Do Worry Be Happy

I wanted to compile all my laimar/marios crumbs to be able to look back at them whenever~ These are CRUMBS and I’m not arguing that all these moments were intended romantically, I have my shipping goggles on and picking every moment I think is meaningful and shippy for these two. I’m probably gonna have to split this in parts because it’s gonna get long. Part 2 link

Content warning: spoilers for ALL of the Dungeon Meshi manga! Also blood & corpses in passing

They are so repressed aghhhh. I could go on forever about how Marcille is special to Laios because she was Falin’s first friend and was the only one to follow him into the dungeon for Falin and not the job, how from the get go they were linked by something more than work and that made him feel more comfortable with her. But my Laimar thesis is essentially: they are so sickeningly-sweet domestic and complementary. Their charm lies in their old couple “we’ll argue over what to have for dinner” familiarity with each other, having 0 filter. And also they’re funny together.

Meanwhile…..

LaiMar being nerds:

Them being cute:

Them being silly pookies:

Them being open to each other:

I think we also need to remember that when Marcille was on the edge from being brainwashed by the winged lion, it was Laios who found young Marcille and helped figure out the cause of her spiral.

It was also Marcille who found Laios after his dealings with the winged lion. It was her who found him first. And it was with each other that they found solace and comfort after all what happened with the winged lion.

Their journey in the dungeon made them closer and it made them grow individually and also as team mates.

Laios’ obsession with monsters is just being enabled if he’s with Falin and Senshi. With Chilchuck, it’s more of being watched over by an HR representative. Chil will do things by the book and is always a stickler for rules and professionalism (which Laios needs sometimes)

With Marcille, there are times she makes him grounded and reminds him to take it down a notch , but there are also moments when she encourages his plans (reviving Falin with the dragon meat and blood)

Marcille is willing to break some rules and at the same time, still be the voice of reason.
