#one within the villainess

[oh-no-its-bird]

FELLOW THORNE FAN SPOTTED????? i love him sm his funny little reactions get to me everytime

YESSSS I LOVE THORNE SO MUCH HE IS SO SILLY AND SO CUTE AND SO STRESSED!!!! I love when he does his little cat eyes,, he's so fucking cute, and his reactions are always so funny

My wife,, the village people also agree he is cat coded, which fills me with glee

HE CARES ABOUT HIS PEOPLE SO MUCH HE'S SO COMMITTED TO THE VILLAGE AND ITS PEOPLE AND ITS CHILDREN ESPECIALLY I LOVE HIM SM!!

HES LITERALLY HAD THE GOAL OF JUST HELPING HIS FELLOW DEMONS SINCE HE WAS A CHIILLDDD PLS ALL HE WANTS IS FOR HIS PEOPLE TO BE SAFE

I love him SO much, he is The Favorite, I think. I wanna add more photos of him but Tumblr is maxing me out at 10. But like!!!! He's so cute!!!!!!! I need to see him go through The Horrors.

Anyways take this from my notes app:

I think Thorne would be funny to put in Naruto bc he is, at his heart, just a guy. Just a silly little guy who has skill in like, management and selling things. And running a village, actually, which could be interesting in itself to squint at w Konoha.

But he's also like. A demon. A demon w little to no skill in battle who would probably die miserably in like all of 1 second if tossed at literally anyone in Naruto.

But also like, he runs a magic shop! What the fuck, that's cool.

I started daydreaming ab him being tossed into Naruto before we got the confirmation that he didn't really make (at least the main potions) he sold. But also like, canon is what I wish it to be, so it'd be cool if he did make some of those potions and trinkets, or at least had their recipies, so.

But also we could just toss him a bag of holding or smthn filled with some of his stock. But also it could be fun to just play w him trying to make his usual things and trinkets but like !!! Uh oh !!! The magic (chakra) here is totally wack !!! Now he has to find out how to adapt his potions recipies for the magic in the air, and they keep coming out weird / stronger / weaker than usual...

But ummm demon guy with -5 stats in fighting trying to scrape by undetected in Naruto world while operating a magic shop, while waiting for Remillia to hopefully come save him (which like, she would. Bc she's Remillia and literally not even god can stand in her way) (hes going to get fucking demolished the second any ninja so much as catches a wiff of him)

He ends up adopting Naruto bc ofc he does.

Demon connection!!!!

The kids in the demon village seem to love Thorne, and he has an advantage w Naruto too bc like. Baby Naruto being shunned by the village being adopted by an ACTUAL literal demon from the demon realm.

Would pay to see it tbh.

Thorne tries to free Kurama,,,,,

He sees people scared of the fox and is like "oh no...demon racism strikes again... this poor guy...."

And Kurama goes "yeah lmao, it was the racism. I pinkie promise I didn't flatten like half the village twice."

Actually tho. Thinking. Bc in TOWYV, demons dealt with the Frenzy curse, which'd make them go totally berserk and literally eat even their loved ones. So Thorne might actually have some context to legitimately empathize with Kurama ab being controlled by the sharingan to flatten Konoha that one time. It's a similar fear he shared with pretty much all of demon kind, not so long ago. (Even if Kurama cared less about the being made to kill people than loss of control)

Idk, could be interesting

Ummm final thoughts: read The One Within The Villainess

Love it. Retribution of the sister. To make the people who took her sister from her pay for their crimes. She will whoop your asses. It's seriously so refreshing to see a character that doesn't subscribe to the "I'm jealous of my perfect sister" thing. I was actually worried at first that Mia will turn out to be evil and in league with the trashy second Prince who sold Philia to another country. But gladly she is not. She is a perfect example of a sister that loved her sister so dearly that she would do anything, no matter how threacherous, to avenge her. Her attitude lowkey reminds me of "One Within the Villainess" where the villainess Remilia would do everything for Emi because she loves her.

This is a peak feminist message about female solidarity and love.

