Episode 52 - Goodbye. [FINALE]

Kerubim is so scandalized that he forgot about being sad for a second, while Joris is just... too lost in the sauce.

In the end, what made Kerubim take Simone's advice to heart, is Joris's sad face.

He loves him a lot.

Kerubim, internally: ABSOLUTELY NOT LIKE IN MY STORIES.

He really doesn't want Joris to go through The Horrors.

It must be so awful, being a parent, — knowing you can't protect someone forever, knowing that you've probably hurt that someone yourself.

...I'm insane about them. I should be put down like a rabid dog.

I think a lot about the two years they probably spent travelling the world, before settling down in Bonta. Perhaps, before what happened with Julith, living there was supposed to be a temporary thing too.

Kerubim is so giddy about teaching Joris the family business. He has been the whole series, but it never gets old, y'know?

They love each other a lot.

Crazy? I was crazy once. I watched this show. And this show makes me crazy.

He hasn't allowed himself to think of this being possible since settling down. He really tried not to.

But if they're moving on from this bubble of safety, where everything is always familiar, then anything is possible, isn't it?

They took the time to draw Julie's hair salon being closed down...

Even if I will rewatch it yet again, many times in the future, I will miss liveblogging this show a lot.

Yet again, I am thinking about the fact that they were connected to the canalization and water systems of the city. I wonder how much damage they caused by leaving like this. dfjgsfhgsfd.

This is going to be true for their whole lives, y'know?

No matter the distance or time, they have enough love for their friends to last for centuries.

And when their friends are long gone, they'll live on through their stories, — that's a type of immortality, too.

:)

And what a long, fantastic adventure it will be.

It's time to stop pretending like Kerubim's adventures ever really ended, and start moving forward again, — towards the future.

Even if it is a future their friends can follow them into, — even if they'll outlive them, because life is just a bit cruel, — it will be worth it.

Fly safe, Kerubim and Joris!

And SEE YOU NEXT TIME!

Yu looks really happy to find “a real weirdo” lmao

His sub version is so cuuute!

“He’s either really confident or really stupid.”

“He’d be number 1 either way!”

The fuck does that mean, Yu???

[flowersosa]

So let’s add Deanna to this list of characters I am violently aligned with created by @quiddie

“She was happy”

Mother fucker! I’m hurt, I’m crying, I’m throwing up!

C3 EP52 SPOILERS

This definitely feels like an unpopular opinion, but I'm not a fan of Aabriya joining Team Wildemount.

I never really vibed with her roleplay style (which just feels like Aabriya in a different wig per character a lot of the time) and after ExU, which I couldn't finish despite really trying (got to episode 5), I'm just. . . Not interested in seeing her at the table.

Which is totally killing me because I LOVE Chetney and I want to know all about his backstory. I was so excited for last night's episode that the fact I was zoning out or muting the session/reading subtitles whenever Deanna would give more than a few lines of dialogue is so depressing to me.

I love Deanna's concept (to a degree; her backstory feels bit all over the place for the sake of needlessly keeping Deanna young, in my opinion) and I genuinely want to enjoy the upcoming episodes with her in it, but her demeanor goes from 'Sweet Grandma' (despite lacking the experience of a grandmother because of her missing time) and 'Sassy twenty-something who wants to bone Chetney' (cute, but was she really that impacted by a fling when she went on to marry and have children? Is that an actual thing? I'm super in love with my wife and can't imagine yearning for an ex if she passed on. Plus, Chetney is as old as dirt, now) and 'I have a tragic backstory' where her voice changes into, in my opinion, Cringe Mode. Whenever Deanna brought up her past I had to mute the session and just read the subtitles.

I really want to like Deanna and enjoy her airtime while we have it. But, for the first time since campaign 3 started, I am so glad for the week break.

On the flip side, I absolutely love F.R.I.D.A. Yeah, he/they seem to butt their nose in where it doesn't belong (going after Chetney), but their consistent calm despite nearly getting merked by Wolf!Chet tells a lot to their character. Their manner of speaking is also so nice to listen to and I am SO here for potential Aeormaton bonding.

