I know we are not supposed to be rooting for Derrick (or anyone in Penelope's family really)
but he has such pretty eyes
Especially when he's frowning ;w;
#villains are destined to die#i can't help it he has a character design that hits all of my likes T_T#in all seriousness though i do like all of the Eckharts for different reasons#Reynold after the attic scene where he has a moment of realization and does start to truly look out for Penny#and his hatred of her was understandable - he was 14 years old his little sister was missing a lookalike was brought in to be his new siste#and the lookalike prays that the og sister is never found/is already dead#that is a very good reason to become resentful!#meanwhile the duke is just neglectful. and knows he's neglectful and tries to (originally) make up for it#by letting Penny buy what she wants and run wild#but once he's forced to also come to terms with how he's been treating his daughter#you start to see that he's well aware of how he's messed up and he does actually really care about Penny as a daughter#and striving to do better#(i get the feeling that unlike Derrick he genuinely did not know the details of the incident with Emily)#meanwhile Derrick is..... Derrick. i love him but i also want to stab him#but the really biggest tragedy of it all is the isekai element#where the heroine finds out that while Penny's family was awful to her they are not as awful as her own#and are capable of treating her the way an adopted daughter should have been treated#but Penelope will never receive those affections and the heroine will never get this kind of closure from her own family
