i don’t think anyone but my fellow sane spider-man 2099 enjoyers could ever understand how frustrating it is to be scrolling through the miguel o’hara tag on tumblr and have 90% of the content be blocked because you’ve filtered out x reader and smut content. we live in hell

Maven being fully aware that so much of himself doesn’t even belong to him and dealing with the struggle of “how much of these horrific parts come directly from ME” just a constant struggle of whether or not he’s even a person or just his mothers creation

Why do I get the feeling that Baylan’s promise to Sabine, that if she comes with them she won’t come to harm, is going to be important. Like, there’s so many ways they could use it. How far is he willing to go to keep his word? There’s something about his very particular moral compass, something about how he calls Shin off, as “I gave her my word, and unlike her former master, I intend to keep mine.” What if she fights Thrawn, will Baylan protect her then? If she’s in danger, will he prioritise protecting her, and keep his word? How much does his word mean to him, how much does his honour mean to him? There’s so many interesting things they could do with a promise like that

I think it’s important to remember that KK doesn’t dislike dogs, he’s just scared of them. He expresses compassion towards them and talks softly about and to them. Hell, when Akito asks him point blank if he doesn’t like animals, KK tells him that it’s not so much that he doesn’t like them, just that they don’t like him. And in the prelude, Rinko ribs him about his phobia, she even called it that. And when he watches the dog with the kid, he relaxes and even smiles. We know he likes kids, but from that interaction alone, we know he holds no malice toward dogs either

There’s trauma there, and it would have been interesting to see that explored a little in canon

One of my favourite things about learning about @mysterybensmysteryblog mystery skulls animated character

Arthur kingsmen (or is it kingsman? )

Is he’s named after The legend of King Arthur from Lancelot

Heck his hammer is named Galahad and his uncle is named lance (both of witch are knights King Arthur had)

Too bad there’s no other pets or family of Arthur’s to be named Merlin after wizard King Arthur had somehow befriended to help him it would be so amusing for sure

I mean there’s so many interesting things about Arthur just this is one of favourite things about msa Arthur 💕

okay someone has definitely thought of this before but kaeya must feel fucking AWFUL about having a vision

being told he’s the final hope for khanairia (however its spelled LMAO), a kingdom that has no need for gods and then recieving a vision,, like. i’d go nuts if i were him

hmmm… now that i think about it, many of the cryo characters in general seem like they would dislike certain aspects of their visions, just bc they often manifest in the middle of a traumatic event, or when they’re dealing with a lot of internal strife/identity issues.

crepus possessed a pyro delusion, and diluc has had a pyro vision since age 10. perhaps kaeya’s cryo vision reminds him of how cold it is without them around (even though diluc isn’t dead, kaeya may believe that their bond is broken beyond repair…)

but what you said is very interesting 👀 and honestly i’ve never even considered that before. the fact that his vision manifested as he blocked one of diluc’s attacks… it really makes it seem like the gods reached down and helped kaeya at one of his lowest points, and now that you mention it, he may not take it as well

there is also a theory that celestia uses the visions to spy on certain individuals (perhaps especially ambitious/resilient people) and i wonder how that would make kaeya feel, since he’s usually the one who keeps tabs on others…

"I've been waiting for ages for somebody to unmask them."

This moment tends to elicit negative reactions in a first read through, and I've got some opinions about why where Kabru is coming from here actually makes a lot of logical sense. So I thought I'd elaborate on that.

I think people hear this and go, "He thinks they must be hiding something because they gave money to someone? What a cynic." Or "he dislikes them because they did charity?? What's wrong with this guy!". And obviously, a lot, a lot is wrong with him. But I think this makes more sense than it seems at first glance! What people evaluating this judgement miss is why Kabru is paying attention to Laios and co to begin with.

Kabru knows of the Touden siblings because (he's a little bit of a stalker-) he is keeping an eye on all the relevant parties in events developing on the island, in order to be able to guide them to his preferred outcome. This includes adventurers because they are the ones actually exploring the dungeon! He's well aware that something as minor as internal tensions between party members could be key to the historical events that are developing. (He would love the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.)

His desired outcome is that whatever the rewards are of breaking the dungeon's curse, whether that's kingship or the ancient elven secrets of dungeons, are claimed by:

A) a short lived person

B) Someone who will be a good, effective leader and/or use those secrets and the power they carry wisely, with foresight, and to establish a political bloc for short lived people.

The person he can best trust to do this is, of course, himself. But due to his PTSD regarding dungeons and monsters, he's not able to develop the necessary skills to conquer the dungeon. Once he realises this, he starts looking for someone else who he can support to that end.

But most of the adventurers don't have any intentions of conquering the dungeon, don't have the skills, or are unsuitable in other ways. In fact, it seems like some potentially suitable people are the Toudens. There are a lot of good rumours about them going around - they actually seem to have a very positive reputation! That's what Kabru means when he says "unmask".

