I just want to thank you for providing the fandom with Great Hall Era Beldaruit, Qifrey, and Olruggio 🙂↕️ I had previously been thinking a lot about teenage Qifrey and Olruggio so to have a great artist making some content for it is awesome!
They are super cute and I love how pure and innocent their frienship is!
Qifrey's innocence about how social norms are is very dear to me, even if I did not have the opportunity to draw it. I love how he can be acting like a newborn and a child of his age at the same time. Plus he is upset about what happened to him, he is lost, without any reference, which is interesting to see. What happened to him was cruel and terrible, so him being upset is very understandable.
It is kind of sad (but understandable) that Beldaruit gave Qifrey a lot of freedom, as he was also learning how to take care of a lost kid. He was not well prepared, but did his best. And it worked out very well as Qifrey is a very loving person.
I love how Olly got close to this little lost and traumatised boy. I think it went purely from his kindness at first (and also because he is kind of an "outsider" himself and also traumatised too) but he also loves who Qifrey is. And he doesnt care about all the rumours or the fact that Qifrey doesn't know his past and his connection to the brimhats. Olly always has been a kind, patient and observant person. I wish we could have a flash back from Olly's point of view! I am sure both of those boys see the other as their most radiant star.
So I find this era very cute and angsty to draw. :) They can also be cute and angsty as adults tho!!
