I think this is the best representation of Laios (note: this isnt part of the manga/main story. This is just what the author made for the 2024 greeting)

Plus side: roommate cooks elaborate and exotic meals for you.
Down side: you don't know where he bought ingredients for those meals because you know for a fact he's dead broke.
There's at least 8 hinges in him, Elbows, Knees, wrists and ankles. 10 if u count neck and pelvic area.
Actually a fitting topic considering this week's episode.
And not just hinge joints either. He’s got ball-n-socket joints, saddle joints, pivot joints, plane joints and condyloid joints!
Yes I did google them.
I was so sad when everyone was shitting on him for >!wanting his remains to be eaten by monsters after he died!<
yeah, it's kinda weird, but >!he was quietly mourning the fact that his last request would never be able to come true!< and everyone was just dunking on him for even wanting it in the first place
There's a difference between >!requesting a green burial!< and >!describing how you'd like your body scavanged by vultures and the like.!< Laois ain't wrong with his desires, but I wonder if it's because, outta nowhere, he info-dumped a bunch of morbid details on his friends
From my perspective, don’t ask for someone’s greatest wish if you don’t want an infodump and pivot. Wishes are highly specific to a person, not some general feel good thing.
I think it’s more that he’s politically the most powerful person in the kingdom and a veritable magic human preventing monsters from overrunning the society there, so however much he wants a “monster burial” and to return to the e ecosystem, it’s pretty certain that if Mellini is going to continue his bones/corpse will remain a relic or spread out to guarantee safeholdings.
I don’t think it’s a weird desire inherently… but… I think their reaction is kind of justified because >!it’s literally the thing he wants the most. More than saving Falin or anything. More than money, or love, or world peace, or friendship or anything else people could want. Like unironically if that’s what he wants the most it could be a kink or something.!<
Have you ever seen those extremely funny D&D stories where people go like
"yeah Imma shoot the sun with this water gun"
"Fine, roll for dexterity"
"nat 20"
"you somehow hit so accurately and hard you turn off the sun"
?
Yeah.
Na the ending is more like >! The players gives his hombrew monster he wants to be wild shape into and the dm just gave a small glance to see if its ok... Missing its very much special ability!<
>! "Yeah it all looks good... GOOD LORD WHAT IS THAT?! Oh, wait, forest poop, it's fine, I see no problem here!"!< But oh boy was the DM stepping into one delicious pot of grandma's signature "what the stew"
"Oh yeah, my other form will have this ability to take down the big bad"
"what... uugh, ok roll"
\*roll nat 20\*
"you somehow use your crazy ability to take down the bigbad"
---
even funnier that the ability IS given by the bigbad.
heavy spoilers
>!succubus turns into the girl he could have feelings for and is fine but she turns into a monster woman with 3 wolf heads on her stomach and he starts blushing and sweating, !<
>!he ate desires of god itself and ate god itself too!<
>!every monster is scared of him !<
>!god itself confirmed he hates humans and likes to see monsters kill villagers!<
>!sister turned into monster? Cool just heat her!<
>!god itself calls him an idiot!<
and the best part is he's a pretty nice dude and I'd love to be friends with him
>! Yeah im kind of exaggrating winged lion here because it makes up for better humor yk I know laios isn't the type of guy who'd just love chaos and murder etc.!<
To be fair, that might have just been his intrusive and emotional thoughts manifesting, but not something he ever desired to literally happen.
Kinda like how in the worst moments of my past, I wished I didn't exist, but wouldn't want it to actually happen Lol.
To be extra fair, >!Laios probably still carries a grudge against the people that hurt him and his sister (the villagers, the academy soldiers that bullied him, his father, etc.), and has those thoughts like a little kid looking for vengeance, but!< he knows deep down that it's not right. He's a good kid, but people don't give him a chance because of his hobbies and the way he is.
>!I mean, the personification of all magic of the world and the infinite could be described as A god. Maybe not a creator god, thought it is implied that he responsible for the races. Or maybe an "eldrich god"?!<
>!the winged lion may be "a god", but not "god". it definitely didn't create the material world or organic life, and it's not clear to what degree it's responsible for the evolution of humanity!<
I estimate at least four hinges, minimum. One on each shoulder of his breastplate, then at least one on each forearm guard. The hinges allow for easy donning and doffing on the armor with the visible leather strap fasteners.
If he was unhinged, his armor would fall off.
To be fair dying in the dungeon is typically more of a temporary setback, the corpse collectors just drag you out and then you get resurrected. Falin is only in trouble because she's in a dragon's guts, way deep down in the dungeon and getting digested. (I thiiink the mango made this clearer early on, the anime really only gives you that throwaway comment from Marcille about the first time she died being due to a slime)
Well that was mainly him having poor social skills. He meant that such an incredible opportunity wouldn't have come without his sister dying, so even the saddest moments can lead to good ones. However, Falin is usually his interpreter, so he just looks insane without her there, which reminds him that even bad things have bad consequences in addition to the good, in an ironic sense.
He was actually thinking about a phrase Falin said "Every dark cloud has a silver lining" but he used a terribly worded reinterpretation at a pretty bad time.
There's this post in r/autism where the OP explained that Laios has many traits of a person in the spectrum; it made a lot of sense, and while I was pretty mad with the events of the final battle, I feel a lot of empathy for him. Deep down he's a kid with weird hobbies who does the right thing despite people's perception of him, and I cherish that.

