obsessed by how the brushbuddy's mouth is only drawn if it's open but its anus is there everytime we see it belly up

#witch hat atelier #brushbuddy #why #is it just for the bit #is there an artistic reason i can't guess

I know this is a very minor gripe, and it doesn't negate the fact that wha is a very progressive story and should be acknowledged as such, but. For a manga that is about art and accessibility and social inequalities among other things, the general lack of left-handed characters is VERY disappointing.

I'm not even asking for a plot-relevant left-handed character, but we see a lot of characters using main hand tools (mainly drawing, but also writing or using knives) and it'd be nice if a few of them (say, one in five) could maybe do it with their left hand. (And don't come at me about that one panel of Olruggio writing with his left hand, we also see him casting with his right, and ambidextrous is not the same as left-handed.)

Not that it wouldn't be super easy to have a somewhat plot-relevant left-handed character, given that getting the right pen is a major thing in universe, and ergonomic pens are often asymmetrical and therefore different for right-handed and left-handed people, and it would have been very easy to have a background witch mention the hassle of getting a left-handed pen, or something.

And the thing is, I'm having very conflicted feeling about this whole thing, because on one hand, as is said in the silver eve arc, it's difficult for people who don't have a specific need to realise other people have it, especially when those other people are few and/or marginalized. I don't know how left-handed people are treated in Japan, but as long as the inequalities are more subtle than 'kids getting their left hand tied to the desk so they have to write with their right', it's understandable that a right-handed person might go their whole life without realizing that the world is very much optimized for them in ways that are inconvenient to harmful for left-handed people.

But on the other hand, I feel very much like Tartah when he said 'I'm tired of people assuming everyone sees the world like they do'...

#witch hat atelier #left handed #the thing about tied left hands is a real thing that teachers did in my country #and it only stopped being allowed when physical punishment in general got forbidden #nowadays ressource departments in worplaces will buy 100 pairs of right-handed cissors and not once consider buying 20 left-handed ones #and when you go to them to ask you have a non-zero chance of some old guy who thinks he's funny making a joke about how inconvenient you ar #once again we are roughly 20 percent of the population

I was thinking about how we'd get a canonical english pronunciation for Olruggio on Monday and it made me realize that I've been reading the 'u' as /y/ even though I KNOW Japanese doesn't have that vowel and even if it did it wouldn't be romanized as 'u' in English.

I'm reading romanization-for-english with french pronunciation AGAIN.

I swear I've been fluent in English for over a decade and I've been able to (mostly) correctly pronounce it for several years longer but the MOMENT I see an obviously non-english word it's back to French with my stupid ass brain 😭

#witch hat atelier #olruggio #for those wondering /y/ is the sound upsilon made in ancient greek #hence y being the ipa symbol for it #currently it's the sound 'u' makes in french #and also the sound 'y' makes in german #guess i have 3 days to get used to calling him olrooggio

I didn't actually cry because I'm not currently capable of it, but damn did seeing Tartah in wha kitchen get me close

#witch hat kitchen #witch hat atelier spoilers #i guess #like first of all wdym tartah's biggest issue is eating his vegetables #but also in a softer world he could've become qifrey's apprentice and that hurts

I acknowledge that I have no idea how to even begin measuring such a thing, making the following statement unverifiable and therefore mostly worthless, but.

I don't think anime and manga is generally more grossly misogynistic than western cartoons and comics.

I do, however, think that it would make sense for a western woman to find anime and manga crossing her "too much misogyny to bear" line more often than western cartoons and comics, simply because the shape of the misogyny is different, and it's easier to ignore things you're more used to.

It's natural to have higher tolerence to the sauce you've been cooked in, after all.

#anime #manga #misogyny #sexism #racism #no the main body of this post does not contain thoughts on whether stating that animanga is more misogynistic is racist #that's an important discussion to have and one that naturally follows from this post #but i think there might be benefits to just pointing out the biased thought and let people observe the greater social issue on their own #also i'm a western woman and i don't know that it's my place to have this discussion

#the tiny bit of circle poking out from under the fold is murdering me #witch hat atelier #witch hat atelier spoilers #i guess

So I was intrigued about what kind of degenerative vision issue could possibly cause photophobia, and it turns out (one of) the answer(s) is cataracts. And like, when wondering I did consider and then reject cataracts because surely the lens of the eye becoming opaque would make you less sensitive to light not more, but I was wrong.

Of course Qifrey's issue might be something related to the tree rather than a real life medical issue, but the reason Olrugio recognizes that anti-bright-light sigil as something for "someone whose sight is going" is probably cataracts.

Today I learned, etc.

#witch hat atelier spoilers #witch hat atelier #why does cataracts cause photophobia you ask #well i didn't fully get the explanation so it's probably wisest to look it up yourself #but it's got to do with how the opacity is uneven #also if qifrey's issue is cataracts it might explain why the tree isn't fixing it #cause the tree can replace or add things but it probably can't remove your lens

Re-read chapter 88 to check the details of Quifrey's explanation and let me tell you: that man has NO business looking this pretty while saying this shit.

Like, sir. Master witch. Stop that. This is serious. Now is NOT the time to literally glitter.

#witch hat atelier #witch hat atelier spoilers #when i read it the first time i was appropriately sad #but without the shock factor i'm mostly too busy cooing #i wanna hold him gently in my hands like he's a butterly or a porcelain doll

I am normal about the tree scene I am normal about the tree scene I am SO fucking normal about the tree scene I swear

#witch hat atelier #wha anime #does this count as #witch hat atelier spoilers

Concept:

Tiny witch apprentices asking master Coco about the stone statue beside the silverwood tree, and Coco smiling and saying they keep other company.

#witch hat atelier #witch hat atelier spoilers #you know #so she's not leaving them all alone whenever she goes somewhere #you know when qifrey tells coco she smiles just like him?#that's the smile she has when she says it #also don't ask where this comes from the idea just popped into my head and i decided to share the suffering

I don't care what everyone else says, All Star by Smash Mouth will always be the Digimon song to me

Do I remember the scene it went with? No. But I remember listening to the Digimon: The Movie soundtrack after watching it and actually paying attention to the lyrics and they changed me, okay?

#all star #smash mouth #digimon the movie #i understand that i might be dating myself here but to be fair that movie was already pretty old when i watched it

The thing is, I understand that there are issues regarding medication, especially but not solely regarding mental health medication; I know that there are people who see teenagers with behavior problems and go 'we should just throw ritalin at them' because they don't want to bother looking further, I know that antidepressants and anxiolytics aren't going to be of much help if the outside stressors causing the depression and anxiety aren't at least managed if not dealt with, and I know that 'becoming addicted to a controlled substance after it was prescribed' being a common story is a symptom of a dysfunction in medical care, because doctors who prescribe addictive substance should help and monitor the weening process,

BUT

just ONCE I would like a piece of art touching on this subject to be about how the proprer treatment will change your life in ways you never thought possible instead of going 'the system is trying to keep us docile by dosing us with tranquilizers'

Teenage Mercenary Abridged Arc List

Notes: -I made this on my own according to my best judgment. If someone else has already made one I'd like to know, if some arcs already have official names please tell me, if you disagree with anything or see a way it could be improved, I am entirely willing to take suggestions. -The 'abridged' part means I'm trying to be as short as possible, so I only write a summary if I don't think the name is obvious, and I only mention specific events if it's not obvious which arc they happen in -I'll edit this as time goes on, I'll try to keep it so the last arc of the post is the last one you can fully read for free on webtoon without ads, but no promises
