Status Updates From Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen V...

finished the series! making me want to cook something...

olly i- i don’t think i’ve seen a more smitten manga character in my life
he really said yeah you could totally poison me super easily rn but i trust you implicitly and i’m gonna look up at you with my big sparkly eyes and drunk smile as i say it

if your yaoi doesn’t fight over who gets to take care of who then are they really yaoi
the BLUSH on qifrey’s face when olly fucking manhandles him out of the kitchen mmmhmmmm god they love each other so loudly and yet so quietly at the same time

first of all i think they’ve referred to each other as “my friend” at least once every chapter so far like WE GET IT YOU WANNA SAY A DIFFERENT WORD BUT YOU CANT
second of all. he really made him a bouquet of roses. out of pastry. just make a ring next time jesus christ

oh and now they’re finishing each other’s sandwiches happy pride month i guess

they’re literally always paying close attention to each other and trying to make sure they’re taking care of themselves okay MARRIED
this really is the perfect kind of spinoff too bc the “magic as art” metaphor extends so naturally to cooking. the precision, the creativity, the way it can be used to calm the mind and show care to others?? my heart is bursting with fondness i love this series so fucking much

everything i’ve seen and heard about from this spin-off tells me that this was all just an elaborate excuse to draw more slutty housewife qifrey and domestic orufrey and i think this first title page highlights that right off the bat. this author knows exactly what we’re all here for

Ok, cutie little recipe book

Fluffy cheesy egg melt is to die for!!! 10/10 delicious and so easy to make! With how easy it is I don’t know why I never thought of this myself!! But I guess that’s the magic of the atelier, combining foods like magic

I’ve been making every recipe as I read!! So far I made mushroom and bacon croquettes (minus mushroom) they were delicious (I’ve made them before but they’re always a hit) 10/10
I also made the honey tree-scented pudding cups, it was yummy but the tops got watery because the recipe said to put on the toppings before cooling but I think it would have worked better after. 8/10

this spinoff manga is in the same vein as yuri on ice where it feels like a crime that these two are not canon
