(some guy on the internet voice) it's so unrealistic and forced when women win fights against men in stories. of course, when a young boy defeats a huge man I'm cheering and screaming because it is so badass, and when a frail old man defeats a cocky young warrior I feel nothing but satisfaction. I love these power fantasies about easily dispatching people who underestimate you, a thing I desire despite the fact that I will likely never have the skill to achieve it in real life, but I'm pretty sure women don't have that same desire, and even if they do, they shouldn't get to see it in media. because it's so unrealistic, you see. I mean I'm smart enough to know I can't take down a big man in a fight but the women, you know, they'll get ideas. I could probably do it if I trained hard enough, but the women??? for some reason I can't see it happening, and who can say why that is.
I need you guys to walk with me and understand that Ilya and Shane's first fuck as a married couple takes place on the edge of Ilya's bed ("Our bed, Hollander, our marital bed--" "Jesus fucking Christ Ilya--") while Usher Yeah! plays at bone-melting volume from the backyard and guys from three different hockey teams yell the lyrics even louder. Shane realizes that Ilya is inadvertently thrusting to the beat and for one very brilliant second it is the hottest thing ever. The mood is genuinely almost ruined when the song switches to Sweet Caroline. Harris should never be allowed to DJ again.
"SWEET CAROLINE. BUM BUM BUM." - Eleven highly inebriated hockey players and David Hollander, who's having great memories of his own wedding where they played the same song.
"Good times never seemed so good..." - Ilya Rozanov, whisper-singing to himself and completely unaware of it as he rails his husband into next Tuesday.
"Why is this hot. Oh my god why is this hot." - Shane Hollander, who at the age of thirty is still discovering things about himself.
has this been done yet

The funniest part of A New Hope is that Luke Skywalker is a 19 year old who has not locked in yet and plays with toys and sleeps in his childhood bedroom at his aunt and uncle’s house and Leia Organa is a 19 year old with a mission to save the galaxy from fascism. Luke has never left his hometown, Leia just watched her planet be blown up. He’s peeved his uncle is asking him to do his chores, she’s imprisoned for resisting the government. You relate to them both but they’re on complete opposite sides of the 19 year old life stage spectrum.

I'm all for Ilya picking up Shane in a sexual scenario. H o w e v e r, I do believe Shane is the one picking Ilya up in any other context. Ilya fell asleep while they were watching tv? Shane is carrying him to bed. Ilya refusing to go somewhere and stomping his foot and being stubborn? Shane throws him over his shoulder and carries him kicking and screaming. Ilya hurt his ankle while they were playing football at the cottage? Shane is carrying him inside and coddling his ass (he's fine but he's acting like he just got shot).
Which is why myshane is the one carrying myilyushka into the house after their wedding with the Pike kids.
Modern Day Olruggio would eat exclusively Uncrustables (frozen pre-made pb&js for those out of the loop) and Ramen cups during commissions. Qifrey would try to feed him but sometimes thats all Olruggio had time for.
Adding onto this:
- Coco and the girls are all fosters.
- Qifrey fosters them and acts as a schooling option since he has his teaching license, but quit due to his chronic pain and worsening blindness (he feared that he would collapse in the middle of class)
- Olruggio is the Breadwinner as a commissioned engineer.
- Richeh plays Club Penguin and Meep City on her computer in her secret fort (its not so secret in a modern au).
- Tetia wants to be a fashion designer and holds mini runways once a month.
- Coco and Tartah often sneak around Nolnoa's shop, stealing from his candy tray.
- Agott wants to be a district superintendent/politician like her mom, but her real passion is in puppet shows.
Another thought:
- Iguin is Coco's shitty step-dad/mom's violent ex. Reason Coco is a foster and why her mom is the hospital. Qifrey is actively fighting this man because custody battles.
- Riliphin (or my trans queen Richenza) was fostered with Qifrey and Richeh for a while, but she wasn't getting better until they left her at Grandpa Beldaruit's for a night, then Grandpa just kidnapped/offered to take custody.
- Tetia comes from a huge family is in contact with a good chunk of the siblings they could find/who have custody of other siblings. (Based on my personal headcanon that tetia is a middle child with 12 siblings).
- The girls in age order would be: Tetia (12), Agott (11), Coco (10*), and Richeh (8).
*9 month difference so sometimes Agott and Coco are the same age.
- Euini pretends to be a wolf, and his foster mom Alaria has no clue what do with him other then pass him off to Richeh before they move away from the neighborhood.
- The kings of the peninsula are the city council and Dealrandy (deladandy? Idk man) is the mayor/ highly accomplished surgeon.
- The Three Wise ones are as follows: Beldaruit, school district superintendent; Vinanna, chief of police or game and fish warden; Lagrah, head of HR oooor local news anchor/reporter.
More modern au thougts:
- The Libarians are local politicians or bigger government people. The Arklaums operate on a toooooooon of bs and no one is fully sure how their family always has someone in a government position.
- one time, Qifrey tried something new (Korean ribs) for dinner, and the girls are always up to try something new so its normal. It was so bad that the girls refer to it as "remember that time you tried to make Korean ribs. Those were so good," and Qif dies in embrassment every time.

