step 3

First of all, Himmel confessed his love for Frieren basically in every way but verbally. He knows she's basically immortal and will understand what he meant every time he offered her a ring that symbolizes eternal love or said out loud and in her vicinity how jealous he was about some kid seeing under her skirt, even if it takes 30 years for her to connect the dots. And!!! Beyond that!!! Himmel knew Frieren was gonna fall in love with him when she went back in time and they had a shared dream illusion of marrying eacg other. So he spent many years of their journey together with this knowledge of the future: that she was gonna return his love, just too late. And same for Frieren: the marriage dream was basically a confirmation that Himmel loved her.

On the contrary, Himmel is making sure Frieren is being loved as much as possible, from his time alive to afterwards, with all the statues of him and the world he's saved for her to live in. Because Himmel is nothing if not attentive when it comes to Frieren, and he's noticed that she remembers the people she loved, even if she's bad at understanding that she's loving them.

So, no: Himmel didn't want to create distance to avoid breaking Frieren's heart. He was covering Frieren in a warm blanket of his love.

And the reason why he didn't confess is (probably) because he understands her enough to know she can't be rushed when it comes to her feelings. Literally can't.

And he's not pushing his feelings on Frieren also because he's not someone who sees love as transactional. Himmel is happy to give without expecting anything in return.

Instead, the story stays centered on Frieren whohopes to see Himmel at the end of her journey yes, but she mostly wants to see how much capacity she has for change. It makes points throughout season 1 that Frieren has changed. She fights old monsters with new perspectives. She realizes her time isn’t solely her own anymore. She makes more of an effort to get to know the people in her life. Himmel might have been a big catalyst for her desire for self reflection and to see how much she can change, but the story is about her and her growth, not him.

I just think there’s something really special about something well written can show a woman having regrets about not pursuing a deeper relationship with a man and have it centered on the woman’s interiority and growth.

I feel like people forget that this isnt a Show about superhumans or heroes. These characters are supposed to feel natural and human. They are characters like you and me. We all know a gangle or ragatha or jax.

I feel like people got so desensitized about stories. They expect things they saw a million times. Everything different is bad and boring and a let down and a personal attack for them. The media literacy is so bad.

I wont even start with the parasocial realationship problem. Disney is allowed to do so many dispicable crimes and yet people still buy merch. They are so ready to assault an Indie creator because there is no big no faced cooperation behind them.

People forget to watch things with open hearts and minds. They are just watching things to be hateful honestly. They are ready to see and shred things apart that took so much time, skill and heart to make.

I dont know about all the "controversies" but this is a project that made it from youtube to the silverscreen. This was unthinkable 10 years ago. Especially for such a Bright colorful cartoon. Its such a wonderful Step into the right Direction to give indie artists more possibilities.

I feel like we're going to see Custas go even more feral and reckless after this since he's sort of in a hopeless kind of state. It wouldn't surprise me if he tried to leave the Brimcaps OR dug his heels in and say something like: at least they didn't lie to me fully or that they were never real friends so it doesn't matter. Im realllly curious how Tartah being there is going to change things for Custas, especially now that Tartah has the truth magic BRANDING(my god this manga is insane) Custus might also trust him more cuz Tartah can help Custas figure out whats truth and whats a lie too.

Nobody other than Luka, Aeon (from the New York special) and Alix know. But they are mutual and Alix knows everything so we won't count them

But as for the other stuff?

Marinette's secret identity?

Kagami, Tomoe Tsurugi, Natalie, Gabriel Alya, Felix, Amelie all know. Hell in all technicality Lila also knows she just can't prove it

Gabriel being hawkmoth?

Marinette, Felix and Kagami know. Natalie, Tomoe Tsurugi and Amelie also know

The whole senti-being thing?

Kagami, Felix, Natalie, Amelie, Tomoe Tsurugi and Marinette

But the fact that Adrien is Chat noir?

Nobody who isn't supposed to. Literally nobody knows. Felix didn't figure that out did he? Hell Grand Master Shu Han doesn't know who he is.
