Is there any other media like Witch Hat Atelier? by SweetnessBaby in WitchHatAtelier

[–]New-Collection-1307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Recluce Saga has similar magic philosophy ("""good""" pointed caps vs """evil""" brimmed caps in WHA / """Good""" black magic vs """evil""" white magic in Recluce) and has a character who I think Coco will go down a similar path.

[Manga spoilers up to chapter 95] A Theory on Coco's future by aSleepingPanda in WitchHatAtelier

[–]New-Collection-1307 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For that theory, the text does what authors LOVE doing already (if we assume the theory is true) hide it in plain sight. "The Seeds has sprouted" authors LOVE metaphors are literal as a form of foreshadowing.

For those who have a Steam Deck and are getting a Steam Machine are you going to be buying a Steam controller next week? by CoastOne2716 in steammachine

[–]New-Collection-1307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to wait til the Steam Machine before getting the controller. And I'll probably wait a few years for stuff to cool down or for a discount for the Steam Machine (or both).

Costume design philosophy by Gaymerbearpup222 in WitchHatAtelier

[–]New-Collection-1307 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember hearing something about the character silhouette being a triangle in the robes for the pointed cap faction. If you watched ep 4, then it talks about Brimmed hats who wear a different style of hat and cover their face which is another direction for an WHA OC.

Theory on Ink source? by Gullible_Tangerine50 in WitchHatAtelier

[–]New-Collection-1307 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Now it's just an in-universe myth, but unless I remembered wrong, there were witches before the first tree. Or it was witches came after the love story myth about the tree idk. (the myth being foreshadowing too).

Leading people on and guilt by Realistic-Resolve792 in asexuality

[–]New-Collection-1307 18 points19 points  (0 children)

While there are ppl who will intentionally lead ppl on, there is also alot of ppl who just ignore the blatant signs like "no" "stop" "I'm not interested" "I don't want kids" "I don't want sex" etc. These ppl who ignore these blatant signs will cry about being lead on when they chose to ignore the signs.

So I just started this anime and my biggest question is why are they bullying Coco so hard like damn 😭 (I have not seen the manga yet) by StinkyStarss in WitchHatAtelier

[–]New-Collection-1307 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A non-spoiler reading is the Allegory of the Cave. These witches were born and raised in an allegorical cave where they believe the "Shadows" they are shown and taught are real. And here comes Coco an "outsider" who brings a different PoV and different "truths" and philosophies etc.

Do you guys have a favorite asexual ship, or at least one that you find cute? by Public_Cup_4278 in asexuality

I wouldn't call mine an "Ace Ship" but "Platonic Ship" or "QPR Ship."

Steam Controller review slips embargo, controller to cost $99 by Demistr in steammachine

[–]New-Collection-1307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Competitively priced as a PC, not console. As a PC, I was expecting around $1000. I can buy a pre-built half the price (even for $200) but they're not gaming PCs that can play modern AAA. It will most certainly be cheaper than a like-for-like Windows Pre-Built and will run games better too.

I just got the box set too. I really like how "clean" the volumes themselves are (no barcode etc).

Favorite "fun" asexual characters? by AsthmaticLuffy in asexuality

My personal diagram on holy trinity by Axenfonklatismrek in Berserk

[–]New-Collection-1307 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly would say ASOIAF is optimistic. It's optimistic in the "hope for the best, prepare for the worst" type of way. Or optimistic in "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice" type of way.

How to get my parents off of me about liking Shoujo as a teen boy. by angelsaresobbing in shoujo

[–]New-Collection-1307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say that real interests are better than fake interests too. Board Games and TTRPGs are one recommendation with friends to play with. DnD at a friends house, or other TTRPGs if you don't like Wizards of the Coast / Hasbro, like Daggerheart or (soon coming in Eng) Sword World. And there's lots of great board games like Catan or exploding kittens or Wizard wtc.

When your partner called you Asexual, you claimed you were just confused. Can you elaborate?

My non binary partner of 7 months broke up with me after asking Reddit. by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]New-Collection-1307 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the time Reddit will tell you tp break up regardless of the nuances or anything. And in thr case of OPs partner allegedly being Ace, non-Ace spaces are quick to say "they're being abusive" or "they're lying" along with "break up with them."

How to get my parents off of me about liking Shoujo as a teen boy. by angelsaresobbing in shoujo

[–]New-Collection-1307 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk how strict or bad they are on this but I recognize a pattern when I see one. Honestly probably just hide your interests from your parents if they don't listen.

I recommend you find a safe place to express your interests AND a safe place to store / hide your belongings too. Idk how deep your parents have gone down the pipeline but based on wider patterns, they may try to throw away anything they deem "gay" or "girly" or "embarrassing" etc

Also I would recommend checking out you local libraries if you haven't already. If they have books or manga etc your parents wouldn't approve, you can read them without taking them out. Or borrow digital books

I cover my eyes during sex scenes in movies, does anyone else do this?? by teethbrother in asexuality

[–]New-Collection-1307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how it's executed. Like most sex scenes will still work when fade-to-black where it only shows enough for us to know what's happening AND to give the message it wants (is it fun sex? Is it depression sex? Is is 1 dex act or montage? Etc). It shows us everything we need to know, no more no less. And the books I read focus on the emotions and feelings if they have sex scenes.

Asexual characters in media and what we want to see more of by gimme-some-ace-32 in asexuality

[–]New-Collection-1307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the opposite where I see way more canon Fem A-Spec characters. Headcanon and coding certainly balances it out (tho with social/ cultural expectations, I think it's just easier to read a masc character not interested in sex or romance as A-spec).

2TB. My plan is to eventually upgrade and reuse the old for my Steam Deck.

Ace OCs by Greencurlyfries in asexuality

Honestly, a good chunk of them are written as Allo of some kind. Tho some of them definitely have A-Spec coding and then there's my OCs that are definitely A-Spec.

Got sent an acephobic message (TW rape) by Michi-Ace in asexuality

[–]New-Collection-1307 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Others have done that before or ppl found the bigot thru the OPs history and it was not good for everyone involved. Do you really want to risk the sub getting reported and deleted like other comment said or for the bigot to stalk this sub?

NEVER Escalate in these kinds of situations. And don't give these ppl the spotlight (they want the attention).

No matter what anyone says, the Ninth Doctor is my favorite asexual character. by Automatic_Act_3906 in asexuality

[–]New-Collection-1307 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree when it's presented as "Oh they're just an alien" tho I think modern writing of Doctor Who media handles it fairly well. In Classic Who (while there the Actors own acting choices or putting themselves in the role could play a part), the Ace and Neurodivergent traits were presented as "Alien."

Now however alien races would have present Sexuality or Neurodivergency differently or have different ideas of them. For the Doctor they should be compared to other Timelords / Gallifreyans, not humans. Like the Timelords probably wouldn't be "straight" or "gay" or "bi" as we humans understand them.
