unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

Honestly that's so much in my mind but idk what to say as SO many things to do say and idk I feel comfortable in discord instead hahaha
Love your review and thanks there ^^
The last encouragement to Mono: will you help at Cpc wiki because you seems to be expert at outfits which I am not ahaha - literally IRL plaid prince (outside Blaine) behavior I an who dressed all kinda same thing haha kek
CPC EPILOGUE
One last...One last review...before...*gasp for air*...it all fall into the pit of daily pass...*dramatically fall into the ground*
ALL THOSE CHAPTERS. Those were some damn rollercoasters. And yet with everything we've been through, we're finally here...
Let's get right into it
JACK FINALLY REUNITING WITH LEELATHAE!! Relationship goal fr <3 This whole Leelathae portrait stuff is actually making me curious about some things. For instance like, does Leelathe still sleep? I mean, she's pretty much a spirit now, right? Does she still do daily human acitivities, or does she roam around the castle all day?
It's awesome to see what the pastel siblings are doing now! :D
Tumblr media
First of all, Lorena definitely deserve that A+++++. No questions asked. Hopefully this can make up for her whole grade, considering she said she has never gotten an A in her entire life XD
I love how Maria is becoming really ambitious towards her dream!
And Gwen bonding with her mom's side of the family <3 That is simply so sweet. It looks like Jamie love those food XD I wonder what are the recipes for those dishes.
Tumblr media
Also pretty curious what those little beads are! I assume they are berries?
Jamie and Leopold creating lots of paintings so Leelathae can venture around!! Since Leelathae can also visit dreams, do you think she visits each of her children's dream every night?
Old guard name reveal HECK YEAH!! I've been waiting for that. So happy he got all those recognitions and promotion!!
And Becket getting demoted lmaoo
Is it rude for me to say that with what Beckett did before the invasion (ignore Frederick), and how he immediately decided to confess to Maria without any consideration for the room, he kindaa had it coming? xd I get that he was excited but don't just do that man.
Tumblr media
Just wanted to say I absolutely love Lorena's outfit in this panel! Between all of the pastel siblings, her fashion style has always been my favorite. VOTE QUEEN LORENA WOOOOO!!!!
Everyone's getting their appreciations like they deserve!! I'm happy for everyone.
Tumblr media
FREDERICK FINALLY GETTING THE RECOGNITION, THE APPRECIATION, AND THE PROUDNESS HE DESERVE!! I'M SO PROUD OF HIM EVERYONE LOOK AT HIM. LOOK AT THE BOY.
Tumblr media
The Cursed Princess Club!! Everyone may have a hard time accepting them at first but they always have their family and friends' back <3 Love how Tori is just "CLAP YOU HEATHENS" Lmao XD
Also the fact that Whitney is just standing there so awkwardly :') he looks like the standing emoji.
Welp, out of the town and to the prison we go~
Leland not getting any visitors in the prison is honestly a really good punishment; a painful one too. How we see in the last chapters about how he realized that Jack actually love him and he has a breakdown, Isolde's speech to him about what else could he possible want, realizing that this whole time he has had everything. And now he's rotting in jail losing everything he once had. All because of envy and hatred. Just because he wasn't satisfied until he could see the man he once love the most suffer. Emotionally, that's really fucking painful.
Out of the prison we go~
Tumblr media
So, Pizza exist in the CPC universe? XD That's not supposed to be surprising but I was taken aback for some reason. I guess CPC is set after the 18th century, then!
I can imagine it already. With Suzie moving to the Pastel Kingdom, Lorena will definitely hang out with her almost everyday. Them sparring and eating at a cafe in their free time <3 Sometimes Lance would join too :] They would share notes!!
FINALLY THEY STOLE THE PORTRAIT BACK!! I wonder where they will hang it up? Maybe at the Cpc? Or at the Pastel Palace?
Jack declaring the cpc's forest as a protected place is so damn awesome like, he cares about his daughter's friends!! ALSO THE SPIDER TALKING ABOUT NEWEST MEMBER?? I wonder who...
Tumblr media
This panel is everything for me.
BENEDICT IS SO DAMN DEVOTED WHAT??? BRO He tricked the sea cucumber to curse him so he can find his lover!!! (This sounds so confusing out of context lmao) TRUE RELATIONSHIP GOAL.
