MIRUMISU PAINTINGGG

Milsiril get behind me

I will defend her with my life, She is a fucked up person and fucked up mother but she's not a evil mastermind and she is trying her best

Milsiril being postboxed into Kabrus adopted mom whos dehumanising shortlived races by adopting them and infantalising them makes me fucking miserable.

Here is a woman who was bullied her whole life, born in a long line of military hero's who after seeing the oppression of shortlived races by elves as well as the dismissal of their deaths withdraws from her military role, withdraws from her family and dedicates her life to creating a safe and comfortable environment for the shortlived race children who's parents are lost due to the elves inaction and oppression of said shortlived races.

Sure she's not the best at it, yeah she kinda bulldozed whatever the kids probably wanted in favour of putting them in bubble wrap and keeping them safe. But she's clearly trying to give them better lives than the ones they had, which she clearly feels responsible for ruining because of her races actions. When Kabru tells her his honest dream of destroying a dungeon she challenges him, she makes him work to prove himself and then she let's him pursue that dream. She, like every other character in the manga, is flawed in her views and her expression of said views to others, but that doesn't maker her a bad person. It just means she still has some learning and growing to do, and considering how much she still loves Kabru and feels responsible for his safety and happiness I have no doubt post manga she probably will learn to help shortlived races in a more constructive way through her involvement with Kabru in the Golden kingdom.

I think she's a genuinly interesting character and I wish people would take the time to consider her story and it's parallels to the real world (first worlders adopting third world children in hopes of giving them a better life but often inadvertently alienating them from their own culture through their own lack of understanding of those children's pasts and lives. As someone who lives in a third world country talking to people from first world countries is like talking to aliens sometimes and I think the discussion that could be had around Kabru and Milsiril could be genuinly interesting but everyone just wants to hate on her without genuinly considering her character and the impacts she's had on the story and opportunities for further character growth.... Milsiril save me.... Save me nuanced discussion....)

The appeal of MiruMisu / Mithmil is honestly like seeing two collegemates have their college drama and tension due to their personalities.

Then the incident happens that brings out something new and one helps take care of the other until they separate paths.

Then have them round back up together as more older adults and this time it's different. And they'll perhaps be less resentful of the world.

And Kabru has to deal with all that

Inspired by this post i would agree that there is a chance that milsiril would probably take care of thistle after the dungeon events

can we talk about how milsiril was like "oh you want to go to a dungeon? then I'm gonna train you"

so now kabru kills people without hesitation...

...but like... sucks at exploring dungeons
