Switzerland has issued a stamp that celebrates concrete, and it has been printed using cement pigments.

I feel that with this latest episode it’s more obvious the emphasis on physical damage in Protocol. You pay with your body, you change yourself, you give blood to this entities so that you might reap a benefit.

There’s the self harm in ep.2 and this one, the doctor in ep.3 changing completely into a tree, the violin from 4 always takes blood in one way or another, the guy from the liminal spaces ended up with one finger missing, we have the descriptions of mangled bodies from ep.9 and 12

It feels like nothing can stay under the surface anymore. You will become a living tapestry of your life and it will be the norm rather than the exception.

The ending of Hilda is hialrious actually.

Local science aunt menace who was exiled to a windmill and then later threw herself into purgatory, kidnapped a baby once, made a zombie, and almost killed an entire town twice creates teleportation technology over the course of one afternoon and then proceeds to immediately and willingly sell her soul to the queen of the fairies not twenty seconds after that.

It is implied that the fairy queen got the short end of the stick on that deal.

Also Sam keeps getting he/they'd and now Alice has referred to him as a woman I think perhaps Sam may be gender as fuck actually, like canonically

Bad idea: Age gap discourse but in a fantasy land where there's multiple races who have vastly different lifespans and life styles.

Is it wrong for a 27 year old human to date a 140 year old stone elf, considering most stone elves don't get out of diapers till their 30s?

Is it wrong for a 80 year old dwarf to date a two year old fire wisp, when fire wisps only live up to 5 years (between the eruptions) and have memories of their past lives, so in a way they're "born" at age 400,000+? That octogenarian dwarf is way younger than the fire wisp that's only physically younger than some of the socks the dwarf has!

Is it wrong for a chronomancer who was never born to date, well, anyone? They are zero years old and infinity years old and negative one hundred and seventeen years old all at once. They look like an old human, sure, with the long white beard and the wrinkly skin, but as far as anyone can tell, they've always looked like that. We've seen the cave paintings.

Is it wrong for a 30 year old lizardman (that's old in lizardman years) to date a human who is 60 years old in biological years (because of aging spells), 26 years old in lived-experience years, but only 13 years old in calendar years? (ie, they were born 13 years ago, but spent some of that time in sideways timelines, so they've lived more years than have passed in their home timeline?)

Is it wrong for a 12,000 year old dragon date a pile of 400 kobolds when kobolds only live like 10 years on average, but reach full maturity in one year? And if you disagree, can you do anything about it? You do know what happened to the last policeman who tried to arrest a dragon, right? Their city is still smoldering, 50 years later.

Is it wrong for anyone to date the time worm? It's the same age, every year. So the age gap can only intensify. If you start dating the time worm when you're both the same age, when do you break it off because you've become too much older than them?

And most confusing of all... What about the fairies? They could be anything between a thousand and a day old, they would lie about their age either way, and they can look like whatever they want. There's fairies we know for a fact have been around since the founding of The City of Towers, who met the silent mother herself, and also look like they're at most ten years old. Is it wrong to date them, or just really uncomfortable for everyone who sees it? And on the other side there's fairies who are "born" (hatched? They come from plants, I'm not sure what the verb even would be. Seeded? Sprouted, maybe) this week who are already appearing like middle-aged men and dancing with widows in what looks like a scheme to run off with her fortune but they never take the money, because what would a fairy want with worthless metal discs? Maybe fairies have a hive mind or genetic memory or reincarnation with full memories, they'd never tell you or give you a straight (or consistent) answer anyway.

Stone golems are really the only inter-race dating situation anyone can agree on. They're unthinking & unmoving solid rock during the day, so those hours don't count. Thus their "real age" is a nice even half of their true age. So if you meet a stone golem who was dug out 30 years ago, watch out: that's a 15 year old, and if you're a 25 year human, that's too young for you, even though their dig-date is five years before your birth-date.

Honestly how on earth is Johanna supposed to go back to her normal life after learning all that she did in the season 3 finale?? Imagine you find out your parents sacrificed their lives so that you could live yours and now they’re stuck in fairy purgatory forever and for most of your life you didn’t even remember they existed and you just have to sit down and do commissions the next day. What the hell
