witch hat atelier is great because in the first few chapters it looks like its really just going to be a cute magical girl story about hope and friendship but then you keep reading and its about how fascist societies fabricate a social structure to divide how power and information is disseminated and what life is like as a disabled person in that society. and then its also still about hope and friendship, but if hope and friendship could kill you.

The most dangerous moment for a writer is when you're looking for a fic with specific content but there is not enough of it on Ao3 or not quite the right thing and, as you are digging deeper and deeper into the archive, you can hear the devil whispering into your ear "Oh, if only someone interested in this specific thing could write it... Oh wait, is that a keyboard I see under your fingers?"

and another reason yoo sangah going from idealized heroine to just a person over the course of the novel is one of my favourite character arcs ever is that it refutes the idea that yoo sangha's kindness is somehow unique or unexpected - out of the reach of mere mortals like you and me. the initial world of orv is bleak to say the least. without the rules of society, and with the dokkaebi encouraging violence, we see the worst of the every day man. in this apocalypse we get the shining ray of hope of yoo sangah, whose good seems almost superhuman in the face of such grimness. only a heroine could always be so kind, dokja sighs to himself, watching her. but the rug gets pulled out from under us as the pepper incident is revealed, and we learn that yoo sangah isn't always kind, and it isn't certainly isn't effortless. her goodness isn't something only a protagonist could pull off - rather offering food to people who is hungry, trying to protect a child, even simply offering a kind word to a coworker - are all things done by just a person. it's something kim dokja doesn't need to keep separated in it's own box, but can recognize in himself as well. kindness is something we can expect from anyone, and something we can expect from ourselves. if yoo sangah can do it, so can anyone.

- (even longer breacket at the end) Education is presented as a meritocracy where anyone who makes an effort can raise to the top, when in reality education itself is a privilege determined by birth, and those who aren't born with access to it can't even dream to achieve what those who do have
- (at the very bottom, halfway cut off) JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHAT. End ID]
