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???????????????

[ID: Drawing by Shirahama Kamome, the mangaka of Witch Hat Atelier, of Atuarto and Garuga. The drawing is in muted warm tones. Atuarto and Garuga are reclining on a sofa piled with accent pillows. Garuga rests one elbow on a pillow while looking down at Atuarto, who's resting his head on Garuga's lap. An owlcat sleeps on the sofa beside them. The drawing is signed with Shirahama's signature.

In general I'm a fan of the big wiggly worms / the leviathans & piscine wyverns. Very fun designs. The fights always feel like they stand out to me in a fun way. Yes I even liked Plesioth. (In retrospect, at least.) Admittedly my two most played weapons are hunting horn (long reach, don't have to worry about bouncing off hard body parts) and insect glaive (long reach, mobile if it needs to be) so that might colour my experience here a little bit. LOL
