[midnightechoes]

So this week is going to go down as maybe the most sapphic week in animation history. It’s going to have a great case, there are so many sapphic shows or shows with prominent sapphic couples airing this week.

Don’t know what I’m talking about? Here’s a quick rundown:

Yuri Is My Job!

Premiering on Crunchyroll on April 6th.

Yuri is My Job! is based on a yuri manga of the same name. It follows high schooler Hime, who cares deeply about her image as sweet and helpful, even though she’s actually selfish. She accidentally injures the manager of a cafe, and agrees to work there to make up for it. But this is no ordinary cafe, it’s like a cafe dinner theater where all the waitresses play characters from a fictional high school and act out skits for the patrons. Hime’s character is supposed to be in love with one of the other waitresses’ character, but she starts actually falling for the girl. Only problem is, behind the scenes the other waitress seems to hate her.

Yeah, that sounds kind of bonkers! I can already see the story now, Hime starting out playing a role, and eventually having to legitimately earn the love of Mitsuki.

Birdie Wing: Golf Girls’ Story

Season 2 premiering on Crunchyroll on Friday, April 7th

Ah Birdie Wing. If you saw season one, you know just how delightful wacky this show is. It follows the stories of Eve, a golfer that plays in illegal underground golf matches for the mob, and Aoi, a golf prodigy and the new sensation of the golf world. Their lives crash into each other and the chemistry is overwhelming and immediate.

Technically Eve and Aoi aren’t canon as of the end of s1, but it’s hard to imagine that the show isn’t heading in that direction. It makes no effort to hide the fact that these two are into each other.

I’m so excited to see what season 2 has in store for these two. Birdie Wing is just a delightfully weird little show.

Princess Principal: Crown Handler Chapter 3

Premieres in theaters in Japan on Friday, April 7th

Alright, so this won’t be useful to a lot of people reading this, as this is only premiering in Japan this weekend. But I wanted to mention it because (a) it’ll come over to the US sometime this year, and (b) Princess Principal is awesome and I want to promote it when I can.

Princess Principal was a 12 episode series that aired in 2017, and Crown Handler is a six-part sequel OVA series.

In a nutshell, Princess Principal is a steampunk spy thriller set in an alternate universe European kingdom that has been divided by a wall, Berlin-style. It follows a team of spies, masquerading as high school girls, as they try to prevent the two sides from going to war.

I know, “why is this on a list of gay shit?” Well, because it is. Two of the main characters, Ange and Princess Charlotte, are big-time into each other and while the original series does the anime thing of “we’re only allowed to go so far with this”, the OG series has a lot of intimate scenes between the two and does end *SPOILERS* with the two of them sitting on the beach together while holding hands.

And perhaps Crown Handler, being made years later, can finally take their relationship farther.

RWBY Volume 9

Volume 9 episode 8 airing on Crunchyroll on Saturday, April 8th

RWBY has been ongoing, and the current volume has been airing since February, but there’ll be another episode this Saturday. Right now RWBY is in the middle of dealing with a lot of trauma, BUT, the bees are canon and dating so every episode of RWBY is now officially gay. So says me.

The Owl House: Watching and Dreaming

 Series finale airing on the Disney Channel on Saturday, April 8th

I’M NOT READY TO LOSE THIS SHOW! 😭

*ahem* The third and final season 3 special airs on Saturday, and promises to be mega emotional and super gay.

I’m grateful that this show had a chance to finish its story, something a lot of sapphic media doesn’t get to do. But I am still pissed about it getting cancelled in the first place simply because it didn’t fit their “brand” (read: this show is too gay for Disney).

But I just know that Dana and her team put together a sensational finale.

Mobile Suit Gundam: the Witch From Mercury

Season 2 premiering on Crunchyroll on Sunday, April 9th.

Affectionately called G-Witch, season 1 of this show was a revelation in the fall. It follows the story of Suletta Mercury, precious cinnamon roll and the most talented mobile suit pilot around, and Miorine Rembran, daughter of the president of the Benerit Group, a mega-corporation that has massive political power.

The show revolves around a school that’s mostly full of the children of powerful people. And then there’s Suletta, a nobody that just wants to be a normal girl and have a normal school life but through a series of events ends up in a mobile suit duel that she easily wins, earning her the title of Holder, which makes her Miroine’s groom.

At first, the two treat the arrangement as a business arrangement, both seeing practical value in this arranged engagement. But it’s obvious that Miorine is actually pretty into Suletta from the start, and we see Suletta slowly falling for Miorine too.

G-Witch is incredible. Part awesome mecha fights, part political intrigue, part romance between two useless girls who’d rather die that admit their actual feelings.

I am SO EXCITED for season 2!

LGBTQ media hasn’t had it great as of late, with a ton of frustrating cancellations and it almost feeling like Hollywood is going backwards in terms of its commitment to giving us space to tell our stories.

But animation, both in the US and in Japan, seems to be making great strides, being our light in the dark.

All five of these shows are airing episodes this week, and Crown Handler will be in theaters this week and on streaming/blu-ray later this year. RWBY has been airing for weeks and its been the gayest volume yet. the Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady just finished airing and was wonderfully sapphic. I’m In Love With the Villainess is scheduled to air sometimes this year. And just maybe we might get Arcane season 2 before the end of the year.

I’m excited for how sapphic and yuri animation is progressing, I hope it keeps going forward.

Princess Galatea Cypress, Lady Whitemarch

“Legend of the Cryptids - Caella reg.” © Applibot Inc, accessed at the artist’s gallery here

[The yang to General Abdalla Aulorian’s yin, this character is definitely @strawberry-crocodile​‘s darling, the main NPC in the one-on-one Pathfinder game she’s running for me. The stats and flavor-text have been written with her approval. I find it delightful how we both brought a lawful evil, deeply resentful, character to the table, but they both have very different approaches and personalities despite that. Like Abdalla, I do intend to have more stat blocks of Galatea in the future, but she has changed less so far in the game.]

Galatea Cypress CR 12 LE Humanoid (human) This woman is statuesque, with blond hair reaching down to her waist and piercing indigo eyes. She is beautiful and youthful, but her face is as hard as the sword on her hip.

