Y’know what? I really empathise with Rashta. She was a literal slave who saw an out of a hopeless situation and ran with it. People who don’t like her for being a home wrecker honestly have no morality. SHE WAS A SLAVE. FOR A CRIME SHE DIDNT COMMIT AS WELL. IT WAS HER DAMN DAD. And every single person in her life was using her, she really had no one to rely on.

I know quite a few people share this opinion, and then some of turn around and hate on Navier for not abolishing slavery. Like? That’s so stupid.

She was a childless empress who had been on the throne for three years. What time frame are you giving her to abolish slavery? It’s just not going to happen because she needs to secure her position with a child while also managing government affairs and creating allies.

It wasn’t like she was hateful towards Rashta either, she understood to a certain extent of her position and always tried to help.

People always blame Rashta and Navier for each other’s positions when neither were at fault.

And if I remember correctly, Navier abolished slavery later on in the novel. (Idk if that’s true, I read a machine translated version in like 2021, I could be misremembering). And I’m fairly certain it happen.

If you want someone to blame I nominate Sovieshu, the actual emperor and person with most power. Who, despite having a loving, powerful wife chose to bring an uneducated slave as a concubine because he was insecure.

Rashta did what she had to do to survive, and I’ll never blame her for that. Navier also had every right to be upset with her cheating husband, idc if it was a norm back then.

long rant:

as funny as it is to go 'hey that sketch i made spontaneously at 3am in 10 minutes suddenly got a bajillion likes' it's also massively disheartening

why bother putting in effort when almost always, it's my lowest effort posts that end up receiving attention somehow

it's been years since i last drew/animated something i was genuinely proud of as a result - at this point i'm genuinely terrified of putting my all into a drawing or animation because when it inevitably flops in comparison to a doodle that took me 10 minutes, i know i'll be crushed

putting this drawing here because it's the thing i'm most proud of and i'm still wounded from the 3 likes it got back in 2023 when i posted it on my old account (this is what fueled this rant bshahah)

[silliestbutch]

Reading lesbian and sapphic literature is sometimes so alienating because honestly speaking, 96% of the essays and memoirs I found, as well as queer theory, do not even consider the possibility of butch4butch, or worse, just mention it as a cursory afterthought (I think maybe the "Faggot Butch" essay in S. Bear Bergman's Butch is a Noun, 2006, is the closest that comes to speaking of the erasure of butch4butch):

Most of the so-called sapphic classics are either butch femme or femme4femme. Same with Japanese yuri and Korean manwha��God, I have lots to say about the lack of butch representation in modern GL, except for like maybe one or two stories, some of which are fetishizing representations. Definitely no butch4butch anywhere. Its either butches as animalistic savage masculinized women of color, or butches as predatory older women. And that's to not even speak of contemporary western romance and publishing.

Pictured here: My Date is a Total Ike Woman (manga) by natuo mutsumi, Asahi to Satsuki (manga) by fujita, The Girl I hated (manwha) by Ownte, Renai Idenshi xx (manga) by Taishi Zaou

It's just unfair of me, I know, but I zone out so badly whenever a queer theorist discusses butchness and butch identity exclusively in tandem with our relationship to femmes. I do think that butch-femme history is intertwined, inextricably so, and I love my femme comrades, sisters, and lovers, but damn, I don't think butches should be defined by our attraction to femmes, or even our need for femmes as some sort of essential step to self fulfilment. A lot of us are attracted to other butches. Sometimes exclusively, sometimes not.

And also, has anybody noticed that butch4butch stories in publishing are almost always short form online content, maybe oneshot stories, or a novella, or an afterthought addition to a collection? It's either that or a story will be exclusively based in some sort of "lesbian-normative universe" with fifty sapphic characters, and yet, all twenty five butches will be neatly stacked up like forks and spoons with twenty five femmes, with an alternative not even considered; all the butch relationships will be just platonic bros. I have been struggling to maintain the butch4butch database with almost no new stories out.

I don't know, I guess I'm just irritated, sad and unmotivated. As it were, I'm not white and don't live in the West, so butch4butch isn't even a thing I have gotten to experience in my home country and our queer literature, what little there is of it. If you have butch4butch stories and OCs please always tag me. I'll make sure to give them a shoutout.

as much as i love Dohwa, it would be weird if he actually ends up with Sooae in the end.

his love for Sooae has been purely one sided, so it wouldn’t feel genuine if she suddenly starts to like him after things don’t work out with Eunhyuk—because he randomly turned out to be a bad guy??

perhaps if Eunhyuk showed signs of being a jerk in the very beginning through foreshadowing, then a relationship switch wouldn’t be surprising. but up until now, Eunhyuk and Sooae seemed like the perfect pairing.

no hate to the author, or any of these characters. i love this story! i’m just addressing some of the speculation going on.

