#marcille deer

[flyingsnake0]

This anime is super fun

[caffeinerabbit]

For this Halloween, Daphne's going as Marcille from Delicious in Dungeon! Gotta show that Blonde solidarity.

Created for a Cosplay Collab on Discord!

[dismas-n-dismay]

I've been dreaming of Marcille as a deer satyr/centaur for the longest time because her and Falin deserve to be monster gfs together

Also Marcille being a prey based animal and Falin constantly chasing and pouncing on her for fun would save me I think

[turochamp]

Dungeon Meshi, but animals. Featuring Lios' (heh) party.

Laios is a lion, because I think it fits, as I said on my previous post.

Marcille is a deer (fallow?) because of how delicate they look, and the ears.

Senshi is a (american) badger, because they're good diggers and tanky little fellas.

And Chilchuk is a Gambian pouched rat, because they can be trained to sniff out land mines, and safely, since they're too light to trigger them.

Oh, yeah, and Izutsumi is a girl cat. (I initially didn't plan to have her here, but since she'll be appearing soon, I decided to add her. The thing is, I'm not sure she would resist pouncing on Chilchuk, so it might be better to let her nap while they walk.)

Ah, and while thinking about what they could be talking about, I remembered the onion soup I just ate, and when I tried to think about a monster that could be like an onion, I could just think about ogres... (because, as you might remember, they have layers. Like an onion)

But, since an ogre like Shrek would be a demihuman, I imagined the monster in question as a kind of swamp golem or something...

[j4mergy]

Isekai-ed reader who is childhood friends with the Touden siblings and joined them to move into The Island together. Reader who realised they got reincarnated into Dungeon Meshi instantly got to work to improve in aspects of fighting and magic, not as good as Falin or Marcille but good enough to cast healing spells and small offensive ones without them.

Reader, who before the main story starts constantly strays from Laios's party during their adventures to try and catch a glimpse of Senshi whenever they could. When the party rested on the third floor, Reader volunteered to take night watch to sneak away and found Senshi harvesting vegetables from destroyed golems.

Senshi who got caught off guard was staring at Reader like a deer in headlights. Both stood frozen and locked in a staring contest together.

In truth, throughout Reader's attempt at seeking the dwarf out, Senshi was almost caught a lot of times but slipped away the last second. Senshi became intimidated by Reader's presence because they looked like a predator seeking out prey, that prey being him. It doesn’t help that he's starting to suspect that they were deliberately looking for him.

When he confesses this all to Reader, they clumsily make an excuse that they have sharp senses and became suspicious because they thought something or someone was lurking in the shadows and wanted to investigate on their own before alreting their party.

Senshi didn't really believe them at first but just assumed it's one of the many skills an adventurer should have, especially in a dungeon where monsters lurk and traps are hidden from the naked eye.

Reader then asked the dwarf what he was up to, even though they already knew it was more realistic to ask as they were a stranger to Senshi. In true Senshi fashion, he casually explains his way of growing vegetables for food through disabling golems without breaking the cores, planting seeds in the dirt that was its body, then putting the cores back in the dirt thus reviving the golems, either unaware or just seemingly indifferent to how ridiculous and crazy his methods are to normal people.

Although Reader already saw this all happen in the show, it was a completely different experience seeing it in person. Their favorite character explaining the most creative concept known in fantasy media to their face was an awesome experience.

Without hesitation, they enthusiastically asked Senshi if they could garden with him. Looking at the dwarf with nothing but sheer excitement and admiration in their eyes. Senshi was surprised at the sudden request, especially when the person who requested that used to look like a dangerous predator seeking their prey now looks like an eager child willing to learn from their teacher.

Senshi smiled at Reader and affectionately patted their head, his perception of them instantly changing and patiently taught them everything they needed to know about and do when it comes to gardening with golems.

Time passed and Reader was so immersed in their time with Senshi that they forgot they were supposed to keep watch while their party was sleeping. They got reminded though when they heard Chilchuck and Namari's voice echoing through the halls of the dungeon calling out their name, making them jump and hurriedly apologised to Senshi that they had to go and reunite with their party. Senshi waved them off and patted their head once more, encouraging them to go, but not without giving them a basket full of vegetables for their party on the way.