To Galatea Cypress, to love something is to control it. Her father, who doted on her and followed her whims until a runaway wife soured his mood. Her brother, who can be guided and manipulated like a dog. Her servants, who follow her orders on threat of punishment. And most of all, her wonderful toys, glimmering porcelain automata that obey her to the word. And anyone and anything she cannot control? Well, they can be discarded or destroyed.

Although Galatea is a skilled duelist, she typically fights with her rapier only to toy with an opponent or to put something out of her misery. She’s used to getting her hands dirty; in a fit of pique when she was fourteen, she stabbed her father’s prized stallion to death. Still, she prefers to stay in the back ranks, using spells to debilitate and distract enemies until she can finish them off, or one of her allies can do it for her. Galatea’s most treasured minions are her squad of porcelain soldiers and her right hand monster, the sahkil Baetrachulltchum (but call her Betty). Galatea would not hesitate for a second to sacrifice any or all of her followers in order to save her own life.

Galatea is the eldest daughter of one of the most powerful families in the Whitemarch province of Taldor, giving her the titles of Princess and Lady Whitemarch. Because of her gender and the Taldan legal code, she has no claim to her family estate, and has always felt deeply bitter towards her younger brother. She currently schemes for ways to usurp the power of her house, or at least redirect its wealth and prestige to supporting her projects alone. She is terrified of death because she has a sickening certainty about where her soul will go when she dies. As such, she is experimenting with combining construct and living creatures, with the ultimate goal of living forever in a magnificent porcelain body. Most of her humanoid testees/victims have not survived her ministrations, but rumors of a captured Chelish officer, a tiefling woman who survived a great fall with only a shattered ankle, have given her the idea for her next experimental subject.

Porcelain Construct (Simple Template) Galatea’s favorite medium for crafting constructs is porcelain. These creatures are beautiful and easy to control, but are somewhat more fragile than the average construct. “Porcelain construct” is a simple template that can be added to any creature with the clockwork subtype. A porcelain construct loses its vulnerability to electricity, and does not need to be wound. It gains vulnerability to sonic damage, and is treated as a crystalline creature for the purposes of shatter, shout and similar spells and effects. A porcelain construct uses the Craft (ceramics) skill instead of the Craft (clockwork) skill, but otherwise has the same cost and construction requirements.

THE PRINCESS WEI YANG - 171 PART 1

CHAPTER 171: Spilt Water Cannot Be Recovered

After Tuoba Zhen's defeat, the direction of the court began to shift towards Tuoba Yu again. Countless courtiers rushed to send him gifts, fearing that they would not be able to build a connection with the future emperor in time. Tuoba Yu was happy in his heart, but his face was indifferent. In his opinion, where he was today was all due to his own efforts. In fact, it had nothing to do with these ministers who were following the tide. However, one person is an exception. Therefore, he specially set up a banquet in Wangjiang Tower to entertain Prime Minister Li and his daughter.

In the luxuriously furnished private room, Li Xiaoran said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, you don't have to be so polite. It's my blessing to be able to serve you."

Tuoba Yu smiled slightly. This old fox sat on the mountain and watched tigers fight from beginning to end. On the surface, he showed kindness to him, but privately he never wanted to get involved in any dispute, for fear of being implicated. If not for Li Wei Yang's sake, Tuoba Yu wouldn't even look at him twice. "Prime Minister Li, you're welcome. Father's imperial edict has not yet been issued, and I am not the crown prince yet."

"What is His Highness saying? Who doesn't know this is a sure thing now! Right, Wei Yang?" Li Xiaoran said, looking at Li Wei Yang with a smile.

Li Wei Yang held the wine glass in her hand and just smiled lightly, noncommittally.

Tuoba Yu looked at Li Wei Yang. His affection was hidden under the dark pool of his eyes, but their faint light seemed to have a deep meaning.

"Why are you so absent-minded? His Highness is personally inviting you to a banquet, this is a rare opportunity." Li Xiaoran was displeased, and his tone was full of reproach for not being able to appreciate the kindness shown to her.

Li Wei Yang's black eyes stared at Tuoba Yu for a moment, and said with a smile but not a smile: "Do you mind, Your Highness?"

"Of course I don't mind. I believe that the princess will always be on my side." Tuoba Yu said with a smile.

Li Xiaoran saw that there seemed to be a strange emotion flowing between the two of them, and couldn't help but sigh, thinking that this was really a bad fate. If Li Wei Yang had been willing to give in and marry Tuoyu Yu according to his words, then now, let alone a little princess, she would have the status of an empress. If Li Wei Yang becomes the empress, the Li family will also prosper. Although it is now the home of the prime minister, it is still far away from other powerful ministers. He was unwilling to give in. It would be great if he could go one step further!

There's still a chance! Li Chang Le was ruined, Li Minzhi was still a child, and all hope of revitalizing the family lay with Li Wei Yang. She made a wrong step in the past. She was too young and ignorant. Now everyone can see Tuoba Yu's thoughts on her. If Li Wei Yang can... the empress' position has been occupied by Princess Pinting, yes, but it is extremely simple to strive for more benefits for the Li family. Before Li Xiaoran came today, he had given explicit hints, but Li Wei Yang deliberately pretended not to understand and completely ignored his words. He was so angry that he ground his teeth.

When one was under a roof, one had no choice but to lower their head. He doesn't want to trade his daughter for wealth, but since he is the head of the Li family, he must act in the interests of the family. Even if Li Wei Yang is unwilling, he must force her to do so. As a woman, as long as they become someone else's person, they will become obedient. No matter how smart or powerful a woman is, they are all the same. Li Xiaoran thought like this and took the initiative to toast Tuoyu Yu: "Come, have another drink."

Tuoba Yu saw the change in the expression in Li Xiaoran's eyes, smiled slightly, and said: "Prime Minister Li, please, you first."

The two toasted each other, but Li Wei Yang was obviously absent-minded and didn't pay attention to their movements at all. She looked across the courtyard to the plum tree in the yard outside. The snow was like cotton wool, falling on the plum blossoms one after another, but it could not hide the bright red color, which looked very eye catching. She couldn't help but think of that man's smiling eyes, gentle and affectionate, and her heart softened inexplicably.

