#idk why i just cant imagine maddie holding a grudge

[speaking-riddlish]

Why does everyone just... trust Courtly Jester all of a sudden??? Like, what is this??

[ID: A screenshot of a scene in the castleteria. On one side of the table sits Raven and Lizzie, with Duchess at the end of the table, and Courtly on the other side. Raven and Lizzie are waving at Courtly and smiling. Duchess looks bored. Courtly is talking directly into the camera and looks happy. \EndID]

Like, Raven and a Lizzie are just... having lunch with her?? Did that epic battle mean nothing to you? This lady tried to kill you??? And Lizzie, this is the lady who tried to overthrow your mother and steal your destiny?? What are you doing!?

[ID: A screenshot in the Mad Hatter's Haberdashery and Tea Shop, at a table is, from left to right, Alastair, Courtly, Maddie, and Bunny. All are seated except Maddie, who is standing and pouring tea for Courtly. \EndID]

At least Maddie had some excuse here, since she works at this tea shop and has to be nice to a paying customer, but also, what? You literally had to seek the narrators intervention to break out of the prison this lady put you in??? This is your family's tea shop??? Kick her out of the establishment!! Why hasn't Maddie's *dad* kicked Courtly out at least???

[ID: A screenshot of a scene in the Multi Hex Theater. In the middle of the frame, Sparrow, Courtly, and Kitty are walking together in a group, presumably having just seen a movie together. /EndID]

And Kitty! You went and saw a movie with her??? You actively chose to hang out with her? She put in place measures to counteract your powers, locked you in a mock turtle's dungeon, and tried to steal your best friend's destiny! You're literally so loyal to Lizzie that you'll drop Duchess as a friend for slighting her, but someone tries to usurp her mother, steal her destiny, coerce her into signing her inheritance away, ect, and you go to the movies with them???!??!

What are they doing? Why is she walking free? Why are they *okay* with her walking free? They should be fighting this??

(In case it wasn't clear, the tone of this is supposed to be light hearted. I'm jokingly mad at the characters, not genuinely mad at the writers)
