sure am glad I'm no deity and don't have to deal with a endless loop of these two going "take me!" "no, take me!"
Yeah, I'll bite, if only for that sister. She's got that "everyone but my little sister is vermin" etched all over and as far as I can see, she's gaming the system pretty well (not supposed to elevate her illegetimate sibling = it's a gift because I don't want it anymore)
Granted she went to undergo theological training just to get out of the picture but still. This gotta be peak frustration.
"Actually, the founding myth (and subsequent theology) is bullshit"
I am only on the what---? third chapter? I can kind of get all the usual yammer of "you too would do xyz if you'd die if not"
But honestly. I suppose I am too old for this stuff, cause I know myself and I know that after being deathly afraid for 5-7 hours a switch is being flipped and I WILL ACT out. I will face whatever it is (not neccessarily with the most thought through plan). So by the 20th time this lunatic goes "bored, bored" (bonus points if fondling his sword handle like a perv) I'd just slap him. Until satisfied or I find something heavier.
"But you have to take in all this new information and try to-"
Yeah, so stab me.
Corr and Illia? I mean why not? Both seemed very interested?
Selena? (to clarify, the woman that got palpitations by the mention of MONEY)
Ignus? The man is enduring so much gay panic he's absolutely missing out on everything else going on. He's also cooking his brain cell 90% of the time by blushing with all his might. Man's glowing in the dark, thinking of his Knight.
Rowan? walking stress ulcer? verbal table tennis player extraordinaire with resident foolish prince
Celestine (the OG); I am starting to ship him with Letio in a father-son way or something
Letio? If this is the OG MC then I really have to wonder about the genre; maximally stressed homicidal maniac "God, do I have to kill them too? So much to do, such little time"
When skull-cracking head trauma doesn't put you out but IN
Sis has an ever growing list of people who need a whoop
This isn't THAT original and all, but I will still always gravitate towards deadpan characters (yes, now I know why, it's fine).
But my heart went WIDE for her the moment she was all:
*clenches fist*
"Let's ruin it"
*sabotaged by perfectionism*
"You truly are a honest man".
"Is that a compliment?"
"Who knows."
Esteban, your personality is leaking out, you might wanna tuck that back in. *considers previous instances* ...forget it, nevermind.
That was nicely executed, no?
Thinking you're meant to be a hero, so you act like one and feeling like it's just beyond your fingertips, so you put a little MORE effort, even though maybe that isn't morally pure anymore, so well, why not push some more, indeed, after all this work you DESERVE a good outcome, no? That wasn't a downfall, that was a trickle
I'm glad Seowoo is back at it again, the man has a mission, he is determined. "Where there is a will there is a way"
(Mr. Reaper starting to eat paper in the background)
Ruth being ruthless as ever.
And here's the ace up my sleeve and just so you know, Imma train you under this pretense until I can slack off in my tower for eternity
thank you @anjeekat, reading the summary I thought I was having a stroke
I'm so goddamn unreasonably proud of this fictional character going "console me" to his boyfriend instead of looking for the same comfort he'd been finding at the bottom of several bottles
If they use Ilyan staggering around in a feverish haze to redeem his mantlepiece abomination of a father, imma pitch a hissy fit
Jade going to develop an ulcer at this rate. "All these men and all of them useless!"
When you say "My boss is a demonic snake" and that isn't even the weirdest part.
"My palace is about to be blown up, please stick out your ass more"
...
I'm gonna...I'm just gonna decide that they both fit together.
Esteban going: no worries, but where were we?
Lew going: the one thing I can do about mortal embarassement is RAMBLE (and if that looks like he has a clue, that only counts until you realize he's buttnaked for all of it)
Where's my appreciation for the trash prince's fiancee? That little lady looked at the challenge and (after a little coaching in using blunt force instruments, presumably) WENT FOR THE THROAT
