I like my coffee with cream and lsd.
Haha the scene with the lion eating super expressively reminded me sooooo much of Big Mom eating her wedding cake.

Thistle's 1000 year old desires must have been amazingly delicious!

Thistle getting his desires eaten looked weird-
Like an almost obscene scene.

so this was def more setting up marcille taking the dungeonmaster role. whether that is now or later post aftermath of laios taking it now or whatever i am not sure, but long before laios name was even in the running i thought it was going to be her. plus she had the scene with the winged lion already before

If there was anything holding Marcille back from marrying Falin it was the prospect of having Laios as a brother in law but as this chapter shows, that's no longer an issue

I think Laius is being set up as the Dungeon Master and Marcille is going to oppose that and the lion.

Yeah, I actually felt like this chapter helped to establish that Laios has a solid talent for magic and is a pretty quick learner, to make the whole idea of him turning into Dungeon Master (who has to know some magic) seem less far-fetched.

Still feel like we're due for some other kind of swerve since it seemed like the Lion was much more interested in Marcille after talking with her

The title has a double meaning now huh.

Also the idea of Laios as a full fledged mage is terrifying.

Yep, and her desire seems like it would be much stronger.

Like it to me its either that or she takes the position in the ending someway after whatever is going to happen now that doesn't involve the demon stuff. that would like let her avoid canary punishment

laios' obsessions are things he can actually pursue himself. marcille wants something that would fundamentally change the entire world and is completely impossible. the scale is completely different.

Laios (and this feels weird to say) also has more of a mental backstop. He'll still plunge ahead with bad ideas, sure, but people have talked him down in the past. Meanwhile, Marcille is committing a lot of actions that would get her sent to the Canaries if the wrong people heard about them, which suggests a stronger desire.

Oh I didn't realize we had a thread for this, sweet. I finally read through this a couple weeks ago and haven't stopped thinking about it since, what a masterclass this series is. The amount of care put into it is up there with some of my all-time favorites, I adore the artbooks stuff that's been put out so far. Nothing but good poo poo to say. Hurray!

Possibly. Expect it if we get another chapter titled "Winged Lion" or "Demon" or something (though its first appearance had the title "Winged Lion", so maybe not).

On that topic, these last five chapters were titled "Thistle I-V".

(So far, unless I missed something there are only 6 chapter titles that aren't either things that weren't eaten by the end of the chapter or series of chapters, or the cooking methods for preparing those things. 5 if you count the hag Izutsumi was cursed with as being "cooked", despite it being made of paper and not actually eaten.)
