﹒Obsession (2026)﹒️

How an outfit of an apprentice represents their teacher.

1. The girls' outfits look like they are meant for children who like to play in a garden, get dirty and are very active. It really shows how Qifrey views a proper childhood. They are shorter, made out of less fancy looking but probably more durable material.

Euini's outfit doesn't look very comfy, nor like it's meant for a child. It looks like he is supposed to be still, focus on study and represent Kukrow well among other witches in the Great Hall.

2. Qifrey's apprentices are not just little copies of him. Yes, he made sure that this familiar teacher-apprentice bond, that is so important to witches, is visible in their clothing. What's more, the blue capes not only reference Qifrey, but also other members of his "witch family" - Olruggio and Beldaruit. Still, they are not just small copies, his students are his own people.

he's stomping his foot, he's pissed off about it.

it's after the kids talk about qifrey in front of him that olly finds qifrey in the cafeteria. maybe he wants to make sure qifrey doesn't fail, just cause olly knows what that feeling is like. olly wants to spite those great hall kids just like the ones back home in ghodrey.

because olruggio can relate to that. he knows what it's like to be the subject of gossip.

he knows what it's like to know the other kids around you want you to fail even though they've never met you. olly knows what it's like to have people waiting for you to slip up.

i'm a big sucker for a diegetic piece of art/literature serving as a mirror to the story's characters, so naturally the illustration of the poem about a silverleaf tree falling in love with a star from chapter 47 of WHA *had* to be redrawn as Qifrey and Oru ✨🍃

tip jar!

aaand a rotated version under the cut for easier Oru appreciation!

“Cute that you think you could keep up with me.”

“You're getting sloppy.”

“Think you can handle another round?”

“Too slow.”

“Don't be so hard on me, I'm still sore from last time.”

“I need five.”

“Perhaps you should've stretched first.”

“Slow down!”

“I'm not done with you yet.”

“Nice grip.”

“Get used to being below me.”

“Teach me that move.”

“Show me what you've got.”

“Must you always slam me down so hard?”

“Let's go again.”

“You can do better than that.”

“Tired already?”

“Someone has a bit of pent up aggression, huh?”

“Watch me.”

“We're done for today.”

“Steady your breathing before you pass out.”

“Is that the best you can do?”

“Quit going easy on me.”

Sleepy Orufrey :) finished this piece from last week. I kind of want to colour this but first something else I want to draw first
