My favorite parallel in Sk8 the infinity is

Langa is an extremely closed person and doesn't show his emotions much. He looks zoned out most of the time and we didn't see him laugh throughout the show. But when he and reki made up, we see him do this:-

When you think abt it, Kauro has also been similar. He had always had a professional mask on and we didn't see him laugh either. Not until we witnessed Adam's downfall in episode 11, then we get to see this

over here, both kauro and langa let go of something. Langa finnaly lets out the words he couldn't express and kauro FINNALY completely lets go of Adam.

My interpretation of Adam's Eves

I'd like to start off with Tadashi, because it all comes back to him and I think it'd be a neat way to tie this analysis together. Growing up in an abusive household, Adam began to romanticize Tadashi and their shared hobby, skating. Both were his outlet for the stresses he faced at home, and for Adam, Eden was the escapism they shared together. He perceives Tadashi's decision to emotionally shut him out, reject skating, and attempt to stop him from skating, as eating the apple and leaving the garden of Eden. Adam perceives it as the ultimate betrayal without taking into account Tadashi's desire to protect him or the power dynamic at play. Not only has his family served the Shindos for generations, but Tadashi worked directly under his father. Tadashi, at the beginning of the show, does not see skating as paradise, but as the tempting apple that has corrupted Adam. So, in each of his partners, Adam tries to recreate 'Eve'. He wants a version of Tadashi that openly expresses the passion that exists under cold exterior. Around this time, he meets Cherry, who has a very different aesthetic and approach. Cherry is rebellious. He has long, pink hair, piercings, and is dying for something to care about, while still having some of the aloofness that is reminiscent of Tadashi. This works for a time, but in daily life, Cherry becomes more professional and conformist, and his skating style is nothing like Tadashi's. Whilst Tadashi's is an improvised dance, Cherry's is always planned. He is incapable of performing without it. Throw in Joe, and the fact they met well before Cherry and Adam, and there's a constant fear that they will abandon him for each other. Then there's Langa. Langa has Tadashi's aloof demeanor, but his passion for skating overcomes it every single time. He takes risks, openly shows his emotions while skating, and is willing to play along with Adam's eccentricity. Adam believes he has finally found 'the one' to replace Tadashi, someone else who has also experienced loss through Oliver's death and his loss of interest in snowboarding.

But Langa is not Tadashi. Langa is not willing to abandon his own interests just to be with Adam. He has friends he loves, a mother who cares for him, and a boyfriend who builds him skateboards. Adam is the equivalent of an adrenaline shot to him, but Adam as an individual? His caring only goes as far as compassion. Langa does not need escapism, and he rejects Adam for the same reason he can show his passion for skating more openly than Tadashi. Even if Langa had agreed to be with Adam, I think Adam would've grown bored and unsatisfied. We've seen how he cycles through various Eve's, hospitalizing half a dozen, and eventually he would find some nitpick about Langa. If I had to guess, it's the fact that outside of skating, Langa is a pretty normal guy with average tastes. He doesn't really care about putting on cool costumes, dancing, or doing anything else with the same restless energy. He just wants to eat poutine and spend time with his friends. He isn't like Tadashi, where repressed passion extends to every single part of his life. Because Tadashi genuinely enjoys Adam's theatrics. He is the only one to cooperate with and enjoy Adam's biblical analogy, even if the role he chooses is in direct opposition. When he decides to get Adam to stop skating, he doesn't share his secrets, he makes a spectacle at S and dances for him. Tadashi is so devoted to this man that he keeps working at Shindo manor, even if he can't express himself openly. I'd say someone free Tadashi, but I think he'd go right back. Adam treats him with such contempt because while he knows Tadashi loves him, he is unwilling to admit it or show it through skating.

Let's talk about Tadashi and Kaoru and the comparisons to Eve and Lilith!!

(+ a fic at the end that is slightly connected ??)

I don't really write Tadashi typically but i found that this felt like a perfect opportunity to create something surrounding him and Kaoru, as well as the different people and suggestions of "Eve" when it comes to Adam

But also the religious meaning of Lilith too

And I found this song on tiktok again and just decided to work with it

(More explanation under the video:)

Lilith/Kaoru:

Lilith, biblically was Adam's first wife

She refused to be subservient to him and after asserting equality with Adam fled and was banished from Eden (and Paradise in general)

She is known for the concept of lust, chaos and rebellion

She then turned into a demon or is highly regarded within demonology for this

This is why i designed Kaoru's secondary part of the video the have demonic wings and the piercing thorns surrounding parts of his body

In terms of Adam, Kaoru is not a full Lilith, given that he is still obsessive around Adam, he will use those around him to get what he wants and shows no mercy surrounding it

However he does show similar traits to Lilith in the form of his natural beauty (which Lilith was regarded to have a very beautiful form), the way he is also very hard-headed like Adam and hence refuses to be subservient but rather used to try and catch up to Adam or be his equal/above

Adam's reaction when Kaoru appears in the White Eden competition reminds me of the way Lilith is banned from Eden/Paradise and Adam probably believes that of Kaoru too, especially with how Kaoru doesn't fit in with the standard skaters being an AI skater, and the only one at that

Eve/Tadashi:

The comparison that many people (except for Adam's obliviousness/ignorance) make and is yet to be "tested" via races or beefs with Adam himself

Eve was created from Adam's rib, and following Lilith this was so that Eve would be much more submissive to him

Eve was the first to be tempted by the snake into eating the forbidden fruit and then shares this with Adam afterwards

For Tadashi, this fits really well to me especially due to the fact that he has grown up within the Shindo estate (somewhat similar to the rib idea) and raised to be a servant to the family

Tadashi also was tempted by the "snake" (in this case the concept of skating) and then introduced it to Adam

This is another reason why I involved the snake in the second half of the video as well as ivy which is not directly tied to Eve but can be associated with the idea of eternal life, immortality, fidelity and resurrection which are common themes biblically

Main images/other:

The image below is Kaoru as lilith and the inspiration image used alongside it

Shameless Self Promo:

If you enjoy anything like this, it probably doesn't apply to the work but my long fic (12k words, 5 Chapters) "Every Adam Needs An Eve" can be a little fitting to a corresponding idea or AU of:

"What if Kaoru ended up falling into Adam's trap and fully seeing himself as his eve" and well, the plot twists that then follow it (as well as Kojiro's side of the story when Kaoru gets lost to Adam's hypnotic personality)

Which is where i thought it was worth a mention here too‼️

In fact it was my first ever sk8 fic, so that's fun🙏

The cruelest twist of fate was that it was another sadistic game for Adam and it was everything to Cherry.

[weebsh-t]

Are there any fics where ADAM once considered Cherry his Eve? It's a massive fandom hc that they dated, and I think it'd be interesting to see Kaoru get swept up into his obsession like that, and possibly Joe having to get him out of it 🤷‍♂️
