WAIT SHUROS DAD SAID HE WANTED HIM TO BRING SOMETHING BACK INTERESTING.... AND WHO IS MORE INTERESTING THAN LAIOS....

#he also cited lack of flexibility in thinking. so surely the solution is shuro realising u can like men.......... #wait... wait imagine. this wasnt the point of the post but everyone imagine with me #fake dating au but not on purpose shuro Does bring back the fucking king of the risen golden kingdom #but his dad takes it as him bringing his significant other back and says he wins #and laios goes But thats not- #and shuro claps his hand over his mouth like Wait a minute. #and when he gets back everyone agrees its the dumbest thing he could have done #im torn between chilchuck laughing or screaming at him. and kabru straight up murdering him #i dont know if itll be a recreation of the laios proximity disgust meter #or he comes back to a party popper exploding in his face with the banner Congrats on your marriage! #maybe both #god it is so difficult to come up with a ship name for them #but i need to. even if im just populating the tag with my screaming #laishuro????? maybe???? #they dont have a lot of overlapping letters... #ok laishuro is free and also this is the only post that comes up if u search it here. weve done it lads #laishuro #dungeon meshi #will that even show up in the tags anymore. im a fool

Victorian Fantasy AU

Crown Prince of Wa, Nakamoto Toshiro; Still struggles to make allies, even after learning Western customs and changed his way of dress... But, his western teacher, Laios, doesn't give him much room, nor time to feel like a failure. So things aren't too bad.

#laishuro #laios touden #toshiro nakamoto #nakamoto toshiro #shuro #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #sam's doodles of the day #haven't done much with this AU for a bit #Since I haven't decided if it'd be funner to draw or write this AU #YES I HAVE LIKE.... 4 LAISHURO FICS IN THE WORKS AND HERE I GO THINKING OF ADDING A 5TH #Anyways... Toshiro stood around like a nerd realizing he had to ask someone to dance #only for most people to avoid him or have partners already so... Naturally Laios sees him and is like nOOOO WHY AREN'T YOU HAVING FUN?!?!? #Laios went from 'maybe i'll make a new friend by fighting him and impressing him with my skills' to #'Okay so he's definitely too good of a fighter for me to impress him.. so I'll help him make friends instead!'

Laishuro is like. It is absolutely just true that laios is into him. And toshiro absolutely admires laios despite finding him frustrating and difficult but I just dont know under what circumstances he wld reciprocate... the circumstances make any kind of "Relationship " difficult since obviously laios can't actually go east and marry toshiro no matter how much he wants to... immediately post canon I feel like toshiro would feel like his interest switching to laios would be disrespectful to falin. But after that, maybe a few years down the line he comes to stay for a diplomatic visit... seeing laios bloom as a leader (something he's always been taught to value), with both their social skills having been tempered by time and maturity... I think toshiro is kinda Elizabeth Bennett core in that seeing the merits of how laios treats people under his power would hugely compel him. And seeing how laios still absolutely lights up to see him, even after all that time. I think he'd find it flattering. so they maybe have a fling... and then their letters, which from laios' end were already Incredibly Borderline Inappropriately Intimate get even more so. The historian who gets their hands on them definitely has a field day

#og post #dunmeshi #I think with the benefit of a bit of diplomatic training about interacting with foreign envoys laios would look back on his first meetings #With toshiro #And be mortified tbh #toshiro might get married at some point which given his canonical feelings on his father's infidelity #Could add some compelling drama

maybe laishuro really is my favorite laios ship

#there are so many good ones tho #ronan.txt

modern au where shuro is enamoured with a writer only known as touden. he loves their off beat humour, the startlingly poignant insights into the nature of people, the look into western culture and behaviour it offers him and the in depth niche knowledge. when he meets laios and co he's convinced touden must be falin, because who else could it be?? her bumbling brother that gets a little too excited when he talks about monsters and cryptids???? that dreaminess, the appreciation for the strange, her compassion, it MUST be her right? it's laios.

