Mood is low but at least my hair is behaving today

photo of op, just the upper right side of their face visible. Their hair is short and curly, about 3a type.

I don't do bad endings either! And I would let you, but the issue is... it is not uh... just one WIP... I have been active in the past two months I fear. I think part of the issue is that my brain is starting to get a liiittle overwhelmed 😅

Getting a lot of "now draw the rest of the fucking horse" vibes from the water on this piece (not sharing the rest until I am done with the water. Might take a bit, from uh... two days to nine years. Idk)

excerpt of a digital drawing; a wave rushing up and curving. Qifrey (from witch hat atelier) is barely visible (shoulder, hat, and hair) on the right. His sword, raincleaver, is splitting water on the upper part of the image. His ribbon is looping and being partly submerged by water.

Yeah sure, let's jot down a sketch idea completely out of the blue instead of finishing any of the other bazillion projects we have ongoing. Why not. Yaoi wins and all of that. What if we kissed in the music room.

A rough sketch of a modern version of Qifrey and Olruggio from witch hat atelier, sitting in front of a vertical piano, kissing.
Qifrey is holding a bow and a violin and he is half leaning on the piano stool, Olly is leaning slightly back.
There is a music stand, and papers falling from it suggesting Qifrey's movement.

Sleeping with Papa (Colouring those kittens took five minutes of colouring and three months of procrastinating it) #whafanart #tbnafanart

One more fic idea materialized in my brain. I need to lock in and start finishing them first though.

Screenshot of a text. It says: "... you're lying..." rasped Qifrey. "No." lied Olruggio.

Receipt: translation: He embraced my neck and then my arms And then kissing my face he said "disdainful soul, blessed be the one who put you into the world!"* (technically: the one who got pregnant with you, but that sounds weird as fuck in english)

Screenshot of a passage of the Divine Comedy. It reads as follow: Lo collo poi con le braccia mi cinse; basciommi 'l volto e disse: "Alma sdegnosa, benedetta colei che 'n te s'incinse!

And this is where that spell in the middle comes in handy (cough)

witch hat atelier manga panel screenshot, it says: there are many kinds of memory magic... one spell eliminates all memories of magic, another removes any trace of a given person... and another spell erases a specified period of time.

I wanted a fun practice drill for drawing. Anyway meet Billy the Expressive Skeleton.

a series of very rough skeleton (billy) sketches: from left to right; billy sitting down and saying "I beg your fuckin' pardon?", billy playing on a handheld console while laying down, billy dejected, billy upset, billy joining hands in delight, billy holding themselves, billy dramatically throwing cash while holding a bag

Billy the Expressive skeleton sitting with a cup of tea and saying "I'm not a therapist, Janice - and if I were, I'd have a rate"

"The Silverwood and the Star" Did some colouring practice on older art today :) #whafanart #tbnafanart #orufrey ##Δ帽子

A digital drawing of Witch Hat
Atelier Olruggio and Qifrey as kids.
They are in the woods. Olruggio is sitting leisurely on a rock, holding a stick with a glowing star on too, wearing a crown of smaller stars.
Qifrey is kneeling on the grass, silverwood shoots sprouting form him as he looks at Olruggio, a silverwood tree entangling with his limbs.

Some details because Bsky tends to kill the quality.

Details from the painting above: Olruggio's hands over Qifrey's notebook, the ribbon intertwined in his fingers; there are two memory spells beside him.

Closeup of Olruggio's face from the previous painting. He is crying, his mouth twisted, his cheeks are slightly red.

"Indelible Oblivion" Something about the feeling of desperately reaching for a memory you cannot recall but desperately want to remember. #whafanart #tbnafanart #whaolruggio #whaspoilers (kind of)

A digital illustration of Olruggio from Witch Hat Atelier holding Qifrey's journal, his face twisting as he cries. Qifrey's ribbon is twirling around him. Memory spells are falling on the picture. Behind him: two magpies. It is night time, and the background is a starry sky.

