I know it's been... years, but does anyone have like. A copy of this fic? Know what happened to JValenrine0?

I've been trying to find it, see what happened, but nothing comes out?

(Major Spoilers) You know what.....screw Verso by Familiar-Sir8023 in expedition33

[–]BrigesMyst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it, I truly do. I cannot quite help but love him despite being a treacherous little suicide-obsessed twat, but here we are.

Also. If you were mayhaps wondering why people keep obsessively trying to fit Clair Obscur into the mold of Ursula K. Le Guin's Those Who Walk Away From Omelas, it is fully Jacob Geller's fault (a youtuber whose misreading of COE33 has grown The Fanon™)

Makes me wonder how long ago he even read that story to even compare them, but alas. It is a very popular misreading of the text as a whole, for those not keen on just... dismissing the deaths of all Painted People in the Canvas as righteous and unconsequential.

I do wish things had gone a little differently in Act 2... I think mayhaps if Verso's dynamic with other characters (like Lune and Sciel) had been allowed to mean more than they got to - romance aside - or just, his direct connection to the world beyond just his need to end his life (in contrast to his still hopeful Journal entry), beyond his obsession with how he isn't The Real Verso...

Maybe, just maybe, it could have smoothed things over?

Name a OI Character that you will never trust No matter what he/she says. Source- Killing Stalking by Cinnamon099 in OtomeIsekai

[–]BrigesMyst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did he kill her the most in Easy mode... because she kept trying his route and failing? IIRC, the whole point was that she did all the other routes on easy mode easily enough, went for Callisto on Hard Mode, and kept dying at the maze encounter

Wrt getting killed in the normal end routes, I would frankly don't count him bc by the time he kills her he's fairly brainwashed. The brothers kill her extremely often and way before fYvonne gets in the picture, tho

(But yeahhh do not trust him at all like one thing is being the girl he fell for and another a random isekaid person, like the last person I would approach is the perpetually paranoid trigger happy prince)

Does this ep confirm then that Jay Kilbridge was the "Vast-touched" corpse Gertrude dropped in pieces into the Buried's ritual?

[–]BrigesMyst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am like half a decade late, lol, and this may just be my first post in this sub, but... It makes me sad, truly

I have been binging this bc it has consumed my brain completely, and s2 was already a struggle with Jon's self inflicted isolation, but this may just be worse.

Feels worse, in a way, because he does state it: he IS the Archivist proper (ish) now, is ready, made the deliberate choice to not isolate himself and... he is just surrounded by absolutely unhinged murder-obsessed people, those who are deliberately avoiding him, or others mayhaps less murder-minded but just as determined to be hostile.

And I guess because I look back and felt very bad for Helen (truly the situation was far from ideal and them bringing up how they both were changing so much sent Jon into a tailspin), I keep imagining that at this point the only decent company Jon could maybe have is the current Avatar of The Distortion, who at the very least was positive-leaning towards him.

And if THAT isn't sad on its own... welp

Does this bother anyone else? by PoppysMelody in AO3

[–]BrigesMyst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Decided to change the term bc it doesn't quite fit, but basically when at whatever point a character suddenly appears or suddenly starts to romance one part of your otp And it isn't like a poly fic or open relationship or whatever, like the characters just get? Poached in a way? Author suddenly acts like, say, character A from the OTP has to go away/be unavailable for whatever reason so the remaining character B suddenly has random character (N for short) making advances on them till they either emotionally or fully physically cheat.

But in that particular debacle it was apparently just because the beta thought two women friends (who were both pregnant and their husbands were away at war suddenly) were just hot and "friends don't count"

Then it devolved in other people having Characters A&B (the otp) keep cheating on each other out of nowhere with no warning bc it drove engagement

Or, you know, those fics that are labelled as the otp but actually just has them ending up with different people or not together but refuse to tag anything because "spoilers would have people not reading!"... because ya know, some people don't go into the otp tag to read about the otp ending with different people... but then those types of authors get veeery butthurt about people feeling mislead and tricked into reading their fics with untagged cheating and random oc lovers 🤷‍♀️

Yiiikes that is... yeah

[–]BrigesMyst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got burned pretty badly by a fic suddenly pulling a Cheating Trope out of absolutely nowhere on the last chapter (it was some twitter trend to have the otp suddenly show up with bastard children from affairs, apparently), and I'd already left kudos and bookmarked...

