kabru withdrawals

@laikabu / laikabu.tumblr.com

about. art tag is "my art" suggestive. he/him. asian. 20+ you are on the laikabu spam blog dedicated to them. i post fanart of other characters somewhere else. i am obsessed with kabru, laios is just his accessory.

i hate that i have to clarify that what i’m about to write is not a ship post, i am capable of enjoying two characters relationship as very good friends and not only a romantic relationship despite my handle. but anyway.

people who hate laios/kabru so much they start ignoring the fact he essentially becomes laios’s best friend along with marcille by the end of the manga are kinda funny. you know you don’t have to ship them to acknowledge they become very close buddies right. kabru has his Red best friends(rin and laios), while laios has his Blue best friends(marcille and kabru)

even before they become close, kabru just has unwavering faith for him even if he didn’t entirely trust him. there’s about two times he says “i’ll leave it all to you, laios!” verbatim.

then kabru stays behind to help them finish what remains of faligon long after his party leaves. he’s weaved himself into the party so much, he’s included in a couple of touden party sketches and some that don’t even include namari or toshiro. he enjoys planning laios’s meetings that he has sparkles in his eyes. he gets legitimately upset when laios suggests something stupid to his corpse after he dies. he thought laios was testing him when laios asked if he could stay by his side(because he was already doing it!!)

laios provides a safe environment for him to do something he loves and highly values his opinions, and in turn he makes laios not feel stupid. claiming that laios is his bumbling pawn or hes gonna leave melini for whatever reason is essentially AU fan fiction disguised as meta posts. how can you claim to be a fan of him and… not even trust his intentions? laios even tells marcille that kabru makes for a better king than he does, so i imagine it was brought up at some point and kabru was very against the idea.

as much as i think the conniving vizier jokes were mildly funny until it got old, he is really just a good person who believes in laios’ abilities as a ruler. even if he has to whisper a bajillion cheat codes to him most of the time.

celestialmp4 asked:

You've mentioned before that you prefer Karbu to Laios, is l/bru the your favorite ship of his? And if so what do you like about it more than the other ships?

i've reblogged and posted a lot of stuff i like about it but to give the simplest explanation; they complete each other in a narrative sense; kabru survived being stranded in the dungeon by following laios's way of thinking, and laios will forever keep taking kabru's advice until they die LOL. laios learns to embrace his humanity from kabru, and kabru learns about being authentic and vulnerable from laios.

everything about them is the opposite down to their eye shapes, the tips of their noses, their star signs(gemini and sagittarius are opposite signs) their stats are almost identical except for the top stat) etc. they are constantly shown learning things from each other, they have a lot of things they don't agree on but they like and respect each other still, so that's why they bounce off each other very easily. even if you don't ship them you'd have to be ignorant to not acknowledge they are very good friends by the end of the story.

kabru helped the touden party achieve their goals by actively became an obstacle for the elves (they would all die if not for his laios nightmare!!!), laios ultimately subdued the demon and kabru will forever be safe around him because of his monster repellent curse. they are objectively important to each other's story.

you could pull the "why can't people let two characters just be friends!" or the "they work better as just friends" card but then again you can say that for literally any friends to lovers ship.

i guess this is also why i greatly prefer their post-canon dynamic as a ship over their dynamic in the story. i don't really care that much about armored labru, i like it more when they're wearing tunics or modern clothes. i really do prefer it as something happening ~2 years post-story, and not right away. same goes for f/rcile, i want the feelings to marinate.

which is ironic because, as much as i love pre-relationship stuff, i havent made content of it yet. i shall rectify...

also they. just look aesthetically nice together. that's a nice bonus.

#ask #sorry for the long post wtf #dungeon meshi spoilers

i love those japanese fanart of laios and fake laios fighting over kabru im not gonna lie to you. or fake laios making laios jealous by being touchy feely with kabru...cliche yaoi shit but it’s peak ngl

#labru #dungeon meshi spoilers

i think it is a really cool detail that senshi is quite feminine for a dwarf, and mithrun is actually really macho for an elf (not to mention mithrun manhandling marcille so brashly pattadol got embarrassed and had to intervene 💀)

but since they’re their respective races it’s not at all obvious

I've been thinking a lot lately about how Kabru deprives himself.

Kabru as a character is intertwined with the idea that sometimes we have to sacrifice the needs of the few for the good of the many. He ultimately subverts this first by sabotaging the Canaries and then by letting Laios go, but in practice he's already been living a life of self-sacrifice.

Saving people, and learning the secrets of the dungeons to seal them, are what's important. Not his own comforts. Not his own desires. He forces them down until he doesn't know they're there, until one of them has to come spilling out during the confession in chapter 76.

Specifically, I think it's very significant, in a story about food and all that it entails, that Kabru is rarely shown eating. He's the deuteragonist of Dungeon Meshi, the cooking manga, but while meals are the anchoring points of Laios's journey, given loving focus, for Kabru, they're ... not.

I'm sure he eats during dungeon expeditions, in the routine way that adventurers must when they sit down to camp. But on the surface, you get the idea that Kabru spends most of his time doing his self-assigned dungeon-related tasks: meeting with people, studying them, putting together that evidence board, researching the dungeon, god knows what else. Feeding himself is secondary.

