GAWD KISS ME I UNDERSTAND SO WELL （/TДT)/ !!!!
feels like Emilia choosing Raretis is just too pushed and not properly developed, and also because I feel like her choosing Raretis is like clinging to her past because Raretis was there practically the whole time during her life with Ophelia, (Who I love so so much god bless) and I know he was young and backstory reasons but cmon, he had an entire childhood to romance her.
While Cassios (My man!!! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧) Just feels way more compatible (in every single way that you have already mentioned). Match made in heaven, (As Ophelia is probably in heaven and was most definitely orchestrated by her) and as Ophelia said herself Raretis is the “Least disgusting” choice which is definitely true! He’s the least scheming one with a good personality!… as plain as it is…. But there’s something so well written about Ophelia choosing Cassios to be with Emilia.
As a pain as Ophelia was, she understands Emilia and LOVES her the most, I have no doubt that Ophelia would choose the suitor that makes her the happiest even when she no longer can.
Purple haired dude isn’t even an option idek why he’s on the cover lmaooooo
This is so unfair Raretis is literally the perfect 2nd ML, and Cassios relationship with Emilia is progressing so flawlessly （￣へ￣）
No fr you said it so well like how can I support Raretis when Emilia herself said my cavalier Cassius is here to take care of her…like ╥﹏╥ please pick him
its been way over a year since i last touched this webtoon, but i still find it bamboozling to know that raretis/laertes is the endgame?????
is cassio chopped liver or something??
nobodys touching ophelias level in regards to emilia. shes on a class of her own so im not gonna talk abt her further EXCEPT the fact that i firmly believe ophelia chose cassios family to sponsor emilia bc both she and cassio are kindred spirits/two peas in a pod. theyre both cruel, manipulative, brash, possessive, and jealous as hell. they might wield these traits in different ways and cassios active in politics so his actions bears more consequences, but at the core, i feel like ophelia understand theyre spiritually the same person, so she, whos bitter about letting go of emilia in death, basically just made sure emilia would still belong to 'her' thru cassio.
obviously emilia deserves a steady, calm person and a nourishing ending for herself. choosing a simple love with raretis might be a way for her to break the cycle of toxicity that has seeped into her through loving ophelia. the problem is just that: none of the dialogues, the art, or the established characterisation for each characters makes her and raretis believable!!!! they make sense, yes, but convincing????? maybe the artist and author are really into baiting ME personally cause??? theyre totally not selling emilia-raretis to me!!!
the foundation of emilia-raretis in this webtoon is often told through flashbacks or internal monologues of the two characters. sure, the same thing is done for emilia-ophelia, but raretis is alive and well while ophelias dead!!! emilia-raretis live only in the memory of their past and in their heads. compare that to emilia-cassio whose relationship in this webtoon unfolds a lot from one-one-one engagements. we see them converse, counter each other, argue, raise their voices, clever and subtle insults were thrown to and fro, they scheme together, they have hidden agendas involving each other, then theyre using each other and then they came to understand each other through their shortcomings DARN IT he crafted her a chic jewelry piece with poison-antidote stash bc he knows her and what kind of emergency kit she needs so well!!!! their interactions takes place in the webtoons real time, their relationship is alive, not because the story demands it. while raretis-emilia hinges on whatever was on the story's checklist, doesnt matter they have abysmal chemistry and little interaction to develop that, theyre just endgame, period, just another thing
to cross off the list.
for emilia, maybe its cruel for me to root for cassio for her, bc of my believe that cassio is ophelias proxy twin. it might be poetic for her to end up with someone she has once let go from her heart to make room for ophelia. BUT GOSH i wish they either tone it down with the cassio red herring or up raretis' game or something. maybe im delusional maybe im daft maybe im just stubborn or maybe its maybelline bro idk anymore
