Me vacilas
El emotional damage bn

rating: 3.5 ⭐️

i enjoyed it but this volume felt more like a filler..

Sí, la 1 am y lo q ando haciendo es infartar por dos muchachos de tinta y papel

qifrey’s dead in the eyes smile when coco says that it feels like something wonderful is about to begin ajsmsmskskk yeah babes he just did something unforgivable to the love of his life, the only person who has stuck by him for so many years, bc he’s obsessed with maintaining the peaceful life he’s managed to create with said love of his life and their adoptive children everything is DOOMED but yay pretty stars

anyway. that was brutal
in terms of actual plot stuff, i still feel pretty in the dark about what the brimmed caps would be doing with qifrey’s eye and memories (and future???) but i did notice more tree imagery!!!!! full panels of roots and branches just before qifrey wipes olruggio, and that big illustration of the eye inside the trunk……WHAT DOES IT MEAN

(cont.)
despite olruggio having this whole arc about trusting qifrey’s intentions and coming to a compromise and realizing that the most important that is being there for him and supporting him through whatever darkness he’s facing. all of that just for qifrey to be the one to spit in the face of that goodwill and love and to force olruggio away from him again in the name of protection (unasked for!!) what a mess

seeing qifrey wipe nolnoa was child’s play compared to THIS, after the past two volumes had endeared us even more to olruggio and how kind he really is. and that’s apparently exactly why qifrey feels the need to keep him “safe” by keeping him ignorant of the knowledge about the brimmed caps’ master plan. he’s too gentle and good to shoulder such ugliness, so qifrey will carry it instead (cont.)
