'Stories about immortal beings falling in love with young mortal women just don’t do it for me.'

Hard agree. Hate this trope with the passion of a thousand suns. I mean to complain about it in Dragon Age at great length one of these days. Shadow and Bone actually did it sort of okay (because the immortal being is based on the author's horrible ex, and it's very clear about the fact that he's evil and full of ulterior motives).

Also, looking forward to reading your Elderlings post!

I haven't read Shadow and Bone but based on the show I agree, i think it can work as long as we are shown that it's unhealthy and predatory. Sadly that's rare.

Thanks for the shoutout! I'm kinda embarrassed by how few female-led anime I've seen (Kaguya Sama and JoJo's part 6 are the only ones I can think of at short notice) so I'm looking forward to that post this month.

That’s a great way to describe the feeling of watching this movie. The Demeter movie actually looks very good, I was going to watch it when it came out but I wasn’t able to.