BLAQUELYN LOOKS SO PRETTY???? I LOVE HER FASHION STYLE SO MUCH!! She rocks that outfit fr!! But Greyden 💀 Deep down I'm still wondering how very little of his hair could make a whole damn coat..
GUYS. GUYS IT'S HAPPENING. EVERYBODY STAY CALM
Tumblr media
NELL AND JOLIE WEDDING LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO
Holy shit. First of all another point about the outfits cause I loveee observing everyone's outfit!! Their wedding dress is absolutely!! Pretty!!! The details Lambcat put is amazing. I can see that Jolie's wearing high heels, so can we assume she and Nell has the same height? Absolutely adore how Jolie's dress has ruffles look while Nell's more silky!!
The wedding's decoration is totally magical too!! It looks so majestic and angelic.
Celso and Aurelia is a couple I would never expect but honestly? I'm not complaining. Imagine their date is them sitting at a cafe right at the window seats, watching people outside while roasting each one of them <3 Dream date fr
I do hope it's true love though because if not, R.I.P Celso XD
Tumblr media
Holy shit.. EVERYONE PLEASE, ALLOW ME TO MAKE YET ANOTHER FASHION REVIEW. BECAUSE GOODNESS GRACIOUS THIS DRESS IS MAKING ME SWOON. OKAY DAMN YOU GO MARIA YOU GO. First of all the blue fabric looks so metallic, I love that!! The light blue glittery ruffles with little pearls on its edges are also gorgeous. I love the lace necklace complimenting the dress and especially, I fricking love the blue transculent fabric on her arms!!! She looks so graceful.
She got noticed by her idol!!! That is so dang amazing. How she looks in the album cover is also just, woah.
Tumblr media
Blaine buddy you cannot just do that. You cannot just. No. Please I'm begging you, reunite with your family. You can go on ahead with your self discovery journey, of course! But at least visit them once or twice :') Your mom is real worried about you, man...
I hope there's going to be a spin off or something about Blaine's journey...
NEW CPC HEADQUARTER??? HECK YEAH!!
Monika opening her jewelry store and achieving her dream!! So proud of her :D and Gwen opening her own bakery!!
Unfortunately I've run out of picture space...
Gwen can finally see her own reflection I am so proud of her :') She love herself!!
Goodness...Leelathae's letter... I need a moment to sob.
I fricking love the message this webtoon gives, man. It's just so damn wholesome and important. Beauty is on the inside. It's a simple message but damn it really is important to understand that message!!
Gwen is wearing braids Y'ALL 😭😭 SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL
Okay, I'm wondering about something here! In the panel where the pastel family are having breakfast together, we can see Leelathae eating pancakes in her portrait too! Does this mean she can eat? Can food be transported to portraits? Or did Leopold paint a pancake or smth XD
THE LAST. FUCKING PANEL.
Gwen and Frederick holding hands in front of the CPC building while being surrounded by sunflowers which once scare Frederick but now he looks so happy and in peace. I'm so glad everyone each got their deserved ending :')
Well, I suppose this is the last review, then. That's kind of sad, to be honest. But I've loved writing each of my reviews, and I want to say thank you to people who have interracted with them. I always love hearing y'all's thought and theories!! Maybe one day I'll find a new webtoon series which I can write these reviews on!! But for now, this shall be the last cpc review I write!
Mono out! (But still in to hear your thoughts)

I'd kind of like Frederick with A1. He deserves to commit a homicide right now. I have other ones too if you're not okay with the blood, I just figured I shouldn't put everything in the same ask
I'm totally fine with blood, dw!

9C, Frederick? Thanks ^^
Amount of bloods in CPC imho lacking what I as haemophilic, like it - go fight, Fred!
The fact that Frederick survived being slamed into a door and getting glass shatter on his face without any bloody injury still amaze and confuse me

I might be a little biased but I’m honestly starting to believe that there’s no purer form of love than the defensive spite you see from biologists that have devoted their life to the study of a maligned or misunderstood species. For example:
The hyena biologist that arranged for Disney animators to come sketch captive  hyenas for The Lion King film (Laurence Frank) was so incensed when the animals were depicted as villains in the movie that he later included boycotting the film on a list of ways the average person could help hyena conservation.
