#even the athykiel ones

[shxrry-blossom]

Honestly it's very funny for me to see how Athykiel's biggest argument is that Ijekiel loved Athanasia in two lives when in the novel (the original story) Ijekiel never loved Athy in two lives, instead, it was Lucas who was endgame with Athy in all dimensions lmao

why are there no fics where lp Jennette forces Athy to watch her consummate her wedding with Ijekiel. It would have been such a sexy Anastacius/Penelope/Claude parallel 💔

[sylver-drawer]

The Cruelty of Novel-Ijekiel’s Rejection.

Thinking about how in the past, novel readers conveyed that Ijekiel rejects Jennette as softly as he can while apologizing for hurting her, telling her he thought of her like a sister. Funny how that works. I proceeded to read said rejection scene, and it literally explains how blunt and cold he was to her, and how it sets up for the climax when she then reaches out to Claude in desperation.

Got a quick translation online, but in no way is this a soft and polite rejection. Was Jennette also harsh in telling him that Athy won’t reciprocate his feelings? Yes. However, what she spoke of was only the truth about Athy, and frankly her judgement of Athy’s behavior as Athy’s best friend—a best friend of the girl, who Ijekiel knows nothing about aside from short conversations. Athykiel does have moments in the novel (half of them with Jennette as the topic of conversation), but they don’t nearly have the closeness as the Athykiel moments in the manhwa. In response, Ijekiel is the one who throws a fit instead by responding in a way he knows will hurt Jennette the the most—apathy, before throwing all of his bottled up feelings at her and even going so far as to practically blame her for why they’ve ended up this way. We dive into Jennette’s psyche multiple times through the novel, and Jennette asks Ijekiel’s input a lot but you can tell that all she wanted was the truth from him—the truthful, unkind, and bitter Ijekiel. She tried to give him outs, to give him opportunities to tell her his true feelings instead of dodging around them for false kindness, but he never takes it. And then when she gives him a reality check—and right after he confesses his jealousy to Athy of her only talking about or asking for Jennette—he’s the one who snaps and dumps all of the bitterness inside of him onto her.

Jennette expected him to get mad, to be upset disgusted or show some kind of ugly emotion because that’s what she wanted from him all along—just the littlest bit of truth after dancing around with false smiles for years. But instead he’s cold, unfeeling, spouting out what was the result of pent up bitterness and jealousy recklessly, and they’re back to square one. He put up another facade while speaking a myriad of things he’s bit back whilst somehow managing to spin her words and blame her.

He speaks as if he was the one giving in, as if she was this child blissfully unaware as she was trampling on him, babying her even now but the truth is she’s an adult, and has been for quite a while. Perhaps he has been forcing himself to be kind to her, but he honestly believes that was suffering—that in his whole life, while getting to know the world and traveling and meeting friends from other countries and cultures that this little girl asking if he actually liked her, was suffering. He was no protector of hers—if the slightest chance arose, he quickly abandons her among jealous strangers or predatory men and gives away things she’s fond of for a woman he hardly knows. He thinks of Jennette as lucky, as a girl who’s had everything she’d want, and what of him? He, who was given freedom by his parents, opportunities to expand the knowledge he’s so proud of and to grow and learn—while she was locked inside a house that didn’t even belong to her. She receives dresses and presents she did not care for unless it was chosen by him, and he had the same luxury but thinks even less of it unless it’s a means to gain Athanasia’s fervor.

His rejection is cold and full of criticism of Jennette, yet he’s the exact same as her. They’ve been dealing with and exhausting over each other’s falsities, yet he can only see his own. Jennette lays it out, Athy will ignore you just as you ignore me. And he coldly bites back, I ignore you because you ignore me—not seeing that she ignores him exactly because he ignores himself. He held himself to standards no one had placed, forcing his emotions and his behavior in a way no one wished for. Jennette does not even wish for Ijekiel’s love when she tells this harsh truth to him, yet he assumes she is doing this because of so. In turn, he is also blaming her for everything—the reason why I forced myself into this corner, the reason why I’ve exhausted myself, the reason I cannot have Athanasia’s love, is all your fault. Even though Athanasia accepting Lucas’ advances was of her own accord, even though he was the one continuing to uphold that false mask of kindness she easily saw through, even though these feelings had been bottling up for ten years and no one but himself stopped him from conveying them to her before he had gotten to this festering point—he makes it Jennette’s fault.

