if i was roxanna, i'll be emotionally and mentally exhausted. keeping everyone in check, plotting her survival, i can't keep living like that which is why i find her sooo commendable. she deserves more than a simple recognition and a pat on the back. she deserves everything ╥﹏╥ imagine waking up in this kind of reality... boy i'd never make it to my 1st bday

However, as a historian and based on evidence, I can confirm that in war-like environments (like her family's home pretty much is) many people become callous. Just look at the Abu Ghraib case in the early 2000s, where US-American soldiers tortured Afghan prisoners.
I specialise in the Yugoslavian Wars of the 1990s. Back then, because populists and nationalists agitated the masses and instilled fear into the different ethnic groups, you suddenly had neighbours, school mates, and even relatives killing each other, culminating in genocide. And those were (mostly) completely normal people.
Fear changes people and brings out the worst in humans.

man, having a child at 16 and at the same time experiencing her husband going to war, father-in-law's death and late funeral, constant hungry relatives barging in to covet her husband's title, her sister's miscarriage, and her father's death? i would like to ask you, CAN YOU FCKING HANDLE THAT? i get she neglected her son, she said she knows what she did and she'll be forever sorry for that fact, but if you were her can you go on living without losing a part of yourself when a single matter can already give you anxiety?
hello?? i already want to give her a good job hug when she realized she did them wrong and wants to improve. not everyone can do that bc most of the time they're stuck in that unending sadness. tbh i find her commendable bc she wants to go back in time for her son, family even, not bc he'll cause her death and wants to prevent it but bc she wants to make up to them. that's it. no plotting in changing the events, just to make up for her family.
too late to say and feel sorry? bruh, how hypocrite of you. intentional or unintentional you probably have hurt someone before, but have you said sorry for it? if you have good for you but if you haven't, take the step or you'll regret it like her. if you don't want to apologize bc you believe they deserve it, it better be something not petty like stealing your candy.
yes, not all the time you can say the word sorry at the exact time you have hurt someone. at times it even takes years just to say that single word. but for her who obviously suffers from post-partum and depression, that's something important so don't shrug it like it's nothing. i like it that she's doing her best to heal.

the pregnancy reveal...
I WAS SO HAPPY I CRIED SO MUCH.
man. that moment went he received a red letter.
I WAS BAWLING MY EYES OUT.
when he was dispatched to leyte and got shot.
I WAS BAWLING MY EYES OUT.
when his family received a notif of his death with his will. i know he won't die but—
I WAS BAWLING MY EYES OUT.
when he showed up near his tombstone while carrying his twins and waiting for butterfly.
I WAS BAWLING MY EYES OUT.
aaaaaa nothing beats good ol shoujo like this ಥ‿ಥ

well... alex has a loooooooong way to go before he becomes a king who can make his kingdom flourish. i'm not saying he can't, but he needs to step up his way of thinking and priorities or it will really take a long time.
now let's talk abt THE KISS ( ꈍᴗꈍ) aaaaa that was so cute. and now that he confirmed it's his biggest crush yessica in flesh, there'll be so much fluff along the way (≧▽≦)
but let's be real. she needs to confess why she had to run away from her kingdom. i know it won't be easy, but i hope she'll find alex trustworthy for that so he could somehow ease her worries or even help her. THO i wish their romance won't come out as a distraction for alex.
i'm gonna trigger some ppl here but so far, dan as an ml is a bit underwhelming. true he looks good but my trio looks better. i know he has reasons as to why he keeps her at arms length but tbh his character is still unclear that sometimes i feel like he'll be blurred in the background.
on the other hand, EUGENE WOULD'VE MAKE A BETTER ML. yeah, i said what i said.
EUGENE SUPREMACY
