#how every time she appears she's in conflict with her own selfless desires versus her selfish ones; being consumed versus devouring

[tofixtheshadows]

Constantly rotating Falin Touden in my head as one of the best examples of "haunting the narrative" I've ever seen. Schrödinger's maiden. Schrödinger's chimera. She's the saintly little sister they have to save and the savage dragon they have to slay and the girl they love that they have to eat.

They literally fridged her and defrosted her.

#CHARACTER OF ALL TIME #I say this about every dunmesh character. Because it's true. #Dungeon Meshi #Falin Touden #DUNGEON MESHI SPOILERS #don't even get me started on how Kui deconstructs her in the 'angelic girl on a pedestal' role #how every time she appears she's in conflict with her own selfless desires versus her selfish ones; being consumed versus devouring #Laios's last memory of her is of her self sacrifice and Marcille's is of Falin saying she doesn't care if saving her hurts someone else #let's talk about that!!!! #musings with Dea #sorry I'm going insane because my only two friends reading the manga are doing it at a snail's pace
