Frieren 1x21-22 | Watch Along

nerdy, standoffish bf and psychotic, murderous gf. name a more iconic duo

Regarding Fern, Stark, and Orange Juice: There's an old Japanese adage that Grandmas and Grandpas tell their kids about the perils of late-night eating. "Kuutte sugu neru to ushi ni naru" translating to "If you sleep right after eating, you will turn into a cow." This folklore is meant to prevent poor digestion and weight gain. It's cute expression of care that Fern has decided to enforce as an iron-clad rule and being super extra about it lol. My guess is Fern is probably repeating what Heiter told her, and he was probably repeating what the caretakers at the orphanage told him lol.