Tuoyu Yu clearly saw that she was thoughtful, but he sneered in her heart. At this moment, she suddenly heard a crisp sound from the cup and saucer. When Li Wei Yang looked, it turned out to be Li Xiaoran who had accidentally dropped his cup. Half of his sleeves were wet, and a long string of water beads dripped down. He seemed to be stunned, laughed and said: "I was just happy for a moment, so I drank a few more glasses. Your Highness, please don't mind me!"

Of course Tuoba Yu would not blame him and said with a smile: "Someone come, change the cup for the Prime Minister." Immediately, a maid from outside responded and came in to change Li Xiaoran's cup. Li Wei Yang glanced at them and sneered in her heart, but there was a faint smile on her face.

Li Xiaoran stood up unsteadily and said, "Why do I feel like my head is getting heavier and heavier? Alas, people are useless when they get old. This is what happens after only three or five drinks."

Tuoba Yu seemed a little surprised and stood up: "Does this...do I need to send someone to take you back first?"

Li Wei Yang's eyes flashed across Li Xiaoran's face several times before she smiled: "Isn't it true that father can drink a thousand cups?"

Li Xiaoran's body suddenly swayed, his hands trembled involuntarily, and he lowered his head uncontrollably, not daring to meet her gaze: "I really drank too much today, so that's okay, I'll just go to the side room to rest for a while."

After Li Wei Yang glanced at Li Xiaoran for a moment, she chuckled and said: "Father, you have really worked hard."

Li Xiaoran couldn't help but look at her in shock, almost thinking that his mind had been read.

There was an undercurrent in Tuoyu Yu's eyes. He looked at Li Wei Yang with a smile and said, "Come, send the Prime Minister to the next room to rest."

Li Xiaoran did not dare to look at Li Wei Yang's eyes anymore, and frowned slightly. The maid quickly stepped forward to help him tie his cloak and lifted the curtain. Someone had already opened an oil paper umbrella to cover him from the wind and snow, and Li Xiaoran walked out of the elegant room.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a wave of cold winter air rushed in, carelessly boring into his heart and piercing into his bones. Li Weiyang raised her eyes to look at the back of that person. Li Xiaoran walked quickly and staggered a little, as if he had drunk too much, but he moved so fast, as if there was a ghost chasing him behind him.

Li Wei Yang sneered, lowered his head and played with the cup in her hand, with a hint of coolness in her voice: "For a while, I resented him very much."

Li Xiaoran always likes to sacrifice others to achieve his own wealth, but why is she destined to be sacrificed by him?  As a father, has he contributed anything to her? He always claims he's doing it for the family, but the glory of the family is always enjoyed by men, while women must dedicate themselves. If she didn't agree, he would call her unfilial and ungrateful. If he wasn't Minzhi's biological father and the old madam's son, why would she have tolerated him for so long?

"What about now?" Tuoba Yu asked thoughtfully. At this moment, his face was handsome, his eyes were like deep pools, and the emotions there seemed to be about to burst out at the next moment, burning everything up.

Li Wei Yang smiled and said: "How can people be resentful if they don't care?"

Her voice was very soft, very soft, but resolutely indifferent. Indeed, if she never cared about this person at all, how could she be angry at his every move? Li Wei Yang kept Li Xiaoran, but only for the sake of Old Madam Li's repeated pleas. If he continues to be so ignorant and use his position as father to try and force her, don't blame her for being rude to him.

Tuoyu Yu stopped asking questions and looked at Li Wei Yang with a smile on his face. There seemed to be some unknown meaning in that smile: "Let's not talk about this anymore. It's all because of you that I can be where I am today. Here, let me toast you."

Li Wei Yang's eyebrows were very calm, and she did not feel the slightest excitement: "His Highness is too serious, Wei Yang did not do anything, everything is His Highness's own credit."

Since he was conferred as a first rank prince, Tuoba Yu's status has been very stable. In addition, the Fifth Prince, the Crown Prince, and Tuoba Zhen fell one after another. It seems that he is the only one left who is qualified to take the throne. Everything is going so smoothly. No wonder so many people are rushing to fawn over him. Even Li Xiaoran couldn't sit still.

Tuoba Yu looked at Li Wei Yang and said, "You were absent-minded just now. What were you looking at?"

Li Wei Yang smiled and said: "I'm looking at the plum blossoms outside. Look, how gorgeous they are."

Tuoba Yu followed her line of sight, smiled slightly, and said, "It's such a pity that such a beautiful flower withers when everything comes back to life in spring. If you like it, I can ask someone to cultivate it specially for you..."

Li Wei Yang glanced at him and said: "Your Highness, there are some things that you can't keep even if you want to. Why bother?"

This sentence sounded casual, but Tuoba Yu was shocked. He almost thought that Li Wei Yang had seen through his mind, and smiled reluctantly, saying: "Wei Yang, sometimes I don't understand what you say. Why do you always keep your sincerity hidden from me?"

Li Wei Yang glanced at him and said: "Oh? Your Highness, do you want to see my sincerity? But, I don't know if I have it, so how can I show it to you?"

Tuoba Yu's smile slowly turned cold: "No, you have it, of course you have it! It's just that your thoughts have been given to him, so you have never looked at me seriously! Wei Yang, how am I inferior to him? In terms of identity , in terms of status, power, and intentions for you, I dare say that no one in the world can surpass me. I have loved you for so long, but why are you unwilling to be my princess? Do I bore you like this?"

Li Wei Yang put down the cup, and her tone became more condensed: "Your Highness, I think we have already discussed this issue. No matter how many times you ask it, my answer will be the same. I don't like you, it's that simple. "

Don't like? Can a simple statement of 'don't like' be enough to erase his feelings? He loved her so much, but she sent him away with just such a sentence! Tuoba Yu stared at her, a layer of loneliness slowly covering his face: "You know, I have lost interest in everything since the death of my mother, but in order to get you, I have come step by step to where I am today. "

"To get me?" Li Wei Yang suddenly laughed as if she heard some joke.

