oh, don't run away, pretty bride!

Caelus of Vrandt

Uros silently brushed your hair, as you struggled against the many ropes, the binds digging in your skin as you cried against the cloth gag shoved in your mouth..It wasn't your finest moment, trying to run away—

"And would you look at that! Fits like a glove!~" the head maid hummed in delight, fitting you in your wedding dress, tightening the corset to the point of making it unbreathable.

But you put up a smile, nodding. "It is." you said, though tone a bit stiff, the maids ignored it as they all continued to work around and look for multiple jewelleries to fit it!

You hummed, as a few young maids started doing your hair and when all was set and done! The head maid winked, leaving you to collect yourself a few minutes, right before the ceremony started as you beamed at her.

Uros smiled, seeing he head maid walk out as he pat Caelus who had a rare smile on her lips. Diana and Helios itting a few feet away with smiles on their faces. Caelus took in a breath, panic but xcitement in his chest as the tune for your ntrance began and played..

Of-course, the tune continued is perfect symphony that was supposed to be this marriage, until—

"...Where is she..?" Uros whispered to the head maid who shook her head, Uros immediately took to find you, opening the door to find you—

..Nothing.

Oh shit.

You tried your best, picking up the dress and running as fast as you could outside, onto the streets. Ignoring the hushed whispers, or the weird looks, hoping your feet could carry you as far as possible..with the trouble of the wedding dress.

Your feet burnt and every one in a while, a pebble pierced the skin, but your legs carried you further because these pebbles could give you the freedom you'd never received again.

The soft jingling of jewellery, as you ran while trying to unclip the lacy, bejeweled veil to reduce some weight, pulling some hair strands in the process but removing it successfully as you shoved it behind a random shop where most wouldn't think to find..

"Just how many times?!" Caelus hissed in annoyance, rubbing his forehead.

While Uros continued to brush your hair, "Do you have any idea how you tarnished the name of Vrandt house?" Uros asked, in a tone serious enough to send chills down Caelus' back. But Uros was more concerned for you.

Your chek stung with bruises and a previous slap, as Caelus grabbed your shoulders, his hand and finger tips pushing in an awkward angle making it sting and your bones bend nearly.

"My love, how far did you think you'd run?" he hissed, his fingers digging deeper as you hissed, trying to struggle out in fear...Seeing that, Caelus tried to gently hold your cheek as you flinched back, making him stamer a bit,

"You know I was just mad, I'm sorry for hitting you.." he whispered, gently wiping your tears and stroking the stinging bruises which the head maid began to cover with concealer, "We're getting married love..I know you love me..I love you too!"

Kenneth Esbande

Standing at the altar, you put on your smile, nodding to whatever the priest said as Kenneth smiled down at you, you felt your chest suffocating you..the wedding bells a bit too haunting—

"Do you take Kenneth Esbande as your lawfully, faithful husband?"

"I-...I...I can't do this! NO!" you huffed, no idea what fueled the confidence as you threw the bouquet in the nearest guard's face and began running down the aisle, purposely pushing the empty seats, since this was only supposed to be a solitaire event.

Pushing another chair onto a guard, you began running down, letting your feet take you as far as they could and as fast as they could in the heels, even with Kenneth yelling your name—

Tripping a few times in your dress, you egan holding it up awkwardly, not minding the look for in fear of your life, you removed your tiara and threw it off somewhere, scoffing. yes blurring in fear and tears, ribs paining from the tight clothes and from the drink you had earlier to wash away the horror.

Running in random alleys— here and there— to lose the guards, and you did for a long while, running anywhere you could to get away throwing whatever you got in your hand to escape.

Sighing, you slowed for a bit when you were far enough in some alley.. stupid choice, but you nearly fell over and noticed your foot bleeding, but you didn't feel it from the adrenaline.

You were slightly panting as you removed your heels, your veil and unclip the drain from the heavy dress..which relived a lot of tension, hiding from Kenneth was no easy feat...

You wiped your eyes, teared up and your chest pressing down on your lungs..air forced out as you tried to hide your pants, as you leaned against the wall—

"Do you need help..?" a man's voice asked softly..You shook your head, eyes too blurred and hazed over, stomach paining..you couldn't tell if it was from alcohol or something happened...

Your knees buckled, sliding down, as you looked up to meet the man's eyes.. Feeling your limbs give you away..your eyes glazing over to blur the man's image, as mindlessly reachd out to him, "Oh don't worry..I'll keep you safe."

Taking a breath, you nearly screamed feeling your ribs crashing down, as the man roughly forced you down, your cheek pressing against the dirty ground—

"but some manners are due..No?"

Kenneth softly shushed you, "I know..I'm sorry, too rough?" he asked, though cold and emotionless as always..his voice held slight warmth as you cried into his chest.

