And despite me having tagged a bunch of triggers (for honesty), its more of a case in like a kids tv show like yes technically these dark things are there but few are is triggered by or even notice it due to the general theme and lack of seriousness.
Kinda like cartoon logic, sure theyre doing life threatening things but they're immortal so it doesn't have the same stakes kind of vibe a la roger rabbit, rather than recent gritty dc movies or a horror movie lol
The only really triggering and unnecessary part for me as a survivor of a bunch of bs, is the body shaming of the women

There was a disconcerting amount of humor which revolved around men being in dresses in a theatrical setting. It was particularly frustrating when someone of it was from a Dwarf, who (at least later on in the series) have an approach to gender which I’ve been promised I’ll like, but clearly had some issues to work out in this one. The “joke” began and ended with “that man is in a dress”, which is 1) not actually a joke and 2) potentially transphobic.
The Fool is my favorite character, his backstory is very moving and his romance is genuinely sweet. Overall this one is fine but not amazing.