He's introduced during a meal, eating at a restaurant, just to set up the contrast between his party and Laios's. And it's the last normal meal we see him eating until the communal ending feast (if you consider Falin's dragon parts normal).

First, we get this:

Kabru's response here is such a non-answer, it strongly implies to me that he wasn't thinking about it until Rin brought it up. That he might not even be feeling the hunger signals that he logically knew he should.

They sit down to eat, but Kabru is never drawn reaching for food or eating it like the rest of his party. He only drinks.

ALT

It's possible this means nothing, that we can just assume he's putting food in his mouth off-panel, but again, this entire manga is about food. Cooking it, eating it, appreciating it, taking pleasure in it, grounding yourself in the necessary routine of it and affirming your right to live by consuming it. It's given such a huge focus.

We don't see him eat again until the harpy egg.

What a significant question for the protagonist to ask his foil in this story about eating! Aren't you hungry? Aren't you, Kabru?

He was revived only minutes ago after a violent encounter. And then he chokes down food that causes him further harm by triggering him, all because he's so determined to stay in Laios's good graces.

In his flashback, we see Milsiril trying to spoon-feed young Kabru cake that we know he doesn't like. He doesn't want to eat: he wants to be training.

Then with Mithrun, we see him eating the least-monstery monster food he can get his hands on, for the sake of survival- walking mushroom, barometz, an egg. The barometz is his first chance to make something like an a real meal, and he actually seems excited about it because he wants to replicate a lamb dish his mother used to make him!

...but he doesn't get to enjoy it like he wanted to.

A cropped black and white panel from chapter 62 of Dungeon Meshi, showing simplified versions of Mithrun and Kabru eating. Mithrun's speech bubble says, "It tastes like crab." Kabru responds, "It does, doesn't it."

Then, when all the Canaries are eating field rations ... Kabru still isn't shown eating. He's only shown giving food to Mithrun.

And of course the next time he eats is the bavarois, which for his sake is at least plant based ... but he still has to use a coping mechanism to get through it.

A cropped black and white panel from chapter 73 of Dungeon Meshi, showing a close up of Kabru as he chews with a blank look on his face. His thought bubbles show that he is reciting the names of all "the world's major cities" in his head.

I don't think Kabru does this all on purpose. I think Kui does this all on purpose. Kabru's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder should be understood as informing his character just as much as Laios's autism informs his. It's another way that Kabru and Laios act as foils: where Laios takes pleasure in meals and approaches food with the excitement of discovery, Kabru's experiences with eating are tainted by his trauma. Laios indulges; Kabru denies himself. Laios is shown enjoying food, Kabru is shown struggling with it.

And I can very easily imagine a reason why Kabru might have a subconscious aversion towards eating.

Meals are the privilege of the living.

here’s a little post-story tidbit that a lot of non-japanese speakers probably don’t know

after the dungeon is sealed, kabru stays in the melini castle as one of laios’ advisors and starts studying under yaad. you know,

the guy who likes to watch people eat

#i’ll never get tired of spreading this tidbit lol #dungeon meshi #kabru #yaad melini #dungeon meshi spoilers

im impartial to other gender hcs but these r the strongest ones in my mind

have you read the manga? im talking about marcille giving birth to the demon. it came out of her womb when mithrun was manhandling her and she needed to defend herself. not being born.

laikabu reblogged

neither of them know it just yet but less than two months from now they're going to be best friends :)

#Everybody forgets about rin

noooo i didnt forget about rin it's just that kabru and marcille hang out all the time post-canon since they literally live together lol. i think kabru would want marcille and rin to be friends though

#dungeon meshi spoilers

future prime minister kabru isnt something fans pulled out of their asses btw. its greatly implied to happen after yaad dies

#delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers #yaad melini #kabru

isnt it fucked up how mithrun and his brother look like funhouse mirror versions of thistle and delgal. same eye shapes and everything. the difference was mithrun became dungeon lord because he violently hated his brother back then, but thistle loved his too much

#mithrun of the house of kerensil #mithrun’s brother #delgal melini #thistle #dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers

izutsumi being the only one who remembers laios’s monster’s poop forest lore is peak teenager behavior

#dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #izutsumi #laios touden #kabru #marcille donato #dungeon meshi spoilers

kabru becomes responsible for holding the kingdom together in its early years as an advisor and then eventually the prime minister, but he doesn’t have a significant presence at all in the myth of the king, devourer of all things horrible, because… he wrote it.

he loves stories, but he also loves embellishing them and cutting out parts he deems insignificant. he wouldn’t think that he held a significant role despite being the kingmaker, the glue that held everything in place.

#dungeon meshi #kabru #dungeon meshi spoilers #dungeon meshi meta

rereading the izutsumi chapters… laios rly does look like a big brother trying to reason with a brat in this entire chapter. “we have food at home” type. he’d make a good dad (now im just saying shit)

#dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers #laios touden #izutsumi

i wish kabru n yaad got a dedicated comic bc i find it nice that he’s a presence kabru’s life

kabru canonically starts studying political science under yaad

kabru’s father rejected him, and i think yaad would be a good fatherly figure
yaad likes watching people eat, he’d ask kabru to eat regularly

just look at them. so cute. anyway, if you see any fanwork that mentions them interacting together, here’s the context!
