Status Updates From Witch Hat Atelier, Vol. 3

Qifrey is a freak and I KNOW IT. I just can't prove it yet ( ＞Д＜；) this mf is living rent free in my brain and I'm afraid I got the itch to draw him in certain situations...

silverwash????? is that some magical version of colorblindness that comes from being around silverwood trees?? why does tartah have it but not nolnoa? or maybe he does but he's just more used to it and has ways around it to make sure he can keep his inventory straight. they did say the silverwood trees were poisonous to people when they're ready to be extracted for ink right? of course that would have lasting effects

is tartah colorblind or something? would that somehow make him unfit to be a witch??

i LOVE these glimpses of impulsive, obsessive, potentially dangerous to himself and others qifrey. there MUST be some personal connection between him and the brimmed caps for him to cast aside all reason and his usual gentleness whenever he gets even the faintest lead

qifrey's first thought after seeing that the stationer's is closed is that they should go in through the skylight????? he really is a problem child huh i wonder just how rebellious he's been and in what ways exactly.......and if a certain grumpy wine connoisseur has had to bail him out several times

oh shut UP they are so married they're coming up on their 10 year anniversary

I FUCKING KNEW ITTTTTTTTTT
i was right on two accounts oh my god this never happens

QIFREY IS AN AMAZING TEACHER OUCH
i love that, without saying it so obviously, he’s basically rewarding agott for her teamwork with coco more so than for her individual skill. he recognizes how important it is to praise her for a job well done and well collaborated upon, even if he wishes they’d been more careful in the first place

it feels inevitable that we will at some point meet someone whose memory has been wiped bc they were exposed to magic and i wonder what it does to a person. surely it’s not a foolproof spell, and i’m sure it’s gone wonky in the past and accidentally removed too much. our brains are way too intricate to simply pluck out one specific memory without affecting other memories and facets of the mind, right??

okay YES i was wondering!!!!! bc the brimmed cap said that they were giving coco a gift before they all escaped the dragon realm, but we never saw them actually GIVE anything to her. and she didn’t discover anything on her person afterwards…….so what was the gift?? did they switch out her ink??? or some other amplification contraption that she wouldn’t notice slipped into her stuff??

DAMN RIGHT HES IMPERTINENT how percy jackson of him
god i love him more and more with every page and i cannot stress enough how much i REQUIRE backstory

richeh i am right there with you babes you would HATE jjk (or maybe love it or maybe have a love/hate relationship with it like i do)

the blurb/teaser on the back of this volume is so insane HELLO?????? i was already stoked to read but that just sucked me in even more