The Bells: You were dead for hundreds of years????

Deanna:

[tabbi-mysteries]

Episodes 1-101 Mouri Ran's Wardrobe

So many doodle ideas for Detective Conan and yet what I actually end up doing is cataloging Ran's various outfits...

Still she has a lot of cute ones and it's interesting to see them all, I'll probably continue. That said there's a lot so they're all just sketches but feel free to use as references.

[gracefireheart]

FCG: Maybe you should save it for someone who needs it though, is what I’m saying.

Deanna: I did.

Episode 52 - Goodbye. (part 1, out of 2.)

Judging from the clothes, this story happens after Ecaflip City. Yes, I am analysing a story that never gets told. This is my last chance to get really tin-foil hat-ty with this blog.

Not Joris leaning on the table cutely... 😭

Also, considering it is no longer snowing, I am assuming this takes place during spring. Therefore, in this episode, Joris is now eight years old! :D

Kerubim is probably feeling like he's going through his 20th platonic divorce. Even though Simone is literally leaving a job and he's her boss.

Everyone in this household is somehow traumatized by divorces, despite no marriage even taking place.

(coughs up blood) It's lore unfriendly if you don't draw Simone and Julie with matching rings. Preferably on their ring-fingers.

While there is something to be said about the fact that Kerubim is gentle here, and doesn't even seem bothered, — I think it's him putting on a brave face.

He probably feels like he's losing Simone. And, just like he is going to lose Simone now, he is going to lose Joris. Because Joris is bound to grow up and leave him, or go through a moody teenage phase.

And after that, are they going to have a good relationship? Is Simone going to visit him? Is Joris going to visit him? Is Joris going to have someone he loves more than him too...? He can't expect either of them to be a part of his life forever, — it's selfish, he already had his chances at companionship with Lou, Bashi, Indie, and Atcham, and he missed them all.

He can't expect them to be a part of his life forever — both metaphorically and literally. He couldn't have known that the dragon thing would extend Joris's lifespan.

And who knows, if Joris will even like or tolerate him anymore, once he's old enough to actually think.

The impact of this exchange only gets more emotional, if you consider the fact that Joris is now eight years old.

Simone is going to miss them too. It's probably why she wants them to start a travelling store, — so that the two of them can meet new people, form new connections, once she's gone, — and so that, perhaps, they could visit her too.

Chances are, the happy atmosphere is a bit painful. He has a lot of reasons to be sad.

He can't just live in a bubble where everything stays happy forever.

Joris's book he worked on the entire show...

This says "JORIS SECRET"

They will miss each other a lot.

OH GOD NO.

Of course the guy who grew up with Kerubim would think this is remotely okay. dfjgksfdg. One last moment of bashing Kerubim's parental skills for the road...

I love this show.

I love it with my whole heart.

If they make a second Dofus movie, and don't include Simone in it again, I am not responsible for my actions.

Not Joris playing with a rock...

He's so used to having Simone, that it feels lonely, to just be with Kerubim again. He hasn't had someone leave in his life, yet, either... This is a first for him.

Also, for the last time in this show, I will translate: the book still says "ALBUM PHOTO".

Just like the other times we've seen it.

I know Kerubim says that one has to rub it (and calls him a fucking noob), but listen. Listen. I have some pretty big news for Bob:

There's this little thing called "survivorship bias", and basically——

[johannepetereric]

I love the detail in the Japanese sub that Masamune’s yelling was muffled through the window

[chillinglikeashilling]

I will say on re-watching the episode I think a thing that got a little obscured after it first streamed is that Deanna and F.R.I.D.A don't actually agree completely on either the resurrection or the gods. Deanna is definitely having trouble adjusting to being alive again but it's F.R.I.D.A who calls it selfish. Who believes that it is unjust that she was brought back.

And I think that the implication of disagreement there is because I do think Deanna would understand why she was brought back. She doesn't sound angry when she says her husband kept a promise. When she's angry she can be a bit passive aggressive: see 'I didn't get a carved anything' or 'I can't see why he couldn't raise the kids.' She talks about the promise the same way she talks about dying. It happened, what's done is done. I think ultimately Deanna is just someone who's only had a year or two to adapt to come back from an existence that was fundamentally different to a life that is gone (or at least irreversibly changed).