[softlypaintedseafoam]

after such a glorious chapter i only have one thing to say; a quote from one of the goats

"no matter what you do; no matter how hard it getsー never! stop! hating! never stop hating! even if it looks like they're winning! even when you are on the losing end of the stick! that doesn't mean you're incompetent! that just means you're not hating enough! always hate your opps! even if they did nothing wrong to you, you hate them for a reason, right?! so keep hating! always be a hater! because when you eventually get your w, you will experience what the beauty of revenge truly means! (and in conclusion... kendrick won)"

I love Remillia. Can she marry me? I could use a mastermind like her. She'd destroy all of my enemies while benefiting our nation all at once. This is some chess 5d level shit she is doing right there. While Pina is not only utterly stupid but also very ugly inside. Her soul is trash.

Just look at her dumb face lol. Serves you right, Pina.

And in regard to your convo. Pina is seriously an idiot. She thinks of herself so highly that she doesn't even take threats seriously. WTF.

Not to mention how unhinged her proposal is.

Yeah, what indeed.

Manga Rec: The One Within The Villainess

Hey tumblr, I heard you like unhinged women.

The One Within The Villainess is the story of the elaborate revenge plan the protagonist/villainess Remilia enacts on those who had hurt the one she loves the most: the girl who was possessing her body.

It starts as a typical Isekai: Emi, a girl from our world, dies and reincarnates in the body of the villainess of her favorite otome game, Remilia, and decides she will live a happy, generous life. But here is the thing: Remilia is not gone. She is trapped inside her own body, so she can both acess Emi's past memories and watch as Emi lives her life.

And Remilia loves it.

The villainess, from within her own body, genuinely starts to love and adore Emi as her own sister.

But then something (or better, someone) happens (if you know the genre, you can imagine what), and all the friends Emi had tried so hard to make to give the villainess Remelia her happiness suddenly betray her. And the emotional shock is so strong that Emi gets "reverse isekaied": she goes to sleep inside the villainess, and Remilia, who had been watching over her for years now, takes control of her own body back.

And my girl is insanely pissed.

And so starts the journey of our villainess to both achieve "The Villainess Remilia's Happiness" that Emi tried so hard to give her and enact her extremely elaborated and cruel revenge plot against those who took Emi from her. She's unhinged and insanely smart and I love her.

The support cast is pretty good too, and the artwork is amazing. The plot doesn't fall back into cliches and the pay off is immensely satisfying.

Please, give The One Within the Villainess a try. You can read it here. And if you do read it let me know what you think!

Imo the most impressive thing Leo’s done is hold this pose for as long as he did while covered head to toe in gold paint:

DAY 22: Remilia Rosa Graupner & Thorne (The One Within the Villainess)

NICHE SERIES BLAST. This series is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine… The art goes CRAZY and I've seen the main character compared to a female count of monte cristo so you can tell where this is going probably. I love how Remilia is unrepentantly a liar and a manipulator. She doesn't believe anyone could love her for anything but her fake mask of "Emi" (but also never addresses this because rightly so, she IS using this facade to get on everyones' good sides) in her eyes, Emi was perfect. The only one who loved her and nurtured her for their whole lives.

The story is wrapping up pretty soon, so I'm hoping there's a bit more before the end where she finally shows everyone her true self :,) IF FRIENDS DON'T ACCEPT YOU AT YOUR GIRLBOSS GASLIGHT GATEKEEP THEN ARE THEY REALLY YOUR FRIENDS. Remilia the world. Give us everything queen.

The whole main cast is hilarious, but I DO LIKE MR SHOPKEEPER OVER HERE ALSO. Goddamn cute ass moe man. Objectively just a Normal Guy but he tries so hard to keep up his facade of a heartless merchant… he's so bad at it though he gives so many fucks. Lost the idgaf war badly.

He and Remilia are the unexpectedly funny duo where he gets hopelessly swept up in her plans, but has unwavering faith in her ability to move mountains… Honestly I feel like he might be the one who knows the "villainess" Remilia the best. She always does her best to show everyone else "Emi's Remilia" but she’s only really shown a sharper edge in front of him and the goddess of flame. They're cool <3

Also, can I just say, I am deeply in love with Shiraume Nazuna for spending more than one two-page spread showing off how horribly gaudy that dress was even in full shoujo sparkles and flowers mode. Look at this thing. A+ tacky. The only thing is I wish it was in color so we could see how truly overdone it is. Maybe we'll be so lucky in one of the next chapters.

