it wasn't ever normal that you guys were getting coffee for cheaper than people in Brazil and Colombia (the producers) do though, I hope you know that
having year round mangoes in Wisconsin isn't normal either btw there's a whole century that explains it actually
btw brazilians and colombians get significantly lower quality coffee for a way higher price than in the european nations to which it gets exported. over 80% of brazilian coffee leaves the nation, and the price of coffee in brazil has recently skyrocketed, despite the fact that it is responsible for 38% of the world's yearly coffee production.
theres some 500 years of history on why that is, which you should read, but it is somewhat sufficient to keep in mind that the first world requires the exploitation of the third to maintain its luxuries.
Finally caught up with Apothecary Diaries. I can't believe they gave Maomao a gun.
i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"
@holyknuckled you get it. lterally what are we here on earth for if not to occasionally impose gastropods upon unsuspecting customers. this story is delightful

An update on Welsh & Shedar - Part 1
Recently, Kim Bruges has been posting a lot of materials in regard to various Krosmoz media, which includes the previously-posted animatic videos.
And today brings us to the topic of Welsh & Shedar, of which we now know new details.
"Character: Bechamel. These are my own design researches but the 2 last images are reference posings based on designs reworked by a collective work. (I seem to remember that it was Carlo Toselli who proposed the final design seen in the trailer)."
Unlike most people's theories, the ecaflip girl's name is not Shedar, it turns out. X)
"character: Khan Karkass. I did not design Khan. this is just a reference posing."
"character: Rillette (unused research) that character is a bellaphone."
As was the common theory, this character was a bellaphone, which were previously observed in the Wakfu series.
She has appeared on the famous leaked preview image, and some of the W&S concept art, all of which depict her in a more chibi style. Considering this character's absence from the Welsh & Shedar trailer, she may have been scrapped, but we may never know.
"character:Mou (the big cat)."
character: Mulou. This is my design research but it has been heavily changed by a collective work. The final version is visible in the trailer
"character:"mama" (i'm not sure to remember the real name). This is not my design but just a board for expressions."
(There are more concepts of her, but its hard to download images from instagram...)
Also, interestingly, this character's design is quite similar to this Aux Tresors and Wakfu Season 4 background character design. Possible inspiration/reusage?
small strip showing the eyes in the clouds. it shows that the idea of the eyes is in Tot's mind since long time ago. He finally used them in Wakfu season 4.
(There are more parts to this strip, but I only grabbed the last three to save time)
We had already seen this in the trailer, btw!
The next part will have the more interesting concept art and information, pertaining to Sipho and Zabel.
Underrated JRPG feature is when one party member uses some non-weapon object as a weapon, but you still upgrade your stats by buying weapons, so now every weapon shop in the world needs to carry parasols of increasing lethality
This post inspired by how Genis in Tales of Symphonia canonically uses a ball and cup toy (kendama) because he's a kid

But because everyone in the game also gets an Ultimate Evil Super Cursed Ancient Weapon, the game has to find a way to make an Ultimate Evil Super Cursed Ball and Cup Toy. You know. For evil children.
