scratches my chin... cade for fon mayhaps...
VISUAL ATTRACTIVENESS: 💗💗💗/💗💗💗💗 ( 3 - 4 )
This is more of a curiosity in attraction than anything, I think, but when he has his wits about him, he can tell Fon is a pretty face. He finds him to have an interesting style and appearance, and it's the type of look he would even appreciate more if he were fully himself.
Cade does find himself wanting to observe more closely sometimes, too... he doesn't see a whole lot of trolls where he lives, especially not such put-together and striking ones. Still, he's wary... he can asses Fon properly when he gets a closer look. He does like his shorter stature though..
FRIENDSHIP LEVEL: 💔/💗💗💗 ( 0 - 3 )
Cade doesn't consider them friends, but he also.. doesn't really know what a friend would be to him, anymore. Someone tolerable, someone helpful, someone.. kind? He's not used to someone so chatty and excitable, but maybe once he adjusts to it, having someone who gets rid of the silence wouldn't be so bad...
He doesn't really see anyone and think 'ah, a potential friend', but that doesn't mean he doesn't want one... He's feeling it out! Cadejo might not be opposed to some friendship, once he figures out what he thinks of Fon in the first place...
Yeah, he wants to figure Fon out, at least, and until then he can't exactly help himself from getting closer, in more ways than one.
SEXUAL DESIRE: 💗💗/💗💗💗 ( 2-3 )
This is to say it has crossed his mind in rare moments when he gets caught up in thoughts of desires and things he hasn't gotten to experience in a long time. However, he also confuses it with a desire to eat and devour that twink... the feelings often coincide and enable one another.
Something something a deep hunger serving as a metaphor for sexual desire,,
ROMANTIC INTENT: 💔 ( 0 )
Truly Cadejo isn't sure what that would entail for someone- something like him... is a relationship still something he's even still capable of? What does it feel and look like anymore? He isn't sure. It's not something that's going to be crossing his mind too quickly if it does. How much does a label like dating or not even mean to an undead monster like him, after all?
That isn't to say he'd be opposed to entertaining the idea, but it's not happening soon... who'd seek something like this with him anyway? Certainly not anyone with sense,
💔 Non-existent 💗 Very low 💗💗 A little 💗💗💗 'Hopeful' 💗💗💗💗 High 💗💗💗💗💗 Maximum