[aspenous]

Korean Manwha has such a issue with same face/body syndrome when it comes to women it aint funny anymore 😭

[aria0fgold]

Wait, okay. It's still about The Cursing of Château Castle but something I realized is that Pierre-Jacques-Erneste isn't referred to with a title. Joséphandre was always referred to as Lord before the whole reveal at the end where he wasn't even a prince or someone with a high status, he was Just a Guy so both the npc and Mira dropped the title. Another character that's been named in the series has a title, Lady Irene-Janine-Karine and was said to be a good character.

Pierre-Jacques-Erneste destroyed his castle as a self-sacrifice to save Joséphandre in Issue #68 so that means he has a castle, but isn't even referred to with the title of Lord even during his first appearance in Issue #10. So my theory is that Pierre-Jacques-Erneste is the unwanted illegitimate child of his family and was never treated as nobility so his initial goal in joining Joséphandre is to gain that status of nobility he was robbed from and to bask in the fame of someone hailed as a hero that was largely known by the people as one with a high status.

But because of the journey, he came to question his very goals so in the end, when faced with the choice of choosing between his castle and his friend, Pierre-Jacques-Erneste chose his friend over a castle that didn't and won't acknowledge him as being a part of it. He had to fight tooth and nail just to gain his place in a castle that only saw him as a "trash," and yet he was welcomed in Joséphandre's party and even found a better place to belong to in it.

Yeah,it's gotten bad. So,it turns out ahhh,we are supporting the wrong side. We can hate rashtas actions but not her reasons because whoo boy,it's a lot. Navier becames unlikeable in season 2 and 3. Heinry,is a piece of crud,ergi is a toxic manipulative piece of crap,Kaufman is creepy same with sovieshu who is a whole ass idiotic and an idiot. It turns out : Heinly killing Duke Zimensia by torturing the man himself, without giving the duke any trial. Later massacred the whole dukedom including innocent people. And as usual he didn't face any consequences for it.

Lotteshu iterally lied to make Rashta look guilty. Besides I've better things to do, like what to do with this promissory note? In the past, Rashta gave it to Baron Lante to use it under her name. That backfired during her trial. It was such an unnecessary move from the charity board. The author had to make sure Rashta got slam dunked by every angle. Navier couldn't come forward with the allegation because of Kosair's attempted poisoning to Rashta's child and she covered for her baby killer brother. So author found a way to make Rashta's crime come to light through the director of the charity board. It's all fine and dandy when people who support MC, attempt to murder unborn children but it's bad when Rashta gave the money to charity under her name. She needed to be publicly shamed for it too, where kosair's sin never came to light. No wonder he got along well with the psycho named Heinley. Birds of same feathers flock together.

Also,if you're very supported Alan,please don't because Alan is disgusting and a slaver like his father. It turns out he's the one who literally entrapped rashta in this so called student x teacher marriage and the fact he was sympathize by a lot of those toxic happy readers because he's a good man. He is not a good man,he is a disgusting grapist. Turns out having sexual intercourse with a slave is basically grape(r*PE censored word). Also,if you wanna say rahsta is in the wrong,yeah she is but she's basically done those to survive. Not to mention,it's clearly normal for royal people to take in concubines,what sovieshu did wrong is always treating rashta like a child because he can't handle communication. Not to self,rashta is literally younger so take that as a word. Also,please note the claims she abandoned her child are wrong,she didn't know her son was still alive and she gave birth to him when she was very very young. Too young like maybe 13 or 18 at the time.

Wanna know the whole story,read this fic because it entails a lot of what's wrong with remarried empress:

OH

MY

GODDDD

Did they get a new writer or something cause AIN'T NO WAY- There's literally so much to unpack here i can't even- not Navier becoming unlikable- I literally hate those types of mcs- and I guess Rashta is a victim now??? Crazy-

Thanks for the warning- if I ever start reading it again (which I probably won't tbh) I'll do a rant post about it

[nelkey]

Can I ramble to any of you in dms about orv???🙏

I'm currently reading it, and I have some friends (who are also on tumblr) who are reading it too but I'm way ahead of them and I don't wanna spoil them too much. It would be really fun to talk to another person who has read it!!!!

☆Yandere platonic shoto and goro x isekai reader☆ headcanons

Well this is fucking great! You just had to get hit by a fucking truck and die! Just smooth. You've always been a fan of manwha your personal new favorite love murder basketball. I know cringey name am I right? But you enjoyed it not for the sex but the overall characters because well you got daddy issues okay!

But you didn't expect to actually be transfered into the manwha and as the youngest student at college! I guess you really were fucking smart huh? Only 17 and already I'm college with the big leagues hehe. You should feel giddy but your more intimidated than anything. The person in this body before you really had to work there way up to prove themselves. You have your own job and everything!

But your only goal is to not get involved in the plot in any way because it will get bloody especially being involved with shoto and all.

