Little Thieves: A Review

[ID: the Little Thieves book cover. It is predominately red, blue, and gold. /end ID.]

author: Margaret Owen

rating: 5 stars

in one sentence: Vanja, goddaughter of Death and Fortune, finds herself racing against the clock when she is cursed to become her greed and must find a way to reverse it--and stop the strange going-ons of the margrave.

general plot thing: it's a goose girl retelling about a girl who's taken the place of the princess, only to realize her greed will overtake her--she's been cursed to turn into jewels before the full moon rises in two weeks, and has to "give back what she's taken" in order to save herself.

emotional rambles:

holy shit. hooooooooooooly shit. this is my first epic fantasy of the year and GOD I MISSED THIS STUFF

its 500 pages long and i was never once bored. magic indeed

so this is a retelling of one of my favourite fairytales (the goose girl) and can I just say.... 10/10. not just abt that, but about everything ELSE. the emotions, the casual demisexual rep (main pair) & sapphic rep (other major characters), the worldbuilding, Vanja's internal struggles, the humour... god I love everything about this.

This book does deal with dark topics, and I'll put those under the cut.

Also, can I just say. "I'm not interested in men. Not that you ever asked." GO GISELE GOOOOO

& ragne... beloved <3

and EMERIC i love that man i want to Marry Him

and vanja.... she needs a hug so badly

also i want to kill the margrave whatshisname very much

In conclusion. read Little Theives

TWs: child abuse, child neglect, memory of attempted assault/rape, classism, attempted murder, murder, blood, some very mild body horror (?) sort of (in the climax).

Bastian’s Age (a mostly educated guess)

reposting this bc tumblr ate the last version.

Let’s get this bit out of the way first: I am way too invested in minor details and solving mysteries that literally no one asked to be solved.

This particular mystery is “how old is Bastian?” (with a side of “just how long has ESO been going for, again?”, and “just what did Martel Hallix do that resulted in the whole family basically being erased from existence to one degree or another?”)

So, starting with Martel Hallix, Bastian’s father. We know from the Meet the Character segment that he was fairly high ranking - my HC is that Martel was an advisor, but take it however you want. So, we know that, and we know that Emeric was personally ticked off at the Hallixes - you don’t destroy a family like that unless the grudge is personal.

This is where the minor details get weird/a little too involved.

1. If we take 2014 (the year ESO launched) as the start point of the game, 2E 582 (the year the Vestige appears in Tamriel, following their first misadventure in Tamriel), that puts the earliest Martel Hallix could have comitted treason at 2E 563, the year Emeric was crowned King of Daggerfall, following the Knathen Flu wiping out the Gardiner royal family (you can purchase the Gardiner family home in Daggerfall, and the loading screen will have this tidbit, fun fact).

2. Inalieth’s dialogue and letter, plus later reinforcement from Bastian, Eamonde, and Clairine, puts Bastian at a very young age when he was placed with the Silvelles (in a move that was supposed to be temporary, according to Inalieth). This puts him somewhere around the age of three or four, as he would still have needed a dedicated nanny at this age, instead of a tutor or governess, which he would have acquired at the age of six or so if we take the Bretons as an expy of medieval Europe.

2.5 Bastian says he was very young when his father was executed for treason, but looking at the ESO timeline on the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Project (UESP), it’s highly unlikely that Martel Hallix was executed just after Emeric was crowned king. The whole royal family and most of the Breton nobles just got wiped out in the Knathen Flu. Unless Martel was deliberately importing plague-bearing goods, he’s not being executed for treason right at this point. (Emeric also doesn’t seem like the type to secure his spot on the throne by having rivals executed for spite or other petty reasons.)

3. If, however, we move forward three years to 2E 566, we hit upon an important event in the Covenant’s timeline: Ranser’s Rebellion. Ranser, a bastard pretender to the throne of Shornhelm, is absolutely furious that Emeric rejected his daughter Rayelle in favor of Princess Maraya of Sentinel. A whole lot of shit goes down that ends with Ranser losing his head, Rayelle vanishing into the fabric of history, and the Covenant actually having an official start date.

4. Lore in-game for Ranser’s War states that multiple noble houses were forced to fight under Ranser’s banner, although it’s never actually stated how many of those noble houses in specific were actually in Rivenspire, and we only know of four by the time of the game, one of which is Montclair, who’s an entirely different set of problems. (See: The precursor to Harrowfiends.)

5. Now, following a war, there are a lot of executions. That’s what happens to the losing side if someone can’t prove they were coerced (yes, proof includes hefty bribes). Emeric states that, at one point, Ranser’s army made it to the gates of Wayrest. If my memory of the region is correct, there are quite a few border gates that would need to be opened from the Wayrest side of things to let an army like that through, especially if a certain batshit king wanted to save the siege equipment for Wayrest.

