Oh, just stuff. Like how ordinary people will be fine dealing with a horse that's offering them a book, or clearly trying to communicate, then say things like 'Don't be stupid, horses can't ride trains!' It's like reality has been twisted about 90 degrees for this manga in a rather ridiculous fashion. But it's consistent and amusing rather than annoying.
As for what just happened...um, hero team is going after Lord (forget their name) in the enormous temple and has just split up.
Yeah, the manga is ridiculous, but again, it's in a consistent fashion (another example - the exact manner in which Gash and Tia charge toward things O_o) that amuses and delights rather than frustrates and bounces me out of the story. This is how things go in their world. This is how people are. Likely some parody and social commentary happening as well, but I'm too busy being amused.
And yeah, the various powers and demons are sometimes somewhat ridiculous or just bizarre, but at the same time we see some rather incredible strategies come out of that ridiculous stuff.
It's like the series just embraces its incredible weirdness without any thought of cringe, and then USES that as a vehicle to drive plot and character development. ^_^
Loving it.
I feel, based on discussion, that most people are creeped out to at least some extent by snakes and spiders. Movement is very alien, they have bad reps, people are afraid of venoms, etc. For myself, having handled snakes from a young age I'm not at all worried about them (Edit: other than the actually venomous ones), but I completely understand if other people are, and I 100% understand phobias. Heck, it's the same with spiders - some people aren't creeped out by them at all.
Bell curves. ^_^
Phobias being somewhat different than 'have a natural fear of snakes and spiders because Reasons', of course, being literally classed as an Anxiety Disorder. And they often have nothing actually to do with the fear, itself (mine seems tied to my self-confidence and childhood trauma, and I am fully aware that at least in my situation spiders are 99.9995% harmless - there's nothing sufficiently venomous around here, and while wolf spiders can get awfully large, they're not dangerous at all).
Edit: Amusingly, the wiki entry states that specific phobias should be treated with exposure therapy. I tried that. It...didn't work out, and in fact my phobia got worse at that time (bleah, bad memories). Maybe it would work better now, and certainly over the years I've become more desensitized to spiders - my phobia no longer rules me in the same way it did when I was in my teens (part of this having also to do with no longer having crippling lack of confidence, I suspect). Getting surprised by a large one or the sight (even in photographs) of one of the really big kinds can still provoke a full-on phobic reaction, though, and I still have anxiety over that kind of thing (as illogical as that might be).
Sorry to hear that - sounds rather miserable.
Phobias suck.
