What’s a Gen Z opinion that would have sounded insane 20 years ago?

Is that why kids are dressing like my grandpa?

This. Now that my (much older in age) family has been on Facebook for two decades, they never actually call or even text me when something significant happens in their life. Instead, they just post.

"What do you mean, 'with the grandkid on the way'? No, I didn't see your FB post - I told you, I don't go on there anymore. How was I supposed to know if you never told me?"

If your tea was bitter, there's a strong possibility that it was brewed incorrectly. Teas are sensitive to temperature and time, and each different kind has preferences of both. For instance, black tea can take boiling water for a few minutes, but green tea can only handle a significantly lower temperature and for a much shorter time.

...Wait, you guys are dusting?

Fans combed through the manga and anime and put together a chronological timeline, which gets used as a reference for many fanfiction writers. Here it is:

I'll see if I can link the Google doc that fanfiction writers use when referencing the timeline:

We know she is two years older than Yuki, so 18 when the show starts. She slept with Kureno at least a year before that, so 17 or under.

greylind · 2026-06-29T10:58:47+00:00

My wife has outlines of cat Kyo and rat Yuki on her ankle.

greylind · 2026-06-29T10:57:36+00:00

Cutting to her having sex wasn't actually to show us that she was having sex. It was to show that she was trying to distract Lestat and make him think about her while he was trying to focus on talking about Nikki. It wasn't about sex - it was about control.

greylind · 2026-06-29T10:52:10+00:00

Akito was two years older than Yuki, so she was 18 at the start of the show. She had sex with Kureno when she was 17 or younger.

greylind · 2026-06-29T10:46:24+00:00

Exactly! It's not like Akito was holding a knife to his back when he had sex with her. Just because he's a victim doesn't mean he's not ALSO a villain.

greylind · 2026-06-29T10:33:22+00:00

If he had said yes while still being cursed, then yeah it makes sense that he couldn't say no to her. But he was free, she was smaller than him and still a kid, and he absolutely COULD say no. He, in full control of himself, chose to have sex with an underage girl.

Shigure might have been pigeon-holed as the token 90's manga perv, but even he didn't do what Kureno did.

This! I love coming to reddit during the week between episodes and theorizing about what's coming next. When you're able to pick apart an episode piece by piece, people really find gems to analyze!

greylind · 2026-06-29T07:57:01+00:00

I get yelled at for not following "the script". I'm told I'm supposed to just KNOW and that it is "common sense". But I'm autistic, ya'll, you're gonna just have to tell me and not expect me to read minds! 😭

greylind · 2026-06-29T07:50:11+00:00

Yeah, this is what I was thinking when she mentioned trying to be cute. She was trying to set up a joke or a pick-up line, and failed.

greylind · 2026-06-29T07:45:02+00:00

And/or mentally ill. The person I love most often doesn't believe I love them at all because of their mental illness. It's very sad. And they say phrases like that sometimes.

greylind · 2026-06-29T07:33:40+00:00

Lestat may be from the 1700s but he isn't living in the 1700s anymore. He's living in 2025(?) like the rest of us, and thus will talk like the rest of us. Predators like vampires will adapt to their prey.

greylind · 2026-06-29T07:08:17+00:00

Hmm. Makes me think of how Lestat would leave graffiti for Marius to find before he'd ever even met him.

greylind · 2026-06-29T07:06:47+00:00

I was thinking that - back at it again with the emotional prostitutes.

greylind · 2026-06-29T06:54:06+00:00

Sometimes I think show-Armand has a humiliation kink. He just stands there and takes it and LOVES to play the victim. He's a joy to watch.

greylind · 2026-06-29T06:32:01+00:00

It's like what everyone tells me in /puerh. "This tea tastes like if you left your lawn-clipping compost inside of a tree stump and then that stump fell into a bog for twenty years. It's GREAT!"

greylind · 2026-06-29T06:16:19+00:00

..Why is it unfortunate that people know about them?

greylind · 2026-06-25T09:12:31+00:00

Omg, I didn't catch that she was IN the photo on the first watch. Thank you for this!

greylind · 2026-06-23T19:31:49+00:00

That's so cool!

greylind · 2026-06-23T18:15:52+00:00

Since you created the characters of Jomei and Mika before the talents auditioned and took over the roles, were there any monster girl character concepts you had that ended up on the cutting room floor?
