This too I shall ship

Do the Eridians prove Grace's hypothesis that life doesn't need water to evolve?

So many Bloodymary fics are slow burn and over 20K words long

And it has just never left my head how beyond fucked up that was

Like, here there's these two kids, who love each other dearly. Then one day their bodies are grown into adults, without their consent, and we don't know for sure if the same happened to their minds. Then they're told that they have to have sex with each other, and again, their consent isn't considered even for a moment. They're just expected to do it and be okay with it, despite it being a dynamic they'd never considered, and they're not given time to consider if they're okay with it. No, one day, just...here's an adult body, now go have sex with the person you probably considered something more like a sibling until now. And I'm not even sure if the same was done to the other tensen. It could well be that they were allowed to grow up normally, and only Ju Fa and Tao Fa were forced to adult up, which would make it even more fucked up

I don't know if I should be applying my human morals and views onto their dynamic, but when I watched this happen in the anime, it just felt violating. It felt like Ju Fa and Tao Fa just forced themselves to cope with this new situation, forced their previous dynamic to adapt into these new expectations, but it still felt like that wasn't enough. Like their madness and eventual mental deterioration happened in part because this, in addition to their immortality, was never something they wanted

You know what happened?

Song comes on, istant tears, in a bus, while reading to a goddamn Zukka fic

Is it purely a fandom headcanon thing? Does Ryan Gosling have a twin brother? Did Ryland have a twin brother in the book? Secret fourth option? What's the deal?

You guys, Qifrey genuinely scares me so much

His unhealthy obsession and scary stare aside, the way he had the memory erasing spell in his hat. On lock. Ready to use at any time. It instantly makes me wonder just how often he's done to others what he did to Olly. Hell, how many times he's done this very same thing to Olly himself, just because he wanted to be a good friend to Qifrey

It's horrifying also in its hypocrisy, considering Qifrey was the one who condemned memory erasing magic to Coco, told her how it's like destroying a piece of someone. Qifrey is ready, at any time, to destroy a piece of someone. Even if that someone is his best friend

Also, probably goes without saying but no spoilers, please. I'm excited to discover the answer for myself

Is the pacing as quick in the light novel/manga as it is in the anime?

The MC, Melphiera, wants to get strong enough so she can butcher and prepare the monsters she wants to eat on her own. But whenever she asks the people around her to teach her how to be stronger physically (especially the male lead Aristide) they're all like "Oh, that's okay, just ask us for help, we'll do the heavy lifting and you handle the magic stuff and cooking the meat". And that REALLY annoys me, 'cos, why the hell can't they just teach her? Have her do some cardio, teach her to fight with a sword, and make it so she can be more independent and strong in a variety of ways. But nooooo, we gotta have the stwong male lead help and save her every time and she couldn't possibly do the same things he does with the sword because she's just so widdle and weak. Ugh...

I judge by how wiggly it gets me
