Now that I've seen up through s2e19, I just needed to yell a little about the fox/tanuki comparison brought up around the Scheming Dads, since it's one of my favorite folklore references to lean into with Hiroe. XD Eager to see more about Shenmei besides "absurdly abusive" and how exactly she ties into that.

Also, having seen the harvest festival episode, pondering them having maybe met as children at the shrine, since Hiroe unsurprisingly has a bit of an affinity for fox-affiliated shrines. Especially since foxes + harvest sounds like it's probably based on Inari, and as a Good Fox, default!Zenko is usually a servant/messenger/representative of Inari.

...also, man, now I've gotten more details about the history of the previous emperor, Hiroe'll be quietly bouncing off the walls wishing she could confide fully in Shisui. If only to have someone to vent to about how infuriating humans can be, at once pathetic and grotesque beyond description.

I'll be keeping my eyes peeled, but don't hesitate to poke me if you spot a meme or have an inspiration for another PSL thread with them tho, I'm enjoying them a lot already! <3