Though it’s commonly known that Charles Darwin’s distaste for parasitic wasps played a role in his development of evolution theory (since he felt no loving God would create animals with such a disturbing life cycle), the biologists who study these wasps find it an unfair characterization. When they were tasked with coming up with a common name for the family of parasitic wasps (Ichneumonidae) that old Charles so disliked, they proposed the name “Darwin Wasps” to spite the famous naturalist who had insulted their beloved family of insects.
Parasitologist Tommy Leung was so frustrated with the way people write about parasites to evoke horror and gore that he started writing a Parasite of the Day blog, that specifically avoids inflammatory or unsettling language to describe them. He also illustrates different species in colorful anime art on Twitter in a series called Parasite Monster Girls—which he calls his “love letter to parasites.”
I guess I’m just saying that if you’re a biologist studying an unpopular species and you have a little bit of a chip on your shoulder about it you can always count on me to be in your corner if you want to get a little petty with the public!

Because Autism Acceptance Month is approaching, Walmart is apparently trying to look sensitive by selling autism t shirts.
Only problem?
The shirts are from AUTISM SPEAKS.

Curses and Cures : Magics and Science
A Tumblr post thread that @randomgentlefolk about a panel in episode 145th of CPC 'Prison Break' makes me realizes that I've been writing quite much about these topics of the title
Also special thanks to @meritre2460 there as our conversation in discord is the one that helps make these points that could be united together on a long Tumblr post
So here, I make the post about these in as much as orderly possible - but it seems this post might be the long one, I am not forcing anyone to read it. To anyone that willing read this thou, I am really appreciates it and really hope you guys enjoy it ! Cheers from me as a biology nerd gal there. Let's start things with a quote to start the post:
"Science is a way of talking about the universe in words that bind it to a common reality. Magic is a method of talking to the universe in words that it cannot ignore. The two are rarely compatible." — Neil Gaiman, The Books of Magic
So... Before we wanders to the topic.. First - I really like to give some introduction facts about CPC universe there :
Tumblr media
Curses might not mended completely (or we could say as 'partial curse' like what Whitney had) or there's no known remedies for their curse (like crow transformation of Monika, which later could be refers as 'full curse') - that currently any doctors (science faction) and wizards (magic faction) of their universe know of. Also there's some common belief roots from what most fairy tales shown that curses could be broken easily, when the reality isn't.
Cursed people (especially for the royals - princes and princesses - due to them have high expectations from their kingdomhoods) thought to be unfit fot their kingdoms. They aren't really viewed kindly out in the public so they're (usually) keep hidden (or even locked) by their own families to avoid public's reactions to them that varies from fear, panic, and even violence. Leland the Plaid king thought the 'Cursed Comfort Fund' is compassionate solution for any cursed citizens of a kingdom that he thought have no value until they can be fixed. It's totally wrong - as anyone has their own value and shouldn't be ashamed of what they are
'Curses in CPC universe comes in various forms, for the examples - It make the cursed got curse at their : (1) eyes [Jolie and Nell] (2) nose [Syrah and Whitney]; (3) mouth [Aurelia and Renee]; (4) hand [Saffron and Thermidora]; (5) body transformation [Monika and Calpernia]; (6) skin (Abbi); (7) condition [like have a tail for Bernadette's case].
The reason of the first clause is because the topic of curses is complex, like the general mainstreamed cure for the curses - 'true love's kiss' - is very complex. How to define a love to be true? Is the 'kiss' supposed to be with lips - what if the love source doesn't have any lips for example? Also the witch said that true love doesn't necessary to be one, so if there's multiple options, how to choose it ?
I honestly don't know what Maria refers to "guessing some weird's man name" - but who the one that guessing it? the one that got cursed? What if the cursed in the state that makes them can't guessing - like for example got sleeping curse or becomes quite mindless ?
The notion of the source of cure like 'Prince Charming' or 'A happily-ever-after' could fades away, leaving the cursed people in their state of getting cursed -> another reason of possibility of the 'no cure' for the curse because the externall part of cure is evaporates of it's existence.
The CPC (Cursed Princess Club) is a secret sanctuary - founded and lead by the 'Prez' Calpernia - located in the 'haunted' forest of Pastel kingdom with having commandment of P.A.N.D.A that basically want to make a place so the members could support each other and remind themself that they're beautiful and worthy of happiness regarding of what anyone said. The Club throughout the series going to have improvements like allowing people that not cursed to joins (Gwendolyn) and learn to forgives people (Aurelia, Whitney, Frederick).
