I think it's funny how in this scene in the anime, Catarina was all composed while in the manga and the novel she was gay panicking.

Katarina: they say 1 in every 4 people is gay so there must be two in my friend group. I hope one of them is Maria, she's super cute.

Keith: .....

Keith: I'm starting to think you're the other one.

Katarina keep on bringing up the fact that Maria would be an excellent wife like JUST ASK HER TO BE YOUR WIFE ALREADY, IDIOT. I'M SURE SHE WON'T REFUSE.

Imagine Katarina's harem watching her past life and when they got to the point of her playing the fortune lover, all they can see is her past life version simping over the game version Maria.

There is Katarina having a meeting inside her head for creating a best way to escape the embarrassing scene unfolding in front of her.

And there is Maria smiling and blushing and deep inside celebrating cause she know she has the upperhand against the harem battle.

I think there’s a remarkable way in which the isekai doomed villain aspects of my next life as a villainess and the bisexual harem aspects gel together to create a metaphor for queer childhood. to me the most interesting way to view katerina is as a girl who is convinced from a young age that people around her are eventually going to subject her to a fate beyond her control and she’s going to be cast out, and this colors her entire perception of the world around her.

it feels very gay experience (though ofc not universal) to be like i have to overcorrect for the fact that one day everyone is going to hate me and exile me for something i can't help through being so kind and helpful to them.  i have to heal everyone around me.  or i will DIE.  they will KILL ME. i need to make myself essential to the people around me because something is inherently wrong with me that only i know about.  and then of course she self-conceives what is in large part her earnest desire to help the people around her as like "i am masterminding a dastardly plan to change my fate"  (read: feelings of duplicity and monstrousness as a gay child).

i also think there’s a way in which her revelation of her past life’s memories could have given her an uncomfortable or even predatory power over the people around her but it does not.  instead she reads very much as a child but like a child with an adult's sense of responsibility for the other children around her (in a world with horrible real adults)?  + mildly related point on the game mechanics aspect, i also like how neatly katerina’s backstory solves for some of her oblivious and quirky tendencies.  like of course she doesn’t think her friends are in love with her, she’s worried about them killing her.

anyway, on katarina/maria: it’s also soooo interesting that everyone is in love with her by the time she meets maria and the possibility she is going to be the "villain" who "dies" is 0 but she just doesn't know it.  but she meets her and is like she is so beautiful and charming and cool, that's why i'm so sure to meet an evil fate. . it’s so on the nose for like, the evil anvil that is going to fall on me which is proof that i’m doomed. . . is how wonderful and captivating this other girl is!  because of course it is, the crux of the issue is gay childhood.  [astronaut meme] “wait it was all about gay feelings?” “always has been”

Maria: I'll join the department of magic to be with you

Katarina: then i'll join the department of magic to avoid having to get married

Maria: this is the best fucking day of life

[thecottagecorebisexuals]

In Catarina's dream where Fortune Lover is a Private High School dating game instead of a Magic School one...

...she finds out that the doom there is weak shit.

So, the first thing she thinks about when she discovers her newfound freedom is...

She's so down bad.

You can't convince me she hasn't fallen in love with Maria.

MARIKATA NATION WAKE UP

[cherrysphinx]

Just finished this show.

Season one was so cute and wholesome. Season two was a bit questionable, but it was still entertaining. (I kinda wished it ended at season one honestly.)

[wardenofthesixtyninth]

I cannot help but think how fucking funny it is that Mrs Campbell had to endure like TEN YEARS of her village thinking she had fallen in love with a nobleman and had an illegitimate daughter, and all the ostracization and ridicule and abuse both she had her daughter got for it

Only to have her daughter ACTUALLY fall in love with a noble woman within like two weeks of moving out of the house

Like if I were Maria's mom I would have to sit her down and be like I did not raise you this way
