Idk what it is about webtoons and the nickname Tia. Aristia, Tiararose, Bertia, Artesia. Lotta A names too, like Ariadna and Athanasia... What's going on?
Well.
Aristia sounds aristocratic. That's the whole aesthetic they were trying to put, so I guess they succeeded.
Bertia...TBH I don't like the name and stopped reading the manga after ch 3 so I don't know. I don't remember who Artesia or Ariadna are either.
Athanasia makes sense, since it means immortal if I remember correctly, and ties in with her royal lineage and perhaps transmigration? We'll have to see
As for tiararose...do I even have to talk about that one? The naming sense in that vomit inducing story(pardon my English) is absolutely ridiculous. (I mean, the male lead I practically called a hippo, so like-) Tiara and rose. Bam. Tiararose. I stopped reading that one cause it was cringy as hell and stupid, but I distinctly remember how I hated the naming sense.
Omg I also. wondered about that when I started this
in tiararose's case the whole characters name is so weird, i mean the ML is named water horse loll. i guess same with how white authors arent accustomed to east asian culture when writing a character that is from that said culture (i.e. JK rowling naming cho chang and the patil twins), east asian authors often dont delve into western culture more lol. most of those name are medieval fantasy ish names too not exactly a name so theres that
Yes, but naming the male lead after a hippo was too much for me. It made me laugh tho, so I guess that's ok.
But the others? Ugh. Don't get me started.
I LAUGHED when i saw "prince aquasteed" LMAOOOOOO his royal highness water horse?!?!?!?
Yep.
And hippopotamus comes from the Greek word "water horse"
So lo And behold, I present- prince hippopotamus the first
I really like how this artist draws, like the Titans feel big even when they're in standalone panels or even when it doesn't show their full bodies
Camelotte: *Explodes
Prince: *About to kill himself
Everyone else: ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Bruh every time someone gets taken to a movie theatre or play they show a series of frames with them just crying, laughing, getting scared, getting mad etc.
Truly baffles me that she can condemn someone like that and smile and laugh like nothing happened. None of Mrs. Colline's (or however you spell it because IT KEEPS CHANGING) plans were particularly well thought out or had a high chance of working from the beginning. Literally everyone but Chloe and her maids knew that the northern forest was dangerous (I also don't understand why they would just... Walk into a forest that they don't know the layout of, without a guide, without an escort, without horses, to have a picnic. That's just asking for trouble no matter what kind of forest). Literally everyone but Chloe knew what the Duke's ex looked like, and she would NEVER be able to leave the house without passing multiple people.
Yes, hanging for such offenses is appropriate for the setting. But Chloe had one frame to think 'rip Mrs. Colline ╮(￣▽￣)╭' before it was back to tea, crumpets, and romance.
I definitely see where you’re going with this, but also keep in mind even before the MC was put in Chloe’s body Ms Colline has been abusing her and mistreating her (which historically speaking, in the past it was considered treason to even speak ill of a royal or noble and was punishable by death whether it was bu hanging or decapitation and I believe this is set in that time frame) and even after the MC became Chloe she still tried to give Ms Colline M U L T I P L E chances to redeem herself and let her off the hook each time. But Colline never learned her lesson and pushed her luck one too many times. I also agree that Chloe wasn’t the brightest for trying to have a picnic in a random forest but i think thats because she was told by one of her maids that it was a popular spot because of how pretty it was. I also can see what you’re trying to say about the whole ex-GF situation but Chloe’s friend noticed what was up and got her over to the store as quickly and discretely as she could.
I'd also like to point out that it wasnt Chloe or the Duke who set the punishment aside from the 300 lashes it was the imperial court who judged her based on her own actions, particularly that of attempted murder (most likely) of a noble that got her the death sentence. While it might be a bit sad that she received a death sentence it is not like her and Chloe were ever close friends or even acquaintances, not to mention before and after she became her maid she actively tried to destroy Chloe for a fairly long time so I don't necessarily see why it would make sense for Chloe to mourn her.
She was like "Oh I guess he doesn't love me" after he got her those expensive earrings, but she knows what kind of person he is. He literally bought her an entire tea shop's ware, a warehouse with a parlour to drink it in, and a large store to sell her goods in. And she accepted it! "Something humbler" my ass. Comparatively, I feel like earrings are not that big a deal (you can make whatever arguments you want about how they could be expensive gems more valuable than all that shit combined, whatever). She clearly has some form of interest in fashion or she would not be wearing the dresses that she does. It's good that he explained afterwards about how he's bad at expressing his feelings, that was very sweet.
Another thing, it seems oddly convenient that she carries a tea set everywhere she goes, even to a social event hosted by the king?? Like, why? Were you expecting him not to serve refreshments? What purpose would there be to carrying a FULL TEA SET with at least EIGHT CUPS around EVERYWHERE you go in a rattling carriage, and a container of a tea we have never seen up to this point?
She was so shocked and nervous when the king and everyone asked to try her tea, but that literally happens all the time now. The prince has tried her tea. Her husband is proud of it. She's opening a store for milk jam (and undoubtedly, tea later) and everyone who knows her knows about her tea. Tea makes up the composition of her entire personality at this point. And she's surprised when people ask to try it???? smh
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHSHAHAHHQHAHAHA SIS WENT OFF
You came for her neck!!
Well, Chloe must've felt like she's being payed/rewarded for playing her role as the Duchess (since it's a contract marriage), and when she was given the warehouse and store, Alphonse did say it as "our" and this (the store)would be considered as business and to increase the finance and fane of Vanderborg (I hope I spelled this right) and our sweet Chloe is pretty dense, so she must've felt that the gift didn't have a sentimental value.
She must be carrying that set everywhere because her tea-skills are slowly growing popular among the nobles and some of them are waiting for her to screw up in anyway to cause bad/false rumors (as her not brewing tea upon request can be considered as being rude)
She was nervous when the emperor asked her was because he's extremely powerful and there was an audience when he requested her to brew tea (when the prince requested her, there were no external audiences) and if in any way the tea tasted badly, Vanderborg's esteem would be damaged and Chloe's hard work would go to waste.
She was chubby and freckled for all of 10 panels huh.
I completely forgot about the slime and cat too because they don't add much to the story.
We'll see how it goes I guess