Tumblr media
So as the facts gathered (I heavily referencing from CPC episode of the 13th 'The Cursed Princess Club' and the 100th episode 'Curses'), we'll move to the topic - curses and cures: magic and science - The topic will starts with the analogy of curses as (not yet curable) 'incurable diseases', so in that term is science - but things can't be literally rationale and the magic might fell into the discussion... But to limits things, I am only explain what I can which is relating it to science then if magic involved, taking things from other series reference like Harry Potter universe-series. Also the discussion could happened because we got confirmation that modern aspects (which is science faction) is existed and even integrated in daily live of CPC universe; like the existence of pills, plumbing etc -> plus, the period delayed medicine confirmed to could counterattack Prez' transformation = becomes her cure.
Tumblr media
(Image Xth. Prez disdain to the acclaimed 'cure' for curses, I am waiting with fingers crossed when Prez realized the one that makes fake crystal is Leland then demolish him)
So, here the first discussion point of the topic - Prez cure!
Prez cure: Period delayer pill -> Medicine-Biology aspects
Tumblr media
Period delay tablets contain norethisterone, an artificial version of progesterone (reproductive hormone). These work by keeping the progesterone levels in the body artificially higher for longer – ultimately delaying the arrival of a period.  By artificially keeping your natural progesterone levels up, it stops the lining of your womb from shedding and delays your period. Good news but it means Prez need to keep taking the med. Also the usage description of the medicine is right, BUT please to only taking medicine with professional advice ><
What happens if you take norethisterone 2 days before period? Taking Norethisterone a few days before your period is due, for example, will fool your body into believing you're pregnant, and you won't have a period until you stop taking it. If you take Norethisterone a few days before your period, your body will believe you're pregnant.
Tumblr media
it seems even thou the medicine will works and Prez not gonna transform to spider anytime soon - the side effect totally make her irritated etc = not feeling too heahltly, but if she routinely drinks it then her body might adaptable to not getting period there = no more curse of become were-spider!
Tumblr media
For anyone nerdy enough to be able stands chemistry there - the ingredient of period delayer drug surprisingly 'simple' imho : The active substance is norethisterone. Each tablet contains 5mg. The other ingredients are lactose, maize starch and magnesium stearate. I am afraid the herbal ingredient gonna be tongue tying ingredients but it seems easy enough imho -> latin name for Maize/Corn is Zea mays
Tumblr media
-> So to conclude, Science canonically beats Prez curse that latched to her periods = Cure of curse could be viewed in science aspect, not necessary to be 'magical' one.
So as Prez basically cured, how about other members of CPC? Do they have chance to be cured from their curses?
Let's moves to Aurelia, which her step-father said that he found a leading knowledge to cure her curse in episode 145
Tumblr media
Theory regarding the cure for Aurelia -> Chemistry (pH)
If trying to be logical, I think the way to cure Aurelia's curse is to determine what kind exactly the 'spit' is in Aurelia's mouth - does it some kind of acid that could neutralized with something alkaline-based? If the spit pH (power of hydrogen, the value score to determine the acidity of some material-the lower the value, the more acid it is and vice versa) could be neutralized somewhat, that means Aurelia won't melt anything = she'll get cured as her curse get countered.
Tumblr media
As in real world, high extreme pH value of acids is even inside our body - in form of stomach acid that help body to melt and digest anything we eat. So by the same sense, I feel Aurelia's curse is something similar but more fast-acting then what we had in our stomach. The pH value of stomatch acid is 1.5 to 3.5 (which extremely aciditic, and it actually become disease if the pH value of it not on balance range). Our stomach acid can theoretically dissolve some metals, so is other materials like various foods we ingested (and like Aurelia's example - some parchment paper as well) but ofc the melting pace and how it disintegrate it varies to each material - like in form of food, things like breads will easily melts but the foods with fibre ones like fruit and vegetable will have slower melting pace compared to breads.