"mithrun is the only real monsterfucker in dungeon meshi" is objectively the funniest bit you can get out of his everything, but in all seriousness i think his attraction to his love interest is deliberately overstated—and that makes sense, because romantic jealousy is a classic and digestible motive, which is explicitly what kabru was aiming for in condensing mithrun's backstory, and also because until chapter 94, mithrun wasn't willing to admit to the true nature of his desires.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but because romantic envy is both classic and digestible, it probably isn’t a unique enough or complicated enough desire to tempt a demon’s appetite. mithrun’s wish, as far as we can figure from kabru’s reduced retelling, was to have a life in which he had never become one of the canaries, and that carries like 3857 implications and desires within it. that’s delicious. his love interest acts as sort of a red herring to his motivation for making it, though. (side note: i'm saying "love interest" here because, keeping in mind that i barely speak japanese on a good day anymore, "想い人" is something i'd usually take as just kind of an old-fashioned and romantic way to refer to a lover, but in context i wonder if both the connotation of yearning and the vagueness are intentional, and i think this phrasing gets those aspects of it more effectively. anyway.)
mithrun considered his love interest to be untrustworthy. there was a minute where i thought that comment might be about a similar-looking elf (yugin, one of his squad members), but comparing the two…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the "sketchy" arrow is definitely referring to the elf we know as his love interest—the bangs go toward her right, she only has the one forehead ornament, and, most notably, her ears aren't notched.
every time she’s given a full-body depiction in his dungeon, she’s drawn as a chimera, with the body of a snake from the waist down. (side note: the “what if a dungeon has chimeras before reaching level 4?”/“then the dungeon lord is unstable” exchange just being mithrun grilling his past self alive is so funny. he’s so. but anyway) there are a couple things about this.
first, the snake part of the chimera appears to be modeled after some species of coral snake mimic
Tumblr media Tumblr media
which, in the biology-for-fun manga, i… doubt is a coincidence, especially with the added context of the “untrustworthy” comment. the dungeon’s conjured illusion of mithrun’s love interest was a harmless copycat of a venomous original. for whatever reason, he felt this person was a threat and made up a "safe" version of her to be in a relationship with, and while it’s definitely possible to be attracted to or even love someone you find to be toxic and/or intimidating, when you take that into consideration alongside the configuration of her body, you get some interesting implications.
which brings us to our second point: if we assume that mithrun was not in fact fucking a snake, then sexual attraction, at least, was so far removed from his idea of a relationship with this person that he did not even bother to keep her dungeon copy human enough to maintain the illusion of the option of a sexual relationship. this is somewhat echoed in the depictions of their interactions, which also imply a frankly unexpected romantic distance. she kisses his cheek and he doesn't seem to react; she's at the edge of a narrow bed with only one set of pillows, on top of his blankets while he's underneath them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the kiss is particularly interesting because it seems to contrast the text. kabru's narration tells us this was everything mithrun could have asked for, but mithrun is there looking unreadable to pensive, likely because this is right before the panel that makes it clear things in the dungeon are beginning to go wrong.
walking through this backwards for a minute, we have the physical barrier of his bedding and the spatial separation inherent in a bed made for one person, the emotional barrier of his mounting anxiety getting in the way of his ability to enjoy the affection he sought, and... the snake, which historically carries the connotation of temptation, yes, but also mistrust, barring physical intimacy. okay. ok. if a dungeon reflects the mentality of its lord, all of this might suggest that mithrun was not able to have any real desire for a relationship with this person. his unwillingness to be vulnerable or let another person in was insurmountable. but in that case, why was she such a focal point that she remained to the end, after his dungeon had stopped creating iterations of his friends to come and visit him? why would he get so upset over her meeting with his brother that he became lord of a dungeon about it?
well. mithrun's brother was also interested in her, probably genuinely. and mithrun had to win.
you have an older brother who your parents completely ignore, probably in part because he is chronically ill/disabled and almost definitely in part because he received a ton of recessive traits that resulted in rumors that he was an illegitimate child. you are aware, most likely because those same parents fucking told you, that you actually are an illegitimate child. but they keep you around because you had the good fortune of looking just like your mother. what can that possibly teach you but that you, like your brother, are disposable?
it's utterly unsurprising that mithrun, under these circumstances, developed a pathological need to be better than everyone around him. people don't keep you otherwise. i'd argue this is also why he says he looked down on everyone he knew while milsiril claims his dungeon reeked of feelings of inferiority—he sought out people's worst traits and prioritized them in his mind to protect his already extremely fragile sense of self-worth, and all the while he tried to be as likable and high-performing as he possibly could be. his parents disposed of him anyway, but even then he tried to keep up the performance. he was kind to everyone. he never once lost to a dungeon.
when he saw his "love interest" meeting up with his brother, what he saw was himself being replaced by a person his parents had always treated as worthless, and if that was what they thought of the child they'd kept, what value could anyone possibly see in the bastard they'd given away to die? mithrun and kabru tell the story like he wanted to win this unnamed elf's heart, but it was never about being with her. it was about cementing his worth, proving that he didn't deserve to be thrown away.
and so it's particularly cruel that his demon discarded him, too. but maybe it's also particularly gentle that, in the end, there was someone who refused to even consider giving up on him.
kui laid it out in three panels better than i could hope to.
Tumblr media
yeah. it's love. you wanted to be loved, even when the only way you were able to understand it was through the desire to be wanted, and you wanted that so badly that the idea of being consumed felt like the promise of finally mattering to someone.

Um !! Also q and snow...
VISUAL ATTRACTIVENESS: 💗💗💗💗 ( 4 )
Four, but only because Snow doesn't put thaaat much stock in visuals. He's also very much a 'once you love someone, they become more attractive to you' type of guy, so wherever someone starts on the scale isn't the most important.
All that said, he thinks Q is a beauty! Or whatever words he'd prefer.. he thinks he's handsome and pretty and striking, but he doesn't want to say these things because he doesn't know what Q prefers, and he doesn't want to offend him...
FRIENDSHIP LEVEL: 💗💗/💗💗💗 ( 2 - 3 )
He has low expectations from Q, and he knows that Q would never call them friends, certainly not right now, and so he won't do so either. Still, he's hopeful for it- or rather, to try for it. Snow thinks of them as being on somewhat friendly terms, at least on his end of things.
SEXUAL DESIRE: 💗💗💗💗 ( 4 )
He thinks Q's commanding personality and intensity are very attractive, and there's no denying that he gets the tiniest bit excited about it when Q orders or bosses him around... he'd very much like to see and experience it in different circumstances if the opportunity ever arose... However, he doesn't expect it to ever really happen and doesn't even need it, to be content with whatever their dynamic is.
And for as much as looks matter, he thinks Q is visually very attractive, too.
ROMANTIC INTENT: 💗💗 ( 2 )
Snow has an incredibly difficult time discerning when he has romantic feelings for someone. He was never exposed to romance or examples of it in any form until he escaped from his church- and on top of that, he's a demi-romantic, so even the forms of it he does see don't quite match up with the way he feels towards people.
All that said, he feels Something towards Q, something small and nagging that keeps drawing him towards the Jade. He considers it a fascination with someone who acts in a way he's never seen before, and while that is partly true, there's also something in particular he likes about their dynamic. Snow really likes it when Q shows him attention, and he tries hard to not seek it out in ways that would cause problems between them, outside of his harmless pranks and such.
Even if he realized he developed feelings, though, he would be hesitant to address them, and he certainly wouldn't expect them to be returned. He thinks Q is way out of his league.

I just finished rewatching ATLA and I have to say…
Absolutely insane to me that people were insisting that Azula not getting a redemption was “misogynistic” and some kind of writing mistake. The girl told her dad to commit mass genocide.
