based on "black is the colour" scottish-origin folk song + extras..magazines i imagined for them lol
#witch hat tag#orufrey#there's a version of that song i listen to all the time with my beloved orufrey playlist.#the cookpot thing is an advert at the back of his. most of him wants to keep his secrets close forever. to avoid the gaze of the world#yet some tiny part of him would probably be set free by being able to sell his story to hello magazine. just get it out in the open y'know#the tiny part of oru that might like to dress in fancy outfits for sleek monochrome photo pages#his mag is worth more bc it's like High Class that businessmen would read and then he might get more commissions etc bc he seems so cool#qifreys would be read by nosy middle-aged women who don't have hobbies while they're spacing out in the bath#I'll TURN into a TREE!!! <- if his man makes him feel at PEACE!!#Huh?? I said 'if my FAMILY make me feel at peace..' this sounds so sensationalised😳 now i feel troubled..which helps me#^^^^^ ALL FAKE HE WOULD HAVE MORE DIGNITY THAN THIS 'TIS BUT A JEST

warming back up with 89 feelings
#witch hat tag#orufrey#uh..um..idk what to say. snow-for-brains#i can't believe all that could be & is to come in upcoming chapters. i think my insanity will process itself and increase throughout august#cause i really can't believe we're really here. i have to stay alive no matter what#i looked up the jp for photosynthesis 光合成 and it just looks more directly romantic and clearly orufrey#kanji is a massive pain but if you KNOW the meaning the meaning is clear instantly even if you can't say it#with english you can SAY 'photo' but do you know it means 'made with light' does it LOOK orufrey when the time comes#the official translation sounded stilted as always..oh well#about qifrey's distraught suggestion about brug LOL:#i realised suddenly that qifrey is definitely going to beg oru and the girls to not take his memories and let him become a tree.#i mean i already thought that but..it will be so thematic bc all of them would obviously ask him to continue living#but everyhting in the manga is leading to him saying I really would rather die than forget all of this and all of you#but he would suggest to OTHER ppl that they forget him. he would take on sin if it means oru could have Innocence Is Bliss#(that's why he would suggest throwing the memory of this ADORABLE BRUG under the bus if it's THAT OR DYING) (dude calm down)#it's because I'M so lost that i could never bear to start over again - AGAIN. please don't take you all from me. let me go#then there will still be huge thematic weight in him becoming at tree even though coustas already did#(i always must think about what shirahama thinks will be a more interesting narrative)#bc he'll be the tree that remains a tree - so qifrey thinks - oru and the girls knowing they'll work for years to find out a way#i literally wrote my fic abt this etc idk why i'm acting like i only just realised it. but it was the the 'wasurenai yo' line this chapter#i was like You can't be sure of that lol. after it was officially translated as How could I forget?#i still don't like that bc of course i COULD forget. but I won't. I will choose not to. Wasurenai yo#please honour my choice. i know you're so kind oru - so much better a person than me - you could never use that magic like i could#qifrey's 'kindness' is in withdrawing himself from oru against oru's will bc oru will be better without him#oru's future 'kindness' will be in being so good a person he could never do that if qifrey said Give me the kinder death#YOU don't need to remember my troubles oru - bc you're better off without me. but me? I am NOT better off without you.#but coco and oru together can do anything because he is the saviour and coco the solver

idk if anyone needs this but i made a scrappy text translation of chapter 89 of witch hat atelier yesterday! it might help better than a machine translation if you follow along with the speech bubbles. :)
#witch hat tag#witch hat atelier spoilers#whaspoilers#animation tag#never would i have expected that oru saved his life and glomped him immediately#(i'm glad that oru has found a distraction from his trauma - i think he's the type who capitalises on a distraction from dark memories#so a stupid quarrelsome beautiful new connection will make a big claim on his thoughts as happens to a child's mind)#or that qifrey the poor dear angel IMMEDIATELY felt the mysterious Twinge (i didnt know how else to put that 'zobon' or whatever it was)#seriously?? i thought maybe you felt happy and then it all came crashing down after the tower. i didnt realise you already....#began to feel SAFE the very moment you met him..i'm starting to tear up again. ive cried a lot abt orufrey in the past few days..the usual#vvv personal rambles. i've been spending time on a completely unrelated translation project and i think it's helping settle my head#(i've translated over 40 songs and other stuff too since wednesday.............)#i'll never care about wha less..don't want to. but thinking about other things can help me feel calmer#less frustrated about not being able to make art good enough to reflect my emotions. about the alienation#feeling i don't have to be drawing all the time will actually be able to help me express myself better.#i think i read once - and i feel it too - that taking breaks from art can actually make you a better artist when you come back#and i've realised again that i need to focus on original art too. it'll help. it's my future. stories and characters i completely own#i've made a little neocities for my wha/orufrey stuff..cai's atelier. i'll work on that too. my safe place. my little wha world#what shirahama wants to say... and what it means to me. those are the two points of my fan experience..always.#this hasnt all been for nothing. theres even people who appreciate what's specific to my art - just like how everyone has a specificity.#yea getting personal on a sillay gif when i havent drawn anything good in ages. but it's still my journey...

