i love olruggio witchhat so much. he’s a sun-coded black cat. he’s a lethally chronic procrastinator. he’s a girl dad. he lies to the police. his magic is warm. his kids bully him and they’re right. he’s in a decade-long magically induced situationship, but he doesn’t know it’s cursed and he’s in it for love of the game. he’s lowkey a celebrity but chooses to live in a cottage on the countryside with said situationship and their four children. he sleeps on the couch. he was a crazy child. he’s a bit of a picky eater. he has chronic anemia and is two minutes away from passing out at all times. he hates hurting things so much that he struggles to kill a disgusting giant leech. he’s a burnt out gifted kid. he is begrudgingly excellent at one of his jobs and on-purposely atrocious at the other one. he has a baby face and is nearly unrecognizable without his beard. he carries an enormous, inexplicable guilt. he’s the sky’s kindest, most radiant star. he’s the perfect man

This is true of the manga, but I love how the anime accentuates the absolute physical trust the apprentices have with Qifrey. Specifically with Agott, the way she is so ready when Qifrey says “hang on tight, I need my hands free” to cling to him a mile into the sky, and then in the latest episode, how, as soon as she impacts Qifrey while flying to him, she makes no move to save herself, she just curls into him and trusts that he will keep them from falling.

And I think it works as a signal to the audience, to subtly go “hey, I know we don’t trust Qifrey right now, he’s being shady, but we can always trust him to protect the physical wellbeing of his kids. Remember that.” Idk man maybe I’m getting too attached to a teeny detail but aaaaaaghhhh that’s her dad.

#omg this is so true #it makes for a good back and forth #wha spoiler ahead #later on in the manga #Olly questions whether Quifrey ac cares for Coco or whether he's using her for his own benefit #and heck I was questioning him too #but then he goes and he does things like this #and you have to realize that while Quifrey will remains true to himself and his goals #he won't hesitate to put his life on the line for those he cares about #honestly #it's so admirable that he's able to care about others and himself like that #witch hat atelier #qifrey

The reason Qifrey is so awesome and relatable is because he wants to live. Man in his twenties being ominous as hell and breaking laws left and right and messing with forces beyond comprehension and lying to the cops and doing horrible things to the people who love him most and constantly destroying his own mental health and you peel back the layers and the motivation is "God I want to grow old someday."

The canonical feminisation of Dean is so fascinating. I don't know a single other piece of media that's ever done anything like it. Sometimes it's subtle and subtextual, but often it's the polar opposite.

There's the parentification of Dean into the role of wife and mother.

Dean being literally forcefemmed sexually by Rhonda when she makes him wear pink panties.

The way people talk about his looks, like Gwen saying he 'has delicate features for a hunter'.

Azazel calling Sam 'son' but calling Dean 'daddy's little girl'.

'Daddy' is more utilised by female characters than male, often to signify youth, innocence, and naivety, but it crops up often for Dean. The above from Azazel. Dean's own subconscious calling him 'Daddy's blunt little instrument'. Most strikingly, Henrickson saying 'Daddy brainwashed you with all that devil talk and no doubt touched you in a bad place'.

And that last one, the little remarks and plot points that time and again suggest Dean is a victim of CSA. The 'nobody's a virgin' line. The way he is paralleled with Bela. It's rare that male characters ever get this treatment.

It's just such fascinating characterisation. On the surface, Dean is all tough-guy machismo: he drives a cool car, wears a leather jacket and work wear, listens to metal, drinks whiskey, and is chillingly comfortable with violence. But this is so often framed as compensation for the fact that underneath it all, he's just a traumatised, damaged kid who grew up too fast and has suffered through countless horrors.

And he's Daddy's little girl.
