UPDATE ON "I Will Always Love All The Sides of You I See."

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I've updated!

I hope you all have been well and are having a good day/night! These last few weeks/month have been the most eventful weeks I've ever experienced in my life with a few dental appointments to helping out with my classes musical item performance to the song Da La Bing Ba, I've had little time to actually post or write.

Eventually, when I finally did have time for myself, I realised that not only had my laptop (the only place where I store my drafts for new chapters and fics) had broken down, but I soon realised my phone had also died on me and wouldn't properly charge.

I've now repaired it (and am currently using it to make this post) and I've luckily managed to at least recover the draft for my Hamfura Katarina Council Fic and I'm now in the finishing phases of it.

You can expect a little sneak peak post around this week and could expect the full chapter to be posted up around next-ish week.

I apologise for long internet silence and hope to continue to share acceptable quality stories for you all.

As a fanfiction writer, I've noticed that one of the hardest things personally for me to pin down is an accurate guess regarding Hamefura's time period in relation to our world which makes it harder to decide certain aspects of a fic if it wants to get into world building (and have Katarina start and agricultural revolution). I've always appreciated the analysis work you do for Hamefura and was wondering if you had any guesses?

I would say there is no exact parallel to one of our time periods. Largely because there is a clear mix of concepts and aesthetics from older periods to later periods and even some modern ideas thrown in there.

That being said I think I found a decent enough match.

While Katarina (and many fans) describe it as a medieval setting, it is definitely not that. I would put the time period of Hamefura overall in the 18th and 19th centuries. 1700s & 1800s.

This is based off a few things.

Fashion

While not a clear comparison, the aesthetics of the different fashion trends of these two centuries are the closest to Hamefura’s own fashion styles - for the guys and gals.  

It’s not perfect

Some of the characters’ fashions are clearly just a general idea of “old-timey” fashion. And other characters’ fashion are more modern (or seem to be inspire by some later periods) – Alan, Maria, Sirius, Duchess Claes, and Katarina’s Merchant’s daughter outfit for example.

Alan’s style of clothing is extremely modern in concept.  So, it’s clearly a mix-and-match situation when it comes to fashion.

--

Books/Bookstores

Books are commonly and widely available. Not just for the rich, like Sophia and Katarina. We know this because there doesn’t seem to be much of an issue (or any) for Katarina’s maids and or Maria to gain access to books. As a maid in the Claes estate was the one who introduced romance novels to Katarina in the first place.

While again, not exact, the kind of reading and books we see in Hamefura works with 18th/19th century.  

Serialized fiction (and books in general) surged in popularity during Britain's Victorian era (1837-1901), due to a combination of the rise of literacy, technological advances in printing, and improved economics of distribution.

Also, while romance stories are far from anything new (have been around since stories) – the concept of marrying for love (despite social class) was an idea that was popular in fiction around the the time period – for example, being Pride and Prejudice (1813).

The book-stores we see in Hamefura (very briefly) are very similar to, well, modern book stores.

James Lackington (1746-1815) and his once-famous London bookshop, The Temple of the Muses, basically “invented” modern-day bookselling as we know it. During his time James completely revolutionized the concept of bookselling in the late 18th century. And considering the rise in books and literacy, other book-shops began to follow.

Sweets/Bake Shops

We know that high quality pastries/sweets can be bought at stores (students buy them for Student Council). 

I think this one is the least exact, as Patisseries have been around for some time, there is some parallel. 

 Marie-Antoine Carême (1784-1833) is considered to be one of the early practitioners of “modern Patisseries” (what we really see in Hamefura) and fine-dining, though he’s more known for Grande Cuisine.

His elaborate creations graced the windows of his Paris patisserie shop.

This is what we see in Hamefura.

So while the history is far from an exact match, the kind of stores that already existed and started to exist during this time are very similar from what the stores that we see in Hamefura, in regards to sweets

Love – Marriages of Love

In the 5th Light Novel, we learn that nobles falling in love and choosing to get married to one another (not arranged) is a concept that is becoming more and more popular. Particularly among the younger nobles around Katarina’s age.

As Katarina witnesses several couples being romantic to one another, who are not currently engaged to one another or not in arranged marriages.

The ideal of love as a primary reason for marriage began to spread in the late 18th century and early 19th century, partly due to the French and American revolutions - Enlightenment thinkers in this era promoted the right to personal happiness. And going back to books, this might be another reason p why love stories became so popular among the public as literacy and book technology grew in this time.

So, while Arrange marriages certainly exist in Hamefura (obviously) – the importance of love also matters.

Take Geordo and Katarina’s arranged marriage, for instance. Despite them being 8, the two of them made the match together. It wasn’t arranged by the King or Katarina’s parents in the traditional sense of an arranged marriage.

Sure, Luigi Claes set up a meeting with Geordo for Katarina (a match-making meeting) and we know there was pressure coming down on Geordo to get a fiancé (due to his older brothers being engaged), but still the decision was largely between Katarina and Geordo.

