#hermit hat atelier

[threecowsusingthistoreadcomics]

joe!!! he’s so :D!

wait, what’s that behind him?

ah. oh god. the horrors. oh. oh no. uh. okay. maybe. maybe we back away slowly. or quickly, dealer’s choice.

(epilepsy warning I do turn layers on and off a lot) This bad boy gets a timelapse, because I ended up scrapping quite a few things in the process of making it! The puppets were a fun idea but, alas, only etho worked well with the color palette.

More hermit hat atelier! joe was relegated to “ehh i dunno he lives in the swamp and plays with puppets” for a while but Now. oooh now he’s got Lore >:]. And also he lives in the swamp and plays with puppets.

Despite appearances, he is genuinely quite friendly, even though he’s a literal hermit. Most of the Brims avoid him for one reason or another, so he’s found ways to keep himself company. While he isn’t as active as a Brim anymore, he still holds the title of Ink, one-third of the leaders of the Brims. Although, with Evil Xisuma in charge, it’s really just a title.

remind me to draw hermitcraft in a witch hat atelier au

random thoughts below!

highly recommend reading wha if you haven’t - it’s a nice storyline, wonderful worldbuilding, and sick art (spoilers for some of the story!)

i imagined all the hermits just chill in one big town full of pointed hat and brimmed caps and the knights moralis don’t even try with them

impulse is a witch and skizz is not, impulse ends up teaching him magic though after several internal arguments with himself

tango’s hat looks similar to shubble’s witch hat on empires

grian “it’s about the principle” is a pointed hat but finds loopholes to infuriate the knights moralis

mumbo works with grian and doesn’t know any better about what’s “forbidden magic” and not

people definitely wanted for committing forbidden magic:

- cleo (necromancy time magic)

- doc (magical experiements)

- cub (cub)

scar uses a sealchair but i think he’d also use the leg wood stilts, like what custas uses after he turned to the brim caps

that’s all i have rn

So, what media are you most looking forward to in 2025?

The Undead Unluck Winter Special and the third light novel, as well as getting 11 more physical volumes translated to spanish

Ultimate Spider-man is getting hype with the current arc, I desperately wanna see more

Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 are gonna make me go full hermit away from the internet until I've cleared them 'cause I don't trust any of y'all not to spoil shit. God I hope it doesn't release when I have classes, please Toby Fox have mercy on my studies

Witch Hat Atelier! I am so very hype and so, so very afraid that they'll fuck it up like with Zom100 so I am crossing every finger in my body that it's the GOAT anime such a GOAT manga deserves

Looking forward to the return of The Magnus Protocol, I wanna know what the hell is going on with the world

The Guilty Gear and Devil May Cry anime for sure. GG I'm not too familiar with but I like the character designs and the world seems bonkers, and DMC I hope does well and we get more seasons that adapt the games and the stuff in between the games

Dandadan cour/season 2, definitely. I don't think it'll reach the emotional highs of the AcroSilky arc, but I trust Science Saru to knock it out of the park anyways

Spy x Family season 3 is gonna start with a banger, and I am looking forward to it

Oh the new Rascal Does Not Dream Of season, that's gonna be the first time I catch it airing live

Oh yeah The Invisible Man and his Soon To Be Wife is getting an adaptation and there's someone I know who's going bananas over it so I'm looking forward to her bouncing off the walls like crazy

I am curious about the new Superman movie. I hope they do it well. The fact that Supes gets to keep the red trunks is good. The fact that the actor had to convince James Gunn to keep the red trunks is bad. But damn, we desperately need a good, hopeful movie about a good, hopeful Superman

And... yeah I think that's it. I don't really know what movies are upcoming, I'm completely and sadly divorced from new books (except Hunger Phangs part 2: the Phangening, but I don't know the release date for that one so), I don't really do Triple-A gaming cause I don't have the hardware for it, and I don't usually do smaller-budget gaming cause I have a big-ass backlog so. Can't really justify it

[threecowsusingthistoreadcomics]

hi :)

my autism has been seized by just roll with it Prime Defenders at the current moment, and I’m working on a larger hermitcraft project, so have an Ariana Griande poster I made a while ago :]

[activate-shadow-of-the-window]

Sitting in the light of the dying sun, Grian didn’t know what to think anymore. Everything taught to him by the old guard, by the Brims, the real Brims who had raised him, had been twisted and broken into lies, and he hadn’t even noticed. What kind of successor was he?! Even his own greatest achievement, the wings on his back, were dyed red and yellow and blue by Darkness’ schemes. They had to go, by any means necessary. And Diamond, long dead as he was now, would help him. The axe, enchanted and sharpened yet never knowing battle, had an edge as keen as a scalpel and would do the job nicely.

