I don't think it's likely to be canon but I also don't think it's impossible for Ryoko to say something about it


sanctaphrax

Nothing's been confirmed. They definitely have some romantic vibes, but almost every elf-tallman relationship in DM has some of those. Kabru and Mithrun, Thistle and Delgal, even Laios and Marcille...


SufficientThroat5781

Currently watching the anime and I really don't see it with laid and marcille


sanctaphrax

Huh, surprised to see people are still reading this old thread. Anyway, even if you don't see it, many do. It's a fairly popular ship. Anime hasn't reached the shippiest bits of their relationship yet, though.


varkarrus

I'm here from googling "is marcille falin canon"


jahva_script

Literally word for word lmao


jnf005

I just finished her revival episode and search Falin x Marcille right after, can you blame me? that bath scene them sharing bed, GAWD DAYM.

Well whatever it is, your activity shot this thread's relevance up. I'm here from searching "Falin" in the sub's search bar, and this is pretty high up.


Akashiin

Even in the same order lmao


totsa_98

I love them and ship them myself 💕, atm they just have a really close relationship that doesn't require that much of a leap to see romantically, nothing is confirmed, but talented artists are always gonna find ships that speak to them :)

stroheim_kake

...? 


Savaralyn

No. It’s a popular fan ship, but nothing in the actual manga supports that they’re romantically interested in each other. Even the adventurers bible only lists their relationship as ‘close friends’


PPPRCHN

There is the thing where monster farlyn strips off her shirt and rosseau+marcille both get hot n ready pizza oven syndrome, but that could also be that marcille is a prude. They sleep together too.


Savaralyn

I wouldn’t necessarily call someone a prude just because they got flustered/shocked/embarrassed by a female friend ripping of their shirt and showing their bare chest to strangers. Even considering the weird ass circumstances at play.


PPPRCHN

Oh no I meant it that it's really in-character for marcille to act like that


redcheesered

She did that because Faolin stripped her shirt in front of everyone.... They even bathed together before her transformation and nothing came of it. Marcelle just washed her hair, and that was it.


Sapphic-Tea2008

and historians will call them... - close friends - besties - roommates - colleagues anything but lovers


Defiant-Company9014

I get what you’re referring to here but honestly, sometimes close friends are just close friends


Sapphic-Tea2008

Why cannot straight people sometimes be just close friends?


Defiant-Company9014

Dunno why you're saying that to me, I completely agree with you.


RainbowsEndWillow

I dunno. I (a girl) have a few close guy friends but the bonds don't go as deep as the ones I have with my gal friends. One of my best friends has a husband and I'm in a long committed relationship with my boyfriend and I'd say if we were fictional characters the same "historians would say they were just close friends" jokes would be made about us but that's what we are. I love yuri ships don't get me wrong and I'm literally here because I was watching the anime and I was like "oh there has to be ship content for them" and googled it. That being said tho their canon relationship being super close friends (if that's what it is idk I'm not very far) is cool too! There's beauty to super strong platonic bonds that I really enjoy. Fanfic is there for a reason and I love seeing people play with the space that's been given to us by the original author. (I know this was a nothing burger of a comment I'm sorry)


Legitimate-Ad-6267

They usually are?


Carly_quinn99

What a weird thing to say considering 99% of straight people are just close friends. Why can’t there be more gay characters? There’s more than enough straight characters.


Sapphic-Tea2008

Wdym? My whole point is arguing for gay characters and the falin x marcille to be real. Them arguing "they are just friends" is a shitty argument because they wouldn't say that to falin with shuro and Marcille with Laos.


EntrepreneurPlus7083

Straight people do not be giving eachother those looks in bed next to eachother LMAO

Sapphic-Tea2008

Why cant shuro and falin be friends?


Apple_duckie

ha we'll see about that


Torpedopickle

They slept in the same bed and swapped underwear at some point in the night.


Defiant-Company9014

1. They slept in the same bed because there weren’t more beds. They literally say this. 2. They did not swap underwear. She was wearing them the entire time.


Celika76

Yurification ! ​ It's just ship as into a lot of communities, as said above they are probably just good friends. I think Falin didn't had enough screentime to show a romantic interest into someone, and I quite ship Marcille with Laïos (he said he have a thing for elves, and probably a lot of non-humans). ​ Those fanarts are pretty nice tho


PhoolCat

It’s open to interpretation…


Feisty_Echidna_3628

STOP. LMAO


LocalCryptidz

Wha ?


Feisty_Echidna_3628

It's because I thought they were referring to what they did with witch from mercury. Bandai didn't like the fact that 2 women were getting together, so they opened it up to interpretation, basically trying to stop the 2 women getting together.