Reader shyly rubbed the top of their head before thanking him profusely. They promised Senshi that they will meet again before running off to where the party was, with a basket of vegetables in hand and a dopey smile on their face. They were gonna get a good scolding from the most mature one in the party for accepting random vegetables from a stranger without revealing the actual origins of it.

And Senshi, who have lived a fairly unconventional lifestyle in the dungeon was looking forward to connect with another human being after being alone for so long. Perhaps they'd be interested in monster cooking too.

This was inspired by someone's post about reader getting isekaid in dungeon meshi. I forgot their name and how to find the post cause I'm still having trouble navigating with tumblr. So if any of you could find it, I'd really appreciate it so I can tag appropriately 🙏

This is a mess. I can't tell if I wrote a scenario or imagine but whatever ig??? I'm not exactly a writer either soo...

Edit: here it is! By @pomegranatesandtangerines. finally found it, pls like and reblog their posts!

[dailynoodlezz24]

I've drawn Marcille with the idea of her being a deer/elk as a chimera, that's also based off of her dungeon lord outfit, but then a goat appealed to me and it makes a LOT more sense. An animal often sacrificed, but could also be the one who is sacrificed to. In a way Marcille used herself as a goat reviving Falin, and yada yada-- I think this is going somewhere. Mithrun would go apeshit, no doubt. But I love doomed yuri, love it a bunch, so a pheonix is such an interesting choice because I already have a sad little intricate plot in my head with it in mind

A really old and really silly sketch, but I found bells on the types of animals who are known to be quiet are a fitting design

The goat one is quite literally the deer draft but with meaner horns and coined pupils. Both were based off of her dungeon lord outfit since: fluffy. But bruh?? I don't have creativity stores-- all depleted. Gone. Ate it all the night I came home with wrapping paper and a sword gilded sword(with sword prints ON the prints)

Now I got a WHOLE doc just for this one; see that flying serpent right in the corner? Took the multi wings and tail frizzle(it doesn't have that, but I didn't want to add a pair of pings on a tail) right from it. I had THOUGHTS and IDEAS

basic idea: she's got a LOT of new stuff only to be hindered by it because her body is NOT built to do the things it does. Her human half is still as flammable as it can get, which would be "compensated" by Phoenixes defining trait: resurrection Plays WELL with how destructive Marcille is, both to herself and foes And here are weeks OLD doodles that have marinated in my brain juice

[tanoraqui]

Dungeon Meshi Liveblog: "What did [orcs] taste like?" {*distant sounds of tanoraqui going feral*}

I'm enjoying Chilchuck more in the manga because I notice him more, because he's less front-and-center talkative but in the background he's visibly thinking about things. I certainly noticed and enjoyed this moment in the anime, too, but it's a good example: Chilchuck is by far the best in this party at people, in terms of reading a room, understanding long-term group dynamics, and considering larger social questions like morality. His pattern recognition skills are obviously superb, and he applies them to dungeon navigation, trap- and monster-disarming, and social dynamics. He understands and gives practical advice on the relationships within a successful vs unsuccessful dungeon parties, and the skills of leaders thereof. He can often be seen eyeing the terrible new food consideringly before eating it. He's the one most often calling Laios out about No Eating Humanoids, including picking up on the fishmen eggs. When Laios complains that that's just based on a "feeling", Chilchuck does think about it - but still, when Marcille says of the dryads that maybe it doesn't matter if the plant is humanoid, Chilchuck says with concern, "Marcille..." He's the first to wonder how to make money from the dragon, but it's a practical concern, not greed. He's the only who realizes and convinces everyone that they have to turn back.

It all adds up to a guy who's never read a textbook of moral philosophy or the makings of a stable society in his life, but who could probably expound on them in layman's terms while drunk off his ass in a bar. He's responsible, including wanting to look out for his people, and very practical, and genuinely whip-smart. I'm not at ALL surprised to learn that he observed the systemic abuse of halffeet in the dungeon-delving trade and organized a union against it.

.

Shuro: Just say the highlights, alright?

Laios: We killed the red dragon, got Falin out of its stomach and resurrected her, but then we ran into the Mad Mage ad were separated.

