There's a weird amount of flowers (White Lilies) and Dark magic involved in this new character…
I was going to say this earlier but I think now's the best time to say: Man there are so many directions this arc can go
Like Beast Yeast ep 15 and onward has just been setting, and building and setting up new plot points which are all meant to come together at some point but with the sheer volume of stuff we've got in the last handful of episodes It's really hard to predict it as going to happen next
Although, I am incredibly looking forward to it
Even if the execution have been a little rough around the edges, every new plotpoint fits quite well narratively and thematically.
Even If I had no idea that we are going to hell after revisiting the magic academy It makes sense why the story would go in this direction. Because we are building off of the Beast Yeast arc A.K.A the major character death arc.
In a single arc, so many important characters have died, so following that up with the underworld and setting up the opportunity to meet them again makes sense (hope they execute that well)
Like If I were to list the potential stories timeline of fate can tell/continue it would be:
ShadowMilk’s timeline genesis
Ash Salt and her abusive Momma (SM)
The Witches castle + Witch lore
Each of the individual Dragons + Holly Berry
Golden Cheese reviving her kingdom
Timekeeper and Shadowmilk making tf out (please please please)
Timekeeper and her Harem– I mean Time Balance department
Crossant cookie’s earth shattering homosexual romance with Ashy
And I’m not even bringing up the unresolved plot points from Act 1 (which can be a whole other arc tbh)
And honestly, each of these points can use nearly a whole episode dedicated to it imo.
We can use a pure breather update, I think 5 can almost work as one, but I’d like to go back to Crispia just for a brief moment. Maybe to check in on the cookie kingdom, Chilli and Custard can use some screentime.
But to my seemingly unpopular opinion I am very invested here, not as much as Beast Yeast, but def more than Crispia. These episodes have given me lots to speculate and think about and the chaos has been fun.