I’m obsessed with the idea of Shane figuring out he can use his big beautiful doe eyes to get anything he wants.
He just widens his eyes, makes them a bit glassy and Ilya folds like a damn chair.
After a while Ilya figures out what he’s doing and screws his eyes shut to avoid looking at Shane.
Ilya: no Shane no I know what you’re doing, put your eyes away. You will not use your wicked spells on me today
Shane: Ilya will you just look at me please
Ilya always ends up looking at Shane because he can’t resist him and Shane gets his way every single darn time.

Qifrey's glasses having the same diamond shape on the bridge as Beldaruit's ring means so much to me
I just know, after raising Shane all these years, Yuna is very in tune with the likes and dislikes of her family and always likes to pick things up when she’s out.
A blanket on sale that she knows is a texture Shane will like, sesame mochi — the only dessert Shane will eat — David’s favourite brand of chocolate covered almonds (Meiji, obviously).
And when Ilya joins their family it takes a while, but Yuna notices that he always reaches for the dried mangoes when there’s a bag open, and he eats the Miss Vickies sweet and spicy ketchup chips by the handful.
So it makes sense to her that she would pick these things up when she sees them at the store and make sure her pantry is stocked for all her boys.
Ilya only finds out when they’re over at his parents on a movie night, and Shane, rummaging around the pantry for snacks groans “at this point, you have more of Ilya’s stuff than you do mine,”
“My stuff?” He asks, completely befuddled.
“Yeah, like the ketchup chips and the dried mangoes. Your snacks take up the whole pantry.”
“My snacks,” Ilya says again flatly, still not understanding. “But you all eat these.”
“I mean sure,” Shane agrees, “but my mom buys them for you. Because you like them.”
“This is true?” Ilya turns to Yuna with wide eyes.
And Yuna smiles softly at him, maybe a little sheepishly at being called out so blatantly, and shrugs.
“I mean, yes, honey. I thought you liked those snacks?”
And Ilya gets all teary and reassures her that he loves these snacks. He’s obsessed with these snacks. They are his favourite snacks.
And he starts noticing how anytime he shows interest in something, it will start showing up regularly at the Hollander household—snacks, candy, that specific Japanese soda Ilya likes with the marble.
It becomes a running joke between them that Yuna pays more attention to what Ilya likes than what Shane does (not true but the joke makes them both pleased and sappy).
I do think Tartah and Custas's story is that of children being denied further education due to ableism and classism and therefore they'll rise against it, I really need people to lock in & see these two outside of their relation to Coco. Not that Coco isn't an important presence to Custas & Tartah, but moreso lots of fans only boil the boys down to Tartah having/had a one-sided crush for Coco and Custas is that one boy she took pity on & wanted to help (some even blame Custas of being 'ungreatful' to Coco smh). I like TarCo in the sense that it's the heteronormative route they were 'supposed' to take but ultimately didn't, imo it's a normal experience of being a bi/pan kid exploring themselves. On reread, I noticed a lot of queer subtexts from Tartah and Custas. It might just be bc Custas spent more time w Tartah than w Coco, but I like to read him being more hung up on Tartah as him maybe already having a crush on Tartah back then haha. Like, the panel where Custas on the sealchair ran to headbutt Tartah bc he thought Tartah stopped visitting him was so cute & Tartah's always so gentle w Custas too gosh I just know the CusTah stock will skyrocket in future arcs
It's not an issue of people viewing Tartah and Coustas's characters through the lens of their relationship with Coco, but it's that they expect those two to be undoubtedly loyal to Coco.
Coco plays a significant role in both coustas and Tartah's character. She is our introduction to coustas and Tartah. It's reasonable that a lot of the fan perception of those two comes from Coco's own experiences with Coustas and Tartah because our first impressions of them come from Coco herself. The friendship that Coco develops with Tartah and Coustas further allows us to see those two through her perspective. It allows us to see how Coco relates to these two, how similar or different their experiences are, and the role society plays in the positions they are all in. These 3 are all outsiders in one way shape or form, and while that leads to them bonding, their reactions to the discrimination they face and how they grapple with societal oppression create fractures in their relationship.
Coco, Tartah, and Coustas have all been failed by witch society and suffered from the witches code. However, their suffering is not the same, and the manga makes sure to highlight this clearly through the tense interactions that this trio has. Being an 'outsider' (coco) , having an invisible disability (Tartah), and being both an 'outsider' and having a visible disability (Coustas) are all very different experiences.
