This is true of the manga, but I love how the anime accentuates the absolute physical trust the apprentices have with Qifrey. Specifically with Agott, the way she is so ready when Qifrey says “hang on tight, I need my hands free” to cling to him a mile into the sky, and then in the latest episode, how, as soon as she impacts Qifrey while flying to him, she makes no move to save herself, she just curls into him and trusts that he will keep them from falling.

And I think it works as a signal to the audience, to subtly go “hey, I know we don’t trust Qifrey right now, he’s being shady, but we can always trust him to protect the physical wellbeing of his kids. Remember that.” Idk man maybe I’m getting too attached to a teeny detail but aaaaaaghhhh that’s her dad.

Iguin's relationship with Coco is very interesting to me

Something I love about Iguin is how they view and treat Coco specifically. Despite their supposedly violent nature and creepy demeanor, they are never actively cruel towards her. In fact, they're always uncharacteristically soft and gentle with her. Even when they set challenges and tests for Coco in order to make her use forbidden magic, they never command her or force her hand, only manipulate the situation to nudge her towards the direction they want her to follow.

And, even when Coco refuses to use unlawful means to escape the situations they put her in, they don't seem disappointed, but rather impressed by her ingenuity and creativity in finding alternative ways to use magic in her favor, as well as her fierce independence and resolve to make her own choices. If anything, those are all traits they seem to want to nurture in her.

They are also ever so patient with her and they seem more keen to observe her from a distance and allow her to naturally hone her skills than to rush her development. And that prospect seems to bring them more excitement than impatience. If anything, I'd say they're eager to watch her learn and grow, even slowly and gradually, and they seem to enjoy the process just as much as they anticipate the end result, just like a real teacher would.

Even the way they speak to her or about her reveals something akin to pride, or even fondness. They're like a proud mother watching their child grow up, it's almost endearing. It actually reminds me a lot of the way Qifrey talks to and about his students (clone theory real!). And even the way they hold her like she's something precious, something to protect and nurture, is almost motherly, even if in a more obsessive way, and it is also reminiscent of Qifrey's expressions of affection towards his students.

And I feel like if one acknowledges Qifrey's gentle and encouraging behavior towards his apprentices, one must also acknowledge Iguin's twisted version of those similar traits. For as much as people joke about Qifrey being paternal towards the girls, I don't think Iguin is all that different, with Coco at least.

Though, unlike Qifrey, I think this special treatment isn't something they give so lightly to just anyone. And that's what's the most interesting to me. The fact that they genuinely seem to believe in Coco's abilities and judgement and trust that she in particular, despite not being born in witch society and studying magic relatively late, will undoubtedly become a formidable witch one day.

And the interesting thing is that their investment in her happened mostly at random, at least as far as we know. It seems like they didn't have any specific reason to give her specifically the book. She might even be one of many children who received similar magic books by them, so I don't think they even knew that it would be her in particular that would become their child of hope back then.

But I do think that, somewhere down the line, while watching her progress closely, they became genuinely invested in her journey and maybe even in her as a person. Because, while this whole scheme is about some greater cause the brimhats are fighting for, something far bigger than a mere child, I think there came a point when their interest in her became more personal than not, even if they might only have considered her a convenient tool for them to use at first. And I think they genuinely see some great potential in her to be harnessed and explored, something beyond just mere hope for the future of witches.

And I think Iguin's genuine interest and hope for her say a lot about Coco as a person. I love how inspiring and impactful Coco generally is for the main characters and the antagonists alike. I love that both people who doubted her and people who believed in her from the start acknowledged her strength and skill eventually. Or that, despite being a young child without prior knowledge of magic, she uses her creativity and determination to make up for it to the point of leaving such a strong impression on everyone who meets her.

And yet all in a way that feels believable and realistic for a character of her age and situation. She can't help being a naturally inspiring and endearing character that makes nearly everyone, even the main antagonist, to want to root for her.

Ryo Relationship Timeline Headcanons

Because clearly, writing one emotionally-complicated, morally-ambiguous man with god-tier intellect and catastrophic attachment issues wasn’t enough… here’s another. This one comes with wings.

Initial Interference (Weeks 1–6)

You don’t fit the pattern. That’s the first thing he notices.

Not because you’re loud, but because you disrupt the order he depends on.

You respond too directly… Or not at all.

You don’t follow the cues that usually smooth human interaction.

He sees you in passing—maybe a station after dark, or a convenience store too late. Remnants of a crime scene police can’t explain.

Watches. Catalogs. Moves on.

But then it happens again. And again.

Coincidence, then repetition, then a quiet recalibration of his routine.

He tells himself it’s curiosity. A new variable.

But he’s already tracking you.

Calculated Entry (1–3 Months)

He starts positioning himself in your orbit—engineered encounters that look like coincidence.

When he speaks, it’s clinical, his attention fixed like a microscope slide.

He’s not seeking connection, just confirmation that you’re insignificant.

(He doesn’t admit he’s testing for the opposite.)

Intellectual Rapport (3–6 Months)

Conversations begin—morality, extinction, inevitability.

Questions without answers.

To measure what you know. What disturbs you. What doesn’t.

He never offers anything personal. If you ask, he pivots cleanly.

But when you challenge him, his interest sharpens.

Speaking to you becomes regulatory. A baseline.

He doesn’t call it affection. Not yet.

Attachment Through Control (6–10 Months)

He calls it strategy—monitoring a deviation.

