extension on my earlier Niigo confronting Mafuyu's mom post
i think part of the reason i love mithrun so muchis that like. his obsession with the demon is so explicitly self destructive.
i mean he literally states that the one desire it left him with after it ate him was for it to finish the job. he felt worthless. less than nothing. leftover crumbs to be thrown away.
just this deeply human story of trauma and how people's reactions and emotions to it vary. i love how human everyone in dungeon meshi is in general. no one is perfect. its just so. ughhh. i love this series.
healing mithrun attack
why does this make me sad LOL
forgot to post this doodle uhhhhhhh
i understand the love of college aus but i’m begging y’all to stop making mithrun an undergrad. that man is on his final year of a graduate program after a 10 year break from academia whose biggest enemy is his advisor that won’t stop assigning him to TA 100-level classes.
Haha hello crispy nation i’ve returned and given you christopher with Sharp teeth because 90% of people i draw have sharp teeth and i cant Not add them
mithrun's desire to live in a world where he has no enemies or people who'd harm him makes me so incredibly upset, but it's a very important piece of the puzzle. the guy clearly was plagued by paranoia and/or anxiety to such unhealthy degree that his biggest desire was… to not have it? i mean, pretty much every bit of extra material confirms that he had troubles with being vulnerable and could never truly trust others, of course, but if it truly was his biggest wish? (if the translation is correct, i mean). it's just. heartbreaking.
because obviously the demon was gonna use it, play the games with him: one day everything is fine and you feel secure and the next day something is starting to feel off. the paranoia would never stop. he'd build hidden passages everywhere in his home just to have safe places. he'd get rid of everyone in his life. turning his partner into a chimera who'd protect him (literally his own words), but still not trusting them enough to be in his bed. and after all these twisted games, after all these defenses were built, the demon couldn't care less of them, it just… intruded into his bedroom and ate right through his body, the last protection he had.
your average mafuyu but i gave her a fish.
yeah sure i get ayin’s whole thing about angela because of carmen but also LOOK AT HER. SHES LIKE A KITTY. HOW CAN YOU LOOK AT HER AND HATE HER FACE. he might as well be one step off from kicking baby animals for his own entertainment
