Welcome
New year, new blog, same me falling down the rabbit hole of another fandom.
This sideblog exists because there were a lot of Frieren-related things that I wanted to reblog and discuss but I didn't want to clutter up my main, which is currently focused on a different fandom.
For now, this blog will consist mostly of images from the manga, anime, gifs, screencaps, official art, and fanart.
I'm still catching up on the manga, so I'll be posting thoughts and reactions along the way as well.
Navigation + Tags:
sousou no frieren - any posts relating to the series as a whole, including meta and discussions about plot, themes, timeline, etc.
葬送のフリーレン - the Japanese name for the series is used for posts that discuss things related to linguistics/translation, cultural context, or if Japanese text appears in the mangacaps
Frieren (the character) is tagged with just her name
Characters & Dynamics:
Hero Party - for posts including multiple members of the original party of heroes:
Frieren, Himmel, Heiter, Eisen
Frieren's Party - for posts including multiple members of the present-day party:
Frieren, Fern, Stark, Sein
Past and Present - for posts including an overlap of characters in the hero party & frieren's present-day party
Ships are tagged alphabetically (ie: frieren x himmel, fern x stark)
Misc.
a mere ten years - posts that reference the passage of time and Frieren's understanding of how her years with the original party of heroes changed her
Frieren the slayer - Frieren being a badass
disaster elf - Frieren being a disaster (includes frieren and the mimic. Related tag: sleepy frieren)
aroace frieren - examples of frieren being on the aro/ace spectrum
*note: this tag includes any references/headcanons about Frieren being on the aromantic and/or asexual spectrum, even though the two identities do not always coincide
crossover - any post that includes characters from other series (either in collaboration or referencing parallels)
lost in translation - posts referring to the inherent flaws in translated media and things that aren't obvious if you only read/watch the English version

first lines meme
Thanks to @virusq for tagging me! Skipping over multichapters and nonfiction/meta here to focus on shorts and one-shots.
Too weak to stand, Xie Ying Luo crawled. - Of Use (Thunderbolt Fantasy)
After Maomao had left the Inner Palace for good, Gaoshun found Jinshi huddled on his knees in the corner of his office surrounded by a sickly purple aura. - Mushroom Hunting (The Apothecary Diaries)
Homura woke before her alarm, as she always did--somehow, she knew what time it was without needing a clock and would jerk from a sound sleep to full alertness in seconds at precisely the right moment. -wake me up before you go-go (PMMM)
Ichigo Kurosaki never thought he'd see the day where he was grateful for the end of summer vacation, but the first week of the fall semester came as an immense relief. - Catching Up (Bleach x PMMM)
Your name is Mai Kawasumi and though you are a senior in high school, you are also an accomplished demon hunter who keeps the city safe by dispatching the monsters that no one else can see. -Demon's Serenade (Kanon x PMMM)
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? - Chicken and Egg (Null Magical Girl)
"Are you sure about this?" - Puppetmaster (Thunderbolt Fantasy)
"Mistress Frieren," Fern said sternly to the small figure crouched expectantly in front of a suspicious-looking wooden treasure chest tucked away in a corner of the dungeon. "You do realize that's a mimic, right?" -Improbable Odds (Sousou no Frieren)
The wild swans came down from the north in early autumn, the whistling of their wings echoing across the lake in the growing twilight. - Transmigration (Princess Tutu)
For a region supposedly devastated by the War of Fading Dusk, the Wasteland of Spirits contained no end of hostile inhabitants, all of them out for blood. -Unexpected Interference (Thunderbolt Fantasy x PMMM)
As you can see, I try to make sure my first line either functional (i.e., tells you who it's about and where in canon we are, if relevant) OR thematic. In other words, it explains either the setting or the what it's about--and sometimes, if I'm very lucky, both at once, as in the Homura one.
Stories are fractal, so I find it pleasing when the first sentence encapsulates the whole of the story in microcosm. I don't always achieve that, of course, but it's nice when it happens. So the fic about consent play begins with a question about consent; the story about wild swans and seasonal migration begins with their appearance; the story about fighting monsters in a wasteland begins with the dry observation that there's actually quite a lot going on in a supposedly empty landscape. And so on.
Because of this, I have a tendency for wordy first sentences, so it's nice to see I actually do vary my pacing a bit. I recall someone telling me once that you should never start with dialogue or a question, which, like most writing rules, can be safely ignored.
That said, I usually think of it more as "first paragraph" rather than first sentence, as you can see with the Frieren one. Anything I can't cram into the first sentence goes later in the paragraph if possible:
The wild swans came down from the north in early autumn, the whistling of their wings echoing across the lake in the growing twilight. Fakir stood on the dock with his neck craned and admired their fluid grace. In the water beside him, Ahiru watched too with her usual anatid inscrutability. Still, he couldn't help wondering if she wished she might follow them--if this little lake and his company weren't enough for her compared to the wide world beyond.
Here is the whole conflict of the story laid out--post-canon Fakir looks up at the swans, and he's wondering what Ahiru is thinking, and projecting his own ideas onto her because she cannot communicate in words. Everything that follows comes from this, and this is the image we ultimately return to at the end, with Fakir looking up at the swans once again--this time, hoping to see Ahiru and hoping she'll return, and the question of whether he is "enough" for her is finally resolved with her (non-verbal) answer.
In journalism, first lines/paragraphs are called "ledes", which I think is a great word, because you want to lead the reader along with you. Ledes can be any length--in a longer essay, the lede might be several paragraphs vs. a sentence in a short article--but they perform exactly the functions I've described above of explaining what the story is about and where it's going. Sometimes ledes are perfunctory, sometimes they're clever, sometimes the writer accidentally "buries" their lede by putting it later in the article. The lede may not necessarily be the first line, but it often is, and "find the lede" is a great exercise for writers in general.
Learning how to write ledes was the moment I really "clicked" as a writer--up until that point, I'd written thousands if not millions of words, but the spark wasn't there. Suddenly, I got it, and it completely changed my writing and my life. So I have a special fondness for them and they are also one of the hardest things to get "right" in a piece. I don't always succeed, but I keep trying!

Sousou no Frieren is the softest adventure manga I have ever read.
Forget thrilling adventures and exciting arcs. This is the most calming story I've ever come across. Even for a casual read.
Its like a touch of cottage core meets magic with slow but somewhat satisfying development.
The adventure of an elf mage of the Hero's party years after defeating the demon lord seems even better than reading the story leading up to defeating the demon lord. Of course the passing of her friends is enough to make one morose. You gradually understand the feeling of a near-immortal being who can barely understand human emotions. Despite this sad fact, it is still uplifting in many ways. Frieren reminiscing the past adventures from her short 10-year journey which justifies her feelings and actions is so simple and easy to empathize with.
Naturally, the story includes other characters who are not simply cast aside. There are no chapters that completely explores a single character enough to become a long arc of redemption or development. Instead, its a series of flashbacks, small accomplishments, and background activities that eventually become the backbone of their development.
The story simply follows whatever happenings occur wherever the group goes. No involvement of any place or character where Frieren is not currently at. There is no extreme build up from side characters which relates directly to Frieren. Only whatever suits the characters based on the years that molded them into who they are now, will deservedly happen.
I cannot stress how much I have enjoyed this series. It has so much potential since there is no time constraint to push the story. Just as the near-immortals live their lives to however they deem fit, we accept the progression of the story however it decides to go. There is only anticipation for the release of the next chapter so that I can enjoy the story in its entirety and the dynamics between characters.
P.S. I will always reread it for the mimic interactions
