did we read the same story? her aunt poisoned jennette in the novel and jettie was unconscious the whole trial, final verdict and execution. honestly what were you expecting from her? what about izekiel? he didn't care about athy and claude executed his own daughter. at least jennette cared about what happened. thats not enough?
Ezekiel likes Athy in first life but I think he is manipulated by his dad and Jeannette (not her fault, but the curse) so he cant do anything.
No it's not enough
he still has less of an excuse then someone who was poisoned and couldn't move lol. jesus its even more pathetic he didn't do anything when he liked her
then I think your the problem. not jennette lol
ijekiel couldnt do anything either, if he went against his father, if he even betrayed jennette he would be killed. since jennette has the EMPEROR behind her ijekiel could be killed. it says in the story “everyone who was on jennettes bad side didn’t end up well.” he was manipulated by his father from the start and if he spoke out for athy he would be killed just like Lillian. im not saying jennette didnt care about her sister its obvious she did but jennette never helped athanasia’s situation one bit in lovely princess.
You do realize we never see his side. I agree with you what you said about Jeannette but why do you shift the blame to Ezekiel? I already he is also manipulated by his dad and Jeannette... He might have forgot his feelings for Athy coz Jeannette wants his love
Thank u for saying this this is how i feel about her exactly and u put it into words for me
Izekiel can't do anything even if he wanted remember in this timeline when claude first lost his memories at he did that to athy at the party? There was no jannette close to claude and mot even enough reason for him to hate athy and he still couldn't do anything to her at last he just gave her a room to stay in
Imagine in the first timeline with claude raging cause his "lovely princess" was poisoned by athy and his black magic and all u can imagine mister white restraining him and he was supposed to be jannette's fiance so he was hopeless for real
I mean.. you said she would be safe with claude but its not like claude ever really liked her as we now know, he was using her to keep his memories at bay in his first life so he tolerated her existence (just barley) but he didn't adore, nor acknowledge her. had she decided to try to play "family therapist" I dont think that tolerance or mercy would have lasted too long when he was trying so hard to forget, her life would be in danger at that point then too...
iziekiel knew more about his fathers plans for them then jennette was let in on since early on. I'm guessing even their marriage was something he was aware was part of his fathers schemes but he went along with it. there were so many times before when he could have stood up against his father and questions his intentions but he didn't. he just passively stood by, he could have TRIED something at least especially when the person he loves life was on the line.
your saying cowardice/self preservation is an viable excuse? so why cant jennette get that consideration?
How do you know Ezekiel never tried anything in the past life? We never saw his side. And Jeannette manipulated everyone besides her to love her so Ezekiel might have forgotten his love for Athy. Op might be saying that Jennette's the only one at Athy's side but she never tried to anything for her. At least she could try to make everyone's impression about Athy fade away or something, but she never did??
But to be fair, no offense, Athy never did anything to Jeannette too in this life. Athy knows Mr. White is using Jeannette, knows that she is not her sister and etc. but she never did say all of that to Jeannette. But of course there are reason why Athy didn't tell that.
"How do you know Ezekiel never tried anything in the past life? We never saw his side."
I guess his rather lax response when we were getting jennettes PoV to hearing about what happened to athy after execution always sat with me the wrong way.. (it's possible he did try something but was inevitably warned off by his father, and given his track record of following his daddies orders I'd say he did just that. of course he felt miserable about it but in the end he still failed to do anything either)
I'm just sick of people pushing all the responsibility onto jennette alone to have done something back then. apparently being poisoned by your aunt isn't a viable excuse, and she should have magically made all of claudes anger towards athy disappear with a bat of her eyelashes or something (Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!)
I'm thankful you admitted they both were kind of similar in their self involvement to notice or do something when they otherwise could have tried, humans are all like this. but I feel like people just expect jennette to be entirely selfless for athys sake while also contend with being the most hated character in the fandom.
Honestly it's always jennette getting all the blame for almost everything. Rarely did other characters get their fair share of blame.
How about Claude who killed athy? It is jennette's fault that athy died? She was a victim as well. It was jennette's aunt who poison who her own niece just so that she can be the sole heir. Or the fact that Mr white who is using jennette as a stepping stone to achieve greater status? Quite funny that in your eyes
Oops accidentally pressed ok, post it. Continuing on..
Quite funny that in your eyes she seems to be getting almost all of the misfortune that is happening to athy.
Also can I say in my opinion how flawed your way of thinking that jennette stole athy's place and whatnot? Because it seems that people always tend to nitpick those who received attention rather than the one who is giving the attention, which is Claude. Even if Claude still gave attention to jennette, why can it only be one? Why can't he also treat Athy like a human being and give her love that she deserves as well? Claude's attention or love it's not limited to only one person. He never had treated athy right, but it doesn't make sense to make jennette out to be the stealer as well. She did what she could to be loved and there was never really just for athy's spot or just for jennette's spot. This story is about two girls who want a family's affection.
Also adding on, the fact that characters like Claude or Mr white and Dark Claude are usually let free lose because they either too hot or just daddy shows the double standards. Yes some may pick on them but mainly it's always jennette who's action is nitpick on constantly.
I won't make a very bold assumption based off on lovely Princess as we have not seen everything just the summery, not to mention it's actually from athy's perspective not jennette. It won't make sense to actually be athy the one who is reading it from jennette's perspective as it's her magic that allowed her to change timeline.
