complicated feelings about jeanette

re-ishi July 21, 2020 6:17 pm

jeanette was told from young that claude is her real dad, and she's been living dreaming of being a real family with him (and athy) for the longest time. she has no real autonomy in mr white's house and she has to listen to whatever he says e.g. couldnt even see off her aunt (mum) who passed. the only thing that she's allowed to do, and likes doing, is getting closer to claude and athy

she doesn't know she is bringing harm to them, doesn't know that claude isnt her real dad and athy isnt her real sister. because of everything listed above, i can't really hate her... BUT from athy's first life, we know jeanette was acknowledged by claude and lived the life of her dreams. athy was suffering, and jeanette chose to ignore it and focus on her own happiness. in this 1st timeline, athy died, claude died (probably), and jeanette's happy family got shattered

the future and happiness that jeanette is chasing brings ruin to not only claude and athy, but also herself. and i hate the fact that she has no clue about the devastation she will inevitably bring if she keeps chasing this dream of hers. as readers who've been seeing things from athy's point of view, we know athy had been working hard for her father's attention, grew to love him, and how she suffered in all her lives so far, so obviously when jeanette appears all kind and cute and innocently wanting to play 'house'.... (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

ALSO because we know what's going on, jeanette's entire character seems just like a plot driver (towards the bad end). because of the things she doesn't know, she brings harm to all the characters we love, and does so with a pure heart and without restraint. on the other hand we have athy, who knows what happened in the 1st timeline, knows jeanette is poison to claude, knows jeanette isnt even her biological family, yet when she first starts meeting jeanette athy is too nice to distance herself from her. she felt bad turning jeanette down despite knowing jeanette had something to do with black magic and once took (or has the potential to take) everything away from her. even now, athy has to watch claude call for jeanette, and live with uncertainty because the love that she had is suddenly taken away from her ARGH

basically hate how things are set up... jeanette can relentlessly chase her dream of her happy family knowing absolutely nothing... athy has to suffer from knowing too much... [rest]

    I don't hate her but I also don't like her. to me Jeanette is very unsensitive person to anyone but not herself and her dreams and wants. like your best friend father try to fucking kill her and what did she say again (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ "ohh I meet the person that try to kill you hahah it was nice, he was so nice to me." ^_^
    also don't forget Athy DO NOT know it was her real life timeline, she think it was just a story she read. a fictional story. the only one that know everything is Lucas that didn't tell her everything to protect her from getting hurt.

    That's why I don't really like Jeanette from what she did to Athy in the first timeline

    That was *chef kiss*. Also I will forever be angry at how the story is treating Athy. In Lovely Princess she was nobody's number one (nor two, or three ecc..), ostracized and lived with only Lily caring for her yet she never blamed nor antagonized Jennette who took everything away from her (her father, her place, her title, her love basically forcing it out of everyone thanks to her black magic). In this life she is still accepting Jeannette despite everything and while J was living her dream of a "happy family" oblivious of everything, Athy has to live with the fear of seeing her's crushed for the third time. I swear, if Jennette will become like in the novel I will seriously start to hate her, no more pity, because Athy despite everything never ever did bad things to her.
