{No one wished Christopher a “Merry Christmas” yesterday (yes, I’ve started expecting holiday wishes at this point), and all I could picture in my mind was this:}
there's this lad who was the captain of my football team for seven seasons back in the day (Gordon Strachan) and he is the most sardonic oul get who comes out with the FUNNIEST quotes and I ALWAYS think about Mithrun as a diplomat. and listen I know Mithrun wasn't invited to be a diplomat bc he's "not that friendly" but I'm just saying. it would be so feckin funny. he's sitting there deadpan while Kabru is literally crying. should I make more of these
To the hcs!
AHEM
Very photosensitive, so going outside is blinding, even with sunglasses... yikes.
Wait what why??? Nobody let him go outside his parents thought he'd scare people
That twisty straw spine is not something he was born with and I know that, but also I'm mentioning why it's there later
Not just his waist it twisted, it applies to his wrists and upper thighs lol
He absolutely despises any use or mention of knives and dagger, also other things similar, so he cant even manage to pick one up or else he'd probably have a fucking panic attack
He has scars on his body like everywhere, most prominently on his back, waist, neck, legs, and wrists (NOT FROM SH!)
Spiders are basically the bane of his existence, despite the fact his monster form kinda looks like one.
One more thing he really, really hates is anything perfect. He finds it hard to look at, like if he saw something that looked perfect in any way, shape or form, he'd die right then and there because he dislikes it that much (he doesn't ACTUALLY die guys dw)
He lived most of his life in isolation since he wasn't allowed to go outside, so he seeks affection constantly
That makes him really love getting hugs and all that from Kennith :)
He can't eat. At all. If he does he passes out. This doesn't apply to just his hcs, but any character who's a ghost.
Christopher can still drink stuff though. But he has no need to, so he normally doesn't.
He somewhat enjoys abstract art, and even makes paintings occasionally, but he never lets anyone look at them. Like literally nobody, unless he's prous of it.
Weirdly, he never uses red for any art form.
Oh, even though I've mentioned he's made jewelry before, Kennith taught Chris how to make kandi bracelets and Christopher LOVES THEM SM!!!
Since YOHIO, the voice provider of YOHIOloid is Swedish, Christopher is... ehehehhe please dont come for me
Well. Thats it! Some silly chris hcs, see ya :))
One of the integral parts of Mithrun's story arc is that his one true desire is not to seek revenge on the demon but that he.....
... desires to die. Specifically at the hands of the demon, who he felt didnt finish the job after he was the dungeon master
There is a lot of foreshadowing up to this reveal such as:
-Mithrun's lack of ability to care about anything. His hygiene, his physical appearance, whether he is hungry or tired. All of this is common in those struggling with suicidal ideation and chronic depression. As Dungeon Meshi often toes the line between comedic and horror , usually comedic upon first inspection, horrifying with hind sight , i think this is best seen here:
...Why would he lie? Except subconsciously he wants to die. Whether through inaction , literally wasting away, or the dungeon monsters getting him. His preference would be for the demon to finish him off, but his actions sometimes show that the goal itself is death, no matter what methodology.
-Mithrun is covered in self harm scars. We know that he acquired them after his time as the dungeon master because of this story extra:
- this is further supplemented by his fighting style in the dungeon. Every action shows he is clearly a knife fighter, and yet he is never seen with a knife. He always improvizes weapons or is handed weapons by his comrades during combat.
Some examples of this:
This is even played as a joke in one chapter where Mithrun reaches towards the ground for a weapon before ultimately teleporting Kabru as his improvized weapon instead :
- which brings us to his teleportation abilities, it is extremely reckless for someone with no sense of direction and one eye leading to a lack of depth perception to rely on teleporting himself as his main trump card in fights. It shows a lack of value he puts on his own well being or survival
Although funny enough, the only time we ever see this go wrong in dungeon meshi is this extra where someone else, not Mithrun, is hurt:
- the reader is led to believe that Mithrun's goal is to defeat the demon for the majority of the story but when he does face Marcille and the demon , his eye glows its original gray, signifiying his desire and he says:
Mithrun is not addressing Marcille, he is addressing himself and ultimately he realizes his true desire is death just as he is about to recieve it
So YOU have chosen death. I'VE failed. The one who chose death has always been Mithrun , aware or not.
