Acrylic marker drawing of a window with a beach view. There’s a white cat in a loaf pose resting on the windowsill, next to a bunch of marine themed knick-knacks such as a miniature lighthouse, seashells and a boat.

breaks my heart when people respond to zine scams with long threads of "advice" boiling down to 1) don't make zines and 2) if you do, professionalize. genuinely think my advice would be the complete opposite. go smaller, go shittier, go more diy, and all of that will keep it manageable.

(of course, even more likely that Qifrey's just welling with pride & affection for Coco in that second panel, & that is what Coco is keenly feeling & drawing strength from!! but yknow :] )

pride of the tidepool @samarqand.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Coco knows anything of Qifrey's situation, but i love how even in her mind's eye, Qifrey seems to really be *responding* in his way to Olly's presence. it's 👀 👀 to imagine maybe Coco has sort of subconsciously picked up on something -- or if this is just a really nice bit of foreshadowing

pride of the tidepool @samarqand.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
it's so so good, the casual intimacy. i keep going back to the subtle tension in Qifrey's mien w/ Olly draped on him, compared to how Qifo is smiling at her on the prev. page. from delicately laced fingers to tightly clasped hands; from soft smile to a bit of a pinch in his expression. not to say

the detail on this & Qifrey's soft sorrow scrawled all across his expression and body language does me in. amazing work

doujin events are kind of hard to describe to people but when i say "it's like if ao3 was a irl space" the reaction is almost always "OHHHHH" *instant understanding* which i think is awesome

Qifrey gets sulky, petty, snippish, outright *angry* at Beldaruit. that's the behavior of a young person who feels safe enough w/ their guardian to drop the mask & be imperfect, rough-hewn, hurt. Qifrey is the mask and the wearer both. both are true Qifreys.

Qifrey has fought tooth & nail to be gentle, despite. (only in 94 does he finally recognize/accept he *is* giving others the warmth & care Olly gave him) but that traumatized, desperate child who lashes out is always near. we only need to look at his interactions with Beldaruit:
Several WHA manga panels featuring Qifrey's reflection: "What was once given to me... I now... ! Wait... That's right. I suppose now... ... I'm the giver."

Partners in pain #orufrey
A 4 panels comic. The story takes place when Qifrey and Olruggio are both young apprentices.
On the first panel, Beldaruit asks Qifrey "so... what is going on with this tassel exchange?". The little boy does not answer and the atmosphere is heavy.
On the second panel, Qifrey answers :"...nothing. stop being nosy." Beldaruit knows he wouldn't get anything from his apprentice and says "fine! Keep your secrets". The atmosphere is quite dark around Qifrey.

On the third panel, beldaruit asks the exact same question to Olruggio. Little olruggio is very overwelmed and is kind of panicking as he knows the implications of exchanging tassels, but he also doesnt know why the exchange happened.
On the forth panel, beldaruit gets more insistent by saying " Olruggio of Ghodrey! Are you courting my dearest apprentice?" Olruggio is still overwelemed by the ordeal and tries to flee by answering "no...? You know what? I forgot some contractions somewhere! I have got to go...to find them. Bye!!" And flees.A 3 panels comic. The story also takes place when Qifrey and Olruggio are both young apprentice.
One the first panel, Beldaruit's eyes are closed, he is deep into concentration, and says "Olruggio of Ghodrey...because my dearest, sweetest, marvelous apprentice's actions don't allow me to provide essential information that come with your age. I am seeing forced to give them to you"

Second panel: beldaruit gets closer to little olly and asks : "say, Olruggio, have you ever heard of 'the birds and the bees' before today?"

Last panel: this takes place later that day, both qifrey and olruggio are lying on grass. Olly looks very overwhelmed and is grabbing his cloak tight, clearly not recovering from his talk with Beldaruit. While Qifrey looks like an angry wet cat and complains about his master :"bedaruit keeps trying to talk about some idiotic 'birds and bees'. Why would I care? There are no birds or bees where we live! We live under stupid water!! Duh!!"

as if the reason for his retreat from the insular society of the Great Hall revolves around that ribbon and the way it rules his life and the way he will never, ever let anyone know this!!!

Qifrey no doubt turns over & over in his head, crushed by its enormity, & working at how he can save Olly from it next time, as if he can dance them both away from the same ending. (to no avail, of course. Olly is too clever.) i'm SURE he picks apart every excruciating detail

absolutely. form of penance one hundo💯 & each time *does* end the same (as Qifrey narrates it), but i have no doubt the memory of every step there, from the circumstances that (re)awaken Olly's doubt, to the moment Qifrey wonders if he'll need to do it, to Olly's words (deeds): a nightmare that

& perhaps what might become clearer through, say, an Easthies flashback (aheem.... aheem) that reveals more about Great Hall mores & society is that the gossip is intrusive, yes, but the anger/suspicion on the witches' faces seems so -- uncalled for. is it truly such a sin to leave the Hall?
