#arago hunt

[yarrayora]

a meme from twitter

current favorite: shirota mahiru from servamp. where else can you have canon that textually says "actually his shounen protag heroism stems from abandonment issues and suicidal tendencies" ...probably shirou emiya from fate but if you can't handle nasuverse fanservice please try servamp

comfort character: arago hunt from arago. this one is hard because i don't really use the term 'comfort character' lol. but anyway arago is the reason i have my current group of friends so he's comforting i guess?

by design: sawada tsunayoshi from khr. after many commissions including armors from fire emblem and ffxiv i started enjoying figuring out how to draw khr's jewelries. also it's always satisfying when i managed to pull off his hair

by plot: koyama haru from jk haru is a sex worker in another world. i was tempted to draw mahiru again but haru needs more love. the plot revolves around deconstructing the usual misogynistic isekai power fantasy by narrating it through the eyes of a prostitute

guilty favorite: akashi kaoru from zettai karen children. a child of prophecy who will destroy the world because the world is a cruel place for people like her... can the bonds she creates as she grows older saves her from that lonely fate? she is also a grade schooler who loves acting like a perverted middle aged man lol.

all time favorite: jamie bennett from rotg. the alpha and omega. the origin. the reason im so into plain looking brunets.

It was the day before Mahiru's birthday.

He and his mom were at the supermarket shopping for groceries. As they passed the bakery section, Mahiru saw a cake in the display fridge. It was just simple looking cheese cake with no frosting or toppings But it looked like it would taste good, and it was cheap! So he begged his mom to get this cake for his birthday. He probably didn't notice it then, but he remembered his mom looking sorry for a short moment before finally relenting.

When they finally reached the cashier, Mahiru was bouncing off his feet. He couldn't wait to have this cake on his birthday tomorrow! But then-

"Sorry ma'am, but I'm afraid there's not enough in your card."

Mahiru didn't fully understand how 'cards' worked for adults, but he knew what 'not enough' meant. Just as his mother was fretting over the payment, he took the cake away from the cashier.

"It's ok Mom. I can just put the cake back. We don't have to buy it."

It was the obvious choice. They needed everything else, the cake was just an extra expense. He tried to ignore the looks and whispers from the other shoppers as he made his way to the bakery section.

Suddenly, the cake was lifted out of his hands. "I'll pay for the cake."

Mahiru looked up to see who it was that offered to pay. It was a man who was standing behind them in line. He had white spiky hair and green eyes. He was super tall, probably taller than Uncle Tooru.

"O-oh! You don't have to do that, sir!" His mom quickly said to the tall man.

"It's fine. I'm not really buying much for myself. I can just pay for the cake." The tall man started rubbing his ear for some reason. When Mahiru looked at the the man's basket, it was filled with instant noodles and bottled water. Even so, the man still paid for his things and the cake as well. Mahiru thought that he would just leave after that.

Except that wasn't all he did. Not only did he pay for the cake, he also helped to bring the groceries back to their apartment. As it turned out, Arago-san (he later told them to call him that) was renting the apartment right next to theirs.

Mahiru had heard about guardian spirits sent by the deities. Maybe Arago-san was one, it would explain why he was so pale.

Suddenly, Mom got a call from work. She needed to help cover a shift for one of her coworkers. And Uncle Tooru was also busy with work. Koyuki and Ryuusei were also busy that whole day, though they didn't tell him why. Which means that Mahiru was going to be home alone the whole night.

Which was fine. Mahiru's a grown boy anywa-

"I can help accompany him for the night." Arago-san suddenly volunteered.

Mahiru looked at Arago-san with wide eyes. Not even the aunties that live next door would be able to make time to take care of him. And Arago-san was willing to do it even if they've only met that day?

"A-are you sure? I wouldn't want to trouble you anymore." His mom was concerned.

"Yeah, I'm sure. As long as you can make it for Mahiru's birthday tomorrow, right?"

That day, Mahiru saw his mom show the happiest smile he had ever seen.

"You are a saint, Arago-san."

That made Arago-san's entire face go red. "G-geez, you don't have to go that far. I'm sure anyone would've done the same," he stuttered out.

Mahiru's mom chuckled. "Oh, how modest. I'm sure your parents are proud of you."

That made Arago-san look a little sad suddenly, and he started rubbing his ear again. "Yeah, I'm sure they are...." He let out a small cough. "Anyways, don't worry about it."

"I just wanted to help. That's all."

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

Mahiru was buying supplies at a local supermarket alongside Koyuki, Ryuusei and Sakuya for their school festival. They were waiting for their turn to pay as Sakuya was sharing another of his silly ghost stories (something about Hanako-san and how she lived at their school) and asking them how much of what he said was a lie. Just as Mahiru was about to smack Sakuya on the head,

"Sorry ma'am, but I'm afraid there's not enough in your card."

