I don't need other people's spells. I don't want them to contaminate mine.
Riliphin (リリフィン) - Tongari Boushi no Atelier - Episode 11
Did anyone notice that Qifrey and Riliphin- despite both being Beldaruit's apprentices- have different cloak and hat designs?
Obviously they do rn because Qifrey graduated + has his own atelier but I meant like, when he was younger yk? There's still some similarities between both of these outfits though don't get me wrong
-Edit: i forgot I was supposed to point out the similarities forgive me 💀
So essentially the green theme is carried through both of their outfits, and even to the girls too, abundantly at that. Tassel is pretty much the same except that there's also the square on rili. And the fact that if sewn together at the front and back, remove the gold hem and given the yellow tie, Riliphin's cloak would be the same as Qifrey-
...after 5 minutes writing this I came up to the realization that it's because BELDARUIT'S designed is also different during canon and the flashbacks of chapter 90
So maybe the real question is why?
Obviously it could just be because of his own health/ preferences changing overtime- or maybe he wasn't one of the wise back then? But that's unlikely and I just ran through ch36 again and there's no inference of that so no
They are so precious to me 🥹 the little blueberries
Do you think that Qifrey and Olruggio know about Riliphin's abuse and the scars he has on his arms? Richeh doesn't seem to know the extent of the abuse Riliphin was victim of, but maybe they discovered it when they reported it to the Knight Moralis.
And, since they were so quick to offer Richeh a second and better chance, welcoming her at the atelier, do you think Qifrey offered Riliphin to be his apprentice too? But Riliphin refused because of guilt? I can picture Qifrey and Olruggio proposing him to stay at the atelier with his sister in private, cause probably Riliphin didn't want to see Richeh right after they were saved from the abuse
This is my favorite scene ever in the whole manga by the way😭💖 Olruggio and Qifrey were so quick to help this unknown little girl who was crying desperately, I'd really love to see this scene in more depth
Also I wonder what happened to Richeh and Riliphin's old master, if he was just "fired" or arrested or if he got his memory wiped and sent to I don't remember the name, but that place where all the ex-witches who got their memory erased are sent

I have many MANY thoughts about Beldaruit and the way he interacts with all the children that fall under his care. His apprentices, his grand-apprentices and even just the children around the great hall, no matter who they are or wether they're actually his responsibility or not he is always so lovely to them.
He truly values them, their individuality and their perspectives and gives them a level of respect that i feel you never see given from adults to children and it is most certainly his greatest quality.
I could not think of a better role for him than that of The Wise in Teachings, and with his adoration of magic and loving care for children, I'd go as far to call him the father of witchhood itself.
I think he is so lovely:(((
