Kabru, impossible mutual understanding & unknowable objects
Despite his concerted and constant efforts to understand other people, it’s established in a few extras that Kabru believes that true mutual understanding between certain different races is impossible. Specifically, between long-lived and short-lived races, and between humans and demi-humans. Partially, we can trace this conviction back to specific hang-ups caused by his life; the trauma of the Utaya disaster, prejudices he carries from his childhood, and his experience of racism among the elves. In this “little” essay, I’m gonna discuss how I think those experiences formed this belief, how it comes out in his actions, and how some of his actions seem to contradict it. The question of whether it’s possible to reach mutual understanding with other living beings despite our differences is one of the core themes of the manga, and I’ll also touch on how this aspect of Kabru’s character links to that.
Seeking understanding
Tumblr media
Kabru is a character who devotes a huge amount of time and effort to understanding people, and he is very good at it. In his internal monologue, we can tell how advanced and complex his skills of analysis are. He is able to read a huge amount of information just from looking at people's faces and body language.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
People are, to him, what monsters are to Laios. This is something that's been expanded on at length in other, excellent meta. It's the fact that they're foils; it's the fact that Kabru is also very easy to read as autistic, with a special interest which is the opposite and parallel of Laios'. It's something that came out of trauma and alienation, as Laios' special interest in monsters also began as a coping mechanism.
The complicated origin of this "love" for monsters and for people comes through, I think, in the fact that one of the places we see both characters use their fixation is in being very, very good at killing the thing that they love. This also ties into the idea that loving something isn't even remotely mutually exclusive with using it to sustain your own survival; using it for your own purposes; hurting it or killing it. Love can be, and often is, violent, possessive and consumptive. This understanding is part of what makes Kui's depiction of interpersonal relationships so compelling to me.
Tumblr media
While Laios fixated on monsters and animals to seek a place of escape, in both his imagination and his self-image, from the humans who he couldn't understand and who couldn't understand him, Kabru seems to have fixated on understanding people in order to navigate the complex, socially marginal places that he has been forced into throughout his life. As an illegitimate child raised by a single mother with an appearance that marked him out as different to the point his father's family wanted to kill him, and a tallman child raised among elves who didn't treat him as fully human and wanted him to perform gratefulness for that treatment – treatment that, after he met Rin at age 9, he certainly always understood could be a lot worse – his ability to work out what people wanted from him, whether they were friendly or hostile or had ulterior motives, wasn’t just an interest. It will have been an essential skill.  
Tumblr media
Milsiril, I think, was a flawed parent who tried to do her best by Kabru and did a lot of harm to him despite her best intentions. She may have treated him much better than an average elf would have, but like Otta and Marcille's mother, there are other elves with different outlooks on short-lived races. How would they judge her treatment of him? We don’t have any insight on what it could be, but to be honest, the person’s whose opinion of her I’d be most interested in knowing is Rin’s.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But even if she'd been perfect, living as an trans-racial adoptee in a deeply hierarchical nation with a queen who is a 'staunch traditionalist' who wouldn't even acknowledge the existence of a half-elf like Marcille (according to Cithis) is an experience that would deeply impact anyone.
Elves & Impossible mutual understanding
Tumblr media
While Kabru was living with Milsiril - in other words, while living in the Northern Central Continent - he came to believe that "there was no way to achieve mutual understanding with the long-lived races."
This is evident in his political project: he wants short-lived races to have ownership over the dungeon's secrets. Despite his dislike of the Lord of the Island, he's a useful bulwark to stop the elves taking over. Despite his doubts about Laios, Laios needs to be the one to defeat the dungeon, because if he doesn't the elves will take over.
Tumblr media
Kabru still carries a deep scar from Utaya, one that was exacerbated by the fact that he never got an answer to any of his questions about what happened or why. This, despite the fact that Milsiril knows about the demon and how it works. Do you think Kabru, with his social perceptiveness that borders on the superhuman, wasn't aware that she knew more than she would tell him?
Given that, the fact that he gets to a place where he "doesn't have any particularly negative feelings about [elves/long-lived species]" .... well, to put it bluntly, I believe that he thinks that's the case, but I kind of doubt it. After all, if he did have resentment, of Milsiril (someone who was his primary provider and caretaker since age six, and who despite her flaws, loves him and who I do think he loves) or of elves (who he has had to play nice with for most of his life, in order to survive, and will still have to play nice with in order to achieve his goals, since they hold all the power) what would that do except hurt him and make his life harder? Kabru is Mr. Pragmatic, so I don't think he'd let himself acknowledge any such feelings he did have. Exactly because he can't acknowledge them, they're well placed to get internalised as beliefs about the Fundamental Unchangeable Nature of the World.
However, these stated beliefs seem to contradict his actions. Despite his belief in the impossibility of forming a mutual understanding, he certainly seems to try to understand long-lived people, just as much as he does short-lived people. There's no noticeable difference between his treatment of Daya & Holm versus Mickbell & Rin that isn't clearly down to their relationship with him. His skills of human analysis were honed and developed while living amongst elves, and as soon as he's alone with Mithrun he immediately sets to understanding him - his interests, his motivations, his needs, and his past.
Tumblr media
He treats him considerately and without bias, and despite the fact that Mithrun conquering the dungeon for the elves is both a reenactment of a core part of his childhood trauma and a political disaster for his aims, that doesn't seem to colour his perspective on Mithrun negatively at all.
This is something I find extremely laudable about Kabru, and it's another way he parallels Laios. He seems to understand that people, as a rule, (in Laios' case, he understands this about monsters - and eventually, all living beings) will act in their own interests, and if those interests conflict with yours, might harm you. But that's just their nature, and it's not something that should be held against them; you're also doing the same thing, after all. The crux of Laios' arc is precisely that he has to accept the responsibility of hurting someone else in order to achieve what he wants.
Kabru is deeply concerned with his own morals, what he should and shouldn't do, but mostly in the context of responsibility for the consequences - a responsibility he takes onto himself. He isn't scrupulous about what he needs to do in order to create the outcome he wants, but if he fails to create that outcome, then....
Tumblr media
He blames himself to the point of thinking he should die. He doesn't blame Laios, or seem at all angry with him, despite concluding he should have killed him to prevent this outcome. That's because in his eyes, ultimately Laios was going to act according to his own nature, and it's Kabru's fault for not understanding that nature well enough. He's extremely confident in his ability to understand and predict others, (including elves and other long-lived people). Then, where does his conviction that mutual understanding is impossible come from?
Tumblr media
Partially, it's the "mutual" part. I'm sure Kabru, who isn't able or willing to deny Otta's insinuation that Milsiril saw him more like a pet than a son, has felt that his full interiority, the depth of his feelings and his ability to grow, act, and think as a fully equal being, was something that the elves around him just couldn't grasp. Because that was their excuse for it, he came to understand this as a gulf between short-lived and long-lived beings, an inevitable difference in outlook caused by their different lifespans.