But stupid you just had to forget something in the gym and you accidentally ran into him while he was carrying the waters. This of course catches goros attention andbyhe rest of the basketball players as they rush over to help. You rub you head in annoyance and look at shoto whose already looking at you with a strange look you shrug it off and apologize quickly and grab your stuff and rush out of the gym.

You hate it how you look and are younger than everyone in this stupid college curse your smarts and the worst part is you work at a cafe that shoto likes! And you sadly find this out later in the week when goro and shoto come in toorder something and you work at the cash register! Fucking great!

And in all honesty they are acting very werid your aware of shoto multiple personalitys but still they are acting more than realitivly normal and you. Can't shake the feeling that your being watched.

This continues on for a week when you notice the Radom cash added into your grandmother's bank account. ThaTs strange you think to yourself but just end up ignoring it. You ignore the prying eye of them both you ignore the childish toy left on your doorstep.

Because your mind can't comprehend them doing this even if its obvious you refuse to believe it because you don't want any part in heir fucked up dynamic

And maybe that would be your downfall.

Goro didn't take anymind of you at first when you accidently ran into shoto in the gym his first though of you was anger but then he took not of you appearance and that anger subduied. Right you were the only actually child in this campu of course your clumsy be still didn't know how you were able to get in not did he care he's heard rumors about you but that's it nothing more he didn't bother to pry but when shoto took interest in you that's when his instrest started.

Shoto has always been the baby in the relationship but the thought of having a child with him was questionable because he never took shoto for wanting to be. Parent at all but when shoto met you that changed for him. Now goro takes notic of shoto more. Protective behavior towards you even if you don't notice. An it surprises him that he's capable of feeling something like that for a child of all things. Well it most be his opposite personalitys but still even his childish personality matures when around you to the point it sunprises goro.

H neve expected this from shoto but shoto is full of surprises in every aspect. So of course for shoto safety h looks into you before hand and your not involved in anything that's considered dangerous your realitivly normal. And that brings. Sense of comfort towards him.

So he decides maybe he will indulge in helping shoto just this once. Until it spirals into something more darker th longer him and shoto watches after you.

You clearly shows signs of not being able to take care of yourself from your behavior and that's not a problem for him he's taken care of shoto before you would be no different. The mansion would just have to be more baby proofed and him and shoto would have to keep their activities to a limit. They don't wan to corrupt you innocence after all. You may only be 7 years younger than them but your still a child needing to be cared for.

But they promise they will protect you no matter what.

Authors note: okay this is perceived as only platonic. Anyways is the fandom for this still alive! I'm gonna make it alive y'all so Send in asks about it and I'll be happy to answer I love any types of manwhas so send me recomadations!

Villainesses who aren’t actually villainesses are something I genuinely despise. They are a white lotus at best. I want a pure evil woman who, idk, murders her cheating ex or something. No remorse. And having her soften for some cold Duke of the North ml is also something I despise. Marriage is NOT softening that woman. Only if done correctly will I accept it.

The fl from ‘The villainess lives again’ is an exception because it utilises the fl’s guilt for her past crimes yet she loses none of her cunningness. She’s smart, doesn’t hesitate to use and cut off loose ends. I remember tons of people hating it because she was ‘too evil’ back in 2022 or something. Like? She’s a villainess? She’s going to do bad things. And I understand not liking the political part, that bit is quite heavy. But not liking it for a well characterised fl? Atp just read any other manwha with ‘villainess’ in the title, most of them aren’t anyway.

I fear that most manwha creators that use the villainess trope are trying to emulate ‘The way to protect the female lead’s older brother’ which was one of the best manwha’s of its year. Except when other creators try, they forget what they’re doing in like two chapters and mischaracterise their own fl.

Just stop calling them a villainess, actually. They are a tragic woman who needs to be saved at every occasion but will insist they don’t because the author wants to remind everyone that they’re ‘badass’. Like if you need to tell people that, then your character isn’t badass. Use their actions to demonstrate it.

“But they have trauma!” And that’s a perfectly acceptable reason for them to act the way they do. But that character still isn’t a villainess. They aren’t hateful, just constantly saying that they are without any resolve.

If there is a gradual build up to them becoming a villainess instead of it happening in the early chapters, I can accept that. But don’t lead up to it only for the fl to do actually nothing.

[liivingdaisy]

I have a serious beef with romance and webtoon writers. The main reason I read them is because it is nice to read FEMALE-CENTERED stories by FEMALE AUTHORS, but why on earth is the ROMANCE MALE-CENTERED? Why on earth can the male-lead be a WHORE, MISOGYNISTIC BASTARD, and a MAN-CHILD. One who literally sleeps around and another one who dangles opportunity in front of the female in exchange for their attention. The only way the female lead can succeed is by going through a man. The only way an author makes the male lead better is by GROVELING about their "rweally swad twrama🥺" 🙄. Y'all can NEVA make me love ABUSIVE MEN.