Geordo proposed and Katarina accepted.

Now on the other hand, while never stated. it seems likely Geordo had to get the King’s Approval before he proposed and Katarina’s parents also had to agree to the match. But again, their engagement is still rather unique, in that it wasn’t decided by their parents and they had no say in the matter at all.

Now on the other hand, the arranged marriage for Alan and Mary seems like it was largely set up by their parents, so the two of them have a much more traditional arrangement. Now that might just come down to Geordo being far more independent than Alan is, when it comes to his person affairs.

We we know Luigi Claes (from the novels) sent a letter to Geordo asking for him to meet with Katarina, while he probably also sent it to the king as well – we are never told that explicitly, so we can’t say for sure.

But to the main point, overall, the concept of marrying someone for love is clearly an idea that is growing in popularity in the world of Hamefura.

In Fortune Lover, Geordo wants to break off his engagement to Katarina when he falls in love with Maria. If Maria is successful in Alan’s route, Mary breaks of their engagement so the two can be together.

In the current timeline, Alan tries to break off the engagement with Mary, because he’s not in love with her.

Geordo, clearly wants Katarina to love him back and not just marry him because she has too.

Nicol’s parents want him (and Sophia) to fall in love and marry for love.  

Geordo, Alan, and Nicol in Fortune Lover were all able to end up with Maria with no problem, for the most part.  

Now, because there is a dual system of power and status (based on nobility and magic) – Maria being a Light Weilder and a powerful one at, automatically raises her profile to being more than an acceptable marriage partner for a noble (my belief).

So, the idea of being with someone for love is more common for Katarina and her peers than their parents’ generation.

Luigi and Miridiana’s father arranged the marriage between the two – Though Luigi did fall in love with her before the marriage, but because the marriage wasn’t decided by the two of them along nor did they have much of a relationship – their marriage suffered from a lot of miscommunication.

Dan and Radea(?) Ascart, the parents of Nicol and Sophia, married for love. Though we learn we learn in the 5th novel that Radea was already engaged to another man and Dan made a deal with her father – basically if he could become the prime minister, he would be allowed to marry her.

While not like modern times, marrying for love is a concept that is growing and becoming more of the norm in the world of Hamefura.

Technology

Due to the character of Larna Smith, technology (based on magic) in Hamefura is getting quite the revolution.

One of her inventions, using Wind Magic, is a phone.

Italian innovator Antonio Meucci is credited with inventing the first basic phone in 1849, while Alexander Graham was the first US Patent for the device in 1876.

-

Based on the comic in the 6th Light Novel, we know Nicol’s most treasure possession is a Fountain Pen his father gave him.

And given the fact that we see Katarina writing with a quill, the two types of writing utensils existing with one another was happening in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Now Fountain Pens, have a longer history than that. But basically, due to them not being the most stable or consistent way of writing, it seems like in Western Societies (Hamefura), that them being coming commonplace took over a period of time, as the technology improved bit by bit.

Nicol’s Fountain Pen seems to be an excellent one that works great. But we can assume that since Dan Ascart is an Earl and Prime Minister, he has more access to such technology than other people.

Conclusion

I was surprised that a lot of what we see in Hamefura, actually does match or more accurately fit within the general existence of these two centuries nicely. Not always an exact match, but the overall ideas and changes in the 18th and 19th century are a nice parallel to what we see in Hamefura.

It’s a broad span of time (around 200 years), but that’s my thinking.

In full disclosure, I did some light research on the matter – so I apologize for any historical mistakes (and grammar/spelling). 

To be clear, I don’t think Hamefura fitting in the 18th-19th centuries (particularly in Western Culture) was really intentional on the Author’s Part.

We see that the general style of dress in Hamefura, is popular amongst many manga/anime/Mahwha that have an aristocratic setting. And just a lot of general world-building in such stories, basically take a loose idea form these two time periods, rather than be historically based on them. 

And since Fortune Lover is a love game and Hamefura is a romantic-comedy, love would of course be of upmost importance despite the restricted aristocratic status. And falling in love despite said restrictions is definitely a more prevalent modern idea.

So, it’s all probably unintentional. I mean, they probably were inspired by the these two centuries, but more in a general idea of their story-world, rather than a specific time-period setting.  But still it’s a nice overall fit.

Also, the 18th-19th Century setting works rather nicely with your idea of Katarina starting an Agriculture Revolution.

 Thanks for the question Anon! I hope this helped you out!

((I am not the best artist, this my attempt)) the Sorcie's Royal Guard Crest is emblazed on the back of the Royal Guard's coats. Sometimes if the guard has magic, the emblem with be colored differently. Red = Fire, Blue = Water, Green = Wind, Leather Brown = Earth, Gold Yellow = Light, Black = No magic

Your “Nicol’s Lady” theory!!! You predicted it!!! Congratulations on your win!!!

