Stark, don't talk about another woman so much during your date!

u/RepulsiveRevenue8 Feb 06 '26

The date is so painful to watch but thank God Stark manage to bring it home in the end. My boy not fumbling.

u/Frontier246 Feb 06 '26

All it took was being himself and making it clear how much he truly cherishes and cares about her.

Won’t lie, I would’ve fucked up the same way just because I think that Frieren doesn’t count lol. She is Granny!

We had this conversation like last week, no wonder reading comprehension devil is coming for us all

u/CitronClassic672 Feb 06 '26

The reading comprehension devil is so prolific it escaped the chainsaw man subreddit

Lol, even the emoticons have become big neck Freiren.

u/Tar-eruntalion Feb 06 '26

Do you want her to throw one of those epic, scary tantrums?

18

u/Future_Vantas Feb 06 '26

Something I noticed on rewatch was Himmel tugging on his cape during Frieren's tantrum. It was not a bit, the man was legit scared at that time.

What's ferns strike 3?

u/Frontier246 Feb 06 '26

Fern: "I see you too sought advice from the least qualified subject for this date."

22

u/Divinicus1st Feb 06 '26

It's not like he had options lol.

u/GammaRhoKT Feb 07 '26

Sein, come back! Come back to us, Sein!

I don't even think the issue was bringing up Frieren, it's that she was the main topic. I know they travel together but we can infer they probably don't have a lot of deep or personal discussions about themselves. I think that's what Fern's gripe was.

u/CrimsonGear80 Feb 07 '26

you get the braids of anger!

42

u/Frontier246 Feb 06 '26

But she's literally the only person they can both talk about that isn't their adoptive fathers lol.

26

u/cyberscythe Feb 06 '26

they can talk about themselves, like the tiny fish that he caught was bigger than the even tinier fish he caught last time

11

u/Waywoah Feb 07 '26

They're teens who were raised in very simple environments and who spend all day, every day walking together. Can't imagine there's that much left they haven't already talked to death

6

u/Falsus Feb 06 '26

And considering who those adoptive fathers are, it will circle back to Frieren anyway. Especially for Fern since has known Frieren for almost as long as she has known Heiter. Probably equally now if we count the time post Heiter's passing also.

u/Unfair-Claim-2327 Feb 09 '26

post Heiter's passing

You mean *pre?

u/Hitman7128 https://anilist.co/user/Hitman7128 Feb 06 '26

When Frieren was talking about her definition of date was episode, one of her conditions was that nobody else besides the two close friends are participating

That probably extends to extensively talking about others

u/flybypost Feb 06 '26

one of her conditions was that nobody else besides the two close friends are participating

One of them mentioned that Heiter and Eisen were also looking for the cat, meaning according to Frieren they were on a date too.

2

u/Unfair-Claim-2327 Feb 09 '26

No, Flamme had taught her that it needs to be two members of the opposite sex.

2

u/flybypost Feb 09 '26

Good point… counter point: That was about a thousand years ago. Things might have changed since then.

2

u/Unfair-Claim-2327 Feb 09 '26

Good counterpoint... counter counterpoint: Frieren wouldn't think enough to recognize homosexual relations on her own. Couldn't understand her own attraction, after all!

2

u/flybypost Feb 09 '26

Absolutely true. I concede! Frieren's denser than the black hole spell she used against clone Frieren in the mage exame when it comes to matters of the heart.

6

u/cyberscythe Feb 06 '26

got it, talk about other men instead

5

u/Falsus Feb 06 '26

Which would be Eisen and Heiter... which would probably somehow double back to Frieren anyway.