#laishuro #yeah. anyways lmao #interesting that im seeing more and more people call him toshiro tho skndkfnfn hmm maybe i should start too #i said writer but this can even be like. anonymously marking someones work at uni LMAO and he recognises laios style #not that he knows its laios. but one day he sees his handwriting or something and goes Wait a fucking minute.

oughh i wanted to do a cute laishuro take on the blu ray extras (what if laios had been eaten instead) but lets be honest. they absolutely would not have made it as far without laios

#they wouldve died. badly. #unfortunately ive lost the link saw it on twitter but i think laios gets knocked unconscious and imagines that it had been him that got ate #and not falin. and falin is the only one to advocate for them going back #but no one wants to go along with her presumably because they dont care for laios that much #(or at least this is laios' perception as this is just his imagination) #but also because she doesnt know as much about monsters and couldnt come up with a good argument for going back in #<- didnt know about prolonged digestion in red dragons and marcille assumed the interval was the same as in humans (1-3 days) #BUT...................... when everyone leaves falin turns back and goes in herself. and laios realises that shes always been that sort #of person and theres no point in ruminating over what could have been. #now. i want to believe that had they known falin would turn back without them. that at the very least shuro would have gone in with her. #theres no way he would have let her go on her own. and frankly i dont think he would have assembled his retainers #to go save laios rip... #marcille would have gone if she had known falin would turn back. and honestly i think she mightve known her well enough to guess this irl #anyways what i was GOING to say was maybe as they venture thru the dungeon shuro gets to learn more about laios thru falins view #maybe they get to know each other more and he opens up more about how he thinks of laios and like. falin is able to explain more about him #diffuse tension and give him a better understanding. like yeah hes still annoyed at him but he has a better view of how laios is #they get close and become better friends but maybe it also helps falin make up her mind and let him down gently............................ #and maybe they go and save laios but the dragon thing still happens to him #and its again a 'you felt like that all along??' situation irt him wanting to be a monster but it turns out ok and they (laishuro) #open up to one another in the end......................... #but. again im gonna be real. they would not have made it that far LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO laios the goat for real

[lokh]

shuro got two drawings. TWO. and im the only one excited about it

#ITS A SKETCH BUT STILLLLLL #honestly i dont think hes all that fascinating by himself. #but his potential with laios............ what if laios could make him better 😭😭😭😭😭 #this is about the hug thing 😭😭😭 #honestly i dont know how much i actually ship #OHHHHHH SO THATS IT #ok so. what i was about to say was that the ideal laios ship dynamic for me #is people falling for his autistic rizz and him just being oblivious. #which. isnt really a Ship thing so much as a one way crush #but maybe the reason i feel more strongly abt laishuro than labru is that. #laios Already has strong feelings abt shuro #obviously he does get a lil closer to kabru by the end #but the whole point with them is kabru desperately trying to find an in and somehow missing before getting there #so i understand the appeal there too but. ya know.. #I JUST WANNA POST THIS COMIC OK THERES ONLY A BIT TO GO #I /NEED/ PEOPLE TO SEE THE VISION. PLEASE

#maybe laios has to have his own awakening <-- I'd be very much interested in hearing what that might look like to you 👀 Shuro pining and stressing over it is the easiest thing to imagine, but I struggle a bit with imagining what Laios' perspective on romance is and his romantic interest in general

OK SO....... realistically i think his view on romance in canon is probably closer to how even though we know his passion is monsters we KNOW he wants to eat monsters So Fucking bad...... his favorite food is still cheesecake. yknow?????? but it's not his Passion.... he mentions having a fiance (somewhat as a point of pride iirc?) but having to break it off when he left his hometown. if he Does experience romantic/sexual attraction then it's kind of secondary to everything else going on with him (see also the succubus thing)... ive always kind of assumed that for him, at the very least before ditching town, that getting married was just a thing you did (were supposed to do) and while he wasn't opposed to it, maybe even interested in it, clearly he doesn't seem to care enough to seek it out afterwards. AS an aroace person i want to believe he's on the aroace spectrum adfvccvvbhb..... aro spec non ace laios is interesting too though.....