This experience might be part of what leads to his iconic “fake” behaviour. He trusts his ability to understand others, but if they aren’t able to understand him, then there isn’t any benefit to being honest about his feelings and thoughts. If his attempts to reach mutual understanding with his caretakers were never able to be fulfilled, then it isn’t any wonder that he reacts with such surprise and horror at blurting out his desire to be Laios’ friend.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In his experience, making yourself vulnerable in that way only leads to being hurt. Soothing him, hushing him, lying to him, talking to him like a child that isn’t able to use proper judgement – that’s an inadequate and deeply hurtful way to respond to genuine distress, the desire for autonomy, or disagreement. Ultimately, I think that’s why he comes out on the side of being grateful to Milsiril; because she did equip him with the skills and knowledge he’d need to reach his goal, and let him go.
Though he could understand them, they couldn't understand him. To the extent that was true - which I'm sure it was - it wasn't due to anything about lifespan. It was due to the elves’ racism, and the solipsitic mindset & prejudiced attitude that it caused them to approach him with.
Because, if it needs to be said, the idea that there is an unbreachable gap in understanding between the long-lived and short-lived species is not true. Marcille and Laios have a much greater difference in lifespan than any full elf from any short-lived person, and they’re able to understand each other – maybe not perfectly, but better than many other people who are closer in life-span to them.
Tumblr media
That doesn’t mean that I think Kabru is wrong about this, however. Because there’s an interpretation of his statement that is reflected in his actions and is true. When he talks about his problem with elves, it’s not just their attitudes: it’s their power, and what they use it to do. They “explain nothing and take everything”. Though it’s presented in the guise of ‘guiding and protecting’, in fact it’s a simple case of a powerful nation using their military power, wealth, access to resources, and historically stolen land – including the island itself – to protect their own interests and advance their own agenda. That’s why they’d be able to show up, seize the dungeon, and forcibly take Kabru’s party and Laios’ party to the West. If Kabru wants to stop that from happening, or change that status quo, persuasion or a bid to be understood would be completely pointless. Between the political blocs formed by long-lived species and the interests of short-lived species, “mutual understanding”, given their current, unequal terms, would be impossible. This is something that we see reflected in Kabru’s actions; before he asks his questions about the dungeon, he grabs Mithrun as leverage. He never really attempts to persuade the canaries to see his point of view, because that would be pointless: they’re agents of the Northern Central Continent’s monarchy, and will act in its interests regardless of any individual relationship with him.  
I don’t think Kabru sees the different dimensions of this belief of his in quite such clear terms, however, as is evidenced by the other group who he thinks it’s impossible to communicate with.
Demi-Humans & Unknowable Objects
The other place that we see his conviction about the impossibility of mutual understanding is in the kobold extra.
Tumblr media
I'm including the whole thing, because I think it's an excellent and clever piece of world-building. Aside from what it says about Kabru, which I'll expand on shortly, what this extra does is deconstruct and call into question the usual "fantasy ontological biology" present in these sort of DnD-like settings. Essentially, the kind of worldbuilding where a race (such as kobolds) can be described as war-like, and that's establishing something essential about their biological nature. That's common to the point that if Kui didn't include this, some people would probably come away thinking that's the case about, e.g., the orcs.
But here, despite what Kabru is saying, the information the reader actually gets is:
the conflict between short-lived humans and demi-humans such as kobolds is mostly over access to material resources that they need to survive.
These resources are scarce because powerful nations, such as the elves, have monopolised them.
Kabru, who has grown up in a place at the centre of these conflicts, ascribes essential, negative traits to a cultural group which was in direct conflict with his own. Communication with this other group is impossible; they aren't people, they're more like objects.
oh yes! just like this conflict between groups of tall-men, a conflict which the reader will immediately interpret as more clearly analogous to real-life racism. Our other protagonists also carry prejudices from growing up in a place where a marginalised group was in conflict with the dominant group over scarce resources. It's definitely impossible to communicate with these people, and you can only kill them.
Woah, when you say it like that, it sounds pretty bad!
But also, nobody walks away having had a realisation or unlearned their prejudices - because they don't have the tools they need to do that work. Yet. I do think, to an extent, it could happen - especially with Kabru, since it's suggested in the epilogue that Melini might become a safe-haven for demi-humans.
Tumblr media
To focus in on Kabru, the key here is his statement that you should think of demi-humans as "unknowable objects". Even his extraordinary powers of understanding have seemingly hit a limit. Part of this is just inherited prejudice, and doesn't need to have a complicated psychological explanation, any more than the elves who were prejudiced against him need one.
But also... this is probably somewhat linked to the way demi-humans seem to be considered "pseudo-monsters". They're the place that the strict delineation between the human and the monstrous is permeated. Laios, who is not interested in humans, remembers and is excited by Kuro. Chilchuck and Laios argue over whether it's OK to eat a mermaid. Kabru's prepared to (pretend to) roll with the idea that Laios ate the orcs.
But these are people, aren't they? Of course, this is a social construction, as we see from the fact that in the Eastern Archipelago, the label of "human" is reserved for tallmen, but in most of the rest of the world it depends on some obviously arbirary classification based on number of bones; "demi-humans" aren't in any essential way monstrous, except to an extent in their appearance, and physical location - due to their marginal social status, they're pushed out to live in unsafe places such as dungeons.
Therefore, Kabru's view of demi-humans as fundamentally "other", unable to be understood - monstrous - could be read as akin to abjection, the psychoanalytical concept described by Julia Kristeva. In order to create a bounded, secure superego, that thing which permeates and calls into question the border between self and other, human and animal, life and death, is rejected and pushed to the margin.
“Not me. Not that. But not nothing, either. A "something" that I do not recognize as a thing.[...] On the edge of nonexistence and hallucination, of a reality that, if I acknowledge it, annihilates me. There, abject and abjection are my safeguards. The primers of my culture.” (Kristeva et al., 1984, p. 11) “It is thus not lack of cleanliness or health that causes abjection but what disturbs identity, system, order. ” (Kristeva et al., 1984, p. 13) “The pure will be that which conforms to an established taxonomy; the impure, that which unsettles it, establishes intermixture and disorder. [...] the impure will be those that do not confine themselves to one element but point to admixture and confusion.” (Kristeva et al., 1984, p. 107) (discussing food prohibitions in Leviticus)
This is both (due to its affinity with food-loathing and disgust) a very fruitful concept to apply to dunmeshi, and a psychoanalytical theory which I wouldn't exactly cosign as True Facts About Human Psychological Development. You may also know the abject from its utilisation in the classic essay "Horror and the Monstrous-Feminine" by Barbara Creed - that's a lot more approachable than Kristeva if anyone's interested.
