me when richeh's arc is really about learning that she’s safe now. she’s safe to try new things and learn and grow because she isn’t being forced into it. her sense of self is no longer under threat - her individuality is supported and she is loved for who she is. she doesn’t have to close herself off to outside influence out of the fear of losing who she is anymore. she will still be herself even as she learns and grows because nobody is trying to change her or hurt her. oh my god

#also that the things that keep you safe when you're in an abusive environment can work to your detriment when you're in a safe and healthy-#-environment #me when her arc is about trauma #and this is also reflected in riliphin's arc and how this is something he's learning much more slowly and in a way he's ashamed of #they both have the coping mechanisms they used to survive abuse #richeh is closed off to anything she believes could make her 'not herself'#and riliphin put away parts of himself :(#these kids make me so sad #witch hat atelier #wha #tongari boushi no atelier #atelier of witch hat #richeh #riliphin #richeh witch hat atelier #riche
