARKNESSSSS DONT LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS!! DONT BELIEVE IN LOVE!!! DONT HAVE A POIGNANT MOMENT OF EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ACCEPTANCE!! DONT COME TO TERMS WITH GRIEF!!!! DONT LET THEM CONVINCE YOU NOT TO DO ATROCITIES YOU ARE SO POWERFUL AND CAPABLE OF RUINING EVERYTHING FOREVER!!!!!!

wasn't attracted to laios except for in one single scene.

it was the one where he suffocated falin.

we're not going to unpack this.

izutsumi would be a blorbo if she wasnt just straight-up me.

as is though so many of her lines are things i have directly said aloud in real life conversation that i spent the whole time going "well. this is freaking me out."

kabru is an icon. love guys who play 3d chess

come to think of it, i'm pretty sure his relationship with mithrun is the only one that had any emotional impact on me whatsoever. cunt who can't feel dick about shit x bitch who's pissed off about it 5EVAAAAA

i still default to snack packs of cheez its and goldfish crackers to replace the meals i don't wanna cook. an entire 100-chapter manga about the love of cooking and eating has done nothing to improve my outlook on cooking and eating.

sorry senshi. :(

why are so many horny falin x marcille artists drawing scenes where Laios intrudes/catches them "in the cat". It's weird and uncomfortable. Cut that shit out.