Key here, though, is that through the symbol of the "demi-human" is embodied a step between "human" and "monster" - and that's a prospect that puts at risk the whole notion of an absolute separation between those two categories in the first place. To Laios, that's something wonderful, and to Kabru, it's terrifying. We can see this principle further embodied in the relationship both characters have with the notion of becoming monstrous.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
To Laios, this is transcendent, and represents a renunciation of everything human - in fact, if it didn't, it wouldn't "count".
Tumblr media
To Kabru, it's a deeply-held fear, established by his childhood alienation (due to his illegitimacy, his eyes, and perhaps also his neurodivergency), deepened by monster-related trauma and the sense of responsibility and survivors guilt he feels for what happened at Utaya. His identity as a human who is not monstrous is key to his sense of stability and safety; he doesn't want to touch monsters, he doesn't even want to see them.
Tumblr media
To acknowledge a kinship, a possibility of similarity between the things he loves (humans) and the things he hates (monsters) would be more than touching them - it would be putting them inside him. We know, quite explicitly, that this notion is triggering to Kabru. He literally has what seems to be a flashback when he's about to eat the harpy omelette.
So he abjects it, classifying the demi-human as fundamentally unlike him - an unknowable object, or an object that he refuses to know. Because in understanding it, he would interject the things he hates and fears into his self, which is already, always under threat by that hated and feared object.
Of course, again, Kabru isn't very good at enacting this refusal in practice. For one, when he chooses between his desires and ingesting the feared object, eating monsters... he eats monsters. Part of this is treating himself badly, the "ends justify the means" mentality. His goal is to destroy all monsters, so if he needs to become monster-like to do that, he will. But part of it is also the other motivation that he didn't even seem to know about until he said it: he wants to become Laios' friend, and to learn from him how a person can like monsters. He wants, at least in some part of him, to reconcile the feared and hated object into something he can understand.
For another:
Tumblr media
Kabru can speak the kobold language. In the first place, while this may have been common in Utaya, it also could have been something he chose to learn, an early expression of his interest in understanding and talking to all sorts of people. It isn't the kind of thing you learn if you believe that communication between yourself and the group that speak it is impossible, is it?
It's possible to harbour prejudices against a group while being kind to an individual, and given Kabru has those prejudices regardless of his reasons, that is what he is doing. But also, his treatment of Kuro doesn't reflect a sincerely held belief that he's an "unknowable object" at all. His approach is exactly the same as it is to any other person: an analysis of goal and motive, and an attempt to help if he's sympathetic and their goals align - going out of his way to give language and local knowledge lessons in secret. His conviction that Mickbell and Kuro will truly become friends when they can properly communicate is completely contradictory to any sense of demi-humans as fundamentally different, or impossible to reach mutual understanding with. To me, it seems like this self-protective shield against the corruptive force demi-humans as an idea present to his identity, this abjection, when Kabru is face-to-face with one, just simply can't hold up against his finely honed skill of intellectual empathy. Perhaps because he's autistic, it seems his "empathy" is less an emotional mirror response, and more a set of cognitive skills for analysis of others. That instinctual, emotional empathy might not trigger when presented with a member of an out-group, but if it’s possible for Kabru to turn his cognitive empathy off, we don’t see him do it.
This isn't to say that this prejudice doesn't affect his behaviour. For one, it could negatively impact his judgement of politics and policy, where individual people don't enter into it. For another, I'm not convinced he'd be willing to overlook Mickbell's exploitative relationship with Kuro if Kuro wasn't a kobold. As it is, since both of them are satisfied, he doesn't feel like he needs to intervene, regardless of the fact Mickbell isn't paying Kuro. But if Daya and Holm were in a relationship, and Holm took both Daya's and his own share from their ventures, but only compensated her in living expenses and kept the rest, do you think he'd tolerate it, for example? Even if she said it was OK?
Tumblr media
Conclusion
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The kelpie chapter establishes that "people can never know what monsters are really thinking." That isn't just true of monsters, though.
True mutual understanding is impossible - between anyone. We can never truly understand another person's heart. This is touched on in, for example, the existence of shapeshifters and dopplegangers. Even a monster that seemed like a perfect copy of a person wouldn’t be that person, and wouldn’t be a satisfactory replacement.
We’re intended, I think, to understand the winged lion's repeated suggestions to just replace people who have been lost with copies as something uncanny, which demonstrates the way that the winged lion never manages to attain a complete understanding of humans. A version of a person who was created to fulfil your memories of them, to be the person who you wanted them to be, would be a terrible, miserable thing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Disagreeing, coming into conflict, and misunderstanding each other, are essential parts of what it means to be living beings, as fundamental as the need to eat.
Tumblr media
The only thing to do is not to take more than you need to eat to survive, and not impose your own desires onto others. To do your best to sincerely communicate your desires, even if they're embarrassing or vulnerable or strange, like Kabru eventually does with Laios; like Laios does, bit by bit, with the people around him; like Marcille does, Chilchuck does, Senshi does... to hope they will accept you, and do your best to understand them in return.
We can re-examine, in that context, Kabru's line about the elves' tendency to "explain nothing and take everything".
Tumblr media
They have the power to impose their preferred "menu" onto less powerful groups. And in that context, mutual understanding being impossible just means that they won't give up their power because they're asked nicely. Kabru's goal is to seize the truth that they won't give to him, and to create a situation where they can't take everything. Because he's accurately surmised that nothing about the treatment of short-lived races will change so long as the power imbalance remains. Despite the way he mistakenly ascribes part of that to "long-lived vs short-lived" or "human vs demi-human", the actual gulfs in understanding he identifies are structural, are about power and about access to material resources and safety.
I think he could come to recognise this. Yaad is teaching him political science after all, and while a prince's lessons on political science won't exactly get at much that's radical or invested in the interests and perspectives of the marginalised (Capital is a critique of for a reason after all...) I believe in Kabru's ability to learn critically and get more from a lesson than it was intended to teach.

CHILCHUCK IS MIDDLE AGED!
(I can't believe some of the posts I've seen about hafling/half-foot ages seriously ya'll)
By Half-foot standerd, 50 is old. that's as far as most half-foots get.
In other words, near the end of their natural lifespan. okay? A halfling that gets further than that is lucky(healthy) alright?
I want to show you all something cool. 50 divided by 2, is 25.
so if zero is the start (which it is, halflings are definetly born before they turn a whole year) and 50 is considered the end, 25 is the middle. Chilchuck is 29. that is over the middle mark, see? a loose 36 to a Tall-man's 30.
which leads me to another point. something many of the dungeon meshi fandom don't realise: Tallmen aren't us. they are the most similar to Modern Humans (us, the non-fantasy race) that I think many fans forget they aren't Modern Humans.