#witch hat tag#obviously the official translation will be out in a week. this is for the obsessed#i'll probably do this next month too since it's going to be another one i'll lose it over i'm sure. Oh my precious orufrey era. save me#i still feel off after an internet break so it's hard to fully absorb its emotions..but it brought my weak heart back to life also#finding it difficult to bring myself back to my drawingy self but i'll instill 89 thoughts into art tags soon i'm sure#if i TRULY leaned into my personal scottish/northern english oru vibes i would have had him call the kid an eejit

"second chance romance" prompt inspired by chapter 59
#witch hat tag#orufrey#orufreyweek2025#kinda obsessed today with how oru doesn't refer to a seedling like olly does even though that's crazy#but a 何かしらの何か - some kind of something. he just seems to know sooo much about the unspoken something that can develop....#ohhhh orufrey#also it's funny that he calls tartah a twerp when he just says ボウズ. like lad or maybe rascal or something but twerp is vicious LOL#he's aware enough to notice the simmering animosity the twerp has for his man perhaps but not aware enough to know why#aware enough to see romance within the hearts of youths..except now clearly tartah's broken up with her..HIS LITTLE GIRL!!!!#❌Twerp no longer invited for sleepovers and dinner#❌Can we still use your doorway passage with the toilet n all tho it's mad useful#BTW 'mind your own beeswax' means 'mind your business'. not everyone knows...

'truth', 'hair combing' and 'proximity' prompts..the emotional whiplash of one post
#witch hat tag#orufrey#orufreyweek2025#idk if thats the tag. why are there 3 prompts every day. prolly meant to choose your favourite. don't test me lol#i was gonna go for something slightly different and oru was going to say “haunt me then” if it won't madden you then drive ME mad#qifrey looking kind of manic was going to be part of this more metaphorical/dreamlike route but i left his manicness in#^ probably makes no sense. tired and talkin to maself indulgently about scraps#also was gonna draw the delicate sliver of time after hairdressing for each other where it would feel appropriate to keep touching hair#oru leaning against qifreys knees while reading and qifrey plays with the silky strands..in half an hour this will become weird#so let's just enjoy every moment we have together

shadow on me
#witch hat tag#orufrey#witch hat atelier is affecting me. deeply don't like this one much..let's continue on#once again impact was lost with the most recent chapter's translation..i'll have to draw to the original vibes this month#ISNT IT ORUFREY WEEK SOON?! always busy with my world of orufrey#i don't think The Branch grows and then goes back or something. i think he can just feel the shadow that the shadowcasting glasses hide#the shadow you hide into yourself. what was that kingdom hearts thing..The closer you get to the light

weak skribbles it's hard to draw lately. it was fathers day or something
#witch hat tag#orufrey#i dreamt crazy wha dreams..future chapter covers..there were some weird ones. i had to defend one online for just being ermile#people hated it for just being her with some flowers. i was like. It's minimalist. privately i thought there werent enough flowers#it WAS a bit basic. also qifrey got his eye back & it was brown. also that side of his face was glass like ashton from critrole.#shadow hands came out of it. but only in the other dimension where coco could see The Truth. then i woke up btw. and had cereal. btw

uhh some lil deltarune scribs for myself. i drew qifrey like a ut/dr character too..
#deltarune tag#ch3+4 were really good. i was gonna draw more and better#but then i felt the Cursed Fool's Urge to look at others' fanart (?!) saw the main character misgendered etc & lost my train of enjoyment#this is why i Never Heed the Cursed Fool's Urge about things. i want to enjoy things the True way by my [Self]