5.5 Congratulations, it’s now entirely possible that Martel Hallix fucked up big time by letting Ranser through at least one of those gates (under duress or not).

5.6 It’s entirely possible this is all going to get nuked by Zeni/Bethesda, but thus far the timeline supports me.)

Now then, back to our regularly scheduled conspiracy hunting.

If we take each expansion of ESO as a single year - ie, the first game took place over the course of a year, from Soulburst to assault on Coldharbour - that gives us seven years or so from ESO’s base game to Blackwood. This puts Blackwood at roughly 2E 589, seven years (give or take) after ESO’s launch.

If Bastian was three during Ranser’s War, he is now, as of Blackwood, roughly 26 years old, plus or minus a few years.

There you go. That’s what I’ve done with my week.

#bastian hallix #it's a mystery that no one asked me to solve #but i solved it anyways #and i'm going to use these details in every story that i'm never publishing

Some differences and similarities ( in physical appearance ) between Myth Cú and Fate Cú

So I know I like to joke about all of the Fate Cú Chulainn’s character design and their terrible fashion sense but, in all honesty, and surprisingly, they aren’t that far away from the truth in a couple aspects. Though in another ( and the most important from my point of view ) ones, they completely missed the point. But the only thing I’m 100% certain about is that here is that it’s practically impossible to come up with a character design that is faithful to the original because, for starters, Cú Chulainn’s appearance is never the same when he’s described and it’s not even a minor contradiction like saying he had one hair color in one story and another similar color in the next one, I’m talking about from going of ‘melancholic, dark, short, pale’ to ‘this freaking kid had 3 different hair colors! and also 7 bright, red dragon-like pupils! and also !!!!’ Listen, I love it.

Alright, so now that I mentioned how ??? was Cú, these are the constant characteristics that Myth Cú had and how Fate Cú is either a bit similar or if we were robbed.

Myth Cú was tiny! Extremely tiny! The tiniest tiny that ever tiny! Just a little hound, a Cúcuc, a little lad, a little deer... Like I joke you not, this guy was a smol and this is something Fate and a lot of other modern media that have their own Cú refuse to acknowledge, which I find incredibly terrible because, despite being depicted as the manly protagonist of the story, his appearance was that of a small, pretty, beardless boy. Yes, Cú has always been very anime. And this is important because his youthful, ‘unmanly’ appearance was the reason why Cú had to constantly prove himself as a capable warrior and something that caused conflict ( that end with murder -thank you, Cú, never change- ) in his tales. Also, this is probably why he was angry and throwing hands all the goddammed time, the guy was practically a chihuahua.

The only possible explanation I can think of why any of the Fate Cú is above the 1.80m is that he got so tired of being mocked for his short height is that, when given the opportunity, he decided to make himself appear at least one whole foot taller than what he actually was. Ritsuka vc: Weren’t you supposed to be a short guy? Cú Chulainn vc: NO! I’VE NEVER EVER BEEN SHORT IN MY LIFE! WHO’S THROWING THIS SLANDER-?!

Myth Cú was beautifulTM! Alright, so all the Fate Cú are very handsome ( uwuwuwu ) but handsome isn’t the same as beautiful and Fate doesn’t put much emphasis on how beautiful Cú actually was unlike the Myth version. So the thing is that Cú had this youthful, ethereal and somewhat feminine appearance and that he was beautifulTM. But just how beautifulTM was Cú? I already mentioned on other posts that he was so beautiful that the men of Ulster feared that he would ‘steal their wives and ruin their daughters’, but also was so beautiful that people would go *sighs dreamily* whenever he walked near them. He was so beautiful that one time when he put on a festive attire, the women were climbing on top the men because they also wanted to look at that limited edition Cú. He was so beautiful that a fomorian ( or pirate ) that had arrived to take a princess as his slave also looked at Cú and spontaneously decided that would take him as well ( but no worries, Cú murdered the guy a minute after ).

And this is when things get a little creepy! He was so beautiful that Uathach, Scathach’s daughter, was practically heavy-breathing outside his door while he slept. And he was so beautiful that staring at him too much could make you go mad and curse you so staring at the pretty boy wasn’t very wise. He got plenty of undesired attention which kind of lead him to his death tbh. So maybe... that wasn’t a good thing.

Myth Cú was an Eldritch Abomination! But Liri, wasn’t Cú Chulainn supposed to be beautifulTM? Yeah... listen, monster-fuckers are valid and deserve rights. So the thing is that Cú could do this very cool thing that was called the ríastrad, which was some kind of battle frenzy in which he went absolutely feral and killed everything in sight and he was very, very angry and his body temperature skyrocketed to the point where he could evaporate water when it came in contact with his skin, and he bleed and he SCREAMED and also his insides turned outside so it was a very fun thing.