Your wrists still bound, and mouth reddened with bruises as you nodded, sniffling softly..your mouth refused to speak with him now, body absolutely battered and paining from the events that took place before he forced you to get married.

"I know..Shh. I'll make it all better. Don't think of doing that again, got it? I did this for our own good..My darling wife!~"

[pruneunfair]

Ranking every manhwa villainess and white lotus I could find.

Keep in mind these are all opinion based.

#22: At the very bottom of the list is Sumin Jeong from Marry my husband

Now, like almost everyone else on this list, Sumin is kept a level that is below the FL Jiwon so she can never best the hero. However unlike the others here, Sumin has not once been shown to be anything other than a dumb and evil bimbo who talks like elmo even before Jiwon regressed, her reasons for wanting everything Jiwon has make no sense and she has no flavor to her, no backstory that makes sense, no real charm since it's lost as soon as possible, all she has going for her is a distinct design.

#21: Charlotte-the villainess maker

Honestly, Charlotte is about as forgettable as the comic she's from. She doesn't do much, just basic bland white lotus tropes over and over. She is portrayed as a sweet heart but she's secretly a jealous vindictive mean girl, she loses everything to the FL because she's too basic for the not-like-other-girls readers, nothing really revolutionary about her, but this could be chalked up to the story shes from canonically being an abysmal mess written by the FL when she was 14, Sorry Charlotte.

#20: Iris Van Conrad-Today the villainess has fun again.

A step up from Sumin when it comes to backstories, still not the greatest but it makes a little more sense. She's more passive aggressive since her actual plots are destoryed in nanoseconds by the plot, she gets dunked on so much I wonder if she's supposed to the Villainess or a discount Meg Griffin. Considering the fact to that Reilynn is pedo coded, Iris is less of the two evils.

#19: Aisha Selir-divorcing my tyrant husband.

Shes okay, But like Charlotte, Aisha isn't very noteworthy, as usual, any attempts she makes to best or outsmart Robelia are met with utter failure, she could be something really great if she were just allowed to make a mark on the plot. Like actually have Alexandros take responsibility instead of blaming her for her existence. Her design before the art shift was pretty enough and I'm pretty sure she's being possessed by a vindictive soul so that might explain why Aisha suddenly became a villain when she's described as being dainty, sweet, and a general damsel and saintess in the story within DMTH.

18: Fonta Magnus:the tyrants only perfumer

Fonta is the type of antagonist that would be adored as a isekaied protagonist. She doesn't really do much though since she gets defeated over and over with the same plan of copying Ariels ideas (how original, no pun intended) I like her though just because her design reminds me of cartoon goth girls, specially Gwen from total drama island.

#17: Benela Verdi- the princesses jewels

I don't care if she seduced Ariannas father or killed her brother, Arianna was out there acting like she wouldn't do the same just to get with a sexy man. Benela may suffer from the same problems every other villainess does but if ranked them based on that then almost all of them would be on the bottom. This image of her drinking her stress away is accurate to how I felt reading this one.

#16: Claudine von Brandt-Cry or better yet beg

I absolutely adore Claudine and she's not really a villain but unfortunately the narrative says she's a so she'll have to count. It's why she's this low since she's just a woman who gets in the way of the main ship

As you can probably guess, her only crimes are being condescending to Layla and valuing superficial values such as wealth and status, crimes that somehow make her worse than Matthias in the narratives eyes. Justice for my girl Claudine ✊️

now we are moving up to the middle tier

#15: Diana-for my derelict favorite

This girl has more protagonist material then Hestia ever will. Sorry but Hestias entire thing is just being a rich girlboss, simping for Cael and damning any woman who broke his heart including Diana, who is the saintess that opposes murder, Wow! Who would have guessed that the saintess woman wouldn't endorse literal murder! Could she have communicated better? Yes, was she always in the right? Hell no. But she's got more character in her pinky toe then everyone else in their entire bodies to I salute to her.

#14: Irene/Aileen Hascator- I didn't mean to seduce the male lead

I have a weird relationship with her. One minute I'm impressed because she actually does manipulation pretty well at first with making the lives of those who won't swear loyalty her unbearable in very smart ways, she'll buy all her friends expensive dresses so she can stand out in a simpler one, she'll defend the black sheep and make her into her friend to keep up her sweetheart facade, unfortunately it's all so she can get with a boy where she goes nuts on anyone who gets near him.

#13: Freya van Furiana- how to get my husband on my side

I really loved this manhwa, almost all of the characters are complex and 3 dimensional with a great commentary on abuse, ED, and family dynamics, with that said I was a little disappointed seeing Freya as another basic white lotus who only wants Izek for herself, it won't take much even a little more character traits would help because Freya isn't just some random girl who became the ogfl, she was the childhood friend of Izek and Ellen, so we should've gotten to see a little more too her then what we got

#12: Mielle Roscente- the villainess turns the hourglass.

