i just finished vinland saga s2. i actually have no words. this season was one of the best pieces of media i have ever consumed. thorfinn’s arc was so beautifully done, and the characters this season were amazing. thorfinn going from being an empty, defeated man to now taking on the mission to create a haven for those suffering. from being a warrior on the battlefield to a slave to a man working towards peace, was such an amazing journey to watch. thorfinn slowly coming back to life through farming made me so emotional. the animation and writing this season was incredible! i've quickly grown to love thorfinn and i already feel he'll be one of my favorite characters for life.
skip and loafer has done it again. i am a WRECK. shima has become one of my favorite characters EVER written and this chapter just made my love for him so much stronger. his growth has been highlighted for so many chapters and getting to this moment where the truth of the incident is revealed was incredible. he had buried his true feelings all these years, all for his mother’s sake. younger shima had so much pressure with no way to let it all out for so long. however, because of the new path he has created, he finally had the courage to face his past. he has grown to the point where he can confidently say that he isn’t miserable anymore. that he’s finally okay. he performs for his past self now, to show younger shima that it does get better, that there are happier days to come. stl 68 was so moving, you can read it over and over again and never stop. shima has come such a long way from the beginning and i can’t wait to see what else is in store for him.
rewatching the apothecary diaries and it's one of the best series i've ever watched. maomao is so captivating as a main character. her knowledge and skills allow her to help people, even though she says time and time again she wants to lay low. she doesn't want to get involved, yet puts herself in harm's way to solve the problem. jinshi is so interesting as a character. he puts on a persona and hides his true nature so he doesn't have to get involved with the palace politics, yet he has moments where the TRUE jinshi is shown. he has so much at stake, so much responsibility, yet with maomao he's able to forget all of it and be himself. the mysteries, the writing, the tension, the secrets, all of these things make the series so amazing. the plot is so incredible, jinshi and maomao are amazing characters, and their relationship is so beautifully written. every aspect of the apothecary diaries is incredible.

i'd like to think that the reason why the fanbook emphasizes zeno's ability to cook vegetable soup well is because zeno used to make it for kaya when they were together
the thought was somewhat inspired by this panel. i'm not even sure if they were having vegetable soup here but my headcanon is that zeno took over and made sure that their food was cooked properly after this lol