Another point is that why can't she feel jealous or upset? I mean it's normal to feel jealous when someone whom you thought will be there for you and will eventually marry you at the end now has someone who will be his first priority and its no longer you. Just because athy's situation which was bad before but now better compared to hers doesn't restrict her rights to feel the emotion she is feeling. Feelings can't be controlled and she will only be wrong is she actually hurt anyone on purpose out if jealousy. Like srsly give her some break.Also if we are going by your logic then is athy guilty? Or is she stealing someone's fiancee? It was the white boy who fall in love with her even though he was engaged to Jeannette, but of course, not it's not athy's fault, how can she control whether or not white boy should only like Jeannette or not. You see the flaw?
It isn't ironic to give any sympathy to a character who's life I would say it's just as bad as athy, except for the fact that her life was way more sugar coated. She was just born to be a living weapon that will be used to killed a man who she thought is her real father and yet not knowing that. Also being stuck and used as a puppet for someone else's greed for status and being stuck in a mansion while also being pressure to be as smart and likeable as athy who had a lot of advantages over her. Not to mention her whole life is a lie and is still stuck in it, even when there is someone who knew the truth yet not telling you about it. Her life seems to be all bright and sunshine until a puff of 'truth' will blow everything away.
Athy also isn't that selfless either nor was anyone in this show the absolute saint. Jeannette had done her fair share of kindness towards athy. In reality it's Claude's black magic and athy's own magic that collides which makes athy's life a disaster and jennette's existence only made Claude favour her due to her relieving his pain.
Also just adding one more point, it was Mr white who's order Ezekiel was following. And it's not like she was forcing him to be like 'no you must marry me!' Obviously his father asked him to marry Bennett so that he can rise his status.
Never have I ever really seen readers saying it's ironic to pity Claude when he had done a lot worse of things that can't be compared to what jennette did and honestly his trauma is understandable but it isn't a excuse for letting a child drown until someone says something or killing the maids after your love one died. But it's all a-okay because there is such a huge double standard for those hot male characters. Of course, I don't mean all but we can definitely see it throughout the comments but at the end of the day every character deserves pity and sympathy, they had been through a lot.
Feel free to disagree as I disagree with a lot of your points but at the end of the day we are entitled to feel how we want isn't it? I guess we can agree to disagree. Then bye
Waitt just adding one more point, also on the part about her lovely being 'cheap and selfish' I do agree to some extent but it's easy to say that she should have done something to correct Calude's action or whatnot but are we forgetting that she who has zero awareness of what kind of family drama Claude is having and even him himself isn't sure of it. What can she do at most by what just telling Claude to be nice to athy? Who he he hates because she unintentionally ended his love of his life. How can we also assume that she is aware that Claude actually treated her badly, as what he ever did was ignore her. Of course, one might say that athy asked Claude to rescue her from drowning but that can't be compared to something as complicated as this. Not to mention he doesn't love her as he did in athy's perspective as to him she was merely used to relieve his pain.
In all at least athy have now many who genuinely loves her and cares for her a lot unlike Jeannette who in the past life actually was never really loved but just was pampered as she bring some sort of value to them. She never really had someone who loves her and value her the most. Her idea of family seems very naive but I won't say shallow as how many of us in real life is even able to understand and be very realistic about the idea of family and what it means to be there for one another when we have some much advantage over her. She didn't have much time to understand or develop the same understanding we do to see whether or not if our idea is selfish. She herself understand that it's unconventional but she knows the difference in love and how she doesn't fit in when she was in white's mansion. This shows her great desire towards a real family. Well that's it lol ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Agreed with your point that it's not like she could have made Claude like athy with this complicated family issue that is clearly out of her reach. Not to mention when we haven't even seen the whole thing to see whether or not she knows or even have the power to do anything.
In all honesty, fans being apathetic towards Jennette is ironic given how apathetic Jennette was towards Athy in the original timeline. She took and took and took from poor Athy and eventually got her killed. Athy was nice to her, helped her out, but since Claude didn't care for her, Jennette also didn't bother getting too close to her despite knowing how shitty her life was. When Athy died, she was all like "boohoo so sad comfort me Ijekiel" for two days and moved on. She didn't try correcting Claude on the fact that that he did Athy dirty (which was also something caused by Jennette's own curse). Jennette really didn't care for Athy in the first timeline and it showed when only she, herself, got the happy ending while everyone else suffered. Athy died, Ijekiel married a girl he didn't like cause that's what SHE wanted, Claude died post story and so on and so forth. Her loneliness is her own karma after everything that happened in the original timeline. Of course she's not aware of it but we know that timeline existed for real thanks to Athy (and Lucas; plus Claude who I heard got the memories of that og timeline back in the novel) and karma has a way continuing throughout lifetimes...
There's nothing "lovely" about The Lovely Princess, not even the fake princess herself. The story is told from Jennette's perspective which is why it has a happy tone but we all know how ditzy Jennette really is and misread the atmosphere around her and made herself into a "princess" like she states that she wanted to in this chapter. Her kind of "lovely" is cheap and selfish. I honestly felt bad for her when Ijekiel rejected her but at the same time, I wish he'd done it sooner (and kinder) so that she wouldn't be all up in her head all the time and learn to live in reality. This girl doesn't even question the strange man who randomly shows up at her home. She states herself that there's something different/off about him but continues to spill secrets to him regardless. She's desperate to be a "lovely princess" but is jealous of Athy despite ignoring her situation in the previous timeline....this whole mentality is really messed up. It's a good thing Athy still cares for her but it's understandable why she'd want to stay away from the person who brought nothing but disaster to her in her previous life.
On a side note, season 2's ending was too abrupt and barely accomplished anything. I would have much preferred it if the whole amnesia thing was done and over with and we could move the plot along something more interesting like the confrontation between Claude and his fake brother.
