#(contrast with laios having no clue what hed do with the dungeon but enjoying learning about it and monsters instead)

also isnt it kinda crazy how even thought kabru hates monsters and killing them is his main driving force hes never once considered learning as much as he can about monsters and instead chose to learn everything about dealing with people instead? to the point where he keeps getting killed by basic monsters but can handle just about any social conflict and kill other humans with ease

#when the fatal flaw created by trauma directly influences their main goals man. #both the dungeon in utaya and having milsiril as a mother completely warped his priorities and methods of achieving his goals #its just so. interesting to think about. #like hes so focused on the bigger picture of dismantling the dungeon altogether and dealing with the dungeon lord #he cant see the steps to getting there involve being incredibly familiar with monsters bc he has too many painful memories of them #(contrast with laios having no clue what hed do with the dungeon but enjoying learning about it and monsters instead) #biggest example of top down vs bottom up processing influencing like. the entire fucking story. so cool #AND LIKE KABRU DOESNT EVEN HAVE TO LIKE MONSTERS IN THE END! HE STILL CANT DEAL WITH THEM AND ITS PERFECTLY OKAY #he can instead hone the skills he has for a humanitarian approach to dealing with the dungeon and it works so perfectly and UGH its so good #ily kabru
