oh richeh too real
i get it though!! the price of the freedom of adulthood is responsibility, and that can feel like such a shackle to creativity. but i like to think that as we get older and are constantly forced to do things we don't want to do, we just have to make more of an effort to carve out the proper time and energy to continue cultivating the raw creativity that still lives inside us from childhood (cont.)

TETIA YOU ARE SO ADORABLE i love the reasoning behind her pigtails design that's so fucking cute (and makes me feel more vindicated for overthinking qifrey and olruggio's designs)

oh. oh qifrey *no*
and right after lecturing about the preciousness of memories and being so fatherly and gentle with coco when she feels bad for tartah oh GOD. how tragic it is for the "good guys" to sink to the same lows as the "bad guys" in service of what they deem to be the greater good. and we still don't even know what qifrey's greater good IS. but he's truly morally grey okay got it cool cool cool

so it's not caused by working around silverwood trees? it's just a genetic abnormality from birth? .....i'm still suspicious
but i adore that circular panel of tartah, almost as if he's in an eye himself
and a bit more of qifrey's disdain for witch society!! it does seem absolutely ridiculous that tartah wouldn't be accepted as a witch bc he has silverwash. genetic purity is part of the requirements too, how shocking

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
