I like when people tag witch hat atelier stuff with "#wha" because it looks like they're just gently befuddled by fanart or whatever

Do you feel bad right now? Kinda listless, like everything is being dumped on you? Eternal misery that cannot be fixed? Try eating a potato. You'll feel a lot better.

Potatoes, while obviously the single most lifegiving crop in human history, have gotten a bit of an unfair rap in the media. Be it because of carbohydrates, not enough greenery, or the fact that everyone only eats them fried to a crisp in oil and heavily salted, it seems like there is always a chance for our so-called "truth tellers" to deliver a slam to the noble spud.

Of course, improving your mood will require cooking a potato. Eating them raw does not seem to make me feel any better. And that can be difficult, if you are already feeling pretty terrible. That's why I think we should replace the police with people who hand out a baked potato. They could have like a little oven or something with them and when you want one, you get one.

Now, now, I hear a lot of you saying: oh, but then who will arrest the criminals? That's scarcity thinking. There'll be no criminals anymore. If you're feeling like you might want to rob a bank, it's possible that you just need a baked potato. With chives, little sour cream, bacon bits? Any nearby Potato Officer will provide, and then you can go right back to having a productive life, doing some kind of weird hobby instead of threatening to shoot a bunch of people unless they give you money that you would just use to buy potatoes anyway.

So I want you to think about this the next time the city police budget comes up for renewal. That could buy a lot of potatoes. Hell, it could buy some fried potatoes. Damn, that sounds pretty good right now, doesn't it? Way better than having some kind of unaccountable stealth helicopter flying down your alley because some asshole didn't get to eat dinner this evening and has committed an unspeakable crime about it.

OBASI + NOCTIS - NEW REFERENCES ! ( both characters are butch lesbians, she/he! )

Obasi and Noctis have a relationship that cannot be described in simple terms. They have known each other for over twenty years and have forged a bond that is deeper than most— and they— realize. The two had originally met each other at one of the many garden parks throughout Haderia. When Noctis was not covered in blood in the ring, she was putting her knowledge of botany to the test. Meanwhile, Obasi was merely a hobbyist when it came to plant care. Obasi had visited the garden in hopes of finding an allium flower for her collection, which Noctis gladly aided her in finding. Little did they know, this shared interest would lead to a appetite that would quite never be sated. Their love would become nothing short of an ache. Obasi and Noctis, although not "officially" partners, were responsible for raising Mitsue. Mitsue is not their daughter per-say, and they'd rather not be referred to as her parents, but they providied a life for her when nobody else would. Obasi and Noctis have a shared care for Mitsue and when they cannot see eye to eye, they try their best to for her sake. But that isn’t to say they’re necessarily good role models. Due to their incompetence, Mitsue has been raised with a great deal of emotional inconsistency and a personal division between both Obasi and Noctis.

i can't believe it's been 2 years since i updated obasi and noctis' references! initially i was going to post them separate, but i felt that it would be fitting to share them together. they are an unconvential duo after all. most of what you need to know about them as individuals is written on their reference sheets!

i'm so happy with how far they've come. for anyone who isn't familiar with them, obasi and noctis (and mitsue!) are the protagonists of my crime/horror book "blade in the city".

Obasi and Noctis have a relationship that cannot be described in simple terms. They have known each other for over twenty years and have forged a bond that is deeper than most— and they— realize. The two had originally met each other at one of the many garden parks throughout Haderia. When Noctis was not covered in blood in the ring, she was putting her knowledge of botany to the test. Meanwhile, Obasi was merely a hobbyist when it came to plant care. Obasi had visited the garden in hopes of finding an allium flower for her collection, which Noctis gladly aided her in finding. Little did they know, this shared interest would lead to a appetite that would quite never be sated. Their love would become nothing short of an ache. The two are both very emotionally resistant when it comes to forming close bonds. Obasi has a difficult time allowing herself to be seen and she repeatedly demeans herself because of unresolved troubles that she swallows and swallows, until it eats her up, until she’s nothing but closed off and cold. Noctis projects herself loudly and she wants to be seen despite that she has no real confidence in herself, it’s all a ruse. This has lead to not only a fragile connection, but an inability to fully pursue their emotional needs. They cannot fully love one another until they learn to love themselves. Regardless, Obasi allowed Noctis into her life and vice versa, although they will never get too close for comfort. Noctis fell for Obasi first, but Obasi fell so much harder. They care for each other deeply, trusted each other with secrets and traumas unknown to the world, and they even pursued a small garden together in light of a shared interest. They have much to grow from, and that is where their real story begins…

height diff for y'all too