He rendered Jennette into a vulnerable position, by doing exactly what he had done in the past. He spoke words of, under normal circumstance, would sound like presenting equality: “let bygones be bygones”, “we’re two people”, “I’ve hurt you only because you’ve been hurting me”—such phrases, you could almost call kind. Yet he is repeating exactly what he had done before—speaking ‘kind’ words while upholding a mask, rending said kindness useless. As the words flowed from his lips, in reality he was taking away any semblance of standing on equal footing by upholding that unfeeling mask while venting his frustrations onto her, blaming her for ending up like this. Jennette isn’t a fool, she hasn’t been for a while now so she can see the underlying messages he’s trying to convey—that there is no future, no equality, no way to finally open up with the truth and their true selves. He will leave her there, abandoning her, alone with the same kind mask as before while spouting cruel words.

That is not kindness, nor whatever neutrality he framed he was offering—this is cruelty. And he knows it.

Hi, I heard that the donghua Athy will have prophetic dreams instead of being a reincarnated person and that Lucas will probably remain in his adult form all the time( I hope this is not true I want to see baby Lucas but considering the first pv, i think it will probably be true, hopefully not). I fear that their dynamic will change and Lucas is gonna catch pe*o allegations now 😭 even though they were two adults pretending to be kids.

The first thing is pretty much confirmed, going by the donghua's summary, but the details are unclear. I don't know if the "LP timeline" was only a vision or something more, it's too early to tell. As for Lucas only staying in his adult form, I don't know what makes you/people think that?

Lucas was introduced in his adult form in the novel and manhwa, and he is wearing the same outfit in the PV, so it seems to me that that'll be his introduction scene. I guess we'll have to see if he keeps his younger form, but the donghua's summary confirms that they will fall in love, so I doubt the chinese team will suddenly make it weird? (Especially when chinese media is heavily censored, which is likely the reason the plot was adapted to be less violent). Let's also remember that Lucas used his adult form multiple times in the manhwa, so if people disliked that, um, it's nothing new?

I know you mean no harm, but part of me feels like I shouldn’t even address this possible "discourse" because it's way too dumb. Some people have called novel and manhwa lucathy problematic before, for multiple reasons, all of them idiotic, so I'm sure they'll find a reason to dislike the donghua version too. I don't care, and you shouldn’t either.

We should just cancel Claude for the 1000th time.

Almost all isekai/time travel manhwa have an odd aspect since more often than not the protagonist is (mentally) way older than her love interest. No matter what, that's an element the writer can't avoid, but I think lucathy is one of the few pairings where this doesn't happen, because of their circumstances (Lucas slept for centuries so his body's age and his mental age are very different, plus he is a magician. There's no reason to think this will be different in the donghua. And Athy has her whole reincarnation thing. We'll see how that plays out.). Despite all of this, you have no one calling athykiel or other manhwa ships (I could give plenty of examples but I'd rather not) problematic because Athy/the FL is (at least) a (mentally) 30+ yo woman thinking a teenager is attractive. That's because manhwas are not that serious. Unless we are talking about the Princess Mint one. That one was weird and I don't like it.

[sssusuki]

Okay but no actually. Athykiel is so Enemies to Lovers coded. Or at least Academic Rivals to Lovers. I've only been able to read the Manhwa, but seeing their interactions, especially in their younger years, just. Exudes that energy. JUST IMAGINE. Athy and Ijekiel constantly competing, even after the time skip. During the dance, instead of Athy being uncomfortable they just keep questioning each other on their knowledge of various topics. I would find that so hilarious as they are dancing so gracefully. Everybody is head over heels with their beauty while the two in question are at one another's throats. The moment Athy sees him again after his overseas study she is immediately on him on what languages he has learned and what she has done more of. Athy and Ijekiel looking like they are having a polite conversation when in reality they are so passive aggressive it's funny. Ijekiel teasing her by perhaps almost leaning in for a kiss before pushing himself away and asking a question on the paper she is doing (I'm delulu). Ijekiel falling first but having so much denial that this is the person he likes due to the whole Jennette scenario (she did nothing wrong), but also the fact that this is the girl that he has been competing against since day one when he thought she was an angel the day she rejected his/his father's offer to hangout because he wasn't smart enough. Ijekiel fell first but I can definitely see Athy falling harder. Just. I want to see their banter and fun conversations and teasing that we only got to see towards the end. They are both such sweethearts and they deserve a little silliness. They deserve to have the pining and rivalry that all Academic Rivals to Lovers get. Just. Ashsjshksbjsmks

Fated Meeting

They have the cutest first meet cute and you’re expecting me to not ship them?