Though I already mentioned at the start that in a couple cases that his not-ríastrad appearance isn’t consistent in the stories but in some of them he supposedly has dark hair and very odd and bright eyes. Fate kind of got that right. Fate Cú’s eyes are red, which isn’t technically wrong because it’s a bright color; and his hair is ‘naturally’ blue, which, again, not wrong because it’s a dark color. And while it’s far from the ( sometimes ) real Eldritch-like appearance of Myth Cú, it does serve the purpose of showing that Cú’s appearance wasn’t that of a human or natural. After all, he was a monster demigod! Also, bonus points for the sharp teeth and cute fang because honestly who doesn’t love them?

Myth Cú had... an interesting fashion sense? Listen, I don’t know how to word this but... uhh.... sometimes Myth dressed normally but other times he used plenty of layers of armor and clothing and sometimes 20+ shirts. Why? I suppose he wanted to look broader ( and less tiny ) ? The funny thing is that sometimes Emer helped him dress up so I can’t help it but assume that neither Emer or Cú knew what the fuck they were doing or how one is supposed to dress for a battle or what the hell is happening, someone save them. Proto Cú got that ‘too many layers of clothing’ thing right to a certain degree so kudos for him. And we all know of the neon Hawaiian shirt + leather pants combo and many other things and it’s exactly what Cú Chulainn would’ve wanted. So I’m pretty it wasn’t intentional but Fate kind of hit the target here.

But what about the blue spandex? Why does FSN Cú look like a stripper dipped in blue paint? Alright, so!!! Polybius and Diodorus Siculus pointed out that some celtic tribes preferred to fight naked as it gave them a boost of confidence, thought it gave them an advantage over the armored ( and therefore slower ) enemy, and it also was highly intimidating. The blue paint came from berries. Since Fate couldn’t make Cú walk around completely naked, blue spandex was the next closest thing? I kind of get it but Myth Cú would’ve rather use 20+ shirts.

And finally...

Myth Cú was super trans-coded! Which is kind of unrelated ( not really, this is of great importance and extremely valid ) to what I’ve been writing so far but my blog my rules and I love making reminders that I headcanon Cú Chulainn as trans. And... I think that this part is pretty self-explanatory with what I’ve been writing about Myth Cú’s physical appearance and how he had to constantly prove that he was man enoughTM in his stories? Other interesting parts of Myth Cú on this topic include: Being the only Ulster warrior that wasn’t affected by the curse that affected all Ulster men; people don’t recognize him nor believe he’s the real Cú Chulainn until he proves himself; having only one kid ( Connla ) despite being married and have plenty of lovers in a time when birth control wasn’t that effective and heroes tended to have many, many children; Medb comparing him to an adolescent girl; the manner in which some of his actions are described in his battle against Ferdiad, like when Cú was keening like a woman, which is intensely interesting because of the Irish tradition of keening women. Thank you very much.

#[ hc: got some minutes to spare? ]#/ long post #/ btw pls don't reblog my hcs!#/ sorry today isn't a day for writing replies ( once again ) but every day is a good day to talk about cu chulainn

How would you describe Aoife to be?

“More reckless and unapologetic than she would ever admit to be, a ruthless teacher and one of the strongest warriors I’ve ever met. I don’t think I have enough words to describe how beautiful was, but… I don’t know… as embarrassing as it sounds, I feel as if I was brat again when I think of her. I guess that you can’t help how the heart feels. Ah, so you can already imagine my surprise when a woman as amazing as she actually liked me back. And, yeah, we didn’t make the smartest of choices back then nor thought of consequences, but…” He paused. “I didn’t think things would end so badly between the two of us.”

/ Ooc: Tbh anon, Aoife The Handsome’s character varies a lot from tale to tale. From what I’ve read, she can be Scathach evil twin sister that Cú Chulainn fought to another female warrior from a rival tribe or greek princess that taught Cú more feats and were lovers with for the duration of his training. So far the similarities I’ve seen in all those Aoife are: ( 1 ) She’s got some beef with Scathach; ( 2 ) She and Cú had a son ( Connla ); ( 3 ) She laid 3 geasa on Connla to have her revenge on Cú for not returning and marrying Emer instead. The geasa were: He was not to turn back; to never refuse a challenge; to never tell his name.

#[ Anon ]#[ answered: i can do this all day ]#/ in one (older) version aoife and cu are very cute together and she makes him stays for 2 more years in the land of shadows and then she-#/ visits him a couple more times after he leaves. which adorable yoy (important to mention that emer doesn't exist in that version)
