I Have To Get This Out Of The Way, Re: Dungeon Meshi Discussions

do you have more fruk headcanons

YES OKAY sorry this took so long to answer but I have to dump all my thoughts abt my FrUK characterization here

Okay to start it off I think fundamentally they are… not domestic at all LOL. At least not in a normal sense. I really like the idea of the dysfunctional FACE family and obv I play into the ‘divorced couple’ route but also they are not normal and sweet to each other by any means.

I’m trying to find a way to phrase this without saying kismesis but essentially like. Imagine being immortal. and there are other immortals out there but they’re definitely younger than you. or far older. and there’s this guy who’s been bothering you for as long as you remember so he’s definitely in your immortality age range. and you hate him soooo much but also if he died there would be no one whose had the same experiences as you. there’d be no one who knows you as well because no one knows you better than your enemy.

that is fruk to me, at its core. like a very toxic codependent almost relationship where they kind of need each other to stay sane, even if it’s through hatred and fights. they can kill each other as many times as they want and know the other will come back fine, and it’s a sort of comfortable routine they’ve fallen into because you just can’t get that relationship with any of the other immortal nations.

I read the 2007 xmas special today (shaking my head) and as always it had some throwaway gags that really made me. think about their immortality. england mentions how he’s been rejected before and it took him hundreds of YEARS to get over it, which i’m assuming by then whoever rejected him had died. It’s shown that the nations CAN have relationships with humans, but it’s always portrayed as either relationships where breaking up/separating is inevitable, or complete heartbreak - because what else can you get out of a relationship when you’re immortal?

that’s why I think FrUk is so… dependent on eachother. France has shown genuine concern when England was sick because if he dies it’s Not like if a human dies. When a human dies it’s part of a Nation’s life because even if it hurts, their existence is faaaar shorter and almost ‘less meaningful’ than a nations. But this is England, someone who’s grown alongside him for centuries. The same goes vice versa - again, it’s a sort of comfortable hatred (and flings because like… I think knowing each other for thousands of years has got to do something at least once), that they really can’t function without.

Anyways that’s my long winded response and even now I have Sooo much to say on the topic of nations and immortality and death but. I’ll stop while I’m ahead

gerita rating?

ok so. im someone who actually cares abt ship order (i know most people in the eng fandom dont but *I* do and this is my blog.) I think the dynamic for gerita and for itager are different and while some ships it doesnt really matter this one does to meee. And yea i really dont really gaf abt gerita dynamic its not for me. Itager tho☺️ good food. Gerita be like the right ingredients but somehow u messed up the cooking so its just something i would not have at my table. Anyways I like Italy x Germany a lot theyre so funny. My friends robooty and wiener get them so well and i love the shit they make its so good ok.

you ever think about the fact that laios won not by being a monster but by being human.

monsters as we’ve seen throughout the manga are predictable, they have this rhythm to them that, once someone understands, can be used to take them out. take kelpies like anne where laios states that she is just a monster and cannot be trusted. even kensuke is “just a monster after all”, running away from danger when laios needs it most. kensuke is beloved by laios not just because he is a monster, but because laios, in human fashion, anthropomorphized him in his mind (giving him a name, etc.)

but people are different. they are multifaceted, non-monolithic creatures. long lived races are not all pious and apathetic towards short lived races as we see with marcille and senshi. chilchuck actively works against the prejudice against half-foots. tallmen from every region have their cultural differences as we see with shuro and laios/falin. even “demi-humans” like orcs have depth to them, having rich culture and values despite the general idea that they are a violent pillaging race.

even laios’ family and village, the nexus point for his dislike of people, have depth to them. though their parents did not actively protect their children, they did not wish harm on them either. the exorcisms performed on falin by their mother was harmful in laios’ eyes, but helpful in his mother’s perspective.

laios himself, despite loving monsters and hating humans, is so very painfully human. he hates humans but has risked life and literal limb to save his sister and his party. he loves monsters but is aware of their dangerous nature and spares them no mercy.

(big spoilers under the cut)

the winged lion mistook laios as a one dimensional entity, one which only operates on a one track mind without paradox. it thought laios to operate like a monster, and so it approached his desires like one. it believed that laios, being so obsessed with monsters, must behave like one as well, so completely disregarded the fact that laios could have something up his sleeve.

but laios is not a monster, he is human. he has ulterior motives, overlapping beliefs, contradicting values. it is his humanness that made him explain to his party what to do when things went awry. it is his humanness that allowed him to lie. lie to the world about his true plan as well as lie to the winged lion about his intentions.

sure laios WANTS to be a monster, that much is definitely true. but what he IS is a different story. laios is an unpredictable, sporadic, messy human being. it is that fact which the winged lion overlooked, and ultimately led to its downfall and laios’ victory.