Marcille as the demon's proxy kills him. It is his first death in the dungeon, in any dungeon . Once he is revived , he is a blank slate with no desires left from his old self pre dungeon master. We are able to see what has always been hinted at, and Kabru confirms later on: Mithrun is able to gain new desires as long as he chooses to live:
Mithrun must live and seek new desires, he already has by surviving his death wish and then choosing to try and defeat the demon.(as shown by his eye glowing gray once more) He is capable of new desires and will live and find new meaning
After all one of dungeon meshi's major themes is the cycle of death and life :
The main cast learns to accept death, Mithrun to accept life.
Its why having a passively suicidal character realize their behavior and make steps to seek not death, not just surviving , but choosing to live is so impactful.
Once he accepts that, he is able to move on, his final words in the main story show that resolve. When talking about Falin he says this:
At the end of his quest for death, Mithrun chooses to live. As the text declares : your new life begins here
Thank you, Parsee
light yagami hcs but theres actually a psychoanalysis for some of them
— light has social anxiety. HEAR ME OUT!!!! he wouldnt admit it to anyone (himself included). for him it doesn’t manifest in the way where he apologizes for everything, stutters over his words, etc. instead; he grew up not able to make friends easily because it was always hard to relate when he was already so much more mentally developed than everyone else, and his mom caught on to this, so being the kind mother she is, sachiko tries to make him feel better about it because she thought that it upset him. same w his father. so growing up he was constantly told that he was just more mature than his peers and ir wasnt his fault, which caused him to develop a superiority complex, “i don’t have friends because im better than everyone else, and they bore me.” was probably his thought process, similar to how tomoko (watamote) is w her social anxiety, he blames everyone else for his loneliness rather than thinking there’s something wrong with him. again, similarly to tomoko, he changes the way he is to seem more normal even if he doesnt care to surround himself w people. he overthinks every conversation he has even before he becomes kira and is constantly questioning if he seemed normal enough 😧
— light likes carrot cake. no reason for this one except i rly like carrot cake so he obviously has to be the biggest fan of carrot cake ever
— if the death note didnt exist, and light didnt become kira and neither did anyone else, he would’ve experienced gifted kid burnout for the first time in his life being absolutely bored out of his mind, and he would’ve become severely depressed, borderline suicidal because it seemed like nothing mattered anymore and slowly but surely, he wouldve stopped having the motivation to participate in school, stopped trying to seem normal for the ppl around him, stopped talking to anyone in general, and likely became a recluse or kill himself. i say this bc i think the only reason he never became like that is bc he became kira, giving him a ‘purpose’ in life (passing judgement)
— light has a short temper, due to constantly having to mask around people. he tried to take his moms advice on making a friend in like 4th grade and when he came home, he went straight to his room, locked the door, and screamed into his pillow for a good 30 minutes from pure exhaustion and exasperation. safe to say he stayed polite after that, but never tried to have a genuine conversation with anyone ever again. this fueled his superiority complex probably, enforcing the belief that he was smarter and just generally better than everyone else around him.
— if he ever met beyond, b would absolutely test his patience. im under the belief that if they were acquaintances for a while, light would’ve tried to strangle b at least once. it would not work, and b would find that hilarious, because light doesnt like getting his hands dirty, and the first and only time he tries, he fails miserably. bloodmoon truthers i love you
— he has 97 mental illnesses and is banned from most public spaces /ref (personally i hc him w npd, aspd, avpd, & ocd)
— he got a cat when he moved out of his parents house and would absolutely go batshit (even more so) if anything ever happened to it. like a john wick situation. also the cats name is ai (愛), meaning love in japanese :3
— bloodmoon hc #2 , in the situation where instead of dying, b finds light on the staircase and saves him, fixing him up himself instead of going to a hospital for obvious reasons. also light would give up ownership of the book to b, but would have the book with him at all times to keep his memories. light hates him at first both because b is a murderer and bc he reminds light too much of L. over time they become sort of replacements for each other. light sees L in b, and b sees A in light (physical similarities for both)
— light despises apples. hes always pictured w them bc of ryuk, but thats exactly why he hates them. ryuk would have him buy every apple he sees, or just apple themed things and light would be sooo pissed and yell at ryuk for draining his wallet
— light has a phobia of needles. whenever he has to get a shot or something he’ll keep a tight-lipped smile but would be freaking the fuck out in his mind
ummm thats all for now methinks. yea ^_^ light is literally me so this is all very real trust
