the ABCs of KEH: H IS FOR… HANDS

He just took my hand and squeezed it. And just knowing that those hands were there to take care of me — that was enough.

Still thinking about this, he’s so happy, and the fact that he thanks you twice of his own accord as well? Sending me to the moon

When Sein was first introduced, I was a little worried because I loved the dynamic between Frieren, Fern, and Stark so much, and I thought we didn't need another character potentially messing that up. But, I was worried for absolutely nothing because I fell in love with his character almost immediately and he rounds out the group beautifully. They all play so well off of one another and he really feels like he belongs, even if he was only around for a short while.

I guess the point of all this is that I really miss Sein...

stardust crusaders 🤝 journey to the west

a group of five (give or take) - including a trickster who had previously fought immensely powerful enemies - has a clear westward destination in mind, but keep being waylaid by various baddies who put them into Situations along the way

also, piss is occasionally plot relevant.

there's an essay jumbled up in my brain about dunmeshi's beginning and how clever and deceptive it is as a sleight-of-hand trick that distracts the audience from the depth and scope of the worldbuilding and foreshadowing that's being set up the entire time by dangling zany characters and wacky dishes and biology fun facts in front of us, and how that serves to catch invested viewers off guard when those elements come to the forefront, but also how it works against it with other viewers wanting "more" and not seeing it because the plot bait isn't laid out up front

how people getting frustrated with the characters "not taking things seriously" is mirrored and refuted in the confrontation between Laios and Shuro. how the characters' attitudes aren't just a result of shallow low-stakes "comedy rules" where nothing matters, but are an extension of their personalities (Laios's nonstandard expression of emotions being offputting even to people he knows) and the world and social environment (adventurers being desensitized to death and injury because resurrection magic is commonplace). the way the party refers to "saving Falin" instead of "retrieving Falin's corpse," indicating that they still see her with full personhood, and how that phrasing leads to some readers/viewers believing that Falin is alive in the dragon's stomach, conscious of being slowly digested while the party carelessly fucks around "wasting time." how the weird tonal dissonance makes sense in-universe and yet is deliberately challenged more and more the deeper the party goes

all the character building and pieces of lore slowly weaving together the shape of the larger world, laying the groundwork for the major themes that will surface later. so much is right there in the "low-stakes" early episodes if you know what you're looking for (or pass the perception checks).

it can be so satisfying to see new viewers/readers pick up on the clues even in the earliest "simple" episodes, or notice new things and make connections yourself....and it can also be frustrating to see people dismiss oddities and dissonance as shallow or bad writing because they don't expect a "cooking anime" to have depth like that. why try to question and understand and peel back the layers when you don't expect there to be any layers?

why can't laios take things seriously for once?

So I got another art trade and thats with @fluttershyflores2 although they didn’t know what they wanted and let me do whatever I want and I remember they are planning their oc flor to meet yaundi because both of them share the same parents (different is that flor was adopted while yaundi is blood related to them) but still

So I decided to make a drawing of flor meeting her niece fruity aka our little qi spirit due to him being the son of yaundi

Flor gets to know her little nephew how he is practically a little precious lad who is a very powerful kid and needs to eat lots of fruit to keep his strength and magic going (and that he really loves fruit and is a huge foodie)

And I think these two would get along very really well and fruity would love hanging out with his aunt and such

I hope you like it flores!

The Trouble With Gimli:

*Context: During Legolas and Gimli's stay to Tol Eressea in the Undying Lands, many had changed. The two would reunite with Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Gandalf and the High Elves (Galadriel, Celeborn, Elrond and Celebrian). Then, with help of the Valar, Legolas would meet and marry the Wingildi of the Bay Of Bafalas, Nenselde (of the LOTR Trading Cards). This union would result in a daughter, Marillalote. All the while, Thranduil, Tauriel and the last of the Mirkwood elves migrated to the Undying Lands.*

Gimli: *runs in the room with baby Marillalote in his arms* Legolas! Nenselde! I have great news!

Legolas: What news, old friend?

Gimli: Wee Marilla's got the true makings of a dwarf! I just taught her the greetings of my people and she's a natural!

Nenselde: Aaw! She's said her first words?

Gimli: Nope! Better than that!

*LATER*

*As Legolas, Nenselde and Marillalotte are being visited by Gandalf, Elrond, Celeborn, Celebrian, Elrond and Thranduil...*

Thranduil: *as he holds Marillalote* Hello, Lotte-Nin. Did you miss your grandfa-

*Thranduil is met with a hard headbutt by Marillalote.*
