is no one gonna talk about the fucking toe nail situation because THAT SHIT FUCKING HURTS LIKE FUUUUUUCK
came to the comment section to gush about the baby sleeping with the cat because that was so cute but just got disappointed.
(rant below, you can read if you want but im not looking for a debate, im just simply seeking an outlet to release )
because abuse (any type of abuse) is not so easily solved like some people think. yeah, let's just go blame everything on bianca and yvonne AND NOT THE ACTUAL FUCKING PERSON WHO IS DOING THE ACTUAL FUCKING ABUSE and the fucking people who HID it.
you know why abuse victims have a history of being unable to get away from the situation? because they are made to think that what they are going through is shameful, so they do everything they can to hide it, ESPECIALLY TO THEIR FAMILY.
especially in this manhwa's TIME PERIOD, WHERE PATRIARCHY IS MOST PREVALENT, which is fucking worse than in our time-which people kinda conveniently forgot???
Just because the FL is special because of her status and abilities, IT DOES NOT APPLY TO EVERY FEMALE IN THIS STORY, even if it's the sister of her most trusted maid who was in a different village, which is practically almost in a DIFFERENT COUNTRY if you compare their modes of travel to modern times to this manhwa's time period, again, something in which people keeps neglecting to take into the picture.
And the entire fucking village somehow had knowledge or an idea of what was happening BUT ALTOGETHER HAD A SILENT AGREEMENT TO HIDE WHAT WAS HAPPENING (because duh, who would want to report this and have negative attention from nobles who could and would make them disappear in a single order? haha not them)
we need to think about the SETTING of this manhwa, their time period, the status of each character, the mindset of other side characters compared to the leads, BEFORE WE PUSH ALL THE BLAME TO SOMEONE.
ABUSE IS NOT BLACK AND WHITE; almost as everything in this world exists in shades of gray which can be influenced by INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND PERSPECTIVES.
it's really heartbreaking to see that the attention are fixated on the perceived inadequacy or delayed response to the abuse, instead of directing their outrage towards the abuser and those who actively concealed or remained silent about the situation, which perpetuates a very troubling trend of victim-blaming and misplaced accountability.
this kind of reminds me of under the oak tree. the fl was abused by her father all her life and did everything she could to hide this from everyone around her, especially her husband. people in the comments are always complaining about her not telling her past to her husband Riftan, but they don't understand the shame and guilt the victims go through.
i agreeeeeeee! this is also why I sometimes lose my will to share my excitement on the comment section
im always in awe of the word building in this manhwa-the costume design, the furnitures, the buildings, the freaking sceneries-just, THEY'RE ALL BEAUTIFUL ༎‿༎
like, ill die from the cuteness too like aaaAAAHHHHHHHH THANK YOU FOR CLEARING UP THE ISSUE AAAAAHHHHHHH
anita needs some SELF INTROSPECTION
she was warned MULTIPLE TIMES but anita just went: "im doing this BECAUSE I LOVE HIM!" like girl?! there's a limit to how naive you can get! you were literally being put in the sidelines and YOU DEFINITELY FELT THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG but you still went: "SELF DENIAL MODE". and then went: "IM GONNA EXTERMINATE HIS DESCENDANTS WHO DEFINITELY DESERVES IT AND ALL OF THEIR PEOPLE WHO ARE DEFINITELY NOT INNOCENTS BECAUSE THEY DEFINITELY HAD A PERSONAL HAND IN EXTERMINATING MY KIND" ha. anita needs some SELF INTROSPECTION. what she needs to do is to bring back that idiot first king as an undead & torture him (physically & mentally) for eternity since he can no longer die. she's all powerful, she most probably can do THAT.
i get that but isn’t that like the point of her character? she didn’t listen to what anyone said, fell head over heels for a man who constantly used her, and got her people killed for it. she naive but i feel like her bringing revenge on the first kings blood line instead of bringing him back herself kind of shows a different side to her, her original side, not the cunning, plotting anita we know but the naive girl she actually was/is. the pain she went through shouldn't just end with him, yknow? idk like yeah it’s stupid and naive to bring revenge YEARS AFTER the first kind died but she is sensible so i feel like it’s not outside her character
yes, that was the point. that was why i said what i said the irony of this is that she has the brains and ability to literally make a whole kingdom under her feet but doesn't use it on the CORRECT TARGET (which is the first king only)
ohhhh okay
i did NOT read over 250 chapters just for this to fucking kill all of them at the end. just, NO.
haven't read the novel sooooo i dont know what's gonna happen BUT i find the old guy(?)/captain(?) suspicious