The current life expectancy is diffrent all over our world, the ages that individuals are considered adults changes because of this too, But for better working systems (where people are actually supported) life expectancy is longer. Where I am I'd say it's 70~80 years, and the age an individual is leagaly an adult is 18-19years.
the Tallmen don't live in our world, they're adults by the time they're 16, and expected to only live until 60. so a Tallmans middle age is 30, where ours is 35~40. they aren't us.
Okay rant over because I ran outta steam but please ask me to clarify if something doesn't make sense.

Confessing something cute because tumblr's algorithm sucks and keeps recommending me accounts that bash my ship so I gotta cook my own positivity I guess
As someone who was both the caretaker and the charge at different times of my life, Kabumisu makes me feel incredibly seen and happy
I think the height difference is adorable
I love bottom gritty tallman Mithrun with top pretty boy elf Kabru so so much and I blame that one fanart for giving me an obsession
Mithrun is feminine. Kabru is also feminine. They are THE yaoiyuri. To me.
Imo, Kabru's kindness, respect, and humanity is what ultimately pulled Mithrun out of the haze of emptiness, depersonalization, and despair that trapped him. Like I said before, I have been in both positions before and this scenario is like, the ultimate fantasy to me
I love how Kabru's blue eyes and Mithrun's black eyes both mark them as unusual
I JUST LOVE THEM!!!

Hi may I request Pattadol with gn tall-man reader where she crushes on us when she and canaries came for their work? I really want canaries to tease her(ye even slowly rehabilitating Mithrun) I can imagine her trying postpone their departure to at the very least confess before leaving after everything's done, coming up with weird reasons until her new job given by the Queen allows her to stay a bit(by elf standards) more.
deadline extension
Tumblr media
ft… pattadol, the canaries
tags… pining, fluff, open-ended, reader is a tallman, the canaries being nosy, marking as spoilers but honestly there isn’t much
word count... 1654
notes… WE’RE SO BACK BABYYYYYYY if you cannot tell by my blog theming, i love pattadol, so of course i’m gonna be super excited to write for her as well!! i started this request a while ago and only finished it up recently, so I apologize if it strays a bit from the prompt by accident!! i live to create good side characters fics for you guys <3
Tumblr media
Being as high strung as she is, there’s no way Pattadol will react well to this.
Most of her interactions outside the Canaries are purely for work purposes, and since her team never stays in one place for too long, making friends with the locals was never a priority of hers.
Truth be told, though, it only really takes one compliment to have her smitten. All her coworkers pretty much never take her seriously, so it’s a nice change of pace for someone to actually listen to her for once…
“This dungeon is currently in what we would call stage four.” The other Canaries stood a slight distance behind Pattadol, most appearing generally disinterested in a speech she had most certainly given many times before. “We separate the life cycles of dungeons into five stages from beginning to end. The fifth is the most dangerous, so we do our best to avoid it at all costs, which is why we do our best to seal the dungeon during the third or fourth stage.”
The whole time she spoke, you stood at attention, enraptured by her words. “So dungeons are like their own living organisms, then?” A bright spark danced in your eyes, burning brighter when fed this fuel of information. “I’ve never seen another adventurer think of dungeons as much except for a dangerous place with money to be made.”
She watched the way your fingers flexed while you held the hilt of your sword, but never quite unsheathed it. In fact, she’d been so engrossed by your body lactate that she squeaked in surprise when you continued.
“Your knowledge is very impressive. I see now why the elves of the west have such a widespread reputation!” After a pause, the corners of your smile rose just a bit higher to add, “however, I’m sure your individual merit is just as evident.”
“Ah!” Behind her, Cithis smirked when the shorter woman’s ears perked up. Trying to show humility at your praise, a pale hand waved in front of her. “Such is expected of someone in my position. We are all here to ensure the safety of the public!”
Though, she highly doubted there was another member of the public as pleasurable to serve as you were.
You come back each day with more questions, and, time permitting, she’s happy to answer. At times, she will have to wave you away when she’s busy with other matters, and the disappointed look on her face almost makes her wish she hadn’t.
Before any of them catch on, her coworkers are mostly either annoyed at her getting distracted or relieved to have even a moment away from her watchful eye and strict attitude.
The first to realize what’s going on is pretty much a tie between Cithis and Mithrun, though I’d say Mithrun realizes just a bit earlier, but doesn’t say anything to the others, of course.
The captain’s gaze was practically drilling holes in the back of her head, so much so that she feared she’d start getting a headache sooner or later. With no warning, he appeared at her side, and she wasn’t sure if he used teleportation or if she was simply that distracted. Nonetheless, Pattadol feigned composure and looked at her superior attentively.
“Is there anything you need, captain?”
Her expectations were some sort of order, needing directions, but certainly nowhere close to what actually fell from the captain’s lips.
“Don’t get distracted.”
If she wasn’t so busy standing stock still in embarrassment, she would’ve demanded to know what he was insinuating. Not like she needed to, of course. The subject of his statement immediately came to mind, and all she could do was furrow her brow and clamp her mouth shut.
Oh, she was doomed, wasn’t she?
As much as she wants to be, Pattadol isn’t subtle. It doesn’t take long for the rest of her coworkers to get the picture. The teasing was strong at first, happening nearly every time you two were near one another, but I think they’d get bored eventually. After all, they’ll be gone after the dungeon is sealed, and you’re a short lived race! The idea of the two of you getting together was pretty much impossible in their minds.
The rapidly approaching departure was both a blessing and a curse to Pattadol. On one hand, she wouldn’t have to endure these treacherous feelings getting in the way of her duties, and soon, the judgmental gazes of her coworkers would shift their focus away from her love life and back to her just being a ��stickler”. After all, she wouldn’t even see you anymore!
But on the other hand… she wouldn’t even see you anymore.
To her own shock and horror, she actually starts looking for reasons to stay.
Now, Pattadol is literally the furthest thing from dishonest one could imagine. She would rather die than lie to the queen of all people, but if there’s something like, say, some damaged runes that can’t be read but could easily be done after the dungeon is sealed, she’ll choose to do it now under the guise of due diligence.
The other Canaries will definitely notice her demeanor changing, but a slower pace definitely isn’t a bad thing for most of them, so as long as the job gets done, they won’t exactly object.
She was supposed to be gone, wasn’t she? A confused expression took over your face when you caught sight of the long, blonde hair and the green cape. To you, she was unmistakable.
