gilbert after yves finally snaps

[cherryisagamer]

local brothers being epic together in Dramatic Route

they're (in narration) back to back, ready to defend each other. I love them 🥺 brother-in-law to the rescue!!

[stellarstardust]

Wake up, babe. New cringey IkePri MC quote just dropped:

Me reading this: 🤦🏻‍♀️

And here is where Chevalier is me:

You deserve to be laughed at and feel embarrassed, Emma. I laughed and was embarrassed for you.

[littlewitty]

Just finished Yves romantic route and … no i don’t agree with Belle, I don’t think Yves should have been king 😭😭

I just think that some of his brothers are so much more suited to the job but at the same time I loved these scenes

What is it with MC and asking if Yves needs the bathroom?? She really be there saying ‘go piss gurl 💅’

The fact that even Chevalier raised his hand to abolish clause 99, Damn he does care for the showoff

And his brother being aware that he is a crybaby ☠️☠️

IkePri routes short comments and personal rankings

* All of these are my personal thoughts.

1st Gilbert

Traumatized villain with death wish. Not a fun route, relatively heavy plots, twisted romance, but a good "villain" route. Emma has real great mentality and very brave, loved how she handled the situation and the relationship. Also the best adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast" theme.

2nd Clavis (Tie)

Four-dimensional troublemaker. The first half was funny thanks to all sorts of weird events and the second half was interesting to see dealing stuff this guy was secretly doing. I liked the romance and chemistry between the two. Emma was very cool and proactive.

2nd Silvio (Tie)

Sharp tongued, materialistic brat. Endless bickering between the two was overall fun to read and though there were moments that I wanted to punch this guy, eventually grew to like him. Used to wonder why so many people love this brat but I get why. Loved how sassy Emma was too.

3rd Nokto

Sly playboy. I think I like these kind of foxy character. Has a sad past. I liked the route because the guy was very smart and Emma was quite cool. What I didn't like was that the romance seemed to be leaning toward too erotic after the two became official.

4th Yves

Star-crossed tsundere kitty. The guy himself was very cute, and the romance between the two was cute and heartwarming as well. But they are both grown ass adults in their 20s and yet their romance was like that of teens.... why.

5th Chevalier

Coldhearted genius. The second best adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast" theme. I liked the process of Emma taming him. But didn't quite like that the guy has the upperhand still. This was the only route that Emma didn't call her suitor only by given name till the very end, so...

6th Licht

Severely depressed one. I liked the heavy story and realistic romance. But, although he's kind he has almost no self-esteem, is a master of self-deprecation, and his past is seriously dark, making me feel depressed as well. I know he's loved by many, but just not my cup of tea.

7th Leon

Charismatic, good-natured brother type. Typical fairytale prince. Has a sad past, but speaking of past, there're handful who are worse than him here... The most ordinary route. I don't remember much honestly.

8th Keith

Double personality. One is very kind and the other is rather bratty. Whole premise itself was interesting but two are so different... and made the romance look like a weird love triangle.

9th Rio

Loyal doggo who always loves Emma. But the route was kinda disappointing, I think it's only meaningful in a way that his love met a happy ending for once.

10th Sariel

Felt more like a "common route" in other games where romance does not exist. I didn't see much meaningful interaction between the two. At least I liked that Emma did best in her role as Belle in this route, but that's all.

11th Jin

Seriously remember nothing about the route except that it was very boring.

12th Luke

A sleepy bear turned into a crazy bear.

PLUS

1. I love the ways "sinner" LIs are written in this game, including Gilbert and Licht, and how Emma deals with those. Instead of trying to just reassure it's okay don't let that bother you, she's like "I know what you did cannot be forgiven, nothing can change that, but I'll embrace even that part of you and lead you to step forward"

2. I love that in the two bastards' route Emma ended up 'winning' them. In Gilbert's it was mentioned that he's the one who was conquered, and Silvio's he thought that it looks like he's the one with the collar.

small spoilers

My 128-page file on Gilbert's controlling behaviour condensed to 22 seconds:

Absolutely no shade to those who like Gilbert; I'm just saying it should be kept in mind that this is noooooot who you want as a partner in real life and that this behaviour shouldn't be romanticized.

Editing note(s): - I didn't use motion tracking to make the images move. I went frame-by-frame and entered each of the coordinates in the keyframes like the masochist perfectionist I am.

[scorchieart]

Sniper, no sniping!

Snipers:

And that's the story of how Yves solved world peace. Leon was there, he can corroborate.

[crimsonchili]

I'm crying 😭 ((For context, In Rio's route (Chapter 11), Licht and Keith wanted to bake with Yves, but then Licht made an explosion in the oven))

[freckled-lili]

Yves & Gilbert conversation summed up:

Yves: Prince Gilbert, I want to ask you a question-- Gilbert: And I want to kill you in the face and throw you out of the carriage to get trampled on by the horses, but we can't always get what we want in life. c:

On a related note, Yves' Route was the first one I played when I first downloaded Ikemen Prince. So while he's not my #1 Favourite Prince in the game, he still has a special place in my heart and scenes like this make me weep for him a inside 😭

[ikeprinces-stuff]

Gilbert's route wins for being the route with the biggest skip I gave ever since playing Ikemen prince 😀😀😀

Gil's Romantic CG 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 :

People : Oh my god, Gilbert looks so soft and cute in this CG!! 😭❤️❤️✨

Me *ignoring Gilbert* : Dang, I want that black dress Emma is wearing 😤😤🖤🖤🖤

[sunshine-and-her-ikevil-stuff]

Me: *Feeling bogged down by all of the sadness, mainly from the tragic curses, in Ikevil* Man I need a break from this

*pulls up Ikepri* I don't want to do Gilbert's route since he's a villain and I'm trying to get a break, so I'll pick my second favorite! Yves.

.... Are you fucking KIDDING me?! The first line!

"whY dO I keEp eNdinG uP WIth cuRsEd PeOpLE or vILLainS-?" APPARENTLY IT'S MY TYPE!
