they're "soul partners" or whatever, and they're both women, yes. i believe they're very much in love

okay you have to trust me when I say I don't want to sound homophobic because I'm queer myself, but honestly I don't think soul partners have got anything to do with being in love with eachother- because (spoilers)







our mc and the prince also inevitably become soul partners according to the spoilers, and I believe the mc doesn't yet end up with anyone romantically in wherever the novel is currently

oh yeah canonically, sure. i am sure the author doesn't mean anything romantic by this arrangement. but i, as a normal human being who has brain that can process thoughts, understand how laughable it is to label two people "soul partners" and then INSIST it's not romantic. i mean shit, there's a whole ass subreddit dedicated to stuff like this - sapphoandherfriend.
this is not me discrediting platonic relationships as being lesser than romantic ones. but somehow the sanctity of brotherhood and platonic relationships yada yada come up whenever it involves two women or two men. you don't see these weird mental gymnastics when it concerns a man and a woman, only when it's two people of the same sex.

yeah a lot of authors tend to do that it seems. I've heard of a lot of works where the authors write the relationship between two, usually same sex, characters in the most powerfully romantic and iconic way possible but then get mad when the fanbase ships them and they vehemently deny that any such sort of connections exist ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

sometimes one part of the fanbase does it too when the author neither confirms nor denies. the biggest example is the orv fandom. it really boils my blood seeing some people saying they hate the BL ships and don't understand why it exists and that they're sick of it when it's clearly blatant denial. but it's always the ships where it's not just a man and a woman.

i agree with you!! it's so funny how people will start frothing at the mouth if you even imply dokja and joonghyuk have a relationship that's not - gasp - purely platonic! i see this on r*ddit especially.
also people being sick of bl and gay shipping when queer people always have to put up with straight shit shoved down our throats i remember for a while i couldn't go to any sns without seeing some shippy stuff (and sometimes straight up hentai art of the orange haired female character from CM! i don't even engage with any anime stuff!) from fucking Chainsaw Man and Oshi no Ko. i wanted to die

RIGHT????? AND LITERALLY NO FCUKING BODY SEES A PROBLEM WITH THAT.

Tho the notion of soul partners is indeed very romantic, i don't think Empress Frederick and our Cardinal has romantic relationship. Slight spoiler, the previous Emperor and Frederic had a love marriage. Plus empress and Aurielle has been best friends since childhood

Ikr!?!?
I saw this new webtoon posted then saw comments, that's how I found out

Hopefully it don't get too crazy again (￣∇￣")

trigger is gay and she’s in love with the archduke, that won’t be a happy nor healthy relationship

yeah, that'd be a contractual marriage, not a problem. marriages can be successful even without love.

also i know, but does love triumph over every struggle she's gonna face as a duchess? if duke wasn't the duke but maybe a normal person that would've been okay and i would've rooted for him too. but chloe's main goal is to live free and do whatever she wants
what makes you think she can do that as the duchess?

also for the record, homosexual people can fall for people of opposite sex too, it's just very rare
sexuality is fluid.

that was before she fell in love with the duke bro, love changes people and we know they both end up together and chloe is happy so i don’t get ur argument at all

i’m gay and that’s a big no no for me… what’s the point of making an explicitly gay character and making them fall in love with the opposite sex… just make them bisexual at thst point

Im rooting for trigger too! As long as they're both happy, then that's all that matters! Being with the duke will just make Chloe's life more problematic and she already said it herself that she wants a peaceful life:<

bestie did you even read what i wrote later about it being very rare....
...since you really don't get what i'm saying, let me dumb it down for you.
YES, she may love the duke but that's not necessarily the best route to go if she wants to live a life of freedom. LOVE DOESN'T JUSTIFY EVERY STRUGGLE, ESPECIALLY IF WHAT'S BEST FOR YOURSELF CANNOT INCLUDE YOUR S/O IN IT. Do you think couples, who are still in love with each other, don't break up? If you had the chance to live your lifelong dream but it's on a different path of life from the one you love, would you still stick around?

Eventually, she has to choose between the duke or her freedom. Trigger can give her that life of freedom. But the duke can't.

THANK GOD YOU GET ME. Yes!

spoiler alert: she chooses the duke and she ends up way happier

U WANT THIS TO HAPPENED !!! bcoz he’s the ml ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Sorry * I WANT THIS TO HAPPENED !! And bcoz he’s the ml ╮(￣▽￣)╭

if you're gay but fall in love with the opposite sex, you're not gay. you're bi/pan etc. not gay

okay but how is whatever happens later relevant to my argument????????? bruh i-
i'm not gonna lose braincells over this. you win.

you're clearly not properly educated about lgbt. and no it doesn't matter if you're one of us either. ignorance is prevalent in all communities

bruh it's literally fact. gay is being attracted to the same sex. if you're attracted to the opposite sex you're not gay. or could you please enlighten an ignorant one since you obviously must possess more knowledge considering you're saying this so confidently

i get ur point, and i’m not condoning anything jihyun did, but the last 2 eps are an alternate universe where none of it ever happened. so there was no SA that happened in the last two eps

my point still stands
