[@connorr8071]

I love the fact that half of Herta's baking attempts blew up because she was trying to use Simulated Universe Curios as kitchen utensils and ingredients. 😂

[@jelgameclips]

So when Ruan Mei says she prefers the smaller one, I’m assuming she means she likes Herta’s failed attempt more? That’s adorable

[@m0racle]

Nope, it’s because Herta has a small cake. Also, it’s quite likely for Herta to say that her small cake is or has a good taste. Because there’s no clarity on why would Herta automatically assume that by liking the smaller cake means having a good taste by normal sense, it only makes sense if the cake in question is not a literal cake.

[@Wolfwood2057]

I like how she girlfails and it's not even that she never admits it She never acknowledges it Even the moment Ruan Mei says she wants the burnt cake Herta goes "Since when did you develop good taste?" as if that burnt food is a delicacy Like even when she does it wrong, it's perfect just because she did it.

[@wolhaiiik5387]

I always like when a show's genius interacts with magic and their way of viewing it, the most interesting one being them treating magic as unexplained science so just future tech yet to be discovered. So I'm even more fond of the reverse they did with Herta here, her being witch theme'd is definitely a sign that most if not everyone(including us) can't understand or comprehend how smart she is or how her technology works so all we/they see is a witch performing "magic".

[@RailGun256]

To be entirely fair, there was a large segment of history where science was effectively "magic" to most people, so much so that scientists were actively persecuted because it went against the church's religious standing. Honestly the magic aesthetic fits with this because she's supposedly that much of a genius that normal people just see the stuff she does as "magic"

Clarke's three laws: 1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. 2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. 3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. So, is it magic.. or really advanced science?

Reminder that Ruan Mei is in text stated to be aromantic. Not directly, but she stated herself that she doesn't understand the concept of love. This was probably intended to allude more to her antisocial nature, but it still makes her aromantic even if unintentionally So her scene either IS platonic (at least from Ruan MEi's side) or they have practically reconned her

[@lplayz605]

It could also mean she's alixithymic. I like the aromantic interpretation too tho.

[@225Reaver]

Ruan Mei may be aromantic, but she certainly did take a good long sniff of The aromatic Herta!

Guys hear me out, Herta showed off a stupendously huge ‘cake’, and Ruan Mei replied with saying that she prefers a smaller one while doing a sus expression. Herta replied with asking Ruan Mei since when did she have a good taste… Knowing Herta, she would likely refer to her own ‘cake’ as the good taste, especially to Ruan Mei.
