Attempt at Athy’s Novel-Accurate Debutante Gown (+extra Jetty)

Due to my own boredom and inability to focus on my schoolwork, i decided to detour from that and sketch what i imagine a novel-accurate debutante gown for Athy would look like with the description given for it in chapter 54.

i try to stick to what was described and took heavy references from pinterest, especially with details such as the bow, bracelet, skirt, etc.. also, my first time drawing Athy with her platinum blonde hair as described in the novel! obviously in the manhwa Athy’s hair already looks more like Diana than Claude’s with it being lighter, but it definitely was on the subtler side (which i honestly think works with scenes where Athy emulates Claude). i also try to keep it fairy-like in terms of vibes and added sparkles to her bow and hair. overall, not too bad for a first attempt though i think it’s still a little far off. this design is basically one that i try to take the least liberties with since i’m aware of how many people want to see art of Athy’s novel dress and i’m one of them so i feel quite happy with this. though is it technically a sketch…

and as if sketching Athy’s dress from the novel description wasn’t enough, i decided to take my brain rot further and sketch out how i think Jennette’s debutante dress would look like. courtesy to it not being described and my brain going haywire at this point lmao.

i’m exposing my inner ASM stan again because this is the second time i used an iconic ASM lady’s hair (or, hairbow to be exact) as an inspiration for a WMMAP fan design. this time instead of Shuri i decided to reference Ohara because honestly that hairstyle is to die for. Jennette’s dress on the other hand heavily referenced from a dress that assume is from the regency era? i just think the vibes suit her. yes i did also give her a fan for some details (referenced a drawing of a character named Audrey Hall from Lord Of The Mysteries, never read it but i heard it’s great) and i know it doesn’t match her vibe in the slightest but like, she deserves some fun in this sketch.

so, yeah. that’s my attempt at sketching out what i would imagine Athanasia’s debutante gown would look like as described in the novel, with a bonus Jennette to boot. let me know if there’s anything in these designs i improve on as i would love to hear some feedback. see ya <3 ;3

This panel of Diana and Lily has different dialogue in pretty much every language lol

Korean: A narrative between the two of them is mentioned very, very briefly in the novel. I’ve always admired this beautiful friendship! But I’m going to die in vain?!

Japanese: Their story was depicted very briefly in the novel, and for a long time I've longed for such a wonderful relationship! I can't believe I'm going to die in such a vain manner!

English: In the novel, there is a very, very brief development of friendship between Athanasia and Jeannette… And I’ve always admired that beautiful friendship! But then I die in vain?!

French: Though it was brief, I always admired the friendship between Athanasia and Janet. Am I truly destined to such a miserable death?!

German: In the book there was a short storyline with the two sisters. I even admired her great relationship with each other! And now I'm supposed to die for no reason?!

And the novel goes:

« Lillian and Diana's friendship was only mentioned very briefly in the novel, but I was very impressed by it. [Athy compares Lillian and Diana’s friendship to Anne Shirley and Diane Barry’s friendship, and says she didn’t have any friends] That's why I've always admired this wonderful friendship! But in the end, Lily unnie died while siding with Athanasia. »

I think it’s strange that the English, French and German editions just, mistook Diana and Lillian for Athanasia and Jennette 💀

Thanks to @ghostieieie for giving me the third panel because I don’t have the English volume 👉🏼👈🏼

One of the lucathy date details that didn’t make it into the manhwa: Athy gets mistaken as Lucas' girlfriend but she rolls with it to get free food

[sylver-drawer]

I want to remind everyone that Jennette and Ijekiel’s relationship in the novel never improves. Ijekiel may have ‘moved on’, but it wasn’t really of his own accord—it’s because Athy literally encouraged him to go with Jennette (which I’ve already mentioned whose encouragement stems from her rose-tinted glasses of dehumanizing both Ijekiel and Jennette). Jennette, whose feelings and psyche we’ve delved into multiple times throughout the novel, hates Ijekiel’s falsity the most. She may be afraid of his anger and frustration, but that’s because it would be so foreign to her—but at the same time, it would be relief because at the very least it means it’s Ijekiel finally laying his feelings bare to her. But Ijekiel made it clear to her during his rejection that he has no intention to ever be genuine to her—that he will keep up his mask, monitor his emotions closely while still spitting out cruel words as if he were angry, though he dare not present so. That’s what scares her most, and what she despises terribly.

So the novel ends with Jennette exiled to outside of Obelia, waking up after attempting to off herself with her magic, alone with the man who just conveyed to her that he will never be genuine or truthful with her. In Ijekiel’s side, the woman he loved just told him to go with Jennette—who he has SO much unpacked baggage with already, being that he never saw or acknowledged Jennette as a woman (not romantically, I’m saying he constantly views her as a child despite her being an adult and having multiple enigmas, personal conflict, and growth through the years), still and will always view her as someone who will chase after him and ignore his feelings or opinions (which stems from an image he himself wanted to uphold, Jennette always wanted him to give his true opinions and gave him PLENTY of times to reject her and her requests), and overall just has so much pent up feelings and resentment for Jennette for little things throughout his childhood that’s too much to resolve without a proper heart-to-heart with Jennette—which he already resolved to never doing.