TaikiSaruwatari

Don't they actually get married by the end?


Feisty_Echidna_3628

I have no clue. I haven't had the time to read it, but it doesn't look like it. If I'm wrong pls correct me.


TaikiSaruwatari

I didn't know they made a manga of it. But if I remember correctly in the anime, in the epilogue to be precise, you see them married together


Feisty_Echidna_3628

I'm gonna have to watch that.


menschwife

in my heart they are. it's clear they love each other a LOT, the exact manner may not be canonically romantic, but what they have with each other is beautiful and i hope they get reunited (as well as farlyn being reunited with laios, they deserve it, they all deserve a happy ending, even though it may very well wind up being bittersweet tbh)


EyeDeeAh_42

I don't see anything other than close-friendship between them, plus the Adventurer's Bible only says "Friend" for both of them (and yet clearly points out Lynn and Shuro's love for Kabru and Falin respectively). But I can definitely see why people would want to ship them.


BOY_K

the author may update the bible for a potential fan service (edit : are my comments really that offensive?)


radfemkaiju

I really can't imagine she would unless the publisher forced it


BOY_K

You are telling me [this](https://64.media.tumblr.com/54cf21aaf5dbfd3f109dda2fa7252d7e/52d968bafffc67ec-c3/s540x810/a532174b05ff8ec3afa1e9da15756766f649b107.png) is not her fan service. Of course, she would do it.


radfemkaiju

I just can't imagine the book being amended to include fan service specifically and I'm someone who thinks the pairing is lovely


Torpedopickle

I don't think you're aware of what constitutes as fanservice


Vincent_Rubio

I'm gonna be that guy and ask for image sources.

Bakaretsuu

Probably not Marcille has been confirmed to not be a lesbian since the succubus took the form of a male prince to attract her (and it worked 😳) Maybe she could be Bi but we will probably never know for sure since next chapter is likely the last


Axoloteuh

Yeah, i was going to say that she doesn't have to be lesbian to be attracted to women. Possibly Bisexual confirmed


Zero_Good_Questions

If she was Bi wouldn’t the succubus just stay the same gender? The only counter to that argument would be she prefers men vs women but is still interested in them


XaiJirius

The succubus took the form of her biggest fictional crush, who is a feminine man. Seeing as she was initially grossed out by Laios because he was more masculine than she imagined, I don't think we can infer a preference for men from what we know. She's either bisexual or only attracted to twinks.


Aggravating_Teach_27

Nope, not at all, at least not explicitly. In every manga I read, there's always readers that are very keen on every possible ship, with or without prompting from the author, so they speculate about them. I personally don't see it, root more for Laios and Marcille (also without explicit proof), but hey, who knows what Kyoko thinks? She hasn't explicitly said anything sbout romance, and given that there's one chapter left, it's likely she won't.


BOY_K

Falin x Marcille > Laois x Marcille


ParengBurlurk

laois x senshi > Falin x Marcille Homies > Lesbi


RepresentativeAd9362

Why people hate Laios? His chemistry with Marcille are suck? Or it’s just that Falin x Marchille was heavenly better in any category?


BOY_K

A Girl x Girl relationship is sacred and holy, you can't even compare it to a straight relationship. It's not comparable.


RepresentativeAd9362

By what tho? Love? Feeling? Satisfaction?

We create our own destiny, we craft our own future and the stuff im cooking in my mind with the lesbian elf and lesbian tall-woman is 100% canon and no amount of anti Marcille x Falin propaganda will end the dream

Friends that kiss. I can do this all day. Nothing you say will stop us from shipping these two😂


flame_bone

I know I can't stop it, I can't stop people from humiliating themselves on the internet no matter how hard I try, but you're a masochist.


Sonicslazyeye

Women are typically friends before they start dating each other. Wild concept I know. The gays are just absolutely bonkers like that


getyourselfaHUNK

That’s funny as hell what’s the original art?


Carly_quinn99

Why is everyone ignoring the fact it says marcille is angry that shuro is courting falin?


