This post is in honor of me introducing my roommate to the greatest sitcom ever made

[wha-archive]

Afternoon all, hope you're having a good day. The above was posted by WHA's German Publisher, Egmont Manga, following the Leipzip Book Fair that Shirahama just attended, and I'd seen the wonderful WitchHatUpdates account on twitter share these screenshots and wanted to share it here too as I whole heartedly agree with the publisher here. By purchasing from official sources or second-hand from fans selling old copies at reasonable prices we can keep our fan community low on scalper behaviour. This will be extremely critical when the anime comes out and we see an influx of fans and the opportunists looking to exploit their wallets. This is especially true of extremely limited items such as event-specific goods - it's one thing to buy an old artbook that was available for online preorders at double price, it's entirely another to encourage physical spaces to be swarmed with people looking to make money in the literal place where a fan could have been.

English ALT text is below, if someone would be willing to transcribe the German I can also add that.

[ID: A screenshot of an instagram post from Egmont Manga's account (egmontmanga). It consists of white text on a black background, arranged into 2 columns. The text reads: "Hello everyone! We've received messages that some people want to sell the trade fair edition of 'Atelier of Witch Hat' at exorbitant prices; one person even sold a signed shikishi, which, to be honest, disappoints us. "The bad news is: we can't do anything about it. [Emoji of a right pointing arrow, to direct you to the next column.] "The good news is: you can! Simply by doing nothing. If you stick together as a community and no one responds to these offers, these people will be left with their offers. "Using books and shikishi in this way is neither in our interest nor the artist's interest. The same applies here as concert tickets: don't buy from third parties at exorbitant prices. "Best regards, your Egmont Manga Team [hand-heart emoji]" END ID]

[ID: ein Screenshot eines Instagram Posts des Egmont Manga Account (egmontmanga). Er besteht aus weißem Text auf einem schwarzen Hintergrund, aufgeteilt in zwei Spalten. Der Text lautet: "Hallo ihr Lieben! Uns erreichen Nachrichten, dass es einige Menschen gibt, die die Messe-Edition von „Atelier of Witch Hat" zu Wucherpreisen verkaufen möchten, eine Person sogar ein signiertes Shikishi, was uns ehrlich gesagt auch enttäuscht. "Die schlechte Nachricht ist: wir können hier leider nichts dagegen tun. "Die gute Nachricht ist: Ihr schon! Einfach indem ihr nichts tut. Wenn ihr als Community zusammenhaltet und niemand auf diese Angebote eingeht, bleiben diese Menschen auf ihren Angeboten sitzen. [Pfeil-Emoji das auf die nächste Spalte zeigt] "Das Bücher und Shikishi auf diese Weise genutzt werden, ist weder in unserem Sinne, noch im Sinne der Künstlerin. "Das Bücher und Shikishi auf diese Weise genutzt werden, ist weder in unserem Sinne, noch im Sinne der Künstlerin. "Hier gilt wie bei Konzerttickets: Kauft nicht bei Dritten zu Wucherpreisen. "Liebe Grüße, Euer Egmont-Manga-Team" [Herz-Hand Emoji] END ID]

Rewatching community and the gayest episode is absolutely the Valentine's Day episode where Troy and Abed go on a date with a librarian and ask her to choose between them and then have the most fun just being on a date together.

Meanwhile Britta is on a date with a lesbian who is actually a straight girl who think she's a lesbian and somehow the whole subplot just highlights that Annie is the most lesbian-coded. The way she's nervous and fascinated by lesbians and trailing after Britta like a lost puppy. Her interactions with the not-lesbian's "not lesbian" bff.

I'm back on my soapbox about Annie "Comphet" Edison. Maybe Annie "Butch Bait" Edison.

Community is so important to me in ways that I don’t know how to word

I used to watch it with my dad before he divorced from my stepmom

I talked to a suicide hotline person and when she called back half an hour later she remembered it was my favorite show and that had such an impact on my mental health recovery afterwards

This show has given me such an appreciation for tv and writing the world as what it is

Because yeah, a guy kidnapped a college Dean and ran the school in a napoleon costume, but what makes you think that’s any different from the weird ass politics of the real world?

This show is about terrible people living terrible lives, and they end up ok. And for once I got to watch the racist homophobic asshole just keel over and finally die.
