Got some customs from @deepseaspriteblog so I'm trying to give them icons as I upload them to TH :3

The following blogpost contains spoilers about To Your Eternity.

The series continues to impress me and I’m sure it has impressed everyone else who watches it. This episode was no different. It’s weird to say but I wasn’t expecting all that much from this episode based on the preview at the end of the last one. It promised to be an excapade of learning for Fushi as he’s taken under the wing of the old shaman lady which sounds quite tedious and unspectacular on the face of it.

But I was hugely wrong.

As I was openly wondering that if, at any point, would Fushi take on the form of the late March, the narrator went on to explain passively that the orb used March to better climb trees to eat food. It doesn’t necessarily have to present itself as a huge event like it has with the previous transformations but I think the reality of the situation is that you should expect this sort of thing from now on. Anyway, Fushi bumps into the old shaman lady in the form of March I guess purely to freak her out a bit. Fushi being March does help the old lady hunt for food.

The first part of this episode is quite a nice and cozy sequence in which the old woman teaches Fushi how to read and write. By the end of it, it appears that Fushi can speak a good amount and can have conversations in rudimentary Japanese. I am big fan of the typography of the in-universe language and a series like this could always do with touches like that that make the setting feel a lot more alive.

Pioran hints at finding some kind of new settlement which continues Fushi’s search for a home once more. During this, she prods Fushi for questions about where he came from but it’s implied that his memory of the inciting encounter with the boy in the artic is warped and fragmented. The orb that is occupying Fushi seems to not really know what is happening to them as they can’t really explain the nature of his transformations.

What happened next was so completely out of nowhere and is a shot to the arm when you think about the upbeat, coming-of-age tone that the episode had set about creating for the previous 15 minutes. Whilst the two are asleep at the campfire, they are interrupted by a kind of body-snatcher creature that sprouts from the ground with it’s goal being to take away Fushi’s bodily forms that he’s been collecting. It takes the form of a stoney replica of the unnamed boy to which Fushi is visibly aggravated towards in his wolf form. Then, the battle is intercepted by the creator of the orb. Suddenly, you have a character to place on the narrator’s voice.

The creator tells him how to dispatch of the entity because everytime Fushi is mortally wounded by the spikey tentacles of the beanstalk creature, he has to relinquish that form. Soon he is left with no form other than March who actually ends up saving the day in a thrilling scene that is short and sweet. Fushi uses March’s agility and ability to climb through trees to avoid the danger before diving into the creature’s heart where all the forms are stored. I’m doing this scene quite a disservice but I can only applaud it for conjuring unexpected tension from nothing and inserting this surprising new factor of danger in Fushi’s life.

The narrator figure explains to Fushi that he is the creator but it’s clear that Fushi doesn’t really understand what just happened all that much. When Pioran asks him what just happened, he just calmly says that he doesn’t know and that it was quote “weird”.

It is also unclear who is the real bad guy in this scenario. On paper, we are supposed to trust the orb's creator but he looks so damn ominous that him trying to win my favour is going to be an uphill battle for sure.

The episode ends with them arriving at the place where Pioran comes from and it’s clearly sunnier climes compared to the setting previously and despite this being a “transitional” episode into this new world that Fushi is going to be surrounding themselves with for the timebeing, it was still a great episode with a lot of new information learnt that is woven expertly into the storytelling. Yet again, the animé has surprised me with even more fantastic twists and turns. Whilst there wasn’t a great deal to say about it, I was hooked from scene to scene and the animation remains gorgeous and as welcoming as ever.

2,000-year-old ancient toys from the Hellenistic Period have been discovered inside tombs belonging to children in the ancient seaport city of Parion located in northwestern Turkey's Çanakkale province.

Researchers have discovered toys and other articles during excavations at the ancient site, Professor Hasan Kasaoğlu from Atatürk University, who is the excavation leader at Parion, told the Anadolu Agency.

He noted that the toys were presented as "gifts for the dead" children and provide significant information about the socio-cultural structure of the period. 

Some ideas I had with Orian, he's so fun to draw :]c

More Parion! 

They struggled a lot after Orian was born, both from complications afterwards but also from other losses they had during that time, which triggered a long depressive episode for them, making it hard to rule their kingdom and take care of their baby.

Liriam, who was their advisor, helped as much as he could, both with the kingdom's issues but also with taking care of Orian, pratically becoming a third (or in this case, second) parent to him.
