Got hit with the flare + cold combo right in time for finals week soooooo... Chronically Ill and Sick!Olruggio headcannons time!

Sick!Qifrey and Sick!Orufrey headcannons also on my page!

He procrastinates much of his work til its deadline, so if a flare hits at an inopportune time, he's stuck working through it. This often leaves him knocked on his back, the effects much worse than if he had simply rest

His deadlines don't allow for rest days, and especially not for rests that come from disability. Hes not supposed to look 'weak'. Hes associated strength with pushing through. The internalized ableism runs deep with this one

If anyone points out his symptoms, he'll insist he's fine. If they're pathogenic, he'll tell them to get away instead, saying that he doesn't want to get them ill.

He views illness as a personal weakness. He thinks if he was just better, he wouldn't ever feel that way.

He has many contraptions to help with illness. He refuses to use a single one on himself. He is stubborn to a fault, and thinks he should be 'better than that'.

When he gets to the point when he's knocked on his back from illness, he'll spend the whole time in a self loathing haze, getting back to work the moment he can move his drawing hand somewhat steadily again. Never taking a moment to rest over what is biologically demanded of him.

CHAPTER 93 SPOILERS

He's no stranger to pain, and will only take the occasional pain med if it starts to become too difficult to mask around his apprentices.

he's never attempted to reduce his baseline. The dull throb in the background helps ground him to reality— helps inhibit comfort. He would feel wrong without it.

if he's sick pathogenically, he won't hide it the same way. He hates unnecessary suffering, and would be the type to quarantine himself. However, living alone most of the time with so many apprentices, that tends to not be practical. He'll mask instead, which tends to work well enough.

Allowing himself to be cared for would be far too vulnerable, and therefore, far too dangerous.

He'll take better care of himself than one would expect: the vulnerability of being immobilized is more likely to cause the curse to take root then some basic self care.

He's always riding the line between sick enough and not too sick. Never letting himself fully recover; never letting himself fully succumb. It's a miserable state to maintain, but one that allows him to survive

CHAPTER 93 SPOILERS

Sick Qifrey

Olruggio models most of his contraptions after Qifrey's symptoms. He spends a lot of time observing the man— it is technically his job, after all.

Qifrey has never used a single one. They are too kind, too tailor made. Too sure to lull him into safety. Exactly what they were made to do. He feels imense guilt over this– every trinket is placed around his room as if it is used.

Olruggio thinks he just needs to be better. He always does. Qifrey wishes he could tell him the truth. 20 years of perfectly tailored gifts, and he can't use a single one.

Sick Olruggio

Trying to get Olruggio to rest when he has a deadline is just about impossible. So Qifrey will stick to what is in his hands— he'll bring Olly a warm meal, and tuck him in with a blanket when he falls asleep at his desk.

Qifrey will brew tea as well. He has quite the collection of different ingredients, and likes to make his own blends. It's difficult to take note of what Olruggio thinks of each; his reaction tends to lack both emotion and expression.

But with twenty years of thiss under his belt, Qifrey has Olly's favorite tea down to a a science. Olruggio himself doesn't even know what the tea includes, and he sure as hell is not going to ask.

Perhaps in another life, Olly would drape heated bands over Qifrey's aching joints. He'd lay him to rest on the couch, when he could still be near his apprentices.

Perhaps in that life, Qifrey would put use to each of Olly's contraptions. His fingers adorned with rings, each a symbol of Olruggio's unspoken care.

Perhaps, Olruggio would allow himself to be pulled away from his work. He'd lie on Qifrey's bed, complaining, and allow the other man to comb his fingers through his coarse hair.

It would still be uncomfortable for him at first— the vulnerability of the situation. He'd feel weak, feel wrong. But the safety would calm eventually; the oh-so-tired haze combined with the comforting scent of his best friend lulling him to sleep.

Qifrey would lay against Olruggio, adoring the moments where he let his guard down like this. He'd want to stay up just a little longer to enjoy the moment, but the softness of the moment would quickly bring sleep.

Olly would wake up first, feeling just a bit better with the rays of the sun, now held within Qifrey's embrace. He'd grumble about it, but no true anger would be held. He'd close his eyes once again, and allow himself to enjoy the embrace.

Just this once

CHAPTER 93 SPOILERS !!

Hanahaki!Olruggio x Cannon!Qifrey ...

one will always die. It's inevitable. If Olruggio confesses, Qifrey will die from the comfortableness. If he does not, he will die from the flowers. There is no happy ending.

Perhaps, if Olruggio's memory was wiped entirely, a clean slate, they could both survive. Olruggio with his love gone with his memories, Qifrey in a situation so much more uncomfortable then simply having Olruggio near him with a few memories lost.

That's may be the worst ending of all, more so than a death brought on by love.

Just got around to reading the new volume, and felt the urge to draw Luluci enjoying her flan!

Should I be studying for finals instead? Yeah. But this is more fun