Shuro and Kabru:

...actually, it's interesting how surprised I am, and was when I watched this, to see how...Normal Human Interaction Laios is in this moment? Upon request, he handily gave an efficient summary of exactly the highlights that needed to be shared - both what the others needed/would want to know, and not what they didn't need to know, lest Marcille be arrested for dark magic. Is he more relaxed around his usual crew, and thus acts "weirder"? Is this just a very specific circumstance, ie, it's reasonable to think the whole party has been considering exactly how to describe their adventures to others?

Maybe more notably, he left out monster-eating, which is also a cultural taboo but one that he's shown no sign of respecting so far. One must ask, for a moment: wait, does he respect that it's taboo in polite company? It's true that Marcille and Chilchuck, who'd both dungeoned with him for [mumblemumbletime], didn't know until the start of the story - he's clearly only just started unleashing all this culinary glee, even if he probably did already share infinite useful monster(-killing) factoids. Or is he aware and respectful of the fact that Shuro's definitely of "highlights" definitely only includes What Happened To Falin? This, too, is a level of character insight rarely if ever seen in Laios before.

.

Laios is like a deer in front of a lion... Yeah maybe I do want to watch Kabru flirt with him and Laios get completely flustered... Only if Laios turns it around by (later, after fleeing the initial scene) bluntly asking if Kabru wants to go on a date and/or have sex, and Kabru.exe stops functioning.

.

One must ask, for a moment: wait, does [Laios] respect that [eating monsters is] taboo in polite company? -my considerations 10 seconds ago in in-canon time

nvm, he's back on his bullshit! :) <3

Which! Indicates that his summary WAS intentionally geared toward Shuro's known preference, with maybe a dash of responsible dungeoneer team leader-to-team leader "fyi the Mage IS around"!

.

Ok now for the bit I'm particularly obsessed with...

Shown: man forcibly slamming down an impenetrable mental barrier called "Doing What I Must" in between Traumatic Memories & Moral Qualms and Words, Tone, Facial Expressions, Body Language & Anything Else Someone Else Could Sense:

Shown: Man with aforementioned barrier firmly in place [but still possibly seeing horrors on the backs of his eyelids]:

(Also shown: Man increasingly wishing that this is all some sort of elaborate hallucination brought on by sleep deprivation and stress:

.

Then this!

Until proven otherwise, I'm pretty certain that this last panel is the exact moment Kabru's brain started bouncing like a yo-yo wrt Laios. Because!

Kabru invited himself into this conversation as part of his overall quest: to look for a decent King for the dungeon. [ABBA playing faintly in the background] He's officially given up "finding" rather than "becoming", but he hasn't 100% ruled it out as an option - the goal is to get one.

Imagine that Kabru's brain includes a little hexagon like the food matrix, but for necessary aspects of the new King of the Golden Kingdom. In order, Laios goes...

- up several notches in "Likely Ability to Kill Mad Mage" by having defeated the red dragon and met the Mage

- down probably 1 notch in Trustworthiness/Honesty(/Readability to Kabru Specifically, who is prepared to Manage a mediocre candidate if that's what it takes)

- plunges down in the meta-category of Will Prevent Another Utaya by plummeting like a Boeing in the technically-not-on-the-chart category of Triggers Kabru's Trauma by admitting - bragging! delightedly! - that he eats monsters. Kabru's trauma is centered around monsters eating people. What sort of horror is a person who eats monsters? (Yet, perhaps already starting to yo-yo: if monsters eating people is the ultimate evil, what is this reversal...?)

Then Kabru asks a few innocuous, friendly questions about this Absolute Horror, because that's what Kabru does: he lies through his teeth about his own opinions and discomfort in order to put others at ease and (thus) achieve his goals. Laios gives innocuous, friendly answers.

THEN: ORCS. This whole comic, we've had the debate about whether it's okay to eat humanoid monsters, with Laios begrudgingly agreeing to his party's refusal. And orcs aren't even humanoid monsters, they're full-on demihumans! Second cousins of tallmen!

