#i did enjoy seeing starlight anya again though

[prettylittleheartfilia]

im not gonna lie, i’m disappointed in the new chapter. it was cute, don’t get me wrong. i love seeing anya and her cute, funny antics. i also enjoyed seeing the progress in damian’s character (like him apologizing) and how his friendship with anya is growing (though i did want to put him on timeout for calling yor a gorilla. not okay. never disrespect yor like that again 😒) BUT i was expecting so much more.

first of all, i’m glad to see loid caring and worrying about anya and her well-being (to the point that he bought a car so she didn’t have to get on a bus again) but the whole “it’s for the mission” shtick is getting old. “my daughter is very traumatized and i need to help her overcome that… for my mission of course!” like sir??? do you hear yourself??? it’s okay to admit you care about her. she’s a toddler who has gone through more than a lot of adults will ever go through in their lifetime. it’s okay, at the very least, to admit you feel compassion for her. i know he’s a very emotionally stunted man who has a lot to work through before he can freely admit he deserves to love and be loved. but i feel like his character development has been on halt for a while now and it’s getting frustrating.

also, while i love the kids and i love their little moments, i wish this episode wouldn’t have focused so much on them. anya just went through such a traumatic and terrifying experience. i wish this chapter would’ve focused more on the forgers and on the parents navigating how to make her feel better after the events of the red circus arc or something. even if the entire chapter was just them going on a family ooting to cheer her up, i would’ve been fine with that. but, instead, we had to wait a month just to see the kids at eden… again.

like i said before, i enjoyed the chapter. but i think i would’ve enjoyed it more if we’d had gotten some forger family moments before the events of this chapter. i just want the focus to be back on the family. that’s all. and i wish loid would’ve shown a little more affection. especially considering the fact that his child could’ve died.
