i'm never not thinking about how everything in witch hat atelier comes back to accessbility and accommodations
coco has trouble drawing spells until tartah makes her a wand that's molded to her specific way of holding pens, because she grew up in her mother's fabric shop and was more used to holding a stone, so the grip of her wand is wide and flat
tartah has silverwash and can't tell any colours apart, so no one expects him to be able to become a witch and no one wants to take him on as an apprentice - never mind the fact that he doesn't need to be able to differentiate colours to, at the very least, do basic spells. even knowing those basic spells would significantly improve his quality of life
euini can't draw properly when people are watching him, and it takes another child to tell him that he doesn't have to do everything the way his master taught him, and that if he can't cast when he's around other people, he just needs to find a way to be alone
beldaruit depends on his doorknobs to move around the great hall, even though qifrey's apprentices - 12 year old children - were able to come up with a spell to make the halls widen to accommodate his seal chair within like a day's time
i have additions but they're heavier manga spoilers so they're under the cut. Spoilers until chapter 88
Why he light skinned?
Because Martin Luther was white and German.
did…
did someone confuse Luther with Jesus omg
I suspect they confused him with Martin Luther King
I mean, I get mixing them up based on names alone, but I’m concerned about the people who think Martin Luther King Jr. routinely wrote with a quill or dressed like a Renaissance man.
At that point it’s your own damn fault for making that kind of mistake
but why is martin luther the fastest sold playmobil figurine
Protestants be shoppin

i spent most last year working on this comic for @batfamilyzine now i can post them
some stuff below
this tweet has been fucking killing me
I wonder if all the "dead poets society" "sad poetry" ppl reblogging this know it's from a d20 campaign.
do they know about ylfa? do they know what she became? do they know that the wolf did not eat her, but that she ate the wolf? do they know that she walked her grandmother's past to a wooden door? do they know she gave up her name so that people might someday be able to write their own stories?
Kara who saw her parents wither away. Kara who carries the grief of an entire planet. Kara who doesn't share that grief with her cousin, because she thinks he could never understand. Kara who holds Krypto like her heart, because he is the only piece of her Krypton that is still alive. Kara who will tarnish her soul so Ruthye doesn't have to. Kara who has every reason to scream, cry and break things, but chooses to stay and make Earth her home because she also has many reasons to find again the happiness she lost. That is a Kara that I love.
people who write fics. how do you feel about comments on super old ones you wrote like 2+ years ago
Bringing this out of the tags:
A fic written 2 years ago is NOT OLD. Two years is nothing. Two years ago was yesterday.
Also I don't care if a fic is 10 years old. Leave those comments!! Even if you think the author isn't active, or moved on from the fandom, I promise you it will make them smile.
I commented on a fic that was 11 years old, and there was already a response by the time I got up the next morning. Comment on the fics, please, comment on them, I promise it'll make the author's day either way
I got a comment on a fic of mine this week that just read "TWO THOUSAND AND NINE?"
I replied to it within seconds, of course. someone commented on my fic
As @pentapoda put it in this post:
(transcript: Every time someone comments on my old fic, i feel like I'm an old actor getting paid residuals. Appreciate you, old-fic-commenters. Key source of emotional income, tbh.)
Comments 👏 save 👏 fics
Not only that comments inspire fics. They inspire new fics, or help get that writer out of their rut. They keep that fic going. They bring that author back.
Comments save fics.
It doesn't have to be an essay. It doesn't have to be a literary analysis. Fuck it, I'll take a keyboard smash! I'll take a simple 'thanks, I enjoyed this'. I'll take a string of emojis, or even just a simple '❤️'. Literally whatever!
But comments save fics. Let authors know you're there, or we'll give up.
Art of any kind having an expiration date is a weird concept I will never understand
What's the point of literary analysis of classic novels and poetry? Or studying art history? Omg it's old why does it matter... /s
I think it's especially important if the artist/writer/creator is still alive and accessible to get the feedback. If you have thoughts, please share them with the person who made it. It is so important. I know social media over the last 10 years has conditioned us to think that posts die in ~6 hours but we actually don't have to live like that. It's actually so devastating on creative minds to think that what we make is bad because it wasn't engaged with in 2 days time so it's basically ancient history.
If I read a fic, I comment on it. I don't care if it's old, the writer is inactive, whatever. They don't even have to reply to me, I just want to brighten a stranger's day the way that their writing brightened mine. And sometimes they do reply, I literally left a comment recently on a fic from 2017 and the author replied within the same week. I personally have a folder of screenshots of comments I received (and tags on my posts too) that made my day, so I can scroll back through them. Comment on fics.
what’s the rush?
The time will pass anyway
