i love olruggio witchhat so much. he’s a sun-coded black cat. he’s a lethally chronic procrastinator. he’s a girl dad. he lies to the police. his magic is warm. his kids bully him and they’re right. he’s in a decade-long magically induced situationship, but he doesn’t know it’s cursed and he’s in it for love of the game. he’s lowkey a celebrity but chooses to live in a cottage on the countryside with said situationship and their four children. he sleeps on the couch. he was a crazy child. he’s a bit of a picky eater. he has chronic anemia and is two minutes away from passing out at all times. he hates hurting things so much that he struggles to kill a disgusting giant leech. he’s a burnt out gifted kid. he is begrudgingly excellent at one of his jobs and on-purposely atrocious at the other one. he has a baby face and is nearly unrecognizable without his beard. he carries an enormous, inexplicable guilt. he’s the sky’s kindest, most radiant star. he’s the perfect man

The thing about the Witch Hat Atelier world is that the magic system sounds great until you realize it's essentially programming and that sobers you up immediately. Sure, maybe you reach the level of skill needed to draw perfect curves, straight lines, and circles without looking down, but after that you still need to be able to logic out which combination of sigils will actually give you the desired effect, and if you misplace a single line it all goes to shit. Add to that the inclusion of effect-altering inks and you start to understand why Olruggio is Like That.

Okay but Tom's face watching the deputy become a vampire??? Genuinely heartbreaking, AND it's so much better when you consider that Clarissa, the singer from the jazz trio that the vampires killed, was probably his wife. He's tried to hard, sacrificed so much, just to keep the very few people that he loves safe, and it still wasn't enough.

Oh the implications of Bella A) Owning a book called "How To Be Queer" and B) Lending her father a book called "How To Be Queer" in the hopes it will help him find himself after her mother's death

"average member of SFTH has played at least one werewolf character" factoid actually just statistical error. on average every SFTH member has played 0.5 werewolves. Luke Manning, who has played three within quick succession of each other, is an outlier adn should not be counted.
