After reading all Galwert works on AO3 I found most of shippers thought the gaudy decoration of their home is because of Atwert's taste, however I have a different ideaš¤ no mean denying anyone's headcanon but it just a direction of interpreting
You know in the WHA manga we are shown a couple of different examples of apprentice-masters outside of the main squad
And I have thoughts about Qifrey as a master that I will put under a cut for WHA manga spoilers bc I am including various manga panels
and while a few are good (hiehart and jujy for example)
ā¦a lot of them are just. Bad.
Euini and his master who calls him āuselessā
Richeh and her former master (ignore the spelling of her full name I am using the fan translation for easy screenshots lol)
Luluci and her master (who is straight punishing her for defending herself and her fellow apprentice from sexual predators)
And with so many examples that are not so great I was wondering why Qifrey is such a good master!!! And then I realized
Beldaruit is Qifreyās primary example of what it means to be a teacher. But there may have been some mixed signals here. Because he isnāt just a teacher to Qifrey. Heās first and foremost his dad.
Iāve seen people theorize that Beldaruit is the one that names him even, which would make sense. He calls him āboyā at first and Qifrey has no autobiographical memories to the point of not knowing what a birthday is
He straight up adopts Qifrey after finding him in the ground like a turnip. But Qifrey doesnāt have parents!! He has no personal experience with parents! He wouldnāt know the difference!
Other teachers donāt seem to have too much personal involvement with their apprentices. They care more about the fact the kid is learning than anything else, like their safety or happiness. In their defense, presumably these kids have parents slash adults who would fill that role and advocate for them, so that isnāt a role teachers would necessarily have to fulfill. Meanwhile Qifrey? He is out there worrying about his kids varying tastes in food, and their passions, and their dreams, and making sure theyāre safe, and is deeply deeply invested in each of them and supporting them and advocating for them
Just like Beldaruit doesnāt hesitate to defend Qifrey as a kid -
Qifrey wonāt hesitate to defend the girls
Beldaruit is his dad. His embarrassing dad. And they are family and they love each other.
Anyway Qifrey is 100% the girls dad and acts like their dad but would never in a million years see it that way because heās just being a āgood teacherā because no one thought to tell him that Beldaruit is also straight up his dad ā„ļø
I don't know what scenario from which this image would result (maybe they each damaged the spells on one of their shoes) or if this would even work (probably not), but I imagine it would go something like this:
Q: It's working!
O: Barely!!