A mopey Grian and the great war-axe Carbonizer as I finish off the last chapter of my most recent Hermit Hat Atelier fic, I’ve overstayed my welcome.

My cards I drew for @witchhattarot! Had so much fun drawing these and leftover sales are now live!

->You can find the store here <-

[IMG ID: Two tarot cards. The first is The Hermit with Oruggio from Witch Hat Atelier in a stained glass style hunched over with a silverleaf tree branch in his grasp. Passing him by is a yellow deer with smoke effects in the bottom right corner. A lantern hangs from the card border.

Image two is the Three of Cups with Coco, Tetia, Agott, and Riche pouring water on the 'Dragon's Bed of Sand' spell. With the dragon framing opposite corners of the card. In the background there is a castle and trees and the card is lined similarly to the manga. /END ID]

Stuff I read (and liked) this year

As promised, here’s a list of the novels, comics, manga, etc... I read this year, focusing on the ones I enjoyed and would recommend to people. Under a cut, this is going to be a little long.

-------- Books --------

Favorite book of the year: Stranger in the Woods, by Michael Finkel

Non-fiction. Based on the interviews of the man himself by the author, it is about a man who felt so unfit for society he decided one day to leave it, and spent the next 28 years as a hidden hermit in forest in Maine. The book details how he survived there, how he was eventually found, and some of his reasons for doing so. It’s a great reflection on the nature of loneliness.

Indian creek, by Pete Fromm

...Yet another detailed tale of living alone in the woods. This time, the diary of a student who spent a winter in the mountains to help tend for salmon hatchlings, and how he spent the rest of his days hiking, hunting, meeting the locals. It’s a fun little book who, being set almost the whole world away from where I live, was a nice way to travel.

Howl’s Moving Castle, by Diana Wynne Jones

I don’t feel the need to explain this one since everyone and their mom has seen the movie adapted from it. The book, that I first read a decade ago before I actually watched the film, is a less romantized, more spirited telling of the same story. The writing is absolutely delightful and so is the world it paints, and it’s the first time in ages a book had me laughing out loud during my entire read.

-------- Comics (BD) --------

Favorite comic of the year: Monsieur Désire?, by Hubert and Virginie Augustin

A discreet young woman becomes a maid for a decadent, unbearable, byronesque young lord. Caked in the rigid and oppressive social hierarchy of the victorian era, you follow a mental and verbal joust between the two, as the lord tries his best to offend and corrupt his new unrelenting servant, to little success. The writing and especially the dialogues were stellar, drawing me into the tense atmosphere, watching this trainwreck of a character flamboyantly destroy himself. While there’s no precise content warnings that I can give, this is a mature and heavy story.

World of Edena, by Moebius

Anyone who’s followed this blog for over a month knows how much of a Moebius fan I am. Edena combines the vague, dreamlike, wordless storytelling from stuff like Arzach or The cat’s eyes with an actual plot. While I haven’t completly finished the story, the evolution of the main characters and how the story is told have been great to read through, and as always the art is beyond gorgeous. Unfortunately suffers from some good old sexism in the writing that even if minimal, tasted sour

Le roman de Renart, by Joan Sfar (book 1)

Sfar’s work always has a signature vibe of being dreamy and light without being light hearted, of being down to earth but drifting in the fantastical, and this one is no exception. It’s an adaption of a series of medieval folk tales I grew up with, who uses the same characters to tell an original story. If you’re familiar with icons like Renart as well as other mythological big boys like Merlin you’ll fit right in. There is something special in how the dialogues are written, who feel natural in a way that you’d overhear in a street corner and is very special to me.