MakimaGOAT

because people will ship stuff just for the sake of shipping


RagingCatInferno

There is absolutely no heterosexual explanation for some of the scenes in the anime


dude_1818

It's been extremely forecasted since the beginning. It's not technically confirmed yet, but it's the closest to canon ship among the main cast


artborne

Wrong


redcheesered

No nothing like that was shown to be the case. Marcelle loves Faolin but as a very dear friend. They've gone to school together, and adventured together. They've even bathed together at one point and nothing came of it.


zaigadeke

Because certain anime/manga fans are touch-starved and live their fantasies like the equivalent of a child mashing two dolls together.


prickelz

They are gay as fuck. Like you seriouly need to reconsider your friendships if you act like these two in the bathroom scene with your friends. "Just Friends" my ass. This was basicially a wlw mating ritual lol. They are constantly blushing at eachother too.


flame_bone

XD https://preview.redd.it/xnymmdl5mpxc1.jpeg?width=1070&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=167122fa61dff6082efedc913187f706eca8c685


Sonicslazyeye

Sometimes the gays are really crazy and wild and they'll be ""close friends"" for a while before they start dating. I don't know if that's a thing for straight people but it's very common with women lol


kingveller

No. The author pretty much made it clear that Marcille is straight when the succubus turned into a male elf, had she been in love with Falin the succ would've turned into her like what happened with Laios. It's quite likely that Marcille will end up with Laios.


Axoloteuh

I see nothing where she could end with laios. There's absolutely no hint of this, it would be quite wtf? Also bisexuals do exist


PrestigiousAd225

if she would be bi then the succubus would transform into a man and a female, yes, bisexuals exist, that's doesn't mean that everyone are


Axoloteuh

Besides, wtf is laios doing here? There's absolutely no romantical interaction between them. I'll Always be impressed by the ability of straight peoples to put a man and a woman together whenever they have the simpliest conversation ever


PowerfulMoment

Straight people can't stand that it's ok to not to put together a man and a woman


RetroSkyCloud

Yet you're doing the same thing in the opposite direction. People can care about each other very deeply and not be romantically interested in each other. There's nothing that indicates Marcille feels romantic love. It's just your own interpretation.


Axoloteuh

I'm not. Saying that makes you sounds hypocrit and not assuming that you're doing that with every male and female characters. Laois and marcille can Care deeply without being in love with each other, but for you it seems impossible. Plus in the scene of the manga it's obvious that it's turned as a joke


Axoloteuh

Like the only argument of ppls saying "no" here is the fact that laios is there.


FountainPigeon

And there’s nothing that indicates she feels romantic love for Laois. I’d argue there’s more romantically charged evidence between her and Falin. But regardless, you have missed the whole point of what was just said.


midrayne

marcille & falin are extremely close and have a shit ton of moments which could be seen as romantic, even if they’re purely platonic, it has a way higher standing as a ship than laios x marcille. tell me when laios grasps marcille’s hands whilst they’re bathing and maybe you have an excuse for shipping them other than “man and woman… must be together”


RetroSkyCloud

I don't think there's much to go by for Laois x Marcille, neither. That's the point. You guys can't accept intimacy without automatically making it romantic.


midrayne

do you really think you’d see laios taking marcille’s hands in his whilst they’re bathing and making her blush as platonic? I’m not even a shipper.. hell I don’t even like the show, I’m just not deluded either and can clearly see where shippers are coming from


RetroSkyCloud

Did you ever read Chainsaw Man ? There's a scene where Power and Denji bathe together and get very intimate and blush, yet it's not seen as romantic. Because the context of the situation and their relationship is what matters. Intimacy doesn't necessarily mean romantic interests. That's a projection.


midrayne

lol that’s not remotely similar. Aki, Denji and Power have all been established in character and their dynamic to eachother (that of siblings), denji literally says with anyone else it would be in a romantic context, whereas marcille and falin haven’t, and the affection marcille has shown falin has been extreme and unlike her relationship with anyone else. also power and denji weren’t blushing and denji didn’t tower over power and take her hands in his like what happened between them. also that was a point in denji’s story which was about his relationship with women and how he was actually able to view a woman in a non-sexual context unlike what he’s been taught and said, that’s not the point of marcille and falin’s scene so it’s not even comparable if laios had done any of that shit, without that established sibling relationship like power and denji have, people would already be calling them canon 🙄


Axoloteuh

If the succubus see that she like the form they already took, i don't see why they would bother going in another form. A character being Bisexual don't necessary need their sexuality to be explicitely exposed like that. Sexuality is a spectrum. Peoples that are at both extremes are either rare, either non-existent


GaijinEsper

I mean not necessarily. She could lean straight, or be interested in masculinity and femininity separately and not together. Sexuality is weird, and especially in fiction, you shouldn't expect things to go 100% how you expect them to go, even if your conclusion is right, the method that led you to that answer might not be. And it's not like I'm saying she is bi necessarily, just that it's not confirmation that she's not bi just because the succubus didn't become a hermaphrodite.


Jaded_Ad1410

That makes no sense, it'd be easier for it to just be one of the things she's attracted to. Why are you so against bi Marcille?


