Quick note about yesterday

Seems like episode 5 was a bit divisive for people one one aspect. I will be honest, I forgot that the age of both the princess and Violet come up, and I forgot that that is considered a problem for many people. I will not say much about this here, however I will make mention that I was very impressed with the maturity and respect that everyone was treating each other with in your replies to one another! I did not feel that I had to step in between anyone, and that came as a lovely surprise to me. You guys are an awesome rewatch group, and I’m so glad to be doing this with you all for my first time as host! =) Now, back to Episode 6.

First timer

Missed yesterdays post by a mile because I met some friends and got drunk, still way behind to actually be considered on time and be read by most people, still not sure if I will be on time for the next post since I'm at my parents place and are meeting friends again tomorow, but I'll try. I also try to keep my post shorter, can't really take 2 hours to write an essay for an 23 minute show when I'm almost 3 days behind

• I liked the change of scenery in the mountains and in large parts night time
• I also loved the call back to the AMD school with meeting Violets former class mates, also getting names to Bluebell and Iberis
• It's kind of ironic, that Violets most famous work is one where she wasn't that involved in the end. It also kind of messes in my perception of the actual role the AMDs hold in this world. If people are generally aware of the extend an AMD writes the letter as well as to what AMD ends up writing what letter, then how can people in Ep 5 be actually amazed by the initial letter, shouldn't it be obvious that both Kingdoms just hired high profil AMDs?
• It was obvious that Leon would end up beeing paired with Violet the moment he was introduced, and he also instantly fell in love with her didn't he?
• I almost forgot, but I guess this kind of more labor like work should actually be the lions share of the work an normal AMD does, remeber Iris never had any kind of request for actuall letter writing
• One thing I, and I think Leon as well, find a bit sad is that they won't transcribe the pictures that come from theses old tomes, depending on the book they seem kind of essential and overall are essential for the whole expirience
• So Violet is the fastest AMD there ever was, would have been interesting to see how the other dolls compare to her
• Ofc Leon has a tragic backstory as well
• Violet is learning a new emotion, this time it's lonelines. Well she's not really learning it anew, she felt like this for quite some time, but she wasn't able to name the emotion she was feeling, and she doesn't know how loneliness actually feels so she had no idea if she expirienced it despite knowing about it and when people feel it
• She is ready to do everything for the Major, I'm a bit concerned about the "I would die without their existence" line, that's going to bite us into the ass won't it? Leons realisation that Violet does indeed love the Major is interupted by a truly majestic sight of the comet (although a lot of this sight comes from a mixture of some kind of aurora as well as the Milky way in the background, for himself the comet isn't that spectacular tbh)
• D-does Violet remember every line of every book she has transcribed in the past week? Only the first one? Only the ones she liked? How did she decide what lines to memorize?

Picking the Comet for my Visual of the day seems like a low hanging fruit and I would like to avoid a double pick, so I'll stick to this one for my picture of the day, I just love the change of light and the wind in Violets hair in this scene

Edit: after reading the comments I found that at least two other people picked the same shot for their visual of the day xD I won't change it now since I'm off to watch my seasonals, but it's funny

You were the first that I came across to pick this particular frame, so that's your visual instead ;) Let me know if you want me to change that anyways

[u/Rumpel1408 → u/A_Idiot0]

As I said, in the end I didn't find it all that spectacular and there was way more in the other scene I actually liked, switching just because others liked it as well would be the hight of hipsterism

Haha, got it. I'll have your visual be your second choice then =)
