I’m reposting a series of content on historic and literary witchcraft beliefs that I initially posted on tumblr back in 2025 in a series of threads here that I think might be helpful context for readers of ekuoto/mtefil

Every now and then I come across an indie publisher that does this and I’m like woah… wow… u guys r the best…. I love u…. I will scroll ur catalog for the rest of my days…
thought we were past this surf dracula nonsense but I just had to watch *ten episodes* to “earn” the post-credits scene of an anonymous character stumbling on a dark, miserable hole and muttering “barely big enough for a child…” don’t make my mistake: skip OMELAS ORIGINS
I’m thinking of it in line with like the last scene of A Doll’s House. Like finding one’s identity entirely independent of the father and husband that you have been passed from one to the other. Priest isn’t like Torvald in that play but I do think Satan has that paternal element
Oh wait if Imuri’s whole goal was to change herself entirely it’ll be kind of interesting if this is the inciting event that leads her down that path because it’ll be so separate from her relationship with Josh. I would appreciate that personally.
@Starry_Nekomata And like meanwhile he doesn’t even want to let them use them since he them to be dolls when Gero isn’t there. Like ok Torvald A Doll’s House
@amoringo000@Sinagusa_9 Yeah I’ve been really wanting more of Leah and Barbara’s thoughts and then also just like the background women characters opinions too…
shout out to my personal favorite cryptid: the fresno nightcrawler. if you search up "cryptid that looks like a pair of pants" this thing shows up. it looks bloody stupid. fucking living pair of trousers. outrageous
For Shirahama-sensei’s visual inspiration and style is:
- Alphonse Mucha, a very well known Czech illustrator.
- Moto Hagio, a legendary shoujo mangaka.
- And Princess Mononoke from Studio Ghibli!
Q&A for @KODANSHA_EN house!
@mp_vc_gangaroo Thank you very much!! The abstract description is very helpful! I had been trying to look at dictionary definitions, but they often are missing the “sense” of the word, so this is super helpful. Woah, what an intense word for Dante and Vergilius’s relationship 🥹
I am capable of being so normal about Dante maintaining partial control over his body because the Baba Yaga witches are keeping Verge around like his emotional support animal. The soothing presence of your ex boyfriend who ragebaits you.
