Lab Etiquettes with Dr. Grace and Rocky

[alexxuun]

A mini PHM comic about Grace growing old. I wanted to explore two ideas: Rocky dealing with Grace’s dementia and Grace wanting to donate his body to science. I spend so much time on figuring out the dialogue (some part still feel clunky to me) but I hope it express my thoughts on where I think Grace’s life would go :)

Title is based on a song by M83

The other day I saw someone bitching on bsky about how long time Witch hat manga fans are (allegedly) frustrated that the new explosion of Olruggio and Quifrey shipping culture born from the anime adaptation in ruining the fandom. OP claimed this could not possibly be true bc OruFrey shippers were always part of the fandom.

This righteous indignation came from, of course, someone with a Quifrey pfp who has been posting OruFrey non stop for weeks while not making a single post about Coco, or Tetia, or Agott, or etc etc.

I'm harkened back to when Dungeon Meshi got an anime, and a fandom that had previously been thoroughly dominated by Falin/Marcille, an F/F ship, was suddenly taken over by people shipping Senshi and Chilchuck. Notably this beat out the previously popular Kabru/Laios, a ship featuring a black man with a character heavily coded and interpreted as autistic.

To the credit of anime onlys, Kabru takes some time to show up and get real interaction with Laios. That said, while I'm not much of a shipper Senshi and Chilchuck feel lacking in any real chemistry considering the former mistakes the latter for a child for most of the series, and it kind of felt like the anime fandom was just looking for any two men that they didn't find too "weird" to mash together until something better came along. This is in spite of Marcille's very clear devotion and love (be it platonic or romantic) for Falin being evident from the get go.

This is in no way a manifesto against shipping the pretty beautiful Witch Hat Atelier men, but I DO think it's worth taking a minute to consider how larger fandom spaces tend to favor and center men, even in works that are explicitly about women and girls. Fandom/shipping culture isn't a monolith, but there are a lot of cases where the original work ends up coming second to whatever hot guys du jour can be slotted into the popular, pre-rendered bl roles and tropes, and personally I think fandom spaces actually suffer from it.

Edit: this post is advocating for reducing how much we center fandom around shipping men and advocating for more investment in female characters generally, including outside of shipping. This post is not about shipping other characters from Witch Hat.
