💙Some Narumitsu Textposts For All Your Unnecessary Feelings❤️

There’s just something extremely touching about watching Izutsumi work through a wide range of emotions when she sees Marcille cry for the first time.

She’s sleeping on Marcille’s lap when it happens—something she hadn’t willingly done since her human consciousness was subdued in the Golden Country.

Izutsumi was initially very embarrassed when she remembered showing Marcille such unbridled affection when her monster (cat) side had full control in Melini. But now, shortly after, she did it again without any fuss, seemingly over this embarrassment.

But when she notices Marcille crying—not crying expressive tears over a situation with low stakes, but tears of real sorrow and loss—Izutsumi physically recoils.

She reacts with the childlike fear and panic that one feels when someone they heavily rely on and trust (like a parent or teacher) shows vulnerability, doubt, or weakness. She lashes out, trying to use words of reproach to get Marcille to stop crying. Or, in childlike terms, to try to force Marcille’s pain go away.

When that doesn’t work, we see her physically struggle as she tries to sit by and wait it out. But Izutsumi can’t do it.

Marcille’s pain causes her so much intense distress that Izutsumi immediately offers physical affection as a response—something she has not done for anyone up to this point.

When Senshi told the party about his traumatic backstory, Izutsumi did not touch him. She did support him, tried to offer words of comfort, but she did not embrace him like the others did. Maybe she didn’t know how; maybe she didn’t have a proper example on what comforting someone looked like. But she saw all three of them reach for Senshi, she saw them hold him in their arms, and anchor him as he cried.

This is the first time another party member has cried out of sadness since that moment. It’s possible that she saw how the others helped Senshi, and maybe, subconsciously, she saw that it worked. That it made him feel better.

She is clearly unused to it, and has her own rollercoaster of emotions as Marcille gratefully accepts the comfort Izutsumi is offering her. But it helps. It helps Marcille immediately, and Izutsumi knows this.

These acts of vulnerability are foreign to her, and thus make her feel uncomfortable, but she lets Marcille lean on her afterwards anyway. She wanted Marcille to be okay, wanted it so badly, that she accidentally overcame an emotional obstacle she never even knew she had.

so throughout Dungeon Meshi Thistle is trying to find Delgal. that's explicitly why the red dragon exists

but Thistle isn't just looking for Delgal, afterwards they're going to do something together. by this point Thistle is too far gone to remember what exactly that is, but it's important enough to him that the desire hasn't fully been devoured

in Thistle's house he has everyone's bodies set up around the family dining table. this is very likely the exact same table from his flashback since just behind Delgal you can see an identical hearth, log stacks, and tree painting in the present day home. Thistle is very into keeping things preserved after all

in fact the dining table is so important to Thistle it's one of the last things he remembers as the Winged Lion eats the last of his desires

after the Winged Lion eats him Thistle is left alive but fully catatonic. though the closing chapters Yaad is taking care of Thistle and trying to get him to wake up. when he finally rouses it's in response to hearing the Golden Kingdom kids calling for "his majesty" (Laios) to come eat with them

CONCLUSION: Delgal was late for dinner. after Thistle found him they were going to have a nice family dinner, just like they had been doing for decades

different freaks attract each other or however the saying goes

I love tropes where a popular, beautiful person falls helplessly inlove with some random guy

Bc the Dunmeshi anime is coming out tomorrow I was thinking about my specialest little guy Thistle the mean stupid tiny clown who I love so much. And anyways besides the point do you guys also pick up on his Weird reactions around Laios. Like I know technically he's being driven insane or whatever so his behavior is gonna be a bit erratic but also nobody else reacts to Laios this way basically ever. It's not even a consistent thing it's just a few panels here and there but I NOTICE it. I need to know what's going on in thistle's brain to make him do the things he does. First example that comes to mind is that like two pages where Laios tackles Thistle and dislocates his arm, proceeds to immediately vomit blood onto his face and apologize for it (still on top of him), and when Laios sets Thistle's arm back in its socket there is one (1) panel where Thistle gets weirdly fucking. I'm having a hard time trying to describe the emotion in Thistle's face but he gets So Weird about the physical contact of Laios' arm caressing his shoulder. And then he is immediately whipped out of whatever is going on in his head by this huge strong armored man over twice his size turning him around like he doesn't weigh a thing and asking him out to dinner. AND THISTLE ACCEPTS. And then within the span of like an hour after those panels both of them have taken turns tying each other up in bondage. There is something deeply wrong with both of them and they are both fucking freaks (affectionate)

"What if my friends secretly hate me?" What if they pray for you before bed? What if they hear a song come on and it makes them immediately think of you? What if when times are hard for them, they close their eyes and think of the memories they've shared with you? What if they study your face closely to see how you're feeling? What if they listen to your stories? What if they smile when you text them first? What if
