Real. From the outside it makes you feel like "well if this is how you folks view/present this character after reading your thing's story..." Even knowing how fandoms get and how most of them don't actually read, it makes a first impression that's hard to shake.

I was also floored by your handling of あなたがあなたらしく in this same panel! "Not just part of you, but all of you." It takes what would sound like a tautology translated flat, and makes it the aspirational statement it's meant to read as. Absolutely brilliant!

This is depressing to see. I guess they really want to push ahead on this, and they're really committed to finding exactly where the line is where enough players will just swallow it because of sunk cost or other reasons.

I barely remember anything about S1 aside from that episode where she told a young man to romantically pressure his family's slave, pushed the woman to suicide, and then was like "wow I wonder whose fault that was" and walked away whistling Dixie.

Time to post my girl Cinna (thanks to @kraujas.bsky.social !)

Struck by a mental image of Sherma reading an old book and finding a mention of a "lace hem." He asks Hornet if she would like one on her cloak. Sherma doesn't know it's a fabric, and Hornet doesn't know he's not aware.