Tuoba Yu frowned: "Why are you laughing?!"

Li Wei Yang slowly sighed and said: "Your Highness, you have been deceiving yourself. You have killed so many people along the way and done so many things, not for me, but for yourself. You want to be the emperor, even though you have been unwilling to admit it and have always acted indifferent, but ask yourself, are you really fighting for this throne for me?"

Tuoba Yu's face became ugly, and his dark eyes were filled with anger: "You may not accept it, but you cannot deny my intention!"

Li Wei Yang smiled softly and said: "If I ask you to give up the throne now, stay with me, and leave the capital forever, are you willing?"

Tuoba Yu's heart was shocked, and a strange feeling of pain quickly emerged, but he couldn't explain what it was. Subconsciously, he asked, "Why?"

He doesn't understand; everything is under control now. The throne is his. As long as he ascends to that position, he will naturally no longer need King Chaoyang or Princess Pinting. By then, he can personally deliver the world to Li Wei Yang. Which woman wouldn't like such honor? No matter how cold-hearted she is, she should know that leaving the capital means giving up everything she has worked so hard for!

Li Wei Yang looked at him with a hint of ridicule in her smile: "Don't ask me why, just answer, will you agree?"

Tuoba Yu's heart sank, his body trembled, and there was a slight chill in his back, and he immediately said: "Wei Yang, this is not necessary at all -"

Li Wei Yang put away her smile and said steadily: "So you see, between the throne and me, what you love more is the country, so don't keep saying that you took the throne for me, I can't afford  it." Everyone must be responsible for their own choices. Tuoba Yu looks very strong on the outside, but on the inside he is a person who is afraid of taking responsibility. He was unwilling to take the responsibility for killing, so he kept pretending that he was not interested in the throne. He didn't want to bear the notoriety, so he had always acted as the happy prince, but subconsciously turned a blind eye to everything Concubine De did. When he had no other choice, he used her as a shield. In fact, he was deceiving himself and numbing all his own feelings, including guilt, resentment, and revenge. It seems that as long as it is for her, Li Wei Yang, everything he does becomes a matter of course.

This person was so complicated that she didn't even really see through him at first, thinking that he really loved her to the extreme. But after asking him just now, she was already sure that in his heart, the throne was of utmost importance to him. What's important is that he worked hard and gave everything, superficially for her, but subconsciously, it was for power and position.

After hearing these words, Tuoba Yu felt as if a cold wind was approaching his bones, and his heart was chilled. He slowly approached her and said: "Li Wei Yang, you said these words just because you don't love me, so you want to hurt me, attack me, and even force me to give up the throne! You clearly know that I have sacrificed so much to finally be so close to it, and there is no need to give up. If you feel that the throne hinders you and me, just wait for me. Once I ascend the throne, I will find a way to depose Pinting and give you the status you want!"

Abolish Princess Pinting and give her a title? Li Wei Yang suddenly wanted to laugh. Look, these  men actually had the same idea. King Chaoyang was of great help to Tuoba Yu in his fight for the throne, so he married Princess Pinting, but he never treated her well. He even thought about getting rid of her in the future and marrying another woman. After using it, he kicked it away mercilessly. What is the difference between this kind of behavior and Tuoba Zhen? It's exactly the same! It's a pity that she, Li Wei Yang, disdains being Li Chang Le, and will never interfere in other people's marriages. Acting affectionately towards her will only make her extremely disgusted!

"Tuoba Yu, you keep saying that you love me. But if you really love me, where were you when your mother humiliated me? If you really love me, when I was forced into marriage, where are you? If you really love me, why would you marry Princess Pinting just for a mere throne? Tuoba Yu, you should be honest with yourself. You are fighting for the throne, not for me. It's because you want the throne deep down." Li Wei Yang's eyes gradually turned cold, and even the last smile on her face disappeared.

Tuoba Yu sneered and said: "Wei Yang, no matter what you say, it won't change anything. I really love you, and everything I do is to get you."

Seeing how stubborn he was, Li Wei Yang shook her head slightly and said: "Tuoba Yu, Princess Pinting really loves you, why can't you see her goodness and always be obsessed with me? My appearance is not as good as hers, my background is not as good as hers, even my hands are stained with blood, and I have a heart that you can never warm. How long can your love for me last? If one day, you really become the emperor there will be all kinds of beauties in the harem. In order to win over the courtiers, you can't leave ignore them. How much thought can you devote to me? Unlike them, I can share anything except my husband. Now, I have finally put down the burden of the past and can truly move on, but you insist on letting me go back to that hopeless life! I will not become your canary. Since you said you love me, can you let me go free?"

Everyone is selfish, and they will always try to grasp the beautiful and desired things in their hands in any possible way. Even if it means death, he won't let go. But if you really like someone, shouldn't you make them happy? Just like Sun Yanjun, no matter what she does, it is all to make the person she loves happy. She can do anything for his smile. If Tuoba Yu really loves her, why can't he let her go?

Tuoba Yu stared at her, a sad look slowly appeared in his eyes: "Do you think I haven't tried? Do you know that after the death of my mother, I suddenly became the target of public criticism, and how many people stared at me, looking for my fault. But I have endured it. Whenever I can't endure it, I will tell myself that as long as I endure it, you will come to me one day."

Li Wei Yang looked at him and sighed. Although Tuoba Yu was reluctant to part with the throne, she had believed his feelings for her had always been true. She didn't have to accept it, but there was no need to trample on this feeling. This was the reason why she kept giving in, because she knew that he had never deceived her. Thinking of this, she said, "The reason why you think so is because Concubine De has always been against you being with me, and even tried every possible means to obstruct your feelings. Ask yourself, the more she obstructs you, does the stronger your will to resist become? Your love for me is not pure, it is mixed with so many things that even you can't explain yourself. How can I accept it? "

Tuoba Yu's expression turned blank as his heart tightened. He swayed back and forth, unsure of what to do. He didn't know how to answer her. He didn't know anything. What exactly did she mean by all that! He looked at her, with her cold eyes and pale face, all of which were the same as in his dreams. He loved her, and he had always told himself that he was working hard for her. But now everything about him was completely denied by her. It was incredible, as if that dream collapsed in an instant. Why, he has always loved her so much! He took a step forward, and Li Wei Yang suddenly smelled a refreshing fragrance on his body.