[lithi]

I’m pretty sure I’ve already said it but I do think that while manhwa!Lucas did say he would destroy the world if anyone were to kill Athy + that everyone says he would follow Claude’s path (killing everyone + freezing his heart + erasing his memories), I don’t think Lucas would actually do it?? Because yeah Claude and Lucas are really, really similar (in their back stories + personalities) but also (novel!)Lucas promised himself that he would never end like his master (not being able to stand his loved ones’ deaths) but also because that’s just not how he is. When the Athykiel dimension!Athy chose Ijekiel, Lucas never did something about it (like Claude did when Diana chose to give birth over living with him) and Athy doesn’t even seem aware of his feelings for her. He just accepted that was how things were going to be and silently stayed by her side (even telling her that after all, he is her only friend and telling himself that she would forever be his special someone) and respected her choice (he didn’t even try to pick a fight with Ijekiel like everyone would expect him to) but also also because Lucas just wants to do what Athy wants him to or would want him to because he always has her best interest in mind (in the novel, asking lily and Felix to keep an eye on her so that she doesn’t spend too much time with blackie, getting the world tree’s branch for her and Claude, giving her Nox, in the manhwa helping her with the ritual, sparing Anastasius, saying sorry to Aeternitas, etc etc etc etc) and wants to respect her wishes and opinions (see for example the fact that even after ALL novel!Aeternitas did he didn’t kill him). Also in the very improbable and hypothetical situation that Athy dies during childbirth, I very highly doubt that he’d ever resent their child given that 1) it’s his child 2) it’s Athy’s child 3) it’s their baby (in the novel) 4) he knows how much Athy suffered because of Claude’s actions and wouldn’t repeat them 5) he was also resented and isolated as a child because of accidentally hurting a family member (his older brother) as a baby and knows first hand of unfair that kind of treatment is and *someone duck tapes my mouth shut* MGTMRNMMMh…..

All he wanted in this world was for her highness to look his way.

No, that was a bit wrong.

What he actually wanted was for her highness to stop giving those pesky, good for nothings the time of day and to realize that he was the best pick.

He wanted to be able to press his lips upon the back of her hand, to feel the warmth of her skin slide against his, to be able to hold her so close to him that he could encircle the entirety of her waist in his embrace- to hear her sweet, tempting cries in the night-ah.

He couldn't help but hold the stem of the glass a little too tight and thinks back to when he first met her in the corridor of the palace.

Right then and there he had wanted to ask for her hand in marriage, but he knew his family wasn't on the best of terms with his majesty.

His father was always pressing for him to choose a fianceé, Jennette looked up at him with hopeful eyes, and he turns away from her, pretending he didn't know what she meant when she tugs at his sleeve.

The taste of wine on his lips meant nothing when her highness was so far away. He could still remember the scent of roses when she stood close to him in the library as he held a book in his hands, her hair swaying in the breeze, dust highlighted in the golden light of the sun.

She was always so polite. He adored that about her, but still. He wanted her to call him by his name. How would it sound upon her lips, "Ijekiel."

To be able to call her by her name- "..."

He couldn't say it in his head even now, but still, instead of her highness, he wanted one day to pass the drawn line of courtesy and into familiarity, to love in her voice.

How troublesome. How irksome. How...he wanted to get rid of all the things that were blocking his path to be with her.

He didn't want to wish any misfortune upon her but if she could just take a little fall, for him, oh, how thin her ankles looked from afar- he would dash in and support her with all he had, just so she would be able to be right in his sight.

He hated the flies that buzzed around her every second and wanted nothing more than to be able to use magic to fling them out the arched windows spanning the ballroom. To mangle their bodies until their own families wouldn't be able to tell who they were.

Every potential marriage suitor that had a higher rank than him was unnerving in his eyes. Wishing he could get a rank from achievements on the battlefield was useless when they weren't at war, and he graduated top of his class at the academy but would that be enough?

He hated saying that word. Enough. Nothing about him should be enough for her, he should be perfect in order to be her perfect half. Her one and only.

He would give her everything of himself, with no hesitation in his heart. He would pluck it from his chest should she lay beside him for eternity.

