This episode hits differently after hearing about the state of Elijah's desk. XD

2025-07-01 05:45:22 +0000 UTCFun fact: as a result of this episode, a chunk of the fandom started shipping the librarian with Hilda's mum (SHE: is a graphic designer; SHE: is a librarian; TOGETHER: they are... SKETCHBOOK). It works WEIRDLY well.

2024-12-18 21:28:04 +0000 UTCI love that the first time we see the librarian she comes out of nowhere with "this is the exact book you need" and when Freida question this seemingly magical ability David just accepts this as "isn't that her job?". It seems odd that in this most recent interaction she apparently drops the book they need by accident, like she is unable to not help people,

I've read that somewhere but I'm bad with accent so idk) you gotta admit that a reverse poltergeist, with a ghost cleaning the room and it's absence creating a mess, is pretty fun. I also like how the show doesn't immediately go back to the status quo, there was friction in the friend group and it will take a bit to amend a final thing: I had the same reaction as you when I saw the [redacted] coming from under Frida's bed, but while I don't want to spoil I think it's worth warning you that while it is part of the mystery, it isn't something that directly affect Frida's mind. I really hesitated to leave that bit but I think it's overall better to give you an idea of the true intent of the show with that small tease ^^

2024-12-17 18:02:59 +0000 UTCBeware the librarian - she plays at being their greatest ally, until it comes time for the Great Librarian Hunt, where Frieda's mistreatment of books results in an eternity of copying new books in their dungeon. Very scary.

2024-12-17 15:00:22 +0000 UTCI have a little bit more of a reaction to mosquitos and some other bugs esspecially as a kid. When I went camping it sometimes looked like I was attacked by a small swarm of them. I think its kinda funny he attracts bugs because I relate. I don't think there is actually anything behind it lore wise. They are in the scouts so they are around bugs more often.

2024-12-15 19:42:17 +0000 UTCFrida going through an identity crisis, David letting his resentment out when Frida's armor is cracked and Hilda is caught in between. Luckily her estranged aunt is there to help, even if it didn't work out,

2024-12-15 19:31:36 +0000 UTCWhen I got into this show, it was expecting cozy little mysteries and adventures. I was not prepared for the angst in this episode. It's realistic though, as every friend group at that age experiences some form of falling out. And it didn't correct itself in a 20 minute episode. I will assure you that the bugs on David thing is just that. A little quirk of the character. We all knew that kid growgrowing up who was unkempt, or dirty, or sticky, or smelly, etc. David is just the kid that always has a bug on him. Frida's attitude aside, I didn't really appreciate David going after her the way he did. But I think he may have just been harboring resentment for his own insecurities in comparing himself to his friend.

2024-12-15 18:42:36 +0000 UTCThe writing is actually old Norse runes. Don't know enough about them myself to tell if they're Elder or Younger Futhark(though most pop culture stuff tends to go with Elder). It's very much in line with how most of the magic stuff in the show is heavily based on Scandinavian myths and folklore. And the cultural stuff, too, come to think of it. The names(Hilda, Frida, Joanna), how the ancient people we see in the first two episodes are very Viking coded, etc.

2024-12-15 18:25:31 +0000 UTCOh yeah, the David bug thing. Can confirm he is literally just that one kid in every friend group that bugs like more than should be possible.