King of staying in his lane I love youuuu

[nonameidentified]

Okay so, I've been reading The One Within The Villainess and it was supposed to be a non-yuri read, but- but-

I've gathered a list

1) They call eachother "dear" and "my" and the combination of "my dear" all the fucking time

2) Just this statement. 🏳️‍🌈❓

3) The actual plot. Take revenge on everyone that has wronged her? Creat a safe world for her? MY EMI???

3.5) You are the strongest version of yourself because she loved you??? Ma'am do you know how gay you sound?

It's official, everything I read some how turns into yuri.

[oh-no-its-bird]

There's SO many reasons to read the one within the villainess but like. Among them tho. These v few pages of these 3 interacting are giving me endless life rn, I'm loving these guys as a dynamic even tho ik it's probably all we're ever gonna get of them in the same room together. Thorn wants OUT OF THERE !!!!

I've been sitting on top of a small pile of One Within The Villainess fic ideas for like. Months now. Staring at them again, just a little bit. Specifically the Thorn gets zapped to Naruto one just bc I know what I am

[moontheoretist]

Since the time I wrote this post I actually found several stories where there are 2 isekaied / transmigrated characters, and indeed One Within the Villainess is one of the examples I'd give if I wrote it now.

I still didn't finish going through my liset tbh. But I'm sure there's more of those. There are also probably some in anthologies.

Otome Isekai is definitely much, much more interesting when it is a showdown between two isekaied characters, than just a story of a single one. It adds this flavor of drama that Hamefura, Omnipotent Saint and Beware of the Villainess (webtoon comic, no anime) didn’t have, and I find it interesting. I don’t know if there is more Otome Isekais that go with this idea, as I just found a list of manga and manhwa with only otome isekais, that I need to go through, but as far as Otome Anime are concerned, it is the first time when we have two reincarnated heroines that assume roles of villainess and heroine respectively. Hamefura had something akin to that in Sophia, but Sophia had no memories of her previous life as Catarina’s best friend, so it doesn’t count, but even if, she would be a support character, rather than someone who shapes the game world to her liking.

BTW the innocent face with which Lilia says “They’re just characters in a game” is even more unsettling than if she did the same with a crazy yandere smile instead. She technically isn’t wrong. They are just characters, but the moment you get reincarnated or transported to another world that so happens to be the world of the game you played in your previous life, the whole game world is skewed into adhering to real life logic more than game mechanics, fulfilling all the holes that one dimensional game characters had with real people’s memories, experiences and feelings. Which means that the moment they were both reincarnated, this world and its people became real.

So yeah, she isn’t wrong, but it is a very privileged position from which she is speaking there, simply because she knows the character she is playing as won’t get killed. She’d not be so callous otherwise.

FINALLY

[unhonestlymirror]

While being hilarious, this page is also incredibly sad because Remilia truly believes not even Angel is capable of loving not the "Emi" facade but her. She doesn't even love Angel herself (yet?), she's just engaged because she believes that's what Emi would want. She really believes no one loves her except for the only person who's basically deceased now. Remilia truly believes she's inherently evil and that's why nothing in world matters except for Emi, and that's the most tragic part of the story for now.

I'm really curious how it's gonna end because what if Emi never comes back? Will Remilia lose all the will to live?

[coralinnii]

Hey there sorry to bother you but i have a question, what is the name of the manga on your banner of your latest work called Getting Culture Shock from Your Friendly Family?

No need to apologize! It's a panel from a Japanese villainess isekai manga called "The One Within the Villainess"

It's starts with a typical modern teen transmigrated into a villainess's body, but the OG villainess is actually still inside the body's subconscious watching everything through MC. But, the OG villainess learns to love MC's kind nature and starts to support her.

So when the heroine saint and the target routes exile the MC for crimes she didn't do, the OG villainess suddenly switched back and is hellbent on getting revenge on everyone, like a true villainess!

I really recommend this story and I'm not sure if the author is secretly Junji Ito but the art can be horrifyingly gorgeous at times, and I love it!

seriously, get you a woman who can do both.

[thebiscuiteternal]

I love how these two basically became us, sitting in the background with popcorn.

[psychosomaticdeicide]

This, too, is yuri...?
