Ima be fr, Princess Phoenia's Ed obsession a bit ????? Off tangent....... Like, I get it, the guilt eats at you realizing you 'fucked' his life up. But to keep gnawing at the past over a person you dont remotely know of and get so wound up anytime something or someone reminds you of him is..... ?????? Idk. I feel like this one's a bit more forced of a connection more than others or maybe I just dont see the vision haha ( ̄∇ ̄")

Well, there are many people who have a sensitive conscience, including me, that's why I always strive to do good, I can't handle even to lie as a joke, I go tell the joke right away then apologize for lying, I can't handle it at all, but now what she did is kicking a teen out of his home, her own classmate, and made him nearly d** just cause she didn't like him, sure he was bad but that was so out of proportion, it's only logical that guilt is eating at her conscience, it is weirder when they don't care after ruining your life like sociopaths. Imo, so I wonder if my opinion of what's happened helped you understand haha?

I didnt take it as her being guilty of "fucking up his life", but rather she's feeling guilty over the fact that she kicked him out not realizing that he is a hidden talent.
The way she hesitated to sacrifice the pawn while playing a game of chess can be interpreted as her thinking "what if this pawn is just like Ed back then when he was still seemingly useless and can be discarded anytime but then he grew to be someone valuable"
I don't think it's that far off tangent. She did mention that she thought she was good at reading people, but after Ed, she's now doubting herself and her ego was beaten or something lol.
I mean if I kicked someone out of my group in a groupwork because I deemed them useless(considering their past actions) and then their individual work was reasonably graded higher than our group I'd be pretty devastated too. Her situation is a lot more serious considering she's a princess but this is just an example so we can relate heh.
And I guess right after this since Ed apparently is dead and she can't say let bygones be bygones or form an amicable relationship with a dead talent, she probably is gonna have a breakdown lmao. And I still dont think that's overreacting since she seems like someone who was always right and gets her way no matter what, she's gonna feel like she lost something and is gonna blame herself for his death even tho its most definitely not related to anything she's done smh

Yeah, Id kill myself if I wasnt informed for years I had a child and my lover just....... Left when we were on bad terms. No note, no sign, no nothing. This wasnt even a consensual child making and now we have complicated feelings and feel so beat down we just let our partners' other versions get sexual favors so they listen to us more. What a crazy life to live my boi Nux. I pity ya and I dont want ya life (︶︿︶)

Is it me, am I rly the problem?
Its been nagging at me and I tried to shut up for as long as I could while season 1 ended and a new season has begun.... BUT! That fucking slave collar gives me the ick i cant believe my regressor brobro in Christ thinks he's making a statement [literally] by cutting jt and saying it's a symbol of his renewed identity and self and wears it with his other fits like a fashion statement. It is not deep fashion its giving

Been OK if it was either cuffs or a regular fucking choker, but not with the chain or a chain necklace that is kinda you know broken at the bottom like that would’ve been nice but not a whole ass joker with a chain on it. I do agree with you on it like either or regular ass choker Chain necklace or cuffs and I think it’s mostly the design that is the issue. I don’t even think it by itself is the issue it’s the way that they designed it. That is the issue. It looks like crap.

I think I now understand why I feel this way. Ive seriously been mulling over it and I realized (not to lean on the social justice angle or my coocoo koolaid conspiracy mind) but it doesnt look good for 2 reasons: the way its designed and its backstory. See, aesthetics alone, I had to do a quick pinterest stalk to check that I wasn't going crazy. As you said, variations of a cop's cuffs as a bracelet turns into a studded leather cuff or actual cufflinks of the chain could be used. Many baddies (leaning or not into bdsm territory) make chunky chokers and thick chains look cute both guy and girl but Vikir's just.... Looks ugly. Like, it doesn't fit his very upstandard and proper englishmen-esque fits. Not even with their skilled artist(s?) capabilities which is WHEW. Second and last reason and bear with me here, do you remember the mixed couple who did a whole-ass slave and owner plantation engagement photoshoot?? While what Vikir has is nothing compared to that craziness, I think I feel the ick from a mile away is because.... He doesnt rly get to earn the cutting of his chains. He never rly got to struggle integrating and settling with the barbarian community. I would argue that he felt more at home and saw them as family more than he did Baskerville. To cut my rambling short, I fear.... i find his reasons of integrating that choker of his 'struggles and hardships and finding community' tactless at most and corny at best. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ Bro was too good and his words of struggle dont coincide with his easy integration with the barbarians. My guy wasnt sweating when he first was to be the community's new collective sperm donor and fit right in kicking the chief's grandson and most honored guys out of the spotlight to be flashed on him. In short, it aint look good on him and he aint earned the right to wear a tacky chain that wasn't integrated well with his fits because he never rly went through slavery SLAVERY FR. He just..... Kinda cosplayed a bit. At any time he coulda left idk ive gon crazy rambling haha (⌒▽⌒)

I do agree with your meaning, but I feel like the joker was actually supposed to signify what happened later on with him, breaking his chains for his hatred, and not exactly the barbarian or whatever I think it was meant more to signify his revenge and why he’s doing everything I think that the authors want her to do it but he wasn’t going to see her after you get my drift that’s what I feel like it was and I want hundred percent get it about the labor thing like that’s fucked up And I don’t like that. They kinda angled it that way.
But I also do like that. It looks a little off with his English man like a tour that he wears for the soul fact that it signifies him no longer conforming him now being different and already finding his comfort space but I think the biggest issue is the way they and the way they wanted to do it didn’t suit him as well as the design itself kind of Looks too plain and looks a little bit out of place. There’s one specific anime character that I can point out that has stuff like this she doesn’t have but she does have cuffs. I keep forgetting the name. It’s like the genie one like Aladdin not the Disney movie.

As much as I want to see Ram and Kanon and the other kids thrive, we have an ML with an incurable disease of 'Oh, you've suddenly become interesting so now I'm not letting you go.'
I hate MLs with stupid mental gymnastics like this. To say the least, this stoopid trope is tiiiiring and overdone and if done in real life is MENTAL. Dropping this (⊙…⊙ )
Sorrows, sorrows, prayers.

I just know this ish will ruin me so bad.
In a better world, you guys couldve grown up as really close twins living a long and good life with your own friends and interests and still support each other without anyone dying. Sucks to be born royalty as twins along with all these assassinations, snakes in your courts, superstitions, expectations and pre-conceived notions of you two :')) in another life, I'd hug both of you, you're just kids who don't deserve to live such lives and deserve to have a childhood.

crossing my fingers i dont get isekai-ed when i sleep tonight. i dont usually comment about how i'd treat MCs better or sumtn but it just hits different when the characters are kids who really cannot easily change their fate like this.
as much as i like them, id rather die than get transported into their world lol
I dont want the implications to Peri's life I deny it !!!! NAUUUUUUUUUUUUUR SHE WAS CHILL GOD PLEASE
