#sorry bonnie you would get cut from the alternian version bc troll children do Not hang out with troll adults

if ISAT was adapted for an alternian audience it would be marketed as a love-triangle-style pale romcom

isa is trying to confess flushed, but in the end he can't do it bc he's too concerned about sif being upset and wants to help them feel better... pale feelings sneaking up on him just bc that's what sif needs rn... and sif gets so frustrated that they also flip caliginous on him for a moment? vacillation city.

odile obviously thinks siffrin needs a good feelings jam but she can't figure out what it is he needs to jam about! and then once she does, siffrin freaks out about her pale overtures bc he can't be vulnerable like that right now and loops back.

mirabelle is the more subtle steady presence, instead of making it a whole thing she just. talks to them about how she's feeling, and they seem to reciprocate..? but she doesn't realize yet how much siffrin needs her to be the conciliating party.

sifloop are all over the map, as opposed to isafrin's flipping sifloop are just smearing quadrants left and right. but none of it is really working. loop hates siffrin too much to conciliate him, but pities him too much to be caliginous! but since they have the most info, they manage some pitch-tinted pale moments.

and then act 5 happens, and they all work together to conciliate siffrin down from his rampage!! how deviant and hedonistic!!!

but then mirabelle is the one who actually goes "hey bottling up all your feelings made you lose it, next time talk to me before it gets to that point?" so endgame is siffrin<>mirabelle. and now that siffrin is pacified they can settle into <3 with isabeau. and then obviously a relationship as volatile as sifloop needs a stabilizing influence so odile goes c3< with them, which is also a better fit for her harsher methods of conciliation. and at this point why not get every quadrant filled, maybe they go <3< with euphrasie after all those loops of building hatred but also building respect but also oh my god you were so close to helping but you fucked it up worse. yay serendipity!

obviously this is ignoring ISAT's themes of like. fuck labels, we just care about each other. but ofc an alternian adaptation would ignore those themes, teehee.