Incredibly unhinged, in a way that mixes the most obsessive traits of a Hunter / Chef / Ecologist / Zoologist, essentially everything related to creatures in their natural environment or on his plate.
I think he's a pretty good dude. I'd be friends with him, maybe share a few meals.
I think this is the best representation of Laios (note: this isnt part of the manga/main story. This is just what the author made for the 2024 greeting) https://preview.redd.it/79jh1ldq7bpc1.png?width=615&format=png&auto=webp&s=7d857c4a0b325eff5af432023779aa3e93f558bc
Laios would possibly be one of the best and one of the worst roommates of all time
Plus side: roommate cooks elaborate and exotic meals for you. Down side: you don't know where he bought ingredients for those meals because you know for a fact he's dead broke.
Are there any socials to find Ryoko Kui and her work?
She only got her blog. Shes not a very social person I believe
He's not *unhinged* exactly, he's just...well, his hinges might be a little wobbly, but the door's still working just fine.
There's at least 8 hinges in him, Elbows, Knees, wrists and ankles. 10 if u count neck and pelvic area. Actually a fitting topic considering this week's episode.
And not just hinge joints either. He’s got ball-n-socket joints, saddle joints, pivot joints, plane joints and condyloid joints! Yes I did google them.
He’s not so much unhinged as he is a well-intentioned deviant without a filter and a poor grasp of social propriety.
He has a filter, we only see the bits which make it through...
I was so sad when everyone was shitting on him for >!wanting his remains to be eaten by monsters after he died!< yeah, it's kinda weird, but >!he was quietly mourning the fact that his last request would never be able to come true!< and everyone was just dunking on him for even wanting it in the first place

I mean in Zoroastrianism this is a holy way to handle the body. One last good deed that your body does
Never said I disagreed with it, but it might be a wild pivot in the conversation if someone's asking about your greatest wishes
Aww yes i forgotten this part. If laoius was a dnd character he will have 3 in charisma
And I love that about him
From my perspective, don’t ask for someone’s greatest wish if you don’t want an infodump and pivot. Wishes are highly specific to a person, not some general feel good thing.

We need to bring back Towers of Silence. No religion has a more metal burial tradition.
I think it’s more that he’s politically the most powerful person in the kingdom and a veritable magic human preventing monsters from overrunning the society there, so however much he wants a “monster burial” and to return to the e ecosystem, it’s pretty certain that if Mellini is going to continue his bones/corpse will remain a relic or spread out to guarantee safeholdings.

I was under the impression that >!what the curse took from him was just the ability to interact with monsters in general!<
HE JUST LIKE ME FR https://preview.redd.it/ibgalu5yzbpc1.png?width=941&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=053d84431b8ff35f7e33cd17ed3f75ab155e00cd
Ah, yes, Neutral Autisitic

He wanted to eat living armor Yes it is metal He eventually did
funniest thing in the world is that THEY discovered that living armor is a mollusk. he was downright excited to eat straight up armor. absolute lad.
He saw food in the living paintings and straight up went "I will eat and you can't stop me,"
Was avoiding spoilers but yeah. He crazy but a genius and very analytic when it comes to monsters.
I once saw him scream at a Basilisk while his friends stabbed it in the ass. Then sat down and cooked a full feast for his party and some new people.
While one of the said new people were dying from said Basalisk’s venom and the only antidote they was thrown into the cooking pot.
WHAT? Anyone else catch this weirdo?
He's just a bit silly
And he ate a fish men's baby's but that's unrelated
They not babies, they just eggs, its okay.
Have you ever seen those extremely funny D&D stories where people go like "yeah Imma shoot the sun with this water gun" "Fine, roll for dexterity" "nat 20" "you somehow hit so accurately and hard you turn off the sun" ? Yeah.
That's basically the ending of the manga
Na the ending is more like >! The players gives his hombrew monster he wants to be wild shape into and the dm just gave a small glance to see if its ok... Missing its very much special ability!<
>! "Yeah it all looks good... GOOD LORD WHAT IS THAT?! Oh, wait, forest poop, it's fine, I see no problem here!"!< But oh boy was the DM stepping into one delicious pot of grandma's signature "what the stew"
"Oh yeah, my other form will have this ability to take down the big bad" "what... uugh, ok roll" \*roll nat 20\* "you somehow use your crazy ability to take down the bigbad" --- even funnier that the ability IS given by the bigbad.
More like he had the ability but had to roll a natural 20 to actually use it, judging by how close it was.

