l want a full version of that tiktok SO BAD.

Thank you for being the compassionate, responsible adult in our Hyunwoo’s life. Recommending therapy is literally the best thing you could have done after seeing a trauma-induced panic attack, and it shows you’re not just exploiting these boys for profit. (▰˘◡˘▰)

“Well, we can’t marry each other”
The fact you even thought of that is putting up red flags, dude. I have no issues with a brocon/siscon relationship, but if their relationship gets any more… intimate, I’m gonna have to dip.

You know what? I’m happy the brothers couldn’t condemn their fake sister. I’m happy that the years of growing up together didn’t mean nothing. I’m happy that their love wasn’t conditional on Amaryllis being the child of light, because it means their love for Ashtarte isn’t conditional on her being the child of light either.

Yes they messed up. Yes they don’t deserve Ashtarte’s forgiveness. Yes it’s not a satisfying end. But they had real love for a monster in human skin, and I think that counts for something.

I was so ready to chalk up the grey skin tones to some fantasy magic thing, but why is that cake and her dress all grey Are colors illegal or something

My hypothesis for why the FL’s alleged trauma responses (i.e. avoidance, low self-esteem, paranoia) are so annoying is that it’s not clear what triggers her. If the sister was present, we would get it because we know she’s evil. If the ducal family was still neglectful, we would get it because we know that’s bad.

But neither of those things are true at this current time, so the FL‘s flaws feel less because she was forced to be this way by external forces, and more because that’s her natural personality. That makes her less sympathetic and gives her less room to grow out of her flaws.

The story needs to quickly either bring in the sister or show what happened in the previous life that makes the ducal family so bad. As it is right now, the FL is paranoid about nothing.

If it turns out that older blonde lady is targeting Ayla because she wants to make Frede her boytoy, I am going to yurk.

Drawing hands is the worst, but it’s so obvious they just used rendered models and blended it out a lil.

If I didn’t know she was into the Ml, I would have assumed she was trying to humiliate him by forcing him to act as her servant. Someone who can’t take care of a shoe by herself shouldn’t be entrusted with a whole duchy anyways.

If Jeremy had chosen to keep it a total secret or only told Elijah, I would have lost it. As the new duke the emperor does not trust, it’s suicide to not try to prove your loyalty. I also would not have been able to handle the unnecessary drama of more secrets when Elijah already has enough on her plate to deal with. So thank God Jeremy did the actual smart thing here.
