Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: とんがり帽子のアトリエ | Tongari Boushi no Atelier | Witch Hat Atelier (Manga) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Olruggio/Qifrey (Tongari Boushi no Atelier) Characters: Qifrey (Tongari Boushi no Atelier), Olruggio (Tongari Boushi no Atelier) Additional Tags: Character Study, qifrey pov, Hopeful Ending, Manga spoilers up to chapter 97, Implied alcoholism-adjacent behaviour but like within the canon-typical range, Olruggio suffers some conversational jumpscares in this one that would kill a lesser man, but thankfully as we all know the star of Ghodrey is built different, Mr. Qifrey ‘we must imagine Sisyphus fucking miserable actually. just bereft. out of his mind with grief’ Witch Hat Atelier, it’s been Olly depression hours in this atelier. tfw no qifrey Summary:

Something, equal parts wariness and weariness, stirs in Olruggio’s eyes whenever Qifrey makes some reference to the future — when he indirectly promises a tomorrow, a next week, an ‘after your commissions are done’. It’s the subtlest thing, a flicker, a spark; someone who knew him less well might not pick up on it. But Qifrey knows Olruggio as well as he knows himself, and he can hardly in good conscience begrudge him his flinch of cynicism. Not when it’s wholly his own fault for having put it there.

Something about dragons and their status as formidable wildlife, legendary opponents and prized hunting trophies who's territory shrinks as humans expand theirs. Featuring front and foremost the wizard of diplomacy who mentioned it in the first place.

shirahama thinks she's so funny and clever. and she's right. unfortunately she's always right she is that funny and clever. yeah you would know wouldn't you qifrey

'what do we yearn for and aim to provide' god. okay. he just spelled his entire deal out for all to see like an open bleeding wound and for the longest time we didn't even know it but alright I guess. whatever

(in addition to the art and the characters and all of the rest of it this is what sets the manga apart for me; it feels like the thematic core is so completely and solidly built, it's so coherent everywhere)

the way this whole part of the speech could be delivered directly at qifrey word for word and make perfect sense but you won't know it for another like sixty odd chapters. it is what he seeks and cannot be granted. it is something precious that was taken from him by magic. and a fUCKING tree is here about it as well.

it's a gentle happy spell... olruggio....... the sky's kindest most radiant star shines even in its absence, he doesn't even need to be on page to do his thing. mvp always. more narrative mirrors are here to party, as we see qifrey also being paralleled up against coco's mother in chapter 94, once we Know. and, for all I will go on to gleefully drag him about some stuff in the next part here, he casts for coco's mother a spell there meant to cause her comfort just like olruggio's spell was meant for him, even though he doesn't really believe it will work or that she can feel it.

what REALLY gets me here on the reread though is that qifrey knows immediately. he knows what's going to happen to the romonon gold people by using the amplification lens and he doesn't say shit fhskdfhasjh

A reminder that sell-buy dates or best-used-by dates are not the same as expiration dates.

The website puts a link to the USDA site which links to foodsafety dot gov who really wants you to use the app, but you can bypass it.

Also a link to the Canadian government's advisory on best-before dates.

this was on Y'ALL to pick a better candidate to back in the primary because WE FUCKING TOLD Y'ALL
