"Tell us, does a hunt with no violence feed anyone?"
Im too exausted for proper(ish) essays, but im so crazy over this scene. i can't contain myself
He's confused at first. he doesn't know what is going on. This slight pause isn't because he's scared or frozen but to assess the situation. After all It was kinda sudden.
All he doesn't like this feeling. he feels uncomfortable and that some sort of boundry has been breached. But he hasn't fully processed it yet.
And right before he fully comprehends and does something about it—
He suddenly becomes compliant?
It's like he forgot what he was gonna do—like He loses the motivation to enforce his boundaries.
he still feels uncomfortable. that doesn't change. But he isnt aware of that. Well, that makes sense... since he never really did fully process what was happening. It's like he lost the will to care about or process it.
This panel. Christ... Thistle finally builds up the power to say stop. It's weak—confused and disoriented. I dont think it's even directed to anything specifically. Its intentions are vague.
But god... and the lion's response? Reassurance. how he can't help it, he needs this to live, he's been waiting for so long—oh, and don't worry, I'll take care of you.
Its just so chilling.
Thistle's powerless, weak, and complaicent. It's out of character for thistle. This entire scene is. However It's still thistle. His behavior and actions are his own, and for me that's the terrifying part.
This wasn't... Forced? There's no fighting and thrashing— Its just a complete submission. he didn't resist. he didn't fight back even if he had the ability to (we know bc he has, for 1000 years in fact). The lion didn't directly force him either. It didn't violently force him to have its way. But it's still violating. And that's the thing; the assult wasnt violent, but passive.
The demon has slowly but surely torn down thistle's sense of self so much it turned him into a completely different person. Like his identity was shattered and rebuilt to submit.
It starts small, building up the situation, taking away his desire to resist and enforce his boundaries, then it gives a rose tinted explanation of what is happening. Finally, it comforts and praises him. This is what gives thistle the illusion of choice, a passive way of getting him vulnerable.
You can see how it affected him vividly through this part. it's like he forgets what he was fighting for. He forgets his boundaries, his identity, the things he cares about, everything. It's being ripped away from him.
Thistle never stood a chance.
It wasn't his fault he submitted. It was the demon's for putting him in that state. His complaicency is due to the fact that he had no power for any other way.
it never mattered that thistle never fought back. Even if he did fight back or didn't, even if he succeeded or not—what then? it would never change the demon's nature. One who seeks consumption will always consume. In other words; it will always find a way.
I honestly dont think it was the demon's intention to harm thistle. It's selfish but not moralisticly evil (nothing ever is). It seeks fulfillment and not suffering. But its blind pursuit for satisfaction caused suffering, That's what makes it malicious. It doesn't matter if he intented or was aware of it or not. the demon benefited from something that could harm him and did it despite that. And that will never change.
beneath the wings of their deity, the royal family prospers.

If anyone has any they could share I’ll be grateful but otherwise I’ll probably get round to doing it myself when I get the time
poor thistle
another version
the thing about thistle is like. people whose favorite character is thistle may be a relatively small slice of the dungeon meshi fandom, but there is no such thing as a casual thistle enjoyer. ALL of us are insane abt him
So did Namari know that Shuro wasn't Toshiro's real name until Kabru started calling him by his real name?
'Cause Shuro doesn't seem like he was that interested in correcting the miscommunication with any of the party, letting them continue calling him Shuro even past the point where he'd have the confidence to actually talk to his party like a normal person.
And it is Shuro's fault the party calls him that. Not hunting down the panel, but it was his inability to speak up and accepting of whatever sounds Laios was able to eke out from that caused the confusion.
I doubt it's actually something Shuro secretly hates, tho. Considering his actual ninja family have a codename safety system in place already anyway, having a nickname like that would already be normal and even expected of him.
a shiny mirror. you see your family smiling warmly around you.

Inspired by this post i would agree that there is a chance that milsiril would probably take care of thistle after the dungeon events
people still use "i'm not interested in women from this story because they're badly written" argument all the time and i'm not saying it can't be valid, but rather… yes, it used to be like that 100%, but lately i noticed that i can really really like female characters in the story (they're often my favorite characters), but when i go to the fandom, i start gradually losing interest for those characters, because they're either: 1) mischaracterized by the fandom 2) villainized by the fandom 3) turned into a boring half of a popular ship. we need to admit to ourselves at some point that fandom is the problem as well (and always has been), not just the authors.
something ive noticed is that you dont pick a favorite dungeon lord. one of them picks you and youre just stuck forever and will constantly have them on your mind and itll make you so unbelievably sad