She subconsciously took a step back, but he continued to move forward, almost half-hugging her, and pressing her lightly on the table with a powerful gesture. That strong fragrance continued to flow off his body. Getting closer, it became more and more intense, and Li Wei Yang frowned: "Tuoba Yu, what are you doing?"

Tuoba Yu's tone was very light: "What you said is nothing more than asking me to let go because  you want to stay with that person, right?"

Li Wei Yang opened her mouth and wanted to deny it, but the refreshing smell made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable. She glanced outside and subconsciously opened her mouth. Tuoba Yu smiled and said, "Are you looking for that maid of yours? Just now I already sent her away——"

Li Wei Yang's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Tuoba Yu, I have always thought that you are a gentleman. Although you and Tuoba Zhen are competing for the throne, you have always had a bottom line, right? Can you even do something as despicable as this?"

Tuoba Yu smiled slowly, but there were a little tears in his eyes: "Wei Yang, why did I become like this? In the past, I refused to fight for the throne. Tuoba Zhen regards me as a strong enemy; he was merciless, and the Crown Prince and Empress forced my concubine mother to death; when I had nothing, you told me to be cruel, to fight, and to be desperate. Now I have abandoned my conscience, abandoned your own nature, but you don't want me, why? Because I refuse to give up the throne? Or do you think I love you more just to spite my concubine mother? No, maybe these are true, but my feelings for you are also true. But the reason why you don't accept me is because you like someone else. You like that person —"

All he got in exchange for his hard work was her ruthlessness - before that, he felt that Li Wei Yang had some feelings for him, but later he realized that she was just using him. His identity, and his ambition became her tool!

Li Wei Yang, you are so smart that you can even plot against me, but you don't know how much pain I feel!

I know that you are using me to deal with the Jiang family and Tuoba Zhen, but I have been pretending not to know and am willing to be used by you. I just ask you to respond to me in the slightest, but you don't! In that case, I will not let you go. Even if I can only get your hatred. If I cannot obtain your love, it is better to turn it into eternal hatred! I will always be the most important in your heart, surpassing Li Minde!

Li Wei Yang wanted to push him away, but he increased his strength. His eyes that had always been gentle and calm suddenly became sharp, "I know you are cautious. If the medicine is mixed with wine and food, you will definitely find it, but what if I bring it with me? The person you have been guarding against is your father. You were afraid that he would betray you, but you didn't expect that I would be despicable enough to drug you, right? In your heart, I have never been this kind of person? Isn't it right? But this is the first and only time in my life that I have done something so despicable." His voice was slightly hoarse, but with a hint of low ambiguity, as he whispered softly in her ear.

Li Wei Yang looked at him coldly. Yes, she was using him, but she made it clear that everyone got what they needed. Yet now he used such a victim's face to blame her? Isn't it too ridiculous? Didn't he get benefits, didn't he secretly rejoice——

His hand had already reached out to untie her clothes. Li Wei Yang didn't struggle, she just stood there, her black eyes ice-like as snow, clearly reflecting his face, but she seemed not to see anything. She said softly: "Stop, I don't want you to look too ugly."

Tuoba Yu didn't understand what she meant. However, Li Wei Yang suddenly pushed him away. He couldn't believe it as he found himself suddently toppling to the ground. His body accidentally hooked the wine and food next to him and spilled it. It was all over the place, even staining his sleeves.

Reborn Rich

“In the end, money is what makes the world turn.” – Mr. Oh Se Hyeon

Mentre in Goodbye My Princess andiamo avanti a forzature ed esigenze di trama, nonché una storia d'amore che se la guardi bene risolta bella tossica e altre robe che mi fanno solo incazz...re, Reborn Rich porta nella mia vita quella ventata di serietà e cinico realismo che tanto mi mancava e che tanto mi piace:

capitalismo, viaggio dell'eroe, indice di mercato, famiglie disagianti, ambiguità morale ed etica, psicologie complesse... e qualche omicidio qua e là per non farci mancare nulla e dormire sereni la notte.

La trama parla di Yoon Hyun Woo, segretario devoto, laborioso e leale della famiglia chaebol di Soonyang, la quale gestisce il redditizio impero degli affari del Soonyang Group, fondato anni or sono da Jin Yang Cheol. Dire che fa il segretario è tuttavia riduttivo: tra le sue mansioni troviamo infatti lo sturare i cessi, risolvere controversie, organizzare appuntamenti, imboscare fogli compromettenti e ogni tanto pigliare le botte dei suoi superiori. Durante una lotta di potere tra i figli di Jin Yang Cheol per il controllo dell'impero, Hyun Woo viene spietatamente tradito e ucciso per ordine di uno sconosciuto membro della famiglia del suo Capo. Per essere precisi, gli sparano in testa e lo danno in pasto ai pesci. Ma anziché morire come tutte le persone normali, Hyun Woo si risveglia da bambino nel corpo del membro più giovane della famiglia Jin, Jin Do Jun. Dopo aver realizzato cosa è successo, Yoon Hyun Woo complotta per usare la sua nuova "identità" e acquistare il gruppo, punendo le persone che lo hanno ucciso. e diventare ricco da far schifo, aggiungo io Ma sarà così facile conquistare il "nonno" Jin Yang Cheol ? un uomo con sangue freddo e affamato di denaro, uno che crede fermamente nel diritto di primogenitura? medioevo style Riuscirà Hyun Woo a strappare le redini dell'Impero ai figli di Jin Yang Cheol? E che ruolo avrà in tutto questo l' accanito pubblico ministero Seo Min Young, soprannominato “Soonyang Group Grim Reaper”?

Come si evince dalla trama, la serie tratta di " vendetta" e riscatto. C'è un uomo che torna nel passato ed usa le sue abilità e conoscenze per ottenere quello che vuole, punendo quelle persone che sono state orribili con lui e ottenendo così giustizia ed una sorta di rivincita.