There are layers to the systematic injustices that these characters face. As a result, they all bear widely different reactions that lead them to the places they are. All the characters share a theme of being prohibited from education, and this leads to tragedy. Magic isn't a hard tool to master if the resources are available: ink, knowledge of spells, and paper. Anyone can do magic, but the societal frameworks limit this to only a certain kind of people. This limitation results in tragedy for Coco, who loses her mother because she was unaware of the dangers of the spell she cast. While Tartah was born into witch society, he was still unable to learn magic because of how unaccomadating witch society is. In this case, abelism directly forbid Tartah from progressing as a witch even though he had the talent and desire to be one. On the other hand, Coustas's is limited from accessing both magic and rudimentary education due to classism. It's a cruel fate that coustas is aware of and expresses his anger towards in his conversation with Tartah and Coco. Without access to education, all of these characters are significantly hindered. If Coco had access to magical education, then her mother would still be here. She would be able to help her mother even more at their shop. If Tartah had access to magical education, then he could further aid Nolnoa. He could master his craft and learn so much more like the sourcing of ink and the silvertree present at the starry sword. If coustas had access to an education, then he and Dagda wouldn't be so dependent on being minstrels. If coustas had an education, then he would be able to take on less risky jobs. It's classism, which resulted in Dagda's severe injury and later on death.
Coustas's rage and anger against society and inequalities present is refreshing to see. The fact that the author doesn't dismiss his rage or try to demonise it is again very refreshing for me because I have gotten used to narratives that do. I love the consideration taken when it comes to the depictions of Coustas's perspective. While he and Coco share very obvious parallels, it's ironically what they have in life that separates them. Picking up the pen for Coustas came from a place of necessity, a desire to rid himself and Dagda of their horrible fates granted to them by an unjust system.
Coustas, Tartah, and Coco are all friends who found the joy and wonders of magic through one another, with Coco being the one to present said joys to Coustas and Tartah. It's important to note that Coustas and Tartah play active roles in Coco's journey as a witch: Tartah gives Coco her own customised pen and Coustas's branch is used by Coco to complete her spell in chapter 87. Coustas and Tartah become active ideological contrasts to Coco. Coco's trauma from being a victim to forbidden magic, as well as watching others she knows fall victim to it makes her more willing to adapt witch society's customs. Her not telling Coustas about magic or the small child about magic or her calling Tartah out for the study of medicine and magic as well as ruling out any forbidden spell as something to never be done is evidence of that. However, both Tartah and coustas bring up valid points. Magic is simply a tool to be used by the people. It isn't inherently evil, and what spell is performed can both harm or aid people. Coustas's talk with Coco highlights this quite well. Personally, I believe that Coustas and Tartah have valid points, and I am interested to see how Coco's beliefs are challenged later on.
On a different note, I love how you can see how all these three characters challenge and alter eachothers world views, specifically Coustas and Tartah. Coustas's worldview is changed by Tartah, who helped teach him letters and medicine. Tartah's worldview is altered by Coustas, who helped him see and understand just how inaccessible society is for those in need of motor aids. The knowledge about the silvertree changes how Tartah viewed the silvertree at the starry sword, and it altered Coustas's life as he became a vessel of it.
There is a lot of queer subtext between Tartah and Coustas. From the parallels, they have to other coded relationships orufrey and Arcko to the uncanny similarities between Coustas and Coco and what it means for Tartah to choose to leave everything behind and join Coustas. There's also a lot to be unpacked with Coustas's anger being directed towards Tartah, how betrayed he felt by him, how some of his anger mellowed out after learning that Tartah's study of medicine was a violation of the witches code and for Coustas's sake. I hope we get to see more of them soon!!! And I know the fandom will thrive when we get their interactions animated! Those two have so much angst potential, I fear. Tartah can't lie to Coustas and if Coustas ever gets too relaxed with Tartah then he just turns into a tree.
manga spoilers ahead!
the fun thing about these early chapter adaptations is that you're keenly reminded shirahama has been holding you hostage with checkhov's gun this entire time

they’re so cute. if qifrey ever finds out tartah’s distrust in him is one of the main reasons he ended up with the brimmed caps he’d never recover i think
Just thinking about how Tartah wanted a mentor who would help Coustas and how Qifrey appears on the same page. I am thinking about how Qifrey played a role in Tartah's mistrust of adults but how he desperately wanted to help and act as a comforting and trusting figure. If Tartah reached out, would he and Coco get the same information? Don't you think its ironic that Tartah wanted a master who would help Coustas and how it was Qifrey's knowledge, which he gave Coco that was used to aid Coustas?
I always thought it was weird that ATLA set up this philosophy of “all the elements are equal and amoral and benders will use their craft for good or evil” but then chucked it straight out the window when it came to the topic of bloodbending.
A power that creates fear and pain and only seems to be used for destruction? I can’t think of anyone who would know what that feels like.
Katara should have used bloodbending to strengthen her skills as a healer. That seems like the most obvious solution and fits with her character. This is a skill she learned from a SWT bender and although that bender used it for evil, she will use it for good.
