Quelques informations

Bonjour, bonsoir ! J'espère que vous profitez bien de cette belle journée de décembre. Me revoilà donc pour donner des nouvelles du projet.

Côté administratif :

Le forum n'est pas encore créé : n'étant pas certaine de la faisabilité du projet et s'il plaira à d'autres que moi, je préfère avancer doucement de mon côté sans me mettre la pression.

Cependant, j'avoue avoir commencé à créer un petit serveur discord si le projet abouti pour pouvoir discuter idées de personnages, éventuellement faire des recherches de liens etc (je me bats avec les configurations des bots. Pas si simple ce truc haha) Vous en serez les premiers informés ici-même ou bien sur des serveurs discord de pub.

Eventuellement, je pourrais lancer une recherche de staff pour construire le forum. C'est toujours plus sympa d'avoir des points de vue différents, échanger nos idées, rebondir sur celles des autres plutôt que de faire ça seule.

Univers du forum :

Le contexte est inspiré de la bande-dessinée W.I.T.C.H. (apparue dans Minnie Mag puis WITCH Mag par la suite pour ceux qui connaissent), créée par Elisabetta Gnone.

Contrairement à la BD, l'histoire ne se déroule pas à Heatherfield (planète Terre) mais à Meridian, capitale du Royaume de Metamoor (l'un des nombreux mondes placés sous la protection de Kandrakar).

Les Gardiennes de la Muraille n'existent pas encore : nous ne sommes qu'au début de la prise de pouvoir du Prince Phobos, qui d'ailleurs n'est pas le souverain "officiel" de Meridian. La Reine Weira Escanor et son époux sont toujours en vie, il y a donc toujours de l'espoir !

De ce fait, Metamoor n'a pas le charmant surnom de la Zone Obscure du Non-Lieu. Personne ne sait où la Princesse Elyon se trouve, mais elle est en sécurité loin de de son frère, qui en tant qu'homme n'a pas sa place sur le trône.

La magie est présente partout sur Metamoor. Tous ses habitants ne la pratique pas, mais son usage est considéré comme normal. Cette magie commence doucement à s'épuiser, le Royaume plonge peu à peu dans les ténèbres. La Lumière de Meridian a disparu, transmise par la Reine Weira à sa fille Elyon.

Evolutions possibles/idées en vrac :

Pour le moment, seul Metamoor sera jouable inrp et l'action se concentrera sur Meridian. Selon l'évolution du forum et des intrigues, je n'exclue pas la possibilité de rendre Kandrakar jouable, ou encore la Terre. A voir donc.

Concernant les groupes, ils seront au nombre de quatre pour commencer : la cour royale et les meridianites (les habitants de Meridian). Mais où sont donc passés les deux autres groupes ???? Surprise surprise. Il existerait deux groupes cachés : les murmurants/roses noires de Phobos (fidèles au Prince Phobos donc, de gré ou de force, pour x raison) et la rébellion (pro-Escanor aka la Reine Weira). Les membres de ces deux groupes devront à tout prix garder leur appartenance à tel ou tel mouvement secret et pourront donc agir chacun de leur côté pour faire avancer l'intrigue. Il faudra donc contacter le staff au préalable par mp avant la validation pour l'en informer et la mission "rester discret" commencera donc dès la partie présentation (vous n'êtes donc pas obligés de raconter la vérité toute la vérité la rédaction de votre fiche !!!!) Je prévois des parties privées sur le forum justement, avec la possibilité de rajouter quelques éléments d'histoire pour compléter la fiche (optionnel).

A chaque mise à jour (tous les mois/deux mois ou +, rythme à définir) , l'un des deux camps pourra prendre le dessus sur l'autre (ou pas) et ainsi faire avancer leur souverain respectif (Prince Phobos ou Reine Weira). Les personnages ne faisant pas partie de ces deux mouvements seront donc neutres (cour royale ou meridianites) et auront le pouvoir de ralentir les deux groupes opposés pour rester dans un semblant de "paix", empêcher des événements tragiques.

Et c'est tout pour l'instant, j'espère que ces petites idées vous ont plu ! Encore une fois, s'il y a des intéressés, n'hésitez pas à me contacter ici ou bien sur discord. A bientôt !

i need to actually sit down and read w.i.t.c.h. properly one of these days. five teenager mags scraps have never been enough w.i.t.c.h. content for me.

[weltenreiserin]

"She don't wanna be anybody else, she's a woman in total control of herself,"

singt Devon Cole in ihrem Lied W.I.T.C.H. Ich mag das Lied. Mag die Zeile. Würde sie gerne übernehmen und auf Whatsapp in meine Info schreiben.

Doch dann denke ich: Stimmt das? Bin ich eine Frau, die die totale Kontrolle über sich selbst hat? Hat das überhaupt irgendwer?