O almeno, la serie sembra che parli di questo per 15 episodi salvo poi cambiare decisamente rotta nel finale. Ma di questo parlerò dopo perché il finale merita un discorso a parte.

Quello che adesso importa è l'ammirazione che Reborn Rich è riuscita a farmi provare per tutta la serie: la storia, i colpi di scena, il ritmo, i personaggi e le relazioni tra loro. E poi ancora, l'arco temporale degli anni 80/90/2000 con oggetti e tendenze tipiche di quell'epoca.: il film del Titanic, l'attacco alle Torri Gemelle, il Millennium Bug...

Ma soprattutto, la mia ammirazione va alla recitazione. Chi più chi meno, tutti hanno recitato così bene da far sembrare veri i personaggi portati in scena. Palma d'oro a Lee Sung Min ed il suo Jin Yang Cheol. Il Nonno patriarca della famiglia non solo è stato uno dei personaggi migliori di quest'annata dramica per per me, ma anche la sua recitazione è risultata perfetta. Lee Sung Min mostra tutta l'umanità del suo personaggio, passando facilmente da uomo cinico bastardo ad anziano con sintomi di demenza.

Io non credo che potrò mai dimenticare il 12° episodio: la scena nell'ascensore, quando il Nonno dopo una sfuriata colossale al lead, si fa la pipì addosso e guarda il ragazzo con lo sguardo disperato è di una potenza stratosferica. Credo di aver pianto.

“Below my chest, I have three things that others don’t have. Here resides my greed for money. Here lies my distrust of those who work for me. And down here is where you’d find my ability to betray anyone, anytime.” – Chairman Jin Yang Cheol

Quest'uomo che si credeva invincibile, abituato a dare ordini con uno sguardo, capace di ottenere obbedienza dagli altri solo con la presenza, Capo in azienda e Capo in casa, si ritrova a fare i conti con un nemico imbattibile: il tempo.

Ed è straziante vederlo lottare per rimanere lucido, non volendo accettare la malattia perché lui è il Capo del Soonyang e non è abituato a perdere. Manco contro la Morte.

Nonostante Jin Yang Cheol non sia una brava persona, lo spettatore non può fare a meno di ammirare la sua lucidità di pensiero, il fiuto per i soldi, l'arguzia, il freddo cinismo, di un uomo venuto su dal nulla e che dal nulla ha creato un Impero economico da miliardi di dollari.

Le sue parole, per quanto dolorose, sono spesso veritiere e durante tutta la serie mostra una cruda perspicacia che inquadra perfettamente la nostra società ed il suo lavoro. Nonché l'assenza stessa del suo personaggio:

“We hate spending just one cent for the good of the country, but to make one cent, us businessmen are willing to give our lives.” – Chairman Jin Yang Cheol

Seguire quest'uomo è come farsi un viaggio nell'economia- uno dei temi centrali della serie - e nella mente di uno che ha guidato il mercato del suo paese per anni.

Inflessibile, esigente, a tratti crudele, macchiavellico, spregiudicato... ma allo stesso tempo visionario, sognatore, determinato, protettivo. Uno dei miei personaggi preferiti di quest'anno, davvero.

“Don’t you know whom I love the most out of all my children? It’s Soonyang.” – Chairman Jin Yang Cheol

Se c'è però un fallimento nella vita di quest'uomo, questo è dato dai figli/nipoti. Chiariamoci, io non me la sento nemmeno di dare tutte le colpe a questi figli: con un Padre/Padrone così, con una ambiente di crescita così, era inevitabile che i figli non venissero su così bene.

Troppo concentrato nell'azienda e determinato a portare avanti il diritto di primogenitura, il Presidente si ritrova con l'intera famiglia totalmente priva di amore verso di lui ed anche verso gli altri. Tutti - quasi tutti - aspettano solo che muoia, più interessati all'eredità che al benessere del vecchio padre: padri contro figli, figli contro nipoti, mogli contro mariti, fratello contro sorella e chi più ne ha più ne metta.

Una volta iniziata la lotta per l'eredità, la famiglia del Presidente inizia una guerra senza pietà tra di loro, pronti anche ad uccidere pur di ottenere ciò che vogliono. ed è bellissimo vederli scannarsi tra loro

E... puoi biasimarli? D'altronde è questo quello che il Nonno gli ha insegnato. Non guardare in faccia a nessuno, guadagnare soldi e potere scavalcando e usando chiunque per prendere ciò che vuoi e nel caso tradisci pure se ce ne fosse bisogno.

Ma ahimè a tutti i figli e nipoti legittimi manca il fiuto aziendale, l'abilità di far soldi tanto cara al Presidente, che invece abbonda in Jin Do Jun. L'unico ad aver preso dal Nonno.

“Of all my children and grandchildren, the only one who cares about me is Do Jun.” – Chairman Jin Yang Cheol

Ed è proprio il rapporto Nonno/ Nipote un altra cosa meravigliosa della serie: è lancinante per il Patriarca accorgersi e poi convincersi che proprio il nipote più piccolo è l'unico adatto a prendere in mano le redini di famiglia. E lo è, perché sa che facendo la cosa più giusta, ossia nominando Jin Do Jun erede per salvare l'azienda, ferirebbe i suoi figli che mai accetterebbero che l'ultimo arrivato prenda il loro posto.

Nella serie viene mostrato tutto il combattimento interiore del Nonno che alla fine cede, ammaliato dall'intelligenza e abilità del nostro protagonista.

Il rapporto tra i due non inizia nel migliore dei modi, niente coccole e dolcetti ma mettendosi alla prova e sfidandosi; soprattutto per Do Jun, provocare il nonno in ambito finanziario è un modo per mostrargli quanto vale, a costo di attirare la rabbia dell'anziano e mostrargli che è lui l'unico degno di ereditare l'azienda.

Ma è nella parte finale della serie che il loro rapporto si intensifica: una volta che il Nonno cade malato e inizia a soffrire di demenza, Do Jun è l'unico che gli sta ancora vicino, che si preoccupa per lui e mostra di volergli davvero bene.

