Did you think it was weird that Jester was wearing a mask in his "real form"?

Why does Monica talk when she summons the Wind Spirit King?

Attention! I only watched the anime The Secret of the Silent Witch, Season 1.

Monica Everett is one of the Seven Sage, known as Silent Witch. In the world that she lived in, they have to talk when wanted to cast magic.

But Monica can cast magic without chanting a spell.

So now is known as the Silent Witch.

But in episode 8, Monica summons the Wind Spirit King while she’s talking.

Most of the viewer and AI explanations say that she talks because she was using a great power in that time. But in the episode 1, she summons a same gate, but different result.

In the episode 4, when Monica killed the Earth Dragon, Neo, the familiar and a cat, said to Monica something like “You don’t get nervous when I transform in human” and Monica said “Oh… that right…”

I think when Monica summons the Wind Spirit King in episode 8, wasn’t to gain more power. But she doesn’t get nervous for chanting the spell with people there. Is more symbolic than power.

When her father died, she went to a familiar of her, but they didn’t want to stay there.

So, the moment she speaks may not be about magic power, but about Monica being brave around people.

But want do you think?

A little theory about the word "freak" in The Freak Circus

Something I noticed while thinking about the story "The Freak Circus" is the constant use of the word freak.

The circus is even advertised as The Freak Circus of Horror.

But is something strange about that word...

There are actual literally monsters, biologically speaking. Yet the circus still uses that word, freak, instead something like monster, criature or simply say The Circus of Horror.

I think the word freak originally came from the Ringmaster. In the historical freak shows, the actors were called freaks to turn into spectacle rather than people.

So the Ringmaster may have used the word to minimize and control them.

Not monster. Just freaks.

After Columbina's death, the characters internalize that label.

Eating Columbina was the first step. Her eyes were pink. And the dolls we see in the circus are pink too, like the entire show has become a ritual of guilt.

The real Circus of Horror might not come to the monsters themselves. It might be the identity and guilt they feel.

The Ringmaster called freaks... And they started to believing it.

Even thought the Ringmaster is no longer present, the circus stille moves as he were there. Like a ghost...

But what do you think?

Please, someone do the animatic of Harlequin, Pierrot and MC with "I wanna be your slave" by Maneskin. It would be great!

I was thinking about Undertale, and if the members of the Freak Circus plays it, what route they choose:

Pierrot: Pacifist route.

Harlequin: Genocide route.

Jester: He would kill Undyne, and, of course, Asgore.

Doctor: He would kill Sans, if he could, and Undyne.

Ticket Taker: He probably won’t look at the game, he is too “busy”.

Columbina: Toriel.

Now I think... Pierrot is like a Golden Retriever... What do you think?