BASICALLY it's not a huge concern of his BUT. the question of marriage and succession WILL come up post canon. unfortunately he might not be able to take such a lackadaisical attitude about Who he gets with now that he's such a big deal.... but then again, he's got that rebellious streak and seems pretty good at making situations work in his favor. like who's Really gonna be able to stop him if he decides he wants to marry some guy from the eastern archipelago......

I think he might need an awakening in the sense that taking the view that he's kind of assumed that marriage is just a thing that'll happen to him at some point, he's probably never considered getting with a guy. it's just never crossed his mind. but we know he's open minded and willing to take on-board new ideas...... its less a huge awakening than an Oh! i see i get it moment wjnshdhxbx. actually i can imagine the idea being floated to him and he kinda goes hmmmmmm i don't really get it (for me) but ok i guess. then someone going (perhaps out of pity for an already pining shuro) ok but now imagine you and shuro being that close and him going AH! now I get it.

we know that laios cares deeply about the people close to him but it's hard for us to imagine him romantically and that's probably true for the people around him also tbh. i think no matter how you spin it (that he's aroace but decides to have a relationship anyway, or that he does experience any attraction) that perception will always hold and there might be the concern of does he Really get it though irt a relationship (in this case laishuro). I also think that if he does decide on a relationship with someone he cares about that he WILL care deeply he just might not show it in like. any overtly romantic way...

i will say that part of that perception of him being incapable of romance and sexual attraction, im concerned is because of him also being well. pretty autistic lmao. which is obviously not fair. but romance has never been a huge focal point in dungeon meshi much the same way it isn't really for laios, but it's still there nonetheless....

it's possible also that he has a bigger interest in romance and sex than is apparent but because of how Social it is that he simply won't pursue it. he's aware of his lack of social ability and is pretty insular with his social group (iirc this is kabrus perception of him?) so I dont think it's unreasonable to believe he might have decided it wasn't worth the effort to seek it out. but with someone who's Already a friend and you've already made all the possible social gaffes with and they haven't left despite that..........

#THIS ENDED UP BEING LONG LMAO SORRY BUT I HAD THOUGHTS. MANY OF THEM #I HOPE THIS HELPED AKANBXHCJXNDNNDD. #ANON #ASK #DUNGEON MESHI #YES IM TAGGING SO I CAN FIND THIS AGAIN #but also so i can force people to see this. i guess. #dungeon meshi spoilers #also jic. cos of the. post canon stuff

Hello father of laishuro nation! I must know. How do you imagine the process of laios falling in love with shuro?

jdndjfj im not ready to be a father 😭

i mean honestly. points at canon. that's pretty much it LMAO u could take it as that's him falling in love with shuro and just not realising they're romantic feelings OR he develops romantic feelings post canon... he's shown to still have a very high opinion of shuro even after their fight

oh my god. ok so what if. so MANGA SPOILERS but. shuro reveals that he's always kind of resented laios while laios thought they were best friends the whole time. ok, he thinks. so we're not friends. so why does he still think so highly of him (personal insecurities notwithstanding rip)??? so maybe he doesn't want to be his friend but he wants... to be his lover????????? he eases off and shuro is confused but somewhat relieved. maybe they both came away from the fight having learned something =^) little does he know that laios is gearing up to court him properly

#ive even seen some japanese twitter users point out that at least at the start #laios is interested in shuro the same way hes interested in monsters. hes 'exotic' rip #but maybe the fight would have actually made him realise yeah hes a person lmao #and the thing about being 'exotic' is that theres a whole other culture he doesnt know about #so maybe it would prompt him to think about shuro more as a person and be interested in him in that light.... #anon #ask #sorry for spiralling off LMAO

[lokh]