Tornando alla scena dell'ascensore, quella è emblematica per mostrare i diversi livelli di attaccamento dei due nipoti verso il nonno: mentre il maggiore mette consapevolmente il nonno in difficoltà, mettendolo appositamente in imbarazzo, desideroso di mostrare agli altri la demenza del Nonno per il proprio tornaconto, Do Jin protegge la dignità dell'anziano, rovesciando appositamente il secchio d'acqua per nascondere la pipì del vecchio e non far capire alla donna delle pulizie lì presente, quello che era successo.

Nonno e Nipote si ritrovano a proteggersi a vicenda cementificando un legame già stupendo e regalando allo spettatore tutta l'intensità di questa relazione ormai arrivata alle battute finali ma che è stata così incisiva e bellissima lungo tutto l'arco della serie.

Ci sarebbero poi altre millemila cose di cui parlare:

dall'intelligenza di Do Jun e alla sua capacità di "prevedere il futuro" per scommettere in borsa, alla Nonna che tenta di uccidere il Nonno poiché sconvolta dalla preferenza del marito per il nipote più piccolo a scapito dei figli. Dalla moglie del nipote più grande, innamorata di Do Jun ma disposta a stare a fianco del marito per i soldi e per consigliarlo malignamente ai tre figli del Nonno - quindi gli zii di Do Jun - che si fanno fregare dal nipote in modo esilarante...

Troppe cose che merita comunque la visione della serie.

Ed ora che abbiamo parlato delle cose belle di questa serie, tocchiamo quelle un po' più meh.

Prima di tutto la storia d'amore. Lo dico papale papale: a me sta storia d'amore non mi ha mai interessato. Se anche non ci fosse stata, non avrei pianto. Ora, non so se sono io, ma non ho trovato chimica tra i due innamorati Do Jun e Min Young. Non so se fosse per le poche scene a loro destinate, per come era costruita o altro, la recitazione di lei o se la "colpa" ricadesse sul personaggio di Min Young, rea di interpretare un characters troppo moralmente positivo, in un mondo di personaggi grigi e ambigui.

Fatto sta che io la storia d'amore a sto punto non l'avrei proprio messa.

L'ultimo punto è dedicato al finale.

Avevo letto in giro che sto finale era così brutto, così fatto male che molta gente aveva dimezzato il voto finale della serie. Era piovuta una pioggia di critiche ma l'unica che mi interessava era quella che metteva in luce come il finale rendesse tutte le 15° puntate precedenti inutili.

Letto ciò, mi sono subito super preoccupata, pensando che questo finale dovesse essere brutto, fatto male e totalmente assurdo.

Ed arrivata alla fine, posso dire che il sedicesimo episodio, bene o male, si porta davvero a casa quelle critiche... ma con più leggerezza, almeno da parte mia.

Ma perché che succede?

Accade che Do Jun riesce ad essere nominato erede dell'azienda ma il giorno della sua "incoronazione", quando è ad un passo dal sogno... muore. Viene ammazzato dal solito camion di cui la Corea sembra tanto afflitta e a provocare l'incidente è un inconsapevole e giovane Hyun Woo. Che proprio grazie a questo, inizia a lavorare per il Soonyang, la stessa azienda che 5 anni dopo lo ammazzerà, chiudendo così il cerchio tra lui e il nipote più piccolo della famiglia Jin.

Finita la vita di Do Jun, Hyun Woo si risveglia in ospedale - DOPO UNA PALLOTTOLA IN TESTA - scoprendo che è stato in coma per una settimana.

Tornato alla sua vecchia vita ed inseguito dal Soonyang, decide di realizzare il vecchio sogno di prendere possesso dell'azienda, stroncando una volta per tutte la guerra che imperversa nella sua vecchia famiglia.

E se nella sua prima vita aveva iniziato la scalata prendendo la tortuosa via di acquisto delle azioni di Soonyang, questa volta punta in alto, attaccando direttamente i diritti di gestione della famiglia:

per essere brevi, riesce a dimostrare - grazie al fatto che è lui l'esecutore materiale - che ad uccidere Do Jun è stato lo zio più grande e che la famiglia che si occupa dell'azienda è marcia, tossica e totalmente inadatta a governare Soonyang.

Per questo, la famiglia perde i diritti di gestione, alcuni vanno in galera, altri muoiono, alcuni divorziano e tutti partecipano ad un corso di etica e moralità. perle ai porci

Così l'azienda passa in mano al lead che viene nominato "gestore specializzato" senza avere in mano manco un azione, la morte di Do Jun è vendicata ed il nostro eroe filtra pure con la procuratrice che tanto gli piaceva.

The end.

E cosa c'è che non va?

Per uno... è frettolosa.

Nell'arco di 40 minuti/ mezz'ora, Hyung Woo riesce a fare quello che Do Jun ha fatto, sudando sangue e merda, in 15 episodi. Se nel passato la famiglia lottava con le unghie e con i denti, rispondendo colpo su colpo ai piani di Do Jun senza arrendersi mai, nel presente pare totalmente passiva. Niente piani di scorta, tentativi di ribaltare la situazione o altro. Stanno lì a farsi sconfiggere quando tu spettatore sai benissimo che volendo questi, carte da giocare ne potevano tirar fuori a bizzeffe.

E poi... hanno nominato Hyung Woo gestore specializzato di Soonyang. Per farla breve adesso i diritti di gestione dell'azienda sono in mano a lui. Bene. Sono contenta.

Ma perché?

Come?

in base a quali meriti o bravura in gestione aziendale? Hyung Woo era un segretario e tecnicamente non dovrebbe avere competenze in questo ambito. Do Jun invece, era quello che aveva dimostrato a tutti la sua abilità nel mercato azionario. Sicuramente Hyung Woo è stato nominato perché ha usato le sue conoscenze acquisite come Do Jun per convincere gli azionisti dell'azienda... ma devi farmelo vedere questo!

Non dico che la sconfitta della famiglia e la nomina di Hyung Woo siano due cose assurde per l'andazzo della serie. Dico però che io, almeno altri tre episodi li avrei messi. Non solo per evitare frettolosità e superficialità da parte di una serie sempre attenta al dettaglio, ma anche per far bene, in modo coerente e realistico questo finale. Perché fatto così, è precipitoso e fatto male. E la serie non se lo merita.

