Continuing with the what if aladdin was found by abra au...

I'd imagine that when Aladdin was younger he looked a lot like Sheba, especially when he smiled. Lets just say that Abra didn't like this much, she probably reacted badly whenever he reminded her of Sheba so he learned keep a cold expression whenever around her.

Abra saw Aladdin as a chance to redem herself, to "save" Solomon, she basically doesn't see Aladdin, but instead another Solomon. Especially as he grew older and began to look more like him, she would give him clothes that looked like Solomon and basically project him on Aladdin.

I think that unlike Judar, who tbh was kinda crazy and such, Aladdin would be more cold, at least in front of Abra. I think he would still be kind, but his definition of good would be skewed.

Yeah that's all I have for now, I have a couple more ideas and I'm trying so see where I think Alibaba and Morgiana would be in this au. I'm thinking of Morgiana being one of Aladdin's kings but idk.

If anyone else has any other ideas let me know, its intresting to see!

Would you believe I have more thoughts on motherhood in Magi? I could wait for Mother's Day to come around again but where's the fun in that? This is the other idea I had along with the Scheherazade one.

This is a bit different lens. I want to talk about how Aladdin, Morgiana, Alibaba, and Hakuryuu react to Aum Madura trying to bewitch them and how that speaks to how they've processed not having a (good) mother.

First is Aladdin, who is the one to break out fastest. The kid never met met his mother. Don't get me wrong, I love Sheba to bits, but you can't really miss someone you never really had. He's like an adopted kid that was taken in early on and grew up in a decent environment. There is no empty void to be filled because it was filled up again since before he could remember. Ugo was avoidant and anxious to be close to Aladdin, but he was ultimately good at being there for his friends' kid.

However! Aladdin does have memories of Sheba through the rukh and Solomon's Wisdom. This is the second reason the magic ends up failing with Aladdin. He may not have met either of his parents, but he knows unquestionably that he was loved. He knows that Sheba gave everything up for him. On top of that, he is well aware that what she would have wanted for him is to live his best life, in his own way. Seeing an incarnation of her that tries to tempt him to give it all up and be a shielded little boy is the opposite of how Aladdin has come to understand his parents.

Next up is Morgiana. She's taken pretty hard at first through no fault of her own. Similar to Aladdin, she has no memories biological mother. When we see Morgiana's vision, there is no real discernable features to make out. The difference for the rest of the comparisons between them is stark. Morgiana grew up in a highly abusive environment as a slave and has no memories of what her mother was like. She could have been a wonderful mother... that Morgiana never got to meet to determine if that was the case.

She has a deep longing for a mother she never got to experience. Something to help the pain she felt all those years. The journey she is currently on is one searching for closure with going to the Dark Continent. Maybe there is a chance to find something she lost, so she could close the book and gain solace while moving forward. Morgiana is, unfortunately, one of the most vulnerable to Aum Madura. Someone seeking guidance in her life, someone who was abused and looking for comfort and answers. That active searching, and doing, is what gets Morgiana out of it. When Aladdin tells her to think of someone who passed on their wishes, she thinks of Goltas. The promise to return to her homeland and gain her closure, from her own actions and not a passing fleeting dream in a web of lies.

Alibaba gets hit pretty hard too. He's one of the two that has memories of his mother, and unlike with Hakuryuu, they are good memories. He lost her when he was young. He, Cassim, and Mariam were left on the streets alone fending for themselves at a too young age. He then met his father, and despite being the most powerful man in the land, he was the one that left them in that shit scenario. Alibaba has a hole in his heart different from Aladdin and Morgiana. He knows what he has lost. Not the idea or memory of his mother. His mother. He remembers the warm hugs, the care she gave him and her adopted children. Similar to Aladdin, he knows that what she would have wanted was for him to live to his best ability and that he is strong.

Then there is Hakuryuu. Every time I rewatch or read the story again, I wonder how obvious the Gyokuen reveal is. It does a good job on focusing Hakuryuu's grief on his brothers. Up until this point, he has avoided bringing her up at all. Morgiana, as someone who is good at reading the boy's reactions, at first thinks that his mother must have died too, and Hakuryuu has just avoided the subject. Looking back at it, I cannot go in blind. It just is so painfully obvious to me because I already know that Gyokuen is a piece of shit. I do not remember my first reaction to the episode, so I cannot say if it is only easy in hindsight.

Right, back on track. Hakuryuu, unlike anyone else, knows his mother and also despises her with a burning passion. He has dedicated his life to taking her down. He is a traumatized child ready to lash out. Because of all of this, Aum Madura's ploy backfires in the worst way. The problem with Hakuryuu is that he does not understand that people have different responses to an abusive authority figure. He knows his response is to defend himself and strike back. That is his reality. If someone hurts you then the answer is to refuse to work with them and fight back, obviously.

Hakuryuu is taken aback and a little ashamed when Morgiana tells him that she took orders under duress and for her own security. Sometimes people listen to others they may not trust or else are are forced to listen to. He does know this; Morgiana did tell him about his past as a slave. The kid needs the reality check though. His problem is Hakuryuu started to process his trauma but he's only at the point where he can acknowledge his circumstances and judges everyone else accordingly based what he would do. The pirate children who are causing a ruckus and risking their lives to protect an obvious abuser? Who would fall to that ploy? Morgiana and Alibaba remind him that sometimes kids are conditioned to listen to authority figures. (Alibaba because he loved his mother and will trust her judgment when doing stuff she asked. Morgiana from being forced to as a slave.) He's not immune from victim blaming the kids. It does not really go away when Orba confronts him later.

I don't really have a good conclusion to this. I do like my interpretation of it showing how their different maternal-related trauma manifests (either orphans or abuse). Magi comments (or at least Aum Madura does) that it's a sign the others have grown up and don't need a mother. I don't like that as much? Kids aren't suddenly adults because they've learned to be self-sufficient. It means they are tough and self-sufficient children and that's it. Hakuryuu being more caught up in his trauma, and thus does not meet that qualifications doesn't sit right with me even more. There are fucked up adults that still are dealing with their built up shit and his name is Sinbad. Needing parents or wanting to be dependent on them isn't immaturity. It doesn't really annoy me as much as this final note makes it seem, yet I might as well comment on the statement made within the story itself.

Thanks for reading.
