#a practical guide to evil

[alicelufenia]

On rereading the webtoon, I'm reminded of this passage from book 2 of the Guide, in regards to Catherine and The Face

I always wondered about the creepy teeth smile, and I believe this might be it's earliest appearance in the comic

So that's what we call a slasher smile, and yeah it's supposed to be creepy. Extremely funny that she does it unintentionally, given how often her narrative describes her deliberately smiling "all teeth and malice," and then the orcs have to destroy the effect by saying "oh that's the face hey everyone she's doing the face now."

I think the single funniest case of "focus of narration reflects POV character's perspective" (ie certain POVs noting architecture, or clothes, or other setting details in ways other POVs don't) was Practical Guide to Evil, where it gets revealed about 5 books in that every single time the narration goes into lavish physical description of a character, that reflected the main character checking them out in a way she thinks is subtle (it is not)

Catherine limped in ahead, eyes considering as she took in the sight of the full roster of the Blood as well Princess Rozala. Liveried servants offered refreshments that all refused, and Hakram noted with exasperated amusement that his warlord’s eyes were lingering a little longer than necessary on Rozala Malanza. Half the Blood too, though he was surprised that among the men she seemed to prefer the almost orcish frame of Yannu Marave to Razin Tanja’s, who was much closer in age. As she was less than discreet he wondered if offence might accidentally been given, but if he was reading the expression correctly Lady Aquiline Osena looked more flattered than anything else by the roving eye. He met Vivienne’s eyes in shared aggravation behind Catherine’s back, though he figured at least they should be pleased she’d not been undressing the First Prince of Procer with her eyes. That might go over poorly, he thought.

Continuing to read A Practical Guide to Evil and some phrases I want to teach the Woe:

"Skill issue" - Masego

"Your secret is safe with my indifference" - Hakram

"Weird hill to die on, but at least you're dead" - Vivienne

hacker voice: "I'm in" - Indrani

"Not my circus, not my monkeys" - Catherine (note: definitely both her circus and her monkeys. Is it Robber? It's probably Robber)

"one [x], one [y]" phrases always go so fucking hard. one flesh, one end. one sky, one destiny. one sin, one grace. bangers all. more of that please

I like that the webtoon is acknowledging all the different languages used on Calernia

They seem to be indicating them with the colored borders on speech bubbles (yellow here being Kharsum)

Holy fuck Cat looks so cute in armor ;_;

Also I love how this meeting starts off with Catherine being called a slur, so she claps back at Istrid in the little Kharsum she's learned over the summer (a light clap back at that, but she is an old friend of Black's and the general of the Sixth) and instantly earns her respect.

I've also been struggling to figure out how deoraithe is supposed to be pronounced, once I learned that Irish isn't pronounced how you might think compared to English. From what I can tell, deoraí means exile, and is pronounced something like DOOR-y. But when conjugated as deoraithe is pronounced more like DOOR-ha. Don't even get me started with how you're supposed to say the Duchy of Daoine, I'm probably still wrong.

Belerophons probably have the weirdest kinks Like living in a country where you can have your head blown Up by the Secret Police for even fantasizing about doing bondage is probably really fertile breeding grounds for developing a Kink for having your head blown Up by the Secret police
