Can't get over the fact that english webtoon still isn't admitting TM is on hiatus and technically can get away with that for over 2 more months
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
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'...
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 😭
I didn't actually cry because I'm not currently capable of it, but damn did seeing Tartah in wha kitchen get me close
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.
Chapter 96 on kmanga WHEN 😭😭😭

welcome back 🌌
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.
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.
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
Concept:
Tiny witch apprentices asking master Coco about the stone statue beside the silverwood tree, and Coco smiling and saying they keep other company.
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?
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
