laios' absolute devastation when he learns he can't eat metal 🤝 my cat when I tell him he can't eat plastic

[pacing] some people like characterizing far/cille as Dark Twisted Yuri because of the resurrection (not super accurate imo) or as Wholesome Yuri (super super inaccurate imo). what I think is that a) the most in-character far/cille requires at least one (1) divorce arc, b) the most in-character far/cille needs marcille being clueless about OR actively rejecting her own feelings and doing some massive misconstruing/projecting/etc (hence the need for a divorce arc) and doubling down on infantilizing and Taking Care of falin when falin begins to surpass marcille in maturity, which can only be resolved by falin actually calling marcille out for that (especially if marcille is going weirdly hard on the ‘she’s like a little sister to me!’ brand of denial for their omnipresent UST). post-canon falin needs enough development to reject (rather than accept) what she doesn’t want and she needs to not be solely focused on others, post-canon marcille has the development to course-correct rather than continue doubling down but does need that wake-up divorce before they can actually progress towards a functional romance… those are my thoughts

You know, the Marcille and Wei Wuxian similarities aren't exactly zero

hey i've now read dungeon meshi and i vaguely recall you mentioning aro chilchuck and i would like to say. You're So Right. i see the vision for sure

Uh, I was told about sapphic subtext.

A couple naked girls feeling each other up in an eroticized bath scene is pretty textual if you ask me.

Starting over cuz the thread was getting too long. Please block the #dmlb tag if you don't want to see this

Anyway thoughts on 18!! Shapeshifters are always fun to write, this approach was especially interesting. I tried to solve it alongside the characters and was mostly right (Marcille confused me, Senshi and Chil were p obvious) Love how the real Laios was determined right away. Also his barking was 👌👌👌

And the catgirl at the end!! At least I think that's her. I keep seeing cool fan art of her, glad I'll get to meet her soon ^^

just learned that the latin verb "to think over; brood upon" is used in medieval anglo-latin almost exclusively to refer to the devil and/or having illicit sex. MUCH to think about

I think the biggest mischaracterization of marcille is when people make her horny for chimera falin. marcille just isn’t a monsterfucker. it’s one of her most tragic flaws. this is spoilers, but I truly believe her initial reaction to falin post true resurrection would be ‘it’s a shame she still has those feathers…’ (but I think she could turn around on it if she sees falin enjoying them and get neutral to positive on them)
