#1 Effie and Saude Fan

After almost a decade on this site, I found another Tumblr user in the wild. I stopped to tie my shoe with rainbow laces this morning outside the silversmith at Colonial Williamsburg, and I heard it.

“I like your shoelaces.”

Oh. Oh no.

I responded the only way I could. “Thanks.” And then I reluctantly added, “I stole them from the president…and if that makes sense to you, I’m very sorry.”

The poor man, in full Colonial dress, stared at me for a long moment. And then burst into laughter. And said, “I haven’t thought about that in YEARS and this has never happened to me before.”

Yeah. Me neither. Not until today.

Qifrey was so ready to defend his husband 🙏

For instance many stars that we can see in the sky are already burnt out, but their light still reaches us for some time before we finally see them disappear.

Wouldn't it be so messed up if there comes a time where we start to see negative impacts on Olruggio's health from the frequent memory wipes but it's not noticed until the damage has started to spread independently. And he's not dying yet but it's clear his time is coming and his spark has clearly already died out but nobody noticed in time because they could still feel the warmth he puts out to everyone around him-

Agott cutting her hair as a way to distance herself from her family, because it hurts too much and because she doesn't feel worthy. Qifrey helping her clip it into a neat hairstyle, telling her it suits her, that she looks more mature. And Agott smiles a little bit.

Then Tetia shows up and Agott is so incredibly threatened by this bright, charming kid that just wants to be friends. Shutting down again to protect herself. But also, maybe feeling a little proud, because she's the senior student, and the more advanced one? When Richeh shows up she's not as hostile, but I think Agott still gets caught off-guard by her strong personality, despite the fact that she's so quiet most of the time.

Here’s the general art style Chinese mountains are drawn in:

And here’s how some of them actually look:

"Watch Witch Hat Atelier" propaganda... from an unlikely source.

He's Olruggio of the torch! He's THE fire witch! And he's Sweet. He's a little gruff but so very gentle. He refuses to sell or create spells that could even potentially hurt little kids. He's passionate about helping the common people over the demands of the nobility even when it costs him.

He's the Kindest, Most Radiant Star
