¡¡ BIG MANGA SPOILERS !!

I feel like I've probably seen this before... But now I did it

¡¡ BIG MANGA SPOILERS !!

Do you think Qifrey has an extremely detailed diary in case his memory gets whipped, and if so how far back does he have written?

[rim-void]

Uh well I was working on Artfight references

I got interrupted by Tachyon

[rim-void]

I was showing my brother (anime only) WHA manga panels and I got to brushbully

He asked me "why is the bully black?"

Listen man, think about this with me for a minute.

Coco, Qifrey, and Atwert: lighter color palette

Agott, Olruggio, and Galga: darker color palette

~dark x light ship dynamic

~brushbully is representing Agott

= brushbully x buddy are gay

To be clear, I think it's understandable to worry it was a racist implementation.

I don't see people talk often enough about how witch society takes kids away from their parents at such young ages.

Not big spoilers, but manga related !

I'm gonna assume Agott is ~12 currently, and ~7 when her mother disowned her. But the others seem more disconnected to bio parents / clan so I'm thinking they moved away before the age of 7 as this is the age Agott's future was judged.

Children need the stability / consistency of their family for proper development, and add on the pressure of learning everything to be a witch!? It didn't take an expert in child psychology to realize that every witch probably has some level of trauma no matter how good the teacher they had.

[alpaca-clouds]

Actually, I would kinda disagree with this. Because this is based on this idea that a child needs their birth family to be around, which is just not the case. The manga does somewhat show us a bunch of family related child abuse and neglect. The idea that the birth family is necessarily more stable/consistent is one of the biggest factors in child abuse in the real world, as it often will put kids into abusive situations under the assumption that an abusive birth family is safer than a non-abusive foster place. (Mind you: obviously in the real world the foster system is indeed filled with abuse. Real bad abuse. I was abused in the foster system, just as much as with my birth family before. But that is largely related to other factors.)

Kids need safe adults around - but blood relation is not needed for that. The general issue with the witch world in WHA is more that personal development is clearly heavily stifled by the very limiting ideals of what is and isn't acceptable, more so than the base issue of removing kids from their families. Because those strict rules generally put a lot of pressure on the kids in this society to perform acceptability, which is clearly largely what traumatized at least Richeh and Agott.

[rim-void]

I'm gonna made an edit to my post to clear this up cuz my words definitely came out wrong, my bad (⁠;⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠)

I'm not trying to say that blood relations are inherently more stable, but that stability itself is very important to a childs development, either in their bio family or in an teacher/adoptive family.

I personally was abused by caregivers, but even so, moving away from said caregivers still caused instability in my life.

And I don't mean that children shouldn't move away from abusive situations because it causes instability, but rather that witch society is exacerbating instability with how it's structured (assuming that the majority of witches aren't abusive towards their kids). A foster system is definitely very reasonable to have in any society, but that doesn't mean kids should be thrown into it when they have a stable and non abusive caregivers.

*(this is less about specific characters is WHA and more about the structure of witch society, sorry for confusion! Read my comments and reblogs for deeper thoughts, might edit them in later)

Witch hat atelier is the absolute best disability rep I've ever seen. It makes me so damn happy

I just finished volume 9 so no spoilers please!

Custas was given a sealchair, but it isnt perfect, he's unable to walk some paths or he trips. And even when he's given wings he's still at risk of them being stolen, and im assuming they take way more energy than walking.

And Beldaruit, he uses a sealchair, but actually not really, he's using magic to pretend like he's running around and everytime we know its actually him he's much more low energy. This really felt so relatable as someone who will act high energy in text even if im bed bound that day. And seeing the girls consider what could prevent him from seeing their show and actually accommodate him by widening the path!!!!! Gods i wish people could do that more often

Tartah trys to hide his disability to the point of not even accommodating himself by labeling things and just memorizing everything. Qifrey hides his disability and is so damn uncomfortable when people talk about it, big part due to rhe truma around it yeah, but let a guy project here.

The shame that their disabilitys come with is so heartbreaking and just fit perfectly into the theme of characters being uncomfortable in their body. Euini is another perfect representation of disability and not fiting your body. Euini is just the most obvious trans allegory but its still perfectly written. Him running away because he knows he couldn't go back home, and him kinda accepting his wolf body while saying goodbye (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠). Also i love that its written in a way where this world doesn't have to be straight up transphobic to have a trans story where he isn't accepted.

Just rambling today but whatever

[rim-void]

For anyone still coming across this thread I want to refer you to a wonderful thread on Beldaruit's disability!!