So when Kabru is observing something like them giving money to an old comrade from their gold-peeling days, he doesn't consider it a problem because "they're giving money to this person who doesn't actually need it" or because they must have some dark secret if they act superficially nice. I think he actually understands this situation and what it implies about Laios (in particular) perfectly well.

Laios and Falin gave money to an old comrade who got injured and couldn't work. That person then healed up but kept taking their money. Then he used the money to start smuggling illicit goods to the island.

The key is that for Kabru, the problem here is the same as with the corpse retrievers - people using the dungeon's resources to fuel dangerous, selfish, or violent pursuits cause problems for the island, attract more criminals and people with motives other than breaking the curse, and increase the chances of the whole situation ending in tragedy.

Kabru is willing to work with the Shadow Lord of the island if it gets him to his goal - he isn't scrupulous - but the criminal element of the island increasing is something he sees as a major issue.

Also, when you're evaluating someone as a candidate for power, riches, secrets, potentially kingship - then being curious about how the money you give to people is going to be used is kind of a relevant trait!

Interpersonally, Kabru's actually very easygoing - I mean, Mickbell isn't exactly an upstanding guy, is he! But Kabru likes him and they get along well. These traits wouldn't be a problem at all in a friend, or a comrade, or someone Kabru was confident he could use. But he can't get a handle on Laios, and Laios is someone who has the potential to be a major player!

On Laios' end, this is the same as with the marriage seeker who joined their party. She kept asking for things and he gave them to her, because he tries to be nice to others. He even gives her money! It's the exact same thing.

That's fine, but it became a problem because he basically wasn't interested in her motives, didn't notice she was trying to manipulate him, and it also didn't occur to him that the other party members would notice or be affected. We can assume the situation with the gold peeler is the same. When Kabru says that "It's not that they're bad people, they just aren't interested in humans," he isn't wrong.

The extent to which this is true of Laios is linked to his autism imo, (because it isn't just disinterest - he genuinely isn't able to notice nonverbal cues that people are lying to him or have ulterior motives) but to a greater or lesser extent I think it's a very common trait. Most people aren't actually that interested in other people who aren't close to them. Kabru is the weird one here. It isn't an issue except as a leader - which is why we see an immediate comparison to the Island's Lord, because that's how Kabru is evaluating them.

And disinterest in/lack of ability with people to the extent Laios exhibits it, it does, actually, make him a worse leader... it's just that as we see in the story, people can help him out. The rest of the party tell him the marriage seeker is taking advantage of him so he tells her he can't give her special treatment anymore. They're pissed and it's a crisis point - he couldn't have recovered their trust without Marcille and Falin - but that's exactly the point. With Marcille and Falin, he was able to recover their trust.

And he has other good traits that make up for it, such as his intelligence, strategic knowledge, open-mindedness and sense of fairplay.

Kabru doesn't disqualify Laios as a candidate based on what he sees about him from afar, though - he still tries very hard to get close to him, obviously hoping that if he manages he can steer Laios to defeat the dungeon and make up for his lack of people-skills in the aftermath. (Which... he does eventually achieve that goal!) He completely fails until the events of the story, so... definitely I think "They just aren't interested in humans" could also partially be a stung reaction to Laios' complete disinterest in him.

Anyway, that's my read on what exactly Kabru's "issue" with Laios is. Obviously, once he does find out what Laios' true nature is like - about his love for monsters - he develops an entirely new set of fears about Laios' priorities. But since Laios kept that a secret until the start of the story, he has no idea of that yet.

Given all that, I think it's interesting that he says that he doesn't think that the Toudens are suitable to defeat the dungeon, and that he's hoping they'll turn out to be the thieves. As some of his few potential candidates, people who he thinks may play a big role in the island's future, you'd think he'd hope they would be good people!

I suppose it's better, in his eyes, because it means that he's involved in something "interesting". They haven't just had their stuff stolen by regular criminals (boring, puts them further away from his goal) - they've been caught up in the beginning stages of "a historic event". The desperate and dwindling group forgetting morals in their quest to retrieve their lost comrade probably appeals to his sense of melodrama. Because he also just... loves drama.

Despite it being "uglier than anything he was expecting", he still pursues Laios as the person he wants to conquer the dungeon pretty much as soon as it becomes clear that he won't be able to do it himself and they are out of time. That's because... well, to be fair, there aren't any other options. And he fits standard A: he's short-lived!

and Kabru still hopes he can fit standard B, too, and be persuaded to use the power he wins for good. No matter how many nightmares he has about Laios, or whether he thinks about killing him. He doubts him, but ultimately he puts his faith in him and seems happy after the manga's ending that he made the right decision.