THANK YOU AHAHA

It means so much to me that Fray's identity as the lady has been canonically confirmed by the anime. No words can describe the happiness and relief that I feel.

I know it's getting annoying that I shove my theory down people's throats so now that it's canon, you wont have to hear about it from me anymore haha qwq. I acknowledge that I may not even be the first one to think of that theory, especially since for Japanese fans Suzanna and Fray being sisters was obvious since they got to be introduced to Fray with her correct name, unlike western fans who got Fray Landoor instead. I keep parading around like it's *my theory* but I know some people could have figured it out without seeing my tumblr or reddit posts.

I acknowledge that the theory isn't necessarily mine, but I like to think that I’m the one who put it to the forefront qwq I never saw anyone else talk about it on reddit or tumblr except for me, and I can't speak for the japanese fandom, so I think I can take this as a W right??

Even if I'm not the first one who thought of this theory, it feels like it so I've been celebrating like it is. I know it's probably annoying to people who don't follow me or aren't in my circle of friends, but I don't care. This episode, this character and everything I've theorized about them for the past few months means a lot to me. I know it sounds cringey and dramatic that I'm going crazy over a character and a theory, but the hours i've spent writing and thinking about Nicol, Fray, Suzanna and Ginger are special and irreversible.

I’ve always suspected it (since I was obsessed with the extra web novel chapters that the light novels never adapted, wit, and when a friend brought it up again (hey Rosa :DD) and another friend got interested in the anonymous girl (hey Jade :DD) I felt like my suspicions held weight.

The Fray is Nicol's Lady and the Fray and Suzanna are sisters theory has a special place in my heart because of all the shenanigans i've gotten because of it. It's that kind of thing where I felt like I was just making forced connections because there wasn't a lot of evidences, but also they start to unravel and confirm itself over time.

Okay random but I just want to reminisce about the time when I originally wrote the essay for the theory, and I tried to post it on reddit but it kept being deleted by bots so me and some pals on the hamfura discord did like 30+ different tests all night (in my case) just to figure out what word I used that was getting my Fray Theory deleted (it was the word "join")(yes I was that desperate to get people to know about my theory). Or that time someone commented on my drawing on pixiv if I really believed that Fray was the lady from Volume 5 (and I said yes) and a few hours later they added a proper description for Fray in the japanese hamefura wiki that notes that she could be the lady. The things I do for this theory lmao.

I've spent so much of the night before the anime episode aired worrying about Fray's involvement, since she wasn't in the previews. Thankfully I woke up to a few discord @s and tumbr @s of people notifying me that my theory is correct (such as yourself), which makes me so happy!! To think that some of my followers thought of me and notified me when this episode aired makes me speechless!!

I have loved Fray and Ginger for so long, even though they only showed up in one (technically two now :)) light novel chapters and one web novel chapter, even when they didn't have a face. Now that so many people know of them and like them makes me so happy, I feel like Satoru Yamaguchi all of a sudden hahaha

Before I really felt like I was just jumping to conclusions and making forced connections, but now that it’s all being confirmed one by one, it feels cathartic.

And today's episode adapted LN5's A Lady for Nicol so well. It is undeniably one of the best episodes of the season, and in the series in general. To no one's surprise, the most beautiful episode goes to the most beautiful character lmao.

I was legit crying the entire time I watched the episode, and my sister was playing "Sweet Victory" the entire time to support me hahaha.

I still feel like Ginger got the short end of the stick, but like I said I'll take what I can get. Everything I've been waiting for, the Suzanna-Fray connection, The Lady confirmation, and an adaption of Ginger's webnovel chapter, were all in Season 2 Episode 8. This really is my favorite episode now, I can't calm down fsjdhfg this episode is everything to me.

This is the last time that I'll be able to fuss and gush about Fray and Ginger in this way, since everyone is aware of them now. They aren't my special snowflake anymore, and honestly I'm really happy about that. I want to see fanfics and fanarts with them as soon as possible, I love them that much. I'm crying.

Thank you for the ask :))

[masterhandss]

Hey! Just wanna say i love your artwork and all your analysis for hamfura ^^. Are you gonna read the yuri spinoff as well?

Thank you so much! I haven’t drawn a lot of hamefura because I’ve been pretty busy, but I’m glad you like them :DD I don’t if I want to call them “analysis”, but thanks for liking my hamefura text posts as well! I just really like talking about this series uwu there’s not much to talk about anymore though since it’ll probably take a few months before the next light novel update, and the novel that came out yesterday is something I don’t want to completely spoil for those who wants to read it themselves so I don’t know how much more I can say without it being too spoiler-y, but I’ll do my best to find things to talk about involving hamefura!

I’ll read the yuri spinoff once it gets a fan-translation, like everyone else would :)) I can’t wait for more hamefura content so hopefully it can come soon! Maybe I can find something to talk about when I read it.

Thank you for the ask!