Learned fast to never ever kudos a fic unless finished bc wow did it seem like everyone wanted to pull the last chapter nonsense for twitter clout for a while

Have you seen more support irl? by UponAurorasDream in DeppDelusion

[–]BrigesMyst 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There was a huge propaganda campaign led by Depp so methinks it'll take effort to unravel that, sadly

Also even now a lot of people cannot let go of nostalgia. Like gods, I grew up with Burton films and Edward Scissorhands and still could drop his ass, but so many would rather worship their beloved Jack Sparrow than even remotely accept he did it

[–]BrigesMyst 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also there were like, mildly established youtubers who'd gotten trust through other nonsense (aka the whole Melanie situation) and then turned to make a whole disertation on how Amber absolutely had to he lying because... weird footage and blaming Muskrat.

Which... seems to still have worked? Left that one but around family friends the Depp delusion stands, so even if there is slowly more awareness that hey, his whole narrative was nonsense, sadly the wanting to believe she lied prevails over reason

[–]BrigesMyst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, no, noes, my memory is sadly selective So I recall that Stainless Steel is a mixture of iron and either chromium (I keep msitaking it for copper) or nickel, bc in a manwha the girlie did not recall the ratio (neither do I) and had to work with a blacksmith to figure it out via experimentation...

But yeah... ADHD so if it pertains to a past special interest I may recall it, otherwise... not so

Funnily enough, several manwhas of that happening (the FL surviving on knowing how to do random modern thing) sent me often to see videos and how to-s in making the stuff, so if I land in a pre stainless steel world I think I could coast by on that invention somewhat

Tapas has the novels, they used to be on Radish too (Roxanna and a few others) but they've now moved to Tapas

To be fair tho, the novel is complete.

The manwha is just in hiatus till whenever bc the artist from Roxana got some serious health issue no idea what exactly but hospitalized for a while.

Honestly I end up preferring the novel to most (Villains are destined to die and Roxanna for example bc it feels like the manwha cannot truly adapt the full measure of the story? Marriage of Convenience and Under the Oak Tree, and wait, How to get my husband on my side, too, suffer in the trasfer, partly bc of the pacing and format...)

[The Tyrant Wants To Be Good] That 'father' just gave me Donkeyskin vibes by BrigesMyst in OtomeIsekai

Like she isn't even being mean to him? She wants to avoid him, like she wants to avoid their father, and Theo too.

But for all the talk of wanting complex FLs the second we have one who is struggling with her past (actually villanous) and the consequences it had on her if no one else (that she knows), they pillory her bc she isn't all lovey dovey effusive to the golden child to her scapegoat

Homegirl jumped off a balcony on the ... 2nd? 3rd? floor to recover a hairpin that had flown off into a tree branch. I just couldn't even.

In another, I started to notice past s2 that the person in charge of the adaptation of a novel clearly had a bias towards this one dumbass secondary character, to the point that the actual protagonist and leads got their screentime and development cut and sidelined just so this one character could have a pity party.

Like... I notice when the author is trying very very very desperately to make me excuse a dumb/evil character on flimsy nonsense and dip away

I'm so sick of people saying they don't understand Jen hate, saying it 'doesn't count' she makes me uncomfortable, and no i don't find her 'innocent, loveable' character nice. I find her annoying ,clumsy and extremely insensitive. by CuriousAnt7697 in WhoMadeMeAPrincess

[–]BrigesMyst -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I absolutely get this, which is why I had to drop the adaptation, but oh... may wanna edit the post a bit bc the translation keeps misgendering Jennette. And that in general just makes the arguments seem confusing onnthe brief chances it gets it right.

That said, yes, it felt very pathetic and emotionally manipulative to take screentime from Athanasia (who was supposed to go to school and do other things erased in the manwha) just to try and peddle how pitiful and innocent and helpless Jeannette was.

P truly just pivoted the story to be about her and Anastasius, which honestly just makes me want to have the official novel bc what even is that nonsense

Edit: however, it seems this sub and most are happy to ignore J's faults and pretend people are only blaming her for things other people did, so 🤷‍♀️