Would use silk ribbons to bind her hands behind her back so he could watch her squirm on their bed until he planted kisses along her back. Would drip red wax over her stomach until she cried for him to stop.

Would interlace their fingers together and watch her sleep at night to make sure she wouldn't try to leave while he slept.

If he could have her all to himself, he would live in a dream until his world died out.

He loved all of her.

He loved her.

He loves her with his whole being.

His.

HishishishishisHISHISHISHISHIS!

Ah- he loves her so much, everything else could burn.

Who's to say, love at first sight, was a lie when he himself was the living embodiment?

At the same time, Athanasia is staring at Ijekiel from the corner of her eye, with the barest ripple in those gem depths as she curls her fingernails into the soft flesh of her palm.

She wanted to caress his hair and twist the silvery strands in her fingers with all the gentleness she could muster. She wanted him to be blindfolded, settled back against silk sheets as she rained down kisses upon flushed skin.

She narrowed her eyes, just a hint of what lay hidden rearing up as she released the pressure on her palm to reveal the deep red crescents about to bear blood.

The Alpheus family had always been so... wealthy. What would happen if she were to take that away?

Athanasia's smile is bright as she entertains a guest, thinking of how desperate Ijekiel might become, perhaps enough to beg for her help in recovering his family's honor.

He would only be able to rely on her then.

She would just bring about...ruin, when it was least expected. She would make him hers.

She was the angelic princess who was perfect in his eyes. Of course, he loved her. If he didn't love her back then what was the point of letting him stay here in Obelia?

So close to her?

If he tried to leave with another girl, she didn't know what she would do. Not really.

Would she drag him back to her side by threatening his father? His place in society? Would she gag him to make sure he would never say anything to her, even if she wouldn't be able to hear his wonderful voice anymore?

Would she chain his legs and feet together so he wouldn't be able to do anything else but look at her? Would she risk crippling him to make sure no one else could have him? That no one else...would ever want him, besides her?

Then, would he know that he was indispensable to her? That he was her only? That he could never escape from her gaze because she would hold his chain in her hands and whisper to him how much she loved his everything?

What could possibly go wrong when courting true love?

Till death did them part, they think to themselves. And perhaps an eternity after their lives have ended too.

[r0se-street]

let's talk about athy and ijekiel.

has anyone else realised how sad this ship between athanasia and ijekiel actually is?? I was listening to The One that Got Away on spotify and realised that this song suited them so well, Ijekiel loved Athy for two lifetimes but never got her, and there's the lyrics be us against the world, because it seriously does feel like the world is against them being together e.g. there's Lucas, the whole Anastasius arc and they both come from noble/royal families.

in the bridge, there's also i should have told you what you meant to me, cause now i pay the price. In "Lovely Princess", even though Ijekiel loved her, he didn't show it nor did he try and protect her and so Athy ended up being executed by Claude. Now in the second lifetime, it feels like he's come to accept it, because this is his "price" for not showing how much she meant to him. Of course, he doesn't remember the first timeline but it still kinda tears me up.

the same goes for other second male leads in webtoons, they loved the female lead but never got a chance. you don't even have to ship athykiel to know how sad and heartbreaking this is :(

if you've managed to read up to here, thankyou for coming to my ted talk.

That Time The World Exploded

The events before Obelia went BOOM! With a side of angsty Athykiel, because yes.

Word Count: 492

Tw: Mentions of Suicide, Murder, Threat of Murder, Whatever you'd call obelia getting blown up, ghosts

Ijekiel stared at the ring in his hand the day of his marriage, thinking of a girl with flowing blonde hair and a smile like a thousand rays of sunshine. Today was the day he’d marry Jennette and become Prince Consort. His father was ecstatic at the notion of the instant elevation of status, but Ijekiel himself was still thinking of her. Emperor Claude’s first daughter had died a year ago today, as had his heart. Athanasia had been the love of his life, but she was gone for good now, up with the stars. Her name meant immortal, and yet she was far from it. She was his first love and his last, and he’d give anything to be marrying her instead right now.

   But no. He was marrying her sister instead, the girl he’d lived with since they were both tiny children. She loved him, he could tell, and he wasn’t sure he could say no to her at this point even if he tried. After Athy’s death, Jennette had thrown herself into wedding planning as if she could drown out the pain. Not to mention their fathers, both one of whom was very enthusiastic about what this would mean for him, and the other who was killing anyone who even looked at him the wrong way these days. He had considered killing himself before the wedding, he was so desperate not go through with it.