“Hey, weren’t you supposed to leave this morning?” The reaction to your voice was near instant, with Pattadol’s head turning just a split second after her ears perked up in recognition of the sound. Though she was smiling, there was a hint of something apologetic in her eyes.
“Well, we were,” a stray lock of hair was moved into place as she spoke. “We ended up finding some tunes on the walls that were partially damaged, and even once the dungeon is sealed, they’ll still be of great interest to the queen, so her orders were to restore and decipher them to the best of our ability while we were still present in the area. Decided that it would be more efficient.”
After that long string of words, she inhaled deeply, and you couldn’t help but notice her cheeks were slightly flushed. It looked good on her.
“So you’ll be here a little longer?” Even if she hadn’t specifically requested more time at this location, she couldn’t have said no to you. Not like this, when your eyes were so hopeful and your smile so contagious.
Grinning now herself, she acquiesced to your unspoken wishes. “Of course. We value doing our work thoroughly and properly.” Your eyes met once again, and the both of you knew that wasn’t all that she had to say.
“That aside, I’m glad to be here. I’ve wanted to speak with you a bit more…..”
A confession would likely be meticulously planned out by Pattadol, each word carefully handpicked into a linguistic bouquet that could express how she feels.
Your acceptance would shock her, really. In her mind, there was such a large gap between the two of you, and considering her position, there was little chance of anything truly working out in the long term.
Trying to reassure her that the two of you could make things work might fall on deaf ears at first, considering her emotional state. Writing letters was always an option, of course, but it just didn’t feel right to do that to you. You deserve someone who could be with you every day! She wouldn’t want you to spend your life waiting for her while she was overseas carrying out the bidding of the queen….
Many nights were spent deliberating her predicament, pacing back and forth in the Canaries’ quarters while muttering to herself. So many, in fact, that her coworkers decided to help her for their own sanity.
Pattadol, was, of course, against it at first, and even more against trying to bargain for more time, but soon enough she realized that she’d have absolutely no peace of mind if she left, either.
“W-we can’t do this!” The other Canaries ignored the frantic waving of the guard’s hands, signaling in every way physically possible that she wanted this all to stop. “It’s dishonest, it’s against the code! And- and it wouldn’t even work! Better to spare me the heartache!”
From the bottom bunk bed behind the panicking blonde, Lycaon propped himself up on one arm. He observed Pattadol with a largely unamused expression, waiting for a quiet moment to say his piece.
“So you’re saying…” he waited for his superior’s head to turn towards him before continuing. “…that if you left this lover of yours as soon as humanly possible, you would feel little heartache and get over it quickly?”
The look on her face, crestfallen and lost, said all that he needed to know.
Feeling defeated, Pattadol could only hang her head and sigh. “….Just don’t do anything outrageous, please?”
The methods aside, with Mithrun’s influence as captain as well as his lack of fear towards behaving out of line goes quite a bit farther than Pattadol, who was only really willing to use believable excuses. She’s practically tripping over herself to thank them, but most of them are just happy to get a break from nonstop work. Except for Mithrun, probably, who might even try to get reassigned down the line to get back into a dungeon sooner, but that’s Mithrun for you.
When she sees you next, she’s elated, telling you that she’ll now be here for a much longer time with you! Sure, it’s only a measly ten years, but it’s something! Perhaps you can work out something more down the line?
…Huh? Why do you look so confused? Did she say something strange?

Chilchuck’s a top FOR SUREE
Laios is bottom boy no one can change my mind.
Tumblr media
Look at his stupid happy face.
Now for the NSFW short snippet.
Laios and Chilchuck have had to had sex at least once yall, they’re grown men COME ON.
“Are you sure it’s gonna fit?” Laios’ sounded unsure and worried, which just pisses off Chilchuck. He scoffed at the question, biting his lower lip as he stared down at Laios back still arched from anticipation - or maybe he’s just used to this position by now. Chilchuck’s breath hitches as he hoveres above Laios, the much bigger man has his hands wrapped around Chilchucks legs with a grip that threatened to bruise the Half-foot’s delicate skin. Laios’ back presses up against cold cobble, a neediness in his golden rimmed eyes. They shine with concern, absently tracing Chilchuck’s body as his golden gaze pours into his companion with an annoying precision.
“It’ll fit.” Chilchuck states, like it’s a matter of fact, like if it doesn’t he’ll make it. Laios’ fingers dripped deliciously with Chilchuck's pre-cum and ass juices from fingering the poor man until he almost came, thankfully he had enough self-restraint to listen to Chilchuck command for him to stop and fuck him already. How he cried for rougher treatment, to come inside of his ass, to fill him up- but that was before they caught their breath and changed to a more comfortable position. Where Laios’ damp thumb ran over the inside of his partners thigh, nipping at Chilchuck, sucking on his neck leaving marks where anyone could see. Thank the gods for Chilchucks scarf.
The motions make Chilchuck jerk and sigh gaining the bigger man a stern glare, he pulled back leaving hickeys and light bruises to pepper the Half-foot’s neck and shoulder. Laios complies obediently, letting Chilchuck do as he pleases. The head of his cock presses into the half-foot, who whimpers with an admittedly pathetic moan drowned underneath, just the tip causes Chilchuck to shudder. The Half-foot wavered, jaw tightening as Laios' hands gently smoothed their way under his ass, spreading his cheeks. The Tallman grunted, throwing his head back in ecstasy as his teammate lowered himself further trying not to show how he struggled to fit the pulsating cock into his asshole. Chilchuck lurched forward as Laios's hips buck up, balls deep in the Half-foot at this point, it was a monsterous cock in girth and length.
"You're so… pretty." Laios uttered breathlessly, one hand groping Chilchucks ass cheek tenderly as the other cupped his chin lovingly.
"Shut up, you idiot." The Half-foot spit through moans, leaning into Laios' touch despite his words. Laios pounded into the smaller man, greddily groping and pulling at Chilchucks body hungry for the feeling of being deep inside of him. Chilchuck couldn't help but feel him hit his prostate, his hole squeezing and stretching to accomadate the beastly length that penetrated his rear. It was intimate and raw, as beads of sweat and pre-cum pooled onto the ground below them. Before Laios could comment any further Chilchuck caught his lips, pressing his tongue between his teeth to assault the Tallman’s throat, it caught the other off guard but he followed with a passion kneading Chilchucks ass in the process.
They fucked often. Laios with pleading eyes, whimpering how much he needed Chilchuck with his head buried into the smaller one’s shoulder, while the other reluctantly agreed. It wasn’t always planned, sometimes Chilchuck would get too pent up and couldn’t wait grabbing Laios’ arm and dragging him off to a secluded area. Other times Laios would pull the Half-foot onto his lap after a few too many drinks, grinding desperately against Chilchucks ass, only for Chilchuck to tuck him in for the night and wait till he was in his right mind to check on his horny ass.