Which ends the novel with both of them at basically their most uncomfortable, stuck with the person they very much never want to be around. It’s hell. It’s gonna be hell. They’re practically strangers—people who’ve been around each other for nearly two decades, but don’t know the first thing about the other. And now it’s extremely awkward because of their fight, and the line Ijekiel drew that because of Jennette’s extremely fragile mental state, will force Ijekiel to have to be the first one to reach out. And he won’t. Because he’s not used to reaching out, especially to Jennette of all people (as Jennette’s always been the one to try and reach out, and he’s always been the one to put up a mask and comply even if he truly wishes not to).

And we know this is true, because Athy and Lucas literally talk about it at the end of the LP sidestories. After Athy comes back from her LP adventure, she decides to take a trip and visit Jennette and Ijekiel—and Lucas states something along the lines of how they don’t even meet eachother’s eyes (Athy takes it as both of them not dating, which I’m completely confused about, and chalk it up to Plutus forcing a pairing somewhat, as when we last saw them they couldn’t even be called friends). When Athy and Jennette exchange letters, there is no mention of Jennette and Ijekiel’s relationship. Athy even remarks that, before Jennette started exchanging letters, her letters with Ijekiel were mostly of Jennette’s condition because (she) was worried about her (not that Ijekiel talks about Jennette on his own, Athy has to inquire about Jennette—which was also what Ijekiel was jealous of right before his rejection of Jennette, that Athy only seemed to love and ask about Jennette in his presence). Nothing has improved since the official end of the novel, and it’s the last we see of them, and I honestly don’t really have much faith that it’ll improve anytime soon. At least, not without Athy’s intervention, but that would require more of Athy’s own growth.

Why would Plutos add a tea party scene where noblewomen bully Jennette about incest because she's marrying her "cousin". Like GIRL, have you SEEN a noble family tree back then?

[sharper-than-a-serpents-tooth]

the tea party girls trying to bully Jennette because she's supposedly into her maternal SECOND cousin. is hysterical. Take a look at your own family tree, young lady. It adds another layer of irony that they are doing this in front of an inbred princess.

Lucas's initial appearance as described in the novel

[lithi]

AUGH…

[ultramarine-spirit]

God please take away all of Athy's suffering and give it to Claude

[sylver-drawer]

So many Novel Athy lovers complain about how people hate on Novel Athy because she’s selfish, meanwhile I hate Lee Jihye because she dehumanizes people around her and that skews her perception of others and the situations she’s in, all while inheriting Claude’s tendency of preferring her image of [other people] rather than trying to acknowledge the real [them].

It took her eighteen years to realize she generalizes the people around her as one-dimensional characters instead of human beings (seen passively through how she treats the original cast of LP, and people she sees as mob characters like nameless and faceless nobles and girls she invites to her OWN parties), but she doesn’t dwell on or try to change that part of her, or how she treats them.

[shxrry-blossom]

I took a long, hard think as well as I stroked Raven. He was munching on his purple apple, a specialty fruit local to Obelia.

Among the animals that I know, he looks like that one dog... What was it called again?

P... Po... Pom...

"Oh!"

That's right! A Pomeranian! He looks like a bushy Pomeranian!

— WHO MADE ME A PRINCESS, Chapter 27

According to Athy, Raven looks like a Pomeranian and I think Spoon portrayed him quite well in the manhwa!!

Who Made Me a Princess: Beware of the Prince!

Summary: In which the Crown Prince of the Obelian Empire is not a simple child.

Note: Self-indulgent OC-insert because why not. Also, evil, why hot?

"Blessing upon the Crown Prince and the Obelian Empire."

"Stand."

Anastacius did as he was told and stared at the figure sitting on a chair in a lazy manner, near the window.

Why he was called here was certainly mysterious and brooding.

There shouldn't be anyone who knew of his stay at the Alpheus Dukedom, nor would even know his alias. He rarely introduced himself, or even show himself in public, for he did not want to get the attention of his troublesome brother.

Yet here he was, meeting the Crown Prince in the most famous commercial building in Obelian Empire.

According to rumors, the royal family did have a stake in this prospering business, only as an investor. But Anastacius knew there was more to it.

If he would have the opportunity, Anastacius would ask, but it seemed like such a chance was unlikely.

"Take a seat, Viscount Patterson." The young Prince gestured for him to sit across from him.

Athanasios de Alger Obelia.

Or Athos, as the little prince prefers. 

