hell yea talk abt the flawed system of marriage and amatonormativity and how the common forms of happiness aren’t automatically a default or a “natural” or a given, break down these societal barriers we created, love that!
my hope is that they get to meet lesbians, and maybe polyamorous people, and maybe yuriko meets other aroaces. man maybe i should just buy the whole series on kindle lolol i wanna reread forever

sorry but the concept of turning a human into a real fucking sword has me cackling, what the fuck lsjdejdjdj
aside from that im often all for these revenge/redemption isekai type stories but idk this one isnt giving. maybe its the fact that she’s well above 400 years old, and is manipulating a child, basically grooming him to carry out her plans. a real g would just do it themselves

nice break from the family’s brouhaha. i hope he can behave, it seems he’s figured out being a bit annoying helps move courtney away from being so nervous, but now isnt the time to play around mr mans! pls be normal!
my hope is that the family says some dumb shit and the prince hears it all, and hopefully can see just what shes dealing with. he does have some sense, rlly wanna see more of him being a functional member of society and the royal family instead of the denegerate masochist he usually is (who i also like dont get me wrong)

what’s my name by uma from disney’s descendants 2
man i was beginning to sour on the duchess cuz of the necklace incident but she redeemed herself so we gucci. the father is a piece of shit though, i wont stop hating him. shit father, shit father in law. he can suck my balls. idc if he speaks up for edith once or twice, hes a shit person. hoping he kicks the bucket in this baby war theyre dragging.

Honestly, I never really got mad over the necklace, I think it was a bit lowering to only define Edith by if she got a big hunk of stone to wear too, not that they were limiting her to that, but I felt that even if it was the story controlling things, that it wasn't a big deal, these stories have rich nobles but they be acting real broke and unimportant, as Edith says, low self esteem and shameful plugs

it wasn’t about the necklace itself, it was more the fact that they denied edith yet another thing that traditionally would go to her. she doesn’t get any acceptance or proper treatment from that family, and when the duchess was standing there like “it was our decision” i was sorely disappointed cuz i thought she was on edith’s side. (basically what yanka said lol)
when she started thinking “why didn’t i think of edith once all day?” i started to understand that it was probably some sort of “voice” story thing, and she’s been making up for it with her actions since, so ive let it go.
don’t get me wrong the necklace is the most bombastic loud thing ever, and truthfully i’m glad she didn’t wear it cuz it looked too showy for her character anyway. but it’s more what the necklace symbolizes/communicates btw edith and the rudwicks.

God...I totally feel you...like it felt really nice when the duchess wore the dress that edith chose for her, and as far as the necklace is concerned, tbh I don't even remember how the girl looked like wearing it because when I read the chapter my eyes only went towards the necklace which as you said was showy. Now when I try to imagine the necklace, all that come to my mind is that bright blue colour

yes! when the duchess wore edith’s dress after ages of only wearing lize’s choices it felt way more impactful than any stupid blue necklace could’ve. really does feel like she’s making more effort to remember edith and include her as much as possible now.
i don’t remember what she looked like wearing the necklace either tbh, all i rmr thinking was “that necklace is too loud for that dress” and that was it. i’m sure if i go check my thought will be the same. i believe she only wore it once yh, during the… greeting the emperor ball? edith’s first public ball appearance since marriage. hopefully it never shows up again. gaudy jewelry is one thing but that thing is so overpowering, makes sense that its a statement maker and not a reoccurring item.

omg miss maam thats gonna come back and bite u i. the ass i wish u wouldnt :( but whatever, ppl have varying feelings towards their family ig. anyways courtney’s rlly cute ////// that lil hop was so djdjsjdjd
never seen a wedding like this in my life lemme tell u, very inch restin. and no underwear??? mad.

is it meant to be scary fr cuz im so confused
idk abt him “owning her emotions” esp in the context of their relationship but sure…? i think…
her family is so shit, and i rlly think that she shouldnt feel bad for disparaging them. u dont choose ur family, unfortunately. them being terrible terrible people doesnt make u complicit in it.

i suppose that makes sense. usually im only into it when theyre both weirdos abt it cuz then its like ok they match each others freak, but as it stands it rlly seems like she has to do what it takes to keep this engagement cuz without the royal backing she’s powerless, and so it feels kinda… not great, i think. im hoping the prince helps to empower her beyond the whole submission thing, cuz i want to see her grow more confident :(
im not sure how i’d feel abt a man that’s obsessed w me to this level either. i think id like it if he were submissive cuz i Hate men who try to take the lead w me lmfao

Honestly, I hope she would be able to ditch her family (not the nephew) and let emperor cover it up as some accident. And also, I hope he is the way I think he is, an obsessed man worshipping anything she does. I don't want to believe he'll do anything that she explicitly doesn't want to do
And I'd like a obsessed submissive man too lol.

+ i plan to watch the netflix adaptation soon. i thought it was cute, bittersweet ending but well. that’s reality i guess. no stories are ever concluded, even when someone dies. (no one dies in here im just being all thinky and annoying)
the last couple chapters felt a tad rushed but what can ya do. just. rlly good ^^

since hes submitting to ur will u can make him write 5 pages of apology without getting perverted… but then he would prob be even more freaky, just not able to write it on the paper he gives u… hmm. what a conundrum…
anywho this family is rlly a bunch of dumbasses huh. pls im begging u to take the nephew and dip. they keep making comments abt how having imperials as inlaws is rlly useful but i bet whats gonna happen is theyll start going to the prince for help instead and alas, he will only listen to courtneys final word on how to handle them. sucks to suck dumbfucks!
if u wanna read the garbage translations uploaded by mangago bot thats ur prerogative, but the rest of us who care abt the quality of what we’re reading appreciate the people like akumakira and jujucat. also you know u can reread the better quality chapters while you wait for the next uploads? or just ignore the better quality uploads altogether???
like idk why this is such a point of contention. it’s on yall for reading ahead and spoiling your palate ahead of time, don’t be coming for the quality uploaders cuz then you screw over everyone if they decide to stop uploading due to ur stupid complaints.
