lyrica’s mother was the way she was because of her circumstances. and it’s so poetic how lyrica was the way she was—both in the first life to this, despite these circumstances. 2 sides of the same coin, 2 different reactions to the hands they were both dealing with.
i empathize greatly with her mother and what she had to go through, but abandoning and abusing lyrica’s kindness is inexcusable. which is why all the more i’m rooting for her in their current life, she gets to atone for sins in this way and repay her with all the love lyrica deserves and more. and it feels so much better as a reader too because lyrica’s mother is very aware of this.
This chapter shows that her mother didn't even know kindness existed. Her mother was truly blind to her. She was constantly drowning in the unfairness of the world. She thought that marrying her off to the old count would protect her. She didn't do it out of greed alone.
tbh idgaf. i just want to see helios and the new wife’s life.
diana can repent all she wants and change her perspective in life, but what’s done is done. she can have a redemption arc for all i care, but i hope this does not mean she gets to regain whatever she lost. her falling down from grace is a direct consequence of being stubborn and hardheaded for her way of thinking—not pausing to reflect on why hestia is even opposing her in the first place, and simply thinking of it as petty hate. i think it would also be so unfair for helios after he had spent 7 years before finding a new wife. tho i don’t condone whatever those other girls are doing to her lmao they’re no better
woah, someone who understands nuance in a mangago comment section? this is crazy. I totally agree tho, diana's current position is a direct consequence of her own actions. u could say that she simply wasnt cut out for royalty or was driven up a wall, but imo, it was her own stubbornness, greed, and hubris that led her to her down fall, and no matter how much she repents, the fact that her words and actions literally killed someone/drove someone to want to end themselves is enough damage to last her a lifetime reflecting. but I also agree that she doesn't deserve to be treated the way she is by some of the ppl in her hometown. no one deserves to be used as a stepping stool for others to feel more superior, but ig u could also say its a bit ironic how the tables have turned. the bullying is quite petty, but it must still be hard to fall from grace that hard, only to be continued to be tormented in the place u consider to be closest to being a haven
right, it’s so hard to come by these days bc of how easy and convenient it is to perceive things in just black and white lol
me not giving a fuck about whatever happens to diana and not wishing for her to get back all that she lost doesn’t mean i want her to be harassed and bullied. i was rooting for her to understand where hestia was coming from and maximize their joint slay together in order for the common people to be more empowered bc of how influential their positions are. she just wasn’t ready for it, and it’s sad bc she was simply a product of her time and environment. as compared to hestia who came from another world and was privileged enough to have an education to be able to do the things she did.
i hope we get side stories!!! they are so cute !!!!!!
what's pissing me off is that he can't take no for an answer like the actual audacity. what gestella does and who she interacts with is none of his fucking business like if he can't stand it then he can simply fall off the face of the world lmao
rolling my eyes at every time he says “even though she loves someone else
i was expecting angst but all i got was frustration lmao. nothing worst than an emotionally constipated man whose hand you need to hold to help them navigate their feelings. but honestly, i would’ve just brushed his uncomfyness aside as like best friend jealousy if it wasn’t obvious to me (and their friend group lol) how important she is to him and how the blonde girl is literally just a friend, comrade even, he can confide in.
tho i’m still curious to how this will end and whatever the fuck is going on with that sketchy dude shes dating rn
does anyone have reccs that are similar to this? especially leaning on the insane, yandere-like partner lmao bl/gl/hetero is ok
It's not as crazy yandere/mental health focused as this, but I highly highly recommend this!!
