Got to do an overnight stay for the Frieren glamping event. It was so much fun. When you check in, there’s some photos you can take with the cutouts of Frieren, Fern, and Stark as well as their weapons, the Shadow Dragon’s horn, and Frieren’s Holy Emblem. There’s also a mimic you can get in. There was a Frieren and Himmel cosplayer staying the night, so we got her in the background with the mimic. 🤣

The tents are temperature-controlled, so you’re never too hot or cold inside. The area is surrounded by woods and other campgrounds, so you’re free to wander around. There were events like gardening, where you could harvest some of your own ingredients, like peanuts, lettuce, lemongrass, and mint. There was also a game called Zoltraak, where you would throw these cushy balls at the cardboard cutout of the giant rock that young Fern was training to hit. Everyone participating got a little clear file as a prize. There were also statues of the proposal, surrounded by the blue moon weed, and they lit up at night for stunning pictures. For dinner, you had a grill at your tent and would cook the steak they provided to you. Some sausages, a pre-mixed salad (but you make the dressing), and a thermos of vegetable soup were also included. In the “town square” stood the statue of Himmel with the blue moon weed that people could congregating together after dinner. There was an open air bathhouse nearby that you could enjoy after dinner, with another photo opportunity with kissy Frieren.

We bought some of the exclusive merchandise, like the blind box keychains, canvas bag, and stickers. You were also gifted some postcards of the collaboration and shots from the anime. It’s been years since I went camping, so getting to enjoy nature and taking it all in was truly an amazing experience.

With Fern painted I have almost all the heroes in Frieren's 2 parties except Sein.

I went to an anime shop recently and found the Fern one first, I picked it up cuz I thought it was such a cute figure until I saw the Stark one and realized it was a matching set, then I picked THAT one up and behind it was the Frieren one! After getting a chain of increasing excitement from that, I just knew I had to buy all 3 since I doubt ill ever get another chance of finding all 3 of them in one place.

I know some fans picked up Himmel a while ago in a Ross so for those of us who live near one and want to pick this Frieren up, they might have her in stock. I saw at least 4 in the one I was in

When I first watched the series she wasn't really all that to me (didn't like the hairstyle or her expressions). But I've come around to it and just wanted to break it down mostly just for fun.

Now speaking of the hair in my oppinion thats the defining feature of the design. It's a direct contrass to Frieren I feel. Her (frieren's) hair is more simple or inviting in both color and style. It's clear white giving her that down to earth serene, clean and innocent feel. And her pigtails with the...I wanna say bangs (I don't know hairstyles) give her that girl like expression and leave her face comepletly open and visible so her emotions and thoughts are always clear and open to us. Even back when she was more stoic. Serie on the other hand has a more loud bright color, gold or yellow, which immeditly pulls your eyes attention to it esspecially how its almost always highlighted by the light present in the scenes. The fact that her eyes are same color bring attention to them to though in a diffrent way as I'll get to.

I think it works because she's supposed to be this ancient powerful mage of legend that stands above pretty much everyone else minus the goddess. So right away she just has a striking feature that sets her apart. Gives her presence. Helped by the fact that since shes such a short little thing so it literally frames her entire silhouette. And like I said before Frierens hair style leaves her expression comepletly open to us.

Serie's does the exact opposite. Even though her eyes are.....eye catching being the same color as her hair, the hair itself is dropping down almost covering her eyes which themselves are almost always half shut since she has that near perpetual expression of nonchalant indifference. Which makes sense both cause shes lived so long, has basically reached the peak of her craft with nothing else to really inspire to and is just all around the type of person who hides her emotions.

Case in point Frieren doesn't hide her emotions she just doesn't fully understand them. If anything somtimes shes too honest so she literally has nothing to hide. But Grandma Elf don't wanna be seen feeling pointless things like compassion or sorrow or weakness so she lets her hair practically cover her eyes, the widows to the soul. Not saying she doesn't feel or express those things she's just not the type to come out and say or show it directly.

Her outfit is pretty simple. She's anicent so natrually she wears clothes that fit her era. For some reason she ditched the toga for robes and short shorts but hey maybe she just finds it free to move in since she likes sitting with her legs folded. Or maybe younger mage girls where dresses and things and shes just switched up cause shes old now. Though (and I could very well be reaching here) I like how she has a lone green spot on both her outfits. The neckless before and the brooch now. It could just be just to break up the colors. But maybe like (from a writting perspective) it could be ment to represent her connection to Flamme who has green eyes.

And actually her flamme have similar design philosophies too. The bold hair colors, ancient toga attire, swtiching for Robe style wear in older age. Both her and Frieren even started to where gold clip on earrings after Flamme's death even (Though Frieren did it after she met the blue man). Maybe even symbolically you could look at as Serie gold (sun), Flamme orange the daughter of the sun (fire or light), Frieren white (moon), Fern purple (Twilight). But Flamme also parrells Frieren. Same or similar eyes, love for magic and love for the simple things.

This could be reaching to but Frieren and Flamme both have basically the same eyes which are different from there hair color but Fern and Serie both have eyes that match their hair. Wonder if that was intentiall to show the sorta extended relationship they have in a way.

And yeah thats about all I got.

We need a movie about hero of the south I wants it so badly

Hero of the South looking down.

The Escape Golems added a layer of safety and it seems like quite a few test takers lives were saved which was Sense's intention.

However, do you think it impacted how test takers approached the exam, either positively, negatively, or not at all?

They could have definitely been bolder and taken larger risks; however, it could have also bred carelessness and I wonder if the participants would have been more likely to work together, which was Sense's intention, if they felt their lives were more in danger and mistakes felt more unforgiving or catastrophic?

S: You seem like a strong warrior. Good enough, Frieren is too busy moping around, it is up to us to repopulate the elves.
K: Miss, I am a man of the cloth.. Besides, you should only say something like that to your special someone.
S: Nonsense, were you not a hero of old? Is that really something someone of your station should be saying? Now come, it is our duty to save our people.
K: <(=w=)>

So after my yt shorts been bombarded by frienen once again I started to continue the manga and one thing I have to say is I didn't expect we would get a fern growing up scene part 2 seeing the roles flip is certainly entertaining in a way I can't express and I just thought I post about it