That caught Mahiru's attention and he turned to the front. The woman had a few groceries on the counter. To the side, her daughter seemed to be taking a set of colour pencils off the counter.

"It's ok Mama. I can put these back. We don't have to buy them."

Subconsciously, Mahiru stepped forward. "Wait, I can help pay for those."

The woman immediately interjected, "O-oh no, it's fine. You don't have to do that."

"I don't mind. I'm not buying much for myself. I can pay for the colour pencils."

Mahiru ignored the weird looks his friends were giving him as he paid for their supplies and the colour pencils. They bought quite a lot to prepare for the festival, but he was going to claim whatever amount of money he spent on the supplies from the class budget so it wasn't like he was lying.

After that, he helped the woman and her daughter to load the groceries into their car. "Oh, thank you. You really are an angel."

The comment made him blush, and he started rubbing his ear. "Don't worry about it. I just wanted to help. That's all."

As he and his friends walked back to Koyuki's house to organise their supplies, Sakuya suddenly piped up, "Hey Mahiru, why do you rub your ear at times?"

"Huh, seriously Sakuya? He's been doing that for years now!" Ryuusei shot Sakuya an incredulous look.

"I-I know that! It's just that I never thought to ask him why until now!"

"That is true, we've been seeing Mahiru doing it for years now, but I don't think we ever questioned it," Koyuki added.

All three of them stopped walking and looked at Mahiru hoping to get an answer. He just sighed and said, "It's not some grand story or anything. I just accidentally picked it up from one of my neighbours. You guys know him."

"Oh, you mean the gaijin from England?" Ryuusei asked as the four of them continued walking.

"Who...?"

"Don't you remember him Sakuya? He accompanied Mahiru while we were planning his birthday surprise."

"Uuummm... oh! Yeah, that's right Koyuki. Shit, I'm sorry Mahiru, for not being there for you when you were alone."

Mahiru sighed. "It's fine Sakuya. I know you guys were just trying to make my birthday more fun that year."

"Anyways, Arago-san helped to take care of me whenever Mom or Uncle Tooru was too busy for about a month before he had to go back to England to deal with something. Must've picked it up from him during that time."

Everyone hummed in agreement before Sakuya started speaking. "Y'know Mahiru. You could've met an angel."

"....Is this another one of your jokes, Sakuya?"

"Wait, wait, hear me out first! They say that each child is blessed with two guardian angels to guide them through life. When the child is going through hardship, one of them would appear to the child in a form that is most welcoming. The angel would help to care for the child until they believe the child is in a good situation and then leave to return to their post."

Everyone went silent at Sakuya's words. Mahiru thought about how Arago-san went beyond the kindness one would normally show a stranger. Maybe angel was a bet-

"Now who wants to guess how much of what I said was a lie?"

"Ow! Hey! Mahiru! You didn't need to hit me that hard!"

“Yes, I am Arago Lugh.” And even though the man did not directly answer his question, it was obvious that he was the saint that he was looking for. He was glad that saints wore armour since it was easier to find him. “Good thing that I found you. I am not bad with directions but I can’t seem to find where the Sanctuary is. Since you are my guide…” Or escort. “I guess I don’t have to worry anymore.”

As he was talking, he couldn’t help but stare at the basket of food that was in the saint’s arms. Fresh fruits… he hoped they were not for him. He couldn’t handle eating fresh food…  

“The head priestess could not be here as she is busy with other matters and sent me here on her behalf.”

He wished Connor could have sent someone else. He was not good at politics. His skills were of a fighter but Connor told him that if he wanted to help the Lugh clan, he would need to be good at politics and making alliances. Fortunately, for him, the Sanctuary was already an ally with the Lugh Clan.  

[arcgeminga]

Arago was only here for few minutes and he was already lost… Where was the entrance of the Sanctuary again? Where was he supposed to meet his guide? He was told that his guide was a saint named Aspros, whoever, that person was. He was kind of glad it was not Regulus. He liked the boy and so did his cousin. It was just the boy’s cosmos was too bright for his liking which was ironic coming from someone who was in the Lugh clan. He spotted a man in gold armour and decided there was no harm in asking. “Hi, can you tell me where I can find a saint named Aspros?… Gemini Aspros, I believe.”

♕┊ Aspros was directed to go just outside of Sanctuary to fetch a guest from Ireland. It wasn't uncommon for Sanctuary to receive guests, so long as said people were expected and escorted in by high officials.