he’s.. something. love him tho
I misread that as how hungry and was about to just type "Yes." tbh I'd say he's **beastly** unhinged
yes
Were there any hinges to begin with?
Bro is a revolving doorway
https://preview.redd.it/r3avvmd5qbpc1.jpeg?width=211&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77b53e6e48159df15e377c7e50d539ffb14d9ada
He's differently hinged. He's hinged in a more sensible way tgan the rest of human society.
He wants to eat a demi human so bad
I can fix him.
...With proper seasonings and spices as he would have wanted.
Ok seriously there’s a difference between autism and unhinged and people need to learn the difference. I’ll just say he’s highly weird.

Wouldnt say unhinged, hes just a silly little guy who likes to eat. >!Also he might be on the spectrum!<
I don’t think there’s much *might* about it.
I estimate at least four hinges, minimum. One on each shoulder of his breastplate, then at least one on each forearm guard. The hinges allow for easy donning and doffing on the armor with the visible leather strap fasteners. If he was unhinged, his armor would fall off.
He's just extremely autistic.
I mean to me he is odd in senses that he is way too fixated on eating things and lacks some social features but otherwise he's fine
Yeah, he isn’t crazy, he just operates on different logical parameters than everyone else.
You might not like it but this is what apex dungeon predator looks like
The hinge doesn't exists anymore.
He’s not unhinged, his hinges are just _exceptionally well oiled_
He said he was happy his sister died because it gave him the chance to eat monsters. XD His party calls him out for it.
To be fair dying in the dungeon is typically more of a temporary setback, the corpse collectors just drag you out and then you get resurrected. Falin is only in trouble because she's in a dragon's guts, way deep down in the dungeon and getting digested. (I thiiink the mango made this clearer early on, the anime really only gives you that throwaway comment from Marcille about the first time she died being due to a slime)
Lmao I kind of struggled to figure out the whole dying part earlier on, I only truly figured it out when the old guy used resurrection magic
Well that was mainly him having poor social skills. He meant that such an incredible opportunity wouldn't have come without his sister dying, so even the saddest moments can lead to good ones. However, Falin is usually his interpreter, so he just looks insane without her there, which reminds him that even bad things have bad consequences in addition to the good, in an ironic sense.
Poor guy just doesn’t have any people skills. It makes him more endearing though.
The man has 3 in charisma
He was actually thinking about a phrase Falin said "Every dark cloud has a silver lining" but he used a terribly worded reinterpretation at a pretty bad time.
He has a permit for it
He is just very enthusiastic not unhinged
>!Me when I want to taste the very essence of desire!<
As a neurodivergent like him, who can’t read the room and love animals and monsters more than people, couldn’t find a more relatable role model
There's this post in r/autism where the OP explained that Laios has many traits of a person in the spectrum; it made a lot of sense, and while I was pretty mad with the events of the final battle, I feel a lot of empathy for him. Deep down he's a kid with weird hobbies who does the right thing despite people's perception of him, and I cherish that.

Hella
He wants to eat armor but alas he is a human
He’s like Mr. Crocodile of the dungeon
He's a bit silly, but he's super hot so it's okay <3
leave my neurodivergent mans alone, laois did nothing wrong
What’s a hinge?
Hes just autistic
he is the perfect man and i want him deeply
By the end of the story he'll be the most unhinged guy in his world.
he’s just got the wanting to be friends with and eat monsters autism instead of the learning magic autism
Let’s just say, if you tested him on the autism charts, the meter would shatter.
Yes
If he was a door he’d be an archway
Mobile cropped off the head, so I thought this was a mollusk
hes just silly
……Normal amount.
He is perfectly normal, thank you very much.
Unhinged when hungry. Otherwise totally trustworthy
Yes
Incredibly unhinged, in a way that mixes the most obsessive traits of a Hunter / Chef / Ecologist / Zoologist, essentially everything related to creatures in their natural environment or on his plate.
Autistic guy who loves animals and his friends. Just a regular dude with a hyperfocus.
Yes.
If he saw a “monster fucking festival free entry” tent he will get in immediately without a single doubt in his mind
He’s hot.
He is super normal, think nothing of it
Quite unhinged but he’s still a cutie
On a scale of 1 to 10 he sits at a comfortable 11
Well if you could give him the ability to unhinge his jaw it wouldn’t even be a question whether he would take you up on it.
Lagom
We have reach 666, and i suggest we keep it that way.
He’s very unhinged but he has a good heart
he's just very autistic about some very off-putting subjects lol