Tumblr media
From the image above we could see how much acidity is the stomatch acid, bro literally near the limit on the left
About the Sleeping 'potion' curse -> Medicine-Biology-Psychology (Science aspect) ~ Potions (magical aspect)
Now we hits the possibly the longest topic in this post -sleeping potion 'curse- that very delicate and complex, this topic actually triggers from my conversation at the Tumblr of science might being the cure for certain curses - Confirmed with Prez' curse that latched with her period. Which is "Does sleeping potion that the witch made used science ?" - I think it might, but before we talking about it I want to explain that this part is the most complex as we have 2 aspects that usually clashes each other (the Science and the Magics) intertwined together on their way of explaining the curse of getting 'sleeping potion' and how to cure it. Also from the witch answer, it's seems anyone that consumed sleeping potion will succumbs to indefinite sleeps that irl-counterpart will be like if someone fells in the coma.
Tumblr media
As some researchers (here the link if want to read: https://kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frym.2019.00019 and https://massivesci.com/articles/brain-disorder-of-consciousness-coma-smell-test-odor/) found that people in coma could recover themself especially if they could senses things (like could hear or smells) - but they're indeed on the lowest state of human awareness in deep sleep.
Now in science aspect, we could see the condition after someone gets cursed to sleep could be related to the coma. Now we moves on to the aspect that begins intertwined science with magic - does 'sleeping potion' curse could be similar to the 'over-the-counter'/OTC sleeping pill?
Tumblr media
By Jamie tasting in episode 5 'Pie Tasting', it confirmed that the poisoned Apple is coated with sleeping potion
-> Feel free to read this article about IRL sleeping pill (https://www.bannerhealth.com/healthcareblog/teach-me/are-over-the-counter-sleep-aids-risky#:~:text=“Most%20over%2Dthe%2Dcounter,its%20own%20risks%20and%20benefits.”). the interesting part is where herbal ingredients of OTC sleeping pill (Valerian, Chamomile, Saffron). One of it, Valerian, is the main ingredient of HP-universe sleeping potion which is 'sleeping draught'=which means the overlapping fact that sleeping agent IRL also the ingredient of making a sleeping potion (here the link for Sleeping Draught: https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Sleeping_Draught)
Tumblr media
Also interesting fact that I found to be a big irony of what-ifs, is that Frederick almost cursed by CPC to be sleeping (which what happened right now to Gwendolyn, don't worry I will talk about the possible cure for sleeping potion after this intermizo) during the time he followed Gwen to CPC.
Tumblr media
As calming tea that Monika have likely contains Chamomiles, the same herbal in sleeping pill. Imagine what-if possibly could happened in episode 84 [Intruder part 2], CPC brewing too many tea bags at once=It seems will be ends no good, and might make CPC accidentally conconts a cursed 'sleeping potion'.
Imagine If Frederick really drinks or sips that tea, thus he might won't wake up 'directly' as what CPC's planned.. So the CPC comes to Gwendolyn to asks something like these ; "Ermm, hello Gwen? We're really sorry.. we kinda accidentally cursed your fiance to sleep in that flower meadows and he not waking up ever since.. Could you give him 'true love's kiss' to wake him up?"
Tumblr media
Crying as the one that got cursed with sleeping potion not necessary get 'pleasant dream' - confirmed by the Witch.
~ Now we've on the latter part, THE CURE! Based on the witch, the rules is the curse only could be broken up by 'true love's kiss' or some way of 'witch-only' thing that IMHo gonna be the potion's antidote (which in HP universe, the counter of sleeping potion is 'the Wiggenwald potion : )https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Wiggenweld_Potion). I like to talking about magical aspect first, starting with interesting trivia about this potion that could reverses the effect of sleeping draught ;
A wizard prince once used this potion to awaken an unidentified princess who had been given the Draught of Living Death by the hag Leticia Somnolens. The prince first smeared some of the potion on his lips and then kissed the princess, awakening her from her slumber. -> Imagine that Frederick tried 'the witch way' by copied what this prince wizard did - he smeared the potion first on his lips thus kissing Gwen (imagine the similar scene of the 'misleading scene' of Jack and Lilyth there : -> Jack and Lilyth has similar romantic scenes with Frederick and Gwendolyn, just saying)
This 'antidote' potion main ingredient is 'Wiggentree barks' - which I wonder if CPC-universe have that ingredient (based on Abbi attempt to making potion during episode 31-32, at least canonical CPC potion ingredients are: Newt's eyeballs, chimera/chimaera's blood, Centaur hair and Racoon's teeth -which are all have unknown properties in potion, with only newt eye ball that ever used in HP universe potion-> usually for 'archaic' potions like the ageing potion).
