There needs to be shorthand for "I agree with the basic good that you are defending, but your obsession with winning arguments online has caused you to warp your whole worldview and deny the complexity of reality just to make sure every aspect of the world supports the basic argument that you are defending and you need to stop."

they should invent a job for autistic people where you get paid for thinking about special interest. At the end of the day your boss comes in hands you a form that asks "did you think about special interest today" & you answer "yeah " & then they give you a million dollar. every day forever.

this morning i am thinking about how it is extremely funny to me and only ever gets funnier that the position of Impartial Third-Party Overseer of qifrey's atelier is filled by olruggio

you know, that guy famously known to be qifrey's lifelong best friend/codependent situationship

and everyone's just like

"yeah, sure. checks out."

as qifrey and his apprentices* do one million crimes a week and not a single report is ever filed unless the feds happen upon it themselves lol lol lmao

*olruggio also takes a hand in their care and feeding and instruction and their uniforms are styled with mixed elements from his and qifrey's and they call him master olly but shhhhhh He Is Not Their Master, Legally Speaking, Okay

I mean, that's the point though isn't it? The system is broken and makes it really easy for witches to get away with installing an overseer who isn't going to meaningfully protect students from an abusive teacher. It's a deliberate choice by Shirahama to illustrate how children are vulnerable to abuse in witch society.

[glamaphonic]

I mean, it's not the point of THIS post because I was... I was joking around. About Olly supposedly being there in a professional capacity, but really just chilling with his husband and four kids.

Like obviously many of the failures of witch society's education system are quite apparent and intentional. Though there being an overseer at all is something only recently instituted by Beldaruit as a reform, according to Shirahama. So I would argue we're not supposed to see them as the problem. Especially in this particular case where I would say that realistically Qifrey is only getting away with Olly being his Watchful Eye because of nepotism, so their situation actually ISN'T meant to be a commentary on the system as a whole. Not least because a) obviously Qifrey isn't abusing his apprentices, b) all the abuse of apprentices we DO see actually seems to take place at the Great Hall where we understand ateliers do NOT have individual Watchful Eyes assigned (and indeed in Richeh's case it's implied that the Watchful Eyes helped resolve her situation), and c) the principle violations that Qifrey's atelier are involved in are never held by the narrative as something that should be reported and, indeed, are usually framed as being ethical not to report.

But again, that's all orthogonal to this post. Cuz of the jokes.

idk anything abt that witch anime you’ve been reblogging lately but “Qifrey and Olruggio” are some of the most blorbo-ass names i’ve ever seen. the platonic ideal of “mutual blogging about a new ship i’ve never heard of in my life but im glad they’re having fun”

LOOOOOOL you're riiiight