The mercenary, by VIncente Segrelles

Another one I post about a lot on this blog. The mercenary is a king on the throne of fantasy cheese. The worldbuilding is interesting at times but the writing is a pretty pathetic display of glorious old time sword and sorcery sci-fantasy 10 years too late for it’s prime (warning for ye old sexism and orientalism that plagues the genre, cranked very high...) but you come and stay for the art. The entire thing is drawn in a series of hyper detailed oil paintings with an insane eye for technical detail, from the engineering of the weaponry, to the architecture and weather, to the anatomy of the fantasy creatures... Each panel stands out as it’s own painting which makes even flipping through it without reading the scenario a treat. Click here to see more of the art, in my Segrelles tag.

The ice maurauder, by Jacques Tardi

A short story about mad scientists entirely drawn like a 19th century engraving. In great Tardi tradition everyone is ugly and mean, it ends terribly, it’s both a hommage to the genre of late 19th cent. to early 1900s dramatic adventure novels and a critical eye on it, and it’s morbidly funny. Most people I saw online hated the way this was written but I’m not them and I really recommend this book. Die mad

-------- Manga --------

Favorite manga of the year: it’s a tie between the following two.

Cats of the Louvre, by Taiyo Matsumoto

Most wonderful comic I have read in ages. The story follows a bunch of semi-feral cats secretly living in the Louvre museum’s attic, and the small group of humans who share their life, walking through the museum as the night watch. When the cats are together, they are represented in a humanoid way, but still act like animals, and “become” cats again when a human is nearby. The plot is a sort of supernatural mystery centered around a kitten who walks around paintings. It’s a love letter to art, sincere and beautiful, with a unique art style and great characters.

Memoirs of amorous Gentlemen, by Moyoco Anno

A sex worker in early 20th century paris starts writing down a diary of the clients she meets, in a quest to cope with the troubles of her life. You follow her, her colleagues, and her bittersweet relationship with an abusive lover. I don’t have much words about this comic, but the art and writing both are amazing, it’s the perfect length and drew me in like little series had before. Obvious content warnings as this is an adult story that talks about sexuality, but also depicts both mental and physical abuse.

Hana, also by Taiyo Matsumoto 

A very short story, this was not made to be read as a comic originally, but served as storyboarding and visual development for a play, and the way it is written follows that. Hana is a slice of life story set in a fantasy world, of a young boy, his family, his village. Despite the setting being an original one, the character interactions are refreshingly... normal, and there is no huge plot to speak of, just a bit of the life of these characters. The art is beautiful, entirely black and white, with a scratchy style and an emphasis on contrast. Matsumoto is on a speedy road to becoming my favorite manga artist haha

Delicious in Dungeon, by Ryoko Kui

While not marked as my year’s favorite, I still consider this series among my favorite manga ever. The art and writing are amazing, and it’s both heartfelt, well concieved and plain hilarious. The story follows several parties of dungeon diving adventurers each on their little quests with a premise of our protagonists, on a panic rescue mission, surviving in the dungeon by cooking and eating the monsters they come across. From a DnD party turned cooking manual dinner of the week beginning, the plot creeps up on you and slowly thickens. I don’t want to spoil anything about the overarching story of this because it was a delight to discover for myself. While everything about DinD rules, I am especially fond of the design philosophy of the author, who puts great detail in the practicality and biology of what she draws, as well as the character writing. Everyone even side characters has so much charm and depth to them, the cast is so diverse and entertaining...! Each character is just a bit lame enough but endearing, and has their own little backstory that shows in the way they exist. It’s a delight

Chainsaw man, by Tatsuki Fujimoto

I went into CSM expecting a borderline campy hyperviolent dumb fun thing to read and was very surprised to find an uncomfortably well written story about a teenager being groomed. The hyperviolent dumb fun fights are here nonetheless and the series still qualifies as shonen for some reason, but the more mature character writing as well as some truly outlandish visuals make it something very special. If you can’t stand shonen, not sure you will like it, but if you don’t mind it, worth trying.

Witch hat atelier, by Kamome Shirahama

The oh so elegant fantasy seinen every cool kid started posting about this year, who I also succumbed to and fast. Witch hat is hard to explain, as most of it’s plot revolves around the rules of the world it’s set in, specifically the regulations around it’s magic and the social and historical reasons for them. It’s about growing up, learning, disability, making art. You follow a little girl taken in by a witch as an apprentice, her magical education, and learn little by little why her lovely teacher is so willing to break a lot of rules... While a bit too gentle and pretty for my taste at times, Witch hat has great worldbuilding and explores sensitive themes I rarely see in manga, much less in fantasy. And Berserk wishes it had art this good
