beloved, I have missed your company

One thing I love putting in my fantasy and scifi that so many stories I read don't have is superstitions that are just wrong. Astrology type shit. Wizards being assigned an elemental type that's supposed to determine their personality just because that's how it's been done for centuries because ages ago people believed in it and these days people are like "no of course it's a silly superstition haha" but still glance knowingly at your metal type tattoo when you're being headstrong. Societies who believe that the stars determine your destiny because see, this kid was born under the star that indicated intelligence so we pushed her in school and got her special tutors so she could live up to her potential and look, she IS more academically successful than her peers born under other stars! People talking about their religion in the far future and all the side characters are like "that sounds like fucking nonsense" and they're like "no it's TRUE" and the audience is like 'no that's nonsense'. I love inventing shit for characters to just be totally wrong about.

this June we're getting hot and letting no one hit

I do hope people seeing Subaru interact with Emilia without his memories will put to rest the idea that he only loved her for her looks. Like yeah she is his type and that was what initially attracted him to her, but that's not why he loves her. Without his memories he doesn't have a strong opinion about her beyond "she's objectively pretty." The idea that he picked her over Rem because of looks is wrong, it her personality and the way they bonded in arc 2 and the interim that got him.

witch hat atelier so far seems to be quite obviously about the disenfranchisement of children in academia and training so why did i only ever hear about those two yaoi men. do men likers even listen to the things they're watching
