#whaspoilers i think qifrey is desperate because of what the brim hats did to him and wanting a future, but some part of it is also his internalized ableism, and i think he may be attributing his worsening blindness to the silverwood when he was blind but doesn't remember it
#whaspoilers Also Ik there's nothing inherently wrong with an adult using えらい for a child but using something with the tone of "Aw but you came back alive and that's what matters!" in this scenario feels so patronizing for a child whom they had trust into an adult's position
i hope qifrey ends up being a show off to his grandapprentices like beldaruit,, one day they go flower picking when the girls are busy changing the world and he makes a field of water roses that turn to ice at touch,, olly sighs lovingly and their grandapprentices fucking lose it
You know, though I don’t agree with Engeldale and his actions and choices, I really can’t help but sympathize with the reason he became a Brimmed Cap: the rising, almost exorbitant, cost of living for the elderly especially the sick elderly.
It makes me wonder if every Brimmed +
#whaspoilers i do love my good old qifrey angst and perma treefrey but id honestly keep those to just ideas. wha has many big ideas centered around hope and change and honestly killing qifrey off could be compelling yes but in the end i do think he'll be able to live life happily
I like to think that Qifrey's curly hair in early manga was flat at the top because of the hat. It curls straight up around the hat's edges. That's relatable af and also kinda funny
I feel like to the other witches in the great hall qifrey's like that one recluse in high school you find out actually has a life
"...Qifrey? The quiet kid? What about him?"
"A teacher?? And he's got an apprentice already?"
"FOUR?!?!"
I really love the idea of Qifrey unleashing all his previously suppressed tree puns on Coco.
Every day, it's another pun that no one else can catch. Coco starts developing an eye twitch.
(Years later the irritation has built until it's Qifrey-Beldaruit 2.0. The cycle contines.)
i genuinely just want to cry olruggio saw straight through him from the very beginning he didn’t care about getting hurt cuz he knew qifrey was lying they make me ache HOW DOES THIS HURT MORE ON REREAD #whaspoilers
