Oof Medea needs to take down the emperor soon, he's seriously messed up and OBVIOUSLY doesn't love Psyche, for him she's just an eaaaaasy target, a puppet he can easily control. At the start he didn't want Medea because she is smart and equally cunning, someone he definitely has no chance of controlling. Seriously tho, imagine Psyche's life if she really married him.... She would be in a golden cage, used to obey the emperor, more like a servant than a lover. Psyche's innocent but she better learn how to be stronger since in this world you "eat" or get "eaten".
I get that what the parents did was not right, replacing a dead person but still the behaviour of these children is unacceptable. Blaming her for just existing, even tho she didn't nothing wrong is beyond ridiculous. I know they are children but still this type of cruelty is not excused, especially towards a person that they knew she used to have no family and living in the streets. Just a tad bit of sympathy wouldn't be bad.
But it’s understandable.
They’re just children who am have just lost their only little sister. And the parents who were supposed to mourn and care for them brought in a random girl off the streets who happens to look like they’re dead sister. And then replaced her like nothing happened.
And on top of that they show special attention to Hari and get upset when the boys act out against the stranger forced into they’re home.
The thing is that it IS normal for emotionally unstable children to express themselves through acting out.
Not only are these children grieving and unstable, but they were just thrust into an entirely new environment and their parents aren’t acknowledging them positively and clearly like before.
They want their sister back but instead a complete stranger is forced into their intimate lives and they are just expected to change. It’s normal for them to retaliate in anyway they can. Kids are selfish.
Theyre still hella young, wdym they should have been intelligent enough? intelligence has nothing to do with it, its just the behavior of children. their brains havent fully developed and their sister just died. do you really expect a child to be as emotionally capable as an adult? You say that some sympathy wouldnt be bad and youre not wrong, but these are children who have never experienced the streets. They only know that their sister has died and this child is trying to take her place. You and I would probably act the same
Hari came from a different background though. She didn’t torment them back the first time because she was raised alone in the streets and if your grow up on the streets then you know better then to retaliate towards people who are obviously stronger.
Now that she’s traveled back in time however she isn’t being sympathetic towards the boys or trying to understand their perspective. Right now she is still mentally a 27 year old and she said it herself that the current situation is “cute”
She was bullied and has trauma no doubt, but she’s now an adult and she’s acting petty. The stuff where she had to sit next to the mom in the carriage and how she keeps repeating to wants to go back. Eugene is mad because he thinks, despite his parents obvious favoriteism of a stranger and how they ignore his blood siblings, the girl they adopted of the streets doesn’t even wanna be there.
I still don't understand in what way you find this understandable. She literally did nothing, she was just there how the heck can you justify their actions that even continued till she grew old? Their action were severe to the point it was about to turn to murder. What i acknowledge as normal behaviour is ignoring and not accepting as a sister that i understand but torturing her every day? Fucking abnormal and cruel.
bruv but they are children. if you want to get a child psychology degree and prove me wrong, go ham I guess. she did nothing wrong but that doesnt mean that they didnt view it that way. I'm not saying shes in the wrong, it's the parents who are in the wrong. idk where it talks about how it almost turned into murder, I'll have to reread that section I guess lol. I'm also not justifying their actions when they get old?? I'm saying that we're focused on their actions right now... when they're children uhh... theres no excuse to their behavior in the future when they are adults but please keep in mind that the MC went back in time and the boys are kids right now
Their actions aren't justified when they are children either. Like i said ignoring and not accepting her as their sister would be okay and understandable but abusing her every day just because she exists is beyond bad. Even now, in the new chapters the oldest one admits that their actions are not excusable, he realises that what he does is wrong but he's still doing it.
It isn’t something a kid raised under normal circumstances would do but we aren’t talking about “average” kids.
These behaviors ARE normal for a kid put under emotional stress and trauma. It’s normal BC of their parents and Hari’s actions have made them unstable.
I’m not saying this is Hari’s fault the first time around she really didn’t understand what was wrong and why her moving into the family like she did was upsetting.
