Isn't brother/sister stuff a thing in anime in general? I've run into it a couple times recently while looking for potential animes, even in a recommendation from a friend who usually stays away from the creepy stuff.It is, it is. It's just... hard to describe. There's a difference between that and what I'm running into, though I'm having trouble putting it into words. Part of it is probably because, you know, these are punch magic series -- they're not exactly romcoms or porn light stuff, they're about casting fist until everyone falls down, so the whole incest angle feels even more off than normal. The rest of it may just be because of how straight it's being played... in a lot of the brother/sister stuff in other genres it's fairly obvious (and often incredibly blatant), that they're playing it off for titillation and teh smex. These are... not, really. They're more straight up "We serious incest romance sideplot now". Which, as I noted, I wasn't exactly expecting to find in my punch magic adventure romp.
edit: This might be a little late, but Frumple, have you had mint tea? It's great stuff. All the fun of tea but with a better flavor and no caffeine.Few times, but it's been a while, so I don't really recall the flavor. My usual opinion of decaffeinated tea is "heresy, burn it", so I haven't exactly had much tea in the last long bit :V
Yeah, it's absolutely awful without the creme de menthe. It has the advantage of adding alcohol, as well. Go light on the tea.... ah. Actually looked up creme de menthe. I'll have to think on it some, since alcohol is a no-go and coffee is terrible. Still, we've got actual peppermint plants somewhere around here,* iirc, so the mint flavor could be added pretty easily without the vileness that is alcohol. Not sure what to replace the coffee with, though. Part of me is now wondering what happens when you boil peanut butter into tea, since peanut butter and chocolate together ends up a fair amount like coffee without the horrid bits. Maybe try something in the near future, I'unno.
The ideal beverage is a combination of coffee, black tea, chocolate syrup, and creme de menthe. Just gonna throw that out there.... I guess it's the coffee and creme that makes the chocolate work with the tea? Because every attempt at mixing tea and chocolate I've tried has been horrendous. Easily some of the worst drink combinations I've ever made, to the point I've generally just kind of wrote off continuing to experiment with the combo (well, above and beyond having stopped drinking caffeinated stuff in general).