Chilchuck’s heart rattles in his ribcage, the rythym matching Laios as they move in tandem the Tallman's hips roll and push into Chilchuck. It doesn't take long for Chilchuck to burry his gaping mouth into Laios neck. Feeling loads of hot cum fill his ass and roll down his shaking legs, shuddering as his hard dick squirts strings of cum onto Laio's abdomen. Laios doesn't complain. Heavy breaths and a tight embrace. "Did that feel good Chil? Are you okay?" Laios asks making sure the other is equally satisfied and content, hands running up and down Chilchuck softly, kissing at his jaw line before planting a careful kiss atop his head. They sit there for a while, Chilchucks hole warming Laios cock for a few moments before he starts riding and grinding the Tallman again.
If either of you expose me, I’ll release all of your drafts.
HAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
I like to entertain the head cannon that Laios would be a service top!

Forbidden Fruit - Part XIV
Part I
Thankfully Laios allowed him to save face, immediately stirring to action. He shifted his weight underneath Chilchuck, leaning back against the headboard and putting up his knees to brace his feet against the mattress. He shifted Chilchuck's body, pulling him forward until he rested against Laios’ chest. One hand remaining at his hip, the other wrapping around his back to give him stability. And to keep him in place.
It was so easy for him to push and pull Chilchuck around, place him right where he wanted him. But he would never do so without permission, had not done anything like this all night, before Chilchuck allowed him to. That was enough to make a bright feeling simmer hot in his abdomen. Knowing this was only happening because he had given Laios permission and control. That he could take it back anytime. But that he did not have to and instead could enjoy what Laios might do with it.
Holding Chilchuck close and still against his body Laios braced himself, shifted his weight, and began to move.
There was nothing curious or experimental about the motions anymore. Laios had already figured out how exactly he wanted to fuck Chilchuck and he did so with abandon.
Quick thrusts that were not as deep or as powerful but that came to build a frantic, greedy rhythm that fit him perfectly. Allowed to take what he wanted there was no stopping him as he fucked Chilchuck fast and rough enough to make his teeth rattle.
Clawing at the headboard for something to hold on to Chilchuck's arms found Laios' shoulders again, wrapping around his neck to pull himself even closer. With no reason to hold back anymore if Laios was not either he buried his face in the crook of the tallman's neck, inhaling deeply.
Sweat and metal and home.
His teeth found delicate, flushed skin and buried themselves deep.
Beneath him, around him, Laios groaned and fucked him with even more fervour, shoving himself deeper with each thrust, making Chilchuck bounce in his lap. The hand wrapped around his hip, helping him along with each movement, gripped him even harder, fingertips pressing into his skin to leave more bruises. At least Chilchuck hoped so, somewhere in his swimming mind.
Chilchuck allowed himself to let go, allowed his body to relax as his cock drooled and dripped where it was trapped between their bodies. Despite the delicious, constant stimulation, or maybe because of it, he had no desire to take care of it. His previous orgasm had sated him enough to not care about his own release at the moment, more than content to draw this out and enjoy however long Laios felt like spoiling him.
It was easy to lose himself to the feeling, the scent and heat and sound of their fucking, sating something deeply rooted and famished inside him. He lost focus again. Unsure, for how long Laios fucked him like they were both drowning and starving.
After a while of being perfectly happy suspended in time and space there was a shift. Laios slowed down. Did not stop, but slowed enough for Chilchuck to pull back from his neck with a confused noise. The skin he had worried between his teeth was not broken, but flushed an angry purple with clear, deep markings of his teeth. The sight was wonderfully satisfying.
"I'll pick you up, yeah?", Laios asked, panting heavily as he shifted his weight. His body was hot and sweaty and Chilchuck groaned at the obvious signs of his exertion.
Only when Laios did not move for a too long moment did his words sink in and Chilchuck realised he had been asked for permission. Good boy.
"Oh, yeah. Sure", he nodded, his mouth dry. "Just ... don't stop."
"Hmm, feeling good?", Laios hummed with an excited grin as he scooped Chilchuck up in his arms, then tilted him over until he was sprawled out on his back with his legs spread wide and Laios still deep inside him. A calloused hand came up to cup the side of his face.
"Look so good, too, Chil. So beautiful when you let go for me…"
Something far in the back of his mind twinged and Chilchuck felt himself buck underneath Laios’ massive body, his cock throbbing with excitement.
Despite his sluggish thoughts he wanted to answer something, ready to blurt out anything that came to mind, but a rough thumb brushed across his lips, then against and between them. Any other time Chilchuck would have bitten down as hard as he could before spitting it out again. Right now though, with his legs spread wide, his hole filled and Laios hovering above him, he only sucked the thumb deeper with a muffled noise.
“Always take such good care of us … about time someone took good care of you, too. So glad it’s me, Chil. So glad you’re letting me take care of you…”
It was breathless babbling but it was sweet and honest and soothed something inside Chilchuck, his eyes fluttering closed as Laios’ hips took up a slow, indulgent rhythm.

If there was a Inside Out 3, what would it be like?
Tumblr media
(Poster Edit by Me/App on Android: PixelLab)
Like we already got how Sadness and Joy were lost in the first movie, than Anxiety taking control in the second film, I think I the third should be about Riley is ready to go to college next Thursday, and then, nine new emotions appear to take over Riley's mind, the names would be Love, Courage, Surprise, Pride, Trust, Suspicion, Frustration, Shaudenfreude, and the dark emotion himself, Spite. The nine emotions cannot handle it when Riley develops a new crush onto the new boy and that's where things get serious when Spite takes the eight new emotions in his control and uses Love to make Riley's crush into love madness.
As Spite gets rid of our nine heroic emotions out of their jobs, it's up to Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, Anger, Anxiety, Envy, Ennui, and Embarrassment to save Headquarters and go through place to place in Riley's new developed mind, which is practically now a Mindtopia. And it means it'll be a lot more tricky.

Haven't You Heard the Word of Your Body? 10/10 THE END
Tumblr media
As inconvenient as it is for the son of a noble house, some elves have bodies that do the matchmaking for them. That's what's said, anyway.
Tumblr media
She stopped mid-stride, and Kabru would have left her behind if she hadn’t snagged his cape. “Oi, this is it.”
Right. Kabru had been too lost in the details of his own position to keep track of the doors on either side of the hall, whether they’d been marked or not. The maids had set a room apart for Kabru and his party to pass time in before the ceremony and marked it off with a little ring of silk flowers on the handle of the door. That’s what he’d been told had been done, at least. He’d been a little too addled to retain the information and left that to Otta.
