Every time I check my notifications on this awful website it's just this star rail screenshot with various "me" and "[character]" tags. refusal to smash things with a bat will haunt me forever I fear

hello instagram artist. your challenge is to do a portrait study of a woman but you’re not allowed to stylize them so their eyes are really big and more cat eyed than the reference photo. You’re also not allowed to make their noses more of a button nose or their lips full and pouty or their faces heart shaped with no double chin. Also you have to draw a fat woman. one thats actually fat and not just slightly curvier than the kpop demon hunters body type. good luck

I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"

My little brother insisted if I was going to post about him, he wanted a cut of the "profits". When I explained to him that Tumblr isn't monetized, and is pretty pointless, he and my older brother pointed out that he'd still be bringing me "fame and notoriety" if the post got "big". So we agreed, if the post hit 10k notes, which seemed extremely farfetched and silly at the time, I'd take my little brother out for sushi (his favorite food) and let him eat as much as he wants.

I guess God wanted the little robot to enjoy some sushi 🍣 🥲

notes from shirahama's 5/7 twitter space 2/2

this part focuses on general tidbits from conversations during the twitter space shirahama hosted to celebrate her birthday, the 10th volume of wha, and the anime adaption announcement! these often happen before, between, and after the questions.

shirahama was the host of the space and at the beginning suzuki and hebizou hadn't joined yet so she was trying to fill up the silence. "i hope they come soon~" and "doing this by myself is pretty hard lol" was said a lot haha.

shirahama finished 3 pages during the space, since she was still working. what a beast!

sometimes shirahama gets asked worldbuildling questions (like the bday question) and will be like "maybe there's this" and "yea that might exist" to someone's suggestion. to which suzuki would often say "you haven't thought about this at all haven't you! you can just say you don't know or haven't thought about it instead of trying to pretend you have a nicely detailed answer lol".

i've forgotten the original context now but otagio became a topic of discussion for a bit. one thing was whether or not fudemushi exist in otagio's world (the modern au) and shirahama said they were probably something that would exist in zoos but wouldn't really be raised as pets. otagio didn't have his own fudemushi. also apparently in otagio's world fudemushi are like, a genre?? i suppose they're treated kinda like pokemon and that there exist other fudemushi works outside of otagio's fudemushi wars.

cafes became a topic, since sakura's work currently has a collaboration cafe going on, and rather than going with "a cafe based off the spinoff kitchen of witch hat" they went with "would otagio go there?" as the first thing to say (a japanese fan friend tweeted how they liked that otagio is beloved among the regulars).

at the beginning there was actually talk about the "leaks" of the anime announcement. shirahama mentioned that when she saw it buzzing among the international fans she wasn't sure what to do. since there are a lot of things she's not allowed to talk about regarding the anime, she often stays silent about it on twitter aside from saying "i'm the author of a work getting an anime adaption". everybody did say that fortunately the japanese fandom wasn't spreading leaks/news before the announcement so the element of surprise was kept locally at least.

shirahama talked about how when she was a kid, she didn't like it when animals had clothes on or walked on two legs like a human. she would often take off all the clothes and position the doll on all fours, which hebizou mentioned would be a concerning scene to witness a child do

hebizou didn't seem to tweet this last question, but "what magic tool would you like to use? i'd like to use the soar shoes" was asked at the end. suzuki mentioned that the shoes must actually be really difficult to use since there's only stop and go, and shirahama said that while the shoes are a bestseller there's nothing to stop other types of flying accessories or clothes. and the first example she gave was "for example, a pair of underpants where you clench your butt to activate the glyph". as you can imagine, a statement like that lit a fire of discussion. she also (jokingly) said that everybody in the wha world has thighs of thunder due to using the soar shoes. and the other also imagined what the learning period for the shoes was like (e.g. the teacher tying a rope to the kids when they're practicing). but ultimately the "flying underpants" became a hot topic, enough to replace the "wet futon" power. for context, a previous space that shirahama and suzuki were hosting got onto the topic of "what would you want to be able to make appear from your hands?" and shirahama's answer i believe was "i want to make wet futons from my hands" to help put out fires. the previous space was pretty wacky and in this space shirahama and suzuki said that having hebizou around really helped keep discussions on track ("secretary power").

honestly, i'm pretty sure there are other topics that were notable but the "flying underpants" at the end was so powerful that it clearly blew out all other tidbits from my brain.

wait i actually remembered some more stuff!

when miya came on, shirahama noted that her mom was a big fan of miya's work (which has an anime adaption currently) and would sometimes relay messages to miya through her daughter lol. hebizou's mother is also a fan of shirahama's work.

more on the animals wearing clothes part, but shirahama mentioned that if the animal was on a stand of some sort she'd also cut it off because she preferred for the animals to be not attached to anything. but oftentimes she would have to cut off the animals at the ankles instead, to everyone's horror. nowadays shirahama is a "regular" dog owner who enjoys dressing up her dogs. (hebizou doesn't dress up her dog though).

the spellings of the characters' names is made by the translators, and apparently they don't check in with shirahama to the surprise of the others. miya notes that translators check in with her a lot about spelling, though as she is a writer text is probably something paid more attention to. hebizou and suzuki note that for heaven's design team they wrote a guideline for translators to follow for future names (i.e. "the names follow this theme so just translate it like that").

i believe there was a question or comment about feeling hurt/sad when you draw sad scenes. shirahama would say "poor coustas" and stuff like that to which suzuki, ever the helpful tsukkomi, would jab back and say "it's your fault you know!"

witch hat atelier is great because in the first few chapters it looks like its really just going to be a cute magical girl story about hope and friendship but then you keep reading and its about how fascist societies fabricate a social structure to divide how power and information is disseminated and what life is like as a disabled person in that society. and then its also still about hope and friendship, but if hope and friendship could kill you.
