one time my friend told me about how he, as a small child, had a big ice cream cone that he dropped on the ground and i cried. it didn't even happen to me. i'm crying right now thinking about it actually

it's not about the robot dinosaur it's about everyone being so excited for it and immediately having that taken away. i Cannot Handle the theft of excitement and anticipation

This insane bit, from the dub of Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus ep 10

The line is actually "I'm enraptured."

not putting it past natsume to just straight up not know what "imperial" means bc they have made much dumber language mistakes in their time

norad probably has a national magic academy but it's not. imperial. they're not an empire. this is like fact one of the worldbuilding how did you fuck this up. does natsume just not know what the word imperial means and just use it to mean national?? what the fuck is going on here

like i'm gonna guess this is a translation error/Natsume Not Giving A Shit because there's only one empire known in the rune factory world at the time this game is occurring and they like, quite notably can't use magic. it's like their whole thing.

also yes i named the golem nano

after the robot girl from nichijou

also it would be bizarre for sonia to pack him a lunch for a trip out to. the other side of the island, which takes five minutes to get to. do i need to watch the intro again for like the eighth time the voice lines are already imprinted on my brain

unless i've been misinterpreting the intro the entire time azel used to go off island to help out on farms on the mainland?? unless he was farming on the island, which doesn't have room for farms

plus all the dragons used to blot out the sun which would make for less than ideal farming conditions

these days i just go to the coffee bar and add a pump of the vanilla syrup meant for coffee into my soda but it's not the SAME

azel ig has a marginally better self preservation instinct but separating them really emphasizes that they were, all along, two halves of a whole idiot

like the setup for rf tides is inherently goofy bc there are many ways in which azel and sonia are slightly different flavors of equally stupid but sonia's social intelligence was a load bearing presence on that whole situation

on the other hand my people (aggies) also apparently made jalapenos less spicy so like, advancements in horticulture are a double edged sword

tbf they also got that reputation bc my people (the english) didn't know what to do to a cabbage but to boil it

which i maintain is the WORST thing you can do to a cabbage unless you're blanching it. i think boiling most vegetables is at best a misdemeanor
