Journal with Witch Ep. 12: An atypical family

Apparently, Makio and Emiri’s mother are lunching, so Asa tries to invite Emiri over to hang out. Unfortunately, her friend continue to brush her off. Emiri is likely busy spending time with her girlfriend. It’s the classic scenario where you’re in the honeymoon period of a relationship, so everyone else in your life just fades away from existence. But at the same time, Asa hasn’t exactly been the bestest of friends. She has taken and taken and taken — and understandably so due to recent tragedy in her life — but this can drain the people you care about, the people who are trying their best to support you. So sometimes, two friends need to put some space between them so that the friendship can breathe again. I hope that when this is all said and done, Asa and Emiri will at least hash out where things currently stand for them. Even if it ultimately leads to the dissolution of their friendship, they should at least try to understand each other.

Frieren Ep. 37: When in doubt, ask yourself what Himmel would’ve done

Frieren’s party reaches a village that is busy reconstructing many of its homes. Apparently, a dragon did all this. In fact, there’s a whole ass nest of dragons living nearby. Frieren even remembers her old party having to run away from a flight of them. Yo, stop living in dangerous places. “But our homes!” is such a weak excuse. It’s not just your lives you’re endangering. It’s also the lives of the people who have to come all the way up here to help you, i.e. the adventurers whom you’re about to petition to get rid of said nest. I’m going to keep putting my hand on the stove, and you need to keep bringing me to the hospital when I do! It’s asinine! And even if and when the adventurers succeed, it’s not a permanent solution. Frieren‘s universe feels video gamey at times, and that includes respawning mobs.

Sentenced to Be a Hero Ep. 11: Boojum lets me down

When we last left off with Xylo and gang, a bunch of people had decided to shelter in place instead of evacuating the city. As a result, our heroes, who are already short on manpower, have to protect these folks against a seemingly unending horde of faeries. So as you can imagine, it would help a lot if the civilians could lend a hand and fight for their lives. It doesn’t take long before Rhyno offers his two cents on the matter. He definitely thinks like a Demon Lord. “Oh, you consider this unethical?” Bro, c’mon. How long have you pretended to be human? You still haven’t picked up on basic human ethics? Then again, there are actual humans around us who still haven’t picked on basic human ethics.