“Are you sure that’s-”
Too late. Otta was already shouldering the door open. “Hey, guys!” A chorus of gasps sent her backing out into the hall, hands up and face set in a wobbly grin. “Oh. Oops.”
“Kabru!” Marcille, who like Otta had made herself increasingly involved in their lives over the past six weeks, had decided to blame him for whatever reason. Pattadol was there, too, and Fleki. And Mithrun, seated at the center of them, looking…
Different?
Unbothered.
“What’s the matter?” His gaze shifted between Marcille and Kabru and Otta. It settled on Kabru. It pinned Kabru in place.
He was beautiful. Though the sleeves of his white chiton came near to his wrists, elliptical windows in the fabric showed glimpses of the silvery flesh of his arms, and the fabric pooled around him like heavy mist where he sat. The blue veil Marcille had been tying under his chin exposed his ears, and Kabru had to wonder how much convincing she’d needed to do for that.
Pattadol tried to save them. “Oh, captain, it’s to do with tallman superstitions. If the bride and groom see one another before the vows are exchanged, it’s likely to bring ill fortune. So it’s said, anyway.”
Mithrun frowned. “At all? Ever?”
“Sometimes.”
“That’s absurd.”
Kabru had to agree. Even in the case of the hasty arrangements he’d feared as a boy, Elves at least enjoyed extensive introductions to ensure some kind of compatibility. Even if marrying sight unseen was less common than it had been among other races, some dwarves and tallmen retained the practice.
“It’s romantic!” Marcille insisted. “Besides, it’s kind of, you know, to avoid spoiling the surprise of how you look. Get it?”
Otta huffed and put her fists on her hips. “Yeah, well, it’s not like he hasn’t seen everything already anyway.”
Pattadol choked. “Otta!”
“I meant this getup!”
Tumblr media
Time for the happily ever after portion.
Current chapter
First chapter
I'll make a postmortem later. Or something. Many thanks to all who've read, and a hearty 'huff my duff' to those who've been dickheads.

I think Kabru's status as a political visionary and ideologue is less marked to a reader because most of the changes he wants are common sensical as soon as you grasp the basic political situation of the world. And he's certainly not alone in wanting to advocate for short lived people - as most people in that group with any amount of political awareness will want to adjust the balance of power in their favour. Chilchuck also agitates to that end, but he's thinking in more local terms. Whereas most leaders and politicians will be thinking of maintaining stability and gradually seizing power where options to do so open - like the Island Lord just bigger picture - Kabru isn't aligned with the interests of a nation state so he is able to think even bigger picture. Rather than about using power to get more power and stabilise what you have, about the way power can be used to achieve protection for other people like the child he was during the Utaya disaster, the people who died there, and then refugees or those effectively stateless like him afterwards, or Rin. Their welfare would not be a concern for very many tall-men leaders, because we are talking feudalism here! The land owning noble class, and to a lesser extent merchants and the wealthy, are who "matter" even within nations comprised almost only of short lived people. Even if not all of them would agree (elves for example) many a dwarven or tall man noble would probably consider themselves to have much more in common with each other than a tallman peasant or vagrant or an outcast dwarf. It's not the axis on which the series' examination of class and power turns so we don't see Kabru give much thought to it, but I don't think it's a distinction or a prioritisation he would respect whatsoever.
Kabru's uncompromising moral vision, his charisma, his unrelenting drive... he could really have become an actual revolutionary leader in different circumstances.

Inside Out 2 has maintained its number one spot at the box office for three consecutive weekends, with a total global gross of $1.015 billion. This success surpasses the lifetime earnings of the original Inside Out from 2015, which debuted with $90 million and amassed $859 million worldwide. Michael O’Leary, president and CEO of the National Association of Theatre Owners, praised the film’s achievement: “On behalf of movie theatre owners across the country and around the world, we congratulate Disney’s Inside Out 2 for grossing $1 billion faster than any animated movie in history.

Forbidden Fruit - Part VII
Part I
Brushing his knuckles against his sweet spot one last time to encourage his now half hard cock, Chilchuck pulled his fingers out, leaving himself softened and glistening. He allowed himself a moment of stillness to breathe and prepare for what was to come. Then he reached for the jar, still upright and unspilled, to hold it aside for the tallman to grab.
"Your turn", he said, voice only steady because he willed it to. But when eager fingers came up to grab it from him, he pulled his hand away. "Go slow", he added, throwing a stern glance over his shoulder. "And listen when I talk to you."
Behind him the tallman was flushed and eager but the look he gave Chilchuck was alert and certain.
"Yes, of course. Always." The words were said with grave honesty and to his credit, he had listened so far. Been good. Stopped even when he did not want to, kept his hands to himself just because Chilchuck told him to. The one reaching for the jar was still bearing angry teeth marks from where Laios had done everything to hold himself back. Chilchuck would be safe in those huge hands. So he held out the oil jar once again.
Laios took it with his bitten hand, movements slow and careful as if receiving a delicate treasure. Staring at the lightly tinted oil, transfixed, he dipped a finger inside, watching it get swallowed up and coated, then looked at Chilchuck again.
"Can I?", he asked and there were specks of heat gleaming in his eyes, promises of what was to come.
Chilchuck nodded, then turned around. Because his neck was growing stiff and for no other reason.
There was a clunking sound as the tallman set the jar down on the bedside table, so much easier to reach for him. A moment later his hand had already found Chilchuck's body, one hand grabbing his hip to pull it back and tilt it further upwards, the other slipping between his cheeks.
The movement threw Chilchuck off balance and he braced his hands against the tallman's body, both palms finding the planes of his abdomen. As he shifted his eyes found that length, straining and bobbing, and that beckoning scent wafted towards him. Sweet and musky. He only had to reach out, only had to lean forward...
So he did. Bracing his elbows against the tallman's abdomen Chilchuck shifted lower, raised his hips further, and grabbed that length with both hands. Behind him the tallman let out a groan, hips twitching minutely as that cock gave a helpless jerk between his fingers. Neither hand could encircle it entirely, fingertips unable to meet around the sheer width, and the realization made saliva pool under Chilchuck's tongue. It was about time he got his mouth on something as well.
Leaning down he did not dive for the impressive cock between his fingers immediately. Instead he first licked a long stripe across the tallman's abdomen, gathering the precome that was pooling there, slick and inviting. The taste was salty sweet as it coated his tongue and clouded his senses, perfectly intense.
The tallman shivered, mumbling Chilchuck's name. Again. It did not matter. His hands had stilled entirely, caught off guard by the sudden touch, it seemed.
Chilchuck gathered another mouthful, savouring taste and texture, before shaking his hips in the tallman's tightening grip.
"Come on, get to work..."
