thoughts on frieren

Speaking of landscapes, I'm reminded of an anime that I'm actually into right now, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End that follows an elf who was one of the adventurers who defeated the demon king (yknow like how it is in most isekai/fantasy animes, where the hero needs to kill the demon king etc). But the story starts off almost a century after that. It's hard to put to words why I enjoy it so much so I tried looking around to see if people could explain why and some of it resonated. The main character is an elf, so they live very, very long... They almost never have kids and are described as pretty asexual/aromatic/apathetic beings, and are rather far and few between. The show kinda shows the parallels of who she used to be and who she's learning to become. In her original party, she was distant, inconsiderate and didn't think much about relationships/bonds/connections and the value of time or mortality. But after the hero died (as an old man), it hit her that she never really got to know him nor took the time to, and now she will never get to. It kinda spurred her on her own journey to reconnect and retrace her past journey and the story has her coming to a better understanding of human mortality and her past and present companions. You see how she's come to not only appreciate but understand and try to pass it on to the people that she meets. You see her making an effort to connect with others and the parallels of how she used to behave in similar situations. Also, from our perspective as the viewer, whenever they show flashbacks of her interactions with the hero, you can obviously tell that he loved her (romantically) but she did not understand nor acknowledged his gestures, and that really adds an extra layer of tragedy (bro literally proposed to her and she's like "orh whatever")

She's so old, and she's seen so many wars, that very little fazes her. You can really see how in the scope of her life, many things that might seem so large and momentous to us, is just a passing event for her. And something about that just makes me see the wider scope of things (and also understand why she’s so apathetic and uninvolved in conflicts). Something about the way the anime SHOWS the passage of time (literally weeks and months can go by in a single episode), just really speaks to me. The daily, quiet living. Living. Being. Since she lives for such a long time, she's kinda unfazed by the passing of time (something I'm terrified of) and the show often has her party stay in a place for a while (months sometimes) to carry out tasks, and to see the weeks go by in such a calm, steady and gentle way makes made me feel like...it's okay that time passes, you're not losing it, you're gaining experiences and forging or reinforcing connections. It's the gentleness of time that I'm hit with, I guess. And the kindness that can come with age and experience. It keeps going, and you keep going, and it’s okay. And in the meantime, there's so much beauty to take in (the landscapes and ost in the show really capture that)

But it also made me think of how precious that time is when she realises how quickly her companions have grown (one of them, she basically raised as a kid and she was suddenly struck by huh, she's so tall now). And also the importance and value of legacies. The hero who died was kind and selfless etc, and she often brushed aside his behaviour and she clearly thought they were meaningless. Yet now, you realise so much of what motivates her is him, and the person he was. I feel like she's learning how to preserve, honor and pass on his legacy through the new events she. You see her passing on his kindness in her own way, and in doing so, reconnecting and keeping the memory of him alive. Before her other old companion died, he was afraid because he knew that there was no one left to remember his life and she was the only one left to have witnessed all his triumphs and failures. And she promised him that she will continue to praise him even after he’s gone. Idk this anime evokes such an abstract but profound emotion in me (and clearly many others because it's quite a popular anime) that makes me feel ...almost peaceful? Emotional? Beyond my being? It makes me think of the past, present and future but not in a way that is terrifying, but almost poignant and gentle. I should've just googled it cuz someone described it like: "A profound meditation on life itself It challenges us to consider what it means to truly live, love, and let go.

If aI is gonna scrape everything on Tumblr then it means my personal blogs are over. Everything I've ever uploaded in the past decade... It's unreasonable to re-download and glaze it all.. I don't have that kind of time. I don't even have some of these files. I'm so sick of people stealing from artists. From our hearts. I don't want to delete my accounts but at this rate what choice do I have... It's eat or be eaten.

I barely ever see a new face. And, like, when there’s opportunities to talk about pals with prompts that are dropped in pal discussion or otherwise, I do not ever really see new people biting. Maybe I’m not active enough to see every interaction, 24/7, I don’t want to discredit anyone’s experiences but I’m not going to discredit mine either of barely ever seeing anyone else there.

Please explain to me what a “clique” is /gen

Every time I see that word and then look in the server, it’s the group of active members that’ve become aquatinted as friends. Cliques are people who do not allow other people to participate or join in on the mutual activity or group or whatever. I do not ever see the active current group being THAT hostile. Idk, if anyone can prove me otherwise then by all means share a screenshot but until then I wish I knew what you were talking about anon.

if you are going to share screenshots please make sure that names/icons are blocked out.

This show has such amazing details!

In the car, we see that, following the fight with Kaji Satoru, Rei's sleeve is bloodied:

Rei and Kazuki then arrive home. We can still just about see the blood on Rei's sleeve as the pair walk in — evidently, there wasn't enough time to clean up.

So Rei

puts the hand with the bloodied sleeve in his pocket so that he doesn't alarm Miri.
