#The Bored Witch

[lesserknownwaifus]

La Bruixa Avorrida/La Bruja Aburrida (The Bored Witch), the main character witch from a series of Spanish children's books with the same name that were later adapted to cartoons. She is also the aunt of the triplets Teresa, Anna and Helena, that have their own series of books/TV show called Les Tres Bessones (The Triplets).

Since i lean for the mixing of fantasy and comedy, I will go with a very formative character to me: The Bored Witch (Bruja Aburrida in spanish, Bruxa Onilda in the brazilian portuguese dub) from the catalan book and cartoons series The Triplets who later received her own spin-off.

She is one of my first examples of morally ambiguous character: sometimes antagonistic, sometimes an ally, sensitive, yet with a dry sense of humour, always bumbling and funny, but still inteligent, strong headed, powerfull and not to be underestimated.

You know who the most underatted character in cartoon history is?

The bored Witch from the catalan cartoon ”The Triplets”

She is just a witch who lives with her owl and is bored constantly. And because she is bored, she decided to send these triplets to various fairytales

Though, she is more or less a babysitter to them.

What i’m saying is, this old witch just decided to prank some children she claims annoys her by sending them to fairy tales just because she was bored, but in the end she’s more of a babysitter who makes these triplets day a thousands times more fun.

In the end credits, she sings a song about how she really feels about the triplets. I don’t know if she sings the same things in every version. I myself grew up with the swedish version, but in that one she admits that while the triplets often annoy her, she couldn’t live without them. When they are there, she is never ever a bored witch.

wanda loves to eat pussy.

my girl loves it. she absolutely adores the sensation that comes from eagerly licking at your clit while her fingers curl inside of you in a way that hits the spot just right. and if that isn't enough for you? she'll go ham in between your thighs like a starved woman. she devours pussy like it's the last meal she'll ever have.

speaking of enough...wanda makes sure you never go unsatisfied. if you're feeling needy, she'll press your back against the mattress and kneel in between your thighs for another taste. if it were up to her, she'd have your pussy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

what can she say? she lives to please.

Why is Starlight the witch of Wine? :0

For the AU we wanted our magic users to have unique skills and titles, and for Starlight I decided on wine for a few reasons.

One reason is that I adapted the Cutie Map episode as a gangster story where Starlight (Stella in our AU) is a crime lord that operates a speakeasy under the guise of a hospitable innkeeper. The AU takes place in the Prohibition Era, so it felt appropriate to associate Stella's character with alcohol/wine after coming up with the story concept.

The other is I wanted Stella's magic to be influenced by negative and intense emotions (much like her show counterpart), and I figured the wine theme adds a visual and specificity. In addition to her magic being powered by emotion, she also has the unique ability to hex food and drinks. We might elaborate more on this when Bix and I have something more solid to put out regarding the AU's magic system.

I want to keep her alcoholism and problematic qualities even after her redemption arc, it makes her really fun to write in my head.

the wizard Sorrow, apprentice to Sight, seer of the citadel.

They're a divination wizard, a harried magical phd candidate and generally is of the opinion that it's kinda a bummer to seek the omens and portents of the rise and falls of civilizations, but hey, someone's gotta do it.

no but imagine being a reverse history phd so like specializing in a specific time period in the future like the sixth age of the empire and finding + recording all the prophecies pertinent to that time period for future usefulness - thesis in the fall of three towers and the towers havent even been built yet

been obsessively thinking about wbn (im not caught up on arc 2 ok - so idk if this name is taken. it turns out, you can't stay sane while mixing audio and listening to a podcast at the same time) and someone posted about what you think your s wizard name would be and it kinda spiraled into this. my other thought was Sense and maybe i'll draw her too.

(I also think they would not be about Suvi's energy - being in leadership track and leadership famously wants the seers to be more useful now but that's not how it works. yes, my research is important... to civilization three aeons from now)

i think there is a convo to be had about how chises dragon curse - for all of its confusing mechanics - functions less as a plot point and more of a physical manifestation of the character growth chise has yet to undertake, and an unwillingness to reckon with the person she is past the roles she serves in the lives of others

chise takes this curse on when she returns to the auction house, and location is everything here. at its core, this curse is anger, hatred, fear, pain, and a deep desire to return to comfort - destructive emotions that rip apart all it touches. when chise breaks down at the sight of the frightened dragon for sale, elias tells her that those are not her emotions, that she shouldnt let them overtake her - but they are her emotions, that dragon is her, and there was never a possibility that she wouldnt follow it on its flight over london. seeing as things have "worked out" for her til now, chise hasnt yet reckoned with the gravity of what it meant to sell her life away. she hasnt reckoned with the hatred and anger and pain that she still harbors - unfortunately, moving to a quaint little english cottage does not undo a lifetime of neglect. her attempts to fix those around her, philomela being a prime example, will only get her so far. eventually she will have to look within, and i dont think shes done more than dip her toes in. "this is my past, these sad things happened to me, now things are better" is not the end of her self-reflection. now that we know the past she carries with her, what does all of that mean for her? what kind of person is she? who will she become?

im thinking too about this recurring theme of "atavism." its a key feature in tambs dragons, who are able to evolve at will to suit their needs, and yori also mentions it when noting chises appearance. atavism is the reoccurrence of dormant or ancestral traits, and you could make the argument that its also functioning metaphorically here. evolving to suit the world around you, past burdens and trauma reemerging when its unexpected or inconvenient... my thoughts on this are loose right now

theres this concept that we've been getting, too, that chises dragon curse is something temporary. arc 1 left us with the idea that her two curses must remain in balance, in perpetuity, for her to survive. but theres this new interpretation of it being something that serves her for now, but she might shed it once it fulfills its purpose

continuing with the idea of the dragon curse as a sort of... idk, ptsd metaphor, what are these two examples from ch 98 implying? that her negative emotions will serve her when it comes time? that this sort of baggage cant be exorcised away? framing the dragon curse as temporary broaches the possibility of chise one day being cured of it, but what does that mean? and should she be?

(of course, the 'future chise' we see in ch 1 doesnt have a visible left hand, but is that meant to be a literal glimpse into the future, anyway? theres also a dragon made of vines behind her in that panel, didya notice it?)

i mentioned the auction house at the beginning because i feel that if chise sheds the dragon curse, it will be in much the same way she attained it. chise has been told that she is free, she is loved, she has told her "mother" that shes moving on with her life. but all of this is just the beginning - and lets be real, i dont think elias is putting her into therapy. joseph is the only character i can think of who is truly, earnestly pushing chise toward the difficult self-reflection she needs. im excited to see what he says when she taps into her "cursed fury"

this is why im so excited that we are being told explicitly, time and again, that things are about to go really bad for chise. tamb is such a masterwork of character writing, it is so incredibly emotionally intelligent and gives so much grace and patience to its characters. i have no doubt that chises character arc is going to go in such a spectacular direction