But possession creeps in, disguised as logic.

He tracks your routines. Anticipates your needs.

Positions himself as your first option in any crisis.

Begins properly teaching you how to defend yourself—not for protection, but control extended into action.

It’s dependency, dressed up as support.

Emotional Recoil (10–12 Months)

Maybe you ask the wrong question.

Maybe you get hurt, and he feels something human before he can shut it down.

He vanishes. Withdraws like it was all a miscalculation.

If you stay, he comes back. Without apology, just quiet reentry.

Unspoken Return (1–2 Months After Recoil)

He doesn’t explain. Just reappears. Like absence was an error.

No more bracing when you’re near.

Sometimes you catch him watching. Not fondly, but like he’s trying to measure something finite.

Like he’s unsure whether he’s here to stay, or to witness you leave.

It isn’t love. Not yet.

It’s control. Strained and restructured just enough to mimic trust.

First Real Vulnerability (One Moment, Months 13–16)

It slips once. Unfiltered. A truth too bare to disguise.

He shuts down instantly, acts like it didn’t happen.

But it did.

After, he stops redirecting every question.

Starts answering you faster.

Sometimes he even says, “I don’t know” when he used to feign certainty.

A faultline forms.

He hates it.

But something starts to live there anyway.

A Relationship in All But Name (Months 16–24)

No declaration. No title.

But you’re the constant he keeps pulling into the center of his chaos.

He still disappears sometimes—drawn to dangerous pursuits only he can resolve.

But he always returns, as if being near you steadies the ground.

You’re not a spectator now. He moves, you move.

You keep up—because falling behind was never an option.

And that matters more than anything you’ve said.

Small permissions: your hand on his wrist, your shoulder against his.

Not comfort. It’s proof you can stand in the fire without burning.

He never names it. Never calls it love.

But he’s done pretending he doesn’t want you here—right in the heart of it all.

Post-Revelation Fracture (After Month 24)

When he remembers what he is, everything breaks.

He has to reckon with the truth that he fell in love while wearing the mask.

And now the mask is off.

Or did he love you?

Or is this some leftover echo of the human shell, the one who learned empathy secondhand?

Maybe it started as a manipulation.

A calculated bond meant to anchor him. Tame him.

But it grew wrong.

Warped into something unmanageable.

Now here he is, once more cast down.

Not for wrath alone.

But for holding something human too long and too close.

He could part seas for you, call down fire to keep you warm, set the stars in new constellations to spell your name.

But to belong to him now is to walk a marked path.

And Heaven would burn you for it.

So would Hell.

He lowers his head. His wings fold tight, like a bird tucking in its young.

A god, shrinking.

Trying to remember how it felt when you looked at him and only saw Ryo.

Because that’s what’s dying now.

If He Ever Says It (Much Later, If Ever)

He says it quietly, like he’s not sure if it matters anymore.

“I didn’t want to be alone.”

He’s not performing.

He isn’t trying to be understood.

It just… slips out.

He doesn’t say I love you at all.

But it’s there—in the way his voice breaks.

In the way he finally stops pretending he doesn’t care.

And then—the shift.

He blinks too fast. Breath catches.

The silence stretches too long.

And suddenly he’s speaking again, faster, harsher, like he’s trying to undo something already done:

“I didn’t mean for it to happen like this—”

“I thought if I just—”

“You don’t understand, I—”

His voice cracks.

He stops. Tries again.

But there’s nothing left to hide behind.

The sky has started to split.

He’d once imagined he would face it standing tall. Defiant.

Radiant with power and pride, unshaken in his rebellion.

Instead—

He is kneeling.

Next to you.

Hey! Just a reminder! AO3 does NOT have an app. This garbage was made by theives who steal fan artist’s work and sell it back to you.

“Oh, but it’s free!” There are ads. They are making money off of this. They are stealing from the creators you love and you are hurting those same creators if you use this app or any similar app.

Don’t use it. Report it at every opportunity.

PSA: Tumblr/Discord “Support Scam” (Almost Got Me)

I want to share this because I almost got my Tumblr account compromised today, and I know a lot of people might fall for the same thing.

Someone messaged me claiming they “reported my account for fraud, because they mistaken me as a scammer who scammed them” They would apologize and will say that my account was at risk of being permanently banned and that I needed to contact “Tumblr support” through Discord / external links to fix it.

They also:

- Sent screenshots saying my account was reported

- Claimed “support” already contacted them about me

- Told me to reset my password and change account details

- Sent me to a non-Tumblr domain (“support” site that was NOT tumblr.com)

At first it looked convincing because they used Tumblr branding and made everything sound urgent and official. But I realized something was off when they started pushing me to reset my password through their instructions instead of Tumblr itself.

I stopped, did a research, and found out this is a known phishing scam happening on Tumblr and Discord right now.

Here’s the important part:

Tumblr DOES NOT:

- Contact you through Discord

- Use random users as “support agents”

- Ask you to reset your password through external links

- Tell other users your report status

Everything official happens only on:

tumblr.com or emails ending in @tumblr.com

What they were trying to do was get me to:

→ panic

→ follow fake “support” instructions

→ give up account access

I didn’t click anything and I changed my password directly through Tumblr, so my account is safe.

But I just want to warn others: if someone tells you you’re being reported and you need “live support” outside Tumblr—do NOT trust it.

Always go directly to Tumblr yourself.

Stay safe everyone.