But now, as a 27 year old back in time, she does know and she is actively making things worse.
Any child would act the same under the boys circumstances
I agree withat i never said they are the average. I just said that this sort of behaviour isn't understandable judging their circumstances. Avoidance is understandable not abuse. And no, she's not making things worse. She tries to win them over,not make them believe she is their dead sister like her "mom". She shows them that she's also a victim in the same circumstances instead of letting their destructive nature grow just like how she did in the past by not standing up for herself since she was a helpless kid. SHE is as helpless as they are, she grew with psychological and maybe physical abuse both from the parents that wanted to use her as replacement but from the brothers that definitely didn't make the situation any better, her living circumstances were so bad that she couldn't wait to get married and leave. Marriage was something like a ticket to her freedom from abuse, not a sign of love.
Also you don't know me, don't be too quick to assume anything about my life. You don't know whether I've been through a trauma or not. Also don't act like you're oh so knowledgeable. You do the same as those guys you're talking about do, show sympathy only with the brothers and directly placing the girl into the position of the villain lol you do the same but reverse. You're not better and you definitely don't know more to judge others.
I never said I was talking about you but clearly this needs to be said.
Avoidance could have been your coping mechanism ( assuming you yourself have trauma) and it’s reasonable and common.
However so is bullying. At the current stage the kids are in, this isn’t abuse. They are frustrated and don’t know how to deal with their emotions so they are releasing their feelings onto Hari, and they do it to Hari because they know a lot of their negative feelings came from her arrival.
As common as avoidance is, bullying is also an unhealthy but common coping mechanism.
And as you said, you shouldn’t be so quick to judge others for how they deal with things if you yourself haven’t been in their situation or felt with their emotions.
I’ve said this already but I’m not villainizing Hari. I understand she went through a lot but she is an adult now and her behavior isn’t ok. I understand she’s trying to convince herself it’s a dream but she’s being selfish and hurting the boys more.
Eugene was slapped in the face by his BIOLOGICAL FATHER, because she wanted to eat a candy she KNEW was important and sentimental to him.
I’m not acting, I am knowledgeable. I’ve learned through personal experience and seen from outside perspective while these things happened to people Ik. Not that you would’ve known but I’ve also studied the psychology.
This IS understandable behavior. It’s not healthy and they should be corrected but it makes since why they retaliated this way
And how exactly is she making things worse? She's only getting close with them, not making them believe she is their dead sister as i said in my previous text in case you didn't read it. And yes, bullying IS abuse. Also, anyone can say is knowledgeable but this doesn't necessarily make you that. Well, go ahead believe what you want, it's your opinion I'll respect that but you should also respect mine. This discussion is getting nowhere, i stand to my own opinion and you can stand to yours. That's all from me.










One's a stalker and one's a manwhore, sea in frond and cliff on the back. I just hope the heroine gets her phobia cured at least.
The stalker does it out of love at least ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ idk man I'm trying to make the best out of the options for her
i mean ... doing sketchy things "out of love' is in no way ok. at least this guy is trying to help her get better. he's trash, but it doesn't seem like he would actually hurt her. her stalker on the other hand is totally willing to make her a shut in....
True true, if the playb
If the playboy actually falls in love with her and stops being a mnawhore than he would be the definite option
i rather be with a cheater than an abuser lol
I'd rather be single. Past me wasnt seeing straight, I cannot be held accountable for anything I said in the past.
same id be single too...
with the stalker... is that an option though??? (kidnapping) :{
It took me a good 5 minutes to comprehend what was written here. I'm assuming you meant that if you were single the stalker would kidnap you or just stalk you. Restraining order.
We can be single together...
lol sorry for being so vague. yeah, i mean I too would choose to be single, but that may be hard to do when the person in question is not giving you a choice in the matter... i mean, i'd rather be have a trashy boyfriend then be dead or locked up in a basement. idk how effective a restraining order would be with a psychopath.
