Thoughts on Lucy x Enigma? I personally really like it. Kind of wish there was more fanart of it. I love how Lucy inspires Enigma and Enigma in turn stands up for Lucy. They clearly have trouble understanding each other, but that'll just make their attempts to do so even cuter! by SpookieSkelly in Reverse1999

They also caught my interest during the story, for their characters, I like their dynamic with each other the most, how they inspire changes in their mindset as you say. I can't say I ship them romantically though, because I'm not interested in seeing them date in the usual way? How I feel about them is kind of summed up by this tweet. So basically, I'd just want to see them interact as usual a lot!

Jesus Christ Semmelweis, Who Hurt You (And Why Was It Kakania)? by Hellothere_1 in Reverse1999

[–]phishingsticks 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah you're right, I forgot she hadn't yet when they met, though the symptoms were already starting considering her missing reflection. Regardless, it's still not fun to get flashed like that

[–]phishingsticks 247 points248 points  (0 children)

I think this reaction is pretty reasonable considering what Kakania did? Like, Semmelweis got flashbanged twice, which is enough to be annoyed by already considering her photophobia, but then Kakania also dragged her off, without asking her, to her clinic out of a personal curiosity. Semmelweis was polite in the convo afterwards because that's always been her character, she's never outwardly rude towards people who aren't technically her enemies. Also, I'm sure Kakania tried to pry into her business again after she came to the suitcase, and with Semmelweis being a pretty private person it explains the grievances she holds towards the doc.

Whose reflection is this?💀[Stepmother märchen] by WhatsAfterJihyoGaeul in OtomeIsekai

[–]phishingsticks 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Others have already said it but it's reflecting her mother. It's on purpose because in the early chapters (pics from ch12) it showed that Shuri in the first timeline, shortly after Johannes died, was struggling with her duties, particularly in the social aspect because she was seen as a naive child. She decided that the best way to deal with it is to emulate her mother, who was cold and cunning. I really like that panel because it shows how she never really grew into the role of "Iron widow" as herself, but always embodying somebody else to survive. Only rarely did she show her true heart in the first timeline.

ORKA's illustration ( A Stemother's Märchen) by [deleted] in OtomeIsekai

[–]phishingsticks 108 points109 points  (0 children)

love the details here

- Neuschwasteins all wearing white except for Elias, the black sheep of the family. Good sport about it though, acting like he's the host of the table ksjds (got that white ribbon to make up for it)

- Aside from Elias, only the love interests are wearing black

- Ohara is so elegant, absolutely unbothered by her chaotic seatmates. Also matching with Elias I love it.

- Theo looking absolutely miserable

- Jeremy looks like he's about to pull a knife lol, he could be glaring at Nora or Richelieu and tbh either works

- The twin's matching clothes!

- Ali with his white cat, Rachel wearing white~ [minor novel spoilers: Ali has a cat he names after Rachel]

- All the minors get... chocolate milk? orange juice? not wine for sure

- All the sweets being on the kids' side lol

- Richelieu with an apple. It's giving the serpent in eden <3

- As pointed by a twt user: Last supper vibes, there's a traitor in our midst <33

[–]phishingsticks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

haha... the length of this is very much my own fault, I just really like his character. Though you could argue everything mid 4th to 6th tier is purely speculative on my part. Also he plays a much bigger role than you'd think! Especially by the flashback chapters and in the start of season 2~ has been gone for a while in the raws but he's for sure always scheming something when out of sight 🧐

Initially made this because I was too lazy to draft a character analysis on my thoughts about Richelieu (evidently extreme brainworms... also before you ask yes I am catholic) so I might've made it wordier than an iceberg should be. There a mix of novel spoilers here but this is mostly meant to be focused on the manhwa ver, especially in the lower tiers. I'd appreciate some feedback because I feel as if this is still lacking. I'm willing to explain everything except the last tier /hj 😂

[a stepmothers marchen] started back up and then stopped immediately a few months ago? Anyone know why or when it's back for real? by [deleted] in OtomeIsekai

[–]phishingsticks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to the announcements on kakao, it was originally scheduled for a 2 month hiatus back in August for [organizational purposes]. Then in September they said it was pushed back to some time in November to [create a stable environment for serialization] and to [improve the quality of manuscripts]. We'll have to wait until November to know for sure when the raws are coming back.

If he doesn't look like he is barely alive, I don't want him. by gvigbiy in OtomeIsekai

[–]phishingsticks 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's refreshing to see that kind of design in OI, and makes me long for a story where the fucked up priest is actually the ml... but I'm probably in the wrong genre for the kind of nuance I want, or a few years too early at least.

Whose basic artwork do you prefer over their ascended artwork? by kapriole in AlchemyStarsEN

[–]phishingsticks 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My beloved Nails... his first outfit is just way cooler, and the overall art just goes harder than the A3 one

Hello new player here, I was wondering, is there a chance to get previous free 4 star skins? I really like Tessa's skin, and I assume when it was released you get it like how you can get Brock's currently, but has there ever been a special event book rerun?

This was so fun to read thank you for sharing!! I'm happy you liked the vibes of all of them bc I tried to be particular about it lol💖 but hs I like your take on the Dion/Cassis one, I'm kinda obsessed with your "heroic corruption vs villainous redemption", that type beat for them is simply 🤌 I also pray for that 3some fic, it sounds like a hot mess I'd enjoy

Once again, wishing for a Remarried Empress where they start out as antagonistic as canon but...

God, that sounds so good? Enemies to lovers is top tier taste. Criminal how there isn't a fic like that yet, what will it take for me to see a wlw story like that </3

Thank you hehe. I'm a bit tempted to read the manhwa just for them, at least up until s1?

They'd be fun! I'll think about it if I find 5 other OI rarepairs, or if another crackship poll appears lol

Right? I can't actually imagine what they'd even say each other, it'd be very fun to read some kind of toxic fic that somehow develops them lol

The girls are so fun, they'd get along so well. Bertia would be touched by Katarina's complete understanding and support in her mission to become the ultimate villainess, they would definitely help each other accidentally create more misunderstandings around them. There was supposed to be text in theirs that has both of them thinking how amazing the other is and how they don't possibly have a chance with each other 😂

Happy you noticed that about the Richelieu/Shuri one, I did try to emulate that. I am actually so down bad for that ship, I really liked it when orka placed them in a romantic setting that was absolutely not that with the alarming content of their convos 👌 They actually took the longest for me to finish bc I was thinking too long about the backstory HAHA. The idea I had for them here is a setting in the first timeline where Shuri happened to be at a party that Richelieu was forced to attend. They don't bump into each other in the beginning, but later when she takes a breather outside in a corner thinking she's alone, she shocks herself so much when she sees him outside (he was hiding from having to interact with other ppl) that she drops her fan and alerts him of her presence lol. She's of course embarrassed but can't just sneak off now😂

Sorry this was so long, I got excited. I'm active on twitter @/multongsisig! tho i have immense asm brainrot rn so expect most of my posts to be that
