Yup, I’m feelin’ it too, buddy.

Journal with Witch Ep. 5: An offbeat teen rebellion
Asa used to watch musicians perform on TV, and her mother would tease her about possibly liking one of the guys onstage. The girl insists, however, that it’s the song she likes, not not any of the performers. Maybe she’s embarrassed, maybe she’s not. Maybe she just actually likes the music. But this is something parents seem to do a lot. My parents were the same way. I guess it’s fun for them or something. And because they provide for you, or because they’re higher up on the family hierarchy, they feel like this should give them carte blanche to do a little “harmless” teasing every now and again. I dunno, I think it’s shitty to make someone uncomfortable for your own amusement. Yeah, the kid will get over it, but that’s not a good argument in and of itself.

Frieren Ep. 31: Nobody actually knows anything
Frieren’s been teasing an onsen since the first episode of the new season, but her sense of time is so different from ours. Her “[it] used to be here” could mean anything. Girl, be specific. Rather than “Where’s the village?” how ’bout we start with “When’s the last time you’ve been to the village?” Ten years ago? Twenty years ago? Well, in this specific case, only “over thirty years ago.” But that still means the village is long gone by human standards. But for some odd reason, Stark remembers hearing a thing or two about the legendary hidden hot spring deep within the mountains, so… all hope is not lost? I dunno, I don’t really care about hot springs. I don’t really care about seeing these characters get naked and jump into one either.
