the world needs more unicorns

hey there witches, have you ever wanted to know what orugio would look like with longer hair? or perhaps you'd like to see his baby face again? shirahama hits us up with this nice spectrum illustration! gotta say, orugio rocks coco's hairstyle pretty nice haha

each note is a fun descriptive name for each 'gio (from left to right)

1. shavedgio (using the word sori, which means "shaved" in this context)

2. defaultgio (parentheses says "the usual")

3. growingio (using the word nobi, which means that something is extending i.e. growing)

4. unkemptgio (using the word bosa, which is part of bosabosa which refers to something being messy or disheveled)

can't have a 'gio without his 'frey! here're qifrey's long-hair versions, from right to left (cuz of course he mirrors orugio)

defaultfrey (in parentheses, "the usual")

ponytailfrey. below shirahama notes that this one might look the most "witch-like", though in parentheses she also says he kinda looks like a researcher. clearly shirahama thinks a proper fantasy man needs hair below the shoulders

sunday bestfrey (according to the notes, he took a bath lol)

I went, "What. no. she/her."

"How does that work? With she/her/hers and they/them?"

I stared at her. "What are you talking about?"

"Well you came out as-" and I said, "I'm asexual."

She replied, "Like an amoeba, I know."

"Oh. My god. No. Mom. It doesn't- it's not the asexual you learned about in biology. I didn't come out as a single celled organism."

With heavy relief, she said "Oh, it has a different meaning?"

Sound on.

would you continue to keep me company?

But you know what I think would hurt him worse?

When he finds out that Qifrey, through the trauma and the horrible reality of his existence, has warped the situation into being *all his own fault*.

Can you imagine? Olly is aware enough to realize that him making Qifrey promise to stay alive by repeatedly taking his memories was a special kind of torture for him. He knows that this was an incredibly selfish and cruel demand. The minute he knows about it, he wouldn’t hesitate to beg forgiveness.

But imagine Qifrey beats him to the punch. Just- falls to his knees, voice shaking, as he says he understands if Olly can’t forgive him. That he doesn’t know why he keeps on doing so. That he doesn’t deserve that kindness from Olly.

And Olly has to sit there and realize just how much this has so deeply affected Qifreys perception of himself and their relationship. He’s suddenly confronted with how living like this has made Qifrey loathe himself so completely.