Okay this is shaping up to be fun to draft so I'm sharing the pre-draft snippet. Respect 😤 your 😤 elders 😤

Screenshot of a text note. The text reads as follows:

He handed the dragon plushie to Qifrey
"Here. It's yours." he said.
Qifrey frowned, his fingers methodically inspecting the shape as he moved them around it, squeezing the fabric, brushing over the thread, the eye buttons, the wings.
"Olly, I know I love dragons but I believe I am too old for a plushie."
"Alright first of all its name is Titi an' ye're gonna show it some damn respect." Olly quipped.
"Why is Titi falling apart?"
'''Cause it's older than you. Respect yer elders."

Local Cryptid @localcryptideli.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I am drafting a fluff fic focused on Olly's childhood and anyway, here is the plot bearing plushie. I decided its name is Titi.

digital sketch of a fabric stuffie shaped like a dragon, sith three horns, tail fluff, two wings, a wool collar with golden tassels, blue eye buttons, and belly and inner tail patchwork. The paws have quilt beans.

A digital painting of Olruggio from Witch Hat Atelier from when he was a child in Ghodrey, holding a book and laughing. He is wearing a winter coat. Behind him there are pine trees in the snow. It is snowing, and there is a hint of northern lights.

Amor ch'a nullo amato amar perdona (love which none beloved from loving spares) ----- It seems like I am at a phase in my art where I need to draw each individual grass blade by hand else I perish. #orufrey #qiolru #tbnafanart #whafanart #Δ帽子 #とんがり帽子のアトリ絵

Olruggio and Qifrey from Witch Hat Atelier laying on grass, Olly's head on Qifrey's arm. They are sleeping and holding Olly's black ribbon. There is some white hemlock and dandelions around.

Doing a post for Silvernectar on His Lips, so it is easier to find on my bsky profile under Media (I already lost the first post lol) 🌱 29.8k, 3 Chapters 🌱 Alternate PoV 🌱 Explicit Smut 🌱 Angst 🌱 T4T Orufrey 🌱 first time 🌱 Fumbled attempts at BDSM archiveofourown.org/works/894143...

Ao3 Screenshot: Silvernectar on his lips, by localcryptideli.
Summary:
Olly's cheeks were flushed.
How gorgeous, Qifrey thought, how splendid, being able to see something this beautiful.
His eyes softened.
The roots of the silverwood intertwined into ropes inside his lungs.
He wet his lips.
"Hurt me." he blurted.
Olly blinked, then frowned, then widened his eyes as he jerked back "Excuse me, what?"
---
A night spent drinking becomes another love confession, another first kiss. Qifrey tempts fate.

Okay trying the promo thing I have seen other writers do: (clears throat, ready to probably do this badly) 🌱12k 🌱Multiple POVs 🌱Qifrey-centric angst 🌱Hurt/Comfort 🌱some mild orufrey 🌱Flashbacks, CPTSD, and Childhood Trauma

Ao3 screenshot. Title: Ghosts in the Dark, by localcryptideli. Summary: Qifrey remembered, like the only bar of a symphony that he could not play anymore, that speck of fear after someone closed the door and left him on the ground. He remembered, more vividly, hands clasped around his wrists, and hands against his legs, and a finger against his jaw, and the shimmer of a blade inching closer toward his eye.
Aka the one time Richeh accidentally made her teacher cry.

If you see this post your black and white art! 🤍🖤

Digital drawing of Olruggio from Witch Hat Atelier. He is sitting on the stone floor of his workshop, his knees pulled up, his hand and wrist over his knees, his hand propped over his chin. He is holding a pyreball spell, looking pensively at the floor. The floor is scattered with paper, some ripped, and memory erasure spells. There is a stone wall and clothes hanging on it behind him.

"They want me to redo what now?" Small sketch! Will refine it and colour it at a later stage but for now here you go! I don't know how to come up with tags, I am sorry. If you find this it's fate then I guess.

Rough digital sketch of the modern version of Olruggio from Witch Hat Atelier sitting in front of his computer desk (keyboard and digital tablet on the desk), drinking a fancy frozen drink in a loose brushbuddy shirt. He is wearing his glasses and he looks tired and a bit resigned.