Es fühlt sich falsch an, das als Status zu nehmen. Denn, lässt sich diese Kontrolle, dieses Selbstbewusstsein, über das sie singt, mit meinen ganzen Ängsten vereinbaren? Mit meinen Unsicherheiten?

Ich will niemand anderes sein. Ich bin froh über meine Vergangenheit, denn sie hat mich zu der Person gemacht, die ich heute bin. Und ich mag diese Person. Meistens. Aber bedeuten diese Zeilen nicht, dass ich mich immer mögen muss?

"In total control of herself" - Die totale Kontrolle über sich selbst zu haben. Heißt das, zwangsläufig immer zu wissen was man tut und warum man es tut?

Oder heißt es vielleicht, reflektiert zu sein, zu wissen, was man will? Denn ich glaube, immer die volle Kontrolle zu haben, das geht nicht. Das kann niemand. Und ich glaube, das ist auch nicht gut.

Denn das Leben wird doch so viel spannender, wenn man die Kontrolle mal abgibt oder gar verliert. Klar, es wird dadurch vielleicht auch mal schwerer, schmerzhafter. Aber auch das gehört zum Leben. Das Leben muss man fühlen, mit all seinen Höhen und Tiefen. Mit der Sicherheit der Kontrolle und dem Chaos, das herrscht, wenn man sie verliert.

Die komplette Kontrolle hat niemand. Aber manche schaffen es, den Schein zu wahren - so als hätten sie immer alles unter Kontrolle. Und brechen dann zusammen. Alleine. Zu Hause.

Und das ist okay.

Hi, everyone! I finally started scanning the PH English magazines I have. I’ll be scanning anything that looks particularly interesting to me from the side content--so not the comic itself, but the extra art and inserts.

Some of them have shadows on them because I don’t want to pull apart the pages, and lot of them may be duplicates that can already be found online, so bear with me lmao

These are the “how to draw” pages for Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin -- unfortunately I don’t own the two previous volumes with Will and Irma’s segments.

There’s a weird amount of inconsistency here! Taranee’s is the only one that has three pages, and Cornelia’s doesn’t provide her color scheme 🤔

[algernoninwonderland]

The W.I.T.C.H. cartoon is such a miserable watch once you’ve read the comics, they really had to dumb everything down for a younger American audience, didn’t they?

It’s not offensively bad by any stretch, some of the action scenes are really neat, for that matter, it’s a competently made cartoon if a little workmanlike at times, but I definitely wouldn’t call it an interesting adaptation or a very good show. You lose so much in terms of character depth, complicated, messy and deep relationships and lovely expressive art, things that would really speak to you, and you get Blunk and digipaint that aged like milk instead. Well, that and an okay opening credits song but still.

I wouldn’t mind if it got a new animated adaptation that stayed closer to the original’s mood, with a competent art direction that stays a bit closer to Barbucci’s (and all the other great artists that worked on the comics too, obviously). It would absolutely need to be set in the 2000s for that sweet sweet fashion, though.

Fascinated by the bootleg Keroppi merch bundled w the Hungarian w.i.t.c.h. magazine

[nessietwihard02]

Are there any W.I.T.C.H.ies here?

I came by my childhood collection upon cleaning my room and I had the sudden urge to lay them all out and just stare at them 😂 I’m tempted to post each collection by their respective arcs to complete this nostalgic train of thought 😅

Only 74 issues were released here in the Philippines, just to wrap up the Ragorlang Arc, but the original in Italy was up to 139!

These were way cheaper than books, as well, so I read more W.i.t.c.h. Mags back then instead of books 😊

[widening-skies]

w.i.t.c.h. needed to be like... way gayer :(

“When the w.i.t.c.h. cartoon came out when I was a kid I was so disappointed in it. I was such a huge fan of the comics and read them monthly in Disney Girl magazine (Australian mag). I saw it and was so let down. The animation was wrong, voices and plot were destroyed for me. It was far too different. I never saw it again.”

[jaffre]

yo anyone who followed w.i.t.c.h. mag, d’yall remember about m.a.g.i.c.???

[sealedinabook]

//I cannot for the life of me Reblog @alwaysadolphin’s posts about the sheer madness that went on behind the scenes of both comic series and TV series of W.I.T.C.H., so, here I am copy-and-pasting the first revelation regarding the cluster-cuss.

I’ll reblog later with my opinion because all this information is taking me a LONG dang time to process…

From @alwaydolphin, here is their reproduction of an interview with Canepa and Barbucci, and just let me interject beforehand: I’m am just shocked at how poorly Disney treated them! Shockéd! *coughsarcasmcough*

as long as im posting these deep production tidbits from w.i.t.c.h. I should probably also track down that old Canepa interview where she talked about being turned away from Disney for four years until Disney begrudgingly took the project on, published it, and then bragged about how they always knew it would be a smash hit when it broke sales records bc I think about that a lot

Sceneario.com : What do you think of the manga genre? I am thinking in particular of “WITCH”?