  All this ran through his head as the priest read through his lines nearly robotically, until a sharp voice cut through.

“Hurry up or you’ll suffer the same fate as the last person who disobeyed me.” The Emperor leveled a stone cold glare at the priest who promptly rushed through his line at the speed of light. Athanasia. The emperor was talking about Athanasia. She seemed to follow him everywhere these days, an invisible ghost haunting his every thought. It had been like this when she was living, but now there was an edge of sadness to every thought, a tinge of regret, even though there was nothing he could do.

“Ijekiel Alpheus, do you hereby take Princess Jennette de Alger Obelia as your lawfully wedded wife?”

He knew his lines, and yet he hesitated. He wasn’t married yet. He could still back out now, couldn’t he?

No.

“I-”

Everything got uncomfortably hot as he looked up to the sky to see it an ugly motley of orange and red. That was when the sky exploded.

.

.

.

“Ijekiel?” Athanasia turned to the newcomer. No, it wasn’t his time yet, he shouldn’t be here, and yet… There he was.

“A-Athy?” His eyes widened as he were seeing her for the first time. Before she could question herself she threw herself into his arms.

“You have no idea how much I missed you.”

“And I you.”

The two stood like that for a while, lovers embracing eachother for the first time since death.

I really hope wmmap is that timeline where Athykiel is canon

[sylver-drawer]

OH MY GOD YES THAT SCENE!!!

I was shocked when I read the scene of Rosalia’s death/Jen unable to attend her funeral. In the Manhwa, Athy is immediately sympathetic likely because of her own and very recent estrangement from Claude at the time. But in the novel, it’s her first time seeing Jennette in a while (in contrast to the manhwa where they had exchanged letters frequently before she was on the run, Athy stayed in Arlanta and merrily befriended Hari for quite a bit), when she sees Jen grieving and lamenting on how she’s unable to bid goodbye to the only remnant of her mother, Lee Jihye’s reaction is “thank god it’s her and not me” before pitying Jen almost halfheartedly and visiting her. Like hello? I thought it was weird because immediately after, the two had super cute bonding scenes so I thought I was imagining it but no.

And I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed the noble girls being weirdly aggressive when it came to Jen. Jen’s magic was explicitly said in the novel to reflect her deepest desires, that in being loved so her magic tries to garner other’s attention and caring instincts. And yet, whenever she interacts with the noble girls, she’s always almost met with the cliche passive aggressive remarks? I mentioned that there’s an odd amount of a lot of Athykiel scenes, which is only odd because they served no narrative purpose. Athy ends up with Lucas, and I don’t stress that as a reader who knows the spoilers and future. Athy herself seemed to show no interest in Ijekiel when a lot of her moments with him take place, and she even admits this that while she loved him in the past she got rid of those feelings before they could seriously bloom (which was pre time skip of two years). So her dessert date with Ijekiel (which happens RIGHT AFTER THE SHOE SCENE with Jennette) served no purpose, if only to set up more seeds of jealousy in Jennette (who wasn’t even aware of Ijekiel leaving her for a stranger until the tea party noble girls brought it up). Athy’s narrative over Jennette’s crush on Ijekiel always had an undertone of sneakiness. “Oh look at how her cheeks flush with joy”. She also compares Jennette’s blushy feelings for Ijekiel in the shoe scene to when Felix fixes her shoe in a hunting event after, which is like…? Not the same at all? And almost dismissing Jennette’s affections, comparing it so something trifle as being treated like a lady?

It definitely feels like Athy has remnants of her crush on Ijekiel though, because there are weird moments where she actively avoids ‘seeing’ Jennette and Ijekiel’s possible affection despite the amount of times Athy internally monologues on how excited she is for its development. When Ijekiel’s jacket is over Jen’s shoulders during the hunting event, and Athy makes a conscious note not to look in her direction which felt weird…? And this scene is right before Athy compares Jen’s crush to the feeling of Felix fixing her own shoe as a princess and servant.