Beautiful design, basic but rather solid goals, a charming personality, Mielle has all of that in the bag. She secretly wants Aria and her mother out of her life since they aren't of noble blood (before the terrible Arias a noble plot twist) and she's really entertaining. However I'll never understand how she managed to destroy Aria in the first timeline if she's such an idiot now. The first timeline also takes the blame off of Arias shitty actions with "Mielle tricked her into being evil!" It ruins the charm since Aria, as a villainess should be allowed to suffer the consequences while not wanting to quit.. since you know, she's not meant to be a good person.

#11: Isabella de Mare-sister I am the queen in this life

NOT YOU!

THIS is the Isabella I'm talking about

Absolute genius, she knows that Ceasre is a bastard and not just in the literal sense, she doesn't even love him and just wants that sweet sweet power and wealth. Fooled Ariande for years that she was on her side and as a bonus she can easily say she wanted revenge for Alfonso to the public if they ever found out she was behind it all. But the best part about first timeline Isabella is her villain monolog that women mean nothing to men, putting your life in their hands is a fatal mistake and if you want to make it to the top, you gotta crush the opponents. But alas we never see this version of Isabella after Ariande goes back in time

Higher tier now, the best of the best who managed to make it this far

#10: Rhyse/Lise Sinclair- not your typical reincarnation story

Yeah shes technically being controlled by the author or hell maybe she is the author I have yet to finish this one but for once we get a comic that doesn't immediately pit two women against eachother and actually gives a solid reason for her to be at odds with Edith. When something doesn't go her way, Rhyse doesn't throw a fit and turn on the water works no no no. She stands there, awkwardly, almost like the real Rhyse is wondering why she feels so jealous and angry with Edith for stealing the spotlight. She's incredibly ominous too when that purple mist surrounds her to force the other characters back into place. All while she's making friends with Edith in a possibly geninue friendship.

#9: Isis Frederick- the villainess reverses the hourglass

I'm pretty sure most of us can agree she's the real villain of TVRTHG since she basically started and encouraged the whole operation to begin with from afar, the puppeteer if you will. Killer design, a great fear factor and an evil sister done better. Wish she had more time to shine.

#8: Diane Poitier- I abdicate my title as empress

What already sets her apart from other evil concubines is that she was there before Adelaide so her reasons for being upset that another woman is showing up to marry the Emperor is reasonable, obviously her actions aren't but I still felt bad for her since no one in that palace gave a damn about her, Diane got ruthlessly belittled and ignored for not being useful to their liking or simply being too desperate and when Adelaide tries to not make an enemy out of her, Diane is looking for anyone to direct her anger on but the redemption arc as short as it is, makes up for it.

#7: Leila- villains are destined to die

My favorite ogfl turned villain. Leila is pure evil no questions asked. She steals the body of Yvonne which played a part in taking the latters reputation to a degree in the fandom and starts brainwashing everyone around her. That's what makes her so terrifying, one minute you could be at your highest and you feel like you rule the world, and next minute it all comes crashing down when the face of your long lost sibling arrives with fake tears in her eyes, ready to destroy everything you hold dear.

#6: Soleia Elard- seducing the villains father

I can't believe I'm saying this but a classic black magic witch is a unique villain in the manhwa world. During her introduction she's already causing mayhem by trying to kill Yerenica with black magic, and at first you'd think she's another "I want my hubbies affection!" Chick but no, she just wants to marry Erudian to have his child and use said child to avenge her family and destroy everything, characters are all frightened by her because she actually gets shit done instead of failing every minute of the day, and even after all that, she's allowed the privilege of life by getting a redemption arc.

#5: Cosette Weinberg- I was the real one.

She deserved so much better!! 😭 Cosette, my baby, you were set up to be such an amazing villain with high intelligence and well thought out plans, why did they have to give you the good old plot induced lobotomy! Girly wasn't just smart but there were actually times I could get behind Cosette. When Keira gave a maid 100 lashes after she insulted and wished death on Keira, it was Cosette who took advantage of an actual truth with only a little bit of exaggeration, they were both evil but only one of them was rightfully called out for it. Honestly just read the novel, the manhwa did it dirty.

#4: Marianne Edenverre- into the light again.

Nah someone get this baby to a church and give her the aggressive baptism 10 times over, I'll always be wondering how the hell did that 10 year old get her hands on a demon in the first place, the fact that the family never found her hiding behind a door or closet staring into their soul like a paralysis demon is surprising cause I imagine she would do that and be like "it's just me sillies, I would never mean to scare you 😛" she's a well written villainess who I wish would have a little bit more screentime but her powers and what she can do honestly confuses me (like that whole body-swap thing)

Final 3 everybody, you ready for this?

