Cha-ra-nui

my problem is if i enjoy something enough i will be nitpicking. i Will have things to say about where and how it failed. out of nothing but love straight from my heart. unfortunately this often makes me indistinguishable from a hater who has never experienced joy or kindness. such is the amateur critic's burden.

all of my favourite things are like beautiful racehorses that trip over their own feet a hundred times. but they get back up again. and goddamn, you should see them run.

tbh i love hear me outs but i also love the opposite of hear me outs where it’s like nearly everyone thinks they’re fuckable except you

count me outs

Adopting that immediately.

Qifrey is Such A Character because I'm like twenty chapters in to witch hat atelier and pretty much the only things he's done has been have whimsical little cottagecore picnics, be nice to children, and have category 9 domestic events with the whole adult man who lives in his attic. And somehow he does all of this whilst projecting an aura of horrible, tangible sadness. Mans is frolicking in meadows and giving the general impression of a haunted victorian orphan. He's cooking sweet potatoes and I fully expected him to tell the reader he was waterboarded as a child. He's entrancing.

Every couple of volumes the Witch Hat Atelier manga does something so disturbing and twisted and it really messes me up (in the most complimentary way possible). It's like, "here's a cozy slice of life moment where regular girls are just trying to figure out how to grow up; here's a fun, heart-pounding adventure where the girls do their best and loving adults swoop in to save them right when things are looking bad; and here's a fundamentally unsettling and disturbing moral paradox that makes you question the very ethical foundations both of this fictional world as well as your own, by forcing you to stare unblinking at a situation in which there are no easy answers, no clear moral lines, no heroes or villains, only the desperate struggle for survival and human dignity. There are no answers except for hope and curiosity. By the way, drawing is fun 🥰" and I personally think it's very cool and brave for that

finally started witch hat atelier and qifrey has a sorta "terminally ill victorian child who's caught in a timeloop" kinda aura
