I'm literally watching the first episode of "im in love with the villainess" right now and lemme tell y'all from all the self indulgenced, isekai audience inserts there are

Rae Taylor is by far the most relatable one cuz, i too would be more than ecstatic if i were transported to another world and the pretty villainess decided to dedicate all of her attention to me (yes even bullying is attention and maybe just like Rae herself i would like to get stepped on, HARD!!!)

I think my favorite type of character is the one that goes;

Here is my love. I am giving it fully and freely to you. You are my devotion, my clarity, my serenity, my creativity, my inspiration, my innocence, my downfall, my sanity. I am giving you my everything.

and the other person goes;

Eww

Alright babes... Anil is officially involved now.

While Anil tries to take culpability for Princess Patt having found out about Pin's relationship with her, it is significant to note that she never actually apologizes. Anil insistently continues to use bold action, despite how it may affect Pin herself. She sneaks into Pin's bedroom and very loudly declares herself in her speech in that final scene.

Anil assures Pin that she will 'find a way' for them to be together. Yet, even as a high ranking princess, that is not something she can guarantee. Even though Anil knows the societal realities, she believes that she still holds enough privilege to facilitate a fantasy... which is simply not the case.

There is something to be said for Anil and Pin reaffirming their love for one another in the middle of a storm, where they risk the chance of being seen by others. Very symbolically fitting.

I've been building up to this for a while... No matter the fact that Anil was the one to initially pursue a relationship with Pin, it was always going to be Pin who took the brunt of the responsibility...

It's as clear as day when Princess Patt says to Pin, "Stop blaming other people, Lady Pin. It is you who has done wrong." It is Pin who has done wrong, so it is Pin who must be punished. And so, like I've said previously, it is Pin who has the most to lose. Though it's still not ideal, Anil does have a semblance of more agency over her life... where Pin does not. And while Anil is hurt and upset over their future situation, it is Pin who has suffered the most.

Let's discuss THE SCENE™️

Bless Anan... he is trying his best. As much as he supports his sister, he can only do so much for her within the confines of royal customs.

I love that the series made a very clear delineation between what are seen as western traditions vs. what are actual Thai traditions. It's been hammered into us that in Thai 'courtships', where royalty and nobility are concerned, the woman has little to no say over who is to be her chosen suitor. And while not always an unpleasant custom, Pin has made it very clear that she has no inclination toward wanting to be with Kuea. But for Kuea and Princess Patt (and Princess Alisa), Pin's feelings do not matter. All that matters is status and honoring tradition. Or as Anil put it, that Pin is simply a product... that must wait for any suitable man to buy her.

And did we notice, that while everyone else was discussing Pin and Pin's feelings about her marriage, Pin sat in silence... literally devoid of any color. 😭😭😭

And even with Pin's quiet pleas to stay silent, Anil goes on to expose the nature of her feelings for Pin... which was tear-jerking and exceptionally delivered by Becky... but still incredibly reckless and somewhat naive. In selfishly wanting to "correct" the situation, she inadvertently made things much worse.

I'm not going to nitpick the translations here, because they were incredibly spot on... but I do want to point out the use of two words in Thai:

When Patt and Anil express the someone that is a 'perfect choice' or 'deserving' of Pin (for Patt that is Kuea, and for Anil it is herself) they use the word คู่ควร 'khu kuan'. It insinuates a pair that is 'worthy' of one another based in suitability.

In that same instance, when Anil claims she is the one who deserves to be with Pin, she uses the expression ย่อมเป็น (pronounced 'yawm pen') which implies a state of definite inevitability.

We did it! We survived the emotional rollercoaster that was episode twelve... barely 😭😭😭

Check out Part One, if you missed it.

anyway like idk who needs to hear this but as a goy who also used to be “antizionist” i am begging y’all to just be normal about the jews please. you can and should advocate for the safety and self determination of palestinians without engaging in centuries-old antisemitic rhetoric. there is nothing any one jew could do, no opinion they could hold, that justifies the absolute bigoted vitriol being directed at them online right now

[radicalcoffeeclub]

Any other europeans so tired again this pride month because of how much social justice stuff is just taken from america and brought to us but it all happens like five years slower than in america so you're just forced to watch the trainwreck you've followed online to happen in your country too in slow motion and all the usamerican social media discourse and the false claims it brings such as "pride started at stonewall" and foreign terms like "queer" be uncritically applied to the discourse in your country even though the historical and cultural context is completely different

Nothing brings me joy more than simping ridiculously obnoxiously over "evil/bad/wrong/complex/villain" characters just because people can't understand the concept of enjoyment not being the same as condoning.

"How can you like Homelander?! He's a fascist racist murderer!"

Who?? My pookie? My Homie? Homelander?? He's my cinnamon son. Never done a thing wrong in his life.

"Billy Hargrove is an abusive racist who deserved to die!"

Billy Hargrove for President 2024. My BarbieBabygirl has never sinned since the day he was born. He crimed? Instant innocence. He's too pretty for jail.

The moment you try to shame or attack or harass me because I enjoy fictional evil little rat bastards I swear to god I will make promoting them my life mission.

Except Joffrey Lannister. Even in this den of sin we don't go that far. #justiceforthedirewolvesofhousestark

This brought out my friend's comment in discord.

"Luka is going to progress the plot if he stays!"

"Quick! Send him to Brazil so he could get wiped out from the audience's mind!"

They literally wrap him up and ship him out like a package lmao

luka's fate is still unbelievable to me though because back when truth and lies premiered i thought he and kagami would be written out for good as they served their purpose. i was pleasantly surprised by kagami in S5 because she got a handful of episodes that showed off her character development and ended up crossing paths with felix - one of the most important characters of the season.

luka never got any growth though. he stays the same from S2 to S5 and the only notable difference is that he's burdened with the knowledge of ladynoir's identities but it doesn't change his character in any meaningful way because luka ALWAYS knew marinette liked adrien, even WHEN THEY WERE DATING, and he was supporting her through all of it. and to add more salt to the wound they simply write him out instead of making him do anything with that info. migration is gonna be a nightmare really