#🥉: the 3rd place medal goes to Dodolea Castor from My in laws are obsessed with me

Another real villainess, putting everyone off guard with her initial gacha life brat persona only to be hit in the face with disturbing levels of cruelty that can only match a psychopath, she looks straight out of an uncanny mr incredible meme with that light skin stare shes got. Straight up laughs at Therdeos trauma while being well aware that she tried to SA him and how it affected the poor guy and later proceeds to attempt to kill and later kidnaps his wife. There's no remorse, no regrets, just the souls of innocents behind those huge eyes.

#🥈 : the second place medal goes to Verta Alberhart from depths of malice.

She isn't even the antagonist, no that's the protagonist! And honestly, the only white lotus in the main lead spot I've ever read so far. And while she has a messed up backstory that explains why she's so bitter, she still full on embraces it. Vertas way of being granted a second chance isn't even because of some goddess or divine power, she just snatches the body of a suicidal noblewoman and wreaks havoc on all of the disgusting noblemen in her path. She cries on the court trial of her fiances murder while secretly laughing knowing she set the whole thing up and slowly ruins the life of anyone who fucked around and found out.

At long last, we reached #🏅, and the crown goes to none other than...

Rashta Ishka from the remarried empress!

Hear me out now, this isn't just me being biased. Rashta earns first place because even though she is rendered an idiot who's only use is being worse so everyone else can look good, she still managed to do something unfathomable. She earned the respect of a fandom that initially hated her with all the fiber of their being and now she has a growing fanbase of real people, not fictional characters, actual fans. People are literally turning on one of the most popular manhwas that started it all for its treatment of Rashta (because who would guess that people are uncomfortable with the fact that a former slave is the ultimate evil and not the guy who tortures people just for shit talking the FL) and even though there is still a big part of the fandom who despises her, she still lives in everyone's head rent free. The trashta meme is more well known than Navier as a character and her character arc will always be superior and far more interesting than everything else in the story, after all remarried empress did start to decline after her death.

Jesus christ this took so long, I had to do so much rereading and fact checking but it was worth it.

I've been wanting to draw some fanart for this fan fiction for awhile now! It's from Dereliction by @jellfishjellfish It's honestly my fav Trolls fan fic and I look forward to every new chapter! :)

[crowshuh]

you feel her touch. a gentle, persistent press against the bruised meat of your hindbrain.

as soft and damning as a mother.

i ♥️ heartbreak i think one of my favorite scenes from the games so far still is the heartbreak flashback from rebirth it’s so visceral. tho i was disappointed to learn that if you choose to fight back against the mental intrusion you get more insight into What happened whereas if you open yourself to it you immediately go to the gates memory…alas

the latter is dina’s choice (opens herself to heartbreak out of a yearning curiosity) and i tend to prefer it to the other option. the idea of willingly opening yourself to this thing whether out of curiosity or surrender is so appealing to me. to be someone who’s felt so thoroughly alone and separate from the world because of what you are, to find someone that feels so Startlingly similar to you and Feel them reaching out for you. Begging for that connection and intimacy… how could you not return it? How could you not throw open your arms and pull them into the caves of your chest without hesitation? (<- guy who is absolutely dying first in the psychological horror film)

how do i get the magnus, malevolent and silt verses enjoyers on speed dial about fathom/derelict. we have lesbian scientists. painful backstories. research stations in the ocean. we have good fathers. there’s corrupt businesses. and underwater vaults. and robots struggling with humanity. and spacecraft. and agent blayne first name agent last name blayne. and existential themes and—

so I've been reading Dereliction......

[modernistdelights]

Now derelict Williamson Power Station, Lancaster. Once used to supply power to the city's linoleum factory, it has more recently been used for illegally storing compacted waste, which set alight in December 2023. Following the days-long fire and the operation to extinguish it, it now stands mostly empty, fire-damaged but no less immense.

More information and pictures available on the Lancaster Civic Vision website, for those interested.

Do you ever catch yourself humming Mechs songs without realizing?

Yes and no. Most of the Mechs songs are riffing on existing folk tunes, sea shanties, trench songs, etc, because we all shared a deep love of that sort of music. Most of them were based on songs I already knew very well, and those songs still rattle around in my head pretty frequently, so while it's rare I find myself humming Mechanisms songs specifically, I will often be singing to myself the songs they come from. It's rare, for instance, that I find myself humming 'Cinders Song', but 'Haul Away Joe' is deep in my soul. It's unlikely I'll be singing 'Underworld Blues' to myself, but Geeshie Wiley's 'Last Kind Words' is a perennial favourite.