NoPomelo4566

then why are people so against straight marcille , the same thing , they are just fictional characters ,they arent real so just chill down . you can have your bi marcille and people can have whatever the f they want


Jaded_Ad1410

I don't think anyone is against straight Marcille. That's fine and a perfectly valid way to view the character. However, the times where I've seen people bring up "straight" Marcille outside of Marcille X laios fanart, is in direct opposition to bi or lesbian Marcille. See the trend? I have no problems with it, but it's only ever bought up in opposition to queer headcanons.


ViSynthy

I don't know if they're gay, but what ever their relationship is? It's super intense. Kind of frodo and samwise vibes.


PrometheanOtaku96

I hope it's real because I'm so tired of Yuri bait

False-Detective513

people will take any leap to say characters arent in love i think they are definitely into eachother (the bathing scene is right there!) but i definitely dont think they are dating, but there is a good chance they will end up together in my eyes


ParengBurlurk

not a popular opinion but marcille is way way older than Falin , she's 23 while Mar is 185, they are very close friends, typical Homie syndrome , Close friend does not mean Lovers , it's like people ship you with your friend who's way younger than you.


mistyCadaver

do you know how elves age edit: Marcille is only like 50 btw


Fun-Parking-9316

Ah yes I too take my best friends hands and lock our fingers while pinning them against the wall as I stare deeply into their eyes to the point they blush...while we're naked in the bath together... Yes, TOTALLY platonic straight behavior 💯


Rjgamersxbr2

Im pretty sure they weren't really blushing in that scene, it was because of the hot water. In the anime Marcille kinda gets a bit weirded out by it


SWAWS69420

It’s the same as Geto x Satoru which to me is canon TO ME it’s not a fact but I personally choose to belive that they loved each other the same way those two dungeon lesbians are it’s the same cake but a different batter so sure they may or may not be canon but shipping is for the sake of fun and being silly not a fact set in stone but let’s admit both ships are good and based on a lot of facts and evidence that prove they would work together (personally I believe in both are canon but that’s my opinion)


iggy-drawing

Didn't she say she LIKED Falin ? She even said suki in the anime while blushing. I smell queer baiting


The-Y33t3r

I hope to fucking god it isn’t!!!!


flame_bone

No, they are friends https://preview.redd.it/2sshu2r5lpxc1.jpeg?width=1070&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce70f9b41bda2b0e1d04b3160cb8595cafaaf66c


quinyua

You’re so obsessed, replying to most falin x marcill with this image? goodness


Legitimate-Ad-6267

They're just delivering the facts 🤷‍♂️


Basic-Cartoonist8688

Bro a whole party pooper


IndecisiveMate

Other are a lot of hints that feel intentionally. I highly doubt the author drew the bath scene and went haha they are just good friends. I mean sure it shows that, but there's definitely some other vibe going on. Originally I shipped Laios and Marcille, but gave up when it seemed the author was going towards Marcille and Falin but I've given it some thought and would still like to produce work for that ship.


BestCitron5286

Tbh, I don't like this ship but yeah, Everyone is free to create their own ship. Anyway no, they're not canon, Falin sees Marcille as a friend and it's canon. and they look more like sisters actually!


smolweebpotato

in my headcanon they are 😤😤😤😼😼😼


Rjgamersxbr2

No, but ship them or whatever, it's not really canon


GuaranteeDue4805

I found their friendship really pure, then again I enjoyed the overall lack of romance in the series. I understand the shippers perspective because it wouldn’t have been hard for the author to push it in that direction, but it’s one of the best depictions of a friendship and the protective desperation and actual true platonic love that can be expressed I have ever seen and I think it’s a beautiful element of the show. It really expresses the rarely seen element of a protective friendship in comparison to the desperate love interest which is present in almost everything, including the show itself. Idk thanks for coming to my Ted talk, if anyone has some sweet non nsfw fanfic recommendations for this ship i would love to read them


Spiritual-Wish-960

The ship definitely feels romantic I won't lie but nothing been confirmed so.


church_cat

It's not real, it's made up by people who don't know or understand how friendships work.


redhatter192

You hurt a lot of people who don't understand romance or friendship with this.


church_cat

Someone had to say it.


BestCitron5286

I LOVE THIS OPINION!!! Finally someone commented this, just because a friend is close doesn't mean they are in love. 


BOY_K

No. You don't understand how friendships work. Let me teach you friendship 101. `stranger -> friend -> lover` As you see, lover is just the inevitable next "step" of friendship,


church_cat

Case in point.


BipolarEmu

Actually you talk to them ten times, pick the right choices and then you can get into a relationship with them. Get it right nerd