And back to the point about Athy sitting back and letting the girls go head to head with Jennette, there’s a scene where a girl questions why Jen has to bring Ijekiel when looking for her lost item (it’s in flowery passive text that doesn’t actively jab at Jen, but you can see that she’s implying Jen is almost selfish or spoiled for seeking Ijekiel’s help/attention?). Jen is obviously confused and Athy’s string of thought makes the reader believe Jen is making Ijekiel help her because of her crush. However, it seemed to me more of that Jen wanted to simply do something with her own body and will, and that both Athy and the noble girl were making a big deal out of something simple. I think Athy herself saw Jennette’s true and simple reason, because she notes how they’re both misunderstanding each other (which would mean Athy knew Jen wasn’t making Ijekiel help her because of her crush, which is what the noble girl was implying too). Despite this, Athy doesn’t defend Jen at all, but instead takes the easier approach of ending the matter entirely and changing the subject.

I remember a line from Athy about how Lovely Princess was filled with jealousy, and god she couldn’t be more right. You have to read between the lines, but both Athy/Lee Jihye’s demeanor and the Noble Girls are almost always contradicting Jen’s desires while praising/complimenting Athy’s. When the line came up originally, I was led to believe that Jen was supposed to be the one leading the acts of jealousy between her and the other girls, but after reading it’s painfully obvious that it’s the opposite.

Oh we are hating on the wmmap novels today? I found Athy (Lee Jihye) to be oddly mean in the novels. There were multiple instances where Jennette was uncomfortable, sad, being targeted or about to be embarrassed and Athy aknowledges she could have helped her but chose not to. If I remember correctly once at the tea party the girls were trying to get under her skin because of her relationship with Ijekiel and how it would have been sorta incest even though cousin marriage is legal in Obelia (nevermind that they are only pretending to be second cousins and all nobles are distantly related anyway) and it was very apparent these girls were just trying to prick her with their words but Athy leaned back and watched without intervening with the excuse that Jennette has to learn how to defend herself.

There was also a Jennette/Ijekiel date scene where Jennette was stuck with her heel somewhere and Athy thinks to herself how Jennette would have to take off her shoes in public and would embarass herself. She thinks how she could have easily helped her with magic but instead she hides and watches (thankfully Ijekiel kneels down and helps her.) These are such small and subtle scenes but piled up they paint a much meaner picture of Athy. When you know you have the power to help a friend and it would cost you absolutely nothing, wouldn't even be more than a sentence or the flick of a hand but you instead chose to watch them embarass themselves then you are a dick. It also makes wmmap Athy a hypocrite for getting mad about the girls in The Lovely Princess talking shit about the og Athy when in her current universe there's a girl in a similar position and she prefers to be a spectator rather then giving her a helping hand. I think Athy secretly likes it when Jennette is unhappy and Jennette becoming something pitiful in her eyes is the only way she can love her because that way she doesn't feel threatened in her position and can feel better about herself when she choses to comfort her. Athy feels jealous over the smallest good things that are happening in Jennette's life that weren't there because of her.

As someone who doesn’t really, ship, characters in WMMAP (I always saw it as a family type manwha), I’m once again reminded how LucaJen is so disliked for no reason. My friends are pretty avid shippers, so I’ve come to find it cute.

A lot of people in the fandom seem to shit on people who ship LucaJen and Athykiel though. Which is honestly super disappointing? When both of their dynamics are pretty cute. Most often then not though, it’s because they’re not ‘canon’, whatever that means in the context of WMMAP (the amount of times I’ve seen Lucathy shippers under Athykiel fanart to put it down or invalidate it is kinda disgusting).

After all, since when did shipping ever have to do with being canon? The whole point is to adore the relationship between people who could have been together at any point in time (hell, one of my favorite couples in my story came to be because they were a crackship. Some ships are of people who aren’t even in the same universe). The novel even confirms that in another timeline, Athy DOES get with Ijekiel, meaning it is canon.

Honestly, really hoped Athy didn’t end up with anyone. At the very least, I wanted her to interact with more people her age and not just the two boys that ferociously court her. A girl’s options are never just one or two. I mean, she’s a princess and future empress? She deserves someone who loves not only her, but the empire she loves too in all its entirety (and not someone who tries to get her away from her work, and could care less about the empire unless she’s in it).