Now we back to the first option of the cure for the 'sleeping potion' curse which is "true love's kiss". The witch stated in the Gala that the 'true love's kiss' doesn't necessary come from one source in our entire life (and it could be inanimate thing, like Waffles for Jamie's case) - as sometimes we can change and grows - that's perfectly okay. From here, I bet there's so many theories about how to cure Gwen's sleeping curse - be it from Frederick (honestly real kiss of them will be really nice, but there's also people that dislikes that notion and thinks their love is foolish thing -sighs), Gwen's sisters - Lorena and Maria (so Gwen could waken up like the movie 'Maleficient' which princess Aurora got peck from the Maleficient that essentially becomes her family), or by Gwen herself (so the biggest lesson of the CPC "Self-Love" could be explained with the analogy of she waking herself up, like the analogy is Gwen kissing her [mirror image etc) self ).
In my Humble Opinion, all of the theories could be true - but not in the way of making Gwen suddenly awakes from either option -> Is to strengthen the belief in Gwen-self the fact about everyone loves Gwen in their own way (be it familiar, platonic, romantic, friendships, and self-love) - but Gwen need to stop blocking her negative thoughts first (taken from episode 139 'Lilyth's diary part 5' ; Frederick never loved you, No one ever loved you -> all false!), then taking closure to the facts that people loves her just as the way she is & Frederick's love to her is genuine one - no act and fakeness - which imho the idea of everyone that loves her will surrounding her to strengthening the belief it will be so lovely and heartwarming. Also I think Lilyth's diary that Aurelia brought upon will be immensely helpful for the notion of Gwen getting closures, like it possible for Leelathea appeared in Gwen's dream + I really hope Frederick as well! In a way to helping Gwen fixing the shattering image of her - as Frederick experiences the same thing when he bullied during his military academy
Tumblr media
Then after Gwen finally taking closure (especially to Frederick's apologies, and the fact that everyone indeed loves her), I theorized (based on the CPC's webtoon banner where dream Gwen wearing her mother's robe, looking confused in some unknown place that feels very similar to the Crystal Room Jamie+Leopold art exhibition) that Gwen found a mirror then bracing herself to see her image in it - which she found there's no shatterings anymore while reflecting her image as perfectly as she is (like the Potrait showdon arc).
What-if they meet the witch (the character that chill enough and even helpful) + Possible cure for CPC members
Before going to telling the prediction of what the witch could do to help CPC members, let's talk about how I view a curse is. It's seems safe to assume that the curses could be seensimilar with disease - as like there's incurable diseases 'till this day (but humanity could manages the conditions of the patient e.g people with the cancer and HIV/AIDS)
Those incurable diseases becomes quite 'manageable' by treating the sympthoms;
- Cancer: eliminate the mass of cancerous cells as much as possible, by various means like operation and chemotherapy. - HIV/AIDS: manage the patient's body to always in healthly specturem and trying the best to avoids getting sick espcially from infectious agent, by always to keep the medication that helps the immune system in high performance routinely and never misses out.
So in sense of science, curses that deemed 'incurable' could be manageable by counteracting the cause/trigger of the curse. Which for example being in state of the following : anxious (Monika), dishonest (Syrah) and in period (Prez)
Few of curses of CPC members, I have no idea yet to counters it (in Science way) aside from asking the curser to reverse it are (so make peace with the curser;
- Abbi (how the box that like Pandora box works anyway?)
- Renee (where the frogs come from? Like at the base of her throat or at her vocal chords? Does anytime she opens her mouth, the frog comes out? What if she sneezed or yawned for example - which makes Renee need to opens her mouth involuntarily??)
- Saffron (No, his incapability to growing heard isn't actual curse as any hair growing concoction might works - I am talking about his cursed hand that uncontrollable).
-> P.S: I want to add Syrah's pinocchio curse too, but I realized that her curse could be manageable if she living in honesty - become wiser to realize there's consequences to lies - aside from the blatant one which elongates her nose.