The open request was enough to rattle the tallman out of his stupor and a moment later Chilchuck felt something press against his opening. Something blunt and wide and slick that pushed into him with ease. There was almost no resistance as that finger sank deep into him and Chilchuck groaned at the feeling of being stretched by something other than his own fingers. Something that pushed and wiggled and reached deeper than he could, brushing different spots along the way.
Behind him there was quiet gasp, the other hand shifting from his hip to cup his ass and pull it aside, spreading him open. It felt filthy, being bared like this for Laios to see but it also made his cock throb. He was entirely hard again.
"Oh ... oh, you're so soft", the tallman breathed, wiggling his finger deep inside. "Feel so good. Gripping me so tight and ... and yet I..." He gave a slow, experimental thrust, sliding back and forth, making Chilchuck feel every bump of his knuckles. It was intense but comfortable, simple in a way things between them had never been. Would never be. So Chilchuck allowed himself to savour just this once.
"Like that", he breathed, pushing back into the wonderful stretch. "Come on, fuck me on your fingers. Get me ready for ... for..." He trailed off as that cock gave a violent twitch between his fingers, pumping out another dribble of precome. This time Chilchuck was ready. He surged forward, diving down to seal his lips around the tip and drink it right up.
The tallman moaned and twitched below him, grabbing Chilchuck's ass even harder as he noticeably strained not to thrust up into the feeling, abs trembling and feet burying into the blankets.
Once Chilchuck had swallowed what he could he stuck out his tongue to lap at the head, enjoying the heat and how soft the sensitive tip felt against his tongue. It took some time of him licking and humming, enjoying the twitches and droplets of precome spurting out for him, until the tallman got used to it.
Finally that strong body softened underneath him and the motion of that finger inside him resumed. Slow and careful at first, giving gentle thrusts, always attentive to Chilchuck's reactions. And Chilchuck reacted willingly, humming and groaning as he was filled, panting agreements and demands against the throbbing tip before closing his lips around it again.
"Yes, ah ... come on, I can take it, I can take ... more...", he gasped, his own length hard and leaking where it was stuck between their bodies. There was a gentle rocking motion to his hips now, back to stuff himself with that thick finger, down to rub his cock against that sturdy chest, forward to wrap his lips around that enticing length. Wherever he bucked and shifted there was more of Laios, carrying him, holding him, filling him, feeding him, and Chilchuck was dizzy with it.

Here's my poster of my official version of my version for my DisneyElseWorld's Pixar's...
INSIDE OUT 2!
Tumblr media
I saw the new Inside Out 2 trailer, and they made Anxiety, Ennui, Embarrassment, and Envy bad by betraying the old emotions. Lots of crazy stuff is about to happen! We don't know what's going on, lots of details are there too. But what would the ElseWorld version be like?
CLOTHING CHANGES!
Fear is now wearing the same vest but it's gray and black with the same stripes on it, Disgust now wears a pink/purple dress (just like the old concepts of her from the 1st movie), and Anger wears a black button on shirt with a red tie with gold marks. Joy and Sadness still stay the same.
NEW EMOTIONS!
For my idea. I have 6 new emotions, one of my OC emotions I've created like, Courage, Surprise, Pride, Trust, Frustration, and Shy.
MAIN VILLAIN
I am using on of my oc villains, Spite, to be the main villain of the AU second movie.
OTHER CHARACTERS
Characters like Nia, the assistant of Spite, she runs the business with him but she tries to avoid him to help others. Bud, Courage's blood cell buddy, he doesn't speak but he's sweet, nervous, cute and got some attitude. And Brain, the big boss of Riley's mind, and the emotions need his help to stop Spite.
What New Places Would the Emotions Go To?
In this AU, far from HQ and Long Term Memory, instead of the back of the mind being empty, there is a huge mind-filled city called Mindtopia, aka, The City of Riley, where everything in the mind has everybody for Riley's Inner Workings in her mind. That also includes Headquarters. And guess what, they're not the only company, there's also banks, council buildings, restaurants, malls, houses, apartments, and everything for Mind Workers after they work at Long Term Memory. And The Mind Councilman, Chairman, is the Mind Prime Minister.
Returning Cast like...
Amy Poehler as Joy, Lewis Black as Anger, Bill Hader as Fear (YES! I'm bringing Bill Hader back! He's so much funnier then I expected), Mindy Kaling (Yeah yeah, I get it, Velma is garbage but her acting as Disgust wasn't) as Disgust, Phyllis Smith as Sadness,
Tumblr media
Kensington Tallman as Riley, Diane Lane as Mrs. Andersen, and Kyle MacLachlan as Mr. Andersen.
With All-Star Cast like...
Chris Pratt (The LEGO Movie films, and Onward) as the new outside leader emotion known as Courage, Sean Hayes (Monsters University, Will & Grace, and The Cat in The Hat) as Surprise, Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live, Ghostbusters, and DC League Of Super Pets) as Frustration,
Andrew Rannells (Trolls Band Together, and Big Mouth) as Trust, Randall Park (the Ant-Man, and Aquaman films, and The Interview) as Pride, Tituss Burgess (Central Park, Angry Birds Movie, and Spellbound) as Shy, Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Seinfeld, and A Bug's Life) as the sweet and huge, Mother Esteem, Eugene Levy (Finding Dory, and Schitt's Creek) as the mind algorithm boss of Riley Andersen's Mind/City of Riley known as Brain, Nathan Fillion (DCU's Superman, Monsters University, and Cars 3) as the very evil and hilariously charming, but whiny, Spite,
Isla Fisher (Rise of The Guardians, Wedding Crashers, and Scooby-Doo) as Spite's sarcastic female assistant, Nia, Dan Fogler (the Fantastic Beasts films, and The Walking Dead) as Mind Councilman Chairman, Ken Jeong (Transformers: Dark of The Moon, The Hangover, and Extinct) as Yes Man, Alan Tudyk (the Moana, Frozen, Zootopia, and Wreck-it Ralph films) as Mind Gate Guard Jimmy, Peter Sohn (Ratatouille, Monsters University, and The Good Dinosaur) as the emotions new best blood cell companion named Bud, Stephen Root (Barry, King of the Hill, and Finding Nemo) as Doc Stem,
Yvette Nicole Brown (Disenchanted, and Avengers: Endgame) as Riley's middle school P.E. coach, Mrs. Roberts, Nolan Gould (Modern Family) as Jordan, Haley Tju (Big Hero 6: The Series) as Kelli, Tony Revolori (the Spider-Man films) as Riley's bully, Francis, Josh Peck (Drake & Josh, and Drillbit Taylor) as Francis' curly bully best friend Lars, Bruce Campbell (the Evil Dead, and Spider-Man films, and Sky High) as Dale Daley, Rob Huebel (Knuckles, The Other Guys, and Goosebumps) as Geoff James,
