yeaaaaars ago i was listening to a mixtape on soundcloud, and i asked the prod for the link to a section of it, this finding this song https://on.soundcloud.com/4IeHPi8Konl7dDU8n8 (tokyo house mix by DFKFM) and i was like. huh those 2 gyals on the cover look sort of fruity. like rhe gaydar was going off ygm?? AND LO&BEHOLD!!??? THEYRE FAGS!!! I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG GODBLESS LESBIANS WHOOOOOOHOOOOOO

i can’t put everything i feel about this series into words but jesus christ so far it’s been such a good (kind of) twist on the oversaturated “random mob reincarnated into a villainess” trope, the mc is super level headed methodical and calculated throughout the story, but that’s the product of being ostracised by her siblings and father all throughout her previous life. it’s refreshing to follow along with someone who you feel makes rational plans and carries them out with focus. there’s humorous parts of the story plenty of drama and sprinklings of romance that cushion the darker themes of abandonment, emotional suppression and suicidal ideation, but overall the story really stood out because it was so well paced, nothing felt like it dragged on for aages, they arrived at an event/situation/problem/ and penelope considers her options and then does something about it, clean cut & simple they focus on all the different mls pretty evenly and you get a feel for exactly what’s up w them as penelope interacts with them or gets up to shenanigans or whatever lol. im yapping2 much atp but i just needed to try and explain how peak this is (2me anyway). like for example: after countless months of planning possible escape routes, looking behind her shoulders at every turn for dangers, playing the part of the dukes daughter with this alien/fake family (the girl inside penelope’s never met in her fucking life before), the series actually shows that it weighs on penelope, & tht the accumulated stress leaves her exhausted by the end of season 3 (or 4 i forget when she was lamenting to that bird like a crazy woman), anyway alls2say, the authors pacing and penelope’s inner emotional displays are so riveting that by the time penelope realises the love interest she put all her arduous time & energy into raising affection with to escape is a dud, the (thought to be) original daughter returns, and the goblet the “real” daughters about to drink from is laced with a deadly poison that’s going to frame her for murder.. the fact that she just swaps the drinks, accepts that she’s got zero hope of escape, and goes to off herself is extremely reasonable. like you get it, i think id scrap with a guard for his sword and swallow the fucking thing if i was in her shoes. so like, yeah girl! go see those pearly gates and THEN??? when’s she finally thinks she can die in peace, possibly return to her original life… the game system throws her a big fat fuck you and revives her for some stupid ass secret ending!??? i’d be borderline insane. i’d be on the news for multiple GBH charges. like that’s curtains for me babe. and yet she gets her ass back up and starts plotting and planning a way to escape again. genuinely i love this diva. ok enough. i shall silence myself. but let this be known if you’ve read to this point (u’ve just wasted like 3 mins of ur time lol) this series is so good compared to most of the other shitty repetitive reincarnation stories. + the arts sublime! bonnuss :3 ok. if i don’t seeya. goodevening goodafternoon and goodnight
