I like the idea of Chimera Laios before he got absorbed into the dragon or whatever somehow out of his own pure will and determination he’d up slightly more anatomically correct than how Falin’s chimera form looked in his eyes as he basically says that her chimera form was like one of those deformed pugs.
Granted it’d probably end up looking even more grotesque but he’d be happy and he’d definitely add unnecessary features out of his own will like some kind of OC but it’s actually himself lol.
I think Laios would wanna dress feminine or at least attempt to.
I like to project my own non-binaryness onto him so I think he’d want to wear dresses.
Cause tbh I myself am not the most fem person ever so I’m not the most knowledgeable person ever. And I really do wish I knew more.
So I wonder how he’d react to wearing a dress, wear nail polish, wear makeup, would he see himself in the mirror? Or a vague idea of a concept?
I think he’d very much be someone who wants to try out all kinds of fashion or clothing just to see what fits and what doesn’t. I think he’d like being called cute or be thought of as cute instead of imposing or apparent.
Thinking on his hand mannerisms makes me think of him as very conscious on how he looks to others when he kinda doesn’t. So I wonder how often he picks up habits around others to not be disturbing how much to hunch his back and how much to keep his hands low.
hello chilaios nation.
this panel from the world guide of falin being surrounded by other girls while laios is all alone kills me because. that's it. that's the key difference in their journeys.
as laios states himself, he left the village in order to create a home for him and falin elsewhere. a home that won't collapse due to others' hatred and fears like their old home did, a home where they are loved and accepted unconditionally. but as he soon found out, even before earning money, or having walls surrounding him and a roof above his head- what he so earnestly desired was to meet other people who will accept him for who he is as well. instead, he kept being tormented by those around him, shunned and sneered at. his loneliness quickly became all-consuming until he truly had nothing left except for the monsters in the pages of his book, but even that became a target of mockery and destroyed. that's why ever since the day he left the village, he never felt that he truly made the right choice. so he kept running away: unable to resist and unable to accpet.
and an ocean away from him there was his sister, who never managed to fully fit in herself. but unlike him, she met a person who became a home to her and learned what a true friendship was for the first time in her life. and laios clearly realizes that too when he finally sees falin and marcille together, he can tell his sister obtained the greatest treasure there is on her own- the exact thing he never managed to find anywhere himself, thus coming back empty-handed to the sister he left the village for.
but when you read this part of the manga, laios's focus is on falin's loneliness, not his own. he talks about how it hurts thinking about all those moments she had to spend alone because he wasn't there for her, so it almost sounds like he's the one who couldn't bear her suffering and therefore decided to not let her go again. but we do get a glimpse of their first meeting after that almost-decade long separation in the manga, and then we see more of that in the world guide and daydream hour- and it becomes abundantly clear that it was falin who was trying to protect and save him from this pit of loneliness and depression he was in.
so instead of just doing his best to atone for leaving her behind in the village and making sure she is never lonely again, it might also be that laios was desperately clinging to the one person in the world he felt that accepted and loved him unconditionally. those words he used to describe his motivation to stay by falin's side are the exact words she would've used as well; she couldn't bear leaving him behind in this state. in a sense, they were each other's shackles.
but then she did. she died for him and their friends, and ironically enough, it was by leaving him alone like this that he was finally able to stand on his own and put his full trust in others. to have the courage to reveal who he is and give others the opportunity to accept him after such a long time of hiding. it was a long journey, but his hiding finally came to an end when he faced the others after shedding his monster form. and i love that the person who was falin's "home" all those years away from laios, marcille, became just as meaningful to him during their time separated from falin- the first one to find him and show him that he isn't alone anymore. just as he did for her.
so at the end of the story when falin talks about all the places she would like to go, it's not just that she wants to pursue her own dreams- but that she actually feels free to do so and go anywhere she desires. and one of the main reasons for that is that her brother finally found new people he wants to be with; his own home.

Gears in my brain are turning wondering how would one or the other realize they’re in love.
For Laios I feel would be a thing of slowly over time finding out and realizing from afar but never really being the one to confess instead staying along the lines of “I like him but I think it’s best to keep it to myself.” Being content just being able to know Chilchuck at all even if it pains him at times.
While Chilchuck would just have a moment of realization that he’s head over heels. Just absolutely going insane trying to reason with himself before just coming to terms he’s in love with Laios. Finding himself miffed at everything Laios does and any of his small mannerisms and rants, just thinking in his mind “why did it have to be him” but not actually hating it. I feel like he’d be the one to confess preferring to have his feelings out there instead of bottling them up something he’s too used to doing.
I’m literally such a fake fan I just noticed the little window on his chest (T_T)
I was looking at Ryoko Kui’s new art and thought, “that’s weird, why would she add a gap in the armor in such a vital spot?” It’s meant to mimic the inverse scale being the dragon’s weak spot ,,,, amazing
I like to think as Chilaios modern AU as semi parental figures with Izutsumi like she primarily lives with Senshi but drops by their place from to time or just cause she’s bored and will just lay on top of them while they’re trying to go to bed but they don’t mind as long as she isn’t placing her feet on either of them
I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