Tumblr media
What if CPC meets the witch (that making poisoned apples) and fortunately as she knows a lot of cures, she knows the cures as well? I feel many curses that CPC members actually could be cured, but mostly by making negotiations (and even forgiveness) to the ones that curse them - such as following:
1) Prez kinda cured with that period delayer medicine (and irl if taking regularly, it even making the body thinking it on pregnant phase=won't on period), and Whitney's curse is actually from the same place where Prez curse is... What if the curse serums merchant confronted? He know how to make the curse serums - he probably know the antidotes as well -> kinda busted with the possibility that the merchant simply the seller and don't know how to make serums, but if that's the case he could be the lead to find who the makers of the cursed serums and CPC could deals accordingly.
2) Abbi curse is come from the box that kinda like 'the pandora box', I think if we carefully check out the box and tracking the box giver - they could relents then give the cure
3) Syrah and Renee and Saffron and that background OP character (I taking her OC name from @IHFrederick fic, nickname Cori right?) - all get it because they cursed by someone (jealous ex/love rival)/goblin/banshee with vengeance intent - maybe when they asks and negotiate (and asks for forgiveness like Renee's case) thus making necessary amends, would the curser forgive the CPC members and helps to cure them? -> Bernadette that has tail is kinda lacking information, we don't know how she got cursed yet but seems she quite chills with her curse
4) Speaking of chills, it seems Jolie is the one that the most alright with her curse (it also kind of perk to have infinite inventory space in person) + she knows of why she got cursed and alright with it (literally to saving her kingdom) and her parents is loving her very much -> if she want to get cured, she need to meet the dealer again - but will she? the only drawback of her curse according to her is can't wear mascara after all
5) Nell's curse is the most problematic (because it giving her epileptic-like attacks) and the most mysterious (does she cursed from birth? who cursing her?) -> so I truly have no idea of how to cure her, but probably the witch and her associates could have lead of cure. Also like epilelpsy, certain medication might helps to eases her pain -> Just make sure to never let Nell (and anyone with epilepsy) alone, as once they experiences the attack they can;t control their own movements which could leads them to hurt themself.
Nell's family way to locks her up in solitary confinement to make her utters prophecies is very very wrong - I am really glad that Prez saving her from living alone in there.
6) Aurelia's cure: imho science way as the explained above, analyze her spit then determine how to counter the effect.
7) Monika's curse is that she's cursed to be crow by a wizard (might be the witch's associate, and she could reach out to asks him to counter the curse completely) -> her kingdom's solution (is still theory, but quite rationale to believe) is to counter the curse by making her 'human' (similar to Thermidora's curse, which makes her turn to be part human) but with contra indication of still turns back to be crow every time she's anxious -> or continue the CPC's way - to keep Monika calm and alright with everyday life, including when meeting new people like when ordering the food or when her dream of opening the jewerly shop could become true = meeting new people like her Jewerly store's customers
8) Bernadette's curse - having tail: Her curse remind me HP, when Rubeus Hagrid cursing Dudley with pig tail then Dudley sent to a hospital so his 'cursed' tail could be cut off = and it's works. The witch may know the counter of her tail curse, or her collagues does - but science way of operation is open too
9) The background character that wearing blue dress and have cursed by her love rival `to make all men in vicinity to cried in anguish'-> imho her curse not severe (not to belittle her curse or anything) as CPC men (Curtis, Saffron, Whitney) seems fine around her (well we don't have them really beside her all throughout story but still). Also she dislikes the rowdiness of royal parties' fake politeness : which imho becomess her own reason to stays in CPC not to find her cure but to chills out. Idk if she want the cure for her curse honestly = also how to cure her?
10) Thermidora's curse seems could be countered with 'doing something to makes her back to full-lobster' -> could be potion or cursed serum, but for latter part I am not trust it as the curses that merchant makes seems make the cursed lost their mind when transformed (as Prez' case when transformed to be were-spider) -> but it seems the witch could concoct something much safer for Thermidora.
~ So here all the text about the topic 'curses and cure: magic and science' there! Hope you guys enjoys it ^^

Small artists you need to understand that when you see an artist who you think has 'made it' tells you not to worry about the numbers and to not fret about getting more likes than reblogs they are not telling you it because they think you are stupid for caring or because they dont need to network to survive they are very likely telling you that because they have witnessed first hand the way the numbers game tears people to shreds in terms of mental health and motivation
