ive seen various little theories about this but i think the most interesting one is that hair is a very useful thing to elves (as shown with marcille during the familiar scene so i wont go too into that), so it possibly couldve been to avoid any danger or accidents being brought onto the king (despite thistle being just a baby but i honestly think that the people of the golden country, especially the ones within the castle and near the melini family, just werent very familiar with elven ages and elves in general,, another thing that i wont get too into as its not fully relevant to this) so thats why they cut it, another reason couldve just also been because it was matted,, those two seem like the most likely things to me but either way hes very cute and we should all love him!!!!!!

Mithrun and Thistle have no preferences
All the other characters with profiles have the preferences too but that's a lot so I'm just listing the main ones here
a mermaid duet, featuring our shining stars laios and thistle
//DUNGEON MESHI SPOILERS, chapter 55 (and a few thistle panels, no dialogue just art)
thistles expression..his eyes..aaghh
this brief second where we see thistles eyes clear up, aagh,, a bit ago i saw somebody talk about how different he looks compared to scenes from when he first became the lord of the dungeon just makes me very sad
the way he really did just try his best for the ones he cared about the most aahhh...
kabru that laios remembers
vs actual kabru
this shit is so funny kabru i'm so happy you suceeded in gaslighting the autistic man
i dont think ppl understand that thistle is a good example of the “1000 year old kid” trope. it was used right, it makes such a good allegory to the adultification that happens with brown kids. everyone around him ASSUMED he was an adult and gave him adult responsibilities, and it backfired tremendously. but the thing is people in this fandom are so ship brained it flies past people’s heads so they do shit like ship him with an adult like laios or his brother.
he’s not a *literal* child but there is a reason why kui has deliberately drawn him several years younger than his first appearance lol. even his tallman form looks like a child, whereas short elves like fleki and otta look like adults as tallmen
remember, wrt full-blooded elf aging 80 year olds are equivalent to 16. if thistle was brought into the castle when he was 20, and delgal was 40 by the time the dungeon was made, he’d be 60 at most
So I got into dungeon meshi and i’ve been telling everyone who I talk to. I love everything about the world, characters, the art, etc.
BUT
People are not kidding when they say that senshi will manifest in your head to tell you to eat better. Like I have a hard time remembering to eat but my brain would be like “you haven’t eaten in some hours, you need a meal” and I would be like you’re very right internal senshi I’m gonna see what I can make. Then I make food??? Honestly Gods sent senshi for helping so many people eat better
still very early into dunmeshi but i have a sneaky feeling thistle and kabru will end up as my favorites...
any pronouns OK! | rt heavy!!grips onto my favorites and shakes them so hardd auuughh