Sanctuary's entrance was, for the most part, very obscure. Hidden within the mountain range just outside of Athens. Innocent travelers would most likely skip Sanctuary by accident. After all, the powerful, ancient barrier around the location made Sanctuary adopt an avoidance characteristic to non-citizens -- evading outsiders with illusionary pathways that lead past the ancient militant metropolis.

He was instructed to meet the person in a small outpost town at the foot of Hymettus. The town was already acquainted with Sanctuary and even benefited from the amicable relations with the confidential city-state. It wasn't Rodorio. Rodorio was a village within Sanctuary -- a safe space for the growing families of Saints. Since this small town had frequent visitors from Sanctuary, none of the citizens batted an eye in confusion when the man donned in full, golden armor walked down the street.

Aspros made a very quick pitstop at a produce shop. After all, Defteros had asked to bring back something. If it was to humor his brother, then so be it. The Gemini Saint made a quick purchase of some figs, cherries, and apples. Just as the Gold Saint was gathering the basket of fruits in his arms, a person with silver hair and a scar between his brows approached him.

♕┊ "..." Aspros stared at the stranger. His immediate thought was, 'who the fuck is this to be asking around for me?'

...then he realized, oh, perhaps he got too carried away in the pleasant conversation with the very handsome shopkeeper. He momentarily forgot that he was on escort duty.

"I take it you're the visitor?" Aspros finally kicked himself into replying after he took a good look at the person. Testing the waters still, he continued with an amicable front while carefully evaluating the other. "Argos... wait, no. Arago Lugh?"

my arago/cdf crossover just ended up with giving baby steve hatred towards Alpha Male types because his mom ran away from home and mr leonard ended up forced to be steve's primary caretaker and i think a lot about cycle of abuse and how steve is one timeline away from growing up into his father

Dude, Steve practically is his father in a lot of my fics. Like, he full on hates his dad, but I made him mantle a lot of ‘alpha male’ tendencies as this mask for feeling rejected.

It’s hard to break the cycle of abuse when you’re not fully aware of what it actually is. Steve understands that what happened in his family life wasn’t right, but he can’t stop the violent tendencies or the brash, angry outbursts.

But, also, I like how both of us instilled this hatred in Steve that stemmed from his father despite being two very different AUs. Never would’ve described it as ‘alpha male,’ but by God that is totally it.

For a second Ichigo thinks she’s going to fight him on this, but after a second of thoughtful silence, Tatsuki finally pulls back with a sigh. “Fine. But I get to ask any question, and you gotta answer.”

“Yeah, yeah.” 

“And I want to meet this secret teacher of yours.”

“Yeah, sure,” Ichigo starts to say, but then the words register and he whips back around again. “What, what?”

“I said--”

“I heard you. You’re not meeting him.” 

“Oh yes, I am.”

“No,” Ichigo says forcibly. “You’re not.” A pause, and then he adds, pointedly, “Even if you ask he probably won’t teach you anyway.”

Tatsuki rolls her eyes at him, and pulls her own backpack up high on one bony shoulder. “Whatever. We’ll see. Bye, Ichigo.”

how about your personal favorite? How would arago be rated in the dunmeshi world?

"would my favorite characters from different fandom be considered fuckable by people in dungeon meshi universe?" featuring arago hunt

there are certain features about the hunt twins that immediately made tallmen think "huh that's a really buff elf" while elves think "holy shit that's a REALLY ugly elf" until they realize behind those fluffy hair are completely rounded ears and immediately adjust their mindset and think of him as a half-elf (he is not).

beautiful to tallmen, the facial scar isn't really something they would be bothered with in dunmeshi setting unlike in modern day setting. dwarves also think he's ugly but unlike elves who think he's "not elfy enough" it's because he's "too elfy". again, not really much to look at for gnomes, half-foots, kobolds, and orcs.

he doesn't really have a special characteristic that would make him attractive outside of his looks be it his personality or his power. if anything his power is a huge turn off because it's basically a curse since he doesn't know how to control it. to get into that gooey and warm kindness beyond his rough exterior people need to spend a lot of time with him to find it.

at the very least, children consider him a 'cool adult'.

ARAGO HUNT IS LARGELY UNFUCKABLE IN DUNMESHI UNIVERSE

"Are you lost, little one?" - columbina / arago 

Arago was startled when he suddenly heard the woman spoke. He didn’t see her there as he was too focussed on trying to figure out where he was. He didn’t like she called him little one. Not only that, there was something about her that his instincts were telling him that she was dangerous.

“Don’t you think I am too old to be called little one? But yes, unfortunately, I am lost. Do you know where I am right now and the quickest path to the closest inn?”
