Xiang Liu. Xiang Liu. Xiang Liu. Don't you have nine heads? How can you be poisoned so easily? Xiang Liu. Please don't die.

”Aibou” = “Partner”

Huh. It’s usually been used to refer to the main guy, like Shiro to Ichigo and Atem to Yugi.

Wow. That also makes sense!

Episode 31 - The Break

It will be so refreshing to liveblog an episode that isn't heavy on characterization or analysis, oh god, I am tired of typing words.

He is so sad and for no reason... I just want to wrap him in a heated blanket.

World's most serious case of Sads, finished off with an evil little glare.

I can imagine adult Joris doing the same thing to Kerubim even by Wakfu times. Just a cunty, unamused little gaze. I can see it so clearly. This will happen in season 4, mark my words.

Also, inside me are two wolves. One of them wants to say "perhaps it's unusual for Joris to not go hook line and sinker for whatever ideas Keke proposes", and the other wants to say "Joris and Kerubim having psychic vibe battles moment #5"

He is so unserious.

Joris loses this round in the game of mutual psychological manipulations.

(Guy who notices landmarks in this show voice) (Also, guy who, for some reason, has developed a parasocial relationship with this setpiece in a kids show voice) THE TOWER. THE FUCKING TOWER

I've already spoken on this topic, but Kerubim already being known to sell stuff and have strong opinions on the ethics of museums makes me so unwell. Especially with implications of the Crepin family being salespeople.

I am not going to elaborate. You've read my other posts. Just... yeah.

Can I get some love for non-Cra archers in this universe? The degree of unemployment must be hellish.

Also Lou has two swords, and Nella has two quivers. They are so normal.

Some may think that Kerubim is out of shape, but I will argue that this is his Farm Boy shape. His "not constantly on the road and fighting monsters while worrying about travelling supplies" shape.

He's still muscular, because Herding Animals is Serious Business, but he's got a bit of a gut going on, because there's no food insecurity, and the food he has is mostly meat and milk.

Considering old Kerubim also has the gut, — and is, notably, still very agile, — I think that this is just, like, Kerubim's natural shape when he's eating well and living like a normal person.

Sorry for overanalysing his body. I just wanted to talk about my "adventuring should be deconstructed as a concept and examined more closely, considering the multiple characters who had been ready to die "to become legends" about it. Like is all the trauma, food insecurity, and violence worth it, when the only way for people to truly respect you in this career, is to die in a cool way?" agenda.

The resemblance between young Keke in this episode and his older self is actually scary.

Say NO to alcohol, say YES to being a calcium-based lifeform.

I've never mentioned this before on this blog, but it's very likely that Kerubim is kind-of-sort-of accidentally implied to have an underbite.

It varies, whether he has his teeth in a normal bite, or an underbite, — and it is an art style choice, it happens to some other characters, albeit nowhere near as often as it does to Kerubim, — but, once you see it, and know what I'm talking about, you can't unsee it. Hell, it's on half the screenshots in this episode already!

Underbites are something that goes in families, which fits really well.

Because, like... yeah. That sure does seem like a family thing.

Together with the "pale-ish brown pigmentation around an eye or both eyes" thing, and the triangle-ish shape of their heads and snouts, Keke and Atch are the Bouba and Kiki of siblinghood.

Anyway, for transparency's sake, despite the underbite being one of Atcham's very notable character features, he is also sometimes drawn with a normal bite. Which might point towards Kerubim's underbite also being a genuine part of his character design, — instead of it being a case of animators liking the look of it a lot.

Personally, I like to think that both of them had been trying to fix his underbite his whole life by simply willing it away, and it's Not working.

If they actually realized they care about one another, and could be chill about it instead of immediately starting a Doomed Toxic Cottagecore Farm, Pangaea would reform.

Oh? You like Kerubim and Lou? Well, then, do you think Lou and Kerubim efficiently utilized girl power when they, Bontarians, went to their oh-so-hated Sidimote Moors and Brakmar, to conduct what they call a "slaughter-safari"?

This is not a Divorce Theory I usually subscribe to, but my funny crack theory is that she left him to go adventure around the world because he wanted to settle down and adopt a kid or whatever.

Truly, the possibilities of kerulou divorce theories are endless.

If they formed a polycule, Pangaea would explode.

I like to think that whatever Julith has going on is a cloak with a similar, but more complex enchantment.

This item is real, but I can't really find the sword mentioned by Lou moments prior.

I need to inject this image inside, intravenously.

...Anyway, you will never guess what my newest addition to the desktop wallpaper rotation is.

“Hermie if this is the worst problem you two have in whatever this relationship is, I think you’ll be fine.”….well after this episode….i don’t even know what to say…you get the point

[mollywauk]

Nott: I've seen that you are an excellent forger!

Jester: You've seen my work?

Nott: Well...

What's on your mind? Do you still think about that loser?

Why must you bring up Wang Jia Gui this often?

I've never seen someone who likes to demean himself like you do.

You..

This show seems to be the precedent for a LOT of MFB plots

Edit: I was wrong about part A, this is an organization that mighta inspired the (or inspired the inspiration for the Vindice), but still!

一別經年，別來無恙。

It has been awhile, how are you?

This phrase has two parts the first part is from the poem, 雨霖鈴(yǔ lín líng) by 柳永(liǔ yǒng) in 宋朝(song dynasty). And the later part is from 元曲選·凍蘇秦(yuán qū xuǎn · dòng sū qín). This is such an educated greeting. Well 七爺(Qi ye) is a king no wonder he is a noble man. This short sentence expresses so many meanings. The first part poem goes,

寒蟬淒切 對長亭晚 驟雨初歇 都們帳飲無緒

The cicadas are weeping sadly but the day fades into dark, the rainstorm pauses awhile. Outside of citywall, drinking my farewell away.

放留戀處 蘭舟催發 執手相看淚眼 竟無語凝噎

Unable to leave with brokenheart, the drink hastens my departing. Holding hands, watching your eyes filled with tears. I could not say a word, feeling choked.

念去去 千里煙波 暮靄沈沈楚天濶

I leave far far away, a faraway road of mist, the haze at dusk, the sky is endless.

多情自古傷離別 更那堪冷落清秋節 今宵酒醒何處

It has said, kind heart lingers longer with regrets. How would I bare this cold autumn valediction. Where to sober up from yesterday's drink.

楊柳岸 曉風殘月此去經年 應是良辰好景虛設

On the willow-tide hill. The sinking moon hangs in the wind at dawn. When a few years pass, the beautiful times and good scenery will be useless.

便縱有千種風情 更與何人說

Even if there are thousands and thousands of sceneries, who would I talk to.

This is a poem who is saying farewell to one's lover. The poet is famous because of his writing style that it doesn't have rhyme or rhythm with literacy itself. This modern style has started and grown with his poems. So it's really easy to understand as it describes the poet's situation.

The last part of it goes,

豈知你故人名望，也不問別來無恙。

When status and reputation grew, finally you ask my wellbeing.

Here it is uesed for mocking but if you had watched chinese contents you must have heard of it “別來無恙 (biàn lái wú yàng)” which means “how have you been?” it's literal mean is “recently, no illness?” It is widely used in 漢字文化圈(chinese character culture boundary) as greetings.

So gethering those two phrases, we haven't seen each other for long, how have you been? And also because of the poem, it intends they had parted against their own wills. I'm sure Zhou zishu and Qi ye, they know the meaning, what about Wen kexing?

Please look at Wen kexing's expression, when I have never seen Zhou zishu smiles that big, Wen kexing has weird face expression! 🤭 He must understand and notice where 經年 is from.