His long blonde hair tied neatly into a short ponytail. His blue jeweled eyes proved his status. His tall figure and looks already eluded the aura of someone worthy of the position of the successor.

The Prince gained popularity for his intelligence, wisdom, and charm. 

Anastacius wants to laugh.

The boy in front of him could be mistaken as one of his siblings.

And how wonderful would that be?

"Your highness," Anastacius smiles. 

"How may I help you?"

So Anastacius doesn't hold back and gets straight to the point. Staying around this boy gave him ominous feelings, and the brief yet sharp glance from him only confirmed his suspicions.

He knows something.

The boy doesn't spare him a glance, rather continued to look outside the window at the bustling city, before speaking.

"If you were to become the emperor again, what would you do?"

Anastacius felt a chill down his spine.

"Pardon me? Your highness, I don't quite understand your question." It was a subconscious and reflective response.

The boy did not move at all. His eyes still concentrated on the flowing customers in and out of the building.

"If you were to become the emperor again, what would you do?"

He repeated the question again with the same tone.

Anastacius observed him, and a brief silence enveloped them.

"Viscount Patterson." His alias sounds like a mockery.

"Why aren't you answering the question?" The tea was cold.

"I apologize my highness. I'm just surprised at your question." The boy finally turned back, their eyes met. The Prince put down his teacup with an intentional clink!

"If you were to become the emperor again, what would you do?"

Anastacius felt the air shift, and a burst of mana seem to swirl past him. 

Once again, he acted instinctively. His own mana shot forward to surround the two.

The Prince remained calm and collected as he awaited his answer. His eyes were passive, lazy even as he clasped his hands together on the table.

Amazing.

It was the first (and perhaps lasting) impression Anastacius had on the Crown Prince.

The Prince had plentiful mana at his disposal. Was it because he was born from Claude and his first Empress?

The first Empress of the empire, an archmage and the leader of the Black Tower after the original master of the Black Tower disappeared. 

Known for her bright personality, leadership, and strength, she led the country with Claude to it's bright future. 

Unfortunately, she passed in the midst of a war against their enemy kingdom in the south, but her death brought victory for the empire.

As such, her legacy remains, and her memory never lost, even after Claude remarried, and had a princess born.

So this was the result?

A so called perfect Prince, who helped Claude with diplomatic relations, who protected his mother's honor, and who saved the young princess of the second Empress from Claude's wraith.

A Prince loved by the people, and respected by nobles.

Anastacius fought off the urge to swallow him whole, to brainwash him for his own use, to take over his body. Aeternitas was swirling with excitement within him.

"Your highness truly is the star of this kingdom."

"Answer the question, Uncle."

"How did you know?"

The Prince smiles, bright, blinding, and innocent.

Like a child finally getting his candy from his parents.

Perhaps this was the other side of the Prince.

Calculating and mysterious.

"How would I not know my dearest Uncle, and of course, one of my dear ancestors, one of the former Emperor in Obelian history?"

A spoon fell from the table, but there was no sound of its fall.

Their world was tilted sideways.

Indeed, they were floating in the air.

Ha. 

Despite the circumstances, the Prince had the audacity to look calm, collected and in control.

Every word he says is worth something. 

The Crown Prince does not say anything more than he needs to. 

Compared to Princess Athanasia, he really is becoming a troublesome threat.

Kill him.

Could he though?

"You haven't answered my question yet, Uncle."

Once again, Anastacius met those chilling and cunning eyes worthy of the royal family.

"If you were to become the emperor again, what would you do?"

He swallows, thinking of what to say, but Aeternitas beats him to it. 

"Well, aren't you clever?"

Shut up. 

He was shaking out of control. 

"Why don't you join me? I'll lend you power beyond your imagination." 

Dark magic swirled around the two of them, and the Prince's expression finally changed.

To one of annoyance. 

"Can you really afford to expose yourself here?" His reaction and tone was flat. Almost disappointed.

With a raise of his hand, gold spilled out of his finger tips. Then, slamming his hand onto his arm rest, Anastacius regained control. 

They both landed on the solid floor again with minimal sound. 

His hand no longer shaking. 

All Anastacius heard in his mind was amused laughter, and a regretful sigh. 

That body would've been perfect to possess, but alas, Lucas will notice.

"Then I will take my leave, Uncle."

The Crown Prince leaves, and like a trained professional, he leaves without making any sound.

All Anastacius could remember was those eyes of warning, and a provoking smirk, matching that of the first Empress. 

Ha. 

For whatever reason the Prince wanted to exposure himself for, this was nonetheless a warning. Therefore, this was a dangerous game.

The moment Lucas know of his existence is when he'll lose. But the moment he corners the Prince and takes over him, is when he'll win.

He sits down on the chair that the Prince was siting on and looks out the window.

"They do say blood is thicker than water."