Andando alla critica che mi sta più a cuore, essa tocca l'essenza stessa della serie: mentre si pensa che Reborn rRch parli di un poveraccio a cui viene data una possibilità per diventare ricco, ottenendo giustizia e rivalsa, il finale rivela il vero messaggio della serie:

Il tema infatti non è tanto la vendetta o il diventare il nuovo Bill Gates della Corea ma il pentimento. Hyung Woo si è ritrovato a rinascere come Do Jun per pentirsi del torto che aveva fatto al ragazzo, uccidendolo. Oltre che comprendere che fare il maggiordomo della famiglia Jin era la cosa peggiore che poteva fare. Hyung Woo vive la vita di Do Jun per rendergli giustizia e tentare di rimediare all'errore commesso anni prima.

E' un messaggio bellissimo che però si perde nell'economia della serie. Concentrata sulla scalata al potere di Do Jun, questa tematica viene nascosta così bene che quando emerge nel finale ti lascia un po' confusa.

E non perché sia sbagliata, ma perché pare che la serie se ne sia dimenticata per interi episodi e che poi te la sbatta in faccia prepotentemente negli ultimi minuti. Così facendo però, secondo me, perde di potenza e anziché essere il faro della serie, risulta poco efficace e buttata un po' lì.

Detto questo, nonostante questo, io promuovo a pieni voti Reborn Rich.

Un cast stupendo, una recitazione da Oscar, una storia piena di colpi di scena e personaggi affascinanti, condita con un corso breve di economia.

Cosa vuoi di più dalla vita?!

1. Terpendek 2 minggu, terlama 18 months (and still counting!)

2. Masih butuh pelarian dari RL yang penuh trauma itu.

3. Simply karena aku ngefans sama grupnya dan aku biasin Isa, aku tau sedikit banyak tentang Isa jadi peraninnya gak kagok! She's literally my muse!

4. Keverif WGL terus lapak verifannya direcokin mantan. Waktu itu emang baru putus 10 hari TAPI dianya sendiri baru putus 3 hari udah WGL-an juga dan saat aku verifan itu dia jadian sama partner WGL-nya. SALAHKU DI MANA? Udah lagi partner WGL-ku GHOSTING 2 hari pertama karena MAIN PLATO... huft udah lah.

5. Cut off duluan, gak nyaman.

6. Kino Pentagon, tapi dulu ya sekarang udah enggak.

7. Isinya kebutuhan OA dan SQ aja sih, sama ada bahan diving tapi belum kesentuh hehe...

8. NCT Dream - Like We Just Met, ingat pacarku karena kita berdua suka banget lagu ini. Ada waktunya di mana kita 24/7 denger lagu ini, terus rasanya jatuh cinta lagi dan lagi, perasaannya masih sama seperti waktu pertama kali ketemu.

9. Kalau yang full main rp 5 tahunan deh, sebelumnya udah main juga cuma sempet long rest dan LRP.

10. Gak ada alesannya alias tiba-tiba menghilang, DM-ku gak dibales anaknya gak pernah on lagi.

11. Awalnya keganggu, tapi yaudah lah gimana ya aku kan keren, wajar aja kalau jadi ada yang obses (jk).

12. Diem aja. Kalau emang dikasih kesempatan buat denger cerita dari kedua pihak dan emang bisa bantu, bakalan aku bantu sebisa aku. Kalau enggak yaudah diem aja, gak mau ikut campur masalah orang lain.

13. 2016 (newbie)

14. 18 months and still counting! <3

15. Kayak disayat-sayat alias perih banget guys.

16. Banyak jujur... pernah jadi Winter aespa, Eunchae Le Sserafim, Hanni NewJeans, sama Dayeon Kep1er tapi gak sampai sebulan.

17. Cantikku, my princess, my loveliest, my sunshine, Lee Chaeyoung, Lee Isa, Aisa, terima kasih banyak sudah lahir ke dunia dan tidak pernah menyerah atas mimpimu. Terima kasih sudah menari dan bernyanyi di atas panggung dan selalu berusaha untuk menghibur SWITH. I love you so much and I will support you no matter what, please Stay WITH me til the end! <3

18. Berantem waktu ngadmin bareng.

19. Lee Isa, Jang Wonyoung, Karina, Park Jisung, Park Wonbin, Byeon Wooseok ^___^

20. Nope! Aku sudah cut off orang-orang yang bikin aku gak nyaman. Tahun ini aku mulai menerapkan mati satu tumbuh seribu, people come and go, dan always prioritize myself first!

21. Nope, gak nyaman. Kalau jadi semut pernah (kena dare).

22. Biasa aja... aku anaknya suka lupa juga jadi yaudah. Kalau pun inget ya.. yaudah gak sih? Kan di GDM banyak orang, tinggal ngobrol sama yang lain aja, ez pz lemon squeeze (berusaha tidak ovt).

23. Gatau yang pasti tidak dalam waktu dekat soalnya masih stress (manusia hanya bisa berencana).

24. Nonton, nonton apapun itu mau drama, reels, konten K-Pop, stage K-Pop, mukbang, apapun itu yang penting nonton!

25. Halo, pacar imutku! 1000 ucapan terima kasih tidak akan pernah cukup untuk menggambarkan rasa syukurku atas hadirnya kakak di hidup aku, but still, thank you for everything, sayangku. Banyak sekali hal dan kejadian dengan berbagai macam emosi yang aku, kakakㅡkita rasakan selama kita menjalin kasih sepanjang masa ini, dan di semua kisah itu selalu ada kakak di dalamnya. Kakak sayangku, terima kasih banyak sudah bersedia menggengam erat tanganku dan tidak pernah berpikir untuk melepaskannya barang sedetikpun. Lagi-lagi aku hanya bisa bersyukur atas segala cinta dan kasih yang kamu berikan kepadaku, semuanya terasa lembut dan nyaman untuk aku tinggal di dalamnya. Aku sangat menyayangimu dan akan selalu menyayangimu!