Kabru actually has to take a moment to process this new depth of depravity which he swiftly assumes Laios has sunk to. I imagine WWII air raid sirens are going off in his brain. Laios is But then he leaps this horrific chasm, too, itchy though his knife hand may be - interestingly, his face isn't shown in the comic, but in the show, Kabru retains the exact same friendly, eagerly interested tone of voice when he asks, "What did they taste like?"

- (Sidenote: truly, in all of this, I'm most obsessed with Kabru's ability, willingness and determination to seemingly-blithely hopskotch and/or outright running-jump over any moral qualm for long enough to get the other guy to dig their own grave and/or let down their guard. Who even are you under your infinitely shifting mask, sir. Do you even know? Because I think some of what we've seen that's more "real" is part of the mask you wear to be the Hero Who Will Be King.)

And Laios realizes what he'd implied and says, alarmed at the misunderstanding (though it's not clear if that's for moral reasons or social awkwardness) but still smiling with excited pride, "No no!! We didn't eat them! Due to circumstances, we're currently working with them!"

With them! Laios is yoinked out of, if not the depths, then at least the utmost depths - while also snapping unexpectedly upward in Alliance-Building (pref. Interspecies, Local-Centric). Laios had already rated a 2, maybe 3/5 for his party makeup, but given his known lack of people skills, I can't imagine Kabru expected him to go any higher than that - and with orcs! Orcs who are maligned by everyone else; for whom the Island Lord regular offers a bounty!

Now, this IS predicated on the assumption that Kabru considers orcs a people who should be treated with like a legitimate, well, people, rather than killed like vermin. But I think I'm on solid ground, considering a) Kuro the kobold being a (mostly) respected member of his party and their secret late-night study-friendship; b) Kabru's harshly learned skepticism of the stories Elves tell about themselves and other races, which is where we've seen the heart of anti-orc sentiment; and c) Kabru thinks the Island Lord is a moron.

Mind you, I think the yo-yo-ing is relatively subconscious at this point, and won't start reaching an audible fever pitch until Kabru learns about the black magic in, oh, another 5 minutes or so.

...but I really need to go to bed, so I'll see what overanalysis I make of that tomorrow!

[xxmethlordxx]

Hey! This is an ask in relation to your Laois ask/idea request post. Hope it’s with okay you!

-

So I’m fem, but this idea could swing any way when it comes to gender, but basically deer hybrid or some sort of deer-person species in the dungeon?

And this deer hybrid ends up joining the party somehow and despite them being like uber tall, the reader is just a massive sweetheart: similar to Laois.

And Laois is asking all these questions and talking about other monsters with similar antimony to the reader! I don’t know, seems cute, fluffy little infodump/yap-off between the two just gets me giggling! ❤️

That is so cute anon..

(Not proof read sooo)

I feel like first meeting a deer hybrid they would all be really nervous cause of how tall you are, but after seeing your nice laios would be jumping with joy.

If you’re the tallest in the group you’d giggled looking down on senshi, chilchuck and marcille and give em lil head pats.

Being in the party now laios would probably be around you 90% of the time. Can’t find laios? He’s most likely with you asking questions and smiling and talking like a young boy looking at a candy store.

when everyone’s asleep, laios is wide awake on night watch, watching you sleep. Not in a creepy way but interesting seeing how you’d sleep with your lower half being a deer! He’d smiled and probably doodle it to remember later..

If your on night watch laios would also be awake knowing he could talk to you alone and ask your questions. Your anatomy, where you’re from, just about you! He’d pull out his book about monsters and show you the monsters your most similar too and talk about them for hours!

Now sooner or later laios would catch feelings, your just so nice and sweet to the team and him he can’t help but fall in love!! he’d probably start admiring your physical features, like your hair, eyes…

Laios would probably admire in general and gush of how awesome you are. Halfway through the dungeon he’d probably accidentally spill how he loves you on one of your nightly watches…

[dismas-n-dismay]

Are the Farcille kids adopted?

Nope!! It’s my art and I make the rules so I say they figure out some stupid magic that allows them to have some kids because I wanted Falin’s stupid goddamn dragon traits so bad

But!! They do adopt a little baby later! A little beast man kiddo who’s part deer and very skittish around the castle and her more predator aligned siblings- it’s not her fault though, it’s just animal instinct and she finds that the touden-donato twins are very friendly and very not into eating other demihumans like them
