[wip] witch hat anyone?? [id in alt]

[saccharinescorpion]

witch hat atelier spoilers (up to chapter 66)

the thing about Galga and Atwert is like. you're introduced to them like that and you're like "oh that's nice :) gay rights :)" and then That happens to Galga and you're like "wait was Galga being gay just introduced to make it hurt more when he's (symbolically) killed off??? i expected way better from this series :/" and then Atwert comes back and it turns out he's a lot more than just the side character soft boy boyfriend. And Then he figures out how to buck the law and save Galga from being sent away, but it's only by making him his apprentice. and that's so tragic and- and i don't think this is unintentional- actually reflects the reality of same-sex adult adoption, a practice many gay couples were forced to partake in to retain their rights, and a practice still alive in Japan (see "Why I Adopted My Husband"). AND THEN Galga ends up saving Ininia, the one who took his memories in the first place, and bringing her along with the two of them, inadvertly recreating the family unit with his forgotten lover and the source of their misery, with all parties having differing levels of knowledge of what "the truth" is and being unable to disclose it. and then you're like, wait, did Kamome Shirahama just take the token Wholesome Gay Background Couple you see a lot of nowadays, and then introduce tragedy to them, but then also eschew "Bury Your Gays" (symbolically in this case) to keep them together, and then make them a cog in the main story in a way that engages with the overarching themes of the narrative AND touches on real world issues? did Kamome Shirahama just do " what if they were a wholesome found family :)" but in a way that's actually really fascinating and bitterly tragic and ironic? are comics good???????????????

The best thing about that couple, is that no one can tell me shit like “ you can’t draw them like so, they are not a canon”

Bwujahahahha!

trying to get used to drawing on a tablet (regular not pen tablet), its definitely fun for doodling!

[briebysabs]

When the knights reject atuarto and say galga can only be turned over to a master or family. Yes that works as a metaphor for discrimination queer people face in the medical fields etc.

But I don’t think it was a case of homophobia in the world of wha. I’m so confused how ppl interpreted that as Vinanna being homophobic. I highly doubt she gives as fuck and she’s probably dated a girl or two if we’re being honest.

Galga & Atwert

Witch Hat Atelier by Shirohama Kamome

chapter 66 page 07

[talvenhenki]

Prompt for you!

“When did you last sleep?”

So I'm going to be very predictable and write some Witch Hat Atelier stuff because why the hell not

------

"When did you last sleep?"

Atwert blinked. How was it that Galga, without any of his memories, could still see through him with such ease? How did Galga notice things like this when he had no memory to his name?

"I can't remember", Atwert whispered, hoping Galga wouldn't hear him. But, fate had other plans - Galga instantly ducked closer to study Atwert's face.

Shaking his head, Galga spoke softly. "We can't have that. You must rest. You always make sure I rest, so...someone has to do the same for you."

Shaking his head, Atwert screwed his eyes shut. He just wanted to hide, wanted the pain to be over. Nighttime always brought about the pain in his chest.

"Come now." Galga took Atwert's hand in his. "Humour me just this once. Tomorrow may not fix me, but we'll at least be both alive and ready to face another day."

Atwert wanted to run, oh he wanted to run so bad, but he chose not to. Instead, he allowed Galga to lead him to their - no, his bedroom.

"Do you need anything?" Galga asked. His voice was so soft, almost too soft. It reminded Atwert so much of the embrace he so sorely needed.

"Stay?" Atwert whispered. "Just...just until I fall asleep? I don't think I can sleep alone right now."

Nodding, Galga gave Atwert a melancholy smile. "Sure thing. I'll stay."

As Atwert lay down on his back, Galga joined him on the bed. Galga absentmindedly placed his hand on Atwert's chest, right above his heart. For a moment, Atwert feared the gesture would undo him, to break the last remnants of his mind.

However, before that could happen, Galga spoke again.

"Sleep now. I'll be here in the morning."
