Hollanov Fanfiction Binds: Duty of Care & Holding Patterns by boopboop

image

One set made as a trade and the other for me to keep.

image

Design wise, these are based specifically on a chapter in Duty of Care where Ilya tries to take the blame for breaking Pike’s vase.

This first fic is Ilya getting pieced back together through acts of love by everyone around him. Kintsugi fit thematically and I absolutely love the imagery. The layered HTV is meant to mimic the vase and gold repairs and the dust jacket.

For the second fic, Holding Patterns, I wanted to continue the broken vase theme from the first bind. Except for this time, instead of it (aka Ilya) being mended back together, it’s the final fracturing of Russia. The idea for the artwork comes from a chapter in “Duty of Care” when Ilya takes the Hollanders to Russia to visit the iconic Red Square in Moscow.

This fic made me cry. 😭 it was amazing. I loved it. But wow it’s gets you in the feels.

End-pages are hand marbled, and the photos don’t do justice. I used an iridescent white that makes them sparkle along with the gold paint. For the red pages, I had initially wanted to replace the gold with black, but unfortunately black paint still hates me. Despite that, I’m still very happy with the outcome.

Hand sewn endbands to continue the color theme.

i saw that people are being shitty to you on threads and just wanted to say i'm sorry, that's such bullshit! it's shitty both in the sense that you're sharing your writing for free on the internet and people should not be shitty to people giving them free cake, as well as being shitty in the craft sense. you are an incredible writer! the intricacy of your plotlines and the depth of your characterizations continually astound me. i'm very cautious about reading angst and early on i thought i might have to wait to read chernobog until it was finished, but it's so compelling i have just never been able to wait to read a new chapter! thank you for sharing your writing with us, and i hope you take all the time you need away from the internet to restore yourself 💜

Hi! You may have answered this before but I just started interacting with people again on tumblr! Are you okay if people bind your work? I’ve just started getting into bookbinding and your writing has been some of the most captivating works I’ve read recently. Would love to add to my bookshelf if that is okay with you! Thank you for sharing your writing with the world <3

That’s so kind of you to ask, thank you! And of course you’re more than welcome to!

Hi Boop! I’m d1rtyhands over on Ao3. Saying hi after staring into the middle distance with tears in my eyes after the most recent chapter 🫪

In light of the emotional devastation my comment is of the lighter sort.

I know we will find out and you won’t necessarily ~tell me~ but did Cliff and Sveta hookup or know each other in Boston?! I’ve been staring that tag DOWN since I started Chernobog.

I feel I owe everyone a hug after that!

You’re about to get a whole lot more of Sveta and Cliff, promise! I know that’s not really an answer…

Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College

For anyone unfamiliar with Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, the entire thesis is that traditional educational models promote oppression by removing students' agency in their own learning. Freire argues that currently education functions as a "banking model" - teachers are the holders of knowledge, and students are empty vessels, waiting to have that knowledge put into their heads like a piggy bank. This reinforces a passive attitude towards information, not seeking and understanding it on your own terms, but waiting for a "banker" to deposit it into your head.

Instead, Freire proposes that teachers and students act as co-creators of knowledge, where students become active participants in their own learning through questions and dialogue. Teachers are also open to changing their understanding of topics in the process of critical dialogue - the goal is not "student learns Fact A and memorizes it as presented," but instead the goal is the knowledge itself, discovered collaboratively by teacher and student, who are acting with empathy and respect towards each other. This also starts the process of the oppressed being able and empowered to question structures of power, take agency, and actively participate in the transformation of society.

So, the irony of writing an AI essay on critical pedagogy is actually insane; because it's essentially the extrapolated endpoint of Freire's arguments that our current educational system creates passive receptacles who not only can't think critically in an educational context, but also become the perfect citizens for a world that doesn't want us questioning structures of power, to view those in power as we viewed our teachers - deliverers of indisputable facts that must be memorized and regurgitated because they command it, and not co-creators of true understanding.