Canepa & Barbucci : What is good with the authors of mangas is that they can tell a period of life that we Westerners always try to hide: adolescence. I think that explains the huge success of the manga with teenagers … and nostalgic adults! It’s very difficult to work for this type of audience, there is no survey or marketing plan that’s deemed it worthwhile!

W.I.T.C.H. succeeded because it was born spontaneously between three people who introduced entire phases of their own adolescence, without “reinterpreting” it from an adult angle, going against the proposals of a service marketing manager ! Witch is currently published in 75 countries, sold over 40 million copies, to Japan where it was reworked by Japanese artists in their black and white style. We started creating Witch in June 1997, when the word “manga” was downright banned at Disney. It’s incredible ! While today, in society, it is on the agenda … A bit late now, it is now public domain. However, since its first punlication in spring 2001 in Italy, out of our control after the second issue (this remoteness is our own, but it’s a long story!) and that of the historic creator Elisabetta Gnone, the scenario took a very family turn, a little too feminine and much less introspective. For a wide audience of girls from 9 to 11 years old. Adolescence, the true and the most adult, is really distorted by the well-meaning Disney, in the last episodes. A great damage, in our opinion. It was also born for a mixed public, up to 15 years old. Disney has lost this age group for at least 10 years. They wanted it at all costs, but still can not get it back! These are the boys of video games and mangas, far removed from the “Good” Disney! Witch would have had the strength of a Japanese shojo comic.

Look only in France! And without adding gadgets to the magazine, ostensibly female, which increase sales but bring nothing in quality comics. Without wishing to be great mythomaniacs, we were sure that Witch would be a success. And Disney has never been convinced. On the contrary ! You can not imagine how many doors have been closed to us. We fought a good two years against a managerial system that did not want it. It was only thanks to the audacity of the then director of women’s magazines at the time, E. Gnone, and the open-mindedness of one of the American leaders that the magazine was able to appear. Moreover, here in France, after a single year of publication, it caused the name of the magazine that published it to change: ���Minnie mag" became “Witch mag”! We are very proud of what we did with this comic, and it is always thanks to Witch that we decided in 1998 to try a new experience together: Sky Doll. And from time to time we think about 40 million copies !!! CHILLS…

Sceneario.com : What graphic benefits did you get from your Disney experience?

Together : Disney is an excellent school to become professional: you learn to work a lot and quickly, without getting too attached to your job. Graphically, on the other hand, the effects are often devastating: one risks the standardization to an impersonal style, which one will escape with difficulty.

Sceneario.com : Why did you leave Disney?

Together : For many reasons: to create something for us … and finally have control and copyrights, to no longer have to participate in depressing marketing meetings, to work in an environment where quality is not optional, to progress professionally and artistically! And also because of a lawsuit against Disney (still in progress)* for the rights of WITCH, since 2001. Is that a good enough reason? > :)

*This lawsuit was still pending in 2008, however it appears that some sort of agreement was reached eventually, as the crux of the case was that Canepa and Barbucci had no proper credit as series creators, possibly a response from Disney’s higher ups to Barbucci and Canepa’s departure from the project - for years, only Elisabetta Gnone was given any form of recognition for the role of series creator. With the 2017 worldwide reprints, this has been changed to acknowledge all three, in addition to Francesco Artibani, who was instrumental in persuading Disney to give the series a chance in the first place.

Oh here’s the specific quote I was thinking of, which I’ll have to hunt down the source of because tv tropes never provides any damn sources

"We conceived of "W.I.T.C.H.” together with Elisabetta Gnone, the then director of girls publications for Disney. We worked for three years in secret on it and she then presented the project to the big bosses at Disney. They thought that this project was crazy, a sure-fire bomb, complete waste of time, and that mangas wouldn’t have a chance in Europe anyway (!!!). However, we didn’t let ourselves be led astray and worked for another year on it anyway, with a tiny budget and without publicity. And then the series became a worldwide hit. The official version from Disney is, of course, that “W.I.T.C.H.” is a product of their brilliant, visionary marketing strategy…the end of the series was then taken out of our hands, we actually had something a lot more intelligent planned for it. Now, as you can see, Elisabetta Gnone and the two of us no longer work for Disney…a really sad story.“

[bee-witch-d]

A look inside Peter’s room!! I love the idea that he laughed for 15 minutes straight at a novelty trash can. That’s not a real thing people do.

I had to turn the contrast down on these because the yellow does Not scan very well, so I’m sorry if it’s difficult or painful to read (tbh the yellow backgrounds are sort of difficult in person too...)