Which is also the reason that she clings to the magic of the Dawnfather. I think as much as Deanna believed the gods may be seperate from the afterlife- she has to connect them very strongly with life. A cleric, a healer, someone who was literally brought back from the dead. F.R.I.D.A's take on the gods makes sense for me as a Aeormaton. They weren't created by the Gods. Regardless of whether the Gods love the beings they created or not- F.R.I.D.A is removed from that equation altogether. And even thinking of the beings that did create F.R.I.D.A - in theory there was no love there. F.R.I.D.A was made to fulfill a purpose. Being turned off was probably the first time since they were created that they were free of that purpose. To them not having to perform a function is equivalent to rest and peace.

I like the way Christian Navarro plays F.R.I.D.A it reminds me of Dorfl from Feet of Clay

they did not need to make this old man this cute

The Story of Minglan

Oh my god.

This is her mother and baby brother who died because of all you losers in this house. Not some petty grievance.

He's literally the worst.

***

LMAO, what does she mean, "No such thing happened!"

Everyone here was present for it! Who the hell is she lying to at this point?

With that said, looking at Sheng Hong's stupid face, it seems like he too is very willing to rewrite the past and act dumb about it and Minglan just has to go around reminding him of it.

***

Thank you, Rulan, for not going along with this gaslighting and confirming that the emperor is indeed naked.

***

You came at the BEST time!

Take her home and go no contact with all your shit family on both sides. You can keep Granny, Changbai, Rulan and Hualan, but disown the rest of them, please!

***

LMAO, did you think every man is your piece of shit spineless father that you can bully and manipulate? The world is much bigger than you!

Also, you have got to love how quickly he turns on her too when his shitty reputation is at stake. He's so weak.

***

LMAOOOOOO, HE DOESN'T KNOW!!

OH MY GOD, HE'S SUCH A DUMBASS 🤣🤣

Sure, your masculine prowess is so great, she just saw you by chance at the monastery and was OVERWHELMED with desire to have sex with you right then and there! And you were SO GOOD and your dick was SO GREAT, she had to keep coming back over and over, disguised as a maid! It had nothing to do with your wealth and status and social climbing at all!! 🤣🤣

***

Whomst?

She has been here all of two seconds and is already insulting Minglan. Is there not a single decent person in this shit family?

***

HOW ABOUT YOU WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN CRUSTY VAGINA AND STAY OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S SEX LIVES, HMM?

***

Wait, she what?

***

SHE HAS WHAT?

***

MTE!!!!!

WHAT EVEN? WHAT???

***

MINGLAN, WHAT DID YOU DO?

SO WHAT IF SHE IS A JEALOUS WIFE? SHE SHOULD HAVE SHOWN THEM JUST HOW JEALOUS, GOUGED THEIR EYES OUT, LEFT THEM TO BLEED TO DEATH AND THEN CALLED FOR GU TINGYE TO PROVIDE HER WITH A SHOVEL AND AN ALIBI!

***

ARE YOU ALL FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?

I WAS EXPLICITLY TOLD GU TINGYE WOULD HAVE NO OTHER WOMEN EXCEPT MINGLAN. WHAT IN THE ABSOLUTE FUCK.

***

IF HE DOESN'T WRECK SHIT RIGHT HERE AND NOW, I AM SO DONE WITH HIM AND THIS ENTIRE MARRIAGE.

***

MINGLAN, HAVE YOU LOST YOUR ENTIRE DAMN MIND?

***

OKAY, SOMEBODY SPOIL ME, WHEN DOES HE START MURDERING PEOPLE WITH OR WITHOUT MINGLAN'S HELP, I AM NOT PICKY 🤬🤬

I AM PISSED BEYOND WORDS.

***

WHY ARE YOU STILL ARGUING, TINGYE?

KILL, KILL, KILL, STARTING WITH HER SHITTY ASS.