Highlights of today’s writing:

—Okay!!! So there was a VC stream today at orvcord and that somehow gave me a boost to write!! After the writing block I have been feeling... :’) Wasnt really writing block, but Y’know just busy with school and exam TT

—+240 words to the wmmap athy time travel wip. I already have a vision on how this is going to go, still remember it clearly from before. It was originally a fic I had written in mind but then got motivated to put on paper!!! Though I wish that I actually did write notes or anything, because I am pretty sure I forgot some stuff 😭Anyways yeahhh I think I will work more on it later in the day! Hopefully. Need to check up, how the ever heck you write people drowning. ‘Coz I’m completely lost on that

—Also edited the Athykiel wip! Yikes, this one was...really wordy. So I cut down on a lot is stuff that I didn’t need at all. Little iffy with this wip. It doesn’t quite have that spark. Just BLERGH. I hate the way I wrote it

—+99 words to the Liliana wip! I do love this one and wanttt to write it. But. Urgh. It’s just Not working right now. Gonna try and edit it somewhere during today. For now, I did a bullet point this of continuation for me to work with. I just do that more, it helps greatly. I didn’t realise ‘till now.

—+80 words to the Draco&scorpius wip! Heckkk I think I am close to finish. YES. Writing this one has been lottsss of fun. I adore them so much. Dad!Draco is e v e r y t h i n g. Debating on the draco/nerville thing. not feeling them anymore, lol. But aww I liked that ending line I had in mind.

—+8 words to the sanghee crangst wip. Mannn, this one is hard to write but IM DETERMINED TO FINISH IT.

—FINALLY GOT THAT MOTIVATION BACK TO WRITE IN THE WMMAP FANDON SO OF COURSE IMMEDIATELY OPENED THAT LILY AND FELIX WIP!!!! Because heck I have been wanting to write for so long god.

—Added 84 words! Not much since, lol, I only had a single line in it. But godddd, ITS PROGRESS. And I’m having so much about these two, about this wip. 😭😭

—+70 words on the Touken bite wip. Urgh. I don’t really have an ending in mind for this wip??? So it’s hard to continue it, literally crawling so slow here. I need to think of an ending but my mind is just....blank. It’s a plot/plotless fic, and just about reminisce stuff and Kaneki being a sap. It feels finished when it isn’t at all

....Hey, what if I ship to Touka’s POV??? Now that’s an idea.

—+11 words to the khr prompt wip. progress!! I am really fascinated by tyl!Tsuna and it’s really cool trying to explore this way. it’s just....taking a bit longer to put the stuff in words. since I have a lot thoughts and they are all...over the place. I want to also reread parts of the arc, because my memory is a bit iffy.

—Omg, I think I hit a breakthrough in my Tokyo ghoul orv au. Originally was just planning to have this no ghouls AU....but that’s no fun, so....I thought what if I still keep the ghouls thing??? It would so cool! And I had an idea on what to do with Rize. Rize as the wenny!king is just....heart eyes... I need to really properly brainstorm this but. That’s for later.

—+165 words to the athy time travel wip. Worked on it again! Sort of evening, instead of afternoon lol. OH GOSH I CANT WITH THIS WIP IT HURTS SO MUCH. 😭 Also about the drowning scene, after rereading through and tweaking lil stuff...I think....it’s fine??

—WAS JUST ONLY GET TO GO AND READ THROUGH THE YJH REGRESSION WIP AGAIN BUT....I ended up writing working on it.

—+55 words to the wip. They have interacted and exchanged words!! Holy shit. Never expected this wip to be this interesting. (Still to reread that arc again....)

—+76 words to the Khr 1827 wip au???? I wrote??? Hibari pov that I actually liked??? NO IDEA where this came from

[myearts-uwu]

Thinking about that one reader I had around last year iirc where they were the most obnoxious Jennette hater you can imagine. Seriously. They were openly cussing whenever Jennette speaks in my react fic and they make it really obvious that they loathe the girl.

Even though I made it clear that I love Jennette and the fic isn’t a Jennette bashing fic. And if you know me, you know that I could not tolerate Jennette slander, especially to that extent.

But anyway, they stopped and apologised because apparently the account owner’s little sister was the one who’s using their account to hate on Jennette in my fic. And even though they did apologise to me... I don’t know why but I can’t trust that person. Especially because they used the little sibling reason on me because sometimes people use that reason even though it’s false.

I feel bad because I do want to believe that it really is the little sister’s fault but at the same time... man...

Also, I think the same account had dm’ed me about why I ship Athykiel. And then they proceed to list down the reasons why they ship Lucathy and that already makes me uncomfortably because it’s pretty obvious that they’re pushing their lucathy ship to me.
